Celery Culture Simplified.

The tedious task Of digging trenches
to plant celery in, and afterward the
great labor of banking it up to blanch,
prevents thousands of private gar
deners from growing this delicious
vegetable. This year there is offered
to the public new sort known IS
Nells's Self-Blanching Celery, which
can be grown as easily as n head of
cabbage or lettuce, and requires that
only a little earth should bc drawn up
around the stalks, similar to killing
corn, and remain a couple of weeks,
or the nnrsJ qG0riry. rnis esSy rui
lure saves two-thirds of the time re-
quired to cultivate and blanch the old
green sorts. This new variety is dis
tinct. and is of beautiful cream
white color, and crisp and tender.
The introducers offer TO send n packet,
valued at 20 cents, of this rare sort to
any one sending the names and adj
dresses of five persons WHO take pride
in garden, parties who grow vegeta-
bles for market preferred, and also a
two cent stamp to pay for postage and
packing. They will also send free to
anv one who desires it their large nine

lutcly refused to be squclched, and mere

Dali and other games he would quietly
sneak INTO the playground and wait
around near the door for some kind
hearted fellow to come up and talk to

was apt to seek refuge in fight if the
crowd approached him. His great de-
light was to walk up and down with some
other young man, building elaborate
castles in the air; few words of praise
would elatc him as highly as any harsh
ness would defect him. He was by ma
ture light-hearted and bright, but wofuI-
ly lacked application. He had at the
time as indefinite ideas about America as

asked the Americans at the Lycee most
absurd questions about their country.

4 Rash Editor Paws for q Hat.

The Cleveland Press permits little
facetious diversion in its State news col
umn, which is conducted by young
Norwalk newspaper man named Foster.
1t is appropriate to say that he is un-
married and unengaged. Last Tuesday
he published paragraph to this effect:
ga Marion girl started her graduating
essay as follows: Il am fairly Wearied out
with the incessant prating of the lords
of creation on the duties and sphere of
woman" The paragraph closed with
the somewhat dangerous assertion that
the editor would bet new spring hat
that the anthor of that discourse on
woman's sphere could not bake u loaf of
bread. Saturday Mr.. Foster received
from Marion largo box. 1t contained
sundry light loayes of bread and cake,
marvelously toothsome. An accompa,
nying affidavit bore the solemn oath OF
the sweet gid graduate (who possesses
the pretty name OF May Williams) that
she had, unaided, baked the wheat bread
marked exhibit A" the two specimens
of corn bread marked Exhibit b." and
the chocolate cake fExhibit O." The
notary's seal Of Office was affixed 10 the
affidavit, and it was settled beyond q
doubt ia Mr., Fosters mind that his rash
wager had been accepted. He therefore
went out and lavished his weeks salary
