Health Value of Vegetables.

A diet of nothing but celery is said
by some physicians to be II sure cure
for both rheumatism and neuralgia.
Free use of this vegetable is always
recommended to rheumatic patients.
Baked potatoes are digested more
easily than boiled potatoes, and should
therefore be preferred by dyspeptics
In cases of anaemla, cabbages and
spinach are distinctly beneficial Spin
ach Is also almost MS valuable as lithia
water in its effect on the kidneys.
Beets and turnips keep the blood
pure and improve the appetite
TomotCes are thought in Indian to
be IL preventive of cholera. Like en-
dives and watercresses, they stimulate
the healthy action of the liver.
Just after the battle of Fort Donel-
son, General Grant is said to have
telegraphed to Washington that he
would not permit the army to move
till forty wagon loads Of onions that
had been promised to him should ar
rive. Onions are essential to the army
mess, to make pork or beef palatnblc.
But they are also an admirable cure
for sleeplessness and indigestion every
where.
Garlic, leeks and olives stimulate the
circulation of the blood.
Too much meat and too few vegeta-
bles make up the average diet Health
depends on continuous variety.

Dor tried the plan of setting fruit trees
during warm spell of weather in
February His experiment was sue
cessful and he talks of setting all of
his trees hereafter during winter.
In setting trees we use a setting
board, which enables us to keep the
trees i'll straight rows, n thing not
easy to do ordinarily or hillsides. Dig
the holes larger than absolutely neces-
sary to let the roots stralghten out and
arrange the roots just as nature in
tended, then fill in the dirt with care.
When setting in the fall it is not neces-
sary to pack the soil much, as winter
rains will do that. A mound of earth
around newly set tree will do much
to steady it until the roots get hold:
then 1t can be removed. Newly set
trees should lean slightly toward the
south. as the top will then shade the
stem Of the tree and prevent sun

Russia Loans Siberian Emigrants Money

Anna n. Benjamin, In Ainslee's

"There are no bad lands in the

versts farther north We passed

found the climate at that time alto
gethcr delightful. The vegetation, the
trees and shrubs, Were like those Of
New England. The crops were well
along, the people looked prosperous
and contented. 1t Is now several
years since the Russian Government
has adopted II system of colonization
for Siberia. She makes n careful eX-
animation of all candidates for emf.

quisite qualifications receive, with
their families, free transportation 10
the new country. Lands are allotted
to them which are exempt from taxes
for twenty years; at the end of that
time they may be rented or purchased
mt moderate sum- They are almost
entirely free from the obligation of
military service for ten years. Money
is lent to emigrants who already have
a certain amount--otherwls they are
not allowed TO emigrate-which need
not be repaid for thirty years. Agri-
cultural implements are given them
outright. No wonder that some of the
cream of Russian peasantry has been
induced to emigrate. Whole communi-

the air of prosperity about every ST.

ance of the two sections, and came to
the conclusion that the Russian peas
ant betters himself in many ways by
emigration to Siberia.
Hardly day passed as we steamed
up the great rivers that we did not
meet one or more steamers, sometimes
towing barges in addition. filed with
emigrants. They seemed to me to he
the sturdiest people in the world, capa-
bic of enduring the strain and the
hardships which attend the carving
out of living in strange land.
Among the third-class passengers on

fortunes in the new country and were
going back to their own homes to set
