Martin, aged 10, was brought before

punishment would be a fine of 500 and
was surprised when the MAYOR said
to the clerk: Have we a Bible

When one was produced the mayor
turned to Martin and said:

An old soldier, released from cof-

CELERY GAINING IN FAVOR.
Grows Best in the Rocky Mountains.
Where 1t Is Neglected by
Farmers.

Celery is a native of Europe.
Where 1T has always been much more
used than here, not only in salads
and as a relish, for which it is still
principally demanded in this country,
but as a seasoning for soups and other
dishes and cooked by itself like any
other vegetable. It's traditional place
on the American table has heretofore
peen with the turkey and cranberry
sauce at Thanksgiving and Christmas
and other special feasts, but OF recent
years 1t has come into more general
use at all times of the year, while as
OF the ingredients of salad II is
more than holding it's place. despite
the coming Of SO many new dishes of
the salad family.
Inc old discussion as to whether
celery is properly a winter or a SIM
mel food is rapidly giving way before
the generally accepted idea that it is
a good thing to eat it whenever if
can be had, and in PHILADELPHIA This
means all the year. 1t is definitely
established, too, as a nerve tonic harm
less In large or small quantities.
While it is extremely nerishab1o

loses rapidly the crispness which

acterlstlcs, it can now be had after
being only a little while out of the
ground; also from many climates in
rotation. Besides, there are WAYS of
storing 1t and keeping it in good con-
dition before it is picked-or. rather
pulled up by the roots-until the mar
ket calls for it. The a~ll-season SUNNY
comes from as far south as Florida

Curlously enough, the Rocky noun
tain celery, which is declared bv CON
nolsseurs to be superior to all other
varieties, does not reach this market
or any other. This appears to he q
case OF a neglected industry amonp

Lesson in Disaster.

We seize this opportunity to poin'
out, chiefly as a warning for the benefir
OF the general public, since most en-
gineers know it full well, the utter
helplessness and hopelessness of the
modern city when its public water
supply is cut off. If a fire breaks out
the city is at the mercy of the winds.
and If 1t once gains Roadway the fire
may be said to spread on the wings Of
its own wind. Dreadful as the fire risk
is when the water supply fails, that
calamity scarcely compares with the
other attendant dangers, the greatest
OF all of which may be brain-crazing
thirst. The conditions are rare, how
ever, at least in nearly all American
cities, where enough water cannot
soon be secured to quench thirst; but
1t should be remembered, urges En-
cheering News, that dangerous thirst
is a matter of scarcely more than
hours, and that under the heat and
tense excitement of fire natural thirst
Is speedily aggravated. In the long
run water enough to quench thirst is
bound to be secured, or else the place
abandoned or depopulated by death.
This, however, will not avert a whole
series of calamities; first, the certainty
that where drinking water is scarce
and disorder prevalent many people
Will drink polluted water; md, second.
tnat lack OF water for household pur-
poses, including use in water closets.
Will give rise to the accumulations of
both ordinary filth and decomposing
recall matter. Under such conditions.
obviously, water closets should not be
used, but it is not easy to prevent this.
n even with extraordinary public
control it would be difficult to
prevent other and almost as dangerous
.nuisances; namely, accumulations of
fecal matter out of doors. which. in
the summer time, or during the whole
year in warm climates, will afford an
opportunity for the spread of typhoid
fever by means of flies, exactly as
happened, though quite needlessly. at
our military camps during the Span
war.

ings banks to-day hold deposits aggre
eating nearly 81, 900, 000, 900.
The banks were established in 1855
after the disastrous failure of many
private banks. Three hundred sta
lions were opened at the beginning
and on the first day 435 working men
deposited in all $4,000.
Penny banks followed, and school
banks came as a matter of course, find
ing the children eager to start an &C.
count in their own names.
To-day there are 1882 post office
savings banks in the United Kingdom,
with 9,403,852 depositors. Taking the
population of Great Britain and Ire
land at 10000, 900, 1t proves hat one
person in every four and a half has de-
posits, and that the average amount
per person is $77.70.
Every class is represented among
the depositors, and the fishermen often
elbows the clerk at the post Olive.
The advantages to the public are:
First, the absolute security from loss;
second, the convenience of making de-
posits; third, the ease of repayment,
which Is not affected by change of res
idence; fourth, safety against personal
tion and fraud; fifth, the prevention
OF poverty by the development of
thrift; sixth, the ready means where
no other banks exist, of a safe deposit;
seventh, the education of the young
and unframed to the knowledge of the
use and management of money; eighth,
the tendency to discourage reckless
and speculative expenditures.
The advantages to the country itself
group themselves under seven head

mates of an untried country, said that
while it would produce grass for the
range cattle, it would never produce
the cereals.
Gradually few more daring than
their fellows settled in the county, and
when nature repaid their labors with
lavish harvests, the masses began to
take notice, and soon the tide of home
seekers were converting the almost
untraveled trails into well broken
roads by the constant traversing.
Houses soon dotted the prairie and
the graneries began to be important
concerns.
The gathering at Minot has demon
strated that the western part of the
state is as much IL grain producing
section as any other. 1t is safe to say
that there are as few unproductive
farms in that part of the state in pro-
portion to it's area us in any other.
These farms are we'll up on the average
They produce as large varieties OF
grain and as much per acre as the
older settled parts of the state.
The people there are giving serious
consideration to the preservation of
the soil elements early in the history
of the country, and consequently will
not have to consider plans for restor-
ing the soil vitality later.
The farmers are enthusiastic and
progressive and are farming instead
of land butchering. They are there
fore able to get the greatest amount
of good out of the soil with the least
amount of expense
The western part of the state, much
as the other parts may dislike to adj
nit it, will soon be the heaviest pro-
Queer of farm products. and it's riches
will be increased in corresponding
ratio.
