Before celery is used on the table 1t
is a good plan to keep the roots, leaves
and trimmings and put them in the
oven when the fire is nearly out to dry
thoroughly. Then CRATE the roots and
rub every thing together through a
sieve and use for seasoning. This bit
of economy is recommended by a
Frenchman.who says that in well-reg-
ulated kitchen everything may be put
to some good use, if housekeeper is
careful and "brainy."-N. Y. Tribune.

into very thin slices seven or eight car
