CHESTNUTS AS FOOD.
Used Through France as a Popular
Article of Diet.

ArUlclo OF D1et.
The absence of Indian corn as an ar
ticle or diet among the poorer classes
In France Is, writes Commercial Agent
Grimm at Limoges, to Il certain extent
replaced by the popular chestnut.
Throughout the center OF this country,
from the Bay of Biscay to Switzer-
land, there are large plantations, and
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 horse
chestnut or buckeye, and are exten-
slvely eaten by hursan beings and ami
mails. Great care IL taken in harvest
Ing this nut before the severe frosts
touch 1t, MS freezing hastcns fermenta-
ton.
The poor people, during the fall and
winter, often make two meals daily
from chestnuts. The ordinary way Of
cooking them Is to remove the outside
shell, blanch them. then wet cloth
Is placed In an earthen pot which IL
almost filed with raw chestnuts; they
are covered with u second wet cloth.
and put on the fire to steam: they are
eaten with salt or milk. Hot steamed
chestnuts are carried around the city
streets In baskets or pals; the major
ity of the working people, who usually
have no fire early IN the morning, eat
them for their first breakfast, with or
without milk. Physicians say that AS
an article of food chestnuts are whole
some, hearty, nutritious and fattenlng.
These nuts are often used ms vegc-
table and are exceedingly popular, be-
ing found on the table of the well to-dO
and wealthy. They are served not
only boiled, but roasted, steamed,
pureed, and as dressings for poultry
and meats
Chestnuts are made into bread by
the mountain peasantry. After the
nuts have been blanched, they are
dried and ground. From this -four
sweet. heavy, fiat cake Is made. 1t re-
sembles the Oaten cakes so popular
among Scotch peasants. They are ex-
tensively employed for fnttening ami
mails, especially hogs The nuts are
boiled without Smelling; only small, In
ferior fruit Is thus used
In good seasons, chestnuts sell as
low as | cent a pound retail, ana
wholesale nj $50 per two hundred
weights.

SCHOOL HOUSES
To Pass Under Auctioneer's
Hammer at Upton.

Upton, Feb. LIN very few days
there will occur in the town hall one
of the largest real estate deals ever
contaminated in this town. At that
sale six of the school houses situated
in the limits of Upton will be sold to
the highest bidders at public auction,
the date of which the selectmen have
not yet determined. The school houses
which will be offered for sale are as
follows: The north part or brick
school house, the Bradish school house
on the Westboro road, Pudding street
building, south part, middle district
and Mechanic street houses.
This will leave Upton with four
school houses, all of which are occu
pied, and a new high school, west part
and centre grammars and east part
school house. The scholars living in
the vicinity of the schools offered for
sale have been carried to and from
the last-named schools for the past
four years, so the committee thought
it wise to get rid of the vacant build
ings. The selectmen were asked to
dispose of the property. and will do so
before the annual March meeting.
There is to be series of temperance
meetings to be held in the town under
the direction of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. The first will
take place in the congregational
