Wastrseiox Buneat oz Tie Bee, | FOURTEENTH STRERT, Wasmixatos, D. C., Feb. 18, | More compliments have been passed upon | the selection of Hon. J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska to be Mr. Cleveland's sceretar) agriculture than upon any of the other o net designations made the president- clect. A flood of telegrams went to Lake- wood from Washington today endorsing the selection and congratulating the president elect.

His name was presented for the portfolio of agri- culture because of his being the father of Arbor day, first established in our state and afterwards by many others, He is much like Mr. Cleveland, both in his opinions on public questions and in the courage whi has led him to stand by his opinions « times. He has for most a gener preached the gospel of iff reform to anun- | pelieving people and has at various times been the varty candidate for the house, for the senate and for governor of the state. I have no doubt that the president will find in him not only an intelligent counsgllor and an efficient secretary, buv also a congenial companion, Mr. Morton is a brilliant after Z_s@inner speaker, and I shall be disappointed “If he does not prove a formidable rival of Mr. Depew in that field.” Editorlal Expression. Today's Washington Post (Ind.) has an editorial upon the subject of Mr. Morton's apoointment expressive of public opinion, in the course of which it sa 1t is not only a fitting recognition of the practical and zealous interest which Mr. Morton has always taken in promoting the welfare of the agricultural classes and in elevating fmproving the character of their indy bat it also secures for the incoming admin tration a man of fine abilities and varied a complishments, a lawyer of high standing and a citizen of thorough- going public spirit. ‘The appointment commends itself at once to | all who have the pleasure of Mr. Morton's acquaintance, and it is safe to say that he will make one of the ‘most useful and popular members of the presiden’'s official lmusvhl d. The more the people come to know him, and he is one of the most aceessi- ble of men, the better they will like him.” Judge Gresnam's Successor. Tt is believed here that Judge C.

But using boiling water the peas are readily blanched, the red envelope being easily rubbed off. Inmy first essay the water was not scalding hot and that led to my first “discovery. ] In order to bring to the requisite heat I set the dish containing water and pea- nuts in the oven, Then there was a short call on my attention, causing me to forget the nuts, and on going to the oven 1 found the water gently boiling—simmer- ing. I feared the nuts were ruined by this parboiling. But after rubbing off the skins, I spread the nuts on a tin dish, treated them to butter and set them in the oven again, It was then at a baking or browning heat, but was not a quick ven. ‘This, too, worried me, since the directions” called for a quick oven. This second mistake, I was sure, would complete the failure. The nuts were in that oven for a half- hour at least before they were browned or sufficiently parched, that is, until they had turned to a light snuff color. Then I took them out and salted them hot. Were they spoiled? They were supe- © to any salted almonds that I ever ate. A similar verdict has been pronounced on them by half a score of skilled “tasters.” T now consider the peanut for s preferable to the almond, becaus more moist and will, therefore, bear a long, thorough, slow cooking before scorching. Deep browning ought to be avoided, with both almonds and peanuts. since this renders the nut in either e bitter. ‘While the ordinary-roasted peanut of the market is trying to weak stomachs the salted pea is purely harmless and may safely become one of our common delica ting it is A Sl Falr Young Ushe Manager Alexander Comstodk made a new departure by employing s young and pretty women, who will after act as ushers at Niblo’s gar The idea is a new one, and Mr. Com- stock believes it will prove a success, in- asmuch as male ushers are apt to become unruly, dress cavelessly, and at times not at all backward about selling seats to the standers.
