In Camden County, N. j., Just back
of Blackwood, there is probably the
largest single cultivated chestnut grove
i'll this country, and from its $50 acres
OF woodland several thousand bushels
of large chestnuts are harvested every
fall aud shipped to New York City.
About ten years ago it dawned upon
farmers aud business men that money
could be made by raising chestnuis for
the market, and about that time the
trees were planted extensively through
out the country, the fruits OF which
are just now made apparent in the de.
creased cost of chestnuts and the
heavy supply that comes to the large
cities. The grove in Camden County
was planted about five years ago
by company which called itself
the Mammoth Chestnut Company,an and
they selected IL fine natural grove of
chestnut trees and then started IN to
graft on these trees the mammoth i'm
ported chestnuts. At first the French
and Italian chestnuts, the largest kinds
that reached our markets then, were
grated upon the native trees, but
later the improved Japanese varieties
were substituted. These are the Iarg.
est of uIl chestnuts, and they have at
tanned their present size and quality
through years of cultivation and selec-
ton. Many OF the Japanese chestnut
trees have been transplanted to this
country, aud they have been found
hardy enough for the New-Jersey
climate, yielding large crops OF nuts
much earlier in the season than the
native chestnuts. New York Tribune.

Caught In His Own Trap.

There is a merchant in this city
who, if he never realized before the
meaning of being hoist with his own
petard, realizes it now. He has for
some time suspected that one of his
two servants WAS purloining small arti.
cl.s from his bureau drawers, and
being unwilling to make any fuss
without further grounds, hit on a
novel expedient for detecting the
thief. Among the possessions OF his
son and heir was mink trap, with
which the boy was accustomed
to amuso himself on his vacation, and
the gentleman set his apparatus in one
of the drawers, covered it with silk
handkerchief and laid ten-cent piece
on the pan. Then he locked the drawer
and awaited developments. But moth.
ing developed till the third day, when
he himself supplied the denouement.
Opening the drawer in search Of some
article, he absent-mindedly attempted
to pick up the .ten.cent piece, and
shrill cry rang through the house Is
the iron jaws closed upon his knuck-
les. He had forgotten all about his
trap until reminded of it in this ex.
tremey unpleasant fashion. He has
taken off the sticking plaster by now,
and has discarded his new form Of
thief detector. Toronto Mail.

This bit of real estate is on the
south side OF Eighty-third street, Just
west OF West End avenue. The pur-
chaser is Cora SIDE Brazzs Savorgnan
better known as the Countess. de
BrnZZa.
The Countess de Brazza built a
house at No. 4O4 West End avenue.
When it was practically finished q
survey was made and it was found the
building encroached on the property
of Philip Schell, of No. 3O8 West
Eighty.third street.
There had been a blunder some
where, but it wasn't so important to
discover how it was made as how to
remedy it. The thirty. ,ix square inches
of real estate is back from the street.
1t wasn't OF any particular use to mr..
Schell, but so long as he owned II
there was cloud on the title OF the
countess to the property.
Her lawyers sought Mr.. schell. he
agre ed to sell the little piece OF
ground. How much DID he want for
it? Mr.. Schell didn't know. he
didn't care about the bit OF land, but
he didn't like tho trouble of making
the transfer. HIS wife was away and
it would be bother to him and to
her.
Finally Mr.. Schel said he thought
800 would be fair price. The
countess's lawyers said she would be
very glad to pay that sum, and so the
transaction. was concluded. Atlantic
