bring relief in ten minutes. A towel

lief. This treatment in collie works like

It is strange that SO healthful 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 q 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 palatable.
Boiled or steamed celery is very nice.
Cut up the stalks into inch pieces, put
in saucepan and add just enough wa
ter to cover the whole. Throw in lit
tie salt and let boil until soft, but not
enough SO that it falls to pieces. Drain
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. Cut the 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, crumble them and place away
closely covered. This will be found
good for havoring soups when the cell
cry is out of the market. Celery seed is
good to keep in the house for flavoring,
and celery salt is, to many, a necessary
condiment.
This plant is great nervine, and those
suffering from any nervous trouble are
much melted by liberal use of it. 1t is
also recommended for Rheumatism, some
authorities going SO far as to say that,
when freely eaten, it is sure cure for
this painful disease.-American Cultl-

About Color Blindness.

Mr.. Hughes relates that while acting
as assistant engineer on the Granton
railway he frequently returned on one of
the engines from Granton to Edinburgh.
On these occasions he observed that, al
though his undivided attention was di-
rected toward the signal lamps, the
lights of which were visible to him a
long way off, he could not till he was
close upon them distinguish whether
they were red or green. These are the
two colors most commonly confused,
but happily they are visible to the ma
jority of color blind persons when
strongly Illuminated. Railway guards,
therefore, are less liable to mistakes by
night than by day. Inability to discern
any colors at all is very rare, and, in
fact, has never been satisfactorily proved.
A color blind person may have as good a
sight in other ways as anybody else.
The defect Is not occasioned by any
disease in the eye, but seems to have its
sole origin in the brain. A red green
blind person sees only two colors on the
spectrum; all the colors on the side Of
the red (warm colors) are confused to-
gether and all on the side of the violet
Gold %colors), but the warm and the cold
are never confused. Yellow is the one
color which is always distinguishable.
1t is a curious fact that color blindness
is often associated with a corresponding
inability to distinguish musical sounds.

The Sting of the Mexican Wasp.

1t is, when mature and healthy, nearly
two inches long, with a sting that looks
like the point of a fine cambria needle.
1t is brownish red in color and its dispo-
sition is always hostile. When it stings
you there is for a moment or two a sem
sation of numbness about the part, which
rapidly gives place to a pain that can
only be described a agony. If you
could imagine how it would feel to have
a wire drawn through the most sensitive
part of your body and then raised slowly
to a white heat you could perhaps form
a theoretical idea of what the feeling is
like. The sting is never fatal and the

Richard Realra Poems.

Richard Realf, who lived on trans
Mississippi prairies q quarter of a century
ago, turned off many pieces Of rare
beauty and delicacy, besides others of he
roic quality, well deserving of preserva-
ton. He was born In England, and
there used to be romantic stories about
his being a natural son Of Lord Byron.
He is said to have borne a marked re-
semblance to Byron in face and figure,
and the last ten years of his life were
passed, as Byron's were, in wariike adj
venture and poetic creation, which lasted
up to the year of his death. Soon after
he landed at the porto New York, in the
sos, he struck out for the plains of Kan
sas, where he joined the Abolitionist cru
saders under old John Brown of Osa-
wattomie, and he was the hero of many
vicissitudes from that period till the time
of his death under tragical circum-
stances. The merit of Realf's poems will
be seen after their publication New

Teton Folk Lore.

The following statements were made
by Rev. j. Owen Dorsey, in a paper en-
titled "Teton Folk Lore" read before
the Archaeological society. The mate
rial used in the preparation of this paper
was translated by Mr.. Dorsey from a
collection of Teton texts written by
George Bushotter, a Dakota Indian.
The Tetons believe that the buffalo
used to dwell in subterranean lodges.
When one sees a Buffalo in n vision the
animal becomes his guardian, rendering
him almost i~nvulnerabfe, putting d real
buffalo inside of him and comforting on
him the right to. take part in the buffalo
dance. In the olden times there was
also another species of buffalo about
which marvellous tales are told.
On nj occasion some Indians were
attacked by one of these mysterious ami
mails and one of the party was killed.
But the monster walked four times
around the corpse and said: "Arise!'
Immediately the dead man revived. The
monster said: Hereafter you shall be
mysterious. The sun, moon, four winds,
day and night shall serve YOU" From
that time the man could assume any
shape.-Science.

stewins oysters in a Street Car.

Monday afternoon a man stepped out
of Booths place and boarded a south
bound State street car. In his hand he
carried a quart can of oysters. He took
a seat near the center of the car and
carefully slid the can under the seat
near the stovepipe. The conductor had
deadened his fire with fresh coal while
going around the loop, but as the car
bowled along State street the coal caught
and burned up right merrily until the
stove lid became red hot. Then the APP
petizing odor of cooking oysters was dis
tributed through the car. The man who
owned the biyalves did not realize what
was happening until it was too late, and
when he alighted at his destination he
carried home a dry stew instead of a
quart of raw selects. Chicago Herald.
