For the good of the Peanut Industry, It has been determined by the members of this association, that it will be necessary to request the farmers to pack their peanuts in new 68 inch and 70 inch 8 ounce burlap bags, and when peanuts are packed in bags different from the aboe, a deduction will be made on the following basis: Cotton bags, a deduction will be made 10c each. Second hand bags a deduction will be made 10c each New 7 12 ounce bags 6tS or 70 inches a deduction will be made of 5c each. In view of the fact that some dealers in the past have delivered 7 1-2 ounce bags on contracts for 8 ounce bags, we would advise you to see that each bale of 500-68 inch 8 ounce bags you receive weigh , 472 1-2 pounds, and each bale of 500-70 inch 8 tounce bags weigh 486 1.2 pounds, exclusive of the wrapping and cordage. If they run short of the above weight, you are receiving 7 1.2 ounce bags instead of 8 ounce bags. NATIONAL PEANUT CLEANERS AND SHELLERS ASSOCIATION.? History, or historical legend, is full of tlio Kuriornatural. In almost every ao, except the eitflit H century, fiery ur- mies uro seen in tlio sky, snlile Heels travel so heaven upside down, on the eve of battles generals see visions and ad mirals dream dreams. Nor do Hie legends depend on tradi tion alone. Constantino was streiiKtliened by the Holy Cross in the sky, Julian abandoned by tho genius of Home, these ire recorded by contempora ries in full detail. In tho Mid dle Al'cs miracles are endemic, and every saint has one or two to his credit. Rut if we put by the Acta Sanctorum we have in England an undying King Arthur, in Cennany a Harba rosa sleeping softly in a pleas ant cave, while in those coun tries win w medieval ideas yet linger the Slav peasants of tislria think Joseph I a prison er at Rome, and the Russian peasants uwait the coming of Skobeleff on his famous white horse when Russia's need is sorest, But the marvels of the mod em age are not a few, Christ on tho cross tells Ferdinand of Austria that he will not for sake him, the White Lady of Ilohenzollern still brings fear to sentries in the castle at Ber lin, there is the little red man that brought misfortune to Na poleon and the Boer prophet's vision of the death of De la Ray and th outbreak of the South African rebellion. These are perhaps mere popular le gends without authority, more popular and far better attested are the visions seen of many at once, the sight of Castile's black fleet in the wky before it was seen on the sea, the dream of the Highland seer: "A field of the dead rushes red in mv sight, And llie clans of Culloden are scattered in flight" and the recorded vision of the wise men who foretold a British rout before Frenchmen at Ticonderoga. Coming direct to Hie most modem instances we have the buttle ot I'rtlep, where many beheld Marko Kraljevic rallying the broken Servian ranks and leading on to victory, and that of Mods, where angelic hosts are said to iuve brought succor to weary Englishmen. Mankind in the mass is not so old, then, even history is. Contemporary Review. 0 ES0E30E I . Z A B A .

After the doctor had gone he ;iid: "That doctor may be very smal l, but he sho' was talkin' foolishness when he tell a negro he had to live on chicken soup and then not allow him to go out at night." CLASSIFIED. A young woman called at the postollice and inquired if there was a letter for her "Busi ness or love letter?" jokingly inquired tho postmaster. "Business," was the hesita ting reply, accompanied by a deep blush. As thcru was no such letter to be found, tho young lady took her departure. She CHine back, however, after a little while and said, in fal tering tones, 'I'lease would you mind looking among the love letters?" Oman's Journal. Practical Economy Baking powders made from alum or phosphate may be bought for a trifle less than Royal Baking Powder, which is made from cream of tartar, derived from grapes. Alum powders are not only cheap, but they differ greatly in leavening power. If a cheap baking powder is used for a fine cake and the cake turns out a failure there is a waste of costly materials worth more than a whole can of the cheap bak ing powder. Royal Baking Powder produces the finest food, and its use therefore, results in an actual saving. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. New York A LEGACY OF HATE. Antipathies Aroused by War will Be Lone Passing. IT CAN BE DONE. Somebody said that ii couldn't be done, Bui he, with a chuckle, replied That "Maybe it couldn't," but he would be one Who wouldn't say so till he tried. So he buckled right in, with a trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hit it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done and he did it. Somebody scoffed : "Oh, you'll never do that; At least no one ever has done it." But he took off his coat and he took off his hat, And the first thing he knew he'd begun it; With the lift of his chin, and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quiddit, He started 10 sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done and he did it. There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done; There are thousands to prophesy failure; There are thousands to point out to you, one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you. But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, Then take offyour hat and go to it; Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing That "cannot be done" and you'll do ii. I In a communication to the 1 New York Times Henry Ooelet ! XlcVickar writes : It seems to me as if the great importance of this world war was not in its loss of treasure or loss of life, but in the death of love. There are 00,000,000 Germans who are hating 40, 00(1,001) Englishmen, not to mention Australians and Cana dians, with a hatred which is not only Satan born, but with a malice that could only ema nate from a body where the mind remained hut the soul had fled. This quintessence of hatred has at last filtered as thoroughly into the less im pressionable nature of the Eng lish to the same degree as it exists today with the Germans. The atmosphere of this world is at present permeated with bate of a low, cunning, un scrupulous quality as never be fore. It seems to me as if the devil was winning his way to the front; as if the devil was on the offensive and God on the defensive; as if it were God's and Christianity's de bacle. Whatever side wins, Love is dead and Hate for gen erations will remain supreme. Greater than the desire to kill is the desire to hurt, and for years after this war is end ed there will be no possible mingling of spirit between Ger man and Englishman. The spirit of Christ will lie dead be tween two peoples. O.OOD PICTURE OFCASEV. FOR BETTER OR WORSE. A negro man who had ap neared in the court clerk's of fice and bought a marriage li cense the day before returned on the following day to the same office all battered and beaten up his eyes black and his nose mashed and said to the clerk: "Here, Mr. Clerk, I want you to take this marriage license and give me back my dollar." The clerk replied: "1 can't do it, you took her for better or for worse," "Yes," said the negro; "but sho was worser than what 1 took her for." TO TAKE TEA AT BROWN'S "James, my lad," said the gro cer lo his new assistant, "who bought that mouldy cheese today?" "Mrs. Brown, sir," was the youth's reply. "And ihe stale loaf we could not sell last night." "Mrs. Brown, sir." "Where's that lump of rancid butter (hat baker refused?" "Mrs. Brown bought it cheap, sir," was the answer. "And the six eggs we could nol sell a week since? "Mrs. Brown. Are you ill, sir?" asked James, as the grocer turned green and groaned. "No, no; only I'm going to eat at Brown's tonight," replied the unhappy man as he wiped the perspiration from his face and sank into a chair. A POET'S PRAYER. By Edwin K. Hunt, Poet, The Kansas Some day I know ing sun will Miik golden lane into the I'll have read the the tv ru ndown its west, but Greatest Poem of All and soiight.t he so lace of eternal rest. The little children will still play about, their laughter yet will rise upon the air, hut I, who love them so, will never see, and never more for earthly things will care. Teach me, O Lord, be fore that time shall come, to know Thy love holds sway o'er everything, that Thou art watching all the paths we trod, from the humblest laborer unto the greatest king, O Lord, tho way is sometimes hard, the thing I think a gift is a curso, but though I stumble, still I rise again, and keep on going, if for good or worse. Help me to learn the beauties of Thy world, the good that lies with- n my fellowmen, and that as Thou hast willed so shall it be, help me to play the game, O Lord. Amen. Her Son Subject to Croup.
