Mr.. B. d. league, one of Chattanooga's
prominent strawberry cultivators, said in
a recent interview that the strawberry
crop will be short by one-haf this year
There are" he said. at least 1000 acres
of strawberries in the Chattanooga dis
trict. What 1 mean is the territory in
cluded by the Chattanooga Fruit Grow
ers' Association, which includes towns on
the Cincinnati Southern railway. There
should be an average of from siXty-five to
seVenty-five crates of the berries raised
on every acre planted. This year the
yield viii hardly exceed twenty-five crates
to the acre. Some growers in a good sea-
son will average 100 crates to the acre.
The weather is cutting the crop off this
year more than One-half. Those who gen.
orally bring in from 100 to 100 crates to the
cars are this year bringing but fifty or
sixty crates, and say that their crop Is
about over. My crop, said Mr.. league,
lis very short The early and midsummer
fruit is gone. The average price was
about $2.25 per crate. We are also losing
money on refrigeration shipments. They
have not proved a success, as about 20
per cent. of them only arrived in fit con-
dition for market 1 am of the opinion
that the crop from the Chattanooga dis
trict will amount to from fifty to sixty
carloads, including express as well as
refrigerator shipments. The last ship
ment sent east from the Chattanooga
district arrived In bad condition being
soft, and generally unstable. The hard
1 berries sold from SO to $3.50 per crate so
money was lost on the shipment Mama
ger Corbly of the Chattanooga Fruit
Growers Association, who was formerly
a great advocate of the refrigerator sys-
TEN, said the fruit growers are losing
money on the refrigeration shipments
because the American Refrigeration Car
| Company has made bungling failure OF
| the business 1t has not given us the
service that other companies can. 1t is
probable that next season will witness
a return to the express car business. There
Is a double loss when berries reach the
market in bad condition. They brine
very little money, and they damage the
reputation of Chattanooga fruit, which
heretofore has been the standard"

AS Antonio was uncommunicative, rolled a
blanket about me and lay down; but could
not Sleep. So rose and strolled out into
the moonlight, down the steep bank of one
of the ravines, carrying my revolver with
me, as matter of course. 1t was dark and
gloomy, with only here and there flicker Of
leaned against tree, and abandoned myself
to reverie. After half an hour or so, q
sound of breaking twigs attracted my atten-
tion. Somebody was climbing the steep
me but to keep silent; and I'waited, as the
noises came nearer, until the something
making them had reached the very tree
against which was leaning.
1t halted there, and saw that 1t was a
man-an escaped soldier from the hacienda,
probably, for he carried a gun, which he
placed against the trunk of the tree, and
then drew off his cap and mopped his brow.
1 suppose 1t was my good fortune-nothing
else-tnat ordained that the musket should
have been set up within my reach. At any
rate, 1 looked upon it as a providential dis
pensation, not to be ignored. Cautiously
reaching around the bole grasped the bar
rel of the gun; and when the soldier, attract
ed by the slight noise made. started In sur
prise, he met the muzzle of the weapon look
ing straight into his face. 1t may have
been an old friend of his, but he did not
recognize it in this new role. "Diablo!'
was all he said, and stood there like one
tTansfxed.
You surrender" demanded in Spanish.
''Pues, senior, why not? What else can
do?'
He turred and went before me with all
docility, stumbling up the incline, and when
the level was reached walked stiff1y to the
fire, where Antonio was sleeping.
Get up, here is a prisoner" said to the
guide, stirring him with my foot. He turn
ed out with ill grace, muttering curses. But
he got a rope and tied the man to a tree,
and took turns with me guarding him.
There was no more sleep for me, for the in
cdent had excited me, and when l was not
standing guard 1 was lying wakeful in my
blanket, thinking over the situation. Some
how, it did not seem an attractive one, for
here was /, an officer in Uncle Sans army

Forced Into the Army.
AT daybreak We were astir Our prisoner
was allowed to sit by the fire and join us
at our coffee, having given his parole that
he would not attempt to escape. I could not
help plying him, and resolved that, as had
been the means of making him prisoner,
would intercede with Gomez for him to be
set at liberty. In his open, frank air and
countenance there was not the least sus-
picion of enmity revenge. AS he ex-
planned to me, he had been drafted from
his mothers farm and forced to serve in
the army. He had nothing against the
Cubans; in fact, his sympathies were with
them, SO far as he had thought upon the
subject.
When the tramp of no )fs announced the
coming of the troop we were ready to join
them, with the horse saddled, the mule
laden, and the prisoner bound with a lariat.
Gomez himself left the trail and rode down
the plateau to look for u.s. His head was
bound about with a bloody handkerchief,
which gave him a fiercer aspect than he
had the day before; but he saluted me
gaily, and rode steadily toward US.
How now, Senor Americana? A pris-
oner? Well, that is good. You see us re-
| turning-all there are left of us; but do you
see any prisoners? No, indeed, not one; yet

The Salts I'm the Ocean.

From Appleton's Popular Science Monthly.
The salts of the sea have fed throughout
all time countless living things which have
thronged Its water and whose remains now
form the rocks of continents or lie spread
in beds of unknown thickness over 6O0O,-
600 square miles of the 143.000000 square
miles OF the oceans floor; they have lent
the substance to build the fringing reefs of
the land and all the cora! islands of the
sea, ami there are at present, on the basis
of an average salinity OF 31a per cent, in the
900, 100, 600 cubic miles of water which make
up the oceans, 10000, ,OOO, 900 OOO, 600 tons, or
10, 173, 600 cubic miles, of salt. This is suffi-
cient to cover the areas of all the lands of
the earth with uniform layer of salt to a
depth of 1000 feet.
1t seems that the sea was made salt in
the beginning as a part Of the grand de-
sign of the Creator to provide for the sys-
tenn Of evolution which has been going on
since the creation. Many distinct species of
living organisms exist in the sea as a re-
suit Of it's salinity, and their remains have
largely contributed to the growth of conti-
hents The three great factors in account
ing for the system of currents in the ocean,
by which it becomes the great heat distrib-
utor of the globe, are changes of tempera-
ture, the winds, and salinity. The last
mentioned becomes an important factor
through the immediate and essential differ
ences of specific gravity and consequent
differences of level that It produces in diff
ferent parts Of the ocean through the ac-
tion of evaporation and rainfall.

He drew rein, extended his hand to me-
and frowned at the poor conscript from
under his sombrero.

reflections. But l put a bold face on the
matter and explained how it had happened
1T was a case Of necessity, don't you
see? 1t wasn't the poor fellows fault that
that secured him. Now, it seems to me the
best way out of it is to set him free again.

ly from under the wide brim. Yes, and

equipment inside of a week"

His Plea Was Heard.
"1'he captain well knows that my pay is
small, and that the chances are against me
to get back to Spain. do not fight against
him because it is my will; he knows why 1t
is. If I could get to my mother in Spain
two hundred pesetas each year I would
not care to go back, and would be glad to
fight for the freedom Of Cuba"
The chief looked him over with searching
glance. 'Tll do it; your mother shall have
the money. Give him his gun. Go. Get into
the ranks. You shall have the next horse
whose saddle is emptied.'
"In that soldier YOU See the bulk Of the
army," he said to me, as we rode along.

as he truly said. Hurt? Well, yes. a stray

street. He was the one among the many
Senators called before the Senate investi-
eating committee Of which Mr.. Gray was
chairman who acknowledged that he had
speculated in sugar stocks and said he pro-
posed to do so again if he felt like it. Quay
vas reported some time ago to be circulat-
ing book telling his virtues as a political
leader with view to booming himself for
the presidency. / credit him with being too
shrewd to do thing like that. One of his
fool friends may have done it for him. But
pamphlets are likely to be boomerangs. A
distinguished citizen Of ST. Louis learned
that in the first administration of Mr.. Cleve-
land.
He was an attorney Of high standing. He
had undertaken some legal work for the
German government by commission from
the German consul at st. Louis, orspossibly
the German legation at Washington. This
work he had brought to a satisfactory con-
clusion, and IN recognition of his services
the Emperor of Germany conferred a dec
oration on him. A man of splendid talent,
he seemed to have his head turned COM
pletely by this honor. He insisted on being
addressed as Sir appeared at public en-
tertainments with the ribbon of the German
emperor and the pendant decoration con-
spicuous over his Shirtfront and altogether
acted in most extraordinary way. The
climax came when Mr.. Cleveland was in
augurated, and this man came to Washing
ton and made a campaign for appointment
as minister to Germany. One of the argu-
ments which he presented was a pamphlet
bound in cream and gold, setting forth the
honors which had been conferred on him
by the Emperor of Germany, as demon
straton. supposedly, of the gratitude with
which the emperor would receive his ap-
pointment as minister at Berlin. If there
had been any doubt about the rejection of
his name before, it was settled by the cir
culation of that pamphlet. The President
promptly appointed another minister to
Germany.

Aus,tn,so .Ride, Inflated.

From the New Yrok Times.
Already the parodists have seized upon
"Jameson's Ride" the first contribution
which Alfred Austin as laureate made to
literature. The London Truth publishes
several effusions by nameless poets, modelled
after that remarkable piece of work The
best of them is the following:
Wrong, Is it wronsr Well, may be;
But I'll do il, pals all the same.
DO you think I'm burgling baby.

But unless they contrives TO nab me,

Their brains over points of law;
A fig for their fiddle-faddle,;

BEWARE OF THE GRIP.

You Can Avoid Getting 1t With Care
and Can Get 1t If You Want.
From the New York World.
The grip, which was epidemic in New
York last January, is here again. Moist,
warm weather is what the grip germs like.
When the days are humid and a sort of
mock spring prevails, the germs gambol
upon the highways. laughing and growing
fat, every now and again making a hop
for the throat of some passing citizen. In
few hours he begins to turn from his
meals in disgust, then pessimistic MOOD
comes over him and he finds himself asking
whether life Is worth living. After giving
the question due thought he decides that
it is not. Then he ties things round his
head and goes to bed.
Cold and damp feet are great promoters
of the disease. A New York doctor of re-
nown says that shoals of women get it by
wearing shoes with soles about as thick as
blotting paper. He advises all his women
patients to try home-knitted heavy stock
ings, even if they have to wear shoes two
sizes too large for them. Most of them ad-
nit that they would rather have the grip.
and they get it, too. Good substantial food
and devotion to hygiene and the nerves
are recommended as preventiyes. AS these
do not cause any impairment of the per-
sonal appearance. but the contrary, they

A Sheep with Its Head Upside Down

From the Philadelphia Record.
An interesting freak of nature which has
engaged the attention of most prominent
veterinary surgeons of tn city is a
sheep perfectly sound in every respect, ex-
cept that the head is curiously twisted out
of its normal position, being turned COM
pletely upside down, the crown resting upon
the animals breast. The freak, which an
swers to the name of Twist, was recently
imported by the present owners from Nova
Scotia, after a great display of red tape
on the part of the customs officials.
Twist is a twin, and he and his mate
were both born with this curious malforma-
ton eight months ago The mate died, but
Twist was reared on the bottle by the chill
dren of the sheep farmer. Now he feeds
himself. but he can eat his food only from
the ground, and he has to push his head
down between his foreiegs to do il. lie
can't lift his head above his breast at all.

The brunt Of this fatiguing mental strain un-

workers in every profession will thank Colonel
Pierce for the following statement recently made
