Recreation in Theban Literature

''Married people," said Epaminon- das, cannot talk as freely and rapidly as young people,"
 6 hadn't noticed it, said Pelopidas and don t think it is true. "
 ' It is true," replied the illustrous Theban, 't because"
 Because they are paired ?" sageIy asked his friend.
 Epamin nondas shook his head.
 ''Because the two married people are only one, while each of the young peo- pie is one, two?"
 Epaminondas looked sad and sti1ed rising sigh.
 Pelopidas thought a moment and said:
 - Because their two heads have but single thought ?"
 Oh, no, " the statesman said, il isn't necessary to have even one thought to do an infinite amount of talk ing. Look at the Congressional Record. No, he continued, with an air of inter est, but you know the marriage ser vice is conducted orally ? Verbally? By word of mouth, or tongue, as you may say, the knot matrimonial is tied ?"
 "Yes," said Pelopidas, "I see, so far.'
 Well, then, said Epaminondas with a faint gleam of triumph on his face, .' the married folk do the less talking because they are tongue tied

A Boating Trip.

It is doubtful if the ordinary modes of travel educate mans mind to any alarming extent. He treads the path trod by thousands he goes generally because it is the thing to do; he sees the prescribed sights, and rarely has the courage to break away from the leading strings of the guide. If man is young, and has little more energy and vim than the ordinary, beautiful but frail society man, there are few better ways of seeing the country than as Bayard Taylor first saw Europe-on foot. But young men who travel gen orally have more cash than energy, and 1t is hard for a young man blighted by the shadow of a voluminous bank book to take much fun or much education out of travel. Two young Americans who seem to be an exception to the general rule, are now " doiDg' Europe in sail boat, and when the strange fact is taken into consideration that large rivers invariably twist them
 selves round so as to pass the large cities; the young men see a great deal of both town and country life. They bought large boat in London last winter. Crossed in it to Holland, pushed their way up the Rhine to Magenie, and there finding the canal leading to the Danube frozen, put their craft on railway truck and had it car ried to Regessburg. In March they resumed their voyage, descending the Danube to the Black Sea, and sailing from Varna to Constantinople. Their next course will be to Greece and the Archipelago. These young men will no doubt pick up information and ex- perience that cannot be gained by the average tourist with an excursion ticket in his pocket.-DetroH Free Press.

OUR STRAWBERRY YIELD.
The Season Nearly Over in this Vicinity.

A week hence and the strawberry
season in this vicinity will be at an
end. Already the berries offered be-
gin to look small, stunted and less in

week. The entire crop has been in

quantity than the growth Of last year.
The berry growers of this vicinity and
about Bartlett enjoyed a short season

half Of their last years out.turn. Hail
storms, cold weather, a late spring and
frequent heavy showers during the
ripening season caused the reduction.
At Gadsden, fifty miles up the
Louisville railroad, where the berry
fields are so important a feature to a
large number of people, the total
shipments this season will not exceed
5000 cases, of "a quarts each, against
over 10000 cases last year, and as high
as $4,000 cases several years ago, The
prices realized this year were very
satisfactory, ranging from 50 per case,
or 374 cents per quart, down to 50, or
81 cents. The only trouble was the
short supply and consequent light re-
turns.
