NUTS AS FOOD.
Uses of Them for Culinary Purposes in
Some Foreign Countries.

Some Foreign Countries.
From the New York Herald
We have little idea in this country to
what a considera BILE extent the nut is
used for food in a few foreign lands.
Our consuls have been sending infor-,
nation on this subject from far and
wide, and the facts here given are con-
densed from a number of these reports
We are. trying to teach foreign ma
lions that Indian corn is an excellent
food, but most of the European peas
antry still believe that maize is fit only
to fatten hogs and beef cattle. Many
of these same persons sit down to a
dish of steamed chestnuts with much
relish, and are content If they have
nothing else, which shows that tastes
differ
Throughout the center of France,
from the Bay of Bscay to Switzerland,
there are large plantations and almost
forests of chestnut trees. The nuts are
very large, resemble the American
horse chestnut, and are extensively
eaten by the peasantry and animals.
In the fall and winter the poor often
make two meals a day on chestnuts.
They are steamed and eaten with salt
or milk, and physicians say they are
wholesome, hearty, nutritious and fat
tening. In some parts of France wal
nuts also are a regular article of diet,
but they are losing ground as an arti-
Gle of food because of their compare
tive scarcity. Walnuts are also used
to make oil, and the convicts in some
prisons are employed cracking the nuts
and picking out the kernels, from
which the oil is pressed.
Almonds grow well in the middle and
southern parts of France, and while
the shell is soft, green and tender, the
nut is sold largely as table article.
The meat is white and creamy. Hazel
nuts are always high priced and are
a luxury The peanut is rarely eaten
in France, though the taste for it is
growing. 1t is imported in enormous
quantity for its oil. A few years ago
there was a good deal of talk about
the merits of bread made of peanut
-four. and 1t was thoroughly tested in
the German army, where, for little
while it was a part of the ration is
sued to a number of regiments. 1t was
declared to be a too highly concen-
trated and an irritating sort of food.
and the soldiers didn't like it. The
use of peanut flour was accordingly
discontinued.
In Italy almonds are eaten while
green or soft as dessert by the we'll
TODD, but the poor cannot afford them.
Chestnuts are the only nuts that en-
ter into the regular diet of the people.
Almonds filberts and walnutS are more
of a luxury and are served as dessert
or with wine at social gatherings.
The chestnut almost takes the place,
in Corea, that the potato occupies in
the western world. 1t is used raw,
boiled, roasted, cooked with meat, and
in other ways. In Syria nuts are not
a part of the regular diet. but enter
into the composition of some popular
native dishes. Nuts in this country"
writes our consul al Alexandretta,
may be classed as a luxury. for use
as a dessert and for consumption by
the natives at night just before going
to bed"

two three-inch consolidation SAFETY
valves. set at $50 pounds, were n place
during the first trials of the engine. the
steam pressure was run up to 1876
pounds. In the last test of an ordinary
engine the steam pressure could nly
be run up seven pounds above the spcci-
fed pressure. The evaporation in the
new engine was also very high, being
Sc pounds of water to the pound a. coal.
The chief merit claimed for the CORFU
gated furnace is that 1t does away with
the troublesome stay bolts, necessary to
support and strengthen the old-sty.e of
furnace. Smaller sizes have been used
for many years in marine boilers, but
one large enough to steam a big lC co-
motive is an innovation. If IT proves
durable d revolution in locomotive
boiler construction is predicted.
The Northern Pacific has commenced
the erection at MOSCOW, Idaho, of new
warehouse with a capacity of GOO
bushels, which is to be ready in time TO
handle a part, at least, of this seasons
crop. 1t is probable it will be completed
within few weeks time. The Northern
Pacific's new warehouse is to be larger
than any of the other six at Moscow,
which last season handled 100000
bushels.
The Northern Pacific has opened up
number of new stations along its line.
These are WEIGH Spur. on the Montana
division. and Sampson, on the Rocky
Mountain division, in Montana. The fol-
lowing stations have been reopened:
West and Mcdonald, in Minnesota:
Kelley, Beans. Johnstown. Garfield.

Visitors to Crystal Springs are treat
ed to a very novel sight these days. A
new well is being sunk to obtain a
greater supply of water, and the pro-
cess is a very interesting one. The
method is the same as is employed in
sinking oil wells in the Pennsylvania
oil fields, the old walking beam engine
being in operation daily. To see the
machinery working is well worth a
trip to the springs.

Chicago last night for New York 1t has
been ascertained that representatives of the
Havemeyer company have been in the city
in conference with President Matthiesen, of
the Glucose company. for several days. The
result Of these conferences, it is said, was
an option on the glucose interests.
The important feature Of the plan is that
the American Sugar Company viii increase

When questioned in reference to the pros
pective sale of his company, Mr.. Matthie-
sen to-day refused TO discuss the matter,
saying: ANY information that may be Of
value to the public will be given at the
proper time"
NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-The story from
Chicago was discredited in trade circles
here. c. r. Heicke. secretary Of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company, said he
knew nothing of the deal and would not
give it out for publication If he did. At
the office of Arbuckle Bros. nothing was
known of the matter" B. H. Howell & Co.,
representing importer MT independent refn-
cries, did not believe there was any truth
in the story. New York Sugar Refining
Company interests knew nothing of it and
recalled the fact that a similar story was
started last spring, but without corrobora-
ton as yet.

Suit Against the Lead Trust.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1.-Attorney General
Edward Crow began proceedings in the st.
Louis Court of Appeals this afternoon to
have the National Lead Company excluded
from the privilege of doing business in Mis-
souri, on the ground that it is a trust. The
attorney general charges in his application
for a writ of custer that the defendant
is Incorporated under the laws OF New Jer-
sey with a capital stock of $4,000, 600 and
is doing business in Missouri without hav-
ing first complied with the law, which re-
quires foreign corporations TO procure Ii
censes from the secretary of state before
they can establish offices in this State. 1t
is contended that the defendant is unlaw-
fully usurping the privileges and fran
chises Of a Missouri corporation to which
it has no right under the law. 1t is also
alleged that the company could not incor-
porate under the laws Of Missouri for $780,
COe,O00, and that it's action in assuming to
exercise the right of doing business in this
State is Illegal,
