ShelIlna Nuts for Candy.

Nuts for several years have kept
going higher and higher An old nut
shelter tells Tip thousands of pounds
OF nuts are sold now in New York
where hundreds were sold twenty
years ago. Nuts that five or six years
ago We're drug on the market at 10
and IL cents pound are now consid-
cred a bargain to be snatched at for
is or 20 cents pound. Nut cracking
and Smelling have grown to be a big
business Much Of the meat is used
for the astonishing increase in the
candy cake and confectionery bust
ress. Now are many immense candy
stores where a few years ago were
only stick candy and taffy trade
shops.
Nut Smelling is largely done by pat.
ented machinery that works in Secret.
Some say they boil or steam to soften
the nut before cracking; some say
they crack them from this end and
some from the other. Anyhow, the
kernels come out much more perfect
whole meats than the hand cracked,
and the high frlced kernels bring from
40 to so cents a pound. Another
thing that adds to the price Of nuts
is that they have to be kept in Sc
we're cold storage, else they quickly
taste rancid. Cocoanuts and Brazil
nuts are hardest to keep without cold.
Many Of the nuts eaten today, like
meat, were in cold storage yesterday.

ITO AND THE MARINES.
Thirst for Information Of Japan's AS.
sasslnated Statesman

5assnated Stateeman
The Marquis Ito, who was recently
assassinated by a Corean, was always
eager to acquire information about
Western civilization. During his four
forms as Prime Minister Of Japan his
country residence at DISC, near Toxic,
was at all times open to the foreigner,
and his ready command Of six Ian
guages gave him many opportunities
Of pumping his barbarian visitors,
Two American marines on shore
leave several years ago were doing
Toxic. and the course of a walking
trip took them into the suburbs.
Stopping to rest under a tree, they
lighted their pipes and were survey
ing the passing coolies and rickshaws
with lazy interest, when an open car
riage, with outriders and other evil
dences Of japanese opulence, came
along the road.
Seeing a jolly locking, bewhiskered
Japanese sitting alone in the vehicle,
they saluted in military fashion and
smiled back at him. Suddenly the car
riage stopped and the occupant beck
oned the marines to approach.
IF you're travelling my way, there
is room in my carriage for three"
said the bewhiskered japanese in
English.
The Americans shook the ashes
from their pipes, stiffened into digni-
ty, and marched into the seat offered
them with all the aplomb of expe-
rienced globe trotters. Then followed
a catechisng such as they never UNI
derwent before. In the language Of
one of them;
THE old guy asked us all we knew
about civilization down to who killed
Billy Patterson, and he pumped us as
dry as a bsttleship three months in
dry dock He was a wise nut all
right, and a good judge Of a cigar
He was especially interested in
the service and his questions upon
the treatment Of men and chances
for promotion in the United States
Marine Corps showed knowledge Of

Now" be remarked as the car
riage turned into a private driveway,
this is where | live, and as | have

carriage for the ride to Toxic. I've
had an instructive half hour with
you and ! appreciate your forbsar-
ance in submitting TO so long a cross
examination. Good-by and good luck
10 YOU both"
With these words the japanese
handed two cards to the marines,
shook hands, got out Of the vehicle
and disappeared behind a party Of
bowling servitors while the carriage
started for Toxic.
Bet he was a big gun, all right, all
right" observed one of the marines
refectvely, leaning back among the
cushions and taking the card out.
And he was. In English script up
on the card were two lines of print
which read: Marquis Hirobumi Ito;
G. c. B. Prime Minister of Japan
