Past Profits In Strawberries.

=
1t Is interesting to 60 back in
mind to the time when strawberry
growing first became popular In this
country. The real interest in straw
berry raising began just before the
Civil War. Strawberries of the cul-
tivated varieties were then very un-
common. The wild ones sold for per-
haps 10 cents quart. When the
improved varieties came into the
market they commanded a very high
price, especially just before or after
the natural season for the villa ones.
BY the end of the war the profitable
culture Of strawberries was drawing
good deal of attention Men made
from $500 to $500 on single acres Of
ground. The phenomenal profits i1-
duced thousands to rush into the
business. In time the prices dropped
so that many cultivators that went in
with high hopes Of making great for
tunes abandoned the business in dis
gust. Following that came a season
when the industry of strawberry grow
ing had settled down to commercial
enterprise on commercial lines,
where it has remained ever since.
Though the profits are not now phe.
nomenal, yet they are sufficient to
insure continuance Of the very large
supplies Of the most popular of all
berries.

Mark Twafn's Waterloo.

Mark Twain once said to a friend
that, as to wit, he had met his Water
loo; that there was one woman whom
ne could never get ahead Of in repartee
his. She was a very clever woman
another Of the long list of able mothers
OF great sons. It was from her, also,
that Mark Twain inherited the inimit-
able drawl which has always charac-
terized his speech, and is not an affect
alton, as many people have supposed.
This drawl so enhances the humor of
Twain's remarks that it cannot but be
regarded as lucky gift of nature. Mr..
Clemens was once described in an in
terview as symphony in gray'-gray
hair, gray eyes and "a suit Of gray
clothes. This term can no longer be
applied, as Mr.. Clemens hair is now a
great leonine name of white.

Bitinq and Sucking Insects.

Briefly stated, there are two classes
of insects-biting and sucking. The
latter group includes those insects
which injure the plants by inserting
their tube-like mouth parts into the
plant tissue and draw up the sap Of the
plant. Common forms of these insects
are the scale insects, red spiders, wooley
.aphis and other plant lice. The rene
dy must be one that kills by contact
with the insect body such as kerosene,
kerosene emulsion and the soap mix
lures. The biting insects are those
which chew and swallow some portion
OF the plant or fruit. The grass-hop-
per, many beetles and the codling moth
Larvae are good illustrations. The di.
rect poison, such as Paris green or
other arsenicals, which can be applied
to the part of the plant that is eaten by
the insect are the surest remedies

America is the land of nervous

BY far the greatest number of female
troubles are caused by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh
despair of recovery. Female trouble is
10 common, SO prevalent, that they &C.
cept it as almost inevitable. The great
est obstacle in the way of recovery is
that thy do not understand that it is
catarrh which is the source of their
illness. In female complaint, ninety
nine cases out OF one hundred are moth

The Death of Johnnie Burns
Pathetic Tale of Youthful
Soldier Who Died q Hero

was John Burns of Cincinnati. Ohio
company B, Fourth Ohio regiment. He
begged to be carried to our field hospi
tai, where he might receive attention,
and, if possible, get word to his loving
mother, being her only son. He had
small Bible in his hand, with his
thumb resting inside on the fourteenth
chapter of st. John. His thumb being
bloody it made bloody spot on this
chapter. He desired that the Bible
should be sent to his mother, showing
where he last read.
50 Our field hospital being few hun
dred yards in the rear, we carried
him there and requested our surgeon,
DIR. Redwood of Mobile, to examine
him, which he did in few minutes,
the hospital being crowded with pa.
tlents. On examination the doctor
found his wound to be fatal and his
physical condition too weak for an
operation. He was IS years old.
When the doctor told him there was
no hope, he inquired if there were
any Christians present. We told him
yes. In the meantime several of our
comrades had gathered around him.
He requested a prayer, to which one
OF us responded, all being deeply
touched, then repeating a few lines
OF his mothers favorite song:
There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal stand"
Which he requested US to sing with
him. This song begun there was TAX
en- up through the entire camps. even
back among the federal prisoners All
around then bid him good-by. He
handed me his Bible, and requested
me to hand it to Sergeant Stevenson
OF company B, Fourth Ohio regiment
This sergeant knew his family, and
he wanted him to send it to his
mother and tell her he died a. Chris
tlan.' The next morning I went to
the hospital and learned he was dead.
LAS his body lay there l thought his
face bore the most peaceful look l
ever saw. I learned this Fourth Ohio
regiment was part of Gen. Premises
brigade which we had almost entirely
captured and had them corralled near
our lines. l told my captain about
the incident and requested a pass to
the prisoners to see if I could find
Sergeant Stevenson. He granted nv
request, and soon located the Fourth
Ohio regiment and inquired for the
sergeant, calling his name. He came
forward to know what I wanted. +
inquired if he knew Jorn Burns. He
said, Eyes, have you all got him ?"
I replied, mo, he is in glory" 1 then
told of his death. He was visibly at
fected and I could not restrain my.
self. He said: Johnnie Burns was
the best boy ever saw; he was a
pet with the company. boarded with
his family in Cincinnati, Ohio, and
was his Sunday school teacher in the
Baptist church Other comrades gath
cred near and heard of his death, all
being very much affected, and ex-
pressed their gratitude to me for what
I had done. During my entire service
OF three years I frequently noticed
the fondness which existed between
Ohio and Alabama soldiers. s:

occasionally one comes across
verse or line that unexpectedly touch
es a dormant chord in the heart and
bids the tear drop spring. Into the
past we wander under the influence
of such excitant and by-gone memoir
les, then come to view pictures long
Memory uprises, silences upstairs,
life and emotion that once were real
become again to us a reality. That
which in this way touches one heart
bids fair to touch others, and just
now a letter in print brings before
the writer of these lines boyish face
of the long ago, childish companion,
who turned his face toward the loved
South, never by us his boyhood's
friends, to be seen again.
But let that pass. The subject Is,
The Death of Johnnie Burns" posi-
bly, now told for the first time in
it's realistic pathos to his relatives
and friends, if relatives he has yet
living. Johnnie Burns was a Cincin-
natl boy, a hero whose name history
ignores. No shoulder straps were his
part, but that he was a hero will be
evident to whoever reads the story
this Southern soldier, forty years af-
ter the boys death, tells in his letter
to the Confederate Veteran, which
chances to come before my eyes. 1t
is a touchingly pathetic tale, and
challenges thought One cannot but
wonder which Baptist Sunday school
in this city tae boy attended, who
we're his loved ones, whether that
Bible with the bloody finger marks on
the fourteenth chapter of St. John
ever reached his mother. And one
cannot but further wonder, after these
years have passed, if in this city lives
a friend to value this veterans touch
ing tribute paid to their boyish SOL
der of that sad long ago, or if it
strikes only empty air in the home
city where once the child was pet.
With a view of possibly doing a
service to relative or comrade, posi-
bly, bringing some member OF the
Fourth Ohio into touch with the
Southern soldier who cared for a
brother in blue, l presume to offer
for publication this Confederate's let
ter concerning the death of Johnnie
Burns of Cincinnati.
From the Confederate Veteran:
&c. l.. Gay, an Alabama veteran,
writes that Joe T. Williams of Mont
gomery, was a member of company D,
Twenty-frst Alabama regiment, and
tells this:
"A comrade and I were searching
the battlefield of Shiloh for, some
missing men Of our company. d, of
the Twenty first Alabama regiment. In
passing through a swampy thicket
near where that regiment charged the
Fourth Ohio regiment early in the
morning, we heard the voice OF a
wounded man crying: Boys! boys!'
Thinking it might possibly be one of
our men we went to him. He first
begged for a drink of water, which
gave him out of my canteen. After
he was wounded he had rolled into
the edge of this thicket In order to pro.
tect himself from being run over by
the flying ambulances, artillery and
cavalry, constantly passing near. His
left knee cap was entirely shot on,
and he was extremely weak from the
loss OF blood. His pitiful appeal to
help him we could not and would not
resist after talking to him. His name
