Celery

It is strange that so healthful a veg
etable as celery should be used so little,
for while in season it ought to be used
like any other seasonable green thing.
The celery glass with its bouquet of
vivid green, is a bright, attractive Orna-
ment to the dinner-table. The majority
of people never think of eating it in
any way but its raw state, yet there are
ways in which it may be served that are
much more palatabIe.
Boiled or steamed celery IS very nice
Cut up the stalks into inch pieces, put
in a sauce pan and add just enough wa
ter to cover the whole. Throw in a lit
tie salt and let boil until soft, but not
enough so that it falls to pieces. Drain
off the wafer, put the vegetable into a
dish, and while hot serve with butter.
Dreamed celery is very nice. Cut in
inch pieces and cover with milk, to
which, when boiling, add salt and a
small piece of butter. Serve hot. This
way of cooking celery is delicious.
The green stalks and leaves, usually
thrown out, are all useful Cutthe stalks
into small bits, and use them for flavor
ing 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, crunbIe them and place away
in a Wide-mOuthed bottle and keep
closely covered. This viii be found
good for favoriug soups when the eel
cry is out Of the market. Celery seed is
good to keep in the house for faVOring,
and celery salt is, to many, a necessary
condiment.
This plant is a great nervine and those
suffering from any nervous trouble are
much benefited by q liberal use Of it. It Is
also recOmm ended for rheumatism, some
authorities going so far as to say that,
when freely eaten, It is a sure cure for
this painful disease.-Americnn CUtt5~

A MAN near Beaver Falls, Penn,
can cure rheumatism by gently blow
ing on the patients face. There are
some men whose breath would drive
away most anything not absolutely i'm
movable, and probably this man has
that kind of a breath. But we should
think the patients would prefer the
rheumatism to the mode of cure.

Hens in fOcks of ten to twenty will

favorable circumstances, to their utmost
capacity. Hens in hOcks of twenty to
thirty-Ave viii lay only fairly well. In
fOcks of thirty five to fifty they viii not
pay for their feed. More than fifty hens
in one flock are a nuisance that we
would not fool with. This does not
mean that one person cannot keep fifty
hens prOftabIy. 1t does mean, however,
that one person can arrange his fowls in
to fOcks Of fifteen to twenty, giving
them a seperate run, say yard 5Ox2OO
feet, with grass in it, and multiply such
separate runs as much as IS desired, and
make all pay.
writer in the Prairie Farmer does
not believe it profitable to feed hens all
the corn they will eat. He writes: In
the morning give rye, quart to about
sixty hens, sprinkled in straw so that
they have to scratch, and I tell you,
they enjoy scratching for 1t, too. Then
nail up couple of heads of cabbage
in the henhouse, so that they can reach
it, and let them eat all they want

acquired by some people than the ability
to construct model of railroad locomo-
tive with jack knife; and inasmuch as the
position of interpreter of ciphers is an un-

respondents, and even the editor himself,
is often made to bite his lip liz rage at the

there is no excuse for errors escaping the

WILLARD +. CARR.

The funeral of Willard F. Carr, the
teacher who died suddenly at 210 South
Emporia avenue on last Friday evening OF
congestion of the brain, took place yester-
day at 3 O'Clock p M, from the Unitarian
church at the corner of Lawrence avenue
and Second street. to Maple Grove ceme-
! terry.
The services were conducted by the pas
tor, the Rev. Hogeland, whose SERMON
was a most instructive one and replete
with eloquent and pathetic thoughts. 1t
was most fitting effort and will in a
measure Tighten the overburdened heart
of the aged mother who came from To
ledo, Ill, to once more behold the face of
her boy.
The deceased was born in Indiana and
was about 80 years of age.
He was educated in the Normal school
at Danville, Ind, and was student
teacher in the Southern Illinois Normal
college at Carbonate, ILL, where he gradu-
ated in the year 1880.
He taught as principal of the graded
schools in the city of Carmi for four years,
and then came to Kansas. He taught in
Kingman county, and came to this city
about two years ago, embarking IN the
real estate business.
Last fall he secured a position as princi-
pal of one of the city schools. which he held
until his death.
Being OF a strange nervous temperament
and possessing a character especially pc
culiar to himself, he told no one of his ap-
preaching illness until a day. perhaps, be-
fore his death. On Wednesday, the 9Th,
the school board sent substitute to take
charge of his room because of his indIspo-
sition. He was not confined to his bed
until the afternoon preceding the evening
on which he died.
The Drs Minnick were called on Friday
afternoon, and did all they could to relieve
the sufferer; and at his request they adj
ministered a very small injection of NOR
phine. Their efforts. however, were una
vailing, and the patient died at about II
that night.
The ladies of the Unitarian church de-
serve much praise for the kind and con-
siderate manner in which they received
and conferred the bereaved mother and
brother-in-law of the deceased.
Mr.. Carr owned some property in this
CITY. also some land in Labette county.
He leaves widowed mother, one
brother and three or four married sisters
in Indiana and Illinois. His sudden de-
mise makes it most sad for them. They

WICHITA TEACHERS,

The Wichita teachers are receiving mer-
tied recognition at the hands of county SUI
perintendents and others throughout the
state. This doubtless results from their
regular attendance upon state and other
associations. Their good friends are glad
to hear of the good fortune of at least two
of our city principals.

school, lately received certificate from
the state department, and has just been re-

On motion of Mr. Buckeridge the mayor
was instructed to sign the contract for the
city with Mr.. Goldberg, of the Vapor
Light company, for the several hundred
new lights recently ordered by the council.
His honor, Mayor Allen, announced that
as this was the proper meeting for the APP
| pointment of city assessor for the en-
suing year, he would present the name of
Mr.. W. F. Green. Mr.. Green is the pres
ent very efficient assessor and has filled
| that position with eminent credit to him
self and the city for some sixteen years.
Mr. Buckeridge took the floor and said
he did not want Mr.. Green to have the Of
| fee always, but wanted it given to some
man who needed it more. He had no per-
sonal objections to Mr.. Green either as a
gentleman or an assessor.
Mr. Healey said grave mistake had
once been made by an appointment on the
grounds urged by Mr.. Buckeridge, and
urged the confirmation of MIR. Green's ap-
pointment, which was done, all members
voting tor the same except MIR. Bucker-
| idge.
The appropriation ordinance, amounting
to Sc, 327 II for bills allowed, was passed
and the clerk ordered to draw warrants
for the amounts specified upon the city
| treasurer.
On motion of Mr.. Buckeridge adjourned
to go into executive session.
