Peanut Plants.

Few persons are perhaps aware that
q thing of beauty is a common peanut
plant growing singly in six CT 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, peanut kernel planted
in a pot of loose, mellow loan, kept
only moderately moist, will Koon germi-
nate and grow up into a beautiful
plant. 1t is in a similar way that the
peanut planters test their seeds every
year, beginning even early in the win
ter, and the facility with which the
seeds will grow in this way has sug-
gested to many southern flower lovers
the possibility of making the useful
peanut an ornamental plant for the
parlor or sitting room window.
''As the plant increases in size and
extends its branches over the sides of
the pot in pendent manner, there are
few plants of more intrinsic beauty.
The curious habit of the compound
leaves of closing together, like the
leaves of n book, on the approach of
night or when q shower begins to fall
on them is one Of the most interesting
habits OF plant life.
Later on-fOr the peanut is no
ephemeral wonder, enduring for day
or two only-the appearance of the tiny
yellow flowers and putting forth of the
peduncles on which the nuts grow i'm.
part to this floral rarity striking and
unique charm all its own. There is
nothing else like it, aud florists through.
out the country might well add the pea
nut plant to their list of novel and rare
things"

Called His Papa Down.

Little Willy is a bright boy and
saucy boy. His apt answers have often
turned away wrath and often turned it
upon him strongly. The other day his
father was reprimanding him for some
misdeed. and Willy was answering very
saucily.
The father became very angry and,
seizing the youngster by the collar,
said: See here. young man, you must
not talk like that to me. | never gave
my father impudence when 1 was a
boy"
Willy was not feazed at all. With a
cherubic smile he looked into papa's
eyes and said. But, papa, maybe your
father didn't need it." Twas all off.
Willy escaped punishment, while papa
retired to another room.--Albany Joiy.

appearance of a man of so.
He was not only a successful
miner, but at the time of his death
his interests in land and cattle in
Nevada were large and he personally
attended 10 his business until old
age brought with it his last illness.
Wherever Mr.. Wenban was known

Wednesday night after the ad-

a pleasant surprise was awaiting
them. The Rebekah's presented
themselves at the door for admis-
sion but the brothers could not see
it that way and refused to let them
enter until the Sisters had made
known their mission. When it had
been demonstrated what was in
store for them they were invited
to enter, all loaded down with many
dishes Of delicacies. The big eat
was all the most exacting epicure
could desire and the brothers stood
the surprise good naturally and all
present had a pleasant time. 1t
was not until a late hour that all
departed for their homes and
sought the welcome of Morpheus.
