AN APPRECIATIvE LETTER.


 The people of this vicinity as we'll as the summer guests feel very grateful to A. P. Smith of THE BEE, with other helpers, for displaying in THE BEE of last week few of the beauties and attractions of Lake Waramaug. with views of several of the cottages which now dot it's border. There is no doubt that this lake can be made one of the most popular resorts in the state. A few more like Brother Smith would very much aid in its develop ment. His energy has not Jagged by one or two or three attempts. but he has been ready and willing each sea- son to bring this part of Nature and mans handiwork before the readers of his estimable paper, and has most ex- ceptionally noticed the current events weekly about our Lake. No editor has striven more earnestly and per siStently than Brother Smith, season after season, to bring this lake before the public gaze in the columns of his paper, and has in all seasons been ready to insert anything of interest connected withour village and vicinity. No village or locality has been noticed more in his paper than this, and we believe all interested parties have be- come more and more aware of the fact. We hope Brother Smith may at least reap just pecuniary reward from this by generous sale of "BEE's," and a greatly increased subscription list.

Perhaps everyone who read the

GOOD EnaravInaa in Demand.

There Is a great demand now for
good engravings, although Tor a score
of years they have been very much out
of fashion. They were hidden away to
make way for pictures more modish,
although of less value. Since they
have again been declared the fashion,
there has been a hunt for them
through the unimportant rooms to
which they had been banished. Per
sons who held on to the old engrav-
ings they possessed will find them
now much Increased in value. The de-
mand is greater for those dealing with
American subjects. Engravings were
sold by the Fifth e n shops during
the recent holidays more than any
other kind of picture.-New York Sun.

CHESTNUT FLOUR OF CORSICA.
Much Used but Produces Inferior
Kind OF Bread.

Much Used but Produces Inferior
Kind Of Bread.
The chestnut Is the wheat of Cor
sica, and its -four is used in the form
of bread or polenta by the peasants
throughout the island. The chestnuts
are slowly dried over a small wood
fire and stored until required for
grinding. The mills are OF the sim
plest construction, and consist of a
wooden water wheel whose axis turns
a milestone which brushes the shelled
chestnuts against a fixed stone.
The cheaper grades of flour are
of a dirty color owing to the pres
ence of particles of the shells and
contain between IL and IL per cent OF
moisture. The composition of differ
ent varieties of the -four has been
determined recently by M. Comte.
who finds that chestnut flour closely
approximates wheat -four in its food
value. 1t contains about the same
amount OF starch, more fat and cellu-
lose, but less heterogeneous substances
q to 9 per cent, as against 10 to 16
per cent In wheat fiour). Chestnut
flour attracts moisture very rapidly,
and therefore soon becomes mouldy
unless kept in alright vessels. 1t
has also the drawback of not being
easily influenced by the action of
yeast, and thus produces an inferior
kind of bread.
