How q Skilled Cook May Mako Them
Available In Many Ways.
Why not make meal Of chestnutsp
There have been feasts known where
the whole bill of fare was composed Of
the same Wand differently prepared.
Unlike the walnut, the chestnut lends
itself readily to the treatment Of a
skilled cook, and may be made avail
able in many different ways for refined
tastes.
To begin with, then, few soups are
more palatable than chestnut soup,
served with frittered peas, and,
although this can scarcely be looked
upon as q novelty, how seldom do we
meet with itp
Again, with regard to the fish course,
for those who usually partake of pota-
toes with it, would 1t not be pleasant to
find dish Of plainly boiled chestnuts,
shelled and saltedP
No one, ofcourse, is ignorant Of that
noble dish-turkey stuffed with chest
nuts. For cooking and serving dish
like this, the highest culinary authori-
ties should be consulted, and their di-
rections followed to the letter.
Puree Of chestnuts may well take
the place of potatoes. For an entree
chestnuts and mushrooms would be an
acceptable and pleasing variety, and
would afford opportunity for the exer-
else of some experimental ingenuity.
The same may be said of veal and
chestnut patties, with due seasoning
of herbs. For the ''sweet course in a
feast of chestnuts we have to fall back
upon chestnut cream, while stewed
chestnuts, with caramel of bright
brown color, makes pretty contrast.
In our humble Judgment the only
process Of roasting chestnnts is to do so
on a broad, perforated pan or shovel
on the top of clear coal or coke fire.
just, indeed, as they are cooked in the
streets, and where, if we try them, we
generally admit they are better than
anywhere else; better, we maintain,
simply because they are really roasted
and not boiled previously, for the nuts
themselves are not generally of so ex.
cellent quality as those we find on
our own tables. To roast them thor.
oughly through, and not to scorch and
blacken the outer portion, it is neces.
saryto pay them great attention, con-
stantly turning them with the fingers
or tongs, and this, of course, takes
time. AS rule chestnut can not be
too large, and when the season is
prolific one these are not difficult to
meet with, while very few are abso.

Who Hoyle Was.

According to Hoyle" is common
phrase, and "Hoyle's Game 81 are wide

under the impression that Hoyle was a
reformed gambler, who turned his at

keeping out Of the poor-house. Ed
mOnd Hoyle was a Londoner who died
in 1869, aged ninety-seven. He was
among the first who took special in

game, and after it became craze de-
voted several years to teaching 1t at

A NOBLE FOWL.

Concise and Instructive History of tn,
Boarding House Turkey.
The origin of the noble fowl Of which
write is shrouded in mystery; look
through my tears on the misty veil Of
the past and endeavor to trace back
the history of the unfortunate bird, but
in vain; history does not run back far
enough.
One of the boarders who endeavored
to eat it, and who is now confined in a
private mad-house, stated in one of his
lucid intervals that it was the first one
turned out by the manufactory.
Burdened by its years, and rejecting
upon the grim part when It suffered
with Noah upon Ararat, the turkey
seemed to welcome death, and it was
disposed of as rapidly as possible. The
hatchet with which it was killed has
lost its edge.
When it had been stuffed with what
ever fragments Of leather betting and
tarTed rope the landlady could find,
and had been baked to a delicate brown,
it was placed upon the table. l under
took to carve it.
The mills Of the gods grind slowly,
but they get there ali the same.
After the first furious assault, l OBJ
served that the boarders appeared hurt
and disconnected, as they wiped the
gravy out of their eyes and hair, and /
commenced to look for the turkey,
which had glanced from under the
knife.
After long and arduous search, l
found it hanging on the pump in the
yard, with pieces Of glass and sash
clinging to 1T, where it sailed through
the window.
Ihad a foreboding of evil; a pre-
sentiment that the future had naught
but misfortune in store for me, vet !
carried the fowl back with a stony
glare in my eyes, and a resolve in my
heart to sell my life as dearly as pos
sible.
But why prolong this hideous sceneP
Why add horror upon horrors headP
The binding tears come to my eyes as
/ think of those who gathered about
that festive board, and were carried
away with their reason tottering upon
its throne.
The turkey was turned over to a
saddle manufacturer, who has since
made an assignment Walt Mason, in

ST Louis, Jan. 1.-The Matamoras, Mexico,
correspondent of the Globe Democrat telegraphs
as follows, under to-day's date: Yesterday was
the date fixed by law for the installation of the
new board of city officers. The Torres element,
who, it is alleged were secretly supported by the
military, were evidently bent on creating a riot
and thus causing martial law to be declared in
the city, and perhaps pave the way for the down
fall of the State government under General
Cuellar. who is favorable to ex-President
Gonzales. At an early hour Torres and his
supporters took possession of the city hall.
Mayor Heinajoso, although not approached,
took his hat and went home when the police
were shut up in their quarters with strict
orders, under no circumstances to fire. Vii
lareal, commanding the artillery, had cavalry
regiment under arms at the barracks, around
the corner, and 100 infantry at the jail Torres
and his mob had everything their own way,
while Yturria. the candidate who received the
most votes, and who had been declared elected
by the State Congress, did not dare to appear
and take charge. At o'clock in the afternoon
two drunken r.en drew knives on each other in
front of the police headquarters, and the chief
of police Amadeo Trevino went out to separate
them, when he was greeted with storm, Of bull

POSSIBLY most of the people who are familiar

Messrs. Walter Baker & Co. have used so long
as their trade mark, think it creation of some
artists fancy. On the contrary it is portrait,
the portrait of very pretty Viennese woman,
that some years ago young German student of
noble birth fell in love with the pretty chocolate
girl who served him with this delicious beverage
in Vienna cafe. She was a respectable girl
and he an honorable gentleman, and he married
her. He felt proud of her humble origin, and
had her portrait painted by famous German
artist in the picturesque costume she wore when
he first met her. and this portrait is now among
the most valued art treasures of the government.

churches. Besides these explanations. the cir
cular refers to the costumes worn by ladies for

sports. The Bishop denounees the costumes as
quite unbecoming for the female ssx, and con-
siders both toboggannig and noe-sboeing as
carried on, dangerously near the paths of sin.
Speaking of the latter sport, he says that snow
shoes were invented by the Indians as a
necessity. and were never intended for civilized
women. The circular has also some points against
theatres.
