CHEsTNUTS AS FOOD.
Used Through France as Popular
Article of Diet.

The absence of Indian corn as an ar
ticle of diet among the poorer classes
in France is writes CommerclaI Agent
Griffin at Limoges, TO certain extent
replaced by the popular chesunut'
throughout the center of this country,
from the Bay of Biscay TO Swltzer-
land. there are large plantations, ana
almost forests. of chestnut trees.
These nuts differ very much from the
ordinary species indigenous to the
United States; they are broad, large
and resemble the American morse
chestnut or buckeye, and are extern
sively eaten by human beings ana AMI
mails. Great care is taken in harvest
ing this nut before the severe frosS
touch il. as freezing hastens fermenta-
ton.
The poor people during the fall and
winter. often MAKE two meals daily
from chestnuts. The ordinary way or
cooking them is To remove the outside
shell. blanch theIl. then a wet cloth
is placed in an earthen pot, which IS
almost filed with raw chestnuts; they
are covered with a second wet cloth,
and put on the fire to steam: they are
eaten with salt OF milk. Hot steamed

have no fire early in the morning eat

These nuts are often used as vege-

ing found on the table of the well-to-do
and wealthy They are served not
only boiled. hut roasted, steamed,

ChcStnuts are Inade into bread by

In good seasons, chestnuts sell as
low as l cent a pound retail, and
wholesale at $50 per two hundred
weights.

SOME QUEER APPETlTES.
Ostriches and Gnats Are Not Alone In
the Possession of Them.

The novel operation mentioned re-.
Gently Of the removal of over six
inches of hatpin from the neck of a
kitten is not altogether without pre-
cedent.
Kittens and puppies, and cats and
dogs. it was stated are frequent suf-
rers from a lack of discrimination in
swallowing things never intended for
consumption. Hatpins, meat-skewers
knitting needles, and ordinary needles
and pins are among the articles they
have been known to swallow. Only
recently a tiny fox terrier was sub
mittcd for professional examination on
what was supposed to be an abscess
on the side. The surgeon, however,
decided that foreign body was pres
ent and nothing could of course be
done without the merciful aid of chic
reform, for it is both interesting and
gratifying to know that even the least
painful operation is never attempted
until the animal to be operated un0n
is placed temporarily beyond the reach
OF pain. The results of this operation
disclosed the presence OF IA wooden
meat-Skewer in the terriers stomach,
with the point projecting between its
ribs. The obstacle was successfully
removed and today the tiny pet is as
friSky as ever it was.
Another small spaniel paid the pen
atty of its righteousness with its life.
mainly owing to the fact that its
owner was a comparatively poor man.
One morning the dDg entered the bed
room, and bouncing upon the dressing
table, Tapped up diamond stud worth
five or six guineas. Ordinary emctics
had no effect. and unfortunately under
chloroform on the operating table the
surgeon was unsuccessful in dislOdg-
ing the stud. At the wish of the
owner a further supply of the drug
was given, and post-morte'm revealed
the missing gem.
1t is attributed to some cats that
they show an Incorporate inclination
for wine corks. and frequently swal-
low them. Others swallow needles.
which gradually work out through
their skin, and there is case on
record of an omnivorous goat that
swallowed a packet Of small needles,
and for some months afterward, owing
to its porcnpine exterior, was a ter
ror to the small boys who attempted
to take seat on its back.

The heating of air by means of small
fires scattered about through orchards
or fields has been found Il very effec-
tive protector against frost in the drer
parts of California. One ingenius de-
vice for the same purpose, designed by
G. F. DitZler, consists of deep sheet
iron tank, three or four feet square,
mounted on n truck About six inches
from the bottom of the tank is a wire
CRATE, beneath which, through hole
in the bottom of the tank, is admitted
a blast of air.
This is produced by revolving fan
operated by a sprocket chain and
wheel attached to the wheel of the
truck A water cask and force pump
complete the outfit. Tar or other fuel
is placed on the CRATE and ignited, and
the tank is filled with wet straw or
manure. The blast of the fan blows II
into an intense fire, all the heat of
which has to pass through three feet
of wet straw before it can reach the
air. Naturally the evaporation is very
active, and the vapor rising from the
wet material Immediately condenses
forming dense fog or mist.
As the machine is driven backward
and forward between the rows of frees
in the orchard, water is continually
pumped from the cask and scattered
over the fuel. The machine is said ia
evaporate 100 gallons of water an hour
Often this artificial fog is so dense
that the driver has to go forward and
lead his horses.

Earth and Its Axis

Nine persons out Of ten-yes, 800 out
of every 1,O00-if asked how long it
takes the earth to turn once on its axis
would answer twenty-four hours, and
10 the question: How many times
dteS it turn on its axis in the course
Of year. the answer would be: 1854
times Both answers are wrong. 1t
requires but twenty-three hours and
fifty-SiX minutes for the earth to make
one complete turn, and it makes 1854
turns during the year. The error
springs from a wrong idea of what is
meant by day. The day is not. as is
commonly supposed, the time required
by the earth to make one turn on it's
axis, but the interval between two
successive passages of the sun across
the meridan-that is to say. the time
which elapses after the sun is seen
exactly south of its diurnal course
through the heavens before it it is
seen again in that position. Now, in
consequence Of I'll" earths revolution
in its orbit, or path around the sun.
the sun has the appearance of moving
very slowly in the heavens in direc-
ton from east to west. At noon to-
morrow the sun will be short dis
lance to the east of the point in the
heavens at which it is seen at noon
to-day, so that when the earth has
made one complete turn, it will still
have 10 turn four minutes longer be-
fore the sun can again be seen exactly
south

The progress of our age has played
havoc with many time honOred indus,
tries, but on the other hand has caused
new ones to spring up and take theiI
places. Whaling in bygone times was
a dangerous business. Sailing vessels
fitted out for the purpose had to take
along not only crew of hardy whale
hunters, but also men skilled in cut

An interesting circumstance incident
TO Magellan's circumnavigati ton of the
globe and discovery of the Philippines
is that every degree Magellan sailed
westward added four minutes to his
day. until when he reached the Philip

to sixteen hours. Curlously enough.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.

1t does not require an expert to detect the
sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow
cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy
circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-
colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheuma-
tism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over
the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate
often, or a burning or scalding in passing it !;
if after passing there is an unsatisfed feeling
as if it must be at once repeated, or if the
urine has brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in renewing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh Of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and
sometimes requiring the drawing OF the
urine with instruments, Oh may run into
Brights Disease, the most dangerous stage oi
kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmers Swamp-Root, the great dis
covery of the eminent kidney and bladder
specialist, is positive remedy for such dis
eases. Its reputation is world divide and it is
so easy to get at any drug store that no one
need suffer any length of time for want Of it,

wonderful merits, mention EVENING HERALI
