this service for the curreht fiscal year,
and then deduct what is the probable
amount of fines upon the contractors,
which will accrue in the remaining
quarters Of the year which we esti.
mate at S55 000-during the past two
quarters IL was sl01 ,000--we have the

by the Committee to move to insert as
part OF this bill as the amount nee.
essary to conduct the service to the
30tb of June, 1880
The amount in tho House bill was
too small by $3.50, 900, but the Depart
ment asked 100000 more than was
needed on the basis OF tho contracts
as they now exist. The Committee on
Appropriations OF the Senate have
taken this view Of il, that il is our
duty TO vote the money needed TO
carry on the service on its existing
basis TO the end of the current fiscal
year, but no more. We are willing TO
put under the control of tho Post
Office Department 80 large surplus
as either s565, 900 or s900,0 900, but we
were willing 10 treat it as valid ex-

the mail was carried, and agreed to

the inviting sign, Boys " anted on pan

at the chance, but to Lynn boy "pnn
cakes" have another meaning, and are
pieces of leather called skivings. glued
together and used in heels. The hrst
two shoemakers in Lynn were Thomas
Beard and ,aac Hickman, their names
being found in the second general letter
of the New England company, dated
May 2S. 1929. and their descendants are
now wealthy manufacturers. AT the

buckles continued TO be worn by men

We.shman, gave great impulse and no.
toriety TO the business by producing
shoes equal TO the best made in Eng
land. From that time the craft con-
tinued TO flourish until it became the
principal business of the town. Fathers,

sharp toes, and mad wooden heels,
covered with leather, from half an inch
to Two inches in height, called cross-cut,
common, court. and Wurtemburg
heels. About the year 1900. wooden
heels were discontinued. and leather
heels were used instead. (rhe manufac-
ture of wooden heels was as much

New England numbers among her shoe
makers some of her noblest men. among
whom was John G. Whittier, who left
the manufacturing of shoes for the edi-
torial chair.

Celery Caiturs.


We now of no vegetable which Is
more rapidly coming into popular favor
and the demand for which Is every
where growing SO rapidly rs celery
And still there are thousands OF gar.

the first stalk of celery is yet to grow
and the gardener has yet to learn how

The manner Of clliivsting this deli.
cious and healthful plart has been greatly
simplified within the llst few years. 1t
is not long since il WAS supposed that
to grow celery In this country trench
some two feet in depth must be ex-
cavated, which Of course removed ali the
goods oil, which must be supplied, and
the plants then set in the Bottom so they
could be earthed and the stalks blanched
rs they grew. But few growers prac-
tice this laborious method now. Celery
is naturally salt water plant, thriving
best in n rich, moist situation. The
seeds must he sown early, as they are
usually three weeks in terminating. A
cool, moist situation should be chosen
for seed-bed. As the plants make but
slow growth during the hot and dry
summer months, they are usually not
transpianted out until about the middle
OF July. Hence it is commonly made
second crop on land which has already
been cleared of an carly crop, such rs peas
or potatoes. Land which ias been
heavily manfred early in spring will be
In better condition for celery than that
on which manure is applied just pre-
vious to setting the celery plants. The
plant is gross feeder and requires rich
as well Ms moist and cool soil. The
plants should bo set in slightly de-
pressed rows fully five feet apart in the
row. After the inst OF September tlIe

branches from spreading. The more

that the central shoot or bud is not en-

over winter, if frost and mice are kept
out.
There are many different varieties in
cultivation. yet they do net differ so
greatly from each other rs the varieties
OF most vegetables. We think the ex-
cellence OF celery depends more upon
the care which il receives in growing
than upon the variety, yet there are
some kinds better than others. God
