BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.

The butter market started Off yesterday,
after the holiday on Monday, with very little
life, ana there were no indications or any
change in the general situation. Buyers con-
tinued to operate for current wants on the

was maintained If anything. the tendency

become more pronounced towards the close

Buyers were slow to operate yesterday, and
exact selling prices were not easy 10 estao-
lish. The finest Northern creamery in assort-
ed size tubs was quoted ut lH to l953 cents,
but very few sales in trade lots were made at
over 10 cents, and most receivers considered
that a top rate Some thought there was
enough difference in the quality OF the otter-
ings to make quotation of lisa to 1914 cests,
but All admitted that II was hard 10 sell at
over 10 cents. Best quality In TUBS qOuleu at
20 to 20is cents, but few sales at over2g cents
There is no especially new feature to note
in the cheese situation. moderate demand
which indicates fairly healthy market, Is
kept up, but there is no real activity nor any
indication of II desire to stock up for future
wants. The hot weather no doubt makes
buyers cautious. Sales OF choice Northern

NOT What was Promised.

Judging from the deadlock and trian-
gular fight that took place amongst the
members Of the Maryland Legislature the
Republicans of that State should have q
few Republicans from Delaware sent
down there to occupy the Federal offices,
That was the excuse advanced to the Della.
ware Republicans when Collector Of ln-
ternal Revenue Wells was appointed to
succeed Mr. VIM. Robinson. Collector
Parlett promised that Mr.. Wells should,
long before this be given position in
Maryland and a Delawarean given his pc.
sition. But several months have already
passed away and Mr.. Wells still holds on.
We do not think the Republicans of Dsla.
ware have been treated fairly in this APP
pointment as well rs in that of John }.
Kelley, who is Democrat, being appoint.
ed to take charge of the elevator at the
Federal building But then, we were
promised good times when Mckinley was
elected to the Presidency. But tho Re
publicans Of Delaware never had an idea
that these were the kind Of appointments
they were TO receive from the powers at

VARIETIES OF CELERY.

The Special Merits Of White Plume, Gold
en- Self Blanohing and Giant Pascal.
A New York farmer whose crop of
celery is about all marketed, writing to
The National Stockman on varieties Of
celery, drops some valuable hints and
suggestions for Others He says:
Each year I learn something about
its culture, and some notes on the
seasons crop may be of interest to the
amateur engaged in growing celery for
market. I have tried nearly all the diff
ferent varieties and have settled upon
three as being the most profitable for
market.
For marketing from July until No
vember I have found nothing to take
the place of the White Plume. 1t is not
of the best quality, but when it grows
rapidly in rich, moist soil its quality is
much better than when grown under
ordinary conditions. There is no other
variety that can be blanched for early use
so we'll with boards, as it blanohes
clear to the tips, and hotels generally
prefer it. 1t blanohes so quickly after
the blanching boards are set up that the
same boards can be moved three or four
times to blsnoh crop Of summer and
fall celery. I have only boards enough
to blanch about 10000 plants at one
time, but by moving them four times
from July to November can blanoh 49,.
900 plants of the White Plume celery
with them and then use the boards for
storing the winter celery.
l grow few thousand plants Of the
Golden Self Blanching for the Thanks
giving trade and for marketing the first
part of December. 1t is of better quail
ity than the White Plume, and about
the handsomest celery there Is when it
is we'll blanched, but it is q weak grow
or and liable to disease. By making the
ground very rich and spraying With the
bordeaux mixture I am able to- grow
very good crops Of it. One reasoh I have
for groTing tssfsG Golden Self Blanching
than l can the winter varieties.
For late wintsr and spring use ! grow
tneN~<s.t PascRI. Ia Whit niB does
not have hollow stalks, and asit is
dwarf celery the trenches need not be
dug SO deep when it is stored out of
doors. The punches are large when we'll
grown, and the quality is Of the best.

The Beet Sugar Industry.

At recent farmers institute Mr.. f.
E. Dawley, director of the New York
state institutes. was asked his opinion
of the sugar beet as farm crop. Among
other things he said:
Il do not take any stock in the ideas
expressed by some men who are talking
about so to 100 per cent profit in grow
ing sugar beets. l believe that by study,
experiment and the use of special tools
we shall be able to grow beets for 81
per ton, but if we can make as much
from an acre of beets as we can from
all acre Of grain we must be satisfied.
1t may be branch Of farming that will
bring 6 per cent Or 10 per cent, but not
30 per cent profit
1.-The advantage in growing beets in
a country lies in the fact that the peo-
pie must put much work Oh each acre
grown. This means that more men will
own farms and the holdings will be of
less acreage. Each man will work for
himself, and consequently have great
er regard for the country's welfare
This Of itself should lead us to enoour-
age the industry.

PERSIAN RULERS JEWELS.
yAbuisus TATE Of the Costly Gems In the

yAbuisus TATE Of tho Costly Gems In the
fesooct Throne Room.
Who has not heard of the Persian
jewels--their glory, their number,
their priceless worth? When the doors
were unlocked and was taken into the
peacock throne room, found myself
surrounded by mass Of wealth M
equaled in the world. Nowhere are such
treasures, but now here also is there
such an accumulation of rubbish. /
will, however, dismiss the rubbish and
refer only to the treasures Down each
side Of the room were chairs entirely
covered with sheeted gold, and at inter
walls were tables of gold, nailed, shud-
dered to note, with the commonest of
black headed tacks.
At the far end of the room was the
wonder Of the world, the peacock
throne. Whether it is one of the seven
thrones Of the great mogul and was
brought from Delhi / don't know, but
it is certainly the most costly ornament
that the eye of man can look upon. ]
inspected it most carefully. 1t is entire
ly Of silver, great camp bed structure,
but modelled in lovely designs. 1t il in
crusted from end to end and from top to
bottom with diamonds
At the back is star Of brilliants that
makes you blink. The rug on which the
shah sits is edged with precious stones,
and the pillow on which he reclines il
covered with pearls. I could keep on
writing about the dazzling beauties Of
tho throne Of the king Of kings, but
never could get beyond declaring it to
be superb jewel. Some people have
valued it at So, 900, 600. Its real value
is between So, 900, 900 and eS. 1000. 900.
But, though the peacock throne il
the magnum opus Of the Persian crown
jewels, it by NO means extinguishes the
msgnifcence of the other treasures.
Who can attempt, however, to recount
the number of bejeweled arms, the roy
al arms, the flashing aigrets, the trays
piled up with cut and uncut stones and
the bowls filled with pearls that you
can run through your fingers like
handful Of rice? Every one has heard of
the Daria-i-Nur, Or Sea of Light, sister
diamond to the Kohinoor, Or Mountain
Of Light. Every one has also heard Of

late shah Of rs pounds Of pure gold and
81, 1856 gems-the sea of emeralds. Per-

I heard that the Bedouins gave me

Once or twice, OH reaching the bow

weeks. He wasxquatting on the ground.
He neither moved nor turned his head.
I asked him for milk, and he pointed to
his oamels and said, "Take it," AS the
art Of milking camels never formed part

was Of little use to me. But l could not
rouse that man to more active hospital
