Seed Growing.

A line Of farming which offers good
opportunities in many places is the
growing Of crops for seed. OF course
this will require more care and expense
than is usually given the same crops,
and also demands some skill, but the
returns will also be greater. Most
farmers would be willing to pay q pre-
MUM for well seeds and well selected
corn for planting. SO with the other
cereals. Then there are some crops
such as the hairy vetch, the cowpea
and the soy bean, the seed of which
can be easily grown, and for which
there is an increasing demand at good
prices. To the man who can invest a
little money and some skill and knowl.
edge in this work it seems to offer
splendid returns.-E. E. Miller, in The
Epitomist.

Is the Shirt waist Passing ?

Two guests at a well known Saratoga
hotel the other day were talking about
the tendencies of the times as regards
fashions.
Isn't it strange not to see more shirt
waists worn herer' exclaimed one.
"The women put on in the morning
gowns of lawn or light silk, elabor-
ately trimmed with lace, and almost
always long"
"Yes, I've been noticing it," returned
the other. "They are wearing here,
mornings, gowns that should think
myself lucky to have for evenings"
And she was the daughter Of a man
of wide reputed wealth.
"DOes it mean that shirt waists are
going by, 1 wonder?" continued the
first woman Even the women who
dress most simply are wearing al-of-a-
kind gowns"
Dear me, it doesn't seem as If any
fashion could rout the shirt waist,

get into, there's nothing more com.

Melons, Cucumbers and squashes.
The ground was worked out and
holes were made for each hill eight

was spread evenly over the bottom of
each hole to a depth of three inches

fuls of compost, which brought the hill
level with the surface. The seeds
were planted by hand, one and a half
to two inches deep, fifteen OF twenty to
hill, and placed germ end down. Each
hill was sown with few radish seed,
lightly covered, and the soil compact
ed. The hills were made six feet apart
for muskmelons, four feet for cucum-
bers and eight feet for squashes and
watermelOns.
Cultivation was begun as soon as
the plants were up and continued
every other day until August /, work
ing as close to the hill as the vines would
permit. As soon as the vines reached
a length of three feet the ends were
pinched off to promote the growth of
laterals and fruit close to the hill. AS
soon as the vines were large enough
the radishes were pulled and the
plants thinned to three in a hill, whence
they made good progress In plant

An Impression of Helen Keller.

Helen Keller, the wonderful blind
and deaf girl has been on a visit to the
Jersey coast. A woman who met her
and talked with her-for she has been
taught to speak-gives the following
picture Of her: "She is a small, slen-
der creature, with a small, thin face,
alert to the verge Of sharpness. She
is lively and filed with enthusiasm
and interested in everything. Her
movements are remarkably quick anu
agile and have nothing of the pathetic
timidity and hesitancy of most blind
persons She wears the daintiest and
smartest of frocks, and seems to take
pleasure in their prettiness. Aside
from her unusual intellect and attain
ments, she is a woman of the world,
having travelled and met women in
all walks of life. She has been made
much Of by scientists and leaders of
educational thought; she has shaken
hands with royalty and been feted by
personages who remain mere great
names to most girls Of her age. All this
unusual experience has helped to make
this wonderful girl more interesting to
talk to, but she is not absolutely I'M
like other girls at all, and one proof
of it is that she is a blt-just a wee
bit-spoiled by adulation and attention.
But it makes her more human and
natural."-New York Commercial Ad.

Celery. which belongs 10 the parsley
family, Is IN season from September
until April, and should be In daily use
on the family table. II Is one of the
best nervlnes known, Is invaluable as
a salad, and IS Of great importance In
the kitchen. where II may be used In
many ways as a lavorlng, as a yege-
table IN soup. or as a salad Every
part of a bunch Of celery is available
I'm some department Of cookery.
For table use, select firm, white
stalks; wash them thoroughly, then
scrape them and lay them In water
until they are crisp and cold When
ready to serve, dry In cloth and split
the stalk down almost to the bottom,
allowing few Of the tender white
leaves to remain. Serve In a celery
glass or on a dish with little salt.
Celery Salad-The larger stalks may
be used for salad, by cutting into
pieces three-quarters Of an inch long.
After cutting, measure, and to each
pint Of celery allow half a pint Of may
onnalse dressing. DO not mix the dress
ing with the celery until ready to
serve
Waldorf Salad-Waldorf salad is
made by using equal parts of celery
and dice, cut from crisp, spicy apples,
covered with a very heavy mayonnaise
dressing that will thoroughly mask
the celery and apples. This should be
served with crackers and cheese, as a
separate course at a dinner.
Cream Soup-A delicate cream soup
may be made by mixing one quart of
chicken jelly with one quart of rich
cream, after both have come to the
boil in separate saucepans. Put the
jelly to boil, and in it put three or
four stalks of celery or an equal num-
Der of the coarser stalks. Remove af-
ter it has boiled for an hour and mash
through a colander, returning the cell
cry to the stock When the cream has
come to the boil mix into it two even
teaspoonfuls of -four mixed With one
tablespoonful Of butter until well
creamed, then stir it into the cream
until it is well thickened, and pour the
mixture into the stock. Stir until we'll
heated, and serve Immediately with
croutons, which give flavor that can
not be impaired in any other way, and
seems especially necessary to celery
soup.
An inexpensive SOup-A less expen-
sive soup may be made by using a
knuczle of veal instead of chicken.
Cover a large knuckle of veal with
three quarts of cold water and put it
over a slow fire. Simmer gently and
skim frequently. When it has boiled
for three hours remove and strain.
Put on the stove again, with a bay
leaf, a carrot, a turnip a blade Of
mace small onion two cloves and a
sprig Of parsley, and three or four
stalks of celery Boil half an hour,
remove and strain. Take an equal
amount Of this when it has jellied and
cream and proceed as directed for
celery cream soup.
-
Celery Vinegar-Celery vinegar is
useful for favoring, and may be made
of pieces of celery covered with some
pure cider vinegar, or the celery seeds
may be used. If the seeds are to be
used, cover one ounce of celery seed
with one quart of pure cider vinegar
and let it stand two weeks, shaking il
, every day. 1t will then be ready fol
use. .r.

KING OF ENGLAND
STEADILY IMPROVES

London. July l.--With the exception
Ct the mention Of somewhat unsatis-
factory condition Of the operation
wound. the official bulletin regarding
the kings condition posted at Bucking-
ham Palace yesterday, continues TO be
OF the favorable tone of those issued
for the past three days.
The General public is becoming more
convinced, as the days wear on, that
his majesty's recovery Is but matter
Of time There were but few watchers
at the palace gates last night.
The doctors are now hopeful of pass
ing tomorrow without any untowards
symp. pms. If they succeed, the king
viii then be quite cut Of danger, and
we'll on his way towards convalescence
Yesterdays bulletin Is generally ac-
cepted as satisfactory, though the doc
tors repeated mention of pain in the
wound causes a certain uneasiness, as
this is known to be the point where
complications are most feared
The public. now that the Immediate
danger Of complications is past, is con-
cerned with the date Of the coronation.
The London correspondent of the Bir-
mingham Post says that from the time
the king is out Of danger-that is
when the doctors cease to issue bulle-
tins-there will be three more months
before the king will regain his usual
health. 1t is possible that the corona
ton viii occur in October, but whether
Il will be held then viii depend upor
the character the king desires to give
the ceremonial.
The general feeling Of relief as a re
suit OF the favorable reports of the con
dition of the king vented itself las
night by the touching off of the 3,O0l
bonfres throughout the United King
dom. which were originally prepared
to celebrate coronation night Tho sig
nal to light the fires was given at five
minutes past o'clock. A rocket wa
sent up from the top of the gigantic
wheel in Earl's Court, and burst in ;
cloud OF stars 1000 feet overhead. Il
response to this signal, bonfires ros
from every elevation of any conse
quence from the Lizard to the Orkneys
The celebrations were unfortunatel,
somewhat dampened by downfall o
rain.

OPERATORS DBNY
BREAK In STRIKE
Those at WiIkeSbarre Did Not
Authorize Statement
Report That Men Applied for Work in
Large Numbers Denied-MeR
Pirmer Than Ever

Wilkcsbarre. Pa, July 1.-The state
ment published yesterday that the
strike is on the point of breaking up,
that the strikers are applying for work
in large numbers, and that the opera
tors believe they could readily operate
two-thrds OF their oollieries If the men
We're given proper protection, is denied.
+. M. Chase, superintendent of the Le-
high Valley Coal Company, said Il
deny that my company authorized such
a statement. It is absurd
w. ]. Richards, general suDerintend-
ent of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre
Coal Company, stated 81 know nothing
about this"
AT the Offices of the Susquehanna
Coal Company nothing was known of
the origin of the statement THESE
three companies are the only coal con-
Germs with offices in this city.
T. d. Nichols, president of District
No. /, said: "The statement that there
is a break in the strikers ranks is an
absolute untruth. 1t has no founda-
ton. The strikers today are frmer
than ever"
All the engineers of the Delaware
and Hudson collieries in the Wyoming
region are now at work. This was given
out officially by the superintendent Of
the company. At strike headquarters,
however. it is claimed that the report
is misleading. National Board Member
John Fallon says the company may
have more engineers at work now than
it had, but they are mostly new men.
The old engineers are still standing by
the strikers.
The local coal operators are inclined
to ridicule the statement credited to
7. d. Nichols, president of District No.
/, to the effect that the United Mine
Workers will make an appeal to the
governor for troops to protect the
strikers and the people in general from
the brutality of the coal and iron po-
licemen, who the officers of the United
Mine Workers claim get intoxicated
when the opportunity offers and then
begin firing off their revolvers at peo-
pie in the streets.
A record has been kept ct strike
headquarters here, and II shows thal
throughout the entire strike belt for
the past three weeks there have been
no less than 81 arrests of special Off
GERS charged with drunkenness and
flourishing firearms. The operators say
if the state militia Is sent into the Goa
regions it viii be to y otect innocent
people against the strikers. who are
becoming more lawless every day.
The Citizens Alliance OF Wilkesbarr'
offers rewards aggregating $4,000 fol
the arrest and conviction of all per
sons engaged in boycotting, hanging
efigies and other criminal acts of in
timidation prejudicial to the rights o
American freedom. A reward of 81,
600 is offered for the arrest and con
viction of any one who enters into
conspiracy to boycott any individual
firm OF corporation. For hanging any
body in effigy $500 reward will be paid
At strike headquarters it is claimeI
that the offering of such large reward
will cause irresponsible detectives 4
arrest innocent people in the hope o
securing the rewards.
