Tho Sourishing Cne.tnut.

The London Lancet finds that the
chestnut la the most digestlble nut and
cannot only take the place Of the pota-
to, as In France, where chestnuts, boil
ed and mashed like potatoes, make n
delicious dish, but In reality they are n
more perfect form Of food. According
to the Lancet's analysis of the potnto
and the chestnut, the latter contains
less water more proteld, moro fat and
starch, but less mineral matter, than
the potato and is more digestible than
the latter. Like the potato, also. its
nutritive and digestive qualities are
greatest when baked or roasted.

CURIOUS OATHs.
Odd Ways of Swearing to the Truth
of Ones Statements.

Odd Ways of Swearing to the Truth
of Ones Statements.
When Chinamnn swears to tell the
truth he kncels down, and china
saucer is given to him. The following
oath Is then administered: You Shall
tell the truth and the whole truth. The
saucer Is cracked, and II you DO not
tell the truth your soul will be cracked
like the saucer" when lie breaks the
Saucer. Other symbolic variations Of
the Chinese oath are the extinguishing
OF candle or cutting off Of cocks
head, the light of the candle represent
ing the witness soul and the fate Of
the cock symbolizing the fate of a
perjurer.
In certain parts of India tigers and
lizards skins take the place OF the
Bible OF Christian countries. and the
penalty of breaking the oath is that
in one case the witness will become
the prey Of tiger and in the other
that his body will be covered with
scales like lizard.
In Norwegian courts of INV the pro-
lude to the oath proper is long
hOmily on the sanctity Of the oath and
the terrible consequences Of not keep
Ing 1t. When the witness Is duly
crushed by the sense Of his fearful re-
sponslbility the oath Is administered
while he holds aloft his thumb and
fore and middle fingers as IN emblem
Of the trinity.
In IN Italian court tho witness, with
his right hand resting ON an open
Bible, declares, ~ will swear to tell the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth" The NIohammedan takes
the oath with his forehead revercntly
resting on the open Koran. He takes
his bible" in his hand and, STOPPING
low, as IL In the presence Of higher
power, slowly bows his head until 1t
touches the book which to him is in
spire1.
In certain parts of Spain the witness
when taking an oath crosses the thumb
Of one hand over the forefinger of the
other and. kissing this symbolic II
primitive, cross, says, "By this cross
swear to tell the TRUTH"
