Why Not?

James Edward is deliberate, taci-
turn, meditative. His eight years have
been spent in the country and in vii
lagos; SO, naturally, his first visit to
the city stimulated the intellectual
process.
After solemn observation of the
crowds in the city streets, after spend
ing a night, together with his parents,
in the parsimonious bedroom of fiat,
after morning spent with his young
cousins in attempted and restricted
play in the diminutive park near their
place of residence, James Edwards
impressions finally arrived at the stage
where expression in words became i'm
perative. The result is offered as pos

problem of the housing of a city's

Enlistment.
Her knowledge of machinery is not
confined to the machine shop, for she
goes into the foundry, which is an adj
junct to the shop, and there can cast
or mold anything in the line of ma
chinery, even to the pouring of the
sizzling hot metal itself.
In molding, which is regarded as
requiring much experience and skill
to prevent defects in the castings, she
is perfect. She turns out clean cast
ings, which she pours from the heavy,
hot ladle very steadily, as required in
this class of work. If it be a thin
plate to be poured fast, something
that all molders look upon as difficult,
and often with fear, she never fails
to get a perfect casting.
In handling brass, she makes those
castings without difficulty, and melts

Drift on Raft at Sea in
Peril for Eighty Hours

Norfolk, Va.-From Monday morn
ing at eight o'clock until Thursday
evening following, as darkness was
drawing near, thirsting and starving
but for three small fishes which were
cast up by the sea upon bit of wreck
age on which they rode and were d.
vided and devoured raw, John KOerber
and Karsten Berntsen, seamen aboard
the late three masted schooner Nelson
E. Newbury, of New York, Capt. Ber-
nard, rode on raft on the sea OF this
coast alternating between faint hope
and deep despair, until the steamer
Egda came along and saved them.
The story, which they told simply,
of their escape from death and the
drowning of their shipmates, is par
ticularly pathetic They said that the
Newbury sailed from Port Royal, S. c.,
for New York, with cargo and deck
load of lumber; that they were be-
Gained outside for eight days, but on
last Monday morning when the cook
said they were off Charleston, hur-
ricane struck them, which, within Is
minutes, stripped every sail from the
vessel.
Next the deck load on the lee side
was washed and blown overheard.
Then the schooner dipped her stern
and the cabin deck was washed away.
Within few seconds the vessel was
turned over and all hands tried to

six men off the wreck and sthe sur

for about two hours, alternately in the
water and upon some of the three-inch
planks of which the deck load was
composed, or torn from these by the
waves. Finally both men, good swim
mers, got atop of the cabin roof, and
although the waves rolled over this
for many hours, they hung to it until
they were rescued.

found hanging on hook, an oilskin
coat and a pair of overalls were hoist

the men, who also shouted and
screamed when passing ships were
sighted. Fifteen steamers passed

could see their rigging. before the

THE MANURE HEAP.
Protect 1t From the Drenching Ralne
of Winter, So Plentiful in
the South

Manure that has been carefully kept
under cover and properly composted
will show it's effect almost immediate
ly, but if it has been leached by heavy
rains, so plentiful in the south in win
ter, and exposed to drying winds, and
the suns rays, it will be of but little
value, although it may not be worth
less, as something of more or less
value will remain, but whether it will
pay for the labor and expense or
hauling it is a doubtful matter.
All kinds of manure should be kept
under cover to avoid rain. A leakage
here ana there, or little water on
It now and then, is not disadvan-
tage, but by no means allow the ma
nue. to be soaked by drenching rains,
for they carry away the most valuable
portion Of it. Prepare suitable place
for the manure, sloping towards the
center and under cover.
First put down a layer OF muck, road
dirt or forest mould, over which place
thick covering of leaves, and then
throw on the manure. From time to
time let all the soapsuds and liquid
manures be thrown over the solids. AS
soon as the manure has been placed
on the heap commence the process
again with the dirt and leaves. II
the leaves are not handy, use waste
bedding of the stables and pens.
Always finish by leaving the manure
covered. Keep 1t damp, but in no case
let it get drenched. Moisture, how
ever, will assist decomposition, espe-
cially II the liquids of the stable are
used. It will be an advantage to sprin-
kle the heap every day, Of whenever
the manure is thrown out, with dilut-
ed sulphuric acid, which not only de-
composes It and renders 1t soluble,
but also converts the ammonia into
sulphate of amonia. Do not avoid
the little extra labor, but take good
care of the manure heap, for therein
Is the wealth of the farm.

ways in Demand.

The use of the peanut, from the
point where it was considered of prin-
cipal service to feed the circus ele-
plant to the attempt of a former gov
ernor of a western state to corner the
crop of the United States, as was re-
Gently reported in the news, is inter-
esting. 1t is an American product,
but is now sold all over tne world and,
besides the immense quantities con-
sumed By the small boy and the more
occasional adult in simple roasted
state or raw, enters into more kinds
of food than most people have any idea
of. Historically the nut is old, being
mentioned in the writings of ancients,
some of whom suggested it as pos
sible food. 1t grows in warm coun-
tries, but is believed to be indigenous
to this country. Here, at least it has
had it's chief exploitation, and Virginia
and other southern states furnish the
bulk of the worlds supply. The nut is
found under ground but IS not root
of the plant, as the potato Is. 1t is
gehminated above ground but is
brought under the surface of the soil
by the whitening of the stalk. From
80 to 40 bushels to the acre is an aver
age natural yield, but this is some
times exceeded under methods Of
forced cultivation.
Peanut oil may have been known to
the ancients, too, but its value was
first discovered in the south during
the civil war, when people we're hard
put to it to find things to cook or to
cook with. The oil makes a fairly good
and perfectly healthy substitute for
olive oil, but its cheapness also rem
ders 1t available for lubricating and
many other purposes. It is said that
millions of bushels Of nuts are annual
ly shipped to Europe to be made into
oil, which is then shipped back as
pure olive oil. Peanut butter has late
ly become popular and is manufac-
tured in large quantities in this coun-
try and in Europe. The fisheries Of
New England use the oil also to pre-
serve their products in, and the rich
oil found in a sardine, and supposed
to be It's own is really borrowed from
