We select as moist n place as posi-
BILE. usually on the north side Of some
building. and prepare q seed bed as
for any other small seed and pack the
bed firmly with a board after sowing
the ssed. We cover with tobacco can
vas and water frequently In dry weather.
The bed should be watched closely
as the plants are easily smothered by
weeds.
When plants are three or four inches
high transplant In rich. well-pre-
pared soil. Sometimes we set plants
on the level ground and sometimes We
set In a furrow four or Ave inches
deep. We prefer the latter as the fine
earth a be worked around the small
plants with more ease. destroying tho
weeds that appear and giving needed
cultivation with less labor. In cult.
waiting we use the garden rake and
Keep a fine. loose surface. preserving
as much moisture as possible. We even
cover II footprints.
As soon "a the plants are large
enough we begin Il blanch by killing
up around the plants. being careful to
keep the roll from the center Of plants.
Our experience has been that celery
grows much faster after we
killing. and oftener We draw the

the better plants II makes. Last year
we left II few plants without killing
and they were not worth taking up.

SCHLEY
Pe-ru-na Drug Co, Columbus, Ohio:
Gentlemen: 81 can CheerfuHy say that Mrs. SckLey
has taken Pe-ru-na and I believe with good effect"
w. S. SCHLEY-Washington, d. c.

A DMlRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost
n notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century.
A name that starts terror in the heart of every
Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by a friend recently, his opinion
was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna. the
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his en-
dorsement. 1t appeared on later conversa-
ton that Pcruna has been used in his family,
where it is a %favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. 1t is out OF
the question that so great and famous a man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact i !bs: f'eruna has overcome all
The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1903-12-18

yop?osj!ien and has won its way to the hearts
Of the people. The natufar tirnattty which,
SO many people have felt about giving en-
dorscments to any remedy is giving way.
Gratitude and a desire to help others has
inspired thousands of people to give public
testimonials for Pcruna who heretofore would
not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has
1t happened that SO many men of national
ing to give unqualified and public endorse
mcnts to a proprietary remedy. No amount
of advertising could have accomplished such
a result. Pcruna has won on its own merits.
Pcruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or
location in the human body. That is why it
receives so many notable and unique en-
dorscmcnts.

Scientific Training in America.

From the Electrical World and En-
gineer: In a very interesting lecture
delivered IN London recently on Lord
Bacon, MI. Sidney Lee expressed doubt
whether a temple Of science, such aa
Bacon imagined in THE New Atlantis"
would ever come into existence. At
present the portents were, Mr.. Lee
feared, not favorable for It's emergence
in England. It seemed more likely to
come first to birth in Germany or In
America, where things Of the mind re-
ceived from the general public q con-
sideration which was denied them in
England. The experience of a recent
visit to America had shown Mr.. Lee
that there was nothing In his own land
to compare with the widespread eager
ness among the youth of the United
States to enjoy academic scientific
training. It vas difficult for them ait
home, too, to realize even dimly the
muntficent readiness with which Ameri-
can legislatures responded to demands
made on their resources to supply the
American people with fit endowment
and equipment of research.

From Andre Saglio's The Bigoud-

is hard to know anything about the
surface life Of the Bigoudines, 1t is
still more difficult to penetrate their
thought; to know whether their brains
are agitated by anything but the sim
pie ideas Of the very primitive peo-
pies, the naive reveries Of children, OF
whether they have preserved some
vague traditions of the u~pheavals Of
humanity which have ended by cast
Ing them upon this extreme point OF
