SECRETS IN PEANUTS
KNOWN TO VENDORS

Some peanuts that are bought ready
roasted are Of light yellow color.
Others, however, are pronounced bru-
nettes. There is reason for this.
The great American peanut will re-
main crisp only day or two after
roasting and in damp weather only
a few hours. It absorbs moisture rap.
idly, so that two days after roasting
the finest nuts lose their crispness
and are to all intents and purposes as
though they had never been cooked
The Italian and Greek peanut men
freshen up their stocks by roasting
again and reroasting. When the proc
ess has been repeated three or four
times, though, the peanut begins to
take on tawny hue, which is con-
sidered Objectionable by those who
have stands in the better parts of
town. These much roasted COOLERS
are therefore sold at discount to
Greeks and Italians who have stands
near railroad stations and the cheaper
resorts, who can roast, reroast and re.
reroast them indefinitely until they
are finally sold.

NEEDED IT.

Edward B. Russ, who is to engross
the treaty of Portsmouth, is nature
student.
Like many other nature students,
Mr.. Russ thinks that Roberts, Seton
and the new nature students attribute
overmuch intelligence to animals. He
said, with a laugh, the other day:
AT the rate we are now going on IT
won't be long before we shall be hear
ing such animal stories as this:
An old man, on a lonely road
among the moutains, was attacked by
an eagle.
"'The old man defended himself
bravely. The bird scratched him with
its claws and beat him with it's wings
He struck it and kicked it and swore
at It,
Finally, worn out, the eagle with.
drew. But it did not go empty hand
ed. The old man wore a wig. This
wig the eagle snatched of and carried
away
Surely a remarkably sagacious &C.
ton on the part of the bird, which
was you will please note, a bald
eagle"

CALHOUN'S DESCENDANT
A New York Belle Great Grand.
daughter Of Two Vice Presidents.

Although not the daughter of hun
dred earls, Miss Julia Calhoun, who
is guest of Mr.. and Mrs. F. J.
Hearne, is the great-granddaugh OF
two vice presidents of the United
States, John G. Calhoun and Richard
M. Johnson, says the Denver Times.
In point of blue blood, Miss Calhoun
is probably the most distinguished
visitor who has graced Denver society
for many moons. She is modest and
retiring and adrO1tly turns cOnversa-
ton away from the discussion of her
illustrious ancestors. Over the tea
cups the matter has been thoroughly
discussed and historical records con-
suited until every one is satisfied that
John G. Calhoun was the seventh vice
president of the United States when
John Quincy Adams occupied the pres
idential chair. He was one of the tri-
umvirate of statesmen-Clay, Webster
and CalhOun-whO guarded the nation
when it was yet in swaddling clothes.
Calhoun served several terms in con-
gress and the senate and his name
is enrolled upon the nations annals
of fame.
~ASA1Ao NA' OO4uSO4, MISS Oa1uOuu =
maternal grandfather, occupied the po-
sition of vice president when Martin
Van Buren, was the nations chief ex.
ecutive. Kentucky was his native state
and he was nominated in 1887. Rich
ard johnson was fighter as we'll as
statesman, and it was his boast
that he had made a good Indian of
the famous Indian chief Tecumseh by
killing him.
A relic which the descendants of
Johnson display with great pride is
gold sword presented to him by
congress flor deeds of valor and serv.
ice to the state" and 80 inscribed.
General John Calhoun of New York,
Miss Calhoun's father, Is a prominent
attorney In the Empire state, but has
retired from active work in his pro.
fession and is living quietly with his
family at West End avenue near Nine
ty-n1nth street. Miss Calhoun is his
only daughter, but there are three
sons who bear the honored name of
Calhoun.

Observation and Remark That Failed
to Please Hostess.
Out in the West oysters are more
often seer in cans than in shells. An
economical housekeeper conceived the
brilliant idea of making one set OF
"half-shells' serve for a second meal.
She gave n dinner and had another
on for the next night. She had oys.
tiers on the half shell at the first din,
ner, and she just ordered the cooli
to save the shells. She purchased
oysters in the bulk and gave orders
for them to be placed in the shells
and served as the other had been the
night before. 1t happened that little
cousin Johnny was at the seaside last
summer and was an oyster expert in
a small way. When the dishes were
served he looked at the oysters be
fore him in a quizzical manner for q
few minutes, and then said, in a loud
shrill voice: why. mamma, look what
funny oysters. All Of mine grow the
wrong way in the shells."-New York

YOUNG MAN WAS CONFIDENT.
Bride Might Not Promise, But He
Would See She Obeyed.

IN .f.#- f-.F - ill.,.
DR.. William T. Manning, the new
bishop of Harrisburg, was asked by a
Harrisburg reporter if it was true that
young brides sometimes objected to
the word obey in the marriage ser
vice. .
Yes, that is true" said Bishop Man,
ming. "a great many young brides
think that the marriage service should
be altered-think that instead of say
ing they will love, honor and obey
their husbands, they should be allow
ed to say that they will love, honor
and cherish these fine young men.
Sometimes, urged on by his bride,
a bridegroom suggests to the officiating
clergyman that the service be altered
for his benefit. He wants the clergy
man to. substitute, on that particular
occasion, cherish for obey But the
clergyman. smiling family, explains
the impossibility and the i~rreverence
Of such a substitution.
Some young men, as I say, want
the ceremony changed. Others, taking
an opposite view, uphold the ceremony
as it stands, and would under no cir
cumstances permit cherish to be sub
stituted for obey if that were pos,
isible.
81 heard of such a young mar the
fother day. While he vas getting mar
ried. his bride, plainly a very modern
young lady, hesitated when the time
came for her to say obey She said
love and honor very promptly and
sincerely, but at obey she hesitated
"The minister paused. He was
alarmed. Till the young woman fin,
ished the sentence he could not pos
sibly, he felt, go on.
Some thirty or forty seconds OF
silence ensued, and then the bride
groom leaned toward the clergyman
and whispered in a tone of encourage
ment:
&c on. sir. Whether she says i
or not it don't matter. I'll make hel
do it; that's the main thing"
