PEANUT-EATERS IN CARS.
A Public Nuisance That Most People
Would Like to See Put Down
and Out.

"If 1 could have my way about il"
said sensitive citizen, according to the
New York Sun, 81 would have law
passed forbidding the eating of pea
nuts in elevated or surface cars, and re-
quiring the guards or conductors to
eject from the cars any person so Of
Tending.
"Men, strange as it may seem, not
children, are the chief offenders in this
direction. You may see grown men
sitting in a car, and, regardless of their
fellow passengers, calmly eating pea
nuts and dropping the shells on the
floor.
ITO many persons the odor of pea
nuts within a confined space, as in a
railroad car, is unpleasant, as the sight
of the litter of shells on the floor must
be to all. But the men peanut eaters
go right on eating, and so disposing of
the shells. Why, have seen a district
messenger boy eating peanuts in car
do better than they in one way any
how. This boy put his empty shells
back into the paper bag from which he
had emptied the peanuts into his peck
ct.
81 have seen men eat apples in an ele-
waited car and throw the core under
the seat. l have seen a man eat an or
ange in an elevaed car and not even
take the trouble to do that with the
orange peel, but just lay that down on
the vacant seat beside him. But such
men as those Iregard as fine gentlemen
as compared with the grown man who
eats peanuts in an elevated car and
drops the shells on the floor. Him re-
gard as
"Well, the peanut eater would have
firmly, even if gently, put off the car"

SHARPENING OF SABERS.
That 1t Il Not a Violation of
the Laws of War.

The question has come before the
war department whether the sharp
ening of sabers is a violation of any
law, or custom of war, or of the Geneva
convention. The inquiry came from
Capt. lie Roy Eltinge, Fifteenth cayal-
ry, now az SLASH, P. l., says a Wash
ington report.
That officer reports a well circulated
opinion among officers that it is not
permissible to grind sabers when fight
ing civilized enemy. The Judge adj
vocate general of the army found
nothing which brings the character of
this inquiry within the exception Of
paragraph SAT Of the army regulations,
and the secretary of war announced
that the sharpening of sabers is not a
violation of the laws of war nor of any
of the conventions which have been
accepted by the United States, either
expressly or by implication for the
government of its military forces when
engaged in actual military operations.
The Geneva convention and its modi-
fication relate to the care and neutrali-
cation Of the sick and wounded in time

THE SLOWLY RECEDING MOON.
Lunar Body May Have Been Born of
Our Earth Millions of
Years Ago.

Looking back through the mists Of
time we see the moon ever drawing
nearer and nearer to the earth. Our
satellite now revolves at a distance
of 100000 miles, but there was a time
when that distance was no more than
100000 miles. There was a time, mil
lions of years ago, no doubt, when
the moon was but 100000 miles away;
and as we look further and further back
we see the moon ever drawing closer
and closer to the earth, until at last
we discern the critical period in earth
moon history when our globe was spin
ming round in a period of about five
or six hours, writes Sir Robert Ball, in
Booklovers' Magazine. The moon, in
stead of revolving where we now find
it, was then actually close to the
earth; earlier still it was, in fact
touching our globe, and the moon and
the earth were revolving each around
the other, like a football and tennis
ball actually fastened together.
1t is impossible to resist taking one
step further. We know that the earth
was, at that early period, a soft molten
mass of matter, spinning round rapid
ly. The speed seems TO have been so
great that rupture took place. a por-
ton Of the molten matter broke away
from the parent globe, and the frag-
ments coalesced into a small globe
That the moon was thus born of our
earth uncounted millions of years ago
is the lesson which mathematics de-
clares it learns from the murmur of
the tides.
Some odd Nicknames.
Nearly every prominent man of title
in England has a nickname and some
Of these cognomens are a trife odd.
For instance, Sir Michael Herbert,
British minister to Washington, is
known as "Mungo," just why does
not seem to be clearly known; the
duke of Westminster is called Bend
Or" which was a Derby winner
owned by his grandfather; the duke
of Marlborough is Sunny" from
one of his many second
titles, and Lord Granville Gordon has
his life answered to the name of
GRANNY"
