CATION of Indians from the north
west visited Philadelphia. Here
they were shown the mint. The
little girls father was fine en-
graver and he had official connec-
ton with the mint. The attention
of one of the chiefs was attracted
to the little maid, and in sportive
mood he took off his headdress and
placed it upon her head. Someone
present, with an eye to beauty and
artistic skill was so struck by the
appearance which little Sarah Long
acre made that he sketched her on
the spot.
Just then the penny in its present
form was about to be issued, but
the figure with which its face was
to be ornamented had not been
chosen. This engraved sketch
went into competition for the hon

WOmanly Wisdom.

Eyes, clean the house and clean
the shed,
And clean the barn in every part !;
But brush the cobwebs from the

And sweep the snowbanks from

Going to do any papering this
season? Don't put the new paper
right over the old-peel off every
bit of the old you can. Wet the
wall with brush to soften the old
paper, scrape off the last bit you
can, and then put on the new pa
per.
1t may be handy to throw scraps
out of the kitchen door or window,
but it makes nuisance of the chick

door waiting for few crumbs, and
do not grow so fast as they would
ranging the green fields.
Kerosene is splendid aid in the
cleaning of windows. Into basin
put two tablespoonfuls of kerosene
and two of water. Wash with a
soft cloth and dry with newspa-
per. This process will remove fly
specks from both glass and paint
better than water and soap can do,
and leaves the glass with better
polish.

Concerning Peanuts.
First Brought 10 This Country About 1850
Where Most Are Grown.

Few people who buy bag Of
peanuts on the street for FIVE cents
realize the extent of the peanut in
dustry," said one who knows
recently. ut is a fact that the
total sales Of peanuts amount am
nually to between IS 900, 900 aud
$40, 600, 900, and some statesmen
sell as high as 1000, 900 bushels
each year.
"The seeds of the peanut are
planted like beans, aud when the
vines have come up and the nuts
are ready for harvesting the farmer
takes a cultivator especially made
for that purpose and starts down
the long row On either side of
this cultivator are two long knives
which sink into the ground suiH-
GENTLY to cut the tap root Of the
vine. The same process is gone
through with on the other side Of
the vine. The main root being thus
severed 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 co'ored women 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 ten cents bushel.
1T is not known how peanuts
first came to this country. Both
Africa and Asia claim the distinc-
ton of being the home of this veg
etable. It's first record in the United
States dates back to 1850. In 1861
the crop amounted to about $4,000
bushels, but it was the circus that
really made the peanut valuable
article of commerce.

Spitters Must Beware.
u the Governor Signs this Gill.

If the Govern,r sigrs Sena'or
Sprouts spltting bill great
deal of circumspectron among the
people throughout the State will be
necessary if they want to avoid
paying one dollar fine and costs"
for each offense. or going to Jail
for not paying up. Yet the bill is
not so dangerous as it was before
the cutting out of the authorization
for arrest in railroad or transit car
cases, "summarily without war
rant" As it is "the constable or
other person authorized by law to
make arrests' is to be empowered
simply to "arrest persons violating
the provisions of section one of this
act OIL trains or ca5s i'll motion or in
transit, and to take such offenders
before the nearest Justice of the
peace, Alderman or magistrate, Ell
ther at the place where the offense
is committed, or at the next regu-
lar stopping place of the train or
car"
"Section One" declares that "it
shall Re unlawful for any person to
spit on any public walk, public
wharf or landing place, the floor,
platform, stairway or elevator, or
covering used thereon, of any rail-
road or railway station, or other
building to which the public has
access, or on the floor, platform,

on, of any railroad or railway car
or other vehicle, conveyance or
common carrier used for the trans
portation of the public" Owners
of such buildings, cars, vehicles,
ETC., cor the officers in control
thereof" must conspicuously post
warnings to the public against vlo-
lating the law. In the House there
was an eleventh-hour striking out
of the requirement for splitting
receptacles at convenient places in
closed smoking cars But it is
still required that where splitting
receptacles are provided in build
ings and cars and other vehicles"
there must be careful attention to
cleansing and disinfection.
Any person convicted of the
splitting. "in summary proceed
ing before Justice, Alderman. or
Magistrate of the county in which
the offense is committed" must
pay the dollar land costs" This
goes to the local treasury in that
county. In case of train or car
offense, the money is to be paid to
the treasurer Of the municipality in
which the trial and conviction occurs
In default of payment the offender
must go to Jail for mot less than
one day nor more than five days"
The person, firm or corporation
violating requirements as to post
ing of warnings, and to cleanliness
OF the "receptacles," whic they are
not compelled to provide. shall also
be subject to conviction in Sum
mary proceeding" similar to the
other, and to fine of from S. to

The May Lippincott's A Banner
Number.

Inauguration is over, the tariff
is being attended to, business is
getting better and better, and the
weather is behaving itself beauti-
fully. Therefore let Melancholy
take to the woods. Well have none
of her. Even in Our reading matter
let us demand that which is pleas
urable and optimistic. Both of
these adjectives, by the way, aptly
describe the May Litpine0tt's. which
is filled from cover to cover with
an assortment of stories and special
articles, jokes and poetry, as varied
as they are entertaining.
The complete novel-"The POM
esranate Seed" by Katharine Met
calf Roofs one of the most de-
lightful love stories which have
appeared in a decade. 1t is quite
pro oable that the marriage Of a
popular light opera star to we'll
known novelist, not long ago, gave
to the author the idea for her plot.
Her hero, it happens, is an artist,
her heroine dainty young singer
in comic opera. Miss Roofs char
ac,ers are admirably drawn even
the minor ones being clear cut and
vivid. Griselda, the singer, is Who'll
ly charming, and one doesn't in
the least blame Stephen for falling
in love with her. The plot is ably
handled, and the theatrical atmos-
phere distinctly good. The tale
holds the readers interest till the
end, despite the fact that battle,
murder, and sudden DEATH" are
conspicuous for their absence.
The short stories are of high
order of excellence. Mary Roberts
Rinehart, author of THE Man in
Lower Ten" and THE Circular
Staircase" contributes a breezily
funny story called Lady Godiva
at the Springs; Maarten Martens,
vividly powerful character study
entitled Mrs Marsham'; Elsie
Singmaster, characteristic tale of
the Pennsylvania Germans
Thousand Dollar Daggett"
and Minna Thomas Antrim, The
Eavesdropper," clever love story.
The Departure" oy Ella Wheeler
Wilcox, is another charming bit of
fiction.
Among the special articles is a
strong paper on Shall Women
Vote ?" by the brilliant novelist
Ouida, who died not long ago
"The Tricks of Memory" by Will
liam Trowbridge Larned, is anus
ing and entertaining. w. B. Blake,
Clifford Howard, and Ellis o.
Jones are the writer's represented
in LitpineoHs unique department,
"Ways of the Hour" "
Roscoe Gilmore Scott. Alice E.
Allen, J. B, E., Cora Walker
Hayes, and Charles L. Donnell
have creditable verses in this May
number. The finishing touch"
is supplied by "Walnuts and
Wine," sixteen-page humorous
section.

for them by tying fly hooks on a trot
line. He bats the hooks with corn.

laid in shallow water in the sub

bottoms. Strings Of shelled corn are
then run from the lines out into the
fields, and the ducks follow up this
