The Board of Managers met last Friday and
besides transacting the usual routine business,
they considered the binding Irvine question. Be-
fore adjourning they, with several aldermen and
other city officials visited North Second street
culvert over the ravine The city desires the state
to bear a part of the expense The Managers con-
sidered the matter of purchasing small job press
for doing light printing for the prison.
Jim the Penman," who sits between the
gates and presides over the book of time and
other ponderous volumes, narrowly escaped in
clneration the other evening. Just he was
about retiring to slumberous rest spark from a
match set fire to some of the light gaudery which
decorates his cell, and there was a wild sweep of
devourng flame that made sad havoc among the
fubdubs gew gaws and curlemacues. However,
Jim the Penman'' came out only little smoked.
We have become firm believer in the doc.
trIne of faith cure. Last week our devil COM
planned of a severe headache, and one OF our
number remarked that he had some pills that were
an infallible remedy in such cases. but they were
very dsagreeable to the taste. Our devil at once
demanded some of the pills. He was handed a
couple Of those little pellets that used by Gig
arctic smokers to sweeten the breath, and the
grlmaces and facial cOntortions he made as he
swallowed the little spheres sight that
would have delighted the artist of Puck" An
hour later he was asked if the pills had given him
any relief and he answered that he was COM
petely cured of the headache, but that the remedy
was worse than the disease for he could taste

Scraps About Strawberries.

scraps ABOUT OCraWOeTT1oS.
Whowas it that said Sharpless strawber-
ries would not do in Florida? They have
had a fair success in my garden four
years; one year forty of the berries fill
ing standard cup. But they need too
much fertilizing for one thing, and they
are not as vigorous as many other vari-
cites. On poor, dry land they are a fail
ure.
Sharpless is late bearer, the latest [
have yet tried; but this season it is
first to bloom on my grounds, and some
ripe berries have been taken from plants
kept over from last season. But the re-
markable thing is that the new plants
are blooming in advance OF the HOff
man and Noisetts. And just here men
ton that many Of my Noisetts are foot
across already without, as yet, any
bloom forms.
Some time since I suggested the inn
portance of leaving here and there q
double stand of berry plants, that miss
ing hills might be supplied. l have done
the same this fall, and it has enabled me
to maintain a good stand. A white
grub with brown head seems to be par
ticularly fond of strawberry roots and
leaves only the top when his work is done.
This pest will be found under the fresh
dead or droopy plant, and must be re-
moved. Then make hole where the
murdered plantlived andset in one THOSE
extra plants with as much earth on it's
roots as practicable. This enables the
new plant to grow on with little delay.
CUT WORMS AND STRAWBERRIES.
Last winter was a memorable one for
cut worms. A friend of mine hired
hand to hunt worms among his straw
berry plants. Whether the worms were
much thinned has not come to light, but
there was abundant reason to get out
the ravagers. My plan is, when there is
time, to notice the cut leaves or fruit
while picking and look for the thief A
moment or two may discover him, and
then he can be relieved of further service
on the spot
LATE BEARING.
For domestic use berries can he had
late. The plants are to be fed for extra
work, kept we'll watered and the runners
removed carefully once week, or oftener.
Where extra large fruit is desired, few
of the finest Towering stems are to be al
lowed to bear and the smaller growth
of even those should be pinched off.

Dillingham;, in the chair Prayer was
offered by the senate chaplain, after which
the reports of the secretary and treasurer
were read.
Rev. 7. p. Frost of Brooklyn, n. Y, de-
livered the annual address, holding tile
close attention of his audience for over an
hour. His subject was: One People and
One Book" The enemies of the Bible, he
said, have fOretold its future failure, hut
$50, 600 Bibles were sent out last year. The
Bible is intimately connected with the march
of our national supremacy. 1t will have an
mcalculable influence upon the future of
this land. 1t is a book of power, not born
to die in its infancy, and never more loved
than in this year 1890 A proof of its power
is its translation into three hundred differ
ent languages. The Bible is the warp and
fabric of civilization. without it the world
would be more than Chasm; it would be a
chaos The possibility of its being sup
pressed is rejected. Any chance of its being
divided is denied. There is a cry against the
penalty of hell. There would be no trust
in human events or confidence in war, were
it not for a hell. Reject the Bible and God,
and we reject the truth of the divinity.
Ignorance of the Bible sweeps away the
government and the home. The laxty of
the divorce laws calls forth the remark that
all the difference in the domestic relations
Of Chicago and Utah is that in the one case
wives are driven tandem, in the other
abreast. The hope of the agnostic is like
the night without a star. If the Bible is
not divine, it is either delusion or . fraud
and is the work of hypocrites or fools.
nifty.
! The thanks of the audience for this most
excellent address were expressed by rising
vote.
The meeting closed with the benediction

culties, occurring frequently as they do,
make people the more willing to listen to
any one who can talk or write well on
social relations. In this story a writer
who in other writings has shown herself
competent to advise, describes the condi-
ton of affairs in manufacturing town,
where one man is the owner and sole di-
rector of large business which he has
built up himself. In the strike which takes
place, neither side wins. but both learn a
valuable lesson. 1t is certainly most sug-

Contrasted with these and antagonistic 10

Some of the young men in this set are loaf
