TO COOK CHESTNUTS.
Ways in Which They Are Rendered Val
atAble In France.

The large French chestnuts are
again in market, and are beginning to
be used as one Of the substantial lunch
or dinner dishes by many families. In
many French homes it is the practice
to roast them slowly until soft, then
send them to the table. where each
member hulls his own, then cuts them
in half and puts bit OF butter be-
tween before eating, says the New
York Post. Another way is to hull
and throw them into boiling water
for a few minutes, SO that the skins
can be easily removed, after which boil
for twenty or thirty minutes, until
soft; then put through one Of tho pat
ent potato mashers, and they are ready
to eat as porridge with cream or
rich milk. After boiling and mashing
they can be seasoned with butter and
served In the place of mashed potatoes.

A worthless old vagabond had an
noyed the good people Of western
town for several years. He had been
arrested for drunkenness and vagran-
cy times without number, but to no
purpose. Moral suasion had been tried
upon him without effect. He steadily
grew worse.
An impromptu vigilance committee
was formed one day and lot of citi-
zens whose patience had become ex-
hausted, and while they deprecated
mob violence, they agreed in the opin-
ion that it was time to shift the bur
den of this particular vagabond upon
some other place. Accordingly they
went to his lodgings one night, lifted
him up, put him on a rail, rode him
to the outskirts of the town, dumped
him into a shallow creek, and left him

THERE is NO DEATH.

TAs sunlight glitters keen and bright,
Where, miles away.
Lies stretching to my dazzled sight
A luminous belt, a misty light,
Beyond the dark pine bluffs and wastes
of sandy gray.
The tremulous shadow of the sea!
Against its ground
OF silvery light, rock. hill and tree.
Still as picture, clear and free.
With varying outline mark the coast
for miles around.
I draw a freer breath-I seem
Like all I see
Waves in the sun-the white winged
gleam
OF sea birds in the slanting beam
And far OFF sails which fit before the
south wind free.
So when times veil shall fall asunder
The soul may know
No fearful change. nor sudden wonder,
Nor sink the weight of mystery under.
But with the upward RISE and with the
vastness grow.
And all we shrink from now may seem
No new revealing;
Familiar as our childhood's stream,
Or pleasant memory of dream
The loved and cherished past upon the
new life stealing.

and yet-and yet, what else could |
do? Love had called me, and where
it led | could but follow.
So one day | kissed my aunt tear
full goodbye, and Arthur and l slipped
away to the little church around the
corner, and were quietly married and
went to live in the studio, where we
slept in beds that did duty as Turk
ish couches by day, and cooked our
morning chop over a gas lamp that
masqueraded as Pompeian vase. and
we made acquaintance with queer
Bohemian restaurants, and were as in
consequently happy as love and youth
could make us.
Arthur worked away like mad that

people found their way up the steep

listening for the footsteps of the buy

Then Arthur fell i'll, and cheap and

FIVE O'CLCCk TEA.

shoppers Every Afternoon.
Berlin Letter in London Telegraph:
One Of the large hotels in Berlin,
writes correspondent, has just start
cd serving afternoon tea between and
O'Clock in the afternoons. This will,
undoubtedly, be much appreciated by
those who have been shopping all day
and who are a long way from home.
1t Is extraordinary that such an idea
has never before struck the enterpris-
ing hotel keepers and cafe proprietors
IN this new capital. In every street
there are countless cages and hotels
and so-called conditoreis, or pastry
cook shops, but the one thing English
people delight in-namely cup Of
good tea with bread and butter-it -
almost impossible to obtain. Tea 10
served, but instead Of being in cups 1t

glass la russo, generally with q
slice Of lemon and hot milk. Bread
and butter is an almost unknown
quantity, the solid refreshment Affect

cream and biscuits covered with
chocolate. Cocoa and chocolate are
also very popular among German Ia
dies, and they order for afternon tea
a glass of Munich or pilsener beer.
English afternoon tea" however, is
hardly ever procurable, except. OF
course, in private houses. In them
English customs are initiated to very
large extent-in fact, to be fashionable
the household should be arranged, as
far as furniture, meals and dress are
concerned, entirely la mode Anglaise.
One of the most curious non-English
customs prevailing here is the use OF
the word "Mahlzeit," literally trans
lated "Mealtime" This expression is
always used after dinner. Every one
on rising says "mahlzeit," and shakes
hands with every one else. The Or
iginal meaning of the word was, ~
wish you blessed meal" That was
finally shortened to blessed meal"
and finally the one word alone was
uttered as sign of politeness. 1t is
curious to note the way in which the
expression is used by the uneducated
classes. With them one hears it all
the day through, especially, however,
before and after lunch.

Long neglected and unpruned young
sapplings had sprung up everywhere,

titled acres until the house stood vir-
tually in the midst OF vast locust
thicket 1t was now in full bloom,
and from every twig depended great
snowy plumes, that waved in the soft
spring breeze and made the air heavy
with their perfume
From the moment of our arrival
Arthur began to improve, and it was
while he was in the first flush Of re-
turning health and happiness that he
painted his famous picture, Spring"
and into 1t he somehow put some OF
that riotous joy in mere living we all
feel when we have been down to the
doors OF death, and are recovering, and
every breath brings with it the thrill
Of returning strength. The picture
was very simple. Just the figure OF

white rain Of locust blooms, and on
her face the ineffable glory OF youth
and love-that look that never comes
but once in lifetime, when the
springtme Of the heart meets the
springtime of the year
When the picture was done Arthur
sent it to the exposition where as
you remember it was the sensation of
the year and sold for what seemed to
us little fortune Better still, it at
tracted the attention of an old college
friend of whom Arthur had lost sight,
and who, coming South on business,
dropped off to make us a little visit.
He was shrewd man of affairs, and
when he saw our locust thicket, he
fairly gasped with surprise.
ut is little gold mine" he said,
where did you get it?" and told him
of how the worthless old acres had
been allotted me in the division
of the family estate, when l was
baby and had no one to look out for
my interests, and how they had been
left to grow up as they would.
Well" he said, with grim SMILE

acres have grown into fortune" and
so indeed they had Our business
friend sold our locust forest to rail-
road company, and we have long been
back In the city, where We have
charming home, and where Arthur is
winning the recognition his talent de-
serves.
He is now engaged in painting my
aunt's portrait, and that-from my
aunt-is equivalent to melodramatic
blessing, with tears.

Mrs. Olberg was Judge of Linen and

GREAT STOCK OF GOLD.
Accumulation In the United states
Treasury and branches
Is S474,1OS,330.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The largest
stock of gold coin and bullion ever
held in the United States is now &C.
cumulated in the treasury and its
branches. The total has been rising
steadily during the whole of the pres
ent year, and is now $474, los, 1886. or
about $76,0OO,000 greater than at the
close of 1899. This gold is not all the
direct property of the United States,
but is held against outstanding gold
certificates. The amount of these. less
the amount in the treasury and its
branches, was $3.50, 500 Wednesday.
All the remaining gold. amounting to
about s243,C0o,OoO belongs to the
treasury as a part of the reserve fund
of $150,000, 900. The influx of gold into
the treasury comes partly from the
new gold from the Klondike and 9TH
er mines, but it's retention is due to
the pressure for currency, which leads
to the acceptance of gold certificates
and other paper money in preference
to coin.
The gold supply of the country on
the last day of 1896 was estimated at
$602, 947,212. The estimated amount
November !, 1900, was s1,0sO,O27, 407,
and it is probable that the report for
December / will show at least eleven
hundred millions of dollars. The
treasury officials are confident that the
round sum of $475,00o,0O0 in treasury
gold holdings will soon be attained,
and that even $500. 900. 900 is not be-
yond reasonable expectation.
