Setting. Out Strawberries.

August is the best time for setting
out new beds of strawberries. Some
persons defer it to September; but in
order to get apretty fair crop next year,
it is better to transplant in August, and
perhaps the earlier the better. 1t is
hardly worth while to enter upon any
particulars in making strawberry
bed, the fruit has become so common
that it is grown in almost every gar
den. It is we'll to dig deeply, pulver-
ize well, manure literally with stable
dung; set out the plants when they arc
wished to be grown in hills, in rows
two and one-half feet apart and the
plants about fifteen inches in the rows.
The tops and a portion of the roots
should be pruned pretty well, the
plants set rather shallow, and the soil
be firmly pressed about them. The
situation should be rather dry, and the
plants should be covered lightly in the
winter with straw manure from the
horse. stable. There are a number Of
varieties that will produce good crops

ference in the flavor as some suppose,
So far as our own experience goes, we

A Mule That Broke Up a Picnic.

On Saturday, in Talbot County, the
colored people gave picnic, to which
their friends in the surrounding cOun-
try were invited. The forenoon was
passed in an enjoyable manner. The
dinner was all that could be wished,
and after disposing of it many engaged
in dance. The fun continued for an
hour or so, when several shouts neat
at hand caused all to run in that direc-
ton, when a most ludicrous sight was
presented. A long meek-looking mule
had his ears set forward, and was do
ing his utmost to demolish with his
heels a couple of bee-hives. The bees
were resenting the attack, and in large
numbers were singing him. This
caused the. mule to kick more wildly.
Several persons attempted to unite the
animal, but came off with face and
hands covered with bees. By this time
the party were forced to scatter on &C.
count of the bees, which were ATTACK
ing all whom they met. All sought
protection in a house. At last some
one succeeded in cutting the halter, and
the mule made dash. This broke up
the picnic. The mule had been bor-
rowed by a negro whom he had kicked
about . year since, and for revenge, it
is supposed, the negro tied him near
the hives.-Colunabus (Ga.) Enquirer.

A Dogs Achievement.

H. s. Lapham has owned q canary
bird and small cur dog about three
years. The two pets have. in fact,
known each other Intimately all their
lives, and they have been on uncommon
ly cordial terms considering the radical
difference in their respective natures.
On Wednesday last the bird escaped
from its cage, and very soon after the
dog disappeared. When MIR. Lapham
opened his front door yesterday morn
ing there stood the dog with the truant
canary in its mouth. Remarkable as it
is the bird was alive, and it now oc-
cupies its old quarters, not particularly

PETROLEUM is now used for the
illumination of all except three of the
lighthouses of the coast of France. 1t
was substituted for COLA oil in 1873,
and has been used without accident
ever since. A portion of the money
saved by this change has been ex-
pended in augmenting the illuminating
power of the lanterns. Experiments
have lately shown that petroleum may
safely be employed for floating lights
also, and light of this kind in the Bay
Of Biscav is now maintained hy it.

One day recently, as one of our
prominent business men was about to
enter his favorite resort for dinner. he
was accosted by an individual with a
decidedly careworn expression who
begged that he would assist him to get
something to eat. AS the man looked
like a worthy object OF charity, the
gentleman told him to 90 in, and directed
the waiter to give him twenty-five cents
worth of food and charge it to his
check, when, noticing a humorous look
on the walters face, he asked him what
the hungry man had ordered. The re-

FACTS AND FIGURES.

EACxO AMI ExUUnESO
1t is estimated that the shipment
of peaches from Delaware this year will
reach 3,532. 900 baskets.
1t is believed that over SIC, 900, 00O
year are expended in private horti-
culture in Great Britain and Ireland.
in two years. time the value of
lands in certain parts of South Carolina
has jumped from two dollars to ten dol
lars per acre.
The manufacture of sporting i'm
plements has assumed large proportions
in this country. 1t is estimated that
from $4,000 to $4,000 sets of croquet,
100000 baseball bats, and 100000
base balls will be made for this seasons
trade by a single firm in Chicago.
The province of Buenos Ayres
counts 81, O0O,O00 sheep. of which 49,
600, 900 belong to Irish settlers within a
days ride of the city. These Hocks will
suffice, if necessary, tofeed the National
Government army formany years, with
out counting 5000, 900 cows, which be-
long mostly to natives.
The destruction of Russia's grain
crops during the past two years has
been simply enormous. Statistics show
that the crop of 1879 was reduced fully
$50, 600, 900 in value by the bad wealth
er and the various pests of the grain,
and it is now established that the show
ing this year will be still worse. The
exports for the first six months of the
current year are less than half those of
the corresponding period last year.
"A member of the Statistical Society
of London has computed the popula-
ton of that city as it will be at future
periods: In 1891 it will be 7,277, 900; in
2081, 8, 63S, 900, and in 2181, 9,O15, 900.
The population of England and Wales
together he estimates at 81, 973, 900 in
1901, at "a, 1858, 900 in POOL, at 127, 274.-
600 in 21O1, and at 169, 081, 900 in 2181.
These figures are based on the theory
that the ratio of increase will decline
every decade as many per cent. as it
has declined on an average during the
past fifty years.
The number of marriages in En-
gland of divorced persons is not very
large, but it is steadily increasing. In
the year 1868 there were nearly III, 900
marriages, and only 40 were between
persons one or both of whom had been
divorced; but the report now issued for
1873 shows that there were 1O7 such
marriages in that year among the l9O.-
600, the total number. In the eighteen
years-1S61-78- were 8S5 mar
riages of divorced persons. In 464 the
man was divorced man; in 4O5 the
woman was divorced woman; in the
remaining 16 marriages divorced men
married divorced women.

and second sowings have been greatly
injured. The recent rains we're op-

selves with the work of setting, where
they had beds Of plants large enough
for the purpose, and the prospect has
somewhat improved over that pre-
vailing two weeks ago. A large acre
age has been prepared throughout the
tobacco growing districts, but it is
stated that a lack of plants will pre-
vent much of it from being cultivated.
With a favorable season from now on,

back and the value of the weed has
