strawberry Culture.

T. NJ kellogg, Of Michigan, made
an address on strawberry culture. He
has made it a speciality for many years
and grows about sixty acres The life
Of the strawberry plant is very much
like our own life. Our organs receive,
digest, and assimllate our food and
build up our bodies. Plants take up
food from the soil; it goes up to the
leaves, is digested and then goes to diff
ferent parts Of the plant and builds up
the vascular system. All fruits grow
to nourish the seed. He believes the
size Of the berry depends upon the
potency of the pollen. You may not
find one berry from 10000 seedlings
that will be superior. Propagate from
select, well developed plants. He said
fruit growers are fifty years behind
the stock breeders. He would cut off
the blossoms from plants that are
to bear plants. He sets his plants by
hand, drills his hands and will not re.
tain one who cannot set plant with
three motions of his hands. He gives
high cultiyation.-New York Tribune.

woman Suffrage in Other Countries.

WCAAaA SAAAAflb Al OLAAGE countries
In all European countries, except
Greece, Spain, Portugal, Holland and
some German provinces, women have
some form of suffrage. Even Asia has
responded 10 the appeal, and women
possess limited suffrage in all Russian
provinces and in the English colonies
of India. In England, Ireland, Scot
land and Wales women vote for all
officers except members OF Parliament,
and in South and West Australia, New
Zealand and the Isle Of Man women
vote on equal terms with men.
In England the limited suffrage en-
joyed may soon be extended. The first
petition for woman suffrage presented
to Parliament in 1867 was signed by
only 1899 women. The petition of 1879
was signed by 1000 women. The
petition presented to the members OF
the last Parliament was signed by o57,.

ADULTERATED LIQUORS.
MANY Frauds Practiced in Retailing
the Cheap Grades.
.ev Orleans Times-Democrat.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
"One' Of the most baneful things l know
anything about" said a man who is FOND OF
his mornings morning, lis the evil or cheap
and aduiterated wines and liquors, Really II
would be interesting to know how many
frauds are practiced by the men who are
engaged in retailing the various brands OF
Wines and whiskies, and cordials and things
of that sort. 1t would be more interesting
and yet more shocking, to know the vast
amount of harm which results from the sale
of adulterated wines, cheapened Whiskles
and other liquid refreshments, which are
sold over the bar. Recently there has been
a considerable amount of talk by experts
with reference to the use of wood alcohol
There is really no telling to what extent
wood alcohol is used in wines. Take many
of the wines that are brought WITHIN the
reach of the poorer families, and In nine
cases out of ten it Will be found that some
process of cheap and Injurious adulteratton
has been resorted to in order to preserve
the taste and color of the wine while bring
ing it within reach of the poorer classes. III
physicians are right in what they say about
the bad effect of adulterating ingredients,
then it would not be safe to even guess at
the awful consequence of using these
liquids. Wood alcohol is rank poison, ana
experts have been able to definitely deter
mine its effect on the human system. How
many men have been sent to the insane
asylum on account of the unconscious use,
if l may put it in this way, of these impur-
tiles? How many men have been sent to
Jail for the commission of some act of vio-
lence while under the Grazing influence of
these cheap liquids? One dare not make a
guess. 1t is no bad estimate to say that the
use of cheap and adulterated liquids has
furnished a heavy per cent of the inmates
Of asylums and jals. Pure whisky, and
pure wine, pure liquids generally Of the in
taxicatirg kind are bad enough. They will
disease the mind and body soon enough If
used in excess. What shall we say of the
excessive use OF cheap authorizations? Ones
hands can simply be raised in holy horror"

American League Teams Standing.
National League Teams Standing.

One victory in St. Louis was about all
the Senators were looking for, and as a re-
suit they played horse yesterday, the
Browns walking away with the game by the
score of 0 to 3. Reports from st. Louis say
that the game looked like the real article
for five innings, but after that it was some
thing like a farce-comedy. The Senators
seemed to be unable to catch or stop any
thing that came their way, and in addition
threw the ball around in the most reckless
manner. The Browns were not slow to
awake to the situation. and as they need
every game possible scored as many runs as
they could.

innings. fine fielding by the Senators in the

effective manner to make it almost i'm

timely single sent the Baltimore boy over

In the fifth inning the Senators made mat

scoring two runs and tieing the score
Clarke started the fun for the Senators in
this inning and Carrick's sacrifice moved

TWO strikes on Wyatt, when the la tier
lunged at an outcurve, catching the ball on

graceful curve in the air and when last
seen was sailing over the right-ffeld fence

one of the longest on the St Louis grounds
and was about the only redeeming feature
of the Senator's play.

NO MONUMENTS IN CEMETERIES.
President Of American Superintend-
ents Opposed to Them.

from the Boston Transcript.
To plan a cemetery without monuments
of marble and granite would seem strange
to most people at the present time, but
that Is virtually what a well-known ceme-
terry director urged in an assembly of his
fellows convened in this city recently. The
assembly was that Of the Association Of
American Cemetery Superintendent, and
the utterances against the use of monu-
ments were made by its president. Frank
Zurich Of Woodlawn cemetery, Detroit,
Mich, in his annual address.
Mr.. Zurich began by welcoming his as
sociates, spoke of the good that all derived
from the exchange Of ideas in these annual
conventions of which this Is the sixteenth,
and then proceeded to show how the So
called landscape treatment for beautifying
cemeteries by means Of wide, grassy lawns
and natural scenery was at present the IA
vorite. This led him to speak of monu-
ments.
What shall we say of them7" he asked;
ject much earnest thought 1 have arrived
at the conclusion that the one thing we
ought to do Is to find a remedy to prevent
the useless disf1guring of beautiful scenery
and surroundings by stonework which is
neither characteristic nor artistic. When
We remember that from time immemoriaI
there has been implanted within human
beings the desire to mark the last resting
place Of a relative with some memorial,
and. moreover, that this desire has been
carefully used and cultivated by those en-
gagged in the manufacture of memorials
from d1sinterested persons, we can easily
understand that this custom has remained
deep-rooted with the general public 1t is
true, we have witnessed much progress and
Improvement from the old-style memorials
to the monuments Of the present time, and
We are occasionally agreeably surprised
with sentiments expressed favoring the
abandonment Of monuments, so much SO
that We may look forward to the time when
more radical changes will be accepted as a
move In the right direction. Already many
cemeteries have rule prohibiting monu-
ments on certain-sized lots; while in others
sections are opened where no monuments
and only markers level with the lawn are
permitted"
