The habitual daily use of this ^etable- is much more beneficial to man than most people are aware of. A writer who is faniiliar iwith its virtues, says : " I have known many men and -women, who, from various causes, had become so ir.nch affected by] nervousneea that wheu they Btrotched out thoif hands they shook like uspon leaves on a w[udy day,i and |by u moderate daily use of the blanched footstalks of celery us a: salad tLey become a* strong and steady in limb as other people. I have known others so nervous that the least annoyance put them iu a 6tate of -agitation aad they, .Were in constant perplexity and fear, who were also effestuully cur ed by a moderate daily use of blanched celery aa salad at meal time, I have known others to be cured of palpitation of the heart. Everybody-engaged in labor weak ening to the nerves should use celery daily in: the season, and onions in its stead when not in season." To this we may add that a prominent Now; York druggist' draws in win-- Xer from his soda fountain a hot ex tract of celery, mixed with Liebig's meat extract, tinder: the name of ox-celery. It is a nourishing drink at lunch; timo, far better than tea or coffee, and is doing a great deal in ^he rieijhborhood to promote teinpe'-ance. We give celery al most daily "to our canary birds and it cures them of fits ; |they are lit tle janimuls, with very delicate nerves, easily frightened, and there fore they need such ii remedy very much, and the' relish '.with which they! take itiis a proof that their in stintjt guides them to eat what is good for them. .; -------------* . ^ '------------ Remarkable Property of Tomato Leaves. A fruit grower ip ; Valparaiso, South America, claims to' have dis covered a singular property, in tomato leaves. Having had occas ion to cut down some tomato vines, he chanced to use them as a mulch arotind his peach trees. To his astonishment, he found tEat the purculio which had. been destroying his fruit abandoned the trees en circled by the tomato mulch. Pursuing some investigations natur ally suggested by the unexpected circumstance, he found that the. free use of tomato vines formed a perfect protection, not only against the curculio, but. against other noxious insects. He also found that a tea or decoction of. tomato leaves, when sprinkled on other plants, freed them of insects. If these are facts, they are of the ut most importance to horticulturists, A Slack HuHbarid Punished. ' Miv Monctop,' sajd. my grand mother, 'ii have no Wood -to burn today..
