Colorado celery is this year for the
first time being shipped East. From
an insignificant business of a few
years ago it has developed to an enor-
nous industry. Three years ago such
thing as shipping celery to the
eastern markets was unheard of. But
q few enterprising spirits decided to
make the experiment and were amply
rewarded for their efforts. The re-
turns were so large that the next year
they shipped nearly their entire crop
East. Since then the business has
developed rapidly. and this year will
be the banner season of them all
Nearly twenty-five cars have been
shipped, and a conservative estimate
for the season would be that not less
than forty cars will be shipped alto
gether. AS each carload will easily
average $4,000 pounds in weight, II
means that fully 100000 pounds OF
celery will be used for expert trade

Hlaher Education In India.

India is covered with great universi-
ties and colleges Of excellent rank.
All instruction is in English, but the
more ambitious youth must break
through caste and actually cross the
Kalapani, the "black-water," which an
cient Hindus were prohibited from
yenturing upon.
This one returns an Indo-Gothioue,
emancipated from spiritual law and
tradition. But there is no place for
him either In Hindu or English soci-
ETY.. He cares no longer to live In
the most composite family OF his rela-
lions; he shakes hands and slaps the
back Of the "old man" whose lotus
feet he used to fall and kiss. He
thought the higher education" would
make him great man--an 'lllustrious
fellow-citlzen." But the English who
received him so warmly in London
withdraw their cordially In India. He
has offended his own, and even though
he may through expensive penances
return to his caste, the sacred thread
IT family and spiritual relation Is
broken. His acute attack of English
education has resulted In chronic
gloom and isappointment.-E
