A Massachusetts, Nature Fake.
From the Boston Herald.


The peanut industry has not been q
prominent one in Massachusetts,, but If
what Is going on in Rockland can be
carried on successfully in other sections
the threatened peanut famine will be
halted.
The First Congregational Society of
Rockland Is raising the only known crop
of peanuts in the Bay state. There Is a
large lawn in front of the church. where
several band concerts have been given
during the past summer
Some one in the crowds that assembled
allowed some peanuts to get away. with
the result that the kernels took root, and
now the lawn of the church is a peanut
farm. Several husky plants have ap-
|peared.

for the long nerve-racking hours spent at
the desk or in the works.

Quarrel Between Vienna and Buda-
pest.

From the London Times.
A foolish conHict has arisen. or rather
required, between Vienna and Budapest in
connection with the addresses of letters
from Hungarian authorities. The Vienna
municipal authorities have issued an or
dinance instructing all municipal offices to
retain unopened letters from Hungarian
authorities that are addressed with the
word Bees" the Hungarian name for
Vienna instead of the German name.
Wien This Is a reprisal against the
Hungarian practice of returning letters
and parcels addressed to the German
names of Hungarian cities.

Electricity and Plants.

Summarizing the progress that has
been made in electro-culture, B. Tolks-
dorf, a German, finds it fairly we'll
proven that electricity is essential to
the growth of vegetation, although
the important part played is not yet
understood.
Professor Lemstrom has found that
plants sooa died under a wire cage,
which excluded atmospheric electric
ity, while freely admitting air, heat
and lighr. In Spitzbergen and Fin
nish Lapland large crops are always
connected with the early appearance
of the Northern Lights, and in the
experiments that have been made
so far on a small scale-the yield Of
many plants has been increased by
an artificial supply of electricity and
wator.
II is supposed that electricity slim
ulates the sap exchange Of plants,
while Lemstrom has shown that it
greatly magnifes capillary power,
thus probably enabling the plants to
take in more food from the ground.

Who Invents the Newest Cut In
Clothes?

Where do mems fashions in wear
ing apparel originate? An effort to
solve this mysterious problem Is
made in a recent issue Of Mems Wear,
published in London.
The idea that men Of high social
status influence fashion is, accord
ing to the expert journal, a ~fallacious
one.
1.-THE aristocracy-both the older
and younger sections thereof-are
stated to be, as a class, extremely
conservative in their attitude toward
dress, and move but little from one
year to another. They buy good
stuff, and often, but will tolerate no
experiment.
Rather is it the smart military
man, and the sporting individual, who
is the willing exponent of ideas
(Which may be his own or another's),
and leaves his mark often upon the
styles which find more general &C
ceptation in the West End, and which
are handed down to the wider circle
of city and provincial wearers.
among them new ideas receive
consideration, and the %sartorial art
list enjoys an enlarged scope.
Dotted about in thoroughfares
such as Grafton street and Brook
street are many tailors whose shops
would scarcely be suspected as be-
ing connected with tailoring, and
which give the impression Of small
Offices of a semi-priyate nature.
"Their clients are young officers In
the guards, wealthy sportsmen, and
similar men of considerable position,
and with a certain liking for con-
spicuity.
Here, it may be taken for granted,
many important sartorial plots are
Matched, and it is the tailor, and not
the customer, who plays the leading
part"

NouriShing the Soul.

Why should not everybody, espe-
cially every church member, belong
to the Sunday-school? asks the editor
of the Observer. Surely no n can
lay claim to sufficient knowledge Of
the Bible. Even the most scholarly
men of the age are constantly study
ing the Old Book, and r ever find
ing something in it. In spite Of
the sensation produced by recent
works of fiction, the Bible is more
discussed to-day than any other book,
and the interest is of the intensest
kind. Such a book ought to be stud
led regularly by every person. We
are convinced that by joining the
Sunday-school and making use Of the
best helps in Bible study, the best
results can be secured. Good helps
are cheap, for one thing. Then the
study of certain portions of the Bible
every week will tend to regular and
systematic habits of nourishing the
soul with the very food that it most
needs.-Ram's Horn.

Crows Stop a Railroad Train.

car and did not move when the
freight train arrived.-From the

"Orchestra" and "Noise."

In Shakespeare's time no musical
dictionary could have distinguished
between "~orchestra" and band" for
the simple reason that neither word
was then English in a musical sense.
Orchestra" did not arrive before the
eighteenth century and even band"
not until the latter half Of the seven
teenth, when Charles II. had a band
Of violins," in imitation, probably, of
Louis XIV's "bande." The old Eng
lish word for a band of music was
noise" "tSee if thou canst find out
Sneak's noise; MISTRESS Tearsheet

one drawer to the other at the Bears
Head Tavern; and just so Ben JON
son has "a noise of iddlers," and "a
noise of trumpets." The old word
is wanted for many a gathering Of
musicians outside this writer's fat.

DREADED TO EAT
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hun
cry nearly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and a digest.
But we get in e hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal
into the furnace, and our of
appetite becomes unnatural and per-
verted. Then we eat the wrong kind
of food or eat too much, and there
you are-indigestion and its accom-
panying miseries.
A Phila. lady said the other day:
my husband and 1 have been sick
and nervous for Is or 20 years from
drinking coffee - feverish, indiges-
ton, totally unfit, a good part OF the
time, for work or pleasure. We act
ually dreaded to eat u meals.
1--WE tried doctors and patent med
icines that counted up into hundreds
of dollars, with little if any benefit.
Accidentally, a small package Of
Postum came into my hands. / made
some according to directions, with
surprising results. We both liked 1t
and have not used any coffee since.
1.-The dull feeling after meals has
left US and we feel better every way.
We are so well satisfied with Postum
that we recommend it to our friends
who have been made sick and nervous
and miserable by coffee" Name CIV

COUNTESS CARLISLE.
New World Head of the Womcn's
Temperance Union.

Temperance Union.
To be known as Mrs. Rosalind Car
Isle, instead of my Lady," is the de-
sire of the democratic Countess of
Carlisle, who has recently been elect
ed World w. G. T. u. President. Only
the united protests and appeals of her
entire family and consideration for
their wishes have kept her from, long
ago, abrogating the titles which are
hers by both birth and marriage. The
Countess was Lady Rosalind Frances
Stanley, youngest daughter Of Baron
Stanley, of Adderley, before her mar
riage to the Earl of Carlisle, forty
years ago. She has always been sim
pie and unaffected in manner and
style and the soul of kindness and
charity. She goes about among her
tenants much as the late Queen Vic
toria did when on her visits to her
favorite home, at Balmoral Castle,
Scotland. The people are all known
to her by name and all respect and
love her.
The cares Of a large family and
households seems to have strength
ened and developed Lady Carlisle's
natural administrative genius. While
she is known in England as a woman
Of most pronouncedly radical views
on all subjects, she is respected as a
splendid type of English womanhood.
Her success in retaining several
thousand acres of barren lands on
the tfg family estate of Castle Har-
Yard, at York, has attracted the at
.ention of scientific agriculturists.
Lady Carlisle began her public life

the Countess of Carlisle as she ap-
pears at the present time. The pic
ture, however, does not do her jus.
tice. She has the rosy complexion OF
the British matron and the genial
smile and kindly look Of the optimist
and humanitarian. Although her
figure approaches embonpioint, she
carries herself with dignity and is a
fine-looking woman. Lady Carlisle
is about sixty years Of age and at
the height of her powers.

newly cut dams near the Marguerite
River in New South Wales. In some
cases the water had scarcely settled
after the rain had filed the dam
when the fish were observed, and the

credence until a Sydney professor

considerable eXertion, too. To save
all this wasted energy, a St. Louis
mar has invented a mixer that is tho
acme Of simplicity and usefulness.
The illustration shows a box of any
suitable shape, one side of which ia
open. In each end Of the box is On
eye, which connects with coil springs
attached to brackets. These brack-
cts are strongly braced to insure
rigidity. The two springs are of diff
ferent strength, the upper spring
being stronger than the lower one,
for the purpose Of counterbalancing
the weight of the box. A receptacle
containing the liquids to be agitated
is placed in the box, and by imparting
a downward pressure with the hand
it is caused to vibrate vertically.
How long it will keep in motion the
inventor does not state, but if strong
springs are used the time should be
sufficient for mixing the contents

A Little Girl and O Talent.

Do not fail to remember that any
ability to do is the talent that we
must use for Jesus. A little girl went
with her mother and older sister to
see a poor sick woman. When she
came home her father said. What
did my little girl do for the sick
lady?" Il just smiled and patted her
hand" That was a very little talent,
you may think, but the little girl was
faithful.

"He who has a pure heart will

be constant in prayer shall know
what it is to have a pure heart" No
man can talk with the Master and sit

mating in thought to Him. Our COM
