the polics. In Germany and Russia
they were forbidden under heavy penal
ti,&, hat early in the forties they at last
became trademark of respectability.

an Average Crop.
BERLIN. Wis, Aug. 23.-The last few
days have been full of anxiety to cram
berry-growers in this section. The
frost predicted by the signal service
came Thursday night and rumors are
current that many Of the producing
marshes near here have suffered in con-
sequence. The season here has heen un-
favorable for the development Of the ber-
ry, there having been too much water
during the spring months and too much
hot weather during July and August
Under favorable conditions the vines
would have yielded 80. 900 barrels, but
various estimates place the crop-which
will be taken of in about ten days
from 5000 to 5000 barrels The pros
pectiye yield in the cranberry district
north Of this belt is estimated at 10000
barrels and will not fall short Of that
unless an early frost cuts it down.
