SERVING SrRAwBERRIEs--We have been
doing Il the wrong way right long In Al.
bany. According to New York paper
the proper way to serve Strawberries now
a.days Is with the stems on. Part of a
small saucer should have a little mound of
powdered sugar poured into Il, and on the
side the largest and choicest berries obtain.
able should be heaped up. Each berry Is
taken up by the stem, dipped into the su.
gar, and eatea from the fingers. That
might do In New York but where you cat
them by the quart Il is N. G. and there Is
something immense In the cream too,

woman.
SALEM TO MEHAMA.-The people OF
Salem are having their hopes raised In ref
erence to railroad connection with the Ore
gon Pacific at Mehana. Mr. Koehler has
been investigating the matter, and-well 1t
would be good thing for the capital. The
road though would run from Turner, and
II would only take fourteen miles of rails.
Salem Is ten miles from Turner; but they
6gure the terminus out at that place, which
would probably be the case so far as the
running of local trains Is concerned. But
will 1t be built?
