"It is certainly very wonderful that t}ve, who aro utter strangers; should look so much alike," replied 14lbnioa, while she studied the coun- tenance of her double with earnest scrutiny': "And I am sure 'you must be an American, like myself ?" said Flor- ence, inquiringly.

"Miall ytou go to Paris ?" «; "Wo .sha,I1 pass through Paris." • "Oh, 'then we •shall perhaps be companions for some time yet," said Florence, brightly, and wondering who else comprised the "we"; 'and If you 'sire agreeable, we will by and by talk more about our singu- lar resemblance to each other." 'Yes, certainly—I shall be glad to do iso. It seems as if there ;rust be enema reason for it—some tie or blood that oats account for it," Mon- ica thoughtfully observed, as ahs searched the sweet blue eyes look- ing so earnestly alto hors, and thinking that it would be lovely to discover a relative, however distant, in title bright, genial girl. "Then: I wi1l ,see you, later," Flor- ence responded.

In the course of a few days the roots will thaw out, and usual.« ly enough moisture is thus accumulated to keep them fresh for some time. They should be watched, however, as they may need watering once or twice during the winter to keep the soil moist. The warmer the cellar, the more quickly growth will start, but for the best re- sults a rather low temperature, about the same as that in which potatoes are kept, is best. In a partially lighted cellar the leaf blades will expand very little, and all the strength of the roots will go to the development of the stalks. If the cellar is light, it is well to darken the part where the plants are kept. If the roots are strong and vigorous, stalks one and a half to two feet in length and two inches in diameter will be produced with little or no expansion of the leaf blade at the top. When grown thus in the dark, none of the chlorophyl or green coloring matter of the leaf devel- ops, and the stalks are bleached to a pinky white. When cooked and made into sauce or pies, they turn a beauti- ful pink color and are much finer in ap- pearance and flavor than stalks which are grown in the ordinary way in the garden. Cropping may begin as soon as the stalks are well developed, and may be continued for several weeks, until the roots have exhausted themselves, after which they should be thrown out, as they are of little use for growing again. Wi e would suggest that our readers try growing two or three roots this win- ter, and let us know the results next spring.

Anaemic people—people with watery blood—are without defense when dis- ease threatens. The strongest weapon against disease is a plentiful supply, of rich, red blood. A robust person may catch cold, but quickly throws it off. But a cold lingers with the anaemic one, goes to the chest and the first signs of consumption appear. It is the anaemia one who suffers from headaches and dizziness, who cannot climb a stair with- out resting, whose heart flutters and palpitates wildly at the least exertion. Such people can only be saved by a new' supply of rich, red blood, and Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills is the only medicine that actually makes rich, reel blood with every dose. Ordinary medicines only touch the symptoms of disease—Dr. Wil- liams Pink Pills go right straight to the root of the trouble and drive it out. That is why these pills have a larger sale than any other medicine in the world, and that is why thousands and thousands of people praise them so high- ly. Miss Florence G.
