ABOUT Strawberries.

The Place Which They Occupy In Bsllss
Lettres.
The ancients did not know anything
about the strawberry. 1t was not cul-
tivated until the fifteenth century, says
the Pittsburgh Times, and perhaps first
in England. Shakespeare was fond of
it, as he was of all good things. So
much is to be inferred from what he
makes Glostcr say to the bishop of Ely
in the third scene of the third act Of
'Richard ILL.,"
my Lord of Ely, when was last in
Holborn / saw good strawberries in
your garden there. do beseech you
to send for some Of them"
And the bishop, undoubtedly pleased
at the compliment to his garden, re-
piled:
Marry, and 1 will, my lord, with all
my heart"
In Henry w." there is an interest
ing suggestion as to how they were
cultivated in the early day, as he makes
The bishop say:
The strawberry grows underneath
the nettle; and wholesome berries
thrive and ripen best ncighbored by
fruit Of bascr quality"
Old Izaak Walton, most genial Of
spirits, author Of the Complete Angler;
or,the Contemplative Mans Recreation"
who, when he retired from business
with n competency, ''lived mostly in
the families of eminent clergymen Of
England, of whom he was much be-
loved"--he, too. was fond Of the glo-
rious berry, for didshe not preserve the
saying of Dr. Boteler, that doubtless
God could have made better berry,

One of our citizens who has been
frustrating and visiting old friends
in Idaho county brings good It'd
ings from our adjoining neighbor.
After three weeks travel over the
agricultural portion of the country
and a visit to some of the mines he
is very confident that it is the ban
ner stock county in the state, es-
pecially for hogs, great droves of
them having been driven out DUR

and now only on the billy range

herds. The herds of spotted cav
uses which have always cropped
the grass on the reservation are
gradually disappearing as the home

Spokane Placer Enterprise.

spokane Review
Pierce City is lining up again,
and this time it is placer that is
pushing itself to the front. In the
carly days of Pierce City miners
worked out the part of the creek
that were crossed by the gravel
wash that deposited nine-tenths of
the gold found there, and now
they are getting the hills covered
that are crossed by this same wash.
There is littls doubt that the out
put next year from those in readi-
ness to work will rival even the
stories of the early pioneers in that
country, who used to take the gold
out by the mule load. 1t is often
asserted, and is no doubt true that
Rhodes, the discoverer of that
camp, packed out ton of the yell
low metal The Orc Elmo Placer
Mining Company has a thousand
acres of this ground, which it will
have covered by a system of
bitches that are at least % miles
in length, representing in them
selves a vast amount of money,
but the company says that when
they are in, the expense stops and
the profit will be all right.
One great item in favor of these
placers is the tritling expense with
which they can be operated when
the ground is opened, and on ac-
count of the even distribution of
the pay, they will get it from the
grass roots as soon as the water is
there. Superintendent Nail esti-
mates that he can move 1000 yards
a day with ease, and there is at
least 81 in every yard.
The American Placer Company
is all ready, having expended
$50, 900 in opening its ground, be-
sides three years labor. The dirt
is yielding even more than the
company expected when they be-
gan the work.
There have been several impor-
tant strikes made in quartz this
summer, and there are now at
least three mills in course of con.
struction. As u result, Pierce
City is gradually rebuilding again
and will soon assume the airs and
frills of a metropolis.

A BRAVE GIRL.
Heroism Of . Waitress in . Turning
Hotel.

Heroism Of . Waitress in y Turning
Hotel.
1t does not require either mature
years or an exalted position in life to
develop the qualities that make
hero or heroine. One of the bravest
and most resolutc deeds that we have
ever read of was performed only recent
ly by girl Of sixteen who was serving
rs dining-room girl in hotel at Har-
per, Kan, says Youths Companion.
At four o'clock on the morning of the
10th OF November fire broke out at
this hotel. In its rooms slept thirty
seven guests. A strong wind was
blowing, and the fire spread rapidly.
In one of the rooms two dining-r room
girls were asleep. One of them, whose
name is Maud Schcrmerhorn, woke half
suffocated by smoke. Her companion was
insensible; and Maud, though herself
half-suffocated, helped the other out of
the window, and herself leaped out,
cutting her flesh badly on the glass as
she did SO. She dragged her companion
to place where she would be safe.
Then she saw that the flames were
enveloping the house. and that the
guests had not been alarmed
The task Of doing this she took upon
herself. Breaking through a fastened
lower window, and again cutting her
self severely, She crept back into the
hotel, The halls OF which were thick
with choking smoke, She could not
walk upright against the smoke; but
getting down On her hands and knees,
her face to the floor, she crept through
the corridors, from room to room.
alarming all in the house.
Everywhere she left trail of blood
behind her from her bleeding flesh.
When the last guest had opened the
door of his room in response to her
call, he found her lying helpless in a
pool OF her own blood.
Though he himself was half-smoth-
cred, this guest picked up the girl, and,
CROPPING his way, reached the street
with her in safety. No life was lost in
the fire; but is is said that several peo-
pie would undoubtedly have persisted
but for this heroic girls efforts.

That man should lool, after money
lost in gambling with penitcnt eyes
and vow never again to be tempted to
like sinful foolishncss seems not 50
strange. But Gen. Maury, in his Rec
objections Of virginian," tells how
he was led to similar decision by an
opposite experience. The occurrence
took place while he was On instructor
at West Point.
We had very jovial and humorous
set OF young officers Mt the academy for
several years after the Mexican war,
and great kindness of feeling prevailed.
We played whist, dime points, faro and
brng ut the same moderate rate. 1t was
noted that Mt faro we almost invaria-
bly, broke the bank.
One winter l was laid up for many
weeks by IN injury to my leg. received
while riding, and my room, during NIL
that time, was the gathering place
nftcr dinner. The card table was
drawn up to my bed, and played my
hand until tired and slcc0y.
One night we were playing Drag, and
rs became drowsy, little Frank Clarke
said he would play my hand for me
while slept. When 1 awolSc, the next
morning, found under my pillow the
greatest amount l had ever won ut
cards.
Ire1ected that it was demoralizing
amusement; that avaricc, the bascst OF
human passions, was its moving i'm
pulse; that often, at the card table,
observed some show of feeling that
left an unpleasant remembrance against
comrade, and that none of us could
afford to win or lose even few dollars;
so ceased all play for money, and have
been glad Of it ever since.
