T1,ors "a a story that Michigan girl this year
,,oI,od on ouarts of strawberries In one day. but
woman Of Cape Elizabeth, Me-, goes her several
better bv making q record of 175 quarts In the
eamo time. II the quarts were OF the same size
&c those soJd early in the season by FORMULATING
vendors the narrative is not such a severe tax
on credulity after all. We were under the i'm
nressiop. however, that the time for strawberry
stories had passed, and that melon stories were
now ripe.
Lord Salisbury talks contemptuously about de-
serrnO the general elections until the limitations
of the Septennial Act EXPIRE in August, 1898.
He will do nothing of the kind. Precedents are
AGAINST that course of procedure, and being an
Enqlishman, he cannot afford to despise them
The present Parliament will enter upon its sixth
wear next month. The longest Parliament of re-
cent times was that dissolved in 1880, when Lord
Beaconsheld Prime Minister. 1t had eX-
ceeded six years by twenty-five days. The longest
ParliamentS since the passage of the SeptenDlal
Act in the reign of George / were those Of 1920
and 1865, aged respectively six years one month
and nine days and six years one month and SIX
DAYS The average duration of Parliament IS
much shorter, and the present House Of Commons
exceeded it long ago. When Lord Salisbury talks
about rounding out the full term of seven years
he is only chatting the constituencies When the
seventh year sets in he will yield to precedent
and allow the constituencies to record their will
respecting Irish Home Rule, which, he lightly
SAYS has effected no Judgment in England. If he
really believed what he says he would bring on
the elections without delay.
We are glad to observe the movement which is
being made by circle Of prominent ltalian-Amerl-
cans to induce strong representation at the
Columbian Exposition from the country Of their
birth. 1t indicates the right kind Of feeling on
their part Still, it should be said that their
work is in Italy's interest more than in ours. IT
Italy is determined to go on feeding her vanity
at the expense Of her trade she is at liberty to
do so. Her people, not ours, will have the piper
TO pay.
It now appears that the plan Of building
mountain railway up the side of Mount Moosi-
lauke, n H.. from the vicinity Of Warren has
been abandoned and that the people interested
propose to construct roundabout road which
will finally reach the summit after circuit of
some twenty miles. In favor Of this project 1t
is said that such road would open up immense
tracts of timber land, which would secure large
freight traffic in addition to the summer passenger
business" It is much to be regretted that the
timber-cutting craze has taken hold upon the
minds Of those who have fixed their eyes on MOQsi-
lauSe. Some day, we hope, the people Of New
Hampshire will learn that it will pay them bet
ter to preserve their forests than to chop them
down ruthlessy. The summer-boarding business
is already an immense in that State-the esti-
mates of the money taken thither by this means
run, we believe, into the millions-and it is in
creasing and is capable of immense expansion.
But it is not the mountains alOne which attract
people; the forests which cothe them possess
great drawing power. To cut these forests away
is to kill the goose with gold-egg possibilities.
The Moosilauke railway projectors would better
give up the large freight traffic" and stick to the
summer passenger business.
The future Of the Hessan fly is shrouded in
the deepest variety of blacllness. An enemy hath
done this The enemy is none other than Professor
Forbes, State Entomologist of Illinois, With
malice prepense he has engaged in the work of Sc
curing the Matching of larvae Of a parasite which
goes for the undeveloped Hessian fly in the most
ferocious fashion. Evidently there is nothing left
for the miserable Hessian but emigration TO some
vast wilderness where State Entomologists are not
and where parasites found only in Europe" are
not imported to make life for him an unmitigated
burden
good word has at last been said for-Hash.
II comes from that centre Of light and leading
Chautauqua and Miss Emma Ewing is the bold
individual who has spoken out on this interesting
subject. Injustice may be done to her thought in
few brief sentences, but we gather that the gst
Of her remarks was that Hash, scientifically con-
sidered, is one of the most important of dishes
An obvious comment upon this is that it depends
OF the Hash prepared by Miss Emma Ewing's
own fair hands doubtless what she says could
he truthfuly affirmed. But has Miss. Ewing ever
personally experienced the compound called hash
in some clearinghouse or in certain restaurants !?
IL is unnecessary to go into details We infer that
if hll that was said the subject at Chautauqua
is correct, Hash must have great future before
it, Perhaps some enterprising individual will
perceive the necessity of organizing a Society for
the Prevention of the Adulteration of Hash. If
SO, we beg to assure him or her of our warm
sympathy and our earnest support
