Fathers Of Strawberries.

The season for the luscious Jersey
strawberries is now at its hight in New
Jersey, and those farmers of Cumberland
County, great center for the fruit, who
did not sell in advance to the Gamers or
commission men are making more money
from the crop than for years.
Last week one man at Fairton sold to
the can house 500 worth of the Candy
Bell variety from single acre of ground.
This is believed to be the most profitable
berry to sell to the Gamers. 1t ripens
early and is u prolific yielder, but on ac-
count of the green end and tough core
does not sell so well for immediate con-
sumption.
Franz Candy, of near Fairton, who shot
himself few years ago in a fit of grief
over the death of his wife, who at the
time lay dead in the house, originated the
Candy Bell variety and named it after his
wife, to whom he was devoted. The berry
of which the most has been shipped
and the highest prices obtained this sea-
son is the Candy Prize, originated many
years ago at Newport by Oliver Candy,
who was not related to the originator Of
the Candy Bell, so far as known. The
Prize will bring in the open market one
or two cents more quart when prices are
brisk than the Bell, but it does not come
so early, hence each berry has its defend
ers and most shrewd growers raise both,
thus lengthening the season in which they
have them to sell, the Prize coming on
just as the Bell finishes up.

South leads in Prohibition.

Constitutional prohibition is limited to a
few States, of which Maine, which adopt
ed its first prohibition law in 1851; Yer
mont, which established prohibition in
1852, and Kansas which adopted prohibi-
tion In 1881, are the chief There are
many more States in which qualified pro-
hibition exists in certain Counties.
There are sc Counties in Alabama, and
in 81 Of them prohibition has been estab-
lished under the existing license system,
adopted in 1889, which provides for local
option by popular vote. In Arkansas so
out Of the 70 Counties, in Florida 80 of
the 40, and in Georgia every one of the 1877
counties except those containing the four
largest cities Of the State, are under pro-
hibition.
In Iowa there is prohibition in "a of
the 30 Counties, in Kentucky in 80 of the
119, in Mississippi II of the 70 Counties,
in Missouri in "a of the 115, in North
Carolina in 90 of the 80, in Tennessee in
40 of of the 96, in Texas in 120 out of 246,
in Virginia in 45 out of LOG, in West Vir-
ginia in 40 out Of "a Counties.
In Southern States generally the basis
of political division is the County, and
Iowa is the only Western or Northern
State which has adopted the principle Of
prohibition by Counties. Elsewhere the
division is either the City or the Township,
and in many New York, PENNSYLVANIA and
New England Townships prohibition has
been established locally, and is as much in
force as if the voters of the whole State
had adopted it as feature of the Consti-
tuition.
There is very little Constitutional or To-
cal prohibition in the Pacific States, out
side of California, but in the Northwest,
Minnesota, which adopted a prohibition
law many years ago for brief time, has
several hundred prohibition towns.
South Carolina is the only State which
has adopted the dispensary system, under
which the State assumes a monopoly of
the sale of liquor.

in the direction of Hooker's forces. In

IL 900 of our troops, well equipped and
stationed In the strongest natural position
upon this continent, surrendered and gave
up Harper's Ferry to the enemy, and thus
left Jackson free, by forced march, to
join Lee at Antietam. and to that extent
strengthen his army upon the field of bat
tie.
But Mcclellan, leaving Harper's Ferry
to its fate, rapidly pushed through the
passes in South Mountain and overlook
Lee, occupying a very strong position near
Sharpsburg, with the Potomac in his rear,
as he there turned at bay to confront the
Union Army. The position thus taken by
him constituted a very good battle line,
as the bends of the Potomac protected
his f1anks; with Antietam Greek in his
immediate front, made an approach diff
cult and dangerous. Thus Lees position
at Antietam was a strong one, and upon
the arrival of Jackson from Harper's
Ferry, after capturing that place, brought
his divided forces together. But as a rule
is is n hazardous thing for retreating
army to fight a battle with great river
in its rear, as was the situation of Lee;
but tnen, he and every soldier in his army
knew that that line where they stood
had to be held, for if broken they were
gone. This instilled a sense of uespera

An Ohio Boy at San Fabian.

| Rutherford j. Proctor, son of Comrade
| Proctor, Co. Il. 2:5d Ohio, Littlefeld, Ohio,
| is now serving in Co. A, 18th U. 5. Inf,
near San Fabian, Northern Luzou. Com
rade Proctor will be remembered by many
| of the old 23d Ohio, rs he served IN that
| regiment four years and three months.
| He was taken prisoner and sent to Ander-
sonville, but escaped and made his way
| to the Union lines. His son, Rutherford
j. Proctor, enlisted March 10, 1899, and
| soon after was ordered to the Philippines.
He writes from San Fabian, +. l., under
| date of May ):
People in our dear old States do not
| realize the hardships that we had to go
| through in 1899 and 1900, but l do not
| care to write about my rough experiences,
| as most people believe we have had an
| easy time.
1T is very hot weather here now, and
| the thermometer stands from 30 to 1O5,
| and at noon it is almost impossible to pass
along the roads on account of the heat and
dust. | will not try to describe my ad-
ventures, but will write of the natives and
| their habits. The rich native wears fine
clothes and smokes the best cigars. He
has from two to five servants; goes to
church nearly every day. One day he is
at a monte game and the next at the
cockpit, where he plays his money freely,
while his wife and children at home eat
and sleep to their hearts content. The
poor native has hard time of it. He has
to work at 10 cents a day-that is if he
does not make his wife do the work for
him. He generally has from six to ten
little children. / have seen so many half
starved children | am growing used to it
now. The children are all beggars, and
will beg all day for q penny.
The natives here commence to use to-
bacco very young. l have seen little chill
dren not more than five or six going along
the road smoking cigars nearly as big as
they are, and when you meet one he al
ways says, Soldier, you give me a
chew" or Soldier, give me some money"
las rule the natives are very friendly.
They always ask you to eat with them,
but they do not seem to have anything
but rice and few small fish, and they
are so filthy that you have to hurry on;
then the native becomes insulted, and tells
you that you do not want to be friend; !;
but we get along as best we can with
them.
THE rainy season is coming on again.
This year is my third and last one, and /
am ready to come home. "Aggie" has been
captured and the Island is at peace; but
our duty is hard and we will all be glad
when our turn comes to leave for

A Butterfly Farm,

An English entomologist, William Wat.
kins, was the first to raise butterflies on a
large scale. For a dozen years the es-
tablishment which he founded for this pur-
pose has furnished millions and millions
of insects to private collectors, and Mr..
Watkins himself has established at the
Geological Garden of London a very inter
esting and entOmologic station, where
may be found the most beautiful butter
flies of the entire world.
The butterfly farm of Eastbourne, near
the Southern coast Of England, and in a
place well sheltered from winds, covers an
area of 1000 square meters. 1t is n gar
den filled with flowers and rare trees, and
surrounded by very high trellis, and here
futter at liberty many thousands of butter
flies Of various species.
From all the countries of the world the
farm receives eggs, which are submitted
to special mode of incubation. Then
the caterpillars, issuing from these eggs,
receive nourishment suitable to their eyo-
luton. A certain number of the most per-
feet insects are preserved as reproductors,
while the others are asphyxiated and
mounted.
Some of the rarer insects fetch enormous
sums.
