DELICIOUS ;VEGETABLES FOR HOME ei-ARDENS Celery is a vegetalie which is easily grown, altnougli •most peo- ple have an idea that it requires a great deal of water:a-1g aid -much, especial attention. This is a nets take. If the ground is well fer- tilized ;or heavy rnanurea, very little or no •watering is liecessary. A great deal of celery can 'be, grown in a small space by put - two Ir - es about 8 inches a- pjart, placing the pleats in, the two, rown ;directly oppo ete one anode- cr. In this Kay both space and labor are ;economized, especially when it is' to: bebilled up. By, putting the plats from 6 to 8, inches apart tin the row, and two covogether, 100 heads can be plaezed in about thirty feet.

" t SLOW ACTING NERVES. Earthworms and Clams In No Danger of the Strenuous Life. The common earthworm has two sorts of nerves, Oue of these is a thread running lengthwise of the body between the places where head and tail would be if the creature had either. This nerve has only one use -to carry tbe signal to shorten up. So when the worm, keeping wider - ground by day, comes by night half- way out of its holo and suspects, hough he cannot see, the early bird looking for breakfast, whisk goes the signal along the nerve thread, one end of the body flattens out and locks fast in the burrow, and the rest pulls into safety. This sort of nerve carries a message at the rate of a yard and a half a sec- ond, or about seventy times more slow- ly than our own do. The other sort 0f nerve takes care of the crawling. Signals along these nerves travel only an inch a second. If our inner telegrams were sent as slowly, it would be a whole minute from the time the pitcher threw the ball till the batter started to swing his club at it. Yet, as the simpler creatures go, the earthworm is not especially sluggish. The fresh water .clam, fax instance, gets word from one part of its body to another at only half the earthworm's rate. So it is 2,400 times slower than a man. -Edwin Tenney Brewster in St. Nicholas.

Ask ten persons what is the strong. est animal force in the world and nine will reply that it is the blow of a lion's paw. The tenth man may ex- press the belief, based on experience, that it is the kick if a Missouri mule. As a Matter of fact, the blow of a Whalers- t calls incomparably the strong- est anthill Dame " itTull girolin whale placed at just the right distance would smash in the side of a wobden ship as thougli-it were an eggshell. The second strongest force is the kick of a giraffe, and this terrible kick is adequate protection to these other- wise helpless animals. The stroke of the lion's paw comes third on the list. Cousins and Economy. "Should cousins marry?" was the subject of an animated discussion at a ladies' debating club the other night. - After a great many speakers had vigorously taken the negative side a srepossessing young lady, who was known to have crowds of cousins her - 3e11, spoke up boldly in the affirmative and. threw fresh life into the discussion by declaring that she always did. her best to encourage her own cousins to marry one another, as such unions were very economical. "Economical! How, dear?" her dub - mates cried in chorus. "Well, you see," said the speaker de- murely, "one wedding present does for both then." --Exchange. es le; e ..,..,• '''P. ,„ t,wagwww.re ire • 4.
