The peanuts raised in Senegal In one

The little French and Dutch and Ger
man children do cot, however, eat pea

them at all. The peanut in those be
nisited lands is turned into oil instead
of being turned into hungry children.
The only European country that treats
the Sitical peanut with proper respect
& Errand. It taiies less than a hun
rired tons out of Senegal but the nuts
aix-j silked carefully in bags, and are
sold to confectioners, as they should be,
instead of to oil makers.
Senegal also raises great quantities
of that typical Arabian Nights grain, se

STARTING IN HOUSEKEEPIlfO.

A curious story concerning an easy
sathra of starting In housekeeping
r?.mea from Jefferson county, says th
r; tic Journal. A Watertown woman
rns a house in a small village and oc
ni id It prior to May 30 last, but on go
Ir k that city to live she locked It op
;&riag the furniture inside. A few dayi
at he went to the village to see how
!hr yrnperty was getting along, anc
yr "Uf Xi UiT surprise she found that th
tn-BttKr iad disappeared. A little later
while looking around In the vicinity, sh
ar.:- a brand new pump, which she had
T-iit;y purchased, in the well on tht
prmaMHt of a neighbor. Following ui
this clew, she called at the house, and
there found her entire outfit of furniture
r-HTit and dishes. The dwelling wm
toccuiuai by a man and his wife who had
Xeea zwrrled only a couple of weeks, and
11m forifcer said he had found tbe houaf
of tbe TVatertown woman open, and, be
tt&viMg that the owner would not object
be had borrowed the goods. He was evl
decsr xepentant, readily returned th
Swnitare, and paid the woman 110 fot
its vaa. This seems to be an Instance
wfcore housekeeping Is one thing and
furniture keeping another.
A QUEER BELIEF.
The Place ot Torment to Which Wicked
HadtlbUts Are Consigned.
The place of torment to which nil
wicked IJuddhists are to be assigned on
the day of final reckoning- is a terrib'e
place of punishment. The Uuddhistv
hell is a sort of apartment house, di
vided into eight "easy stages." In the
first the poor victim is compelled to
walk for untold nges in his bare feet
over hills thickly set with rod-hot
needles, points upward. In the second
stage the skin is carefully filed or
rasped from the body and irritating
mixtures are applied. In the third
stage the nails, hair and eyes are
plucked out and the denuded body
sawed and planed into all sorts of fan
tastic shapes.
The fourth stage is that of "sorrow
ful lamentations." In the fifth tbe l"fi
side of the body and the demidi d h-.-Hi
are carefully roastei Yonia. the lliu!
dhist Satan, superintending the work.
In the sixth stage the arms are torn
from the body ai il thrown into an im
mense vat among the eyes, nails an 1
hair previously r moved. Tn i.-!

the whole horrid n:nss is poumh d into
jelly. In tbe sevrr.th stage the oth.r
side of the victim and his feet ar" ra -l-ed
brown and then conies the eighth
and last stage, in which the canflirlnt'1
is thrown into the bottomless pit of
perdition.
PREVENTIVE AGAINST CCLDS.
German'!i Novel Method of Koep'.n the
Feet Warm la Cold WcMithcr.
Warm feet during wet weather are
the best preventive again si : x-nlifd

the heel of the &iioe, which is hollowed
out, there is u receptacle for a glewhig
substance, similar to that used in the
Japanese band-warmers. Iletweer. the
soles, imbedded in asbestos rovers, there
Ls a rubber bag, which is filled with -water.
The water is heated above the
heel, and as it circulates while the
wearer of the shoe is walking it kcps
the entire nether surface of tbe foot
warm. A small safety valve is provided,
and the bag cannot burst. The warmth
pivpn by this sole never rises above
70 degrees Fahrenheit, and wiil la:;f for
alout eight hours. The shoes are little
heavier than ordinary ones, and the
sole is but slightly thicker than that of
the so-called wet weather boot.
KOVEL TEST OF DEATH.
The D-rlce of a Freaeb I'hyslcian
Waiea I earns to Do Away wl
All DmH.
Horror of being buried! alive is com
mon to tiie whole human race, and
from time immemorial experiments
have been in progress with the view of
making such a terrible fate impossible.
Some physicians maintain that satis
factory tests can alto be nuide by the
use of Roentgen rays, but it i not
everyone who has the facilities for
making such teste, whereas any
one can make a test on t-he plan de
vised by Dr. Icard, a physician of Mar
seilles, France. The doctor u.es fluo
rescin, the well-known coloring nieteri
al, and his experiments .have proven
so successful that they have won for
him the approval of the French Acad
emy of Sciences. Fluorejtcin injected
into the human body produces abso
lutely no effect if the body is dead,
whereas it produces a most surprising
effectif the body i alive. Dr. Icard
uses a solution of it which is so strong
that a single gramme is able to color
40,000 quart of water.
If a little of this solution is injected
under the skin of a living person in two
minutes the skin, and especially the
mucous membranes, will become much
discolored, and the person will present
the appearance of one suffering from
an acute attack of jaundice. More
over, the eyes will become of a green
ish color and the pupils will also be
come invisible. These symptoms will
remain for one or possibly two hours
and then will gradually disappear.
Since fluorescfc produces this effect on
a living body it naturally follows, ac
cording to Dr. Icard, that any body on
which it produces no effect must be
dead.
mpowdtf Beoa In Use for Cn-
trtos Kiowo to Btadooe Do
lore Birth of ChrUt.
There is abundant evidence that the
origin of gunpowder and artillery goes
far back into the dim. ages of the past.
The Hindoo code, oomplled long bp
fore the Christian era, says Stray Sto
ries, prohibited the making of war with
cannon and guns or any kind of fire
arms. Quintus Curtius met with fire
weapons In Asia, and Philostratus says
that Alexander's conquests were ar
rested by the use of gunpowder.
It ls also written that those wise men
who lived in the cities of the Ganges
"overthrew their enemies with tem
pests and thunderbolts shot from the
walls." Julius African us mentions
shooting-powder in the year 275. It was
used in the siege of Constantinople In
668, by the Arabs in 690. at Thessalonica
In 904. at the siege of Belgrade in 1073.
by the Greeks in naval battle in 1008,
by the Arabs against tbe Iberians In
1147, and at Toulouse In 1218.
It appears to have been generally
known throughout civilized Europe in
1300, and soon thereafter It made its way
into England, where It was manufac
tured during the reign of Elizabeth; and
we learn that few arms were possessed
by the English In 1310, and that they
were used at the battle of Crecy in 1346.
MAY DESERT LONELY ISLAND.
InhablUati of 9. Kllda, of Hebrides
Group, Said to Be Planning Mi
gration to Sooth A fries.
That lonely island. St. Kilda, one of the
loneliest of the Hebrides, is likely to be
left lonelier still in the near future. Its
Inhabitants, it is reported, propose de
serting the island and emigrating to
3outh Africa. This is not much to be
wondered at, for St. Kilda is one of the
most inaccessible islands in the world
only four times a year, once a month
in June. July, August and September,
does a steamer call from Glasgow. For
the rest of the year the inhabitants are
entirely cut off from the outer world.
Their special mail Is in a tin box, into
which they put letters, toss it into the
sea and trust to Providence and favor
able winds to carry It to the shores of
the outer Hebrides. The population of
the Island has gradually dwindled to li.
The last time there was a great exodus
was when 36 islanders left in a search
for gold in Australia. ST"
Sugar and ColTee for Soldlere.
The British government has decided
to be more liberal with its soldiers and
sailors in giving them sugar and coffee.
Among the experts in such matters the
belief has been gaining ground for years
that moderate allowances of sweet
stuff and cf the Arabian berry are ben
eficial to strong, healthy men who are
called upon to perform heavy tasks and
endure hardships, while the entire med
ical profession appears to be inclined to
the theory that weak and feeble men,
women and children should, as a rule,
refuse such Indulgences.
" GET SEASICK IN A HOUSE.
Fecal tar Effect of Attempts to Walk'
in Storiu-Deaten Ilulldinur
Floors W ere Solid, Too.
At a recent mee' of the Women's
Literary club of Baltimore Mrs. Charles
C. Morgan read a paper in which she
cited a peculiar but well-authenticated
fact cGiictrDir-g scree sionu-btattn
houses on Cobb's island, off the eastern
coast of Virginia. The houses were
eventually washed away by the en
croaehmsnto of the sea, but for a long
time they were firmly imbedded in the
sand at such an ancle that the wanderer
?ould walk in the second story windows
from the bluff, while the floors all slant
ed at an acute dpgfree.
There waa not the slightest danger at
tendant upon walking up or down these
floors, yet no one wa ever found who
could traverse their length without be
coming seasick. Experienced sailors,
who knew no qualnrs in midocean,
turned faint and giddy on trying to
walk these perfectly steady planks. To
all the neighborhood the buildings were
known as the "seasick houses," and that
the scas.ickr.css was not due to imagin
ation was proved by persons who never
had heard of the tradition experiencing
the same unpleasant results.
Mrs. Morgan, who resided on the
mainland near by, concluded her ac
count of the houses by saying that a;
small dog belonging to her husband j
which followed that gentleman "foot to
foot," as the negroes term it, never;
could be induced to follow his master
across the mysterious thresholds, be the
command ever so peremptory or the in
ducement ever so strong. 1
Salvationist Who Ue a Orapbophone la
Preaching.
Hie most up-to-date religious organi-1
zation, the Salvation Army, vvhieh never j
misses an opjwrtunity of exciting the i
curiosity and interest of the crowd, has
secured theservicesof thegraphophono,
says the New York Press. There an;
many thousands of villages and small
towns all over the country where such
a machine haa never been heard, and
where its introduction is calculated to
evoke astonishment and delight.
The graphophone consists of a large j
born and stand which will enable an au
dience of from 400 to 1,000 persons to
hear a song as distinctly as if sung by
the individual, and its accessories com
prise IS records, including an address
by the commander, and also one by the
consul, and 10 army songs, band se
lections, etc.; IS blanks by which home
records can bu nicde; a traveling case
to carry 30 records, and, finally, three
hearing tu's. A full meeting similar
to those held in New York and London,
with complete band accompaniment,
will le given by the aid of the maehim .
When a detachment strikes a village
that it has been decided to capture, the
soldiers will proclaim in every direc
tion the marvels of the seance that is to
be held, and the curiosity of the inhabi
tants having been aroused, they may
be counted upon to appear in full force
at the place and time appointed.
The machine will do the rest, even
nsk'ng for the collcn tion. Thru thevil
l;igrs v. ill sit in amazement ami liste'i
