How "Chestnuts" Originated.

Memphis AvaIanChe.
In one of the French prisons, Immediately
under the supervision of the prefecture of police,
1t is, or was until recent years, a custom for the
night Waterman to drop every half hour a chest
nut into receptacle, which thus became a record
of duty done neglected. 1t followed that
missing chestnut became the subject of anxious
explanation, which generally a falsehood,
and like all falsehoods, stupid. There was
naturally a sameness in the explanations offered
by the sleepy guard for the absence of his half
hourly chestnut. These stories became known
chestnuts 1t befell that any dull story not
worth repeating was called chestnut as resem-
bling the chestnut explanations, for stupidity
and lack of ceverness of invention. This is
the true and simple story of the origin of the
chestnut expression.

Sam Jones ON Depravity.
Waco (Tex.) Day.


never go digging about Adam with little
shoe" and big II" Digging around is not
part of my work. Poor old Adam Let him
rest in common sense. There is {, 900 years be
tween him and you. Let him alone. You have
got about as much as You can do to tote your
own skillet. AS to whether depravty is total or
partial, just want to say this: Every man of
US has got enough meanness in us to damn us;
and what fellow wants with more than that is
more than l know. l tell you the big
gest rascals in Waco amt in jail by a
good deal. For declare to you that but for the
best influences on earth 1 might have been in
generated in jail or the penitentiary. | reckon
there are FIVE hundred men can stand up now
and say amen to that The Episcopal Church
has no funeral sermons, and think we had bet
ter do away with them, too. We had better
have none in this town than to have one preacher
that will stand up and preach man to heaven
who in he'll. Heaven is the center of gravity
of all that good and hell is the center of gray
ity of all that is bad. There are not enough
devils in hell to drag a good man down to hell;
there are not enough angels IN heaven to lift
a bad man to paradise when he dies God
doesn't bind man hand and foot and cast him
into HE'LL God can't keep sinners out of
hell; the devil cannot keep good men out of
heaven. When bad man dies, he not only goes
to hell, drawn thither by the natural forces of
spiritual gravity; not only by the approval of
God and the angels. but he goes to hell with the
common consent of every other man living on
the face of the earth. | don't care who you are
what's your age; where you live what's your
color-if you are outside of the atoning mercies
of Jesus Christ through faith and good works
you have got enough meannesS in you to damn
you; and its only a question of time when you
will be damned-and damned forever When
the devil went at Adam, he fell the first lick he
made when he went for Job, Job stood like a
rock until the devil had fired his last gun at him.

GEESE.
How They are Patterned According To
the strssburg Fashion.

ucw They are Patterned According to
the strssburg Fashion.
To fatten geese aften the Strasburg
fashion, the bird must be neither too
young nor too old, its growth must be
completed. those remarkable for their
cackling should not be selected, and
none chosen under ten pounds weight
Some geese can be fattened in eight,
while others require twenty-four days;
but fifteen to eighteen days is the aver
age period. Winter is the most propti-
Gus time for the process, and the months
are December and January. When in
the crib every cause of excitement
should be removed. the birds must be
kept in complete darkness-in state of
absolute repose-and free alike from
cold and heat. The region around
Toulouse, where forage is scarce, and
consequently milk butter rare, the geese
are fattened for their fat alone, the
flesh. feathers and liver being only Sec
ondary ends. Cracked maize, or its
meal, is the chief food employed;
thirty-fve quarts is the guam
lity used during the whole process.
Barley meal is good; some prefer mix
ture of pea, bean, and buckwheat flour.
The stomach Of a goose has strong di-
gestive power. When the bird is killed
the fat is melted and placed in earthen
pots, where il retains its color and good
taste for two ;the flesh is then salt
ed like pork or beef and sold in the
locality. The Polish plan is to place tho
goose In an earthen pot, having the bot
tom knocked out, for fifteen days, giving
itas much meal paste as it can consume.
In Strasburg the geese receive maize or
barley meal mixed with milk. and
saucer of water is within reach of their
box. At the last stage Of fattening the
geese lose appetite, so they have to be
fed with a tundish; little powdered
charcoal is added to the ration, the bet
ter to develope the liver. The circula-
ton Of the blood becomes very sluggish
at the close of the process, and its color
pale rose or white; the globules con-
siderably diminish. The liver is white,
friable, not bitter. and rich in albumen:
But when the final stage is reached and
the bird killed, the blood returns to Its
normal condition, and the fat diminlshes
in all parts Of the body. save the liver

tinence Was Punished.
Forty-one years ago John Smith was
the driver and chief proprietor of Q
line of coaches running to the White
Mountains. Whether this was John
Smith the first or the one thousandth
we can not tell. 1t was said that he had
but one eye, and tha' he was keen and
on the main chance. On his down
trip one time a Boston gentlem an took
a seat by Johns de, and. being of an
inquisit.ve turn of mind. he asked
numerous questions concerning differ
ent mountains and views, TIL at length
Johns patience was exhausted. and,
in answer to one question. he tartly
answered.: Stranger, if YOU will at
tend to your business | will to mine"
As might be readily imagined there
was a quiet time after that After q
drive of a few miles John drove up TO
country store and postoflice where
the mail bag was thrown Of While
the mail was being changed Mr.. SIN tn
swapped horses with man who came
for that purpose, and the new horse
was "hitched ia. and the driver was
so intent on the trade, and so DESTROYS
of uying the metal of his new horse,
that he started off without taking the
mail bag. After a drive of some ten
miles he drew up at another Office, and,
on reaching for the bag and not finding
it, he said: by thunder left the bag
at the other Office Yes" said the
Boston man, Il observed that you
