Midsummer Fruits.

From Country Life in America.
The past generation has seen a remark
able spread of the interest in the cultiva-
tion OF ine iasfasrr!es. blackberries. dew
berries, currants and gooseberries. Not so
very long ago they were considered to be
quite unworthy the serious attention of the
cultivator, and this feeling still exists
among the farmers. From mere garden ac-
cessories, however, the small fruits have
come to be commercial crops and the main
reliance of many fruit growers. They oil
yield quickly to good care. The shallow
roots depend largely on the good tilth anj.
richness supplied to the surface of the soil.
Bearing in summer. the excellence of the
fruits depends very largely on the Supply
of moisture in the soil, which is stored aid
saved by good tillage. Without this rasp-
berries and blackberries may be so hafd
and juiceIess to be hardly worth III,
harvesting. Cultivation is the first requi-
site to success in bush-fruit growing

SURE TO GET DANISH ISLANDS
Opponent of the Treaty Discusses the
Situation.

A dispatch from Copenhagen yesterday
says: A leading member of the right
speaking to a representative of the AsSo-
ciated Press as to the probable result of the
landsthing elections and their bearing on
the sale and cession OF the Danish West
Indies said that although the right had
caused the decentralization Of the treaty,
and have majority of three in the lands
thing. he regretfully believed the lefts or
ministerialists, would gain sufficient seats
to secure ratification Of the treaty at the
October session. A careful canvass has
led to this conclusion. and 1t was feared
that the right also would lose control of
the upper house.
The Danish warship Ingolf sailed today
for the Danish West Indies to remain there
until the sale Of the islands to the United
States shall have been settled
The American warships Albany, Chicago
and possibly the San Francisco, are expect
ed to call at Copenhagen about the middle

Jamaicans for Annexation.

A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Kingston Jamaica, yesterday says:
Agitation in favor of the annexation of
Jamaica to the United States is quite gem
eral and is becoming more pronounced as
a result of the smallness of the grant by
the imperial government for the assistance
Of the sugar industry.
Prominent merchants have taken up the
subject, and with members of the legisIa-
tive council, are writing letters to the press
deploring the present situation.
A leading merchant of the city writes
that for many years the colony has de-
pended upon America and Americans to
save it from bankruptcy and ruin. "It is
true, even If a painful and disagreeabIe
fact" he says. that soon we will have to
decide whether to starve under the Union
Jack or seek prosperity and happiness un-
der the stars and stripes"
