Its Culture and Uses.

Josephine Yates, in New Idea Woman's
Magazine.
Parsley, which is known in the bot
anical world as petroselinum sativum,
is a native OF Europe. but the use and
culture of this plant have become so
general in all parts of the world that re-
calling it's native home seems NOW al.
most superfuous.
There were formerly three leading
varieties, the common or plain.leaved,
the curled. and the Hamburg-sage or
carrot-rooted parsley, the last being cul-
tivated for it's roots. which are used in
soups and stews. The horticulturists
have since added several improved kinds
ni parsley, in those known as the fern
lcaved, moss and extra-curled species.
No garden. whether it be large or
small, is complete without row OF pars-
lev, not alone for decorative purposes,
although there are few other salad
greens with which one can garnish so
effectively as with the pretty, feathery
knots of this plant, but for the differ
emit dishes that are made more palat-
able with parsley as seasoning.
The plants are easv Of culture aud the
seeds may be sown in the ground at
any time during the gardening season,
from April until September. When
lor early summer use, the seeds must be
sown in cold frames or window boxes
before it is warm enough for outdoor
planting.
Parsley seed terminates very slowly.
For out door sowing always prepare
the seed by placing it in hot water. to
soak for twenty.four hours, in warm
place. Sow In drills one foot apart, in
rich mellow soil made free from Jumps
and stones. When one or two inches
high, thin out the plants to six inches
apart in the rows. The plants which
are thinned out may be transplanted in
to other beds or borders, and so made
use or

bed OF perennial herbs, and it should al

where it will not be disturbed with the
spring tilling of the rest OF the garden
1t IS a biennial and hardy in most local
tiles, it it be given slight protection OF
boughs or leaves during the winter to
save it from the extreme cold.
Plants raised from seed sown in Sep
TENDER will live two winters and through
the third summer if the flower stalks
are kept carefully pruned during the
growing seasons. Spring sown plants
usually die during the second winter.

To A Bereaved Parent.

When on my ear your loss was knelled.
And tender sympathy upburst,
A little rill from IN .inorv swellrd.
|. Which once had soothed my bitter
I thirst:
And was tain to bear to you
Some portion of its mild relief;
That it might be as healing dew
To steal some fever from your grief
After our child's untroubled breath
Up to the Father took its way,
And on our home the shade of death
Like long twilight haunting lay;
And friends came round with us to weep
Her little spirits swift remove,
This story OF the Alpine sheep
Was told to us by one we love;
They, in the valleys sheltering care,
Soon crop the meadows tender prime.
And when the sod grows brown and bare
The shepherd strives to make them
climb
To airy shelves of pastures green
That hang along the mountains side,
Where grass and flowers lean,
And down through mist the sunbe ams
slide
But nought can tempt the timid things
That steep and rugged path to try,
Enough sweet the shepherd calls and
sings,
And scared below the pasture lie:
Till in his arms their labms he takes,
Along the dizzy verge to go,
Then, needless of the riffs and breaks,
They follow on DER rock and snow.
And in those pastures lifted fair.
More dewey soft than lowland mead,
The shepherd drops his tender care,
And sheep and lambs together feed
This parable BY nature breathed,
Blew on me as the south wind free,
Ger frozen brooks that float unsheathed
From icy thraidom to the sea.
A blissful vision, through the night.
Would all my happy senses sway
Of the good Shepherd on the height,
Or climbing up the stony way:
Holding our little lamb asleep;
And, like the burden of tine sea.
Sounded that voice along the deep,
Saving, Arise and follow me-"

Parsley will grow in temperature of G
few degrees above freezing if it be given

ment furnishes good winter quarters for
house culture of this plant.
With many people the fondness fol
parsley is an acquired taste, like that OF
tomatoes and olives, but when once es
tahlished it is very useful one from the
housekeeper's standpoint.
Frequently when perplexed house
keeper taxes her brain for an appetizine
dish tor breakfast, luncheon or tea one
that is inexpensive and requires but little
time to prepare, parsley will yeild al
effectual aid A plain dish OF warmed
over potatoes will acquire festive ap
pearance as we'll as a delicious flavor by
adding little finely minced parsley and
then scattering few of the whole leaves
over the dish. Every one knows that
any form Of cold meat is given an add
ed relish by the use Of parsley, either
when chopped aud used in combination
as a salad or as garnish to the dishes
Green salads are always incomplete
without dash OF parsley, and all
cooked vegetable salads are made more
savorv by the use of this puugent plant
Again. in soups and stews of both meat
and vegetables, parsley imparts flavor
that no wise cook will omit, Finely
minced parsley mixed with a little
French salad dressing makes delicious
sandwiches. And a dish of the freshly
gathered branches placed on the lunch
con or tea table. TO be dipped in salt
and eaten with bread and butter, will
furnish hygienic appetizer for simple
meal that no carefully prepared sweet
meat, or even elaborate confection
could provide.
Parsley also contains stringent medic.
inal virtues, the root being the otlicinal
part, although the seeds a e some times
used as carnfinatives, and French chem
lists obtain an essential oil from them,
which is used in France as a substitute
for quinine. Apien is a gelatinous sub
stance deposited in the water in which
parsley has been boiled, and is specific
for swollen glands and muscles.
TIE common garden celery (Apium
graveolens) belongs to the same family
as parsley, and in folk lore was termed
ZACH, "smallage" AMI water parsley
1t is also native OF Europe, where it
grows wild in the salt marshes near the
seacoast. A strong family likeness in
these plants is very noticeable both in
the shape of the Leaf and in the flavor.
A scribe of the olden days speaks OF
parsley thus: "rhere is another kind OF
ach, or pa rsley, growing upon the rocks
which they call petroselinum
There are various other plants which
resemble parsley. and the name seems
to be a favorite local appellation for
British herbs, as we find several o. the
native species bearing this cogno men,
although none of them belongs to the
same genus as the parsley. There are
two varieties Of the beaked parsley, SO
named from fruit terminating in beak.
They belong to the Anthricus family "a.
vulgsris) and "a. svlvestris).
The popular salad plant. chervil, is al

Sea water Is a complicated mixture
of great variety of substances.
Roughly speaking, it consists Of 96h
per cent of fresh water plus 312 per
cent OF mineral salts. Three-fourths Of
these salts are chloride Of sodium, or
common table salt, and the next largest
constituent is chloride of magnesium.
After these come sulphate Of magne-
stun, sulphate Of lime, sulphate of pot
ash, bromide of magnesium and carbo-
nate of lime. In addition to these sub
stances sea water contains minute
quantities of quite a variety Of ele-
ments, including iodine, phosphorus
and arsenic. 1t also contains some sill

are made by birds OF the swift tribe,
which are remarkable for the character
of their saliva. This, being extremely
sticky, quickly sets into substance
resembling gelatin, Of which their edi-
bic nests are made. In shape these
resemble half saucer and are usually
to be found in caves, attached to rocks.

PROTECT THE WITNESSES.

There has been no little commeuda-
ton of Judge Neal for protecting wit
nesses who were called cattle" by an
attorney in his court. The character
of the witnesses had not been attack cd,
and the lawyer in this instance had 10
right to so characterize them, ana he
committed the indiscretion without re-
Election.
But some lawyers have gotten in the
habit of attacking witnesses without
reason, and it is the duty of Superior
Court Judge to see that they are pro-
tected from attack. OF course there
are times when a lawyer must attack
bad man who is on the witness stand,
but there has been too much Of abuse
of witnesses. In some places good
men have been outrageously attacked
by over-zealous lawyers and the time
has come when all judges should set
foot down sternly upon such prac~
tiSes
In the case in Wake court, the law
yer felt he was justified, and it was not
an aggravated case, but in polite way
Judge Neal showed that he would pro-
tect witnesses whose character had not
been assailed.

A MATTER OF STATE PRIDE.

The Executive Committee of the
Board of Trustees of the University
yesterday accepted the fifty thousand
dollar gift of Mr.. Carnegie made for
library building on the condition
that the University would raise a like
amount of fifty thousand dollars.
President Venable was directed to
write to Mr.. Carnegie and accept the
gift with the condition and to thank
him on behalf of the Board of
Trustees and the people of the State.
Immediate steps will be taken by the
Board to raise the money necessary
to comply with the terms of Mr.. Car
negies offer. The opportunity is
one of which the State should eager-
ly avail itself. The University
library is far and away the best in the
State and in many respects one of the
best in the country. 1t is the store
house of the best traditions of the
State. Its fifty thousand volumes,
comprising many rare and invaluable
editions, constitute collection of his

serves the protection of fireproof con-
struction and adequate room for dis
play. The library is or should be a
matter of State pride, and it should be
rendered in every way possible more
safe and more attractive.
The fact that the proposed gift is a
conditional one. possesses the advan-
tage that it will serve to call the at

NO UNLAWFUL DISCRIMINATION

The North Carolina Law Journal,
edited by Hon. James c. MacRae,
formerly Justice of the Supreme Court
of North Carolina and now Dean of
the University Law School gives the
weight of that high authority to the
legality of the Woodland act. In a
review of the legislative acts, the Law
Journal says:
"a deadly assault has been made
upon the bucket shops" a real nuis-
ance. They are forbidden under the
act known generally as the Woodland
act. This saves the rights of legiti-
mate dealers as manufacturers and
wholesale dealers. and we think there
is no unlawful discrimination in their
favor
Exactly. Those who have been con-
tending that the Eller amendment
makes an unlawful discrimination
and therefore virtually annuls the law,
will sec that their view is not shared

PART OF THE GAME.

Senator Elkins, who has been pos
ing all along as favoring some legis-
lation to regulate railroad rates. is
now talking through the Washington
Star about getting the opinion of emf
nent lawyers before enacting any law
He is represented as being extremely
anxious lest some legislation be en-
acted that the Supreme Court will
nullify. A bill that would please Elk
ms and the great transportation trust
would give no relief to shippers, bust
ness men or consumers. 1t is part
of the game for Ell1ins e Co. to seem
to be in favoreo some sort of a bill
but to try to kill it by dilatory tao
tics. and when such tactics will avail
that will cut the CUTS out of the law.
They are pursuing the same plan that
was followed with reference to the
isthmian canal. They kept off any
canal for a quarter of a century by
maintaining the most influential lob
flush days following the war. When
it was not possible longer to prevent
action, they suddenly. sprung Panama
as the best route. thinking they could
hold the matter off another decade
i'm a wrangle over the proper route.
When Senator Morgan. seeing their
scheme was to defeat canal construc-
ton. suddenly voted for the Panama
route. it almost paralyZed them.
There will be no railroad rate law
at all passed through the Senate if the
leaders of thatsbody can get the, Sena-
tors to resist public pressure. If they
see that something must be done in
response to the ponular demand. they
will try to delay by something like the
Ellkins tactics. If that fails. then
there will be a smooth and nice sound
ing little amendment that will cut the
heart out of the bill.
Mr.. Roosevelt can win if he is ready
to do the necessary Rough. Rider act
with the Senators. They will vote for
a good bill if he denies them patronage
until a good bill is passed. but nothing
else viii secure the passage of an
effective law through the present
United States Senate.
