Peanut Plants.

Sew persons are perhaps aware that
q thing Of beauty is common peanut
plant growing singly in six or eight
inch pot and grown indoors during the
colder months" says an up to date for
list in the Washington Star.
"Kept In a warm room or by the
Kitchen stove, a peanut kernel planted
In n pot Of loose, mellow loan, kept
only moderately moist. will soon germi-
nate and grow up into beautiful
plant. 1t is in similar way that the
peanut planters test their seeds every
ter, and the facility with which the
seeds will grow in this way has sug-
gcstcd to many southern flower lovers
the possibility of making the useful
peanut m ornamental plant for the
parlor or sitting room window.
AS the plalit increases in size and
extends its branches over the sides Of
the po, in Il pendent manner there are
few plants of more intrinsic beauty.
The curious habit of the compound
leaves of closing together. like the
leaves of book. on the approach of
night or when Il shower begins to fall
on them is one Of the most interesting
habits of plant life.
Later Oh for tn" peanut Is no
cphemcral wonder, enduring for day
or two only the appearance of the tiny
yellow flowers and putting forth Of the
petlunclrs Oil which the nuts grow i'm
part to this floral rarity II striking and
unique charm all its own. There is
nothing else like it.and florists through
ont thc country might well add the pea
nut plant to their list Of novel and rare
things"

Rattlesnakes were the most danger.
GUS wild animals with which the early
settlers of New Jersey had to contend.
They were very numerous, and their
bite, if not treated properly at once,
was generally fatal. In stories From
American History" Il. X. Stock ton
cites an incident which gives an idea
Of the abundance of rattlers in the new
colony:
In a quarry from which the work
men were engaged in getting out stone
for the foundations of Princeton col
lege 4 wide crack in the rocks was dis.
covered which led downward to large
cavity. and in this cave were found
about 20 bushels of rattlesnake bones.
There was no reason to believe that
this was IL snake cemetery, to which
the creatures retired when they sup
posed they were approaching the end
Of their days, but it was, without
doubt, great rattlcsnake trap.
The narrow, winding passage lead
ing to It must have been very attract
i've to a snake seeking retired quarters
in which to take its long winter nap.
Although the cave at the bottom Of the
great crack was easy enough to get
into, it was so arranged that it was
difficult, il not impossible, for Il snake
to get out Of especially in the spring,
when these creatures are very thin
and weak, having been nourishCd all
winter by their own fat.
Thus year after year the rattlHSnakrS
must have gone down into that cavity
without knowing that they could never
get out again.
