A HEN' S WAGES.
Congressman E. J. Hill insists that
the Philippine tariff bill will not. t‘Olll-
' pill the farmers of Connecticut to com-
pete in the tobacco growing industry
with the three cents a day labor of the
Philippine Islands. ,
Three cents a day is reggred from
the standpoint of tobacco industry an
"pauper" wages
it's the same pay a Connecticut for
mer’s hen gets for a day's work when
eggs are 36 cents a dozen.
Congressman illll insists that he
doesn’t stand for this scale of wages
for a Connecticut man. ,
Even a hen gets five cents a day
part of the year, beating the Filipino
by 2 cents.«l\'cw ilaveu lwadcr.
A good many things for less useful
than swimming are taught to the chil~
drop at public expense. The June
report of the Volunteer life-Saving
of the United States, shows that in
that month no less than 1.1176 persons
in the United States lost their lives by
drowning. The July list was doubb
less as large. These lists an: neces-
sarily incomplete, and particulars are
meagre. but beyond question a large
percentage of the lives lost could
have been saved if the victims, had
known how to swim, or if those who
witnessed the fatalities had possessed
the same accomplislnucnt. if the sim-
‘ "pie art was not so generally neglected
there would be no such mortality from
drowning} A swimmer can not only
save his own life, but preserve that of
others; and few circumstances are
more and than those where one who is
unable to swim is the. helpless witness
of the drowning of a friend or rela-
tive. It will probably fall of getting
Into the curriculum. but still, every
child should be taught how to swim.
BETTER RAILTROAD CONSTRUC-
lON .
An Effo-rt Made to Extend Life 07
Railroad Tics.
‘Atest of a change in railroad con-
struction. which eventually may be
universally adopted, is being made on
the tracks in front‘ of the South Nor-
walk depots. The innovation pertain-s
toztbe ties and the method of fasten
ing the rails to them.
in the first place, the tics, instead of
being put down in their natural state,
are treated with a process of creosote
aifter the manner of wood blocks for
paving. The life of an ordinary tie is
about seven years. but treated with
the creosote solution. it, is claimed that
they will last for forty years. Ties
' and theirreplacing being a big item
of expense, this is a matter worthy
of serious consideration.
Instead of the old driven spikes
, their“ successors are really big headed
screws. which are fastened through
'fish plates to the ties
The fences in host of the depots
" are also being rebuilt.

“GOODIRS” A GREAT CROP.
Growing Peanuts a Big Industry—-
North Carolina the Leader.
Seven million bushels of peanuts
are consumed annually by the people
in the cities ofAmerica and the largest
profit. from the crop goes to the farm-
ers of 'North Camila; this state out-
ranklng all others in peanut acreage
and production, says the Raleigh News
and courier. The palatableness of the
peanut has caused its spread, and it
has high commercial value as a in:-
ury and as a food. Originally the food
value of the “goobcr” was known
chiefly to the slave dealer, before the
Civil War, but today it is celebrated
- not only by the‘cil‘filifl crowd and the-
atre gallery complement. but unlvcr»
sally is a favorite nut. its uses are
multitudinous, and the culture of this
crop brings handsome returns to the
grower.
A bulletin of the department of agri-
culutre on “‘I’eauut Culture" snys, in
part: "The peanut is a native of Bra-
zil, although authorities have. cndcav~
ored to trace its origin to the Eastern
Hemisphere. it was known to plant‘
era of the old country at an curly date,
having been used as a staple food on
board the slave ships In lilI' trade with
America. It was illti‘l'idlltli‘tl into
North America soon after colonization,
but it was not until about the close
of the war between the states (but it
began o spread ihroughou the Smith
and become of importance as it rotu-
nierciui crop. It was carried to va-
rious parts of the country by the solo
diers traveling throughout tinI peanut
sections of North Carolina and “with
in. They found how good it was to
cut and planted them on their own
farms. From this the cultivation of
peanuts hogan to spread, until today
they are grown in nearly all of the
Southern states and several of the
\‘l'csiern states.
“Peanut oil ranks next to olive oil
as a desirable oil for domestic use.
Wherever it can be had at a sntllcient-
iy reasonable price, It is used instead
of olive and other oils and fats for
cooking, preparation of salads, etc.
On account of the high price of the
peanut, the. manufacture of peanut
oil has Iiot succcedmi in this country,
tliougb it. is made. in considerable
quantities in foreign countries. When
the oil is pressed from the nuts, ocu-
nut cake, which Is ground to make
peanut meal, is left and is a highly nu
tritous anti valuable food for both
human and animal consumption It is
largely used in some countries as a
human food. it contains bl) or more
per cent. of protein, which is the most
costly constituent in food and enables
it to lake largely the. place of meat."

OLD VIOLINS.
At a recent sale in huntion a violin
by Antonius Stharivarlus, with the
original label dated 1088. went for
341,625—not an out-of—the-way price, as
there are always wealthy enthusiasts
eager to buy such instrumenti'ii‘ Vio-
lins have a strong fascination. not only
for violinists, but also for others who
have neither ear nor skill. Gillatt,ths
Birmingham penmakor. left a fine col-
lection; and it is hard to say whedier
the player or the non-playing collector
adores them most. The violin has lit-
erature all to itself, with a monthly
journal, and anecdotes of all kinds. of
course, abound. it was a young
gentleman about to scrape his catgut
at an evening party who said to his
boat, in tones duly befitting the grav-
ity of the communication: “Do you
know, sir, my fiddle is 200 years old?"
“Never mind." said the old gentleman
kindly, on whom the information was
lost. “Never mind; i dare say no
biody will notice it."--Dundee Adver-
