THE CHESTNUT AS A FOOD.

at mans estate, can not pass chest.

bringing back those happiest days Of
his life.
What holidays were more delightful
to the New England boy than those
spent in the fall, under chestnut tree,
brushing back and forth the crisp
brown leaves searching for chestnuts,
And when the empty buckwheat sack
was full and tied at the top what de-
light it was to put the bag upon the
left shoulder at dusk and triumphantly
tramp home whistling; then to trudge
upstairs to the attic and spread the
fruit out to dry.
How different is the process by which
the chestnut is annually introduced to
the average city boy. On the corner of
almost every city street, smoking
charcoal range, presided over by rag
ged Italian, may be met with Soap
less hands build the little charcoal fire
and handle the so-called roasted fruit
A pocket-knife used for cutting tobacco
makes the cross incision on the outer
skin, and when innocence buys the
fruit and wonders how the nuts became
impregnated with the flavor of salt
mackerel, he never fancies that the
vender has cooked his breakfast in the
dish in which he cooked his wares.
Notwithstanding these minor draw
backs, which may be overcome by not
patronizing street vendors, the Ameri-
can sweet chestnut presents many de-
lightful culinary possibilities which
should be better known. They are
smaller than the coarse European
chestnut, and for this reason are more
troublesome to prepare for the table;
but they are so superior in quality and
flavor that they are much to be prefer.

The street-cars are double.deckers,
and, like the buses, they carry more

number of passengers is limited When
the car has reached its limit it will take

another ten seconds was being hauled,
along with carful OF fellow-suburban-

car stopped in order to permit richly
dressed woman to enter the cer and be-
come one of us. We knew who the
newcomer was, every one of us, but as
1t happened, we were none of us on
speaking terms with this fair neighbor,
who had but recently made our suburb

its way she settled her rich and elegant
draperies about her and sank into a

A pocketbook of soft leather was
opened by the perfectly-gloved hands,

silver coins vulgar nickel was ex-
tracted and was about to be placed in
the hand of gentleman nearest the
fare-box, when there was sound of a
dropped piece of metal, and dingy
little penny was seen to roll across the
floor of the car, and, with that exas-
perating exhibition which cunning
things inanimate have so often been
known to manifest, hide itself quite

Black Bucls Huntinr IN India.

The black buck of India is O very
graceful animal, weighing between thir-
ty and fifty pounds. The hide of the
male when full grown is of inky black
ness on the back while the belly is as
white as snow, the contrast being very
striking. The horns are black and spi-
raj in shape, and in length average
about eighteen inches, although they
have been known to reach twenty-six
inches. The animals are usually found
in herds, and are difficult to approach
on foot, as the bucks toss their heads
into the air from time to time in very
graceful manner, and some one of then,
is almost sure to detect any attempt at
stalking. They are at times hunted on
horseback, but the usual method in
many sections is to use conveyance
very much like the back of horse, only
shorter and made of wood.
This is on wheels, is drawn by bull
locks, and is called jungle cart. 1t is
very close to the ground, and from both
sides project fiat pieces of wood, upon
which the feet rest The inside is hol-
low and holds ammunition and lunch
con. 1t is believed that they take the
queer little wooden arrangement on
wheels for plow, and consequently are
not much alarmed as it draws nearer
them in ever decreasing circles. The
bullocks move at the word of command,
and are accompanied by shikaree, or
native hunter. The bucks never seem
to fear the inhabitants, doubtless hav-
ing learned they are without guns, and
therefore not to be dreaded. Clarence
