The improvements that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have had under way at Pittsburg for the past 15 months have been completed with the excep tion of a small amount of paving be tween the tracks which will be done in the Spring. The line now has splendid terminals at that point and sufficient trackage to handle the vast amount of business with not only economy but with celerity. The changes cost in the neighborhood of $150,000 and consist of a new yard at Glenwood (one of Pitts burg's suburbs), a double track trestle nearly two miles in length, the chang ing of the line of road leading into the passenger station and the building of new freight yards near that point. More Weddings In the Country. "It Is a very noticeable fact," said MaJ. Lusk, who is authority on the question with reference to Hymen, "that there are not as many city chaps getting married nowadays as there are country boys. In some Instances the country boy marries a city girl, but not very often. The city boy seldom, If ever, marries a country girl. Of course, the city boy does not like to marry where there is a disparity of minds, for, as Dickens says, 'those people can never live happy.' What do I thiuk la the cause of It? Why, I think the coun try boy Is more economical with the money he earns than the boy of the city. lie can do better on $25 a month than a boy reared in the city can with SSO. Then again, when the country boy marries he goes on a tract of land given him by his father or bought with hard earned money."—Jefferson City Cou rier- Dotfcatc Hint.

THE CITY OF KALAMAZOO ENJOYS A UNIQUE DISTINCTION. fiai*tng niicl Selling Celery Has Heroine It* Leading Industry— How Dutch Emigrants Made Fortunes Out of Lands That "Were Considered Worthless. To the handsome city of Kalamazoo, Mich., writes a correspondent of the Buffalo (N. Y.) Express, belongs the honor of making smellage, a popular table relish under the name of celery. Celery, in turn, has made that city famous us the celery gardens of the world; in fact, Kalamazoo is now called the Celery City. This city, with its queer Indian name, was for years made the target of funny stories and minstrel songs. Situated on the banks of the river of tho same namo, the city extends back on the hills, and is acknowledged to be one of the hand somest cities of its size in the United States. The railroads enter Kala mazoo along the river bottoms, which extend for miles, and are the most fertile lands north of the Ohio River. The soil is rich muck, and is from two to eight feet deep. A stranger entering the city by rail cau distinguish the peculiar odor of celery gardens long beforo reaching the town. During the growing season it is a pretty scene, long rows of bright green ugainst a black background. Not a weed or brush is to be seen. Bill Nye said it reminded him of an Irish woman's black dress trimmed with green braid. Celery, as a table delicacy, came in to existence in this way: Among the early settlers locating in Ivalamnzoo, was a family direct from Holland, named Blyker. Dem Blyker was its head, and his father had accumulated a fortune in the East India Company. Other families followed and prospered, and iinally quite a colony came over of the poorer class. At this time the flats or river bottoms were considered almost worthless lands, but were pre ferred by the Holland emigrants. Many little streams flow down the hillside, and soon the lane near tho city was parceled and divided iuto small pints, like the lowlands of the Netherlands. It was just like homo for them, except that here they soon could own their own farm. At first onions and cabbage were raised and shipped out to other cities. In 1878 a gardener named Van Haaften, raised some smellage, which grew so rapidly on tho rich mnck bottoms that he had to draw the dirt up against it to keep it standing. In the fall, when taken out, it was found to bo blenched white and very brittle and palatable. A sam ple box was sent to a Louisville hotel, which bought his onions, for trial as a table relish. The instructions wore to eat it as you would radishes, with salt, and it was called Kalamazoo cel ery, instead of smellage. The now relish met with favor at once, and Van Haaften received orders for the rost of his crop and orders for tho next year. Onions were that year an over-pro duction, while the Kalamazoo celery sold for seventy-fivo cents a dozen stalks. The next year the Van Haaften fam ily planted their.ground to celery and made a great deal of money. In fact, they paid for the land and bought more from their first year's sales. The year following the whole Holland pop ulation on tho flats began to plant cel ery. Every leading hotel in the United States was ordering celery,and land that had sold fur gilO to an acre increased tenfold. Glen D. Stuart, a young business man, formerly from Now York, saw tho possibilities in celery and began busi ness as a celery shipper and soon had an immense trade. Ho was a clever man, and bought whole gardens and advnnced money to new gardeners. In less than five years ho was known as the Celery King, and did a quarter of a million dollars' worth of business shipping celery during the year. In those days celery brought a good price, and every available foot of low laud was utilized. To-day it is esti mated that over 4000 Hollanders are actively engaged in celery culture, and about 8000 acres of the river bottoms are devoted to celery gardens. A million and a half of money is paid to the growers of Kalamazoo Valley each year for their celery crop. This celery industry has developed others, such as box factories, printing offices, celery medicine companies and numerous concerns making celery tea, celery gum, celery cough drops, celery bitters, celery pickles and chow-chow, nerve tonic, celery salt, celery soups and a score of other preparations. All the trunk lines of railroads cater to the celery trade and run special re frigerator cars to all the distant cities. From tho middle of July until after Christmas the atmosphere of Kalama zoo has a decided celery flavor. There is a continual stream of wagons deliv ering their product to the express com panies from 8 a. m. until about 4 p. ni. The crop of 1897 is estimated at 18,000,000 dozen bunches, and will bring the growers about nine cents per dozen. A Pioneer Postofflre. William Beatty, a farmer near Scio toville, Ohio, while splitting up a tree which he had felled on his farm, found in the heart of tho trunk a buckskin bag containing a letter, dis colored by age. The writing had practically faded away, only a word here and there being intelligible. Tho tree was evidently 150 years old, and it is thought that the letter had been placed there a hundred years ago, when the "Little Scioto" trail from the Ohio River to Chillicothe was used by the traders, and passed close to where the old tree stood. The hole in which tho letter had boon hidden had been completely covered by the new growth of the tree. It was un doubtedly one of tho "postofflces" of the pioneers. THE ERIE CANAL. Thfl Part It Played in New York's Ad* ▼ancement in Wealth and Population. Mr. Ernest Tngersoll writes an arti cle for St. Nicholas on the Greatei New York, his paper being entitled * 'Reasoning Out a Metropolis." Mr. Ingersoll says: The greatest of all the influences that assisted Now York to reach first place was tile Erie Canal. The first quarter of this century was the era of canal building. No matter how fint the turnpike may be, horses can haul in wagons only high-priced merchan dise, in comparatively small quantities and fdr short distances, unless the cargo is to cost for transportation more than it is worth. Men found oul in Europe and Asia long ago that foi moving grain, coal, timber, ore, and similar bulky or heavy goods, where speed was not especially important, a ship or boat was the only practical method. If a river were not conveni ent, then an artificial waterway, called a canal—that is, channel—must be made. When in any country some thing of this kind cannot be done, that country must remain undeveloped and thinly populated, like the Sahara. Why is a canal so much better than a good road for commercial purposes? Because, while two horses and one man can haul on a hard, level road perhaps two tons, the same driver with two horses harnessed to a canal boat can move twenty tons nearly as quick ly; that is, the same force and expense for pay and food of men and horses accomplish ten times as much in re sult, which really makes the goods teu times cheaper at the end of the route. Heuce, before the invention of rail roads, it was necessary for any grow ing country to dig canals to servo as the highways of commerce; and this the young United States hastened to do. New York, as usual, moved among the foremost. She planned and constructed, besides some lesser ones, that great waterway, four hun dred miles long, from Albany to Buf falo, which was called the Erie Canal, and connected the Hudson with the Great Lakes. This caual was finished in 1825, and immensely stimulated the growth, not only of the western part of New York State, but of the whole region of the Great Lakes; for now farmers in the Northwest could send their grain and fruit and cattle, and the miners their ore, and the lumbermen their ship timber, and boards and staves, to the seaboard at profitable rates; and in return they could obtain the imports, merchandise and manufactures of sea coast cities at fair cost. A fleet of vessels on the lakes came and went, bringing from farm, mine and forest cargoes which were loaded into canal boats and sent east, often to bo trans ferred to vessels for foreign ports without ever touching land at all. And back went supplies for the interior of New York State, and for settlers in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, and beyond, who could never have lived and worked in those distaut parts except for this means of cheap communication. To them, also, every summer, went thousands of new set tlers from New England and Old Eng land and all Europe, who needed no longer to spend weeks and weeks in traveling in wagons before reaching their new homes. Meat Not a Neccwnry Food. Mrs. S. T. Borer writes on "Do We Eat Too Much Meat?" in Ladies' Home Journal, answering her own query affirmatively. "Meat," she as serts, "is not at all necessary to a per fect existence. Most people, however, look upon it as though it formed the only food upon which they could work, aud yet many great athletes have never touched it. Meat, after it en ters the stomach and is digested, may be injurious, but for all this the ordi nary American has made up his mind that lean meat gives him less trouble than any other food, so ho takes it in large quantities, invariably breaking down in middle with just such diseases as cornts from the over-use of concen trated nitrogenous foods. CLlldren fed on beef juice and beef soups, witb white bread, lose the various salts necessary to the building of bones, teeth and muscle and the soda for the blood. The outer part of the wheat, which is so rich in these earthy salts, is cast aside, so that the child in grow ing gets weak bone structure as a frame for its lean flesh. The stalwarf men of Scotland find that porridge and milk contain all the muscle, bone and norve food necessary for an active existence. "An excoss of carbonnaceous food, on the other hand, forms an accumula tion of fat, preventing the complete nourishment of the muscles. The over-fat person has bulk without strength; his vital power always de ficient, while the excess of nitrogen ous food which he consumes increases the tendency to disease of a plethoric character, showing at once that the surplus is burned and stored the same as fuel food." I'uniHliiriff an Interloper. Ono of the residents of Lauesboro, Fenu., recently had an opportunity of witnessing how an interloper is pun ished by the marten species of bird. A pair of martens had taken posses sion of a small box and were building their nest in it. One day, while they were absent, a screech owl took pos session of the box, and when the mar tons came homo he would not allow them to enter. The smaller birds were nonplussed for a while, aild in a moment flew away. In a short time, however, the little ones returned, bringing with them a whole army of companions, who immediately set to work, and, pro outing mud, plastered up the en trance to thebox. Then nil flew away. In a few days the farmer examined the box and the owl was found dead. —New York Press. * Worrying tlio Cow. A rough, quick-tempered man should never bo tolerated around the cow stable. The cow loves quietude. Any disturbance which excites her lessens, if it does not stop, the secre tion and flow of milk. It is very easy for an employe, by kicking and beat ing a cow just before or while he is milking, to lessen her milk flow by one half. This is called "holding up" the milk. It is really a prevention of milk secretion, and the milk thus lost does not come down at any subsequent milking.—American Cultivator, Preservation of The Berliner Marktballenzeitung reports about experiments mado for tlio purpose of securing the most ra tional method of preserving eggs. This being a topic of general interest, I beg to give hereaftsr an extract of the results obtained, as described in tlio said journal: Twenty methods were selected for these experiments. In the first days of July -400 fresh eggs were prepared according to these methods (twenty eggs for each method), to b3 opened for uso at the end of the month of February. Of course, a most essential point for the success of preservation is that only really fresh eggs be employed. As the most infallible means of ascer taining the age of the eggs the experi mentist designated the specific weight of same. With fresli eggs it is from 1.0781 to 1.09-42, If the eggs are put into a solution of 120 grammes (4.23 ounces) of common salt in one litre (1.0567 quarts) of water, the specific weight of which solution is 1.073, all the eggs that swim on this liquid weigh less, and consequently are not fresh. Only those eggs that sink should be used for preservation. When, after eight months of preser vation, the eggs were opened [for use, the twenty different methods em ployed gave the most hetrogeneous results: (1) Egss put for preservation in salt water were all bad (not rotten, but uneatable, the salt having pene trated into the eggs). (2) Eggs wrapped in paper, eighty per cent. bad. (3) Eggs preserved in a solution of salicylic acid and glycerin, eighty per cent. bad. (4) Eggs rubbed witii salt, seventy per cent. bad.—From the United States Consular Beport, A Work Shop on the Farm. A work shop on tlio farm is a grcal convenience; every progressive farmer has one, and those who want to keep mi with the advancement of agricul tural interests will follow suit. To build a work shop is an easy job; it doesn't take long and costs hut little, if constructed as that dear old cabin in which I used to work. My work shop was about eight by ten feet and six feet from the floor to the loft, covered with oak boards and having no floor save the ground. It was sided up with one-inch oak boards, which were sawed from timber cut in the woods, the space between the planks being covered with thin oak strips. The shop was provided with an anvil, two strong hammers, a vise, planes, saws, screw-drivers, chisels, a shaving horse, braco and a set of fif teen bits, ranging from an eighth of an inch to an inch, spoke shaves, a square and rule, etc., all of which may be bought now for about sl2. I also had a harness-maker's outfit ill the shop, so when harness needed re pairing I did not have to go eight or ten miles to have it done. Whenever any of the machinery got out of order it conld generally he repaired at homo, and thus save money and time. For instanoo, when wheat is dead ripe and ought to be cut as soon as possible, the hinder breaks, a rod or some minor part gets out of order; then to the blacksmith shop, unless you are pretty well skilled in the work of re pairing iron and have a shop and tools of your own, in which case much valuable time is saved. A workshop is, in my judgment, as essential to the farm as a spring or cistern, and I am ardently in luvor of tlio latter. When there is work to be done in the shop in the winter, a small stove is easily put up. Thus com fortable quarters are prepared for the workmen. Oftentimes the farm har ness break, sometimes when the farmer is in the midst of a very busy season. Now comes the chance to use the shop; or when there is no particular need for tho broken harness, a rainy day will come about when the farmer may go to the shop and do his work in the dry, having the necessary tools at hand. Farm implements, no difference how strong they may be or how sub stantially they may bo constructed, will frequently get out of order, thus occasioning the use of a blacksmith or wood workman. Now, all such work can bo and ought to be dono by the farmers themselves, aud if they would equip themselves with the tools, etc., which can bo obtained for a small out lay, they could do it. Lot every farmer be his own blacksmith, wood worker, carpenter and saw sharpener, if you please. During rainy days on tho farm there should be work to do, and there is. Tho cross-out saw needs sharpening, the harness require mend ing and the axes ought to ■be ground. and a dozen other things of this j character might be attended to. The farmer needs to become an enthusiast on the subject of agriculture and all the branches connected therewith; he must be dominated by that spirit oi ( onwardness which knows no limit; he ; must keep abreast of the times and take all the near shoots possible to the ; goal of success. Let us be alert and wide awake; farming will surely re* 1 ward all who in fact farm. The voca tion is now regarded as'the most in dependent of any.—Dewitt C. Wing, in Tho Epitomist. Live Stock Notes. A gentleman will have gentle stock. Regularity in feeding, both as tc time and quantity and quality of food, ; is one of the things that pay. As a rule tho first 100 pounds oJ I sheep and tho first 200 of swine cost? j less and sells for more than that added i later. Good feed and plenty of it -urly in the life of tho animal is what secure* the maximum development and lays the foundation for future usefulness. An lowa stockman claims that lumps on the jaws of cattle, particularly those i recently dehorned, aro often caused by vicious jabs given by the sharp- I horned youngsters running with the ' herd. Gcorgo Franklin says the man who I has had c, taste of spring lamb, like the sheep-killing dog, never forgets it, j and ho may as well be fed on a well cooked saddle-flap as to again go back to aged mutton. Lamb-creeps and pig-creeps are good things in giving the young stock a start in life. You will bo surprised to see how young they will begin to j eat and how much they will consume if the right kind of foods is provided. A Michigan dairyman writes that, by judicious breeding and feeding and careful selection by the test, keeping only the best cows and caring for them properly, he has in three years raised tho test of his herd from less than four per cent, to over five pel cent., and reduced tho cost of butter three cents a pound. There is apparently little foundation for the claim made by some feeders i that most of the nutriment has been taken out of the grain which passes tho animal whole; often the loss is sufficient to twice pay for grinding the feed. A good farm mill will often pay | for itself in a single winter's feeding. The hoofs of the horses must be | kept properly trimmed or they will : grow long and ill-shaped, then per- ! haps split; or they will glow long in j front, throwing the foot back upon | the heel, which sometimes sprains ; the largo tendons of tho limbs. Colts should early be taught to have their feet handled. It doesn't pay to let the hogs sleep , around tho straw stack or in tho man ure pile; in fact these aro about the I worst possible places for them, on | account of the dust and dampness aud the foul, heated air out of which they will rush to their feed and stand in a zero temperature till thoroughly chil led, then they begin to die of cholera(?). At an institute in lowa one of tho speakers stated that ensilage and the separator had increased his production of butter to tho extent of sixty-live pounds per cow per year; another said tho separator had increased his product by $12.50 per cow, and that he could raise the best calves from separator milk. There is a difference of opinion regarding the last state ment, however. Th Kthnolofi-y of Kissing. ' The kiss was unknown, I think, ; among the aboriginal tribes of America , and of Central Africa. From the most ■ ancient times, however, it has been familiar to the Asiatic and European ' race. Tho Latins divided it into throe forms—tho osoulum, the basium and j the suavium; the first being the kiss ! of friendship and respect, the second of ceremony and the third of love. Tho ■ Semites always know the kiss, and Job speaks of it as part of the sacred rites, | as it is to-day in tho Roman Church. Tho Mongolian kiss, however, is not ! the same as that which prevails with us. In it tho lips do not touch the | surface Jof person kissed. The 1 nose is brought into light contact with tho cheek, forehead or hand; the breath is drawn slowly through tho nostrils, and the act ends with a slight smack of tho lips. The Chinese con- i sider our mode of kissing full of coarse j suggestiveness, aud our writers re- i gard their method with equal dis dain. Darwin and other naturalists have ' attempted to trace back the kiss to I tho act of the lower animals who seize I their prey with their teeth, etc.—Dr. j Daniel G. Br in ton, in Science. Resolution is Omnipotent. "Resolution," says John Foster, "is omnipotent." He that resolves upon any great, aud at the same time, good end, l>v that very resolution lias sealed the chief harrier to it. He will find it removing difficulties, searching out or making moans, giving courage for despondency, and strength for weakness; and like tho star in the east, to the wise men of old, ever guiding him nearer and nearer to tho sum of ail perfection.—T.
