ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Wanamaker's Branch Here Will Not
be as Large as Rumored.

Additional information secured yester-
day in regard to John Wanamaker the
New York and Philadelphia merchant,
entering the south with a branch in Bir-
mingham indicates that the first rumors
were a little exaggerated. The later in
formation shows that within short
while several of the departments of Mr.
Wanamaker's stores in the east will be
represented in Birmingham in limited
degree, and permitting the natural growth
of success to measure the size of the
branch in the future.

Where Torpedoes Fail.

A remarkable fact about this in.
genious and now most accurate
weapon is that down to the present
war there had been no instance of a
ship under way being struck by tor
pedo. All it's victims had been caught
at anchor or were otherwise station
airy. And, from the best information
available, the same thing has hap
pened between Russia and Japan. Now
the question arises: If the torpedo
boat, which has power to catch the
hare, cannot cook him, how is the
cooking to be done by the submarine
which can neither see him nor catch
him? The design certainly is to use
the submarine against ships under
way to replace the torpedo boat, which
cannot act in daylight. And it is an
open question, which experience alone
can decide. whether it will be easier
for a submarine to catch the hare by
day than it has hitherto proved for the
torpedo boat to catch him by night,
Certainly enthusiasts will be by no
means satisfied If the submarine
proves capable merely of attack on
ships at anchor.-London Review.

Cured Of the terrible Rheumatic

years, Mr.. Richard r. Greenhon, an
old and respected resident of this

remedy that cured him, Dodd's Kid

says. II would have to sit or lie

five or six weeks.
Il tried different doctors medicines,
but they were all no good. Then

relief. BY the time I had taken four.

ginia, North Carolina and Tennessee.
The seed planted is the meat or kerr
mel, and care is taken not to break
the skins. The plant grows like vine,
and the nuts hang on it like pea pods
A single vine will, 1t is estimated, pro-
duce about 100 nuts if it is of the
average good condition. At this rate
the yield per acre is forty bushels.
Three varieties of these nuts are
grown here-the white, the red and
the Spanish. They are readily dis.
tinguished, as they have individual
characteristics. The next time you
eat peanut with two kernels very
white, with pink skins, you will know
it is of the white variety. The shell
Of the red nut sometimes holds three
or four dark kernels, and it's skin is
of decidedly dark red, so you cannot
mistake that. while the Spanish, nut
is SO much smaller, with lighter skin
than both of the others, that it will
not be mistaken for either. Nearly
100000 bushels of peanuts are used
in this country every year.
