Celery Culture.

Celery in most sections is % second
crop after curly peas, bects, onions, cab
bage, etc. Under the new system of
level culture the seedi is sown in the open
ground some time in April. and as the
seeds are small and the growth of the
young plants slow the seed bed should
be rich ground and well prepared. For
q family garden it will be better TO buy
the few plants required than to raise
them. This can now be done in almost
any section. Transplanting generally
begins in July and extends into August,
according to localities and the earliness
or lateness Of tho crop desired. For
field culture the plants are set six inches
apart, in rows from four to five feet
apart, according as the variety may be
large or dwarf. A small portion Of the
tops is shcared squarely off before set
ting. The cultivation consists in keep
ing down the weeds and banking up the
plants as they increase in height.
For family garden the plants may be
set in rich soil that has been highly man
ured, in rows four feet apart and from
four to five inches apart in the rows.
The first growth will be slow, but as the
cool season approaches and the roots de-
velop the plants will grow rapidly and
the earth should be drawn up to them
and banked around them from time to
time until when taken out on account of
cold weather only ! portion of the top
will be visible. The half dwarf varieties
are the ones advised for garden. Sue
cessful winter storage consists in keep,
ing the edible portion Of the plania cool
and dry, with the roots in moist sand OF

IL time of drought it IL often necCs-
sary TO water plants, especially recently
transplauted trees or shrubs. Unless
really needed it is better not to begin,
for the application OF water to the sur
face as soon as it dries OF leaves dry
crust around the plant, and the loss Of
moisture from below becomes greater
than before, unless the ground n con-
stantly stirred up or water is again ap-
piled. Instead Of pouring Tire water into
hollow space on the surface better
way is to make several holes around tho
tree or shrub with an ipcn rod to receive
it and condnct it at once down among
the roots, a still better method TO par
sue with few favoIites that may need
continual watering for eeversl days is to
sink to level with the surface near the
tree ono or more of the cheap earthcn
flower pots or old tin cans with n few
small llulgs punched through the bottom
and fill them with water. In this way
tho water viii drain out slowly just
where it is wanted and keep tho Poot-
moist while the surface remains compar-
atively dry. In applying water to plants
it should hc MS warm as the atnnosplrere,
and an application that will be slowly
absorbed is better than one poured on,
just as n moderate rain is better than q
hard, dashirg storm.

JeaIousy and Death,

Jealousy was undoubtedly the cause of
the death of Mile. Annette Gaspard, a
young French lady, who lived in II pretty
villa near Versailles. She was only TWEEN
ty-three years old and her own mistress.
For years she had an aversion to the male
sex, but skilled emnloye in porcelain
manufactory named Scere lately obtained
strange influence over her. Scere had an
unsovernable temper, however, and his
frequent outbursts of passion led the fair
Annette to secretly favor the attentions Of
another young man. Score taunted her for
perfidy, and shortly afterwsrd her dead
body, bathed in blood, was found in her
villa under ercircumstanccs which sugS,stsd
suicide. The police, however, think Scsre
murdered the young woman IN III of
jealous fury.

after less than one years connubial happi-
