CONCERNING PEANUTS.

"The peanut isn't nut at all, but a
member of the pea bean, and clover
family. 1t is legune and gathers nitrogen
from the air Peanuts do not grow from
roots, but on shoots which grow out from
the plant above ground, bear a little
sterile yellow blossom, and then shoot
directly into the ground, where they peg,
that is, where peanuts begin TO grow on
them The peanuts are then pulled from
the vines or roots, and the roots are then
plowed back into the ground to allow the
nitrogen to feed the soil The peanuts
are then taken to peanut factories In
these buildings the peanuts are cleaned
and sorted The largest are saved and put
through 'rumbler,' which polishes the
shells. These are sold in the shells Other
first grades are shelled and sold forsalting;
and one big packing company buys only
first grades for peanut-butter.
''If the plants are pulled roots and all,
the peanuts are dried out by stacking on
poles, then pulled off and sold Broken
peanuts are pressed and the oil extracted.
Much Of this oil is sold as pure olive-oil
In fact, it is quite as rich and nutritious
as oliye-oil The refuse is pressed into
cakes, and sold as oilcakes for feeding
stock and especially dairy cows. May

DON'T EMBARRASS CRIPPLES.

Our bearing toward our disabled sol
diers hasn't been much tested so far"
writes Caroline Avis, in an article on the
reconstruction of manned fighting men,
IN Everybodys for August
But already one has heard of the one
legged boy i'll khaki embarrassed beyond
endurance by a street crowd of curious
sympathlzers; of the wounded man to
whom well-meaning stranger insisted
on presenting money, to show gratitude;
of the soldier with an empty sleeve halted
with inquiries for his story. All fine
enough impulses iii themselves, but hold
ing the germs Of disaster for the manned
men For to set the crippled soldier apart
IN a class by himself, to make him think
of himself as a hero, OFF he is incapable
of thar-to annoy him with hero worship.
to overwhelm him with sentimentality.
or to offer him even the most refined form
of charity, is to do him incalculable harm.
One expert says reconstruction should
begin upon the return to consciousness
so dangerous to mind and will is idleness
in that interval of despair between injury
and restoration to health"

BURRO AN INANE,
STUPID DREAMER
Not Nearly So Wise as He Looks, and
He Has No Soul, Is Charge

The Burro has q high forehead and d
thoughtful, reflective face, but is not as
brainv as he looks. Sometimes, indeed,
he seems as inane and stupid as a man in
love witha grass widow. Most generally
a burro has great, soulful eyes, but
his soul is smaller than that of blind
kitten. In a collection of souls that of
the burro would seem like a mere speck
The greatest value of the burro is for
the load he carries. If a man could carry
the same load and be as sure-foOted about
it, he would be worth $4,000 year as a
wIne-agent.
The burro can generally get away with
anything that can be strapped to him
Sometimes he Is called upon to move the
entire possessions of a family-and he
does it He is the only animal in cap
tivity that can climb cliff with cook
stove, mattress, a trunk, wash-tub,
two frying pans, the family Bible, and a
couple of lengths of stove pipe tied to his
back. At times he seems almost buried
beneath his burden, and it is rather
startling for the stranger TO see a load
ambling cOzily up hill without any
visible means of support.
The burrO has an elastic and accommO-
dating appetite. He can dine at the
Alexangelus or 90 to bed without his
supper without expressing any particular
motion either way. If he has bale of
alfalfa before him he likes hay, but if
there is nothing but a mess Of prickly
cactus In the ice-box, why cactus is his
meat He is usually careless about his
drinking habits Like most personal-lib-
erty advocates he can take it or leave it
alone. But he can wet his whistle at an
alkai mud-hole with as much sang-froid
as if he were opening a keg Of hops on
the East Side. 1t is hardly safe, how
ever, for two or three to be anchored
close together They are liable to eat up
each others loads
Once when we were camping out on the
bosom of nature our burro stuck his
head through the flap of our tent and ate
up our only pair of pants
That was the week we came near being
shot for a wild man Eugene Brown, in
the Los Angeles Times Magazine

LAWYER, SALAD MIXER.
Admitted to Philadelphia Bar on
Excellence of the Dressing.

There has been change in the method
of examining students for admission to the
bar in Philadelphia from the practice of n
generation or two ago. Recently the State
examiners held an examination, and the
students found that considerable know
ledge of both the theory ard practice of
the law was essential.
This, in theory, might always have
been the case, but IN practice the ex-
aminat o. was less thorough in the old
DAYS.
There is a story of Edward D. Ingra-
ham, one of the leaders Of the local bar
sixty wears ago, who was an examiner
as we'll rs a noted wit Indeed his ca
pacity for Jokes was almost rs great as
his capacity as lawyer and As q speaker
In those DAYS there were not enough
students to hold formal examination,
and the appearance, manner, and char
actcr Of the student himself had great
deal to do with passing him for admls-
sion.
On one occasion, a young man, the son
of wealthy Philadelphian and known
as good liver and more or less a man
about town, appeared before the lawyer,
who was acting as one of the examiners.
Mr. Ingraham knew perfectly well
that the applicant had no intention of
practicing law He merely desired 10
acquire a profession in graceful, easy
manner.
Consequently, 1ngraham asked him
only one question.
mir. c., he said. after the applicant
had been shvering in apprehension of
the result, how do YOU make chicken

Not realizing the purport Of the ques-
ton, Mr. c. answered naturally and
with superior knowledge on the subject.
