Henning had become a fierce and

For, sad to say, pretty Susanne
Henning, like many other American
girls who have married European
noblemen, has deserted the pure re

become an ardent supporter of mon

In these royalist activities the
former Susanne Henning now the
Marquise de Charette —bus been us
active as a woman could be. Her
husband, the Marquis de Charette,
Is n kinsman of the royalist pre

Tho Marquis de Ohnrette Is n
great-grandson of tho celebrated
Athene so de Charette. who headed
the peasants of Vendee during the

suite that waits upon the Duke and

The Duke d'Orleans, as most peo
ple know, lives In England, because
he Is not allowed to return to France
by the Government of the Republic.
Various French royalists take turns
to go to England -and do service ns
courtiers to the Duke and Duchess.
If the Duke d'Orleans should ever
be put on the throne he would cer

cost of the production of the crop.
Many Southern farmers are now
utilizing the peanut in their regular
system of crop rotation.
The cultivation of the peanut for
commercial purposes has until re
cently been confined chiefly to areas
in Virginia, Tennessee, the Carollnas
and Georgia. During recent years
the Industry has become established
throughout the South Atlantic States
and Westward to and Including Cali
fornia. The area Is one within which
the frost-free season is comparative
ly long, and much of the territory
has a soil containing a large per
centage of sand or alluvlnl matter,
mating it easily cultivated and well
adapted to the peculiar habits of the
peanut plant. The climatic require
ments of the peanut are a long sea
son without frost, a comparatively
light rainfall "during the growing
period, abundant sunshine and a high
temperature
To most persons the peanut sug
gests only the article ns It appears
for sale, whole or shelled and salted,
but during recent years the usages
of peanuts have become numerous,
and Include a wide range of utility.
The demand for peanuts for use In
the manufacture of food products is
constantly Increasing. By-products
of the peanut are now being em
ployed extensively In the manufac
ture of feeds for farm stock and
dairy cows, and the plant Is being
largely utilized as forage and as a
soil renovator. Among the more im
portant uses of the peanut for hu
man food are the following: It Is
eaten from the shell, as salted she’led
peas, as blnnched peas, In the so
called peanut candles and brittle, In
combination with popcorn and puffed
rice, in the form of peanut butter,
and as aa inrredlent of peanut and
vegetable meats, peanut meal and
salad oil- The use of the peanut for
eating from the shell when roasted
Is most important and popular, hut
the quantity of shelled pens that arc
first roasted and then salted and
sold by the pound is constantly in
creasing. A comparatively small
quantity of the better grades of pea
nuts Is first shelled and then roasted,
and the thin brown covering re
moved. after which the halves of the
peas are broken apart, the small
germ removed, and the meats given
a blanching process which renders
them very desirable for table use.
During recent years great quanti
ties of shelled peanuts have been em
ployed for the manufacture of pea

The formal engagement was cele
brated at La Basse Motte in Brittany,
where the Marquis and his family
live amid a loyal peasantry, as in
the good old days before the Revo
lution.
Soon after that the Marquis came
to New York, and he and Miss Hen
ning were married at a grand wed
ding in St. Patrick’s Cathedral
After that Mr. and Mrs. Henning
went their own ways.
The Marquis derives his title from
an uncle, while his father continues
to bear the bumbler title of Baron.
The old Baron de Charette Is one of
the most picturesque characters in
France. At one time he commanded
the regiment of Zouaves in the serv
ice of the Pope. When the forces of
United Italy advanced on Rome in
1870 he offered a spirited resistance
to the Italian army.
At last he realized that further
resistance to overwhelming force
would be an injustice to his men.
But he wished to give signal proof
qf his devotion to the Pope, and so
he fought a single combat with an
equally valorous colonel of an Ital
ian cavalry regiment in front of the
assembled forces. The colonel was
said to be the strongest man in the
Italian army. They fought with
sabres, and the Baron killed the
Italian colonel.
After that Baron de Charette re
turned to France, where the Ger
mans had already Inflicted crushing
defeats on the French army. The
Baron put himself at the head of a
body of volunteers, and with this
half disciplined force inflicted a
serious reverse on greatly superior
numbers of the enemy. Gambetta,
nut butter. This butter is prepared
by the ton in factories, is put up in
bottles or cans, and has become very
popular as a part of the luncheon
menu and for camping and cruising
supplies. In the process of the man
ufacture of peanut butter the shelled
peas are first given a medium roast,
care being taken that the meats do
not become overdone or scorched.
The peas arc then fanned and
screened to remove the thin brown
covering and the germs, after which
they are ground to a pulp by means
of a special grinder similar to those
used for chopping meats As the
peanut pulp comes from the “Tinder
it Is fed through a tin tube Into the
bottles or tins and tightly sealed
Some manufacturers follow the > prac
tise of salting the peanut butter,
while others leave this
part of the process to
the consumer, who can
salt it to suit his taste.
The oil of the peanut
belongs commercially in
the same class as do cot
tonseed and olive oils.
Peanut oil is said to be
of a higher grade than
cottonseed oil, and of
somewhat lower value
than first-class olive oil
Peanut oil Is sometimes
us°d for mixing with
olive oil for the produc
tion of an oil that can
be sold at a somewhat
lower price than first
class olive oil. On the
other hand, peanut oil is
frequently mixed with
cottonseed oil in order
to improve the quality
of cottonseed oil for spe
cial purposes. It Is gen
era!ly conceded that in
order to make the manu
facture of peanut oil
profitable, good peanuts
must be obtained at
prices not exceeding for
ty cents a bushel. With
the coming shortage of
cottonseed oil in this
country there is a great
possibility of building up
a peanut oil industry in
the cotton belt of the
United States There are
thousands of acres of
land now lying idle that
will produce fairly good
crops of peanuts, and

cause of monarchy.
It lias been said that if all the
French aristocracy had the spirit of
the Charettes there would he no
doubt about the restoration of the
monarchy. Since the first revolu.
tion the aristocrats have never
shown much disposition to fight for
the King or Pretender to the throne.
The wholesale use of the guillotine
at that time has made them tir-
cumspect. The only fighting splrM
has been shown by a small group of
nobles in Brittany and Vendee, and

unexpect-d allies. It seems likely
that a number of lively and spirited
American girls might overturn any
thing, even a republic.

The peanut is also a valuable feed
for use in preparing hogs for market,
the usual custom being to turn the
hogs Into the peanut fields and allow
them to clean whatever is left aftei
harvesting. In some sections pea*
nuts are grown primarily for feed
ing to hogs. Poorly filled nuts,
broken peas, the germs and waste
products generally are fed to hogs
during the earlier part of the fatten
lug period. A hog that is fattened
exclusively on peanuts will not yield
a desirable class of meat or lard, aa
the meat will lack firmness and the
lard be soft and oily. Toward the
end of the fattening period the hog
should he fed almost exclusively on
corn. Hogs will eat considerable of
the peanut tops when pastured on
them.
