Keeping Vegetables in Winter.

Celery keeps best stored out of doors.
In celler it often dries and gets
stringy and tough Dig a pit about
three feet deep, lift the celery into il
W tn the roots on and store the plants
closely together. Cover with earth up
TO the top of the celery, and put leaves
on about foot deep to keep out the
moisture Place boards in conical
mound over the trench and cover with
leaves and earth. Leave the ends Of
the boards so that the pit can be open
ed to admit air on mild days, rs the
danger lies in heating.
Useful directions for storing other
vegetables are given by p S, Murdoch
in Farm and Home Cabbage and
brussels sprouts can also be stored in
the celery trench Set the cabbage
heads upside down on some leaves.
laeks can be lifted and stored like
root crops or simply covered with hay
on leaves.
The entire French artichoke plant
must be protected from freezing but
the common tuberous artichoke should
be dug and stored ike potatoes. Place
boards conically over the plants and
cover with leaves or straw. Keer
water out at all times
The ccller is the best place for stor-
ing pumpkins, squashes and also pota-
toes, if you have a cool, dry compart,
ment not exposed to furnace heat
Pumpkins and squashes quickly decay
in damp place. On this account
many people store them over the kit
chen where there is ENOUGH heat to
keep them from freezing.

One Of the wealthy members OF a
fashionable church IN Boston APP

plant that she was greatly disturbed
by one of her neighbors.
IT'S positively unbearable," said

to sing. Couldn't you ask him to

DRUGS HAVE AN ATTRACTION
Remarkable How Many People Will
Take Alnoat Any Remedy That
10 Offered TO Them.

A very interesting phase of human
psychology 10 its relation to the taking
of drugs is Illustrated by series of
poisoning cases in the middle West. A
number OF persons received free sam
pies of remedy through the mails
and quite a few of the recipients pro-
ceeded to take doses of it, some of
them with fatal results.
There are a great many persons who
will take any remedy that is offered
or recommended to them. Free sam
piles OF drugs OF which the recipients
know next to nothing are swallowed
In large quantities every day in this
country. II seems impossible, but it
Is true.
When a colored maid of all work
presents herself to a doctor with a
large bottle of medicine to ask him
whether he thinks there is anything
the matter with her for which that
medicine might be good it seems
joke. Such things have been known
to happen more than once, and there
are large number of persons sup
posed to be far above the colored
maid In mentality, and still more in
common sense who present the same
attitude of mind toward free samples
of medicine that may come into their
hands. Could anything be more fool
ish?

BEAUTIFUL IN ALL SEASONS
Marvellous This Land Of Ours, to
Those Endowed With the Proper
Sense Of Appreciation.

A marvellous sweet thing, when all
was sald-this land! Changing its
sheen and texture. the feel Of its air,
It's very scent, from day to day. This
land with its billion offspring OF flow
ers and flying folk its majestic and
untiring march OF seasons.
Spring and its wistful ecstasy OF
saplings. and It's yearning, wild, wind
loosened heart; CLEAN and song, bios
som and cloud. and the swift white
rain, each upturned leaf so little and
80 glad to futter; each wood and field
80 full OF peeping things. Summer!
All. summer, when on the solemn old
trees the long days shone and lin
gered and the glory Of the meadows
and the murmur Of life and the scent
OF flowers bewildered tranquility, till
surcharge Of warmth and beauty
brooded into dark passion, and broke.
And autumn, In mellow haze down on
the fields and woods; smears of gold
already on the beeches, smears Of
crimson on the rowans, the apple trees
still burdened, and faxblue sky
wellnigh emerging with the misty air;
the cattle browsing in the lingering
golden Stiffness not breath to fan
the blue smoke OF the weed-fires-
and in the fields no one moying-who
would disturb ouch mellow peace?
And winter! The long spaces, the
long dark; and yet-and yet, what
delicate loneliness OF twig tracery.
what blur Of rose and brown and pur-
pie caught in the bare boughs and in
the early sunset sky! What sharp
dark flights Of birds in the gray-white

Employees at Asylum Go on Strike

A number of the employees at the
Iowa county asylum appeared before
the trustees while they were holding
their regular monthly meeting last
week and demanded that certain rules
should be established in that institution
governing their work. The trustees
informed the help that that part of
the Institution was governed by Super
intendent Parkinson and the matter
was turned over to him. Supt Park
inson is man who does things in the
way he thinks best and does not think
that help should lay down rules to suit
their convenience. Therefore he in
formed the strikers that their help was
not needed from that time on. For a
few days Superintendent and Matron
Parkinson were kept busy doing the
work of the five dissatisfied employees
and attending to their own duties, but
soon new help was secured and the in
stitution is now running as quietly and
peaceably as ever. Chronicle.
