woodland or of river scenery 1t is the part OF
the Danube where the waters break from the
great basin of Hungary through the mountains
When we first left OrsOva, the hills were one

sweet indeed But soon huge and shadowy
cliffs began 10 show themselves among the
woods, and once or twice the Danube pressed

picc, very much superior, because of the woods,
instead of miserable, tame, formal vineyards
but presently the magnficencc and almost
fearful grandeur of the scenery drove the Rhine
utterly out of my thoughts The woods were
principally dcciduous trees with an immense
profusion of walnut and they were all matted
together with wild vines, clematis, and very
large white convovulus, while between its
banks the river writhed and boiled over bars
of rocks, etiectually forbidding all navigation.
But now the cliffs reccded, and there came
some miles of incessant wood, with beautiful
valleys, through whose woody gates we obtain
ed exquisite glmpses up the mountainous
glens. One in particular rccOllcct, of consum-
mate loneliness. 1t was on the Servian shore
and far inland there rose Il huge mountain, in
shape like crOuching lion, and the valley
hroadened out and left the mountain standing
alone against the sky. Then came Il large sea-
ike bay, with Servian village and church on
q tongue of green fields. The broad river
went by gently, wheeling solcmnly in glossy
cddies. 1t WAS Il scene of perfect loneliness.

Then came the cliffs again, no longer white

impossible At last we turned from the cliffs
and saw the decp-woOded hills above Drcnko-

Edible Nuts,

Nuts are tree seeds, and differ from fruits IN
having hard shells without any SOFT Or puppy
enclosure. From the earliest times NUS, es.
pecially acorns and chestnuts, have been used
for food, and at the present day IN southern
Europe chestnuts form u large portion OF The
food among the aboring classes, VINO besides
eating them raw and roasted, make puddings
of them and polena for pastry. The chestnut
is the most turinaceOus and the least oily OF all
the nuts and therefore il is the most easy of
digestion, but ii requires boiling or roasting to
burst the starch shells and render it igestible
The chestnuts Of Southern Europe are far SUI
perior in size and perfection 10 those that grow
IN colder climates. Though little used on our
tables they make delicious deserts.
The walnut is a native of Persia, and its
fruit is much used in the green state as Il
pickle. This nut is very oily, and on the Con
iincnt its oil, when fresh, is used in cooking
as Il substitute for olive oil. In Switzerland
the poor people use the refuse matter after the
oil is extracted. for bread Walnuts and hick-
Dry nuts are often used by fancy cooks for
shortening and tlavoring cake; the addition of
these nuts makes delicious but very ndigcs-
tibc article.
Acorns from remote antiquity have been USED
rs food for men and animals. The ancient
BritOns lived mostly on acOrns; so, says ga,
len, did the Arcadians They were prepared
o.
ground and made into bread. AT present they
are used for fattening hogs, deer and poultry,
though in Norway and Sweden they are boiled
and mixed with cornmcal to make bread.
Halle nuts and filbers are the fruit Of the
same tree, the former in its wild and the latter
IN its cultivated state. These nuts are quite
free from oil. At desert they are eaten with
salt
Fresh roasted peanuts are very agreeable in
their flavor and nutritious. Instead of being
munched between meals in all sorts of places,
if they were eaten at the table as part of the
meal and thoroughly masticatcd they would
prove more wholesome.
The cocoa nut is Il product of one of the
palms, and grows abundantly in all tropical
regions The kernel in its fresh state, is very
nutritive, and when grated makes excellent
cakes or frittcrs The milk IF the coca nut
forms a delicious beverage in its native coun-
try; large nut when fresh will give half
pint of milk. When it is very young the pulp
is so soft that it may be eaten with a spoon,
and the shell is so thin and transparent that it
may be used as Il lantern. The oil obtained
by pressure from the kernel is used for burn
ing in lamps and for making fine soap. There
is no part of the tree but what is employed for
some useful purpose, though with respect to
fruit the cocoa nut is one OF the least product
i've of the palm tribe. One tree in good soil
produces about 100 cocoa nuts annually.
