gun on the Kearsarge, manned by the
very genius of the battle, a grim, mat
ter-of-fact but awfully in earnest Nan
tucketer, who might have sprung from
the loins of Long Tom Coffin or Of Sal
walton Yeo.
It was nearly noon, and the Alabama
had only a few more shots to fire. One
OF the very last crashed through the
rigging Of the Kearsarge and broke the
stops of big new flag on the mizzen
mast; a flag which had never yet been
displayed, but had been kept there in
stops to be broken out only as a sign
that victory had been won and the Ala
baina had been captured or destroyed.
Winslow had hoped himself to unfurl
that flag, but Semmes denied him the
privilege. It was the Alabama's own
chance shot that unfurled to the Chan
mel breeze the signal of her own doom.
The neutral line was now only two
miles away, and the Alabama turned
her Prov thitherward, as IL hoping 10
escape. But Winslow's vigilance was
unfolding. The Kearserge swept across
the Alabama'ss bows and stopped her,
and the fight was over. Semmes flung
his sword into the sea so that it might
not fall into Yankee hands, and made
good his escape to the ready and watt
ing Deerhound, while the Alabama,
hinging her bows for a moment high
into the air, plunged stern forward to
the bottom of the sea.

How many a business man is like
MacGregor? In his own office, among
his familiar surroundings, he is full of
energy and confidence. He knows what
to do and how to do it. He exactly fills
his environment-he ia at home. But
If he is a man Of limited education and
experience, as soon as he is put in other
surroundings he is at sea. He does not
know how to meet another type of men
than that to which he is accustomed.
In short, he is provincial His circle q
life is very small, and he is lost If hs(
strays out of it.
The higher education broadens the
circle of existence. 1t makes one a man
Of the world, at home everywhere and
among any class of men. Ones bust
ness may be small, but there is whole
vast world outside OF 1t with which
education has made him familiar, so he
is not tethered 70 a spot. If circum-
stances lead him outside the daily
routine, there is no difficulty. That is
just a difference which education
makes. A man with limited education
is in touch with life in a few points.
And this multiplication of contact with
life just to that extent multiplies the
man. The. possibility OF understanding
and enjoyment is much greater
and especially there is room for wider
social influence. II makes
man much more than a business man.

HOW PEANUTS ARE sALTED.
Much Care Has to Be Taken in Prep
aration for Market.


There are two distinct kinds of salt
ed peanuts. according to n. +. Gro
hens an authority on that subject.
The ordinary kinds are the ones pre-
pared from Spanish shelled peanuts,
unblanched, or, i'm other words, with
the skins left on. The other class of
salted peanuts is prepared from the
Virginia varieties and blanched The
blanched salted peanuts are usually
put up in small parafIined paper sacks
to prevent early deterioration.
To prepare the unblanchcd varieties
of salted peanuts the manufacturer
makes use of copper kettle or of an
iron steam iacketed kettle. This ket-
tie is partly filled with vegetable fat
or "konnut.' When this fat has come
TO the boiling point, the peanuts, by
means of a wire basket, are lowered
into the vat and boiled to a straw
color. When done the wire basket
is raised above the fat to allow the
oil to drain off, and then the nuts
are discharged into a suitable, vessel
or trough. where the salt is applied
while the nuts are still hot.
The making of blanched peanuts re-
quires different process. The Nir-
ginia shelled peanuts are roasted i'm q
special roaster TO light straw color.
After this, and as soon as they cooled
off, they pass through the automatic
blancher. which removes the red skins
as well as the bitter germs or sprouts.
The nuts are then salted. In order 10
