THE second week of the Atlantic
lomiue season now draws to an
end and finds Scranton In the
lead with the excellent record
of seven victories and only two
defeats. Mannger Burnham can well
feel proud of his men's work so far.
Today the boys play their last home
game, as they leave hero Monday for
Roadlng, where they play two games,
after which they play at Philadelphia,
Newark. Jersey City and Allcntown
In the order named, coming home on
May 26 to meet Allentown. They will
remain at home then for a lone run
of games.
Burnhnm's team, taken from all
points of view, Is a strong one. Fer
guson, Knox and Sheffler constitute a
hard-batting, fnst-floldlng, clever-base-runnlng
trio, Sheffler helm? probably
the hardest and most reliable hitter
on the team.
k Dohorty, J. J. O'Brien, "Pirate"
O'Brien and Mclntyrc constitute a
stone-wall infield, and every member
'of It Is also a first-class batsman. Mc
lntyrc and Knox are both long dis
tance batsmen, and when they hit the
'ball It generally means nn extra base
drive. "Pirate" O'Brien captains the
team, and although his batting was
consldeied his weak point In the Na
tional league, It certainly has not been
In this circuit. Ho is a heady player,
and an exceedingly aggressive one,
and makes the liveliest leader of the
team on the field that has played In
Scranton since the days of "Dashei"
Troy. Doherty Is playing a beautiful
game at third base, and handles the
hottest sort of drives with an ease
that will make him the crack thlrd
bascmnn of the Atlantic league. J. J.
O'Brien has been hampered so far In
his work by a sore arm, but hos nev
ertheless acquitted himself well, and
has done very well with the stick, hav
lng a. knack of drMng out Texas
leaguers, popping little ilys which fall
just where no one can catch them.
Mclntyre plays a steady, careful game
at first and uccepts nearly all of the
chances offered him.
Behind the bat the team is strong,
both Toft and MUlerlck playing the
backstop position In a. steady, reliable
manner, and both men being fair bats
men. In the box Kennedy, Jainleson, Mllll
gan, Kervln and I,eyh make a very for
midable aggregation of twlrlers. Leyh
has only been given one chance to show
what ho could do, that being at Allen
toun, where he went In, In the last
Inning. He did not have much pitch
ing to do, hut In his one appearance
at the bat made the lilt that drove In
two tuns. Owing to Jamieson's being
laid off, on account of the latter's hav
ing tinned his ankle, Leyh will now
probably be given his turn In the box
regularly. Young Kennedy has shown
up very favorably in the box, and Ker
vln has also done good work, the lat-
tec however, showing up so strongly
with the bat that many think It would
be a good Idea to give him a regular
turn In the outfield, especially as he
has shown up very strongly in the few
games he has played In left garden.
Jamlcson has not rounded into form
yet, but when he does, will prove one
of the strongest pitchers in the league.
Mllligan pitched his first game Wed
nesday against Wilkes-Barre, nnd
though he was hit rather freely, was
as steady as a clock and had great
speed and sharp curves, striking out
six of the heavy-hitting Coal Baions.
The cold weather affected his arm, and
there Is little doubt but that he, too,
as soon as the warm weather sots In,
will prove a winner.
Base Ball Brevities.
PRESIDENT JAMES FRANKLIN,
of the Buffalo American 'League
team, has some very nice things
to say about Frank Dillon, who played
first base in this city last .season and
afterward coveted first bag In Buffalo.
Billon, as will be lemembered, was
secured by the Pittsburg National
Leacueis toward the close of the sea
son, and lecently was released to De
tioit. In speaking of Dillon Ptesldent
Franklin, recently said: "There Is ono
thing I am sorry for, howevpi, and
that Is the selling of Dillon to Detroit.
If I had known that Dillon was for
sale, I would have sold Carey for that
$3,000 offered by a National League
team for him, and nailed the man I sold
to Pittsburg. That shows how much
Dievfuss of that club knows about a
player. The first day that Dreyfuss
haw Dillon In a uniform and without
giving him a chance to show his worth,
lie Is reported to have bald: "That fel
low Is no ball player; ho will never
do for us.' Uver afterward he kept on
the heels of poor Dillon until he finally
disposed of him to Detroit for $500.
Dillon Is as good a man as ever held
down first base since the game was
first played. Ho Is a good batter, a
fast fielder, a very Intelligent young
fellow, quick on his feet and always
ready to take advantage of any little
balk on the part of other players to
help his own team out. Stalllngs has
a Jewel In Dillon, and Dreyfuss will be
sorry he sold that player before the end
of the season."
Ed Delehanty I playing a fine first
base for Philadelphia, and up to date
has accepted 169 out of 173 chances.
At the bat he has made twenty singles,
four two basers, one three bagger and
1 home run.
AVadsworth, the old Buffalo pitcher,
Is twirling for New Castle in the Inter-State
League, and the aged Jack
Dlasscock is playing ilrst base for
fort Wayne of the same league.
Elmer Flick Is batting at a tremen
Jous rate at Philadelphia and Is mak.
ing both Delehanty and Lajole feel un
jasy about their laurels. Up to date he
las batted out four homo runs be
ildes numerous triples, doubles and
ane-baggers.
'Eago Eye Jake" Beckley leads the
National League so far with the stick.
Old Jacob is batting at a tenlble rato
and has been the terror of every pitch
er he has faced this season.
Frank Ward, odd as It seems, will be
played In the outfield by Barnle at
Hartford. Barnle is short an outfielder
and has been forced to play Catcher
Urquhart In left field. Ward seems
rather heavy to make a very fast out
fielder, but still his batting powers
will add considerable strength to the
team.
Bill Massey is playing first baso for
Hartford, and is both battlncnnd field
ing we)!, and Steclman, last year with
Richmond, la catching for the team,
Jersey City la making a strong ef
fort to strengthen the team and has
of Sport.
signed two good men In Outfielder
Shnnnon and Catcher Bycrs. The lat
ter is the same back stop Who caught
for1 Patcrson last year. He Is a fine
fielder, good thrower and tremendous
batsman.
The uncertainties of base ball nre
shown strongly In the case of News,
tho Allentown first baseman. In his
first six games this season ho madu
Jut one hit, and the Allcntown papers
made tho disgusted request that some
one purchase him a new bat. Wednes
day ho hit a double and two singles
and Thursday he drove out two home
runs.
George Carey, tho ex-Baltlmoro first
baseman, Is scoilng a wonderful hit
nt the Buffalo Initial bag. Ho Is con
sidered far the best first baseman In

A. G. Spalding has just started for Paris to assume control of the American arrange
ments for the athletic games at the Fair. All American athletes competing will report to
Mr. Spalding, who has been appointed director of the United States branch of the int erna
tional sports by Mr. Ferdinand Peck.
the American League and the Buffalo
fans go so far as to bay that he Is the
best first baseman In the business.
Casey always was a wonderful fielder,
but his batting wns his weak point.
Of late, he seems to have acquired
the knack of plugging the ball out and
has made some of the longest hits
of any man on tho team. Pitcher Mll
ligan, of Scranton. tells of ont hit tliat
Carey made at Buffalo, which was a
terrific drive, the longest In fact ever
made Inside the grounds. It was not
high, but straight nnd vicious, which
struck near tho top of the fence, and
bounding back about thirty feet, fell in
the outfielder's hands and let him get
the sphere back In time to hold Carey
at third base. Several National League
managers are after him.
President Fogei, of the Atlantic
league, yesterday announced the in
definite suspension of Thomns J. Don
ovan, of Green Island, N. Y., on the
chaige of having obtained $35 advanc
money and then deseiting tho Newark
club after playing in one game. He
also announces that new grounds have
been secured at Newark In tho city
proper on which the woik of fitting up
has been begun and which will be
ready for opening a week hence. Tho
new grounds at Jersey City aie to be
ready for the opening game In that
city with Elmlr.i on May IS. Meantime,
pending the piepaiution of these
grounds in tho New Jeiey cities the
following changes and transfeis In the
schedule have been made necessary:
On May 14 and ir. Jei&ey City will
play at Wilkes-Barre. Instead of
Wilkes-Bane at Jeifeey City. On May
10 and 17 Jersey City will be n t Allen
town and Newark at Wllkes-Bane,
both being switches or transfers.
Manager Burnham Is now beginning
to go up against a streak of haul luck
with his players, ns two of them nro
ctippled, and are likely to be kept out
of the game a week at least. Indian
Jamleson has a badly Injured ankle,
which will keep him out of the game
for borne time, and Catcher Millerick
received Injuries In Thursday's game
which will prevent him from playing
for awhile, his hand being badly hurt.
The brunt of tho backstop work will
now bo boine by Catcher Toft.
Of course. It Is not good policy for
the Wilkes-Barre club to beat Scran
ton too often. If It did the Slocum
Hollnwitles would go out of business.
The fear of that Is what held tho Bar
ons back. Now will the Scranton
shouters be good! AVilkes-Barre Dally
News.
The Athletics have signed a new
man, "Billy" Thomas, of Monlstown.
Ho has played with Urslnus college
and Is a good fielder, but a weak bat
ter. With practice he would make a
splendid pitcher.
James Jeffries will umpire today's
game at Philadelphia between the Ath
letics and Jersey City.
Scranton will play its first Sunday
game a week from tomorrow when
Newark will be played on the Jersey
men's own grounds,
Elmlra's record of eighteen runs In
one Inning, made against Allentown
Thursday, will stand for sometime.
Nearly every man on the Allentown
team tried to either pitch or catch
Thursday.
Elmlrahas shifted Gtovo to left field,
and is now using Johnson In the box.
Rosenback, a new man, is playing
right field, and yesterday made sis
runs and a single, two baser and three
bagger. Young Burns handles himself like a
veteran on second base for Wilkes
Barre, and bats In terrlflo style.
Kervin has tho ear marks of .a
rattling good fielder.
In Kervln, Jameson, Kennedy and
Mllligan, Scranton has tho heaviest
hitting quartette of pitchers of any
team in the league.
Allentown this afternoon! Turn out
and glvo the boys a good reception.
They deserve It.
Kennedy and Toft will bo this after
noon's battery. Stlmmel will probably
bo on the rubber for the Peanut eater.

THE executive commltteo in charge
of tho Mllwaukco national meet
of tho L. A. W. Is rapidly com
pleting Its plans, and all arrangements
are being made for the accommodation
nnd entertainment of the visiting
wheelmen. Races will be held In the
Exposition building, which covers nn
entire block, nnd 1b a very comfortable
edifice. It Is well lighted and will be
handsomely decorated. A ten-lap,
modern board track will bo built, Wal
ter Sanger, tho former champion, be
ing chairman of the committee on con
struction. Tours will be conducted to
tho various gardens and places of In
terest In the city, and to Milwaukee's
famous Industrial centers. c A moon
light excursion on the lnke will be
given, nnd many other like pleasures
will be enjoyed. Tho committee Is also
considering tho selection of a badge to
be presented to each visitor with a
handsome Illustrated souvenir of the
city.
The Detroit Cycle board of trade, of
Detroit, Mich., Intends to hold a mon
ster road race over the famous .Belle
Isle course on Memorial Day. This
organization Is now In Its fifth year,
and numbers nbout twenty-five mem
bers, all of whom are local bicycle
dealers. Liberal prizes will bo offered
.-2wir'j. is., a. &S& AM6
for tho winners In tho race, and the
best men for miles around will be en
tered. Charles Murphy, the famous "mlle-a-mlnute"
cyclist, has equipped his
bicycle with a. piece of machinery
which Is unique, to say the least. It
consists of an electric storage battery,
attached to the upper framo tube of
the wheel, the switch being fastened
to the steering head and the wires
covering the handle bais nnd connect
ing at the rear of the slddle post with
a storage battery. Murphy claims
that by grasping the wires ho re
ceives sufficient shock In his arms to
penetrate his entire body and give him
renewed activity.
Charles AV. Miller, the six-day bicy
cle champion, Is In New York, train
ing at the Manhattan Beacli track.
He is anxious to get n match with
Jimmy Michael.
An attempt to license bicycles In De
troit was recently defeated by the
Michigan division of the L. A. W. The
suggested license was Jl and had It
not been for the members of the L.

carried.

JEFFRIES
STILL THE
CHAMPION
(Concluded from race 1.
each time by long 'range Bpnrrlng and
were In together again. They were
both fighting fast and hnrd. Suddenly
there was ft report of n. sharp blow
and Corbett dropped. The excited
spectators Eprang to their feet nnd
for a moment there wero roara and
calls. The confusion wae but momen
tary, however, and In n. silence that
wa3 most remarkable, the fallen fighter
was carried to his corner. Some ono
cnlled for cheers for Jeff, but the al
most sullen crowd refused to give
them. Then ft moment Inter when a
friend of Corbett put tho question 11
thousand throats echoed ft kindly re
sponse. What the Contestants Say.
Coney Island, May 11. "What is the
use of talking now?" said Corbett.when
seen In his dressing room after the
battle. "I lost, nnd although I don't
know how It happened, I guess It was
all right. 1 have no kick to make, but
would like to have another chance It
Mr. Jeffries will nccord me tho privi
lege, which I think nearly eveiy ono
who saw tho fight will say Is duo me."
Referee Charley White said: "There
was never a squarcr nor fairer ring
contest. Both men fought fairly, and
lived un to tho rules. From his show
ing tonight, Corbett has more than a
look In with the best of them."
Jeffries was very reticent. He said:
"Corbett gave me the best fight of my
career, and was really a surprise. I
thought I should have whipped him
sooner, and I think that I would have
had my left arm not given out early In
the fight. Jim gave me a game fight,
and I don't now wish to detract In tho
least from his credit, but I am still tho
champion, and will go along the lino
until I trim them all."
THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS.
first round JtCT foicea Jim, with Coibett
breaking Rruuml and sprinting. Ho firced Cor
bett to ropes, hiuling right to the body. Cor
bett st nt bard left to face and Jelf lands light
left. Corbett still shifty and bieaklnjr RroLiid
and hooked lift to nose. Ho kept up his sprint
ing nnd sent another lift to Jell's head; Jelt
trltd left and right, but CVrbett blocked clevir
1, and hooked another left to flee. Corbett
backed away and taiiUUzctl Ids opponent by his
clever movements Coibett hooks left to face;
Jelf then pint right to the body, and Coibett
rounteud with left nn head. This was Cor
bctt'rt round on oints.
ltound 2 Corbett was the quicker on his feet
and lindnl left on jaw; Jeff sent Corbctt's head
luck with Uft 011 head, but Corbett straightened
quickly and b.tked away. Corbett kept sprint
lug and hooked another left to face, but Jell
got back with hard right on the body. Cor
bctt's footwork was a puride to the champion,
but Jeff kept crowding in and landed left to
tho body which made Corbett more cautious.
Corbctt's footwork was wonderfully clever. Jeff
led ,to head, but Ccrbett crossed with a right
which sent the champion's head back. Corbett
made good work of his legs and danced away
from his opponent until the end of the round.
Round 3 Corbett again was the quicker nn
his feet. He booked light left to Jeff's head.
Jcif is cool and deliberate in his movements; he
guarded his face cautiously and forced Corbett
to make four circles of the ring, Corbett
feinted with Ids left, but did not land, and Jeff
sent right and left to body. Corbett tries twice
with left for body, but missed, and then they
exchanged light left on the head. Corbett
feinted again, but .left blocked and sent hard left
to body driving Corbett to ropes. Ccrbett en
deavored to feint Jeff out of position, but gat
a right in tho body for Ills pains. With a
quick movement Corbett sprung into his own
corner, where Jeff caught him, sending a stiff
left to the ribs iust as the gong rang.
Round 4 They rushed to a clinch, after which
Jeff hooked a left to head, Corbett tried a
right to the body, but fell short, but Jeff sent
Ids right over to the head. They sparred for a
(.poll witli Coibett breaking ground and then
Jeff foiced Corbett to the ropes, sending his left
to the body. A moment later he repeated this
blow and Corbett looked worried. At close quar
ters Jiff put his right to the head, and as they
broke he came back quickly with right to body.
Then a light nnd left from Jeff to the held
Jarred Corbett. Jiff followed up, with another
terrific hook on the reck, and Corbett was ey
tired when the hell rang.
Round 5 Corbett icsumcd the contest with
evident relUh, but he was ury anilous mean
while. Jeff got to him at close quaiters with
light left to liody and Coibett failed to replj.
Ccrbett feinted with bis right, but Jeff called
the bluff and booked his left to the bolj.
Corbett sparred cleverly, sending left to body,
and after a little shifty work hooked left twice
to head. Jeff attempted a left hook for the
jiw, but Corbett duckid it and tint another
left to the Jaw. Jeff then crowded in and
rushed Jim to ropes, putting left hard to the
body. Jeff forced the fighting nnd sent left to
faio and body with telling effect Jut b:forc
tho bell sounded.
Round (t-Corlxtt sprung to the renter of the
ring, but Jeff was riadv for liim. "Don't let
im get set," s-ud Ceorgo consiuine.
tin, Jim, he can't hit ou in a week." A
wateff
sec.
on I later Jeff led a Mralght left to the face.
Coibett made an ineffectual try for the head.
Three clinches followed with tho honors in Jef
fiic' favor, ard Corbett was compelled to shift
continually to avoid the chimpion's leids. Cor
!, unrieil his lens for safety to the end of
the round without having scored a Kinblarce
of a blov..
Round 7 They rushed to a clinch again, Jef
got light left on the wind. Again they went
to a clinch and in the break Jeff threw his left
nvir to the ribs; Corbett plaed for the body,
but Jeff called him and blocked neatlj. Jeff
tried left lend to head, which Corbett ducked
beautifully, but Jeff was bard after him and sent
right and left smashes to the body, which al
most sent Corbett off Ills feet.. Jeff next got
wild, swinging both hands to tho body, and
Corbett sprinted to avoid the punishment. Jeff
landed left and right to the body and Corbett,
after Jumping back, 'ran Into a straight left on
the fate. The round was altogether in Jeff's
favor, and Corbett seemed to be weakening at
the iloc.
Round S Corbett ruhed in wi'h a left to ths
body, which was blocked, and Jeff forced him to
ropes with right smaili to chest. Corbett
hooked left to head and Jeff countered to stom
ach. Corbett hooked left to head and got away
clean. Jeff made a bull rush. Bending his left

all three In tho smartest manner. Jeff kept
on forcing the pace and landed left on the
neck, Corbett countering with right hook to the
head. Corbett stepped In ond got in a corking
good right to tho ribs anil ducked Jeff's counter.
The bell found them sparring.
Round 0 Both led let's to head end clinched.
Then Corbett hooked left to tho head and swung

up with another light swing to the jaw, but
It was not so hard as the previous one. Jeff
camo In with a left to the body, and in tho
bieakaway Corbett swung a terrific right to the
Jaw, which made Jeff look very groggy. Cor
bett seeing the advantage put his left and lght
to head and hooked another haid left to the
Jaw. Jeff came back with hard left swing to the
head. Corbett was the cleverer in the exchanges
which followed, and he landed ids left with
provoking rigularity on Jeff's face, much to
tlm latter's detriment. This was certainly Cor
tctt's round and the bett of the fight thus far.
Round 10Corbett opened witli a left to the
nead and ducked the lclurn. Again he hooked
left to the car, but blocked Jeff's attempt for
the body. Jeff then wa on the aggresjlve, but
Corbett, quick as lightning, scut left and right
to the face and had the big fellow guessing be
foiu he knew where ho was at. Corbett kept
forclrg ,and v ith another left to the nose made
tho bollermaker'a rami organ bleed profusily,
Jeff was very wild, swinging at random, while
Corbett kept landing lift hard Jabs on neck and
fare. Jeff made several rushes, but to no pur
pose, and Onhett'a stock went boomlnj. Cor-
lmtt w.. Imidlv r1t.nr.i1 af 111 nS f flm vniinf
1 Round 11 Corbett opened with lcfc to th
body and Jef! rushed Mm to tho corner, but
failed to land effectively. He tried left swms;
for the head, but Coibett dodged It and sent
right and left to tho body. Corbett sent two
left Jibs to Jeff's mouth, bringing the blood
from the charrplon'i lips. Jeff sems to be
rattled at this stage, anil Corbett laund no dif
ficulty In getting his left to face. Jeff tried
several left swings, but Corbett got under them
and hooked his rlRlit hard over to tho body.
Twice Jeff Jibbed Coibett under tho Jaw. Cor
bett did not seem phased by this blow, and
walked to his corner smlllrg.
Round 12 Even money Is now the betting.
Jeff started out with left hook to head, but
Corbett ducked and a clinch followed. They
clinched thrco times without a blow, Jeff got
right to the body and left to cheat, Corbett
hooking straight left twice to the face, In a
breakaway Jeff tried a right swing, but failed
to land and Corbett Jabbed left tvvlco to face
without a return. Jeff assumed a more crouch
ing position than that which lie usually tMiimes,
but Corbett straightened him up with a right
on tho nose and a left on tho nose, which
brought tho blood more freely, but in a break
from a clinch Jeff crossed right to the head,
and at the close of tho round Corbett put a
light left to chest.
Round 13. Roth were careful. Jeff tried left
!ulf a dorcn times, but Corbett got out of
range. Jeff tried right again to held, but
Corbett shifted Inside of the lead and clinched.
Jeff hooked left to neck and rushed Corbett to
the ropes. Corbett came back quickly and
they clinched twice without doing any injury to
each other. Jeff made a bull dog rush, sending
left to body and right to tho head, putting Cor
bett to the ropes, staggering him. Jeff crowded
In and forced the pace, which was evidently too
hot for Corbett and the bell sounded none too
soon.
Round 14 Roth were fast in answering the
rong, each landing left, but they failed to land
and a clinch followed. In a breakaway Corbett
tried to send right over, but Jeff dodged it,
then Corbett sent two straight lefts to the
mouth,, and Jeff responded with hard left to
limly. Jeff sent a backhand left smash on Cor
bctt's face, and Coibett retaliated with a straight
left to the nose. Jeff bled copiously from the
nose, and Corbett sent two more lefts to that
organ, Corbett had the call at the end of the
round.
Round 13 Corbett was the aggressor, sending
left twice to the face. Jeff rushed, driving a
pile-driving right for the body, which Corbett
blocked cleverly. Then Cotbett hooked left to
the- neck, while Jeff tried three wild swing!
for the head. Jeff bored in, lut Corbett clucked
beautifully. At close quirtcrs Coibett tried to
evade a left lead for the head and slipped, but
although the blow landed, he recovered quickly
and stood upright and looked as If he should
have gone to the tloor. Corbetl's work was
wonderful and the Jeffries people looked wor
ried. Round IS Corbett was up on his toes at the
rail of time and sent left to Jeff's body. He
hooked light left to Jeff's face, but he received
a bard 6et back on the body from Jeff's right.
Corbett jumpid around as lively as a cricket,
and when Jeff missed a right swing he landed
left and right in Jeff's face. In a breakaway
Jeff put his right to the car, but Corbett coun
tered on the body. At close quirtcrs again Jeff
hooked right to the sido of the head and the
riferee was active fn separating them from a
clinch when the bell rang.

Plan to Borrow $15,000,000.

from New York that the Pennsylvania
Railroad company had arranged to bor
row the sum of $15,000,000 for one year
at i per cent., to meet the recent trans
actions In stock purchases, notably
that of tho Ions? Island railroad, was
denied today by Captain John P. Green,
first vice-president of the Pennsylvania
railroad, and by 'William A. Patton, as
sistant to the president. Mr. Cassatt
Is out of the city.
"I have not heard of the statement,
and I know of no such proceedings,"
said Captain Green. "Such a thing is
impossible and perfectly absurd on Its
face."
Despite Captain Green's denial, it Is
understood that negotiations have been
in projjress during the past Ave weeks,
It is said here the loan. has been placed
in New York with tho Chemical Na
tional bank as Intermediary at 4 per
cent., for one year, with the prlvilcce
of renewal for another year.
The Pennsylvania railroad, it Is
stated, will Issue debenture certificates
as security for it.
This proceeding, if it proves to be
true, is exceptional in the history of
tho Pennsylvania railroad. It Is be
lieved to have been rendered necessary
by the company's recent heavy outlay
in acquiring a stock Interest in the
Baltimore and Ohio to the extent of
104,000 shares, In Chesapeake and Ohio
88,000 shares, and a number In the Nor

CHINESE DELICACY,
Peanut Buds Rubbed Into Glngtv
Jelly at S10 Per Ounce.
"The Chinese liavo a strange Idea' ?f
tablo delicacies," says a -writer in tha
New Orleans Times-Herald. "A-few
days ago I received a small jar filled
with a pecullar'brownlsh paste, -which
was sent me as a present by a young
Chinaman who used to have a laundry
here, but is now living in San Fran
cisco, A letter whloh accompanied the
gift explained that the pasto was a
combination of peanut buds and ginger
Jelly. That sounds like a Joke, tout It
isn't. If you will break open the ker
nel of a peanut you will And at the
base a little cone-shaped formation,
usually surmounted by two microscopic
leaves. It Is the life germ, of the nut,
and if planted would develop into a
tree.
As my friend Wong explained to me,
the nuts are llrst roasted and then
these minute growths aro carefully ex
tracted. They are so small It takes
many thousands of them to till a tea
cup, but when a sulllclent number are
collected they aro put In a mortar and
ground Into a lino flour which Is sub
sequently mixed with the ginger Jelly
and rubbed down to a smooth pajte.
That sent mo was about the consist
ency of cream cheese, and it had a
peculiar aromatic taste thatwas rather
pleasant. It Is one of tho queer eeml
confcctlons that tho Chinese llko to
nibble at between couises, and as, It
costs $10 on ounce it is literally worth
utmost its weight in gold. I have eaten
tv little pf the preparation, but I don't
think I'm apt to acquire a taste for It,'
