A Maryland Monte Carlo.

The Philadelphia North American says
America Is To have a Monte Carlo There
will be no make believe about IT. To
create. almost within SIGH, Of the dome of
the Capitol at Washington, resort where
men with money may wrestle strenaously
With the tiger in all Of its varied Stripings
of chance. 81, 600, 600 Is being spent,
senator William II Clark, Of Montana,
owns 81 OGo 000 worth of stock. Phila
delphia capitalists have put $3.50, 000 into
the scheme. The bulk Of the capital comes
from the West, principally Colorado.
More than s., O00. 600 has already been
spent Ia transforming waste space Of sand
and brush into city of pleasure, where
the click of the wheel aud the cry Of the
cn,uyier viii resound Increasingly, day and
night, winter aud Summer
'Another S5O0, 400 Is now being paid

Of the patrons whom love 60 gain and the
prospect of being able to indulge unchecked
their passion for gaming may attract to the
new Monte Carlo
Perhaps another million or two may be
required before the resort shall be perfected
To- the satisfaction of the promoters. 1t
ten times that amount were called Tor It
would be quickly provided. There is money
without stint behind the scheme
'.On the shores Of Chesapeake Bay IN
Calvert county, Maryland, 80 miles from
Washington, the town that is to be dedi-
Gated to the Goddess of Chance is being
reared. The laws of Maryland foster and

Keeping Celery.
From the American Gariening.


Some people still ask about storing in
cave, but the only safe plan of cave for
celery is not to make one We have tried
keeping celery in many ways, in cellars,
in pits, and, in fact, in every way shat has
ever been tried but have never been SO
successful as when we have left it in the
rows AS it grew
We dig down on each side OF row as
close as possible to the plant to the bottom
of the roots, then carefully take up sufi-
cient roots for row ON either side of the
first, then pack the earth snugly about the
outer rows, precisely as when the celery
was last earthed up, which leaves the tips
of the leaves uncovered after which cover
the tops TO depth of three inches with
fine hay or straw; then protect the sides
with stalks or leaves, which can be kept
in place with little earth, sufficient to
keep out the frost. An outer covering of
stalks will permit of taking out a supply as
wanted any time during the winter, and it
will always be crisp and have the flavor for
which celery is celebrated.

Exhibit Lifelike Qualities.

Weeds, if they are pulled out of lawn
at time when they are full of seed, will
evinee degree of care for the seeds which
is almost touching They will curl their
leaves upward as far as each can go to cover
the seeds and protect them from the sun
till the end, and often one will find. weeds
that are quite dead, sun-killed, whose
leaves still are wrapped firmly around the
seed pods. Ne mother could show more
striking devotion in death than do these
despised plants.

The Country Paper.
zen he presented her to the man.

From Golfers weekly.
The homing instinct in the blood Is felt
by hard headed, shrewd aud practical men,
engaged in business in great towns, aud ap-
pareutly free from inconvenient sentiment.
Yet, though they con their newspapers with
keen aud eager relish, they throw them
aside when read while some little sheet,
not particularly well printed, and put to-
gether as if jumbled in scrap basket, Is
slipped into the pocket and carried home.
This is the country paper, published up
country, and filled with intimate personal
details, the pleasant aud kindly neighbor
hood gossip which goes on at the postofice
aud around the station when the train
comes in Here are familiar names; the
story of life in farming community, re
lated with minute care; the goings and
comiugs of kindred and acquaintance; the
sales, the purchases, the casualties, the
changes, all chronicled without much art
or skill, but with closest and most satisiac
tory realism.
The man may be millionaire several
times over, but he was once boy on the
farm, aud he will be subscriber to the
country paper as long as he lives.

Making Ducks Lay Black Eggs.

According to a writer in French scien-
tiic paper ducks fed on acorns, which
they will eat ravenously, not unfrequently
lay black eggs. The reason is that their
eggshell is naturally rich in iron, and this
combines with the tannin in the acorn to
produce good, fast black. The same
paper states that if fowls are fed on boiled
lobster shells they will lay bright red eggs.

Care of the Feet.

Very few women have well-shaped feet,
or if they have, they are generally an
noyed with corns or swellinss. When we
consider how valuable il is for men and
women to have normal feet, it is amazing
how they are neglected A Boston law
yer, who has very advanced ideas ON this
subject, allows his children to wear moe
casins until they are old enough to 90 to
school Then their shoes are made of the
softest kid, and with soles the width Of
the foot. In summer they resort to their
moccasins again, and the result is that all
of his children are said to have as perfect
feet as a baby Some say that the cause
of great deal of trouble is wearing black
stocking The heat from the dye causes
an irrant poison, even though the foot is
not discolored The feet should be care
fully bathed every night and then rubbed
with little alcohol The result of this
care would be very beneficial.

A Frenchman has discovered a remedy

The process used in French laundries
''to make table damask look like new
requires no starch. The tablecloths and
napkins are dried as usual and are then
wrung out of boiling water and rolled very
tightly. While still thoroughly wet they
are ironed with as hot an iron as can be
used without scorching.

During the summer and autumn both in
the country and city the eyes and lids Of
ten become infamed from dust, which de
stroys your comfort as well as your looks;
it is therefore good thing to know that
the application of so simple remedy as
borax and water will greatly relieve and
improve their appearance. 1t is best to
have the water as warm as can be borne
without pain. This application is also good

OLD PORTRAIT FOUND IN MANOR HALL.
THOUGHT THAT IT MAY BE A PICTURE OF FRED
ERICK PHIIPsE. WHO OWNED THE
BUILDING.

An old oil painting executed on wood half an inch
thick has been found among lot Of rubbish IN
Manor Hall, Yonkers by James Carter. the Gus
todian OF the building. The picture represents
man in Colonial costume. Some OF those who have
seen il say they are certain that II is portrait Of
none other than Frederick PhiIpse, once the owner
of Manor Hall which built in 1854 and oe-
cupied by Lord Philipse and his family The pict-
re is now in possession Of the Yonkers Historical
Society which will try TO establish its identity.
The picture is considered 10 have artistic merit.
The Historical Society has had art connolsseurs
examine it with a view II possible TO tracing II
through the style OF the painting. The suggestion
thar II NAV be a portrait Of the old lord Of the
ao 17radariclr Pbflinse rose from the similarity
of the features in this picture and in the portrait
Of Marie Philipse, now on eXhibluoh III tHe ola
house al Van Cortlandt Park. -,
The frame is of rough wood. II Is faced with
cloth e-ued 10 the wood which in turn Is covered
with puttylike substance, which was pressed INTO
the shapes OF flowers and vines. When iouhd II
was standing corner of the cellar WIN It's iate
