The Flipinos are showing themselves
worthy of residence in New York. They
have caught the get-rich-quick fever.
Four-fifths of the population of Le-
panto- Bontoc province. in Northern
Luzon, is said to be engaged in the
making Of counterfeit money. The ma
tives take the metal from mines and
refine and stamp it-a sort Of free
coinage scheme. They hold they have
as much right to make coins out of
their own metal as they have to make
plows or knives out of their own metal.
A detachment of troops has been sent
to teach them that coinage is purely
a government function and privilege.
The army mule TO go! We do not
believe it, Notwithstanding the predic-
ton of Consul General Guenther at
Frankfort, Germany, to that effect. He
says the "zebrula." a cross between
the horse and the zebra, is destined to
take the place of the mule, on account
of the hardness of its hoofs. its liveli-
ness and its intelligence. But we take
little stock in the prediction. The army
mule, as well as the plantation mule,
has indicated his right to exist. He is
a fixture among our institutions, OF
both war and peace, and he is not to
be displaced by any mongrel that wears
stripes.

PEANUTS OF VIRGINIA.
Great Crop of Tidewater Counties t @4 ola DOmfnaon--Habfts
 of the Cooler.

The peanut counties of Virginia are the tidewater ones of Surry, Isle of Wight. Nansemond and Southampton; and these four counties probably pro- huce more peanuts than any other area pf equal size in the world, says the Southern Workman. Tn Smithfleld, Isle of Wight county-an historic little town. remote from the railway-is to be found the largest peanut factory in existence owned by one company, and the head of the firm, MT. P. D. Gwaltney. is known Rs the peanut king of the world" The yearly output of this establishment averages 350,000 bags of peanuts, valued at $1 100000. They are shipped by boat to Norfolk, which is the largest market for this product in the United States. This country furnishes about 100 ,000,- 900 pounds of peanuts yearly, which Is one-edxth of the entire crop of the world. Small quantities of peanuts are raised in number of other counties in Virginia, and the industry has attained consider able importance in, North and South Car olina and in east Tennessee.
 The home of the peanut or ground pea (also often called pindar and goo ber) is believed to be Brazil, although 1t very soon spread to Africa, China, Ja- pan and India, and was recognized as 8 valuable agricultural product in these countries long before 1t was cultivated on large scale in its native soil, which was not until the year 1870. Tn the old world, however, 1t has always been planted and harvested for the sake of the oil that 1t yields; this Is said to rival olive oil in quality and to be used for the same purposes. The nuts raised in the east are far richer in oil than the American varieties.
 The most popular of the American peo- nuts is the Virginia running variety. :" It Is leguminous plant having leaves resembling those of the alfalfa, but borne on wide spreading branches which grow fiat on the ground. The blossom is bright yellow and is formed at the end of long tube having the ovary at its base. After the flower has fallen it's stalk e1ongates and bends downward, push ing its way several inches into the ground. Here the ovary eniarges and de velops into the well-known pod. The pod and nut of the Virginia variety are twice as large as those of the North Car olfna or African peanut. The Spanish nuts, usually sold only after being shelled and salted. are still smaller, but of excellent flavor Tennessee has two

DEER AND SLEEP.
Foresters Say Animals Sleep About Five Hours in Daytime-Not
 at All at Night.

Deer reverse the apparent order of na- ture, for they sleep in the daytime and feed at night, says the Scottish Field. How much sleep they do take is 8 mat ter of contention, even among experi- enced stalkers-some say little, others much. On the whole, we are inclined to agree with the former, for it has to be remembered that they chew the cud when lying down. Two most expe- rienced and observant foresters, the one in Argyllshire, the other in Aberdeen shire, thus gave their opinions: Deer sleep or rest from about ten or eleven a. m. to four D. m.;" Deer sleep from noon to five D. m"
 It Is not uncommon occurrence to come on deer asleep; stalker in the Black mount had the rare experience of coming upon 8 parcel of seven stags, all sound asleep. A herd was seen to move in Genfeshie, but one stag remained be- hind, lying motionless. On careful ap- proach he was found to be asleep. Per hays, however, the oldest occurrence of this nature happened in Braemore, when a stalking party, on going up to the stag which had just been. shot, found a. three-year-old close to it fast asleep. In fact, 1t is by no means rare to get within a yard or two of sleeping deer.

 The number of houses burned was 493. There being very few inhabitants in the city at the time, and many of those were afraid to venture at night in the streets for fear of being taken up as suspicious person, MT. White, decent citizen and house carpenter, rather too violent loyalist, and latterly had ad- dicted himself to liquor. was on the night of the fire hanged on 6 tavern sign post at the corner of Cherry and Roose- welt streets. Several of the citizens were sent to the provost guard for examina- tion and some of them remained there two or three days, until they could give satisfactory evidence of their loyalty
 Hugh Gain, in his Universal Regis ter" for the year 1717. says: New York is about mile and half in length and half mile broad, containing before the fires on September 21 ire, and August 3, TITS, about 4,200 houses and 3O,00O inhabitants
 The Sons of Liberty were accused by the British of being the incendiaries and number of them were thrust into the flames in revenge for the supposed outrage. Several citizens were also ar rested and imprisoned, but the charge ot being accessories was not sustained and they were released. So great was the distress of the inhabitants "that they tackled sheets of canvas to the rem nanfc of a n4o chimneys, thus forming city of tents in which they bivouacked"
 The fire. occurred at the time when Howe's troops were stretched in a cor don across the island, in readiness to fall upon the army of Washington, en- camped upon the heights on the opposite side of Harlem Plains, Washington oc- cupying as headquarters the Roger Mor- ris house, which overlooks Harlem a lit tie below High Bridge and is now known as the Jumel mansion The loyalist owner of the property, Col. Morris, had married the beautiful Mary Phillipse. whom Washington at one time wooed in vain. In this house battles were planned, consultations were held with chiefs of Indian tribes land secret in- structions were issued to the spy of the neutral ground After the revolution the estate was confscated and was then purchased by John Jacob Astor, who sold it to Stephen Jumel After Jumel'a death his widow married Aaron Burr but he left her shortly after and sought se- iclusion on Staten island.

oLD-TIME FIRE IN GOTHAM.
sSMmmdreds of Structures Burned Over the Heads of British Troops
 in 1T78.

September 21, 1776, a great ire be- san in New York in small wooden house on the wharf near the Whitehall ~NIip, says the New York Tribune. The 4lre began late at night. There being but Q very few inhabitants in the city, in 6 short time it ragged tremendously. 1t burned all the houses on the east side Apf Whitehall slip and the west side of Broad street. Aprovidential and happy circumstance occurred at this time; the swind was then southwesterly. About two o'clock that morning the wind Veered to the southwest. This carried the flames of the fire to the northwest ward and burned both sides of Beaver street to the east side of Broadway. then crossed Broadway to Beaver lane, and, burning all the houses on both sides of Broadway, with some few houses in New street to Rector street, and to John Harrison, Esq.'s, three gtOry brick house, which house stopped the fire on the east side of Broadway; from thence 1t continued burning all the houses in Lunmber street and those in the rear of the houses on the west side of Broadway to St Paul's church, then continued burning the houses on both sides of Partition street and all the houses in the rear 4again) of the west side of Broadway to Alle North river. The fire did not stop until it got into Mortkile street, now Barclay street The college yard and the vacant ground in the rear of the same put an end to this awful and tremendous Ire.

On the 6mithfield farms and others in eastern Virginia the seed is pat into the ground early in May. the kernels being planted with the skins on; two bushels of nuts in the pod are required to SOW one acre. The Virginia running variety is usually planted in rows from two and half to three feet apart, the plants in the rows having an average distance of fs to 1P inches. To insure a large yield thorough cultivation is necessary and,by the last of July the fields are covered with delicate green leaves and yellow blossoms.

ON BEAUTIFUL CAPRI
The Charming Little Island in the ' a,. Gulf of Naples.
1t Is One of the Picturesque Spots ot Europe Much Sought After by Tourists-Some Of Its
 Attractions.

Few tourists doing Europe pass beautiful Capri by. The little island lying at the mouth of the Gulf of Ma ral beauty and romance to the searcher after that which is interesting and pie turesque. Capri has, in times past, been 8 favorite winter resort for 8 select few, but in recent years it's attractions have been so advertised that 1t is now overrun with tourists, much to the dis satisfaction of the, old-timers.
 Among these old-timers is 8 consid- erable Germany colony, of which Herr Krupp was distinguished member previous to his death, and to this col ony, and more especially to its leader, Herr Krupp, is the world indebted for the many paths and pleasant driveways that have brought the beauties of the island and it's romantic spots within easy access. To the increasing popu- 1arity may also be attributed the in crease in accommodations for travellers. But few years ago the tourist who included Capri in his list of places to visit found there but the scantest ac- commodations, and these of but poor quality Now, however, thanks to the increased number of visitors, the ho- tels are connections and comfortable, affording attractive stopping places for either a few days or a considerable time at but small expense.
 Because of the comparative cheap ness of living at Capri considerable number of Americans of the kind who travel for pleasure rather than because 1t is fashionable, find it an inviting place to spend winter Neatly fur nished cottages may be had for from $25 to $30 per month, or for those who prefer it hotel rates are so low as to make housekeeping unnecessary as a matter of economy. These low rates make the island society rather cosmo- politan, feature not despised by the pleasure seeker.
 To, describe the 1oveliness of this enchanting spot would indeed be to paint the lily fair It's rocky and pie turesque outline, it's towering precipi- tous cliffs, it's white walled, palm shaded villages, and it's seemingly magical grottoes justly entitle it to the name of 'sthe loveliest pearl in Naples crown" Few travellers to that city omit to pay at least a flying visit to Capri.
 The sights of Capri are more nu- merous than one would expect In such limited area The most celebrated is, of course, the marvellous Blue Grot- to, which has so often been described

that we need do no more than refer to it here. As is the case with most is- lands, the finest scenery is the coast make the tour of the island in row. boat, which takes about four hours and costs about ten francs. This trip will include visits to the Blue Grotto and to the less known but almost equally beautiful grotte Verde and Rossa. Oth- CT fine objects of natural interest are the Arco Naturale, the Grotto Nitro mania, and the magnificent cliff, sur- mounted by the ruins of the villa in which Emperor Tiberius passed his declining years, and from which he is said to have cast his victims into the waves below. This villa should also be visited on foot if only for the iunsur- passed view which it affords of the gulfs of Naples and Salerno and of the snow-clad Apennines beyond. There is fine old ruined castle, named after Barbarossa, which deserves a visit; and another fine view Is to be obtained from the summit of Monte Solaro, the highest point of the island.
 The towns consist of the pictur- esque oriental-looking villages of Ca- pri and Anacapri. Visitors from Ma pies are landed at the Marina, where the picturesquely got-up natives are al- ways ready to dance the tarantella, dive for coins, or turn an honest penny in any way that may please the travel er's fancy. The people are, however, a really interesting race, noted for their fine Greek features, and appear to the best advantage, from the spectacular point of view, on the occasion of one of their numerous festivals, particular 1y that of San Costanzo, the patron saint of the island. The Capriotes are said to be becoming less and less sim pie and unsophist1cated every year, but the scenic glories of this Mediterran- can fairyland can never depart, and after 8 single visit one can understand the fascination which they exercised over the English artist who left Naples one morning, intending to spend the afternoon in Capri, and has remained there ever since. And that morning was seven years ago.

DEER IN CONNECTICUT.
They Are Becom1n@ Almost as Am- noyfng as the Rabbits fin
 Amstral1a.

Deer are becoming almost as much of an annoy ance to the farmers of Connec- ttcut as are the rabbits to those of Aus tralia, with this difference. that in the latter country they can employ means of selt-protection to any limit they see fit, says the Boston Transcript. But in Connecticut, if g farmer sees herd of deer feeding on his corn or trampling his oats or browsing upon his apple or peach trees, he can only use moral sua- sion.
 Were he to shoot an alien COW thus en- gagged, he could probably settle for $30 or $40, or whatever the market price of tho beast might be; but if he shoots deer. it means $100 fine or 30 days in jail, or both. The deer seem to have caught on to the situation. and highly appre- ciate 1t. The close season is continuous there until June. 1911. at the end of which time.. unless their present immu- pitiee are withdrawn, they would prob ably be more numerous than cattle They are gentle and conf1dfng creatures, and of course they must eat At the same time, the situation is becoming form idabie, and it Is receiving considerable discussion by the press Of the state, though even that is hard put to 1t to suggest practical remedy.
 The New London Day observes, with reference to the suggestion that there should be an open season, during which they might be hunted: Deer may be nuisance. they may destroy some prop srty, but they are graceful and beautiful animals, and they won't hurt the least living thing. As much cannot be said of the average fool with 6 gun, who fam .ciee he Is deer hunter He may now and then shoot deer. but he Is much more likely to put one of his craxy bul- let's through the smal1 boy gathering chestnuts, or through feIlow-huntsr.

Proposed Timber Reserve.

There Is n scheme on foot to make tim
Der reserve of the top Of the range from the
Wyoming line to the Gore range. As ex-
planned by the government official who was
here recently, the line would run at an alti-
tude OF 5000 feet, 30 that no farming land
would be included.
The advantage would come in having
range riders to patrol the section to guard
against fire. There is probably little mis-
apprehension In regard to the regulations
concerning timber reserves. Settlers nre al
lowed to cut timber for fuel or buildings,
saw mills may buy timber by paying stump
age value, mineral may be taken as on open
government land md stock may be ranged
there, but not In quantities suflcient to kill
of the vegetation. 1t is deep question
and should DO given careful consideration,
for 1t Will not be established II the settlers
are antagonistic. Along with many more,
the Pilot has been prejudiced against tim
ber reserves, but that department Of the
government is now being systsnized and
the regulations are much more liberal than
formerly.
No one denies the advantage Of preserving
the timber already here, or preventing fires
where new timber is beginning to grow.
All Of these matters will be discussed pretty
thoroughly by the people before any action
