Strawberry Culture.

A series of tests were recently made at
Maryland Agricultural Experiment sta
tion with strawberries, with the follow
ing results: DeHJ vnIioIie- nrICucI D
Early and Hoffman for early; Bubaoh
No. 5, Daisy, May King and Alabama
for late. Thege are described as fol-
lows:
Michers Early--Large; fine flavor !;
soft; ripene early; runs more than any
other variety.
Hoffman-Firm; good color; large
and productive; ripens earliest OF any
variety tested.
Bubach No. 5-Most profitable berry
on the list; larger than Shsrpless; good
color and flavor very promising.
May King-Used to fertilize Bubach
lsrgs good quality productive; soft.
Alabama Week later than Hoffman
finest flavor; very firm and productive
very promising.
Parker Earle--Largest plant on the
| grounds; act five times aH many berries
as Bubach berries larger than of that
variety, and OF good flavor; the leading
berry for rich land.
Gandy-Large, firm and attractive
good color excellent for canning.
In summing up the results of the ex
perimenta the Report says: "Succesl
and profit in the cultivation of tht

A Bows Steady Nerve.

B. H. Burke this morning brought
in the skin of puma, American tiger
or California mountain lion, as the
lion is variously called, which was kill
ed short time ago by his son, Byron
H. Burke, near Fosters Station. The
skin is by far the largest ever exhibit
ed here, and Mr.. Burke says the
animal when killed weighed 250
pounds. Tracks of three lions had
been seen, two large ones and a cub.
They had killed colt, and young
Burke went hunting for them with his
Winchester.
He tracked them through some very
high and thick chapparal and was fol-
lowing a narrow trail made by animals
in the brush when, by STOPPING down, the
hnnter saw, twenty yards ahead of him
and standing in the turn Of the road,
this mountain lion. The boy was on
ly fifteen years of age, but his head
was cool. He dropped down on one
knee and raised the gun. The lion
had been watching the hunter and
raised to full height by standing on
its hind feet, to make spring. just
then the boy fired and the bullet
struck the lion in the neck just under
the jaw. The lion fell over, but rails
ed again to make an attack, when the
boy fired again and hit the lion within
two inches of the first shot. That
settled the animal. The she-lion and
her cubs in the meantime escaped.
The skin will be on exhibition in the
chamber of commerce for time. Il San

A Substitute for Leather.

Leather possesses such excellent
qualities for the many purposes to
which it is put that it would seem idle
to seek a substitute. Nevertheless,
there are many persons who, while
they find that leather serves as an eft
fectual protective covering for the
foot, find also that it is often obstinate
in adapting itself to the requirements
of individual feet, or to the more or
less physical abnormalities to which SO
many are subject. In such cases, if
comfort is to be expected, only the
most supple and yielding quality
should be worn. At the same time,
of course, it should be waterproof and
durable. These qualities SO far as we
have been able to judge, belong in a
satisfactory degree to an interesting
and new material called sshexus fbra. !"
It appears to be a fax-derived ma
terial, suitably prepared and oiled, SO
that to all appearance it is leather.
1t is particularly supple and flexible
and takes polish equally well with
the best kinds of calf.

Whisthne Men.

''Most people look upon whistling
as nuisance" said Herbert G. SUIT
life, who is at the Southern, "but
there is no doubt that whistling man
has good deal to recommend him.
I have friend who is warden in
large penitentiary, and he states that
in all his long experience he never
knew an habitual whistler condemned
to term in the institution, and he
says moreover, that although the rules
as to quiet and order are fre-
quently broken, he never remembers
to have heard an attempt at a musical
whistle within the terrible looking
walls of the institution. Whistling
seems to be the natural safety valve OF
good spirits and satisfaction, and the
grumbling man couldn't whistle if he
tried. ."-[St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Plants that Act Like Animals.

Some flowers, as we know, secrete
nectar for the express purpose of feed
ing the insects they attract by their
colors and perfumes. Others attract,
but provide nothing, yet the blunder-
ing insect still fertilizes it in his search
for what is not there. When boys
play similar tricks, we call them prac-
tical jokers. Has the plant done this
either accidentally or mechanically?
Some go SO far as to provide traps by
which insects are caught and utilized.
Are these contrivances also due to
chance?
In the Coryanthes we have mar
vellous collection of means to partic-
ular end, i. e., the fertilization of its
flower. By means of its perfume and
color it attracts bees, only to give
them bath from which they can es-
cape by doing it's work. If man
does something of similar kind we
consider him rather clever, though,
perhaps not. very honest. It is now
generally conceded that animals are
reasonable beings; TO go step
further and allow the same to plants is
almost as necessary.
It does not follow that because
dumb man cannot explain his thoughts
therefore he has none. When the
strong man bears pain without finch
ing, is it because he feels less than the
baby who cries out at the top of his
voice? It is matter of common OBJ
servation that plants show their likes
and dislikes, suffer and languish when
sick, brighten up and look robust in
congenial positions, and have to GER
tain extent most of the faculties COM
mon to man and the lower animals.
True, they cannot see or hear, but
their sense of feeling is very acute,
and we may conclude that even taste
is not wanting.
