One of the oldest nuts in the world
is the candle nut. which grows in the
Pacific islands. The name is derived
from the fact that the kernel is so full
OF oil that when dried it can be stuck
in a reed and used as a candle. The
natives Of Hawaii roast these nuts,
and after removing the she'll reduce
the kernel to a paste, which, when
seasoned with salt and pepper. is re-
ported as making an appetizing dish.
The husk of the nuts and the gum
which exudes from the tree have me
dicinal values. while the burned shell
IS used in making an indeEble ink
with which tattooing IS done.-Ameri-
can Fruit and Nut Journal

That was a wallop all right for the
peated today the Sox may look forward
with great hopes for the rest of tail
end games. RUDE Waddell looked good
to the Sox as they landed his curves
and punched the ball far and wide for
total of fifteen hits and eight runs.
Walsh on the other hand pitched a
good fair game as he always does when
he can be shown that the team behind
him is going to win. 1t is funny what
difference that makes to the big
twirler, but 1t is fact, as his record
this year will show. If the game is
close and the Sox once get behind
watch how quick Jones changes pitch
ers when Walsh is in the box. But
yesterday. although touched up for ten
hits, he kept going all the time and
held the runs down. The Athletics
We're in slump for keeps and the new
men on the team, Nicholas and Old
ring, were overcome by the cheering
of the crowd and played like ANA
tuers. These men never figured before
in a fight for a pennant, and although
they have done much to land the team
near the top, they are now doing just
as much to cast them down again.
Plank or Dygert in today's game may
change the outlook some, although
Smith and White can both pitch vic
tory.

Plan Excavations at Memphis.

An appeal is being made in England
for funds to undertake the great task
Of excavating the ruins of Memphis
1t is expected that England will now
do for Memphis what the French gov
eminent has done for Delphia and the
Germans for Olympia. The sites of the
four great temples are plainly mark
ed, so that exploration can begin at
once. This mass of ruins covers 100
acres. as much as the whole of the
site at Karnak. and it IS estimated
that $4,000 will be needed annually
for fifteen years to accomplish the
work. Important material is believed
10 lie within few yards of the sur
face, SO that results should be reach
ed promptly

MINER SUED BY CHURCH.
Klondike Missionary Must Yield Up
Wealth.

ABILENE, Kan, March IA judgment
for $4,000 against Peter Anderson, a
farmer boy of this county, who fifteen
years ago went to the Klondike mission
airy and came back worth 100000, has
been entered in the district court here in
favor of Melt. Hulbergat who represents
the Swedish Missionary Society.
Anderson was sent to the Klondke by the
society, and in the gold rush left the mis-
sion work and went to mining. He was
eminently successful and the first years
profits were more than 100000. After his
return he literally endowed the Swedish
college and hospital in Chicago and pur-
chased some 1900 acres of land in this
county which he gave to his parents and to
his wife.
The society claimed that as he was it's
missionary his gold find belonged to it and
sued. Anderson agreed to an arbitration
commission, and it decided against him.
Then he appealed to the courts and lost
with the result that a judgment for $780,
600 was given in the Illinois courts. This
is the Judgment that has been entered
here in order to attach the land in this
county.
The original case has been appealed to
the United States Supreme Court Ander-
son is living in Chicago and has a large in
come from his mines. His parents, who
were poor when he left, have been made
well-to-do.
