Senegal, Africa, Raises Over 123,000 t Tons of Them Every Year— i What Becomes of Them. , If you like peanuts, the place for you is Senegal, Africa. Senegal is one of those places that is hard to remember, even after you have found it on the map, and many a “Fail- ure!” has old Senegal produced in schoo] days past and present. But the peanut gives it a sort of lifelike le@k, and should make it easier to remember, says an ex- change. The peanuts raised in Senegal in one year weighed more than 125,000 tons. France takes most of them. But thou. sands of tons go also to Holland and Germany. The little French and Dutch and Ger- man children do not, however, eat pea- nuts by the ton. Indeed, they hardly eat them at all. The peanut in those be- nighted lands Is turned into oil inste ad of being turned into hungry children. The only European country that treats | the Senegal peanut with pro dred tons out of Senegal but the nuts are packed carefully in bags, and are sold to confectioners, as they should be, They do not consume life so fast.

That Is What an English Court Hol : equest for Resignation of ' Bank Clerk to Be. ds The true meaning and effect of the words, “you are required to resign your appointment in the bank forthwith ” will never, we hope, have more than a speculative interest for our readers, but for the sake of gratifying natural cu- riosity on the point, it may be worth while to record a recent decision of the court of appeal as to the construction to be put upon the words, says the Bankers’ Magazine. In“Stephenson vs. the Lon- don Joint Stock bank, a clerk had been found to be concerned in a transaction in such a way as to meet with the bank’s disapproval, and the secretary sent him a letter worded in the manner described, whereupon he sent in his resignation. By the regulations of the bank, ’%sub- scribed to by every officer on adnyission to the service, pensions are granted on a certain scale, but no allowance what- ever is made to any opm dTsniryd from the reev!ece.~"fhe cle ye sued the bank for his pe onterding he had not been dismissed, ¥ut tha he had resigned. The court of ap$eal, hgvever, affirming the judgment of the crt be- low, held that the letter was a di Yssal, and that the use of polite instead Soer- emptory language in no way altc .he fact—a view which commends to common sense.

Retired Conductor Tells How the Thing Is Done by Inexperienced Brakemen. “mlat wheel,” growled the old retired conductor as the trolley car in which he sat went thumping along at 12 milesan hour, shaking the passengers uncom- fortably at every revolution of the wheels. “What males flat wheels?” asl.ed the man sitting next to the conductor. “Darn fools,” said the conductor. “It's this way; if a man doesn’t know how to stop his car he males a flat wheel. On the steam roads some brakemen flatten a wheel every time they put on a brake. When the wheel sud: denly stops revolving and the momen tum of the train carries it along the wheel slides along the track and a flat is started. Next stop makes it worse and so it goes until the wheel is no good If a brakeman knows his business he need never make a flat wheel unless he has to suddenly avoid an accident. If he keeps his wheels turning slowly they i don’t flatten. Now these fellows on the trolleys take no care at all, and every other car in some places has a fiat wheel.” Strange Fact. it is known that a person hunting in the winter time should be careful not to | deavors. run the muzzle of his gun into the snow, “rhe posesibitities for women in the fess. the end of the bore become filled |ife insurance are limitless,” said one ol with snow and the gun burst when fired.

No Other People Work with the Fevers ish Industry of Americans—Fact Saggests a Question. | : | We are the only nation of hustlers, and the idea suggests itself that all the rest of the world cannot be entirely wrong and we alone right in the con- duct and object of nfe, says the Hart- ford Times. The Germans and the French work for a certain number of hours with a steady but not a feverish industry, and then they enjoy them- selves in what we would consider a rather childish way. They gather in their cafes or beer gardens with their families and chat good-humoredly about trivial subjects. Even the Eng- lish, though abounding in physical en- ergy. take life easily. They seem to us to make too much of their leisurely game of cricket. But all these nations have accomplished great things, not only in science, art and literature, but in the material ad- vance of civilization. They do not ex- pend nervous energy as rapidly as we do, and in consequence the period of life work among their men is longer. have embou.ed their views of life in proverbs like these: “More haste worse speed.” ‘“He who goes slowly goes far.” “It's the pace that kills,” and others to the same purport, and proverbs are entitled to respect, be- cause they embody the wiseom of hu- manity. There is no proverb enjoin- ing the necessity of continuous rest- logs activity. HOW SHELLFISH TALK. Warn One Another of Danger by Weird Clicking Sounds, Says a Distinguished Naturalist, Most seamen will tell of curious click- ing sounds heard on calm nights at sea, and the origin of the noise seems so al- together unaccountable that it has often created some alarm among superstitious fishermen, says the Chicago Tribune. A distinguished naturalist made a care- ful study of the sounds on many occa- sions, and found that it was not a sus- tained note, but made up of a multitude of tiny ones, each clear and distinct in itself, and ranging from a high treble down to a bass. When the ear was ap~ plied to the gunwale of the boat the sound grew more inense, and in some places, as the boat moved on, it could aot be heard at all. On other occasions the sound resem- bled the tolling of bells, the booming of guns, and the notes of an Aeolian harp. For a long time he was unable totrace the cause, but at length discovered that the sounds were made by shellfish, hun- ireds of them opening their shells and rlosingthem withsharp snaps. The noise, partly mufled by the water, sounded indescribably weird. He was finally led to the conclusion that, as the shellfish counds, they probably had some nd that the clicks might possi- rning of danger when the r was disturbed by the boat. NG AND STOCKS.

Stock speculation, cn the tonirary, says Leslie’s Monthly, $s out the banner of respectability—which a great many unthinking persons have somchow come to confound with morality—and under its protection, carries on its traffic night and day, in city sireeisand village lanes, in parlor and beoudcir, in store and in factory—in short, wherever it can find a single human being possessed of this mania for getting something for noth- ing.

Fear or Microbes, Fear of microbes seems to have spread to the possessors of old furni- ture, which during a long life and un- known experiences may have collected the germs of disease. Recently a cau- tious lady in London who had been | studying the medical warnings inherit- | ed a Sheraton table. She would not ad- | mit it to her house, but sent it off to |a cabinet maker's with orders that an exact replica be made, the original ta- | ble being offered in payment. If this lady’s craze for new and innocuous fur- niture spreads there should be good times in store for the cabinet makers, as well as for collectors who prefer the risk of microbes to the certainty of thoddy Life Insurance Work =a Profitable | Field for Women, Says One En- thusiastie Feminine Solicitor.

OYSTERS REARED BY HAND. Has Been Successfully Accom=~ plished by Naturalist. Although many. attempts have been made up to a very recent date it has been impossible to propagate oysters artificially, but within the last year Prof. Julius Nelson, -biologist for the state bureau of shell fisheries of New Jersey, has succeeded in propagating oyster germs or seed, says the Chicago Chronicle. If a female oyster be jabbed with a knife in the right way the knife poiAt will be smeared with a milky-looking substance, in which by the aid of a microscope, can be seen tiny eggs hav- ing the general shape of minute oys- ters. If the same proceeding be -gone through with for the male and the two fluids mixed in salt water fertilization will occur in about ten minutes, and in about an hour the first development of the egg begins. After 24 hours the shells begin to come and the oysters are in a fair way to grow up. At the first impregnation, although many male sperms adhere to one egg. it is shown by the microscope that if more than one enters the egg a monstrosity results which will not develop. The great difficulty at present is to keep the minute oyster fry from es- caping from the sea water tank in which they are. enveloped, but this problem is in a fair way of solution, and the day may not be far off when the oyster can get his oyster seed in the earliest stages of its development MODEL FOR CLEANLINESS. Sidewalks of Juneau of Birchwood Six Feet Above Sea Level—Zero Weather Infrequent. Mr. John Johnston, a prominent gold mine operator and real estate dealer of Juneau, Alaska, is in the city visiting his cousin, John B. Martin, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. “Juneau, our beautiful, wealthy and charmingly located Alaskan capital, | rejoices in as good a government as there is on earth” remarked Mr. Johnston, “and in the six years that I have been there the thermometer has |* never registered as low as zero more, than four times, for we get the tem- porizing influences of the Japanese current. Our population is 3,000, and the city a modal of cleanliness. Our streets and sidgwalks are constructed of inch thick teugh-fibered birchwood plank, the latter raised six feet from the street level and slightly inclined to shed the water. The streets and sidewalks are flushed twice a week, and present a neat and unique appear- ance. Half a mile across the bay are the famous mining towns of Doug- lass and Treadwell, the latter with the largest stamp mill in the world. The mines there have paid $9,000,000 in dividends. The original surface ore only ran $3 to $4 to the ton, but now at 1,260 feet it 'is showing $39 to the ton. We raise splendid vegetables and in great quantities all about Juneau.” ENGLAND’S MOSLEM PEER. Lord Stanley the Only British Noble of That Faith—Had No Liking for Americans. By the death of Lord Stanley, of Al- derley, the British peerage lost its only vahometan member, says the New York Herald. The late baron was eccentric in many respects. He married a rich spaniard and had no liking for Ameri- cans. To him a few years ago was sent an nvitation to attend an Independence lay banquet in London. His reply was 18 fouaows: “lord Stanley presents his compli- nents to the secretary of the Ameri- an society, but cannot conceive Why ne should have been asked to a ban- quet to celebrate an unatoned rebel- lion.” Lord Stanley's funeral was a one- day wonder of the week. The ceremony was conducted according to the rights of Islamism. The interment took place in a plantation on the Alderley park estate, but even the servants of the house were kept in ignorance of the exact spot. "rhe service was performed by Rid- jag Effendi, imam to the Turkish em- bassy in London. Hamid Bey, of the Turkish embassy, was also present. The strictest secrecy was ohserved and pone but members of the family was present, SUPPLYING POLO PONIES. Some Sent from Colorado to Clubmen in India and Asia—HBroncos Do Good Work. . The business of supplying polo peaies to the crack clybs ot the big cities has grown to such an extent in Colorado that contractors now make tency terms every year furnishing trained animals to the wealthy patrons of the sport. Of late years there has been an attempt to raise the standard of polo ponies as to blood, says Out- doors. Excellent results have been achieved, and it is clain.ed that a well- bred pony, raised in the Rocky moun- tains and allowed to run until two years old ¢annot be excelled for polo pur- poses. Another good class is the bron- cho that has been trained to cattle work, A broncho of this sort is used for pick- ing certain cattle from a herd and to obeying almost every thought of his rider. This training is invaluable to the polo field, where a pony must act largely of his own accord. Consequent- ly many a cowboy, tempted by a good offer, has parted with his dearest com- panion, while the alert little broncho, that has spent; his early years nosing out cattle or in participating in the ex. 1 rut of woman's occupations in general “In life insurance a woman has the SUNDAYS EASTWARD—W EEK-DAYS i 2 $ $ luctor to receive or discharge passengers. tor to discharge passengers. juire of Ticket Agent. | 8 8 | 8 ae of SS GE SE SOs 565555555555 55555 5%%55535%%PULBIULLSS SRLS BLS 3 8 g Empire Bakery S.
