SOMETHING ABOUT CHESTNUTs.
Prices, Grating, Worms, Chestnut Flour
Horse Chestnuts as Medicine.

Prices, Grating, Worms, Chestnut Flour
Horse Chestnuts as Medicine.
Chestnuts are scarce this year, and
will be dear, said Mr.. Charles Helfrich,
recently. " Virginia nuts, which are
the best, are sold at 81 and SO a bushel,
and State nuts at $40 to $11. The pros
poets are that the crop will be very
light, and worms plenty. There is a lit
tie green speck to be seen in almost all
chestnuts. Some dealers say every
chestnut has one. This speck is the
egg of a worm, which has been laid in
the blossom, and the nut grows over it.
Sometimes it never gets to be any more
than a speck. But with a sufficient
amount of heat this speck soon gets to
be worm, and eats his way out. The
worms soon destroy a crop. They grow
no chestnuts in California, and the only
way to preserve nuts long enough to get
them to the Pacific coast is to have them
kiln-dried. This destroys the worm, but
it evaporates the moisture.
Most chestnuts come to market in
bags, which keep them cool. As soon as !
possible they should be spread out in
thin layers on the floor. This will pre-
vent the Matching of the worms. The
season for native chestnuts lasts until
Nov 1. Then the italian nuts come
in. They sell for 10 and u cents a
pound, or Sc and So bushel. have
seen American nuts sell as high as SIC |
and as low as $1.5O bushel. They are
3weeter than the italian nuts. In Italy |
,hestnuts are much used as food because
they are cheap, but the Italians in this
country find other food to be cheaper.
There is flour made of chestnuts, which
S sold at the italian stores. The bread
made from it is very nutritious, but
ather tough.
" The supply of chestnuts varies very
much. Sometimes we cannot find
enough to meet the demand, and at
,ther times the markets. dull. Attempts
AVE been made to cultivate chestnuts,
With varying success. A man on Staten
sland has succeeded in raising some,
y cultivation, Of a size midway between
7irginia and italian nuts. The improve
lent was effected by grating.
" As the woods are cut down the sup
ly of nuts decreased. The decrease in
his State has been rapid. Considerable
uantities of nuts have been sold for ex-
ort. Foreigners like the flavor Of our
hestnuts. As to horse chestnuts, I do
OF know that they have any market
alue. There are some who use them
II medicinal purposes. There is a wide
pread superstition that the carrying of
horse chestnut is preventive Of dis
lse. "-NeoU York San.

AT THE END OF A WAR.
A Trick Played by the British when They
were Leaving this Country.

A never-to-be-forgotten incident oc-
CURED when the American column,
headed by General Washington and
Governor Clinton, approached the Bat
terry as the British army left it, at the
close of the Revolutionary War. Lieu
tenant Clean had been ordered by Com
modore Grinnel to raise the American
standard on the staff where the English
ensign had been heretofore flying. The
evening before the British had unreeved
the halyards. broke off the stepping
cleats. and slushed the flagstaff. The
flagstaff stood on Fort George, at the
north end or bastiOn, close to the Bat
terv. Several men tried TO climb the
staff, which was as slippery as ice, but
in vain. A Young sailor boy named Van
Arsdale made three attempts, got up
about three feet and slipped down again.
Then several persons ran to Goelet's
hardware store on Hanover square and
cot handsaw, hatchet, gimlet and nails.
One sawed lengths across a board, one
spit the cleats and another bored them
until there was plenty to use. The sailor
boy tied the halyard around his waist,
filed his outside pockets full of cleats-
and then began at the ground to nail
them in on the right and left Of the flag
staff. As he ascended higher he nailed
the cleats on, and then, reaching the
top. he rove the halyards and descended.
The fac was Immediately run up, amid
a salute of thirteen guns and three thun-
dering cheers from the multitude assem-
bled. The time spent in preparing to
hoist the flag was period of intense
interest and suspense. The English
vessels were moving down the bay and
spreading thar canvas to the wind, and
If was passi,s sately desired to let them
see the ~ an standard waving over
the citv they left. The sailor boy

STORIES OF FORTUNE.
How n Water Well Became an oil Well
and an OIL Well Water Wen.

"Talk about tumbles in the price of
oil, said a veteran operator on the Brad
ford, Pa, Petroleum Exchange, ''nothing
like the one Of the winter of 1860 has
been known in the modern days of the
trade. That was the winter that Jesse
Heydrick put down the old Farmers and
Mechanics we'll, or rather the company
that he formed put it down, and that was
the first company ever formed to develop
the oil territory. The well came in good
for about 5000 barrels a day, and half
of it couldn't be taken care of, but ran
down the creek in a regular flood. Oil
was oil then, and was worth S13 bar
rel. Pittsburg was the only market, and
we had only one way to get oil there,
and that was by running it in barges
down the Allegheny River from Oil City.
OF course it was necessary to have fresh
cts to transport it in this way. The
winter that Heydrick struck his well the
river was frozen over, but he was bound
to get some oil to Pittsburg. He sue
ceeded in cutting way through, and
ran ten flat boats down. He sold all his
oil for $13 a barrel. The next day
thaw set in, and in two days the river
broke up. Then the boats began to
run, and in a short time the market was
overstocked, and in less than a week oil |
was selling at 80 cents a barrel.
''The early days of oil production were
attended by many curious incidents.
One of the queerest was a streak of luck
a well owner struck on the creek in 1868.
He had drilled a well down to the third
sand, but found nothing but water, and
three days continuous pumping failed
to bring anything else to the surface, so
he abandoned the we'll in disgust. The
next day a neighbor of his, who was
operating on an adjoining lease, came
over to see the disguised well owner,
md informed him with much excitement
hat since the pumping of water had
leased at his well great trouble had re-
suited at the other well, which had
Yielded thirty barrels of oil day as long
Is the water was being pumped, but
lpon the stopping of the water pumping
lad filed up with water and produced
10 more oil.
"The result was that the man who
wned the producing well hired the less
operator to keep his pump
ding. for which he paid him $40 a week.
he producing well was thus restored to
s former condition, and things worked
for six months, when sud
emily one day the well that had been
ielding nothing but water began pump
lg oil. and the one that had yielded oil
/ turn became a water well. The
hanged situation resulted in a lawsuit,
hich was won by the owner of the well
nat had at first yielded nothing but
ater."
