Peanut Plants.

Few persons are perhaps, aware
that thing of beauty is a common
peanut plant, growing singly in six
or eight-inch pot and grown indoors
during the colder months.
Kept in a warm room or by the
kitchen stove a peanut kernel planted
in a pot of loose mellow loan, kept on
ly moderately moist. will soon germi-
nate and grow up into beautiful
plant. 1t is in a similar way that
the peanut planters test their seeds
every year, beginning even early in
the winter, and the facility with which
the seeds will grow in this way has
suggested to many Southern flower low
ers the possibility of making the pea
nut an ornament plant for the parlor
or sitting room window.
As the plant increases in size and
extends its branches over the sfaes of
the pot in pendant manner, there are
few plants of more intrinsic beauty.
The curious habit of the compound
leaves Of closing together like the
leaves of "a book on the approach of
night or when a shower begins to fall
on them, is one of the most interesting
habits of plant life.
Later on, for tine peanut is no ephe.
neral wonder. enduring for a day or
two only, tho appearance of the tiny
yellow flowers and putting forth of the
peduncles on which the nuts grow I'M
parts to this floral rarily a striking
and unique charm all it's own. There
is nothing else like il, and florists
throughout the country might well add
the peanut plant TO their list of novel
and rare things"

BURCO MEN
Cards Describing Ways Of Confidence Men
Posted In Public Places.

San Francisco.-Disgu gusted by the i'll
success of his attempts to convict bun
co men in the police courts, Captain of
Detectives Seymour has posted the fol-
lowing card:
Strangers are here notified to be-
ware of bunco steerers, shortoard play
ers end confidence men. These men
infest the corridors of hotels, the vi
cinity of railroad stations and the hotel
winerooms. They obtain from hotel
registers the names of guests and
places from which they come. meet
them on the street, and. with cordial
good morning or good evening, and
calling them by name, say: I knew
you at mentioning the place where
they are from) The man is only too
ready to greet person who claims to
have known him at his home. Then
follows e friendly drink and an invi-
tation to take a walk. AID finally he
is ushered into the back door of sal
oon, where game of cards or dice Is
in progress. On the pretense to pass
the time. the steerer takes a hand. be
it cards or dice, and wins some money.
He then asks the stranger to play, Of
ten dividing his winnings with him as
an inducement. The invitation is rare
ly refused. After little time he is
dealt a hand at cards; he then finds
that his opponent has hand that
beats him. If it be dice game, he Is.
also invited to participate, which he
does, resulting in the loss of his mon-
ey, probably all that he has in the
world. Shun all strangers who ap-
proach, insist and claim to know you
If you do not, you may repent it,"

CHILDREN AND CASH
Should Boys and Girls In School Have
Spending Money?

An investigation which by many will
be regarded al. singular was conducted
recently in a large school in st. Paul.
1t had for its purpose to determine in
general the notion which children have
of the practical uses of money.
A List of questions was furnished by
the professor, which the children an
swered In writing, as imam ordinary ex-
animation. The questions Sought to
determine the ch4lds estimate of mon
ey which he he'd acquired in three diff
ferent ways, namely, by gift, suggest
ing Lartial restraint as to spending;
by earning, the most difficult means of
acquiring and by finding, by which he
acquired with least difficulty. To these
ends the following questions were
clsked:
If you are given money. about how
much each week?"
IF you earn money, about how much
each week."
"If you ever found money, what did
you do with it?'
IF you had 81 to spend as you liked,
what would you buy?"
1t was found THAT of the 1868 children
reporting, sixty-two per cent. earned.
or were given money, or both, i'm am-
cunts ranging from five cents ito 81 per
week. OF those who thus received
money tifty-seven per cent. made use
ful disposition of it, and of the 256
children who had found money twen-
sy-eight per cent. put it to useful pur-
poses A noteworthy characteristic of
the answers to the question relative to
finling money was that siXty-four per
cent. of those who had done SO express
ed having made attempt to restore it to
the loser, and that eighty-two per cent.
of these who had not found money
stated that If they should do so they
would try to find the owner" or put
in the paper" if large amount, or
give it to the principal or teacher to be
restored to the Cwner. The professor

OF the 967 children who gave spec
life answers as to what they would do
with a dollar if allowed to spend it as
they pleased, SIXTY two per cent. would
invest it in useful things, such as cloth

buy articles not useful; three per cent.
would use it for benevolent purposes.

Grange, Belmont, shall ever cherish fond
remembrance of our brother, and regret his
removal from our number. While we mourn
| the severance of another link in the frater-
nal chain, we believe that a brighter and more
| glorious life has began with our brother
| an eternal life in our heavenly Grange,
where the fraternal ties are never broken;
where the songs of harvest-time gladden.,
and where all is joy and happiness.
Resolved, That we trust his famly's
! hearts may be cheered in their lonely hours
by the thought that in our fraternity they
will ever find friends, and when done with
earth and its cares they will again be united
| with that loving band where death is I'M
| known.
| Resolved, That in the death of our brother
his family has lost a devoted husband and
father, and our fraternity a loved and
worthy member.
Dear brother, he has gone to rest,
| His Sutferings now are Ger
| And we should not mourn for him
He has only gone before.
Though his face be missed forever,
| And his voice forever gone
Some day we hope to meet him
On the happy shore beyond
He has now crown of glory,
And happy home above;
He has left his old home
And his dear ones he loved.
In his happy home he's resting
! From this sinful world he's gone
Where the sun shines out in glory
We shall meet him in the morn.
Resolved, That in remembrance of our de-
ceased brother our charter be draped in
mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That copy of these resou-
lions be sent to the bereaved family, one
entered on the records of our grange, and
one sent to The Republican Journal and
Bangor Commercial for publication.
