"A good many are grown in Tennessee, too ; but the cen tral point of the peanut raising busi ness, which is one of the greatest in dustries of the State, though of very recent, is at Norfolk. Va. In old times fifteen years ago all the pea- nuts were imported, from Africa. The African peanut was small and round, the shell containing usually but a single kernel. The American peanut is simply the African nut modified by the conditions of the soil in this country. The best peanuts are nana picked : others are thrashed out like grain. In Norfolk there are several factories where peanuts are prepared for the market. They are first thoroughly cleaned and then sorted. The bad ones are picked out by young girls, who .stand 'oh either side of a wide revolving belt on which the nuts are thrown. After ward they are packed in bags and shipped to the market. Peanuts hav& become a recognized article of commerce, and are quoted every day on 'Change like corn or wheat. They sell wholesale at from 3i to 5 cents a pound. Best band picked bring about 5 cents usually. Spanish pea- nuts, an imported arucie, senior high price frequently as much as 20 cents a pound. Peanuts are largely used to make alleged olive oil. Not m re than a fourth part of the olive oil made m this country is real; gen erally it is made either of peanuts or cotton seed. The only way to distm ;uish peanut f roni olive oil is to pour nitric acid into m. The peanut or cot ton seed oil will char, but the real olive oil will not. Most of the peanuts grown in Africa nowadays to Marseille's ""and expressed The latter is sold as a low olive." are sent for oil. grade of LADIES' MERINO VESTS at " all wool $ .SO ! .75 : 1 00 1.25 1 50 i 1.75 I The best stock of- 4VDIBS' AJD CHILDRESS HOT , ' " In the city. . - Children's Ribbed Hose from 12c up.

Now that the trees are bare of their foliage ' the much abused English sparrow is putting in his wore: as general scavenger of the larvae of noxious .insects aepositea on their branches and under the bark during the summer and autumn- months. But it is only when snow covers the ground that the plucky self-supporting little bird is most active. In the absence of all other food he is then compelled to forage on the bare limbs and bark for his living, and he does it energetically and effectually. Please bear in mind that the spar row does his work in the winter, and does ic so effect'Uallv that there is lit- tie left for him to do in the summer months, which he devotes mainly to recreation and enjoyment.

The report of Civil Engineer Men- ocal, of the'navy, who was "sent last December to Nicaragua to make a resh survey of the route lor the proposed inceroceanic canal through that State, is a compendium of care fully ascertained facts which Con gress, if it sees fit to go into canal makinsr. mav studv to ereafc advan- tJ' , ml CD age. A result of the new : survey has been to cause a different location of parts of the line of transit hitherto recommended by the friends of the gua enterprise, the changes beinir of a cfcsroctt-r to lacihtate the work of ccli&truction. The total length of the . line, as amended, from Grey town to the Caribbean sea, to Bnto, on the Pacific, is 169 8 miles, of which 38.98 miles will be excavat ed canal and 130.82 miles will be navigation upon Lake Nicaragua, the river San Juan, the basin of the river San Francisco and seven locks. Lake Nicaragua, which is about , 90 miles long, will be connected with the Pa cific by a canal over the same route substantially as was proposed in Mr. Menocal s previous plan. The lake will be connected with the Atlantic by slack water navigation in the riv er San Juan by a short section of canal from the San Juan to the basih of the river San Francisco, and finals ly by a section of canal connecting this stream with the Caribbean. The easternmost division, which is 19i miles in length, and comprises 63 per cent of the total excavation . of the ! canal, is upon an entirely new loca tion. ; Striking eastwardly from a southern extremity of a lake propose d to be formed in the valley of the San Francisco, the canal will ; cross the divide to the valley of the Desea do," and following its bed a short dis tance will reach lock No. 3 at a' point 14,200 feet distant from the canal level on the other side. The average depth of cut for this distance is 119.5 feet in addition to the "depth of cut roper to the canal. The summit evel extends from lock No. 3 west wardly across Lake. Nicaragua to lock No. 4, a distance of 144 8 miles. At lock No. 3 there is a drop of 53 feet through the solid rock. Follow-i ing the valley of the Deseado east ward for 5,200 feet the canal reaches lock No. 2, where a drop of 27 feet is effected. Following still the slope of the valley for 1,500 feet, the canal at lock No. 1 by a fall of 26 feet sinks to trje sea levei, ana traversing a aisss tance of 6,100 feet, reaches the sea at own. it win be observed that ship ap'proachins?'- the; yfanal 1 ffoffi the Atlantic side vvill lifted 106" feet by three locks to th3 level of Lake Nicaragua, and from the western side of that sheet of water will der scend the same distance through fou? locks to the Pacific The failure of the Suez canal to accommodate more than 6,000,000 tons- of shipping per year has caused the projectors to en large the prism of the Nicaragua ca nal to accommodate a traffic of 12,s 000,000 tons per annum. The canal is to have a depth of from 28 to 30 feet, and 80 feet of breadth of bottom the locks being 650 feet long and 65 broad. The time required for a ship to pass from Grey town to Brito is estimated at 80 hours Thirty-two vessel 3 can traverse the canal in a day. or 11,680 a year, which, at the average tonnage of the vessels pass ing the Suez canal, makes possible an annual traffic of 20,440,000 tons. The cost of the construction and equipment of the canal is estimated at $51,234,958. or adding 25 per cent tor contingencies, $64,043,697. It is thought that the work of construe. tion could be brought within the short period of six years. One's IjOss is Another's Gain.

He held that two anplications filed on the same day were cotemporaneous, and the matter should be determined by interference proceeding, but the then commissioner of patents. Gen.
