MERELY A STALK OF CELERY

A bunch of sunbeams, riding on
sole breeze, drops to earth, mingles
with the dewdrops and comes up
stalk of celery, the most spiritual OF
all the herbs that grow. No wonder
people find contentment in its crisp
any crystalline texture. 1t is a diet
for serene souls; for those who look
far out into the horizons and con-
template and build fancies out OF
fond desires. Whoever munches Gel
ery must do it with a mild mind. Ii
one eats the delicious herb when his
heart is full of hate, and he is fret
full and mad at the world, he misses
that immaculate twang that is
pressed out of the sunlit dewdrop.
This is why celery is such fine herb
for company, when glints of happy
humor and tender friendship play
about. A man doesn't go off by him
self and eat celery, as he would
sandwich or a piece of bologna.
Celery used to grow out in the
swamps among the lizards and the
bullfrogs, but even then its lovely
mission in the world was recognized,
for the canvasback duck got all its
delicacy and JUNCTION from the juicy
fiber of it's green stalks. Since then
it has been civilized; and the gentle
mixture of sunbeams, zephyrs and
CLINT of dewdrop has been preserved
and kept inviolate by a process of
blanching. Can't you taste it when
you take up a white, crisp, crystal
line stalk and bite it in way that
lit rings out like a cheer and hur-
rah?
A lady said one time she liked to
eat celery. for it seemed that every
thing gross had been extracted from
it in some way. and she was actually
eating purity itself. Well, it does
seem that way--its whiteness; its
.snowfiaky innocence; its sparkling
'translucence, its twang and SAVIOR that
bespeak the sweetness of earth and
sky Really, it seems like purity,
whose other side is gentility, which
the noble herb inspires in him who
loves it truly.-Columbu (Ohio)

GOLD WATCH IN HENS NEST.
Found There After Old Speckle
Came OFF Cackling.

A. w. Laing of Waycross is the
possessor of a gold watch that he
would like some one to explain to
him so that it could be understood.
The watch was found in hens nest
at Mr.. Laing's boarding house after
a hen had come off the nest cackling.
Mr.. Laing states that he heard the
cackling, and went in to see if there
was an egg. He found only plain
case gold watch. No one claims the
watch, and there are no initials on it..
Mr.. LANG thinks some one stole
the watch and hid it. The hen, feel
ing the watch in her nest, let out her
cackle with the result that the watch
was discovered.

CHURCH WITHOUT a PREACHER.
strangest House of Worship in the
World Erected in London.

The strangest house of worship
ever erected stands in the heart of
London. 1t is called the Chapel of
he Ascension, and it contains no
pulpit, no altar, no band of choris-
tiers. No services are held in it, and
no priest or minister crosses its
threshold except as a visitor. The
chapel is a place not of christian
routine and service, but simply
where a man or woman may rest
awhile and commune with his own
soul amid pictured walls" as the
notice which hangs over the door
says. The chapel is the idea of Mrs.
Russell Guerney, who during her
lifetime was a member of one of the
best known families in London. She
received her inspiration from a small
chapel in Florence, and conceived
the idea of building a place of COM
munion in the heart of London, set
apart for rest and filled with conse-
Grated art.
But while the purposes of the
chapel itself are unique more re-
markable still are the religious paint
ings that cover it's walls from floor
to ceiling. For fourteen years
Frederick Shields, the famous Eng
lish painter and friend and contem-
porary of Ruskin, Dante Rosetti and
Ford MADDOX Brown, has devoted his
whole time and thought to their exc
cution. Although the task is not yet
complete there are but few vacant
spaces on the walls of the little
building. Very nearly 200 paintings,
illustrating the scriptures, have
emanated from the fertile brain and
gifted brush of this artist.
