. EDUCATE-ID CHIMP'ANZEE.
He Smokes Cigars and Pipes and Has Other
Manlike “'ealmesses.

Professor Garner writes to Harper’s
Round Table that one of the most in-
telligent and 'quite the best educated
chimpanzee that: he has ever seen is
Consul II. The many feats 'done by
this ape would fill a small volume; he
has not been trained to perform them
as tricks, simply to amuse or entertain
visitors, but many'he has ltak _ p 01
his own accord, having seen. ‘do
set The feat that impressed me most
was his skill in hiding a. tricycle, and
his taste for that sport. He often
takes his machine without being told,
and rides all about the place; if he
finds it lying on one side, he sets it
upright, adjusts the handle bar;
mounts it, and takes a ride. He pro.
pels it with ease and guides it with

, dexterity. No boy of his own age can

handle it with more skill. He rides
all about the place, around the walks
and drives, all over several acres of
ground; he steers it around the posts
and corners, around- .the curves of the
paths, and makes his way through
crowds of people without colliding
with them. He amuses himself by
the hour at this pastime. .When he
tires of it he sometimes shoves the ve-
hicle up in some corner and leaves it.

Consul also smokes cigar, cigarette,
or pipe. He often finds a cigar stub
about rthe place, picks it up, puts it in
his mouth, and goes to his keeper for
a. light. One amusing habit he has
is that of spitting; he is not very
skillful in this, ’but is persistent. How-
ever, he has the politeness not to spit
on the floor; he spreads a piece of
paper on the floor, and uses it as a
ClltSpidOr.-

A Pretty Expensive Place to Live In.

A certain little girl has a. regular
weekly allowance, which her mother
uses,1'aot’her ingeniously, as a means of
correction. For every little naughtiv
ness this culprit is fined—in other
words, her allowance is diminished.
The other morning Miss Isabel was in
a peculiarly contrary m‘ood. She. 'did
something out of the way, and was
fined a cent. In a few minutes she
erred again, and a second fine was im-
posed. For the third time the offence

4 was committed.

“Now Isabel,” said her mother, “1
shall fine you two cents this time:
and, if you disobey again, I shall
make it three cents.”

“Oh, dear me,” sighed Isabel, “i
think this is a pretty expensive pluci1
to live in!” .

Vague Ideas Are Not Profitable.

This is the sort of ideas more or less
plentiful in your brain and mine, and
which we ought to get rid of if. we pos-
sibly can. Suppose, a block of marble
were placed before "you and you were
requested to make an image .0th of it,
could this block resist if you had the
inclination of cut-ting out the image?
It is by cutting and chiseli-ng that you
must bring the image out of it.
Neither can the child resist the chisel-
ing and moulding of the teacher. In
our schools the pupils do not always
get the sense of the thought we alt-
tempt to teach them. A child is often
given vague ideas when they should
be clear. Shadows, dreams, 'IIllIStS are
given him instead of real rtruths.

- The Illiteracy of Bil—la.

If the signing of prisoners in Si-
bcria did not enter the ear of the tsar
on his coronation day, it is possible
that there may yet come rto his mind
the thought that twenty millions of
his subjects are too illiterate to have
read the simplest account of the splen-
did ceremoni'al by which he was de-
clared the embodiment of authority
and the arbiter of good or ill to his
people.

POTENCY OF ‘THE PEANUT.

No One Would Think the Humble Gobbei
» so Important. ’

But little‘is known of the peanut out-
side of localities in which it is grown,
and even where it is most largely grown
its possibilities are for the most part not
at all realized, and it is not by any
means made to yield the highest results
it is capable of. Taking into account
all its sources of value, the peanut ought
to be one of the most profitable of the.
general farm crops in the South. The
following facts about it are in the main
condensed from abulletin of the United
States Department of Agriculture pre
pared by R. B. Handy of the Ofiice of
experiment stations. ,

The yearly production of peanuts in
this country is about 4,000,000 bushels
of 22 pounds, the bulk of the crop be
ing produced in Virginia, Georgia, Ten-
nessee, and North Carolina. These
4,000,000 bushels, while fully supplying
the present demand of the United

States, constitute but a small part of

the peanut crop of the world, as the ex-
portation from Africa and India. in 1892
amounted to nearly 4,000,000 pounds,
of which 222,000,000 pounds went to
Marseilles for conversion into oil.

The largest part of the American
crop is sold by street vendors, but
small amounts are used by confection-
ers, chocolate manufacturers, and for
the manufacture of oil. Peanut oil is
used for lubricating and soapmaking
and is a. good substitute for olive oil
for salads and other culinary purposes.
and as a substitute for lard and cotto-
lene in butter and cooking. The residue
from oil ' making, known as “peanut
cake,” is a highly valued cattle food in
the countries of Europe, and is also
ground into fine flour and used as hu
man food. It makes good soiip, grid-
dle cakes, muffins, etc., and is one at
the most nutritive of foods. The vines,
when dried, become a very nutritive
hay, readily eaten by stock, though re-
quiring care in the feeding, lest it pro-
duce colic.

The present uses of the peanut and
its products are likely to be greatly ex-
tended and new channels of utility be
found for it, as has been the case with
cottonseed. With better methols of
tillage and a. larger yield per acre, the
cost of production could be greatly less-
ened. According to the eleventh census.
the average yield of peanuts in the
United States in 1889 was 17.6 bushels
per acre, the average in Virginia being
about twenty, and in Tennessee thirty-
two bushels per acre. This appears to
be a very low average, especially as of.
licial and semi-official figures give fifty
or sixty bushels as an average crop, and
one hundred bushels is not an uncom-
mon yield.

While the peanut has been cultivated
in the United States to a limited extent

for a number of years, it is only since

1866 that the crop has become of primary
importance in the eastern section of

this country. which seems peculiarly

adapted to its production. Between
1865 and 1870 the rapid spread of the
culture of peanuts was phenomenal.
Each year doubled, and at times in-
creased threefold its crop over the pre-
ceding year, so that this country, from
being a large importer of West African
nuts, was soon able to supply the do-
mestic demand with the home-raised
article.

.Virginia, North Carolina and'Tennes-
see produce a large part of the peanut
crop of the United States. Within the
last few years this crop has ceased to be
as profitable as heretofore. The method

- of culture—the annual planting of nuts

on the same land, the lack of proper ro-
tation of crops, the complete removal of
all vegetation from the land, and the
failure to replenish the soil by means of
fertilizers—has been a great factor in
reducing the profits of the crop by re-
ducing the ability of the land to pro-
duce such crops as were previously se-
cured in that section, so that now, in-

stead of an average of fifty bushels per ,

acre, with frequent yields of over one
hundred bushels, the average in the
peanut sections is not over twenty bush-
315, while the cost of cultivation has
been but slightly reduced.

As regards food value, peanut ker-
nels, with an average of 29 per cent. of

' protein, 49 per cent. of fat, and 14 per

cent. of carbohydrates in the dry ma.-
terial, take a high rank, and should be
classed with such concentrated foods as
soja beans and cottonseeds. The vines
are shown by experience to be superior
to timothy hay as a feeding stuff, and
but slightly inferior to clover hay. The
f00d value of the hay is, of course,
higher the greater the percentage of
nuts left on the vines in harvesting.

The hulls also appear to possess considz

arable value as a feeding stuff, being
much richer in valuable food censtitu-
ents (protein, fat and carbohydrates)
than cotton hulls, which are extensively
used in some localities in the South as a
coarse fodderand about equal to the
poorest grades 01? hay—Boston Herald,

THE EVENING on Z’EFETTEI

.- . \ .
TWO GALLANT PIREMBN.
They Make a Thrilling Rescue at a Blue
. In New York.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—Thomas Kerri-
gan of hook and ladder company No. 14
and John Lutz of engine company No.
36, at a fire in the four story building
2365 Third avenue, at 7 a. m., rescued
one of the inmates at great danger to
themselves. The building is occupied on
all the floors, with the exception of the
upper one, by G. Gruhn, a baker and con-
fectioner, the top floor being tenanted by
William Staub and his family. When the
firemen arrived, the flames had made rapid
headway. It was supposed at the time

that every one in the building had made

his escape, but to the surprise of every-
body William Thompson, who occupied a
room on the top floor, appeared at the
front window. He was about to jump to
the street, but was prevailed upon to wait
for help.

Kerrtgan and Lutz made their way to a
three story structure adjoining the burn-
ing building, the top of the cornice of
this building being on a level with the
lintel of the window of Thompson’s room.
Standing (in the edge of the cornice, Ker-
rigan placed his right foot on the lintel
and seized the window casement with his
right hand. Lutz also stood on the cor-
nice edge and pressed his weight against
his comrade, thus aiding him in retaining
his perilous position. Kerrigan then re
leased his hold of the casement, seized
Thompson and swung him over his head
to Lutz, who grasped him and threw him
on to the roof. Lutz then aided Kerrigan
to regain the roof of the smaller house
amid the cheers of the crowd.

 

‘Dr. Henry Dies of His \Vounds.

DUNCANNON, Pei Sept. 30.—Dr. George
S. Henry, who was shot by Dr. T. L. J obn-
ston, is dead. The injuries of Mrs. John-
ston, who was also shot by her husband,
are not serious, and she will be able to be
about in a few days. Dr. Johnston has
been lodged in jail at New Bloomfield,
charged with murder. The doctor has been
melancholy ever since the death of two
children, which occurred last spring. He
has been drinking heavily,and it is thought
the two combined unbalanced his mind
and led to his crime.

it would be juster if
‘ a fine mind was the

a fine face and figure.
But you can’t change
human nature.

although we can’t

When the eyes are
dull, the lips pallid,
the skin sallow,
blotchy or pimply
the figure thin and
wasted or overstout
and uh raceful, the
trouble is something
more than mere. out-
ward appearances; the inner‘condition is
wrong; the blood is poor; it lacks the pure
nourishing "qualities which are needed to
vitalize and invi orate the body. In this
use physical activity is largely a. question
of pure, rich, red blood.

You can’t have sparkling eyes, red ripe
lips, a clear rosy complexion and a graceful
symmetrical figure while the blood remains
impure and-impoverished. . What is needed
is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery to
cleanse foul huinors out of the blood, and
