Peanut Butter.

There Is an interesting little exhibit at
the export exposition which daily at
tracts large number of visitors. They
do not come to see, nor yet to hear, but
rather to crafty a recently acquired
taste for peanut butter, which the kind
old inventor of the butter-making ma.
chine hands out In small amounts on
diminutive soda crackers. The inven-
tor, who Is kept busy grinding out the
auuring product, Is just such a looking
old fellow as one would expect to invent
contrivance that makes everybody
who approaches happy and comforta-
BILE. He is kindly eyed and smiling.
His voice is like the sound of bubbllng
soup, and his idea of happiness is to
have somebody open wide his mouth,
pop inside the bit of cracker smothered
with peanut butter and then raise both
eyes ecstatically, smack his lips audi
bly,, and say: "Wow, but that's goodp'
Every motion of the consumer is keenly
noticed, and If the verdict Is favorable
the old inventor is your friend for life.

OPIUM SMOKING IN THE ORIENT
Hitting the Pipe" in the Chinese
Empire and in Formosa.

Hitting the Pipe" in the Chinese
Empire and in Formosa.
To learn the actual number of opium
smokers Is impossible, but we know the
amount Of the foreign import of this
drug and the naive confessions of re-
formed opium smokers tells us precisely
the amount of opium required to pass
the yin or craving. 1t is one-fifth Of an
ounce daily. An ounce or lang is con-
sumed in five days, and a catty suffices
for eighty days. Four catties are
enough for 800 days, and another half
catty will carry the smoker to the end
of a year with comfort. A picul Is
enough, then, for only twenty-five per-
sons, and $4,000 piculs Is sufficient for
not more than 100000 persons. The
Law Of compulslon in the smoker Is just
as tmperious for native opium as for
foreign. 1t Is matter of great interest
to know the extent Of the evil.
In regard to Szechuen, that very pop
ulous and wealthy province, Mr..
Schjoth, In the Trade Report for 1898
informs us that SZechuen produces 1OO,-
900 piculs of opium, and the cultivation
Is always increasing. At Chungching,
where he is commissioner, he is told
that 10000 piculs suffice for consump-
ton In the province, and that $4,000
piculs are exported. We may conclude
that the smokers Of that province can.
not be less than 100000. Since the pop.
ulation Is 67,OO0OOO, the number of
smokers is one in a hundred. In Shensi
one in one hundred and forty smoke; In
Szechuen one in a hundred. In Formosa
one IN fifteen is the proportion in cities
where the people are sunk to the lowest
point Of degradation, and this Is the
largest proportion yet known of opium
smokers as compared with the general
population.-Shanghai (Chlna) Mercury.

Few people will find fault with Ad-
miral Deweys aversion to promiscuous
handshaking, and his frankness in OBJ
5ecting to 1t and refusing to submit to
it Is the latest of the many little in
dices of his candid nature which the
American people have come to admire
along with his professional ability and
his splendid, manly character. Most
public men, we believe, really object
TO this sort of thing, but rarely does
one stand up and speak his mind on
the subject as the Admiral has. Most
OF them suffer In silence. The man who
insists on shaking hands with the ''man
OF the hour Is about on a par with
the persistent souvenir collector and
the camera "fend."

learned that they had formed a plot to
mob him. Calling some of the leaders
to one side he attempted in a concilia-

the others to return to work They re-
turned evaslve answers. Looking back
Maj. Logan observed the mob advanc-

He shouted in voice that could have

you don't know what you are doing"
But still the mob advanced.

some years ago. The nearly 1000 EN-
ployes were Italians, Slavs, Huns and
Poles. A demand was made for higher
wages. This was refused and the en-
ployes left the quarries and organized
a strike. Maj, Logan went down to talk
over the matter with the men and, If
possible, induce them to return to work.
All had been drinking and their ugly

1t Is surprising what number Of lit
de things we do without knowing the
reason.
Why, for instance, do widows wear
caps? Perhaps you may say because
they make them look pretty and inter-
esting. But the real reason Is that
when the Romans were in England they
shaved their heads as sign of mourn
Ing. OF course, a woman couldn't let
herself be seen with bald head, so she
made herself a pretty cap. And now,
though the necessity of wearing 1t has
passed away, the cap remains.
Why do we have bows on the left side
Of our hats? In olden times when men
were much in the open air and hats
couldn't be bought for half dollar 1T
was the habit to tie cord around the
crown and let the ends fall on the left
side to be grasped on the arising of a
squal. They fell on the left side so
they might be grasped by the left hand,
the right usually being more usefully
engaged. Later on the ends got to be
tied In a bow, and later still they be-
came useless; yet the bow has remained,
and will probably remain till the next
deluge or something OF that sort.
What Is the meaning of the crosses or
ks on barrel of beer? They signify
degrees Of quality nowadays. But orig
inally they were put on by those ancient
monks as sort Of trade mark. They
were crosses in those days, and meant
a sort Of oath on the cross, sworn by the
manufacturer that his barrel contained
good liquor.
Why are bells tolled for the dead?
This has become so familiar a practice
that funeral without it would appear
unchristian. Yet the reason Is quite
barbarous. Bells were tolled long ago,
when people were being buried, in order
to brighten way the evil spirits who
lived In the air.
Why do fair ladies break a bottle of
wine on the ship they are christening?
Merely another survival Of barbaric
gods it was customary to get some poor
victim when a boat was being launched
and to cut his throat over the Prov, so
that his blood baptized 1t.
Why are dlgnitaries deafened by
salute when they visit foreign port?
1t seems a curious sort Of welcome this
firing off of guns, but 1t seems the Gus
tom arose in very reasonable way.
Originally town or a warship fired off
their guns on the approach of important
and friendly strangers to show that
they had such faith In the visitors
peaceful Intentions they didn't think 1t
necessary to keep their guns loaded.
Why do we sometimes throw shoe
after a bride? The reason Is not very
complimentary. From of old 1t has
been the habit of mothers to chastise
their children with a shoe. Hence the
custom arose OF the father Of bride
making present to the bridegroom Of
shoe, as a sign that 1t was to be his
right to keep her in order.

Many attempts have been made, with
some success, to draw into the coun.
try, for employment upon farms, some
of the labor which goes to waste In
cities. These enterprises have dealt
usually with men; but may not agri.
cultural settlements for women be a so
luton for the perplexities Of some OF
the women who have to earn their liv.
ing, but find the usual employments OF
women overcrowded2 In England an
association has been formed to pro
mote such movement. 1t publishes
newspaper, has established courses of
instruction, and is doing what 1t can
to induce women who cannot get work
In cities to go back to the land" for
support. At Reading College two
houses have been fitted up, which are
occupied by women students, who at
tend classes in horticulture, chemistry,
botany. entomology and dairy work.
This instruction aims to fit women for
three different kinds of work. The
first Is the direction of the home, gar
den or farm. The second Is the work
of general gardeners, or growers of
grapes, mushrooms, tomatoes and Gu
cumbers, the care of dairies and the
raising Of poultry. The third Is the
establishing Of agricultural settle
ments, where groups of women In ad-
Joining cottages, with land attached,
can apply their knowledge to market
gardening. This experiment is very in
teresting. There is nothing unsuitable
In it In fact, market-gardening, bee
keeping, poultry-raising and the grow

to be industries for which women are
naturally adapted. Rightly directed.
they are among the most profitable
connected with the cultivation of the
soil. Surely, If women should enter
them. far healthier and happier lives
would result than follow the struggles
for self-support in our cities.

In noting the growth and conouests
or the English language one is re,
minded of that eloquent description by
Joaquin Miller of the spirit of progress
with King James translation under
Its arm making the circuit Of the globe.
Less than a century ago the English
language was spoken by hardly more
than 100000 people, while today II
Is the one commonly used by more than
2OO,OO0,O0O. Nor has there ever been a
time when the spread of our native
tongue was more rapid or when it had
become more necessary to the COM
mercial transactions of the world than
at present. For centuries the French
language has been the exclusive lam
guage of the courts. To-day there ia
no court in Europe where an American
minister cannot transact business in
English. The English language is be-
ing almost entirely used in the Vene-
zuelan arbitration court at Paris. The
American proposals at the peace con-
ference required no translations ex-
cept for delegates from other than Eu-
ropean countries. English will replace
Spanish in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines and it Is gradually sup
planting all others in South America.
Speech also follows the flag.
