Celery.

1t is strange that SO heaIthful vegetable
as celery should be used so little, for while in
season it ought to be used like any other
seasonable green thing. The oe8ery glass,
with its bouquet of vivid green, is bright,
attractive ornament to the dinner table. The
majority of people never think of eating it in
suy way but its raw state, yet there are ways
in which it may be served that are much
more paiatable.
Boiled or steamed celery is very nice. Cut
up the stalks into inch pieces, put in q sauce
pan and add just enough water to cover the
whole Throw in a little selt and let boil
until soft. but not enough so that 1t falls to
pieces Drain of the water, put the vege-
table into q dish, and while hot serve with
butter
Dreamed celery is Tery nice Cut in inch
pieces and cover with milk, 70 which, when
boiling, add salt and a small piece of butter.
Serve hot. This way of cooking celery is de-
licious
The green stalks and leaves, usually thrown
away, are all useful Cut the stalks into
small bits and use them for havoring soups,
broths etc. Put the leaves into pan or
dish and place in the oven to dry. Watch
them that they do not burn and when dry
crulnble them and place away in wide
mouthed bottle and keep closely covered.
This will be found good for navoring soups
when the celery is out of the market. Celery
seed is good TO keep in the house for favor
ing, and celery salt is, to many, a necessary
condiment
This plant is great nervine and those suf-
fering from any nervous trouble are much
benefited by liberal use OF it. 1t is also
recommended for rheumatism, some authori-
ties gUin,; 50 far as to say that when freely
eaten it is sure cure for this painful disease.

mo PRINT you recognize that 1t is not
what It was when you heard II; You
perceive that an immense something has dis
appeared from it. That Is its soul. You have
nothing but a dead carcass left on your
hands Color, play of feature, the varying
modulations of voice, the laugh, the smile,
the informing infections, everything that
gave body, warmth, grace, friendl1ness and
charm, and commended it to your affection,
or at least TO your tolerance, Is gone, and
nothing Is left but a pallid, stiff and repul-
ive cadaver.
Such is talk almost invariably as you sec
it lying in state in an interview. The in
terviewer seldom tries to tell one how a thing
was said: he merely puts in the naked remark
and sto1s there. When one writes for print
his methods are very different. He follows
forms which have but little resemblance to
conversation, but they make the reader under
stand what the writer is trying 10 convey.
And when the writer is making story, and
finds it necessary to report some OF the talk
of his characters, observe how cautiously and
anxiously he goes at that risky and difficult
thing:
''If he had dared to say that thing in my
presence" said Alfred, taking mock heroic
company, blood would have flowed" If he
had dared to say that thing in my presence"
said Hardwood, with that In his eye which
caused more than one heart In that guilty as
semblsge to quake, blood would have
flowed" eff he had dared TO say that thing
In my presence said the paltry blusterer.
with valor on his tongue and pallor on his
lips, "blood would have flowed"
c. Nv ic 1icf hat
naked talk in print conveys no meaning that
he loads and often overloads almost every
utterance of his characters with explana-
lions and interpretations. 1t is a loud con-
fession that print Is poor vehicle for talk,
it Is a recognition that uninterrupted talk In
print would result in confusion to the reader,
not instruction.
Now, in your interview you have certainly
been most accurate, you have set down the
sentences uttered as | said them But you
have not a word Of explanation; what my
manner was at several potntsis not indicated.
Therefore, no reader can possibly know
where | was In earnest and where l was jok-
ing; or whether l was joking altogether or
in earnest altogether. Such a. report of a
conversation has no value. 1t can convey
many meanings to the reader, but never the
right one
To add interpretations which would convey
the right meanings is a something which
would require-what: An art so high and
fine and difficult that no possessor of il would
ever be allowed 30 waste IT ON interviews.
No; spare the reader and spare me; leave
the whole interview out; 1t Is rubbish. l
wouldn't talk in my sleep if couldn't talk
better than that.
If you wish to print anything, print this
letter: 1t may have some value, for 1t may
explain TO reader here and there why it is
that in interviews as rule men seem to talk
Ike any body but themselves.
