have on our dinner table is used in a different way where we enjoy eating it the egyptians used it in their funeral rites according to information from a breeding in stitute egyptologists found j

celery which thrives all over europe and asia however wild celery is slightly acrid in taste ancient records of this vegetable are rather indefinite so it i doubt ful if celery was cultivated for eat ing purposes until the middle ages it is supposed that the selinon men tioned by homer in the odyssey was wild celery dioscorides distin guished forms of the plant much later in 1629 parkinson wrote that seuery was rare in england apparently the garden vegetable was introduced into great britain f italy italy probably began the actual cultivation of garden celery or eating celery during the seventeenth and eighteenth cen turies the english referred to it as smallage and the french called it ache however these terms have become obsolete porto rico gets legend f mis 3 when pirates roved

der of masonry was too small to permit the sentry to sit dowm the slits on four sides through which he watched for approaching vessels were too small to let him get out side to stretch his legs he was deafened by the booming surf echo ing in his perpendicular vault a sentinel disappeared from this lonely outpost one dark night leav ing his uniform behind the gar rison decided that it must have been the devil after a daylight examina tion of the ocean bottom below the sentry box failed to reveal the body of the missing soldier no one else ever went on duty in the haunted sentry box it must have given the devil- claimed sentry a good laugh when he heard the story he left his uniform behind be cause he had planned desertion and he escaped from the escapeproof sentry box by walking through the tunnel and out the main entrance to the fort he left san juan end went back into the hills where he settled down on a small plantation and lived in complete security years later when the americans
