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
tihguished, as they have individual
characteristics. The next time you
eat a 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 its skin is
Of decidedly dark red, so you cannot
mistake that, while the Spanish nut
is 80 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.

Bachelors Kitchen.

The children sit in a row, with the
exception of one, who goes in success
sion to each child and asks him what
he will give to the. bachelors kitchen.
Each answers what he pleases, as a
saucepan, mouse trap, etc.
When all have replied, the question
e- returns to the first child and puts
all sorts Of questions, which must be
answered by the article which this
player before gave to the kitchen, and
by no other word
For instance, he asks. What do you
wear on your head?"
Mouse trap"
The object is to make the answerer
laugh, and ne is asked number OF
times. until he either laughs or is
given up as a hard subject The ques
toner then passes to the next child
and SO on through the whole row.
Those who laugh or add any Other
word in their answer must pay for

way as in any ether game.

Chinese Boys Queue.

When the Chinese boy is old enough
he grows queue. This event in the
Chinese boys life does what the first
pair Of trousers does to the American
boy-changes him from baby to
boy. The queue has many uses. In
some Of the games played by The
Chinese boys the queue is used in
variety of ways. In geometry it is
used 10 strike an arc or draw a circle.
The 1aborer spreads a towel over his
head. wraps his queue around it and
makes himself a hat Cart drivers
whip their mules and beggars scare
away dogs with their queues When
a Chinese father takes his little son
out for a walk he takes hold, not Of
the boys hand. but his queue. Some
times the child follows the father, and
lest he should get lost. the father
gives him his queue to mold, and when
his little boy wants to play horse their
queues are always ready to be used
for reins

Great Open Air Sunday School.

Great Open Air Sunday School.
If you should be asked where the
largest Sunday school in the world is
could you give the answer?
1t is in England, on a high hill in
the thickly populated town of Stock
port. Think OF a Sunday school with
5000 pupils right now, and a record
Of over 100000 pupils who have been
thoroughly brought up in the Scrip
lures within its walls during the 100
years since its organization.
over 5000 enthusiastic teachers
have given many years of their lives
to the services of this Sunday school.
What a glorious Sunday school it
must be to call forth such enthusiasm
from men and women and childrenl
Why, it has a graduate, man
named Weathered, who now lives in
New York, who goes back to Stockport
every summer, rain or shine, to attend
the annual anniversary celebration OF
the Sunday school. He is 81 years old
now and still every summer he goes
over to the old Sunday school, such
is his love for it.
Years ago, before Stockport had got
day schools, reading and writing used
to be taught as well as the Bible. but
now, of course. reading does not have
to be taught by the Sunday school.
However, they still retain the custom
OF having their lessons written, be-
cause they find that the boys and
girls learn much more thoroughly in
that way

about half an inch of the loop end
down a. right angle, and then bend
the tip Of this UP again to form hook,
and bend the ends of the hairpin twice
at right angles. spread the bent parts
