Many families of small means look upon
celery as a luxury. The greenish half
blanched stalks of the cheap bunch really
are not very good eating, and the fine
white large crisp bunch costs too much for
the workingman's everyday dinner But
there is an economical way of treating the
large bunch of best celery which makes it
cheap. Use the finer portions of the crisp
stalks as a relish. All the tough portions
and the root carefully cleaned are to be cut
fine, covered with cold water and cooked
slowly till nearly the whole can be rubbed
through a strainer. Half an hour before
dinner heat this liquid celery ". II IN equal
quantity of any kind of meat broth YOU
happen to have in the house, and then add
one pint Of hot milk thickened like a white
sauce, with two tablospoonfuls each Of hut
ter and -four cooked together. Season with
salt. If you have nc broth after your soup
Is in the tureen stir into it slowly ami
smoothly the well beaten yolk OF an egg,
and you will not miss at ali the richness Of
the meat.-New York Press.

other ten writer's. Her full maiden name
was Frances Jane Crosby, but she still pre-
| fers to DO called Fannie. When fifteen
years old, and assured that she would
never see In this world, she wrote these
lines:
Oh, what happy soul ami
Although cannot see,
am resolved that In this world
Contented will be.
How many blessings enjoy
That other people don't!
Whewl To weep or sigh because am
Icannot nor won't.
She has lived In the spirit of her childish
lines and been among the most cheerful of
women A recent visitor expressed sur
prise at her gayety, saying, You actually
seem to be glad you are blindr'
"Yes," Miss Crosby replied. ~ would
not change IL could, for feel this is best
for me- Why, If I had not been blind
should never have had so good an educa-
tion nor know SO many beautiful things by
heart"
She taught school when quite young and
acquired knowledge with astonishing ra-
pidity. She has committed most of the New
Testament to memory and several books OF
the old. She is also a very accomplished
musician, especially upon the guitar, and
generally used that instrument when com
posing the music to her hymns. Her earli-
est productions, however, were not strictly
religious, and among them are many stiil
popular favorites, such as Hazel DelIn
"Rosalie. the Prairie Flower proud
World, Goodby," Pm Going Home"
"Honeysuckle Glen" and There's Music
In the Air." Some OF her cantatas are
Flower Queen" and the pilgrim Fa.
Tiers" W
In 1874, 1910 and 1858 volumes of her DO
etry were published. She wrote a poem on
the death of Henry Clay's son in Mexico
which greatly touched that statesman, and
when he visited the school for the blind
where She was teacher he spoke Of it with
great feeling. She wrote her first distinctly
religious poetry at the request of William
b. Bradbury, the famous composer of sar
cred music, and has since composed over
1900 hymns. The one which brought her
most fano, composed in 1868, is ''Safe in
the Arms OF Jesus" .'Rescue the Perish
ing" IS another popular favorite. Mrs. Van
Allstyne is in good health, and to all who
know her is still tho cheerful and warm
hearted Fannie Crosby.
