Peanut Plants.

Few persons are perhaps aware that
thing Of beauty is common peanut
plant growing singly in a six or eight
inch pot and grown indoors during the
colder months" says an up to date flor
list in the Washington Star.
Kept in warm room or by the
kitchen stove. a peanut kernel planted
In pot of loose, mellow loam kept
only moderately moist, will soon germi-
nate and grow up into q beautiful
plant. 1t is in 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
parior 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 4 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 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 it's own There is
nothing else like it, and florists through
out the country might well add the pea
nut plant to their list Of novel and rare
things

The Dream of the Key.

Some small article had been LOST
forget now what, let US say a key-be-
longing to one Of two sisters who were
travelling together. 1t could nowhere
be found. But one night one of the Sis
tiers dreamed that she saw the kew in
the pocket of her travelling bag. She
told this dream on waking to the other
And have you looked in the pocketw
the sister asked. mo, l have not"
said she, "for the very good reason that
there is no pocket in my travelling
bag" "We!l," said the other, ''there is
a pocket in mine. l will just have a
look there on the chance" And there
the key was found.
The inference is that the dreamer
had seen with the eye of sense, though
not with the eye of observation, the
key put into the pocket Even when the
key was so found she had no recollec-
ton OF seeing it placed there, but the
brain had unconsciously recorded the
sensation. In course Of sleep it had
stumbled on that record, and by good
luck the sleeper on awaking CHANGED
to remember the mental operation that
had taken place during sleep. 1t is a
singular and almost alarming reflection
that our brains are stored with count
less such records Of which we know
nothing, nor ever shall know unless the
association Of ideas or some peculiar
mental state brings them to our notice.

One of the most pleasing enter
tainments of the lecture course was
given Monday evening by Miss Jen-
ME Shoemaker in the opera house
to large audience. Most all of
them were happily disappointed
for they expected but the usual en-
tertainnent and were given one
that far surpassed the ordinary.
Miss Shoemaker is rare genius.
Her dialect stories are given with al
most native exactness and her ia
clal expression is almost perfect.
Her short stories are to the point
and has not an old one on the list
Irish, French darkie or whatever she
attempted was we'll done. Her selec
tions from Macbeth showed a rare
power in tragedic, but her selection
from the arena scene in Quo Vadis
was one of the finest things poss-
IDLE to describe. The audience held
ITS breath the entire selection. 1t
was simply grand and undescrib
able. Her posing and work in del
sarte showed her to be perfect
master ofthe art Supple graceful she
looked like figure in wax at times
and the graceful movements of her
arms seemed beyond human power
to do. Her audience was more than
pleased and many speak of her re-
turn next year. There is but one
OF the course lett, Rev. Father Nu-
gent, and he will be master Of ora
tory that none can afford to miss.
