" , . Misuse of Flowers.: One well established, but awkward, justom in connection with the inaug uration of public officials' is the .in cumbering of desks with flowers, often put together in the form of horseshoes, wreaths or other designs; To the thoughtful person this seems a silly practice. . The average man is as much out of place with a bouquet as a woman with a cigar. ' Watch the next f man you see in a parade who has flowers in his hands, especially if he Is mounted, and observe how utter ly ill at ease' the floral handicap mates him appear. In many instances the flowers sent to public officers come from nfen or companies " that expect to askand receive favors, to estab lish the idea of, being generous and thoughtful with the hope that the sen ator, alderman or whoever the re cipient is, may be approached when his help the ice.' is needed without "breaking At least one Providence official received flowers at the City Hall yesterday from a citizen wnose requests for special attentions -have nade office-holding burdensome toj the ecipient for many months.

There are , reports f a wonderful new kind of peanut, called the Japan ese white mammoth, grown in Mata gorda County, Texas. It is of giant size, and is said to yield eighty-seven barrels to the acre. One reason for being interested in this news Is the fact that the peanut crop of the old time peanut 'growing: region of the South has been diminishing alarm ingly of late yearsi large areas that formerly produced from fifty to 100 bushels an acre now yielding not more than twenty bushels. The' cause of the trouble is. careless farming- neglect to fertilize the soil, and lack of rotation of crops. Virginia. how ever, still has ah annual output of something like 3,000,000 bushels; Ten nessee and North Carolina-come next. The finest peanuts In the world come from Virginia, and in that State is the greatest peanut market, at Nor folk, where a number of large "fac tories," in which" the newly gathered 'sobers' as they come in, from the rural districts, are winnowed ' and screened to clean them, and' sorted and shipped to Jobbers in other! cities. It Is now believed that the peanut was originally a native of Brazil, and that it should properly make a fifth in the list of plants of great commercial im- portance credited to America, ! the others .being the potato, tobacco. maize and cotton. As far back as the seventeenth century it was extensive ly cultivated in the old world, and had become such an important article of food In Africa that the slave dealers loaded their vessels with it, using lit as provender for their cargoes of cap tives. African peanuts, -which are small and nearly round, and contain a single kernel, used to be Imported . ... . T "I . - largely into tnis country, out ,i tney nave oeen driven out Dy our superior variety. However, the African 1 nuts contain a greater percentage of oil, for the sake of which immense quan titie3 of them, mostly raised in Sene- gambia and alons the east coast, are snippea to Marseilles tor conversion into pure "olive oil." The poorer peanuts are employed for soap the residue, after pressing, is known as "cake," and brings $30 a ton as cattle fodder, and the shells are utilized as material ior paper, ivecent experi ments by dietic experts have shown tiiat one pouna or peanut meaij con tains nearly as rnucn nutriment as three pounds of lean beef. The meal. which is obtained by grinding , the "cake," costs four cents a pound in bulk, and the Germans have prepared from it several agreeable articles of diet such as "peanut grits" and "pea nut flour," this latter being ground and bolted like ordinary flour. Palatable crackers have also been made fro n this crude byproduct of the oil mill. Philadelphia Post The Care of Fish. Fish should be allowed a gallon of water each, that isf for every fish of medium size, say three inches long. The bottom of the aquarium should be covered one-half inch deep with sand; there should be water-plant enough to furnish the fish with oxygen and ab sorb the carbonic acid, and also a few tadpoles and snails to act as scaven gers. These conditions are for a self sustaining aquarium, where no change of water is necessary. If, on fhe con trary, the fish are kept in a globe, say of half gallon to two gallons capacity," with four or five full grown 'fish, at least half of the water must be changed daily. If "the fish are but half an Inch or two inches long, and each one has a half gallon of water, water need be added only to replace the loss by evaporation. Whenever the fish come to the surface it indicates that the water, or part of it at least, should be freshened. They should be fed each day only as much as they eat up clean. -Indianapolis News. "Beefi Lemons and Cheese." Cecil Rhodes was greatly- amused some time ago when he was coming home, from the Cape on a Castle liner. While passing Cherbourg several ves sels of the French channel squadron were drawn up in line to salute the ex Empress Eugenie's yacht. The French men, who were spread out on the yards of their vessels, shouted "Vive rimper-. atrice." The Castle liner's captain, wishing to show his respect to the Em press, got his men ready to salute, but in Nthe short time at his disposal he could not school his crew to repeat the French words. Tell them to iay - VBeef, Ienions and cheese,", said Rhodes." play fully, and to his utter amazement the yacht was greeted with with a deafen ing yell of "Beef, lemons and cheese I", which entirely drowned the voices of the French sailors. The ex-Empress is stated to have expressed great pleasure at' the compliment afterward. " ' ' : ' - : ... ' V ' . .

The retention of the cake signifies "ac ceptance," but if, it is flung back with force, it signifies "rejection."
