Origin of Celery.

Wild celery has been known from the
earliest times. It is spoken of in the
Odyssey under the name of selinon and
in Theoprastus; but later, Dioscroides
and Pliny distinguished between the
wild and cultivated celery. In the lat
ter the leaves are bleached, which
greatly diminishes their brittleness.
The wild plant has wide range. It
extends from Sweden to Alveria,
Egypt, Abyssinia. and in Asia from the
Caucasus to Beluchistan, and the noun
tains Of British India. It grows in
bitches and other damp places and in
Europe it is rank. coarse, and some
what poisonous. Prof Gray calls it "a
strong-scented, acrid, if not poisonous
plant, of the coast of Europe; of which
the variety, Dulce, garden celery is rem
dered bland, and the base of the leaf
stalks enlarged. Succulent and edible
when blanched, through long cultiva-
ton" One variety of cultivated celery,
the celerioc. is raised only for the root
or base Of the leaves, which becomes a
white solid bulb. This is more COM
monty called turnip-rooted celery and
differs more widely than the other from
wild celery. The larger plant, also
called Smellage, is kin to celery and
botanically are species Of the parsley
family.-G0od Housekeeping.

THE UNEXPECTED.

BY FRANK ROE BATCHELDER.
She was the reig ming belle
ST. aightway in love / fell
Potent became the spell
Too plain for masking.
Then for time wooed-
For her sweet favor sued,
Till d my courage screwed
Up to the asking"
Out of the glare and heat,
Where to tue music's beat
Tripped the untiring feet
Of the gay dancer,
Gently led my fair
Partner, so debOnaire,
Told her the whole. and there
Waited her answer.
Sweet was the flowers perfume
Weird the enshadowiDg gloom;
From the gay, lighted room,
sweet strains came family.
Turning, she smiled and blushed,
Murmured surprise, and flushed,
Then, in the Silence hushed,
Answered me quantity.
Doubtless you think, she said,
When she had raised her head,
That which all lovers dread;
"She'd lie my sister,"
That's where you've made a guess
wrong, as you must con ess;
For she said softly: Eyes !"
Yes and | kissed her

Care of the Harness.

The Boston Globe gives the following
good advice to farmers and teamsters:
LET me say to all having anything to
do with the harness-keep out the
lampblack. Itnever was intended to
use on any kind of leather that is to be
BACKED on the grain side, but only on
the flesh side, of such as is used for
shoe leather, because when applied 10
the grain side it will rub off on your
hands every time there is damp spell
or the leather gets wet. Nearly all
country stores and harness shops keep
for sale a preparation of neatsfoot oil,
lampblack and other ingredients, for
the purpose Of oiling harness. A better
plan for cleaning, blacking and oiling
your harness is this: First, take the
harness apart wherever it can be I'M
buckled; give each strap a good wash
ing using luke-warm water with little
washing soda in it. Scrub them well
with a scrubbing brush, and be sure
you get all the grease and dirt off.
are soft and plant, for it is no use to
apply oil on dry, horny leather-it will
never become soft After the harness
is thoroughly cleansed with the soda
water you will End places on some parts
that will be red or foxy. To cover
these rightly little previous prepa-
ration must be lie. Take small keg
or half barrel, and get some iron fl
ings from machine shop, or old rusted
stOvepipe, wornout horseshoes-any
kind of iron-put them in this key and
cover with cider vinegar. Always keep
it on hand, for the longer it stands the
stronger it will get. After lew weeks
draw off some of this color and put a
little copperas into it. Now you have a
complete grain color; know Of none
better. Take brush and apply this
liquid to parts on the harness that show
red, or you can 60 all over them with it.
This must be done Immediately after
you have washed your harness, before
oiling, because it will not take where
been done, hand in room where they
will not dry too rapidly, until about
three parts dry, then apply cod oil
plentifully on both sides-not meats
foot oil as has been recommended.
The cod oil has more body and is more
lasting than any other oil I have ever
used on leather that has been tanned
with bark. Besides. if you use heats
foot oil, the rats and mice will eat your
harness, while that creased with cod oil
they will not touch. After giving a
good coat of this cod oil, hang up as be-
fore until dry. Then I would go over
them again with the oil. giving them
but light coat of it this time. After
that dries in, wipe off with a dry, coarse
cloth. For common work harness
nothing more is needed, but for car
riage harness 60 over with a sponge and
CASTLE soap, and wipe with a dry cha
mois skin, and you may depend upon it
there will be no black to rub off on your
hands"

Returning Yankees Knapsack
From me Lynchburg Cva.) Advance

From Inc Lynchburg Va.l Advance.
At the battle of Charlottesville John
Gardner captured a Yankees knapsack,
and when Stonewall Jackson gave the
boys rest Mr.. Gardner proceeded to
ego through" his prize, in which he
found bible, portfolio, and a number
of letters, and after reading the letters
he bundled the entire contents up and
sent them to his mother. After the
close of hostilities he wrote to the sol
der who lost the knapsack, telling him
that his goods. letters, etc., came in his
possession. His name was William
Noonen, and he lived at Perry, Wyom-
ing County, n. J. Mr.. Noonen wrote
that he would come down to Virginia
and get the articles; but a few weeks
ago letter was received from Noonen,
stating that he had been unable to come
and to send the package by express,
which Mr.. Gardner did on Monday.
The knapsack was captured within about
two hundred yards of the place where
Gen. Jackson received his fatal wound

How seed1ess Raisins are Grown.

The seedless raisin is a smallis b
cream colored fruit, about the size of a
gooseberry, and is used with an un-
broken skin. 1t comes from Smyrna
and is called the Sultana. 1t is grown
seedless simply by arresting one of the
laws of nature. When the grape is
about half ripe the end of the vine is
bent down and buried in the ground.
This prevents the formation of seed
and the full development of the fruit,
but it ripens all the same and has de-
licious flavor Seedless raisins have en-
tirely supplanted other kinds in fine
buildings and pies. They retail at
about so cents per pound. -Maa and Er-

The Crawford psan.

In reply to the suggestion in last
evenings Tribune we would state
that the Crawford plan was pro-
posed to Mr.. Bartine by many lead
ing Republicans, and at once ac-
copied by him. Judge Leonard was
undecided, and subsequently con-
cluded to make no contest in this
county. Therefore there was moth
ing for Mr. Bartine to do but run a
ticket of his own. How there can
be job in ii man running ticket
which is openly and honestly for
himself, is something We can scarce
Nv understand.

The Frost.

There seems to be diversity of
opinion regarding the effect of the
frost on fruit.
In the Western part OF the city
several families kept damp straw
fires going ali night making a thick
smoke which seemed to ward eff
the frost.
Hub. Parker, insists that he has
examined the buds and blossoms
carefully and finds no sign of in
jury by the cold.
General Clarke says that all his
fruit trees were bitten.
The frost seems to have struck
Carson in spots. The farmers up
the valley report thei, fruit crops
ruined, but them down near Wash
oe Lake say that they escaped.

Good News fer Austin.

The legal difficulties between the
creditors OF the Manhattan mine at
Austin have been satisfactorily set

slime operations. Orders have been
received to put on sufficient force
of men to overhaul the coucentrat-
Jag plant to get in readiness to start

A Test Of the Question.

The liquor people insist that were
the tariff on spurious drinks wiped
out 1t would result in business de-
preston.
The temperance people as strenu-
ouslv insist that the result would be
general prosperity and progress.
The APPEAL suggests that In
order TO make a fair test OF the
question, take 900 drinking men
and like number of temperance
people and divide them into two
towns, say 20 miles apart, and let
them run their towns respectively
for five or ten years, and at the end
of that time see which town has the
most population and public i'm
provements.
This would be fair test OF the
matter, and settle forever ques-
ton which has been for several cen
turtles Il dispute.

Origin of Stanford University

Origin of Stanford University.
Geo. Alfred Townsend gives the
following account of the origin OF the
Leland Stanford University:
On the night on which his only
son died OF fever at Florence, Italy,
Senator Stanford. WON out with
watching, lay asleep in room ad-
joining that of the patient. The
doors between the rooms were
closed, and while the father slept
the boy died. In his sleep Senator
Stanford heard his son say to
him:
"Father, don't say you have
nothing to live for. Live for hu-
manity, father" Senator Stanford
awoke and told his wife OF his
dream. At that moment, it may
be said, the Stanford University
was born New York World.
