GROWING CELERY.
A Method That Has neen Practtced
with Great Success.

with Great Success.
The following is my plan for growing
celery: Instead OF sowing the seed in
a hot bed or cold frame, as practiced in
Europe, II Is sown in the open ground,
as soon as II is fiji TO work, in April, and
kept carefully clear of weeds until the
time OF planting, in June and July.
In our warmer climate, IL raised in
hot beds, as in England, majority OF
the plants would run 10 seed. The tops
are ,shora off once or twice before
planting, so as to insure "stocky"
plants, which suffer less on being trans
planted. After the ground has been
nicely prepared, lines are struck out on
the level surface three feet apart, and
the plants set six inches apart in rows.
II the weather is dry at the time OF
planting great care should be taken
that the roots are properly "frmed.'
Our custom Is TO turn back on the row
and press by the side OF each plant
gently with the foot. This compacts
the soil and partially excludes the air
from the roots until new rootlets are
| formed, which will usually be in As
hours, after which all danger is over.
| This practice of pressing the soil close
~ around the roots is essential in plant
ing OF all kinds, and millions OF plants
are annually destroyed by It's omission.
After the planting Of the celery is COM
peted nothing further is 10 be done for
six or seven weeks, except running be-
tween the rows with the cultivator or
hoe, and freeing the plants OF weeds un-
til they get strong enough to crowd
them down. This will bring us to about
the middle of August, by which time we
have usually that moist and cold atmos-
phere essential to the growth Of celery.
Then we begin the "earthing up"
necessary for the blanching and whiten-
ing OF that which is wanted for use dur
ing the months of September, October
and November The first operation is
that Of handling, as we term it; that is,
after all the soil has been drawn up
against the plant with the hoe it is
further drawn close around each plant
by the hand firm enough TO keep the
leaves in an upright position and pre-.
vent them from spreading. This being
done more soil is drawn against the row
(either by the pillow or hoe, as circum-
stances require), so rs TO keer the plant
IN this upright position. The blanch-
ing process must, however, be finished
by the spade, which is done by digging
the soil from between the rows and
banking il up clear 10 the top on each
side Of the row Of celery. Three feet is
ample distance between the dwarf va
rieties, but when larger sorts are used
tie width OF the rows should be four or
five feet. Il. Dillon, in Agricultural
Epitomist.

Deafness Cannon he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining OF the fustachian Tube. When
this tube gets nHamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it IS
entirely closed deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored TO its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.

The resolutions of the City Council upon
the Cuban question are not likely to at
tract as much attention as their merits de-
serve. The sending of resolutions intended
for the President to the Navy Department
is a refreshing innovation at which those
who are bound to precedent and etiquette
will laugh and inquire, is this the result of
the much-boasted public schools of Indian
apolis? 1t is of no consequence. There are
those who will sneer at the literary de-
fects of the resolutions. To this it is
enough to observe that the Democratic
members of the City Council do not hold
their places by virtue of competitive exam
ination designed 10 show a familiarity with
the English language as it is written.
There is, however grave, or rather a
ludicrous weakness, in that remarkable
series of whereases and resolutions. 'This
body will lend its moral assistance to the
executive 1t would be interesting to know
who wrote this clause into the resolution
and passed it off upon the unsuspecting
councilman who presented it. 1t would be
interesting, because it would discover to the
world the name of the successor to Artemus
Ward. Imagine the President of the United
States rushing into war upon the assurance
of the moral assistance of the Taggart
Councils
If the Taggart Council had been really de-
sirous of aiding the President it would have
resolved itself into an army corps under
President Mahoney. This done, enough
would have been left to man fleet under
Commodore Higgins famous for his inti-
mate knowledge of schooners, with or with
out six masts. The Mahoney contingent
would not, as ordinary mortals count, num-
Der over a dozen, but if he could have put
them in that unique and somewhat marvel
Gus military costume in which he has
clothed the statue of Gen. William Henry
Harrison, standing on Monument place, the
dozen would have been equal to as many
solid phalanxes serried columns and such
Formed echelon. such would be the dazzling
splendor of this dozen that they would span
a continent. and be more terrific than sew
eral armies, with banners and drum corps.

ston, Clark, with refulgent decorations to

man would fly out of the trocha and hide

Congress has been called upon time and
again to give the country some legislation
which would prevent speculation in wheat,
corn, cotton and other staples through ex-
changes, the general impression being that
the custom was detrimental to the produc-
er, and that dealing in futures is a sort of
gambling which Injuries others than those
who are in the game. The same feeling pre-
vailed in Germany, and law was passed
year ago preventing speculation in agricul-
tural products. The experience of a year
proves that such legislation will not ac-
complisn the purpose for which it is de-
signed and that the producers suffer, while
the mddlemen make larger profits. When
the law went into effect all the exchanges
in Germany were closed by the police,
hence there were no fixed prices for cereals
and the farmers had to depend upon the
middlemen for information. Then the gov
eminent attempted to give the producers
the needed information by announcing the
quotations of the exchanges in other coun-
tries on bulletins in the town halls. The
buyers refused to recognize the prices
quoted. Other devices to announce the
prices failed because there We're no means
to compel the middlemen to pay them, and
the farmers were under the necessity of ac-
cepting the best terms that were offered.
The leaders of the Agrarian party admit
that the legislation is failure.

A Madrid paper, discussing possible COM
binations in case of war between the United
States and SPAIN says 1t does not expect
help from Europe. but hopes the Latin
countries of America will support Spain.
This shows at once the desperation of
SPANS position and Spanish ignorance of
the true situation in this hemisphere. A
few days ago a Spanish diplomat at
European capital declared that in the event
of war if the United States tried to foment
rebellion in the Philippine islands Spain
would retaliate successfully by raising a
rebellion in our Southern States. Now an
able editor, admitting the hopelessness of
Spain securing support in Europe, ex
presses a belief that the Latin countries
of America would come to her aid. Most
Of these countries were formerly Spanish
colonies-Mexico, all the Central American
States and all the South American States
except Brazil, and Brazilians also belong
to the Latin race 1t is forlorn and il
lusory hope that counts on the support of
these States for Spain in a war with the
United States. The traditions of all of them
must preserve "reminiscences of the Spanish
tyranny and misrule which drove them to
rebel, and surely there has been nothing
in Spains recent record to cause revival
of affection If the Latin race did not
prevent all these States from throwing off
Spanish rule when Spain was a power to
be respected, why should it induce them to
assist her in her present enfeebed condi-
ton in perpetuating an odious and abom-
Unable government in the last of her Ameri-
can colonies? OF course they would not
do it. Mexico desires to- see Cuba indie
pendent, and her relations with the United
important of the South American powers,
is on the most friendly terms with the
United States and has recently shown her
good will by selling us two war ships
ordered for her own navy. Assurances have
been received from both Chile and Argen-
tine that if they decide to sell their war
ships the United States shall have them.
In short, it is doubtless safe to say that
not one of the Latin American States would
even sympathize with Spain, much less give
her material support. Such a combination,
even if it could be made, would not be for
midable, but it is not within the scope of
remote possibility Finally, if there should
ever be an alliance of the Latin races for
war purposes it would be met by one of the
Anglo-Saxon race. and it does not require
prophet to foretell the result of such a
contest.

EXPRESS CAR DYNAMITED.
Southern Pacific Train Held Up md
Robbed by Two Men.

TREVER, Cal, March 23.-North- bound
passenger train No. 49, on the Southern Pa
cific road, was held up at Cross creek
bridge, four miles south of Trever, last
night about 1856 by two robbers. The men
boarded the train at Goshen. Soon after
II pulled out they climbed on the engine and
compelled the fireman to cease work. When
the train reached Cross creek the steam
gave out and the train stopped. The ex-
press car was then bombarded with dyna-
mite until it was demolished and the safe
broken open. The mail car was then en-
tered and the mail pouches containing the
through San Francisco registered matter
was cut open and all contents taken. No
one was injured. The robbers had a buggy
in readiness near the scene and they left
in it, going north. 1t is not known here
how much was taken by the robbers from
the express safe. The train was a local
from Los Angeles and a rule does not
carry a great deal OF treasure.
An officer named Meade was on the train
which was held up. He at once gave the
alarm and the sheriffs of several counties
have organized posses who are now on
the trail of the robbers. Some of the pas
sengers were deprived of their valuables.

Mr.. Gallinger,s Speech.

In accordance with notice given yester
day, Mr.. Gallinger was then recognized for
a speech on the condition of affairs in
Cuba. Mr.. Gallinger has recently returned
from the island. He received the most care
full and thoughtful attention of every per-
son within the sound of his voice. In an
Introductory way he said that after the
calm, dispassionate and touching statement
concerning Cuba, made in the Senate re-
Gently by Mr.. Proctor Of Vermont, it
might be well for him to remain silent. but,
yielding to the desire expressed by many
of his colleagues, he had consented to give
a plain recital of some of his observations
on that unhappy island" He referred to
the efforts made by the Cubans in 1929. in
1884, in 1S4S, III 1885, in 1851 in 1865, and again
in 1895. to break the chains that bound them
to Spain in order that they might establish
for themselves free government, upon the
soil that was rightly theirs. Save the last,
all these efforts have ended in failure. That
failure is history, and need not be re-
counted.
Mr. Gallinger then detailed some of the
events leading up to his arrival in Cuba,
and of his reception by Consul General
Lee. General Lee said he, lis deserv-
ing of the highest possible praise for the
manner in which he carries himself in Ha-
vana. Cool and fearless in the midst of
difficulties and dangers, he never loses
sight of the fact that he is an American
citizen, nor is he untnindful of the tremen-
dous responsibilities and duties of his posi-
ton"
Referring to his call upon the autono-
mist Cabinet, Mr. Gallinger said it was
evident that the President of tne Cabinet
was not encouraged in the work. THE
ruth IS, said Mr.. Gallinger, autonomy
is fiat failure, opposed alike by the ultra
Spaniards and the Cubans. The leaders of
the instruction have not forgotten how
the Establishments and brides now being of
fered them are spurned with contempt.
Better death than autonomy, said a lead
ing Cuban TO me, for autonomy Is only
pretense under which we would again be
slaves to Spain.
A WAR OF DIFFERENTIATION.
Mr.. Gallinger recalled that he had heard
during debate in the Senate denials made
that a state of war existed in Cuba, but it
required only a brief personal observation
to convince one that that war actually did
exist. A desolated country and its stricken
people told the story more eloquently than
it could be conveyed in words. The war in
Cuba, however, he said, ITS q war of star
walton and determinations war more cruel
than the world has ever known

developed the fact that there are parents
who will allow their children to go to the
