Aside from the siege operations at
Port Arthur, large part of the heav-
lest fighting has been along river
banks-at the Yalu, the Al, the Taitse,
the Sha, the Hun or the Lao. The
positions defended have been either
parallel to rivers or upon sites which
owed their strategic value to their
proximity to rivers.
The facts suggest in striking. way
one Of the reasons why the bounda-
ries of states and nations from the
earliest times have been determined
so often by river courses, without re.
gard to other considerations. The
rivers, by affording natural advan.
tages for defense, have fixed the limit
not upon what conquering nations
wanted to possess, but upon what
they were able to Chicago

An odd fact about dressmakers is
that nearly all of them have the same
fault-on the street they cut their
friends. y noted dressmaker said in
explanation of this fact: The street is
to us dressmallers what a picture gal
lery is to artists-a grand storehouse
of ideas. On the street we are always
on the lookout for new fashions, and
from the neck down we study every
person that passes, for from one we
may get new skirt pattern, from an
other new sleeve, from third a new
collar, and so on. We are never buster
than when on the street; our eyes are
never more alert, but they don't reach
up to the face level; they can't spare
the time from their study of dresses to
go any higher than the neck. And
hence on the street we cut impartially
our mothers, our sisters, our best
friends. Philadelphia Bulletin.

PlTHY CELERY.
"Heredity" the Cause of This Trouble
and "ROgueing' the Remedy.

|Heredity" the Cause of This Trouble
and "ROgueing" the Remedy.
Work at the Maryland experiment
station in the comparison of American
grown and French grown celery seed
us regards the production of pithy and
green stalks confirms results formerly
arrived at TO the effect that French
grown seed produces plants true to
type. while American seed produces
plants many of which are pithy and
green. This result is believed to be
due to the more thorough 'rogueing"
practiced by French seedsmen.
An Experiment..
In the station experiments seed was
raised from a typical stalk of the Gold
en- Self Blanching variety that was
completely pithy. OF twelve plants
grown from this seed every one was
pithy, and eleven of the twelve devel-
oped into large, coarse growing green
plants having no resemblance whatev-
er to the type Of Golden Self Blanching.
During the same year seed was saved
from a solid stalk and from pithy
stalk of Dwarf Golden Heart. From
the seed of the solid stalk fourteen
plants were started and twelve har-
vested The twelve plants were true to
the type and free from pithiness. From
the pithy stalk twenty plants We're
raised and every one pithy. They show
ed as decided reversion of type as the
plants from the pithy seed of the Gold
en- Self Branching variety. Many of
the plants from the pithy seed showed
the fine parsley-like foliage so common
in the wild species.
Pjthiness Due to the Parent Plant.
Professors Austin and White say:
After giving this matter careful study
there seems to be no doubt but that
pithiness in celery is due to the parent
plant and not to any extent to the soil,
methods of culture. etc. We believe
that the foregoing results fully prove
that pithiness In American celery is
due to lack of 'rogueing,' or removing
of the pithy plants from the seed beds
of American celery seed growers. We
also believe that green plants that ore
not true to the type are caused by tho
some overwhelmingly, by not remov-
ing from the seed beds every plant that
does not conform to the type of Golden
Self Blanching celery. We are CON
WINGED that what is true of the Golden
Self Blanching is true of several other
varieties of celery. The cause of pith-
mess is hereditary and dates back to
the seed producing plant The differ
ence in soil. cultivation, season, meth
DDS of handling. etc, has very Uttle to
do with causing pithlness. The seed is
contaminated before it reaches the
grower by a condition that he cannot
help"

1t is believed that much of the so
called French seed obtained from Amer
lean sources is adulterated with Amer
lean seed and that "just as good seed
can be grown in this country as in Eu-
rope if our growers will give the same
care and attention to it." In this ex-
detrimental work it has been the rarest
case to find a pithy or green stalk in
celery seed that is imported direct from
the best growers in Europe.
