who can hear the old elms softly whis-

The aldermen last evening concurred
with the councilmen in regard to the
insertion of new f1agpole in the band
stand and if no accident happens the in
seftion will take place. Then will be
put to open shame those who weakly
said that the insertion could not be
made, and those who were unpatriotic
and lethargic enough not to care
whether it was made or not.
The Court of Common Council has
acted with praiseworthy promptness
and vigor in this matter, and the peo-
pie will be pleased. 1t is also pleasant
that the discussion hasn't been a very
long one, and that zone Who Knows"

all been on the side of patriotism and
good taste. The fate of the plan to put
a flagpole on the City Hall is still I'M

fects seen in silver openWork tracery

The polonaise promises to be so styl-
ish that the outright princess gown
will not be so abundant as it has been
for a year past. Yet this style of dress
will be correct for the woman who
can fill it out nicely; indeed, it shows off
fine proportions to such good advantage
that it will not pass out entirely until
present fashions experience very radi-
cal changes. The princess cut is best
when simply made, and when SO con-
structed no other cut is better suited
to the 0ne weaves of cloth than the
weavers have just presented. The
gown of this picture was illustrative of
this point. Its material was ladies
cloth, but a new sort of it, one finer in
finish than any the shop counters have
displayed heretofore. The color was
biscuit shade, and the trimming was
silver embroidery for the bands, and
heavy cream lace for revers and sleeves.

EVOLUTION IN CELERY CULTURE

Some Remarkable Results on Small
Areas of Land.
| Since the practice Of the old plan of
| growing celery in trenches, writes
contributor to the Country Gentleman
there has been an evolution in method
and that which has been evolved the
new celery culture" is the plan of set
ting the plants from six to twelve inch
es apart each way. One can readily
imagine how the departure from the old
orthodox plan has been made. The old
way of digging trenches for celery,
then getting down into them to set the
plants or to hoe them or uncover them
after a heavy rain, banking the plants
to the tops with soil, and then digging
them out of the bottom of the trench
when blanched, required so much work
that some one ventured to try the ex-
pertinent of setting the plants on the
surface of the ground He found that
the plants grew just as well, but the
outside stalk would lop over so he
drew some soil around them to keep
them upright, and thus originated the
new plan. But the labor of banking
when grown on the surface was too
great, and two boards were set on each
side of the plants. This was found to
work so well with some varieties that
all earthing up was dispensed with.
A further discovery was made-that
some of the plants would blanch sooner
than others. The seed was saved each
year. and a new type, called self
bleaching" was established, the two
most prominent varieties of which are
the White Plume and Golden Self
Branching. These varieties made pos
sible a still further advance in celery
culture. They We're SO easily blauched
that it occurred to some one to set the
plants so close together that they
would blanch hH their own shade, and

THE ATTACK ON m. LaHoBT

The shooting of NJ Labor, the cour-
ageous and capable defender of Drey-
fus, is another indication of the terrible
condition of things in France. Such
work as has been done there breeds sui
eide and assassination, and the country
will be lucky if it does not also breed
revolution. The dreadful deed is now
said to have been the work of a crank.
If it was not and if it was the work of
some of those interested in carrying out
the conspiracy against Dreyfus, it was
most dastardly and horrible. 1t will be
relief to find out that the conspiracy
does not deliberately include this latest
crime.
What will happen next? After what
has happened anything may be expect
ed. 1t is to be hoped that Dreyfus is so
well guarded that no crank or vile as
sassin can STAY him.

newspaper item which couples the name

appearance of an advertisement it will

Other South Carolina newspapers are
equally serious on the question, and one
of them, the Columbia State, has some
pointed remarks on the general subject
of medical ethics with reference to adj
vertising. 1t finds many absurdities in
the position taken by the physicians.
They are permitted, it says, to adver-
tise their temporary absence from their
field of practice, and also their return,

A WAKEFUL CONGREGATIONS Sc
CIrRED

During a village service in church
near St Ives an amusing incident af-
feeting the rights of citizens to sleep in
church took place. In the course of
the sermon the preacher stopped and
suddenly requested that some one
would kindly awaken the parish clerk.
This semi ecclesiastical dignitary is in
the habit Of laying his head upon his
arms, burying his nose in his surplice,
and composing himself for a quiet
forty winxs'' Immediately the dis
course commences. A member of the
congregation slightly tickled the gen
tleman with hymn book and the
clerk then turned round to the parson,
nodded kindly, and said: go on, I
amt asleep; I'm listening" This little
interlude had the effect of giving the
preacher wakeful and attentive con-
gregation.-London Telegraph.

ground than could be grown by the old
way.
About two years ago | read the book
by 7. Greiner, entitled THE New Cele-
| ry Culture" This gave me some ideas
and as an experiment / set about ten
spare feet with celery plants about
eight inches apart each way. This
plot was located where the seWer-pipe
from the house emptied on the garden,
| and it was therefore kept moist during
| the whole season. The result was about
two hundred punches of very good eel

at this rate l could grow something like
eighty-fve thousand plants on an acre,
but l did not propose to set an acre UNI
| til l had further experimental.
The next year l set four square rods
with early and late celery, requiring
about five thousand plants. | worked
in about all the stable manure to the
| soil l could, set the plants six by
| twelve inches. and cultivated them one
way with wheel hoe They grew rap
| idly to eight or ten inches, when their
growth almost ceased for want of wa

| the supply of water in the soil not suf-
| flcient for the growth of the plants
with the mass of roots which complete
| ly occupied the ground. A drouth fol-
| flowed late in the summer which made
matters still worse During the day
the plants would wilt and droop to the
ground. I watered portion of the plat
and this started the plants growing.
The remainder did not commence to
grow until the rains came in the fall.
Perhaps half of The plants grew to
marketable size, and the rest were
made marketable by trying two or three
together.

at from two and one-half to five cents

From these experiments 7 learned that
tho main difficulties in the way of
growing celery for market according to
tbis nIan ARE in srnnlvine the water
required for so many plants, and
blanchine them. From experiments al
ready made I think I can overcome the
first difficulty. After the plants had
grown to heigth of six or eight inches,
I would mulch them between the rows
with fine manure, then from some
available course I would bring water to
keen the ground wet. The muching
would retain the moisture and keep the
surface from baking, and the water
would make the plant food in the soil
