A Purnatlve Pleasure.

If you ever took DeWitts Little
Early Risers for billiousness or con
stipation you know what a purgative
pleasure is. These famous little pills
cleanse the liver and rid the system
of all bile without producing unpleas-
ant effects. They do not gripe, sicken
or weaken, but give tone and strength
TO the tissues and organs involved. W.

PEACH STONES FOR FUEL.

Have Been Utilized in Baltimore as
Substitute for Coal.
The great strike and the increased
cost of coal incident thereto has d.
rected much attention to other ma
terials for fuel, and a Baltimore man
says good substitute for the black
diamond is dried peach stones. The
only objection to their use is their
scarcity, which depends entirely on
the size of the peach crop. Frank Hall,
the Baltimoreaa referred to, says his
family had used peach stones as fuel
for years until about three or four
years ago, since which time the supply
has appeared to have decreased.

stones from Mr.. Noel, who got them
from the different packing-nouses and

Hall yesterday. II think we paid $3.50

about forty-five bushels. The fuel was
used in: the kitchen and gave good
results. The stones will make quick,

chusetts country boys and girls had
little schooling. About nine months in
the year boys were expected to give
their attention to farm work. A term

Young folks learned more from

are apt to now. So it was with Whit

NURSES LIVES UNROMANTlc.
Seldom Marry Physicians or Patients
They Have Attended,

Seldom Marry Physicians or Patients
They Have Attended.
It is generally supposed that there
is a good deal of romance about the
life of a professional nurse and that
large hospitals are matrimonial
bureaus where men and women fall in
love with incessart regularity. Ex-
actly the opposite is true. Nurses, as
a rule, do. not marry men whom they
have nursed as patients, nor do they
select for husbands the physicians
with whom they come in contact in a
professional way.
In the last year and half but one
engagement among the nurses at the
Chicago hospital has been announced,
and the incident was so unusual that
IL created no end of comment. The
affair was, in fact, an extreme novelty,
although the female attaches of the
institution are unusually good looking.
= This proves that nurses do not
lead the romantic lives that they are
credited with by the outside world"
said physician. II have frequently
heard 1t said that men who had been
seriously ill often married the trained
nurses who had taken care of them.
This is nonsense. I have employed
hundreds of these women nurses in
the course of my practice, and have
yet to hear of a match resulting from
one of them. AS a general thing the
patient takes an aversion to the nurse
who has cared for him, and the better
she has looked after him and the more
strictly she has enforced the doctors
instructions the less he has cared for
her.
physicians sometimes fall in love
with the nurses they meet in their
practice, but such affairs, instead of
being common, are rare. If any girl
enters the profession with the idea of
capturing husband she is apt to find
herself sadly Sold"

A Profitable Celery Patch.

A Philadelphia society that has been
running three-acre cooperative
farm, says in a report: One of the
most interesting and profitable parts
of this three-acre farm was a celery
plot of one-sixteenth of an acre. This
miniature celery farm, after thorough
fertilization and preparation, was
transplanted at the rate of one hun.
dred thousand plants to the acre, the
rows being only nine inches apart,
and the plants sets in drills five~inches
from each other. The plants were
grown in the ordinary way and were
transplanted to the plot at the proper
season for such work. that is, from
the middle of July to the middle of
low or surface cultivation every ten
days, but was never handled or
banked with earth as is usually done
in celery culture. On this one-six.
teenth of an acre five thousand fine
large stalks were matured, and after
being bleached, marketed at an aver.
age of one and one-quarter cents per
stalk. At this rate one acre Of land
will yield a gross product of one
thousand dollars. I am not prepared
to say that this can be done year after
year, for we attempted the same thing
last year and failed, but / am sure
that no. greater risk is incurred in
growing a crop by this method than
would be incurred under the ordinary
way, and l am confident that it can
be done with much less labor in pro-
portion to results. 1T $.sz +. I sEts.szzf h
