The Brainstorm Of o6.

tlt speeches OF Willlhm ~. bryan,
As an academic fad, a prolonged
study Of the address Of Mr..
Bryan eleven years ago might
not unhinge the mind, but when
an effort is made to connect them
with leadership in the present
political era, or with any subse-
quent results except those Of an
antithetical kind, the process
known as reasoning must be.
painfully if not dangerously dis
turbed. Party policies were
drawn with remarkable distinct
ness in 1896. Mr.. Bryan insist
ed, with the greatest ardor and
marvellous physical endurance,
that certain direful things would
inevitably happen to the Ameri-
can people unless they inflated
their currency by one half.
After one of the most exciting
campaigns on record the voters
decided that a 100-cent dollar,
one recognized as such through
out the world, would be the right
thing, and the proofs of the
soundness of their verdict are so
clear and so numerous that no
summary need be given here.
lone Of the proofs is that Mr..
Bryan himself has laid aside the
issue, though it is believed by
those most familiar with his en-.
tire career that he is fundamen-
tally a greenbacker,
The Indiana teacher whose
mind tottered must have begun
with Bryan's two presidential
campaigns, in which he met with
defeat as the special champion of
silver imitation, with an appendix
of paper imitation put in by the
Populist contingent. The Indi-
ana student doubtless reviewed
the existing national situation in
the light Of the speeches in Mr..
organs earliest book, The First
Battle, which an English re-
viewer pronounced pathetically
bald, and which time has prov
ed to be even balder than that.

CELERY GROWING.
Some Suggestions for the Raising Of
This Popular Vegetable.

This profitable branch of truck
farming ought to be better under
stood. There are two crops possible
in this climate, but the first, which is
started In February or March, must
have a greenhouse for successful re-
suits, and is not often practiced by
the common growers, says Indiana
Farmer. The fall or winter crop is
the one of which we will speak. 1t is
started in a bed in the open garden
In May, after the ground is thoroughly
warm. Make the bed in rich, damp,
but not wet, soil; pulverize as finely
as possible; drill the seed scantily in
shallow row eight inches apart. One
n of seed will make from 5000 to
5000 plants. They terminate slowly,
often taking two weeks or more to
appear above ground. If the weather
becomes dry the young plants should
be shaded partially at least, with old
muslin, or strips of thin boards.
When two or three inches high clip
off the top of the leaves, to make the
plants stocky. Transplant in five or
six weeks into larger beds, clipping
on the top root as well as leaves; set
them two inches apart. In July set
the plants in rows five feet apart, and
eight inches apart in the row. When
about a foot high begintt to draw earth
against the rows, and between the
plants. Later repeat the process un-
til all the stalks and part of the leaves
are covered. This keeps the stalks
white and tender. When the growing
season is over it is the custom to
place wide boards along the sides of
the rows, to blanch the stalks still
more. But a more modern custom.
called the New Celery Culture, con
sists In setting the plants close to-
gether In rows not over IL inches
inches apart, and making the
plants blanch themselves. In this
plan you bank up or plank
only the outside rows. This is
the easy way, and some think just
as good as the other, but it requires
richer ground and more water. I'm
less the ground is richer than is nee
essary for most other vegetables, and
is very moist, celery will not give
satisfaction. Well rotted manure and
unleached ashes are the best f%ertiliz-
ers, and they must be applied liber-
ally.

Hi9 For Making a rhinestone Irues
pick or even a good cold-chisel will
do. 1t is very difficult to do by hand,
but a device, such as is shown in the
accompanying illustration, will be
found very convenient for this use.
A little post can be fixed to the end
of the grindstone with a slit in the
upper part, into which a piece of hard
wood is fastened, long enough to reach
to the other end of the frame. This
should be made of two-inch stuff, a
little wider than the stone, An open
ing is made in this piece, the width of
the stone, to insert the cold chisel or
mill pick which is wedged in the same
way that a plane chisel is set. At the
opposite end of the frame, explains
The Farmer, another post is bolted
on that has a series of holes SO
that it can be raised or lowered &C,
cording to the ~unevenness of the
stone. 1t would be well to put a rivet
at each side of the chisel to prevent
it from splitting out. A weight of
some kind, fastened to the piece back
Of the chisel SO as to make it bear on
the stone, will be all that is needed.
The stone can then be turned slowly
until the uneven parts are cut away.
Water should be used on the stone
while it is being turned.

POINTS FOR THE FARMER.

Turn a few shotes into that old
orchard and let them cultivate it.
Dat hay cannot be made hap
hazard. There is a time when oats
may be cut SO that the straw and
grain together make a valuable feed.
In fertilizing the orchard aim to
use a manure not too rich in nitrogen.
When an xce of nitrogen il used
you obtain a vigorous succculent
growth that is easily injured.
If your barn cellar has been smell
ing bad this winter. now is the time
to clean It. Let It dry out thoroughly
this summer and provide drains 50
that It will be kept from becoming
wet again.
When meadows yield only a small
amount Of hay IL frequently pays to
turn them up and cultivate them for
two or three years. Manuring some
times does not help matters. The soil
needs turning up, so that the sunlight
can swseten it.

Neither the Naples Camorra, the

America is the most powerful and ter
rible secret society in the whole
world, in spite of the narrowing de-
tails of their CHASTITY work. The palm

in Italy, and has done so for more
than 800 years. This society, which
works so swiftly and silently, yet so
surely, was founded in Sicily for pro-
lection against the Injustice of foreign
rulers.-London "P. T. o."

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance. but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.

@soap Bubble HANGING from a Reed.

"soap Bubble Hanging from q Reed
Our life is but a soap bubble hang
ing from a reed; it is formed, expands
to fits full size, clothes itself with the
loveliest colors Of the prism, and even
escapes at moments from the law Of
gravitation; but soon the black speck
appears in it and the globe of emerald
and gold vanishes into space, leaving
behind it nothing but a simple drop
of turbid water. All the poets have
made this comparison, it is SO strik-
ing and so true. To appear, to shine,
to disappear; to be born, to suffer and
to die; is it not the whole sum of
life, for a butterfly, for a nation, for a
star?-Henry Frederic Amiel.

How Of ArtesIan wen.

To calculate the rate of flow OF an
artesian well a simple plan is to lower
a bottle of aniline fluid to a depth Of
say 500 feet and then electrically ex-
plode a cap to burst the bottle. The
time required for the fluid to appear
'at the surface gives an accurate gauge
as to the velocity Of flow. 1t is claimed
that this method gives results as ac-
curate as a weir. The diameter of
the pipe being known, the rate of flow
readily follows.

choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
