Different Meanin& S.

Some words in our language have
several meanings, each different from
the others, SO that it is not always pos
sible to know at first just what thought
the speaker wishes to express. There
is the word humanitarian" for in
stance. If you will turn to your Web
ster you will find that it means, first,
one who denies the divinity of Christ
and believes him to have been merely
human; second, one who limits the
sphere of duties to human relations
and affections to the exclusion of the
religious Or spiritual; third, one who is
actively concerned in promoting the
welfare of his kind, philanthrOpist.
The third sense is the one in which the
word is now most frequently used, and
Webster marks this definition as "re-

Picking Peanuts.

The seeds of the peanut are planted
like beans, and when the vines have
come up and the nuts are ready for
harvesting the farmer takes q cult
vator especially made for that pur-
pose and starts down the long rows.
On either side of this cultivator are
two long knives which sink into the
ground sufficiently to cut the taproot
of the vine. The same process is gone
through with on the other side of the
vine. The main root being thus sew
cred and the ground loosened, the
vines are lifted into shocks like corn.
They are cured by allowing them to
stand in the sun for about ten days,
when a colored woman and children
are sent into the field to pick the nuts
from the vines. an average picker
will pick about five bushels day, for
which he is paid at the rate OF 10
cents bushel.

Republicans and Democrats.

The old Republican party, founded
y Thomas Jefferson, had its most
vigorous life during the twenty four
years while Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe were in the White House. Dur
ing these years it completely annihi-
lated it's opponent, the Old Federalist
party, which was the predecessor Of
the present Republican party. John
Quincy Adams, the sixth president Of
the United States, who had a leaning
to Federalism, was elected by the
house of representatives none of the
candidates having a majority of the
electoral vote as national Republi-
can, and when Jackson came in four
years later it was as Democratic
Republican. 1t was during his time
that the latter half of the name was
dropped, and the party of Jefferson
took the name of the Democratic party
It was not until 1854 that the present
Republican party assumed the name
which the party of Jefferson and Jack
son had dropped a quarter of a CEN
fury before.-St Louis Republican.

TIsRybure Candy.

Beware Of impure candy. Sugar in
candy quickly ferments after eating
and if too much is eaten serious trou-
bles often result. Pure sugar dissOlves
quickly in water and leaves a clear
liquid, affording an easy way Of test
ing its purity. Drop small piece of
candy in a glass, and over it pour boil
ing water. Let it stand twenty-four
hours. If there is any foreign sub
stance in the candy a sediment will be
found in the bottom Of the glass.-New

Material For 200 Eggs I'm 80 Man

German scientists announce that the

pounds can be found in the whites and
yolks of 1.2OO hens eggs. Reduced to

An Hour Before Dawn.

A curious mystery is the temporary
uneasiness of animals about an hour
before dawn, no matter at what hour
this occurs Children turn and moan,
elderly people awaken and turn over
for another sleep, cocks crow, dogs be-
come uneasy and horses and cattle
move about for short period, when
stiffness returns for time. What is
the cause? Are the animals affected
by some magnetic wave which pre-
cedes sunlight an hour or so, or is the
habit one of heredity passed down
through numberless generations from
an original wild state, when an alert
ness just before daylight was neces-
sary for protection from enemies?

LEssEES ARE IN LUCK
ON THE Ida QUEEN MINE

Leases are in demand on the estate of
the Ida Queen Mining company, located
10 miles west of Ida, and justly so as
those miners fortunate enough to Sc
cure holdings are in a fair way TO make
money from their ventures. The main
workings are operated on company ac-
count and most satisfactory results are
being obtained.
On the Contact claim splendid assays
are secured at surface from a well min
eralized dixie. Roxie Henderson has the
property under lease and recently sam
pied lS inches of the vein which re-
turned gold values as high as $325.40
per ton. Pieces of the rock showing
free gold gave returns as high as $4,000
to the ton.
Mr.. Henderson has leased four blocks
of the Ida Queen estate and a few days
ago sent out a large quantity of tools
and supplies. He purposes to prospect
the ground thoroughly at surface and
after locating a favorable point will
sink a deep working shaft and prove up
the acreage at depth.
On the w. p. Wilson block a 4-ineh
streak of ore is showing from which IL
ounces in silver and 11.9 0 ounces in gold
to the ton are obtained.
