Peanuts were first grown to any ex-
tent in Srginia, hence the name Vir-
ginia peanuts. Later on, owing to the
adaptabilty of the soil and the profit
ableness of the crop, eastern North
Carolina went largely into the raising
of peanuts, and from this source a
very large proportion of the supply of
Virginia peanuts Is obtained.

ilritability or uneasiness or unre-

displays of temper. Serenity is the

times when both the social and divine
law warrant display of passion. The
man who does not kindle when he
sees a brute torturing a child, or
striking a woman, is unworthy of his
manhood. Only the occasion must
be commensurate with the display.
The great trouble with most of us Is
that by reason of false perspective
we magnify trifles out of all relation
to their Importance and keep our.
selves in state of constant irritable
ity or disturbance. We spend so much
emotion on broken crockery that we
exhaust ourselves for any exercise of
righteous anger and keep ourselves
constantly unhappy. There are few
wrongs that anyone can do us so Sc
rious as breaking our peace OF mind.
1t is the part of wisdom for US to
guard that.

GREATEST CRIME KNOWN IN LAW-FEW
PERSONS INDICTED FOR IT IN
MODERN TIMES.

High treason the crime for which the Aus
tralian born journalist, Arthur Lynch. who
commanded the Second Irish Corps Of the BoeT
army in the course of the recent war in South
Africa has just been indicted by the grand
Jury in London bears name so redolent of
medieval times. when people convicted thereof
were subjected to the most appalling of punish
ments thai many of the readers Of The Tribune
will be disposed to regard the proceedings
against the imprisoned member of Parlia-
rnent for Galway as a piece of Honarchical an
achronism which would not be tolerated for one
moment in this great and glorious republic Yet
the United States has this day in its code of
laws statutes dealing with high treason analo-
gous to those of Great Britain. and under the
terms of which Colonel Arthur Lynch could
have been indicted in American courts of law
had he been citizen of the United States in
stead of d British subject, and had he borne
arms against Uncle Sam instead of against
John Bull. The punishment for high treason in
the United States is, according To the act of
1862, either death Imprisonment at hard
labor for a period of not less than five years, a
fine of not less than $4,000 and perpetual
disability from holding any office under the
United States. Treason against the latter can
not OF course, be dealt with by any but fed

making incision in the side Of the tail. About
two quarts of blood should be taken out, when
the emorrhage should be stopped by the ap-
pIication of a clean bandage
Azoturia, paralysis, shows itself first in a
horse in a heavy sweat around the face and
neck. and a staggering gait horse with these
symptoms should be forced to lie down at once
he should not be suffered to move a step; a
blanket should be laid over his loins and an am
bulance should be sent for Treated thus, a
paralyzed horse has a good chance of recovery;
but if he is urged onward after the appearance
of the first symptoms-if an attempt is made to
get him home to the stabIe-the chance is that
he will die.
Broken knee can be cured If the horse is not
walked. Broken knee is a laceration accom-
panied by breaking of the sac of joint fluid;
IT can be told by the oozing forth of this yellow
ish fluid If the knee is washed free of dirt
and gravel with clean absorbent cotton-never
q dirty sponge a dirty rag-and if the horse
is kept quite still till the surgeons arrival, it
will recover fully
Burns and scalds upon animals should not be
washed. They should be protected from the
air. from water and from rritants. Excellent
to upon them are linseed oil and lime water

When horse is choking to death the layman
can by the performance of tracheotomy, save its
life. The choking is due to the fact that the OBJ
struction is across its windpipe The remedy is
to make, with a clean, sharp knife. incison
two inches long In the middle of the throat. at
the end of the neck's first third. This incison,
which will cut blood vessels. will open up the
windpipe. and if the fingers put in the cut
to hold its lips apart the horse will breathe
freely and comfortably till the surgeons arrival.

stately halls which were completed several
months ago. are beautiful in themselves, but
they have been made more by the artistic ar
rangenent of the works of from other parts
of the museum which have never been to
such good advantage. In the main hall of the
wing are many of the best pieces of statu-
airy in the possession of the institution, and
of the notable pieces from the CesnoIa

the beautiful collections of ceramics, musical in

The Bishop jadeS and the Morgan china are also
there. Although much still remains to be done

DIR. McGee Of the Bureau cf Ameri-

much more than can be given here) on
the matter Of the origins of human
races: No idea is more firmly fixed
N the mind of the average man than
hat all mankind sprang from a single
pair and hence came up in a single
place. Nor is the prevalence OF the
dea surprising; engondered by the as
iociatons of family life. fostered by
honorable regard for worthy ancos-
ors and nourished by tradition. 1t
grows into a natural intuition; and
when intensified by the teachings Of
biology it natures into a postulate
20 strong as to be seldom questioned.
\ ct once the question Is raised the
lostulate is seen to be gratuitous In
he present state of knowledge il may
lot be affirmed or denied with conf
ienco; but it must be recognized that
he idea of monogenesis is not sup
lorted by a single observation In the
lomain of anthropology and is opposed
10 the great body of observations on
human development The notion Of
monogenesis is pure assumption im-
ported into anthropology from other
realms of thought The testimony is
amply sufficient to compel the open
minded anthropologist to tolerate tk3

it as an alternative with that Of mono
genesis, so gratuitously assumed.

POEM BY SAPPHo.
Manuscript Dates from sixth or Perhaps
the seventh Century

the Seventh Century.
DR.. Schubart, the assistant director
OF the Psychological department of the
Royal Museum in Berlin. has made an
important discovery. In examining
fragments of old books and manu-
scripts recently acquired by the mu-
scum he found torn and badly
crumpled piece of parchment which
proved to be a fragment of a parch-
ment roll containing poems from the
NTH book of Sappho. The manuscript
dates from the sixth or perhaps the
seventh century, which is not surpris-
ing, as it is known that many of Sap
pho's poems had been preserved until
that time. 1t is generally believed that
the poems were lost during the Ara
bian invasion of Europe.
The fragment, given in free transla-
ton, but preserving the meter, reads
as follows:
When she now.
Among Lydia's women appears,
Tis like unto the full moon
Rising serenely in the evening sky.
1t outshines
The most brilliant stars: it casts
Over the mirror-like sea
And meadows. in flowers clad,
Magic light.
Nature is bedecked with dew:
Sparkling are the roses.
Dainty flowers, and bushy herbs"

And so the rest of the furniture
was sold and Edith returned to her
people. and Burke took just enough
to buy an emigrant ticket west.
For the first two years he worked
as a cowboy on an exposed ranch,
rounding up cattle and chasing In
dians and being chased by them in
return, having encounters with wild
beasts and wilder men, and spending
long weeks and months out on the
open prairies with nothing but wild
nature ard his own thoughts. He
grew bronzed and bearded and his eyes
and brain became alert and discrimi-
mating from his perilous surroundings.
He lost his difiident manner, and life
among the unruly cattle made his
voice strong and decisive.
The third year he took the money
he mad saved and bought few head
of cattle, and began ranching it on his
own account. He was almost continu-
ally in the saddle now, protecting and
caring for his stock and looking for
fresh grazing lands. Up under the
side of a mountain he built small
cabin; another year he would enlarge
it. -perhaps-send for Edith.
Then came the long, terrible winter
which devastated the whole Northwest.
Cattle were lost by the hundreds of
thousands, and Burke was among the
first to suffer. His grazing land was
peculiarly exposed, and the first heavy
snowfall completely bIockaded the lit
tie valley from the outside world At
first he was dazed by the blow-two
years lost, and Edith back yonder

In anticipation of the long winter
evenings he had brought paper and
ink, and now, in his despair, he turned
to them for forgetfulness. At first he
worked feverishly but as he wrote his
brain became clearer and gradually
focused itself upon one central idea
At the end of a week he destroyed
what he had written, and commenced
again, writing slowly and carefully,
and becoming more and more interest
ed as he proceeded.
Fortunately he had plenty of pro-
visions, and now and then was able to
capture small game near the cabin.
Snow succeeded snow and blizzards
followed close in the wake OF each
other. 1t was April before he could
leave the valley, but by that time the
novel was finished.
He did not expect much from 1t when
he sent it off; his old experience pre-
cluded that. But he knew the novel
was good, and IL some publisher would
assume the risk of bringing it out he
would be satisfied-nay, more than sat
sfed, for Edith would be pleased.
