This grows in the North, but does not appear on
the market, as yet, in any quantity.
In Europe the different varieties Of the straw
berry are readily recognized. but in this country
the general impression is that strawberry is
just a strawberry. I guess said one dealer,
in speaking of that fact, that We aren't a suf-
fciently imaginative people to care much about
the different kinds Of Strawberries" In fact
the difference. in America at least, lies in the
time of bearing rather than in the favor. But
it must be admitted that this country cannot
produce strawberries to rival those of Europe.
This unfortunate fact is admitted by every one.

on the market are distinguished 10 a certain ex-
tent by the shape of the fruit; growers also
distinguish between the bi-sexuaI plant, self
fertilizing and the pistillate, which has no sta
mems and must of course, be grown in con
nection with the perfect towering variety. The
pistillates are usually the more prolific, when
properly fertiized. Of the most popular vari-
eties which viii easily be recognized by their
shape may be mentioned the Brandywine, a

popular Although growers realize the limita-
tiors of straw berry culture in this country, they
none the less try TO improve the fruit by
uerous experiments. Two French varieties have
recently been introduced which, if widely culti-
waited would give strawberries in September
These varieties give three crops year, and
have received the first class certificate of the
French National Horticultural Society.

ARAB SAILORS FOR THE FRENCH NAVY.

Paris correspondence of The Pail Mall Gazette.
The French Admiralty has decided to continue
the experiment, essayed for the first time last
year Of recruiting Arab sailors for the navy.
The contingent enrolled last November consisted
Of fifty men drawn from Djerbah and the South
ern Tunisian ports. The men began their train
ing by undergoing three months special course
of instruction BiZerta. At the end of this
probationary period thirty-nine of them were
judged capable of becoming sailors and were
drafted into the navy on the same footing as
their French comrades. 1t is considered. how

useful StOkeIs. 1t does do to isolate them,
as they only be reconced to their life on
board if number Of them together When
this condition is observed they are perfectly
contented observe excellent discipline and show
great pride in their uniform. On the other hand
there is some difficulty in feeding them, as they
will not eat pork, and regard all kinds of timed
food with extreme suspicion. Still, the expert
ment has been successful enough to warrant the
recruiting of a second contingent next Novem-
