NUTS As FOOD.
Tho Use Of Them for Culinary Purposes in
Some Foreign Countries.

We have little idea In this country r. what a
considerable extent the nut is used for food In
few foreign lands. Our Consuls have been
sending information on this subject from far
and wide, and the facts here given are con-
densed from number % these reports We
are trying to teach foreign nations that Indian
corn Is an excellent article Of food. but most OF
tho European peasantry still believe that maiZe
IL 1T only to fatten hogs and beef cattle MANY
Of those same persons sit down to dish Of
steamed chestnuts with much relish and arc
content il they have nothing else, which shows
that tastes differ.
Throughout the centre OF France. from tho
Bay OF Bscay to Switzerland. there are large
plantations and almost forests OF chestnut
trees The nuts are very large. resemble tho
American horse chestnut. and arc extensively
eaton by the pcnsantry and animals In the
fall and winter the poor often mako two moas
n day on chcstnuts They are steamed ard
eaten with salt or milk. and physicians say
they are wholesome. hearty. nutritious and fat
teuinG In some parts OF France walnuts also
are n regular article Of diet, but they are los
Ing ground as an article OF food because of
their comparative scarcity. Walnnts are also
used to make oil. and the convcts in some
prisons are employed cracking the nuts and
picking out the Kernels from which the oil IL
expressed.
Almonds grow we'll In the middle and south
ern parts Of France, and while the shell Is
soft. green and tender. the nut is sod largely
as a table article The meat is white and
creamy. HaZelnuts arc always high priced and
are luxury. The peanut is rarely eaten in
France though the taste for 1t is growing. II
is imported in enormous quantity for its oil.
4 few years ago there was good deal OF talk
about the merits of bread made Of peanut -four.
and il was thoroughly tested in the German
Army. where for little whilo it was part Of
the ration issued to number Of regiments. II
was declared to be- a too highly concentrated
and an irritating sort OF food. and the soldiers
didn't like it. The use Of peanut -four was ac-
cor,llngy discontinued.
In Italy almonds are eaten while green or
soft 40 dessert hv the well to do. but the poor
cannot afford them. Chestnuts are the only
nuts that enter into the regular diet OF tho
people. Almonds. f!berts and wanuts are
more of luxury and arc served rs dessert or
with vino AT social gatherings.
The chestnut almost takes the place In Corca
TINT the potato occupies in the Western world

Especial Correspondence
Price, Utah, April 26.-Some very fine
specimens of copper ore have been
brought in here from the Dirty Devil
Creek country, in Wayne county, by J.
w. Burgess An assay gives returns of
Az per cent copper, ten ounces in silver
and So in gold to the ton. There is said
TO be a four-foot vein of the stuff, and
there are true assures on both sides of
the creek, which at seasons of the year
is little more than a dry wash Bur-
CESS, with Sheriff c. W. Alfred of Car
bon county, has located four claims,
and the former left here today to begin
work in developing the property.
Alongside this Vein there is a streak
OF yellow tale and manganese that very
much resembles, it is said, the ores of
Mercur camp. There has been Il new
town to spring up there within the last
few weeks, and it is known as Thurber
City. Several parties viii leave here
THIS week and locate property. So far
only about a dozen claims have been
located, and not enough work has been
done to demonstrate anything.
Ayte LoVeless, a we'll known pros
pector of eastern Utah. writes friends
here who are interested with him, that
he has run onto fine body of gold ore
on the San Rafael river that gives him
values of s27 to the ton in gold and
some copper and silver. He has taken
a force of miners and supplies in there,
and will work the coming summer. He
IS about forty miles south and east of
Castle Dale in Emery county. The
country has never been prospected. A
syndicate of Price people has lately
made number of locations in the same
section.

ROUTINE OF SCHOOL WORK
GREAT ADVANCE OF NEW oVEE
OLD METHODS.
Fire Drill at the Grant-Interesting
Work Going On Every Day In
Ogden Schools.

A Herald reporter yesterday had oc-
casion to call at the Grant school and
met Mr.. DoXey. the principal, in the
| hallway. The conversation turned on
! fire drills in schools. In order to illus
trate the system in vogue signal was
turned in without a moments warning
to any of the pupils or teachers. Rec
itations were in progress in every room,
but almost before the gong had ceased
doors flew open and the Railways filled
with pupils marching in perfect order,
| but with great speed out of the build
ing. There was not hitch anywhere.
The pupils, led by their teachers, took
their places with military precision,
waited until their line of egress was
clear, and then went out at double
quick. In just one minute and twenty
three seconds there was not person
left in the room excepting the princi-
pal and the reporter, who held the
watch. There were about $50 pupils
distributed on three floors. Drills are
had on an average of once each week.
The reporter visited the rooms of Miss
Foulger and Miss Orth, the former hav-
ing beginning pupils and the latter the
next grade above. Drill work in read
ing, arithmetic, spelling, language and
science work was gone through with in
a manner highly commendatory. Some
new readers had been just received
and from these the little tots read stOr-
les, beginning in words sometimes of
three or four syllables, and pupil Sc
lected at random by the visitor would
Immediately give the gist of the story
as soon as read. Work in arithmetic
showing the new Speer system was
also shown by Miss Orth's class. So
far as possible the work of each pupil
in all branches is preserved in written
fn1 nd hun al tbn VOL f0T
comparison from day to day.
The advance in educational methods
and their success is undoubted, and the
wonder is that parents do not oftener
visit the schools and learn of their re-
markable work.
