THE STRAWBERRY.
Some Poetry and More History About

Some Poetry ana More History About
This Matchless Red Earth-Berry.
Strawberries heap them high
And wreathe them round with roses
Junes most precious gifts p"
AS yet plums and peaches have no
flush of mellowness; for currants and
raspberries we must wait, and apples
are slowly growing midst their dark
canopy of leaves, while the strawb berry
plant, whose trailing vine was wreath
of white bloom with the violets, hurries
on and ripens its fruit for us in mid
June. The best do not come to us from
over the seas nor after long journeys by
railways, but are gathered from near
fields and gardens. How big and APP
petizing they look midst the dark green
leaves of the vines. We wonder as we
walk through the rows that the tiny
stems of the Sharpless, the Bubach and
the Belmont can hold up and carry
nutriment to such mammoth berries
! have often counted from ten to sixteen
berries in various stages of growth on
a single stem. Who would wish straw
berries to be any other color? We asso-
ciate red with them as we do blue with
violets.
Sweet as doors wind famed
From the gardens of Paestum
The trawberry is. condensed lucious-
ness, SO dainty it seems fitted to grace
esthetic occasions, and does it not?
What would class day be without straw
berries to give color and deliciousness to
the spread? or the many festive occa-
sions that crowd the month of June?
No sonnet to the strawberry has come
down from the ages of the classic
Greek. and while Virgil dilates in glow
ing periods upon the culture of the
grape. he alludes only briefly to this
fruit in ''Ye boys that gather flowers
and straw berries" Wild flowers of the

strawb berry of the ancients, but there is
no proof that it was cultivated by either
the Greeks or the Romans. The straw
berry received its first impetus from the
Anglo-Saxon race, who early priced it
as a delicacy. and, with their love for
the country, to go wild strawberrying

Walled Treasury Of the Gods" is a
beautifully illustrated booklet of 100
pages compiled by P. Donan. A
chapter is given to the fertility of the
territory and another to its rich
mines, while the book is profuseIy

THE Exact Truth" is the title of a
little pook written by that favorite
author, "Pansy," and published by
D. Lothrop Company, Boston. 1t is
the story of one year of young
girls life as shown by a diary kept
by herself. Each chapter is headed
by certain golden texts, and the
diary extracts tell how the principles
inculcated in the texts were carried
out or ignored (as the case might be)
by Zephene Hammond, the young
girl of the story. There is nothing
prosy about the book, and the
young people who read it will enjoy
the everyday flavor of the story and
the lively incidents with which it
abounds-each OF which points use
full lesson. A helpful little volume it
is. For sale at F. o. Clark's and A.

the question and to pave the way
for what he considers appropriate
legislation when there is republican
congress to put it in force. He says
that the sugar bounty is of COM
paratively little value to the produc-
ers of maple sugar and that hardly
third have awaited themselves of it.
The bounty is only two cents a
pound and the difference in price be-
tween the sugar first put on the mar
ket and that which finds its way to
market later fully equals the bounty
which is obtained as the result of
waiting for government inspection
and certifca ties. Judge Powers be-
lieves that the protection of maple
sugar might well go hand in hand
with a bounty to cane sugar if the
latter were the policy of the govern
ment. He is not among those who
believe cordially in the bounty system,
and he thinks it especially inapplica-
BILE in this case, where the essential
thing is to get the early sugar on the
market with the least possible delay.

REPUBLICANS IN SESSION.

Alexander Dunnett, the county
member Of the executive committee
of the Vermont Republican league,
called meeting of the republican
town committees of the county on
Tuesday to plan for campaign work.
Judge 7. T. Gleason of Lyndon was
elected chairman of The meeting and
o. c. Woodruff of Newark, clerk.
About a score of republicans were
present. An informal discussion of
the situation was INDUCED in, and
the most important business trans
acted was the passage of a resolu-
ton asking the county committee to
make the county convention dele
gate convention, delegates being
chosen from each town to represent
their respective towns at the conven-
ton. This is an excellent suggestion,
as it has often happened in the past
that several of the smaller towns
had no representa- ton.

BOARD OF TRADE.

The annual meeting of the Board
Of Trade was held on Tuesday even

LOCAL BASE BALL.

A few young gentlemen interested
in base ball here for the season of
1892 met at Y. NJ. c. A. hall on
Tuesday evening. Herbert w. Blod-
gett acted as chairman and Geo. H.
Frost secretary. The prospects for
a good bali team for ST. Johnsbury
were discussed at some length, as
well as methods of raising the funds
necessary for the most successful car
rying out Of the seasons programme.
The following board of directors was
chosen, and to them were committed
all the details of the business in hand ::
Loren Miner, E. D. Steele, H. 6. Cut
ting, J. E. Hartshorn, L. N. Smythe.
o. S. Abbott, A. B. Noyes.
There is certainly considerable To-
cal interest in base ball, and, with
prudent management and cordial
support on the part of all lovers of
that national sport, St. Johnsbury
ought to have good team this
year.

CONGRESS-.

Speaker Crisp and ex-Speaker Reed
had very lively tilt in the house the
other day, on the question of vot-
ing quorum, and the discussion is
said to have waxed warm.
Senator Sawyer, from the commit
tee on postoffices and post roads,
has reported a substitute bill provid-
ing that on and after the first day of
July, 1892, all articles Of mail mat
ter of the third and fourth classes
shall be comprehended in one class,
to be known as third-class matter,
and postage on the same shall be
chargeable at the rate of one cent for
each two ounces or fraction thereof.
The house committee has finished
the consideration of the bill making
appropriations on pension account
for the official year of 1898. 1t ap-
propriates $133, 1875, O66, as com
pared with estimates aggregat-
ing $147, O64, $50, and the appropri-
alton for the current year is S135,-
215.7S5.
In the house on Saturday a joint
resolution was offered proposing a
the date, beginning and ending of
terms of senator's and representa-
tives from March 4 to Dec. 81, pro-
viding that the annual sessions shall
begin on the second Monday in
January, and further providing that
the term of the president and vice
president shall commence and end on
April 80 instead of March 4.

that Judge Powers is not so

action at the present session of con-
gress on his bill to impose a duty of
four cents a pound on imported
maple sugar. He introduced it, how
ever, to make his attitude clear on

THE NEW YORK LIFE Insurance Con-
PANY has had its full share, both of
criticism and of praise, during the past
year. The recent examination of the In
surance department showed it to be in
excellent financial condition, with a sur
plus June 80 of nearly fifteen million
dollars. The election in 1892 of Hon.
John Mccall, as president of the COM
pany, removed whatever doubt NAV
have been felt as to the future manage
ment of the company, and no company
now offers better guarantees to the in
tending insurer than the NEW YORK LIFE.
It's annual report, published in another
column, shows large business for 1891,
notwithstanding the criticisms to which
it has been subjected. One hundred and
fifty-two million dollars, in new insurance,
thirty-on millions in income, and over
twelve millions paid policy-holders, are
big figures for any company under the
most favorable circumstances. The re-
port shows an increase of FIVE million
dollars in assets, and of nearly half a
million in surplus, between June 80 and
December 81. Evidently the NEW YORK
LIFE has not ceased to be a going COM
panv.'
