Peanuts are made Into a wholesome and nutritious soup, are browned and used as coffee, are eaten as a relish simply baked, or are prepared and served as salted almonds. Onions are almost the b&t nervine known. No medicine is so useful in teases of nervous prostration, .and there jis nothing else that will so quickly and tone up a wornout system. Onions are useful in all cases of coughs colds and influenza; in consumption, insomnia, hydrophobia, scuvy, gravel and kindred liyer complaints. Eaten every day they soon have a clearing and whitening effect on the complexion. Asparagus is used to induce perspiration. Carrots for nervous disorders and for scurvy. Raw beef proves or great benefit to persons of frail constitution, and to those suffering from consumption. It is chopped fine, seasoned with salt, and heated by placing It in a dish of hot water. It assimilates rapidly and affords the best of nourishment. Eggs contain a large amount of nutriment in a compact, quickly available form. Beaten up raw with sugar they are used to clear and strengthen the voice. With sugar and lemon juice the beaten white of eggs is to relieve hoarseness. Honey is wholesome, strengthening, cleansing, healing and nourishing. Fresh ripe fruits are excellent for purifying the blood and toning up the system. As specific remedies, oranges are aperient.

That Is Cefore Marriage, If You Would oen ' o her, ihe last being Harry G aB6P ’ of the Newlani division, w Q ° fe abjutto move to Illinois. a e Mi. Dabnoke is uow general -li M. aiflV.rH>«f Rrm College Avenue Baptist church, Indianapolis, In his sermon on "Whom to Marry. When to Marry, and the Wedding.” The Rev Quisenberry said that the young woman is usually responsible for the “swell” weddings. His remarks were sarcastic regarding such weddings, of which he disapproves. “Marry in one of the three places," said the preacher, “the church, the home of the bride or the home of the pastor." He concluded, says the Indianopolis News, by telling every young man in the congregation that he ought to be married.
Mark Twain and the Italian Verbs.
Examination and inquiry showed me that the adjectives and such things were frank and fair-minded and straightforward, and did not shuffle; It was the Verb that mixed the hands; it was the Verb that lacked stability; it was the Verb that had no permanent opinion about anything; it was the Verb that was always dodging the issue and putting out the light and making all the trouble. I had noticed in other foreign lan guages that verbs are bred in fam ilies. and that the members of each family have certain features or resemblances that are common to that family and distinguish it from the other kin, the cousins and what not. I hall noticed that this family mark is not usually the nose or the hair, so to sneak, but the tail—the Termination, and that these tails are quite de finitely differentiated; insomuch that an expert can tell a Pluperfect frop a Subjunctive by its tail as easily an' 1 as certainly as a cowboy can tell » cow from a hcrse by the like proccst. the result cf observation and cultu*--I should explain that I am speaking of legitimate verbs, those verbs which in the slang of the grammar are called Regular. There are others—t am not meaning to conceal this; others called Irregulars, born out of wedlotk, of unknown and uninteresting parentage, and naturally destitute of family- resemblances, as regards a” features, tails Included. But of th«»«e pathetic outcasts I have nothing to say. I do not them; 1 am prudishly delicate and sensitive ind I do not allow them to be n«md in my presence.—Mark Twain in Harper’s Magazine.
Peculfarities of Eyes.
bmnan eye In perfect condition to able to see objects separately that a** only one minute of arc apart. Put tw° Objects—as, for instance, two black fcfrfcles on a white ground—just one Inch apart and then'place them at a distance of about 2SGI4 feet. As seen with the naked eye the apparent space between the circles will be a iniDute of arc. This space is plainly the limit of detail visible*to the unassisted human eye. Now, it might be supposed that an Insect, having a compound eye, would be able to see more detail than we can do—in other words, could separate small objects closer Together. As a matter of fact, owing to the small aperture of the lenses composing the facets of the eye and the spacing between the facets, insects see less detail than we do. Dr. G. Johnstone Stoney calculated that a dragon fly cannot sec separately two objects which are placed less than one degree apart. In other words, to such ah insect two silver coins lying on a table three Inches apart and viewed from a distance exceeding fourteen and one-third feet would appear as a single object. Bees and flies, according to the same authority, are still more limited in their ability to see the details of objects presented to their eyes. A fly cquld only see the two silver coins above described separately at a distance not exceeding about seven sept.
The Stinging Tree.
The stingipg tree of faraway Queensland Is a luxurious shrub, pleasing to the eye, but dangerous to the touch. It grows from two or three Inches to ten or fifteen feet in height and emits a disagreeable odor. A traveler says: "Sometimes while shooting turkeys In the shrubs I entirely forgot the stinging tree till I was warned of its close proximity by its smell and have often found myself In a little forest of them. I was only once stung, and that very lightly. Its effects are curious. It leaves no marks, but the pain is maddening, and for months afterward the part when touched is tender in rainy weather or when it gets wet in washing, etc. I have seen a man who treats ordinary pain lightly roll on the ground In agony after being stung, and I have known a horse so completely mad after getting into a grove of the trees that he rushed open mouthed at every one who approached him and had to be shot. Dogs when stung will rush about, whining piteously, biting pieces from the affected part.”
The One Thing Lacking.
Emperor William 11. wrote a poem once which he submitted to a great literary man who dined at the castle for that purpose particularly. The eritic read it and found his dual duties In conflict. He had to advise an amateur poet with an exceptional power for resenting a hostile comment He yielded only a very little to the exigencies of the situation. “This verse, your majesty,” he began, “seems to require alteration in certain respects.” The author took the manuscript and conned it thoughtfully; then Ms brow cleared. “Why,” he cried, as one seeing a sudden light, “I have actually not signed the poem! Give me a pen!” And the only fault he saw in the work was forthwith remedied.
Diplomatic Corps Costumes.
An interesting fact not generally known in regard to the diplomatic corps is that a member of that august body cannot, under the penalty of official reprimand and danger of recall, appear at a fancy bail in the national costume. This fact was developed one evening when a large fancy ball was given at one of the private houses on the same evening of a presidential reception to the diplomatic corps. Those of the diplomats who attended the ball later In the evening were obliged to first change the court costumes worn at the White House. Inquiry on the part of curious friends developed the reason just stated.
A Kettle of Fish.
The phrase “a kettle of fish,” meaning an awkward entanglement, most probably has no connection with onr word kettle, a vessel in which water is boiled. It has been with much reason derived from the word "kiddle;** French "quidel,” a stake fence set In a stream for catching fish. Inspector Walpole reminds us that this kldellus net, or kiddle was mentioned in Magna Cbarta and in other early statutes. —London Standard.
The Joy of Life.
The true joy of life is the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap, the being a force of nature Instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. Bernard Shaw.
Confidences.
All confidence is dangerous if it is not entire. We ought on most occasions to speak all or conceal all. We have already too much disclosed our secrets to a man from whom we think any one Blngle circumstance is to be concealed.—Bruy ere.
Degenerating Luxury.
The luxury which is now regarded as a necessity is one of the evils which are undoubtedly tending toward the degeneration of all classes of English society.—Hospital.
Melancholy.
Hook—BJones is the most melancholy fellow I know. Nye—That’s quite true. He proposed to a girl once by asking her how she would like to be his widow. You will never find time for anything. If you want time yon must take It— Buxton.
