STRAWBERRY HISTORY

Professor Bailey of Cornell Uniyer-
sity gives the following historical sketch
Of the strawberry, which will be new
to many and interesting to all: There
vas no commercial strawberry culture
in America worthy the name until the
introduction of the Hovey late in the
thirties This and the Boston Pine
were seedlings of c. NJ Hovey's. Cam
bridge, Mass. They first fruited in 1896
and 1851, and from them have descend
ed most of the garden strawberries of
the present day. These were seedlings
of the old Pine type of strawberry.
which is a direct descendant of the
wild strawberry of Chile. The Wilson
or Wilson's Albany, which originated
with John Wilson of Albany, N. Y, be-
gan to attract attention about 1856 or
1851, and it marked the beginning of
the modern epoch in American straw
berry growing"
ONIONS.
In many parts of the world the onion
is sown early in spring and manages
to get as large a size as the grower de-
sires the same season. This is espe-
cially true of gardening in Spain, where
the onion is the most popular of all veg
etables. In other countries, especially
IN many pdTlS Oh the Eastern states OF
this country, onions are sown in the
usual springtime of planting, but
mature when they reach the size of
marbles. These small bulbs are called
onion sets, and they have to be planted
the next season in order to reach their
full size. 1t is now stated that if the
onions are sown in beds. under
glass; about the time that early spring
~ dishes are SOwn and then moved to
the open ground. they will reach their
full size that season. 1t would seem
as if this would be a much more eco
nomcal way than the old fashioned
plan, which requires two years or over.
1t is well worth the attention of pro-
gressive gardeners. In onion culture it

Wireless TeleSraphy.

Tesla, the inventor, claims that it is
possible to telegraph without the use of
wires, using what he calls the "sympa-
thetic current" In that event, if lie
succeeds in unearthing the process, the
whole institution of telegraphy will be
revolutionized. Neither wires nor other
agencies are needed to tell people
that the St. Paul q Duluth Railroad
offers the best and most popular route
between st. Paul, Duluth, Minneapolis,
West Superior, Saltwater, Taylor Falls
and other points, as the pathetic
current of general favor has made the
fact patent enough for everybody. For
years it has had the lead because of its
fine equipment, its picturesque envir-
onment, the beauty of the summer re-
sorts along its right of way and the pains
it takes TO cater to the comforts of its
thousands of of patrons. Its fast trains,
comfortable and up to date, run speed
lily at convenient hours through tire

running in all directions. Hence, it il
a line that appeals TO the business man,
the tourist and the hOmeseeker, and

Lively school Board Meeting.

At the meeting held Wednesday af-
ternoon several important matters were
settled. The proposition of ". +. Me
Cord 10 settle at 30 cents on the dollar,
with the board for the school monies
deposited in the keystone bank, was
accepted.
The question of musical director
caused a somewhat heated discussion,
but was finally settled on the retrench-
ment plan by deciding to discontinue
this branch of study III the schools.
This seems to be about the wisest
thing the present board ever did. In
these hard times the people are willing
to pay for the necessities, but the lux
uries must be dispensed with. A petit
ton extensively signed by teachers and
pupils asking that diploma be granted
Miss Rose Tracy, whose falling health
compelled her to leave school few
weeks ago, and she has in consequence
missed the closing examinations, was
granted. The board, after attending TO
few other matters, adjourned, ana Will
not meet again until after the new mem
bers are named, then after comforting
with them, the board will meet and the
committee on teachers and salaries will
report. 1t is said that the report is
ready and that the committee recon-
mend reductions III salaries to the
amount of about $4,000. This is quite
a large sum, and we think many resig
nations will follow, if this report is re.
ally true

Nelson Dewey Seniors Entertain
at the Home of Miss Alice
Christie.

One of the most successful of the
many receptions which have been given
in honor of the approaching event,
which will sever about thirty young
men and women from tie pleasantest
and happiest associations they will ever
know, but to which they can look back
with pleasure and satisfaction in wears
to come. if life is spared to them, and
recall the sentiments which cluster
round SO thickly now that no notice is
taken of them, but in after years will
be cherished most fondly, was the re-
ception given by the seniors of the Mel
son Dewey high school, to the juniors
and sophomores of the same school,
and also the seniors of the Broadway
school, Wednesday evening. The high
school teachers were also included in
the invitations. Fully sixty-ive guests
were entertained, and all went home
assuring the entertainers that they had
most thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
The time was most effectively used in
playing games and in getting better
acquainted. Dainty refreshments were
served.
From the word ninety six" the lady
and gentleman making the most words
was given prize. The writer's were
gwen three minutes to make the list,
beginning with a. the two at each
table having the greatest number pro-
crossed to the next table, when the
next letter is announced and all begin
on 81, and so on throughout whatever
word is selected. Miss Jennie Clithro
won the ladies prize, a bouquet of
beautiful roses, and Mr.. Thomas Casey,
the gentleman's prize, a box of fine
candies. Another game which afforded
great fun, was writing kilograms" A
limit was placed at the first ten letters
of the ALPHABET, then every word used
in the telegram must begin with the
letters in succession, that is the first
word must begin with a." the second
with -, " and so on. The prizes were
awarded to the wittiest and the poorest,
Miss lssie Andrews securing the first,
and Mr.. Arthur Lenroot the latter. The
party broke up at a late hour, but the
teachers promised TO excuse all who
were late to school in the morning.

DROWNED.

Another distressing case Of drowning
occurred at Connor's Point, Monday,
when in some way little four-year old
son of Mr. and Mrs f A Wall fell int"
the bay. The child disappeared from
its home shortly after noon and nothing
more was seen of it until the body was
discovered in the water Tuesday after
noon. Coroner Howson was summoned,
but after questioning all who had seen
the child when at play decided that no
inquest was necessary, as it was clearly
a case OF accidental drowning. This is
the second child Mr.. and Mrs Wall
have lost bv drowning.

because Aaron Burr being a college

Since our article on cemetery i'm

gested that the ladies OF the city take

either by buying from them, or contract
ing TO do the necessary repairing, lay
ing out of paths, and directing all the
landscape gardening, and in few
weeks a marvellous change might be
wrought in our cemetery. Persons
with friends buried there would gladly
pay small assessment each year il
they knew the graves were to be kept
in proper condition. Ladies, this is
your opportunity, do not let it pass
without an effort to make our cemetery
as beauti III as possible, at least properly
graded; the grass cut, and the low wet
spots filled up.
