New York's Strawberry Trade.
From the New York Times.

From the New I ork Times.
 Attention is attracted to New York as a strawberry market by the announce ment that the Florida crop has all been shipped. New York. 1t is said, consumes fully 2O,O0O,0O0 quarts of strawberries every year. They begin with Floridas which are unusually here for Christmas and sell at $1 a box at wholesale. The retail price is whatever dealer can in- duce customer to pay, and good straw berries at Christmas are rare enough to command almost any figure.
 Formerly the strawberry market of New York was one of the most important dur ing the summer. A hundred cars a day were sold here. Dealers came from all nearby cities and towns to obtain sup plies. and good berries are bid up sharp ly. Now these cities and towns get their own cars, and New Yorks market is limited to local requirements. Twenty five to thirty cars are about sufficient to supply the demand, and unless the fruit is exceptionally good prices decline sharply under those moderate offerings.
 Berries are now coming from Charleston and other parts of South Carolina. With in week or two North Carolina will be- gin to ship, and thus the season moves northward with the summer, ending with New Jersey, New York, and Massachu- setts in August. Undoubtedly the best berries that come to this market are from nearby localities in New Jersey Their flavor is unsurpassed, the size is generally good, and the color even, all important considerations in this market. Berries, like everything else in the fruit market, and sold almost exclusively by the eye, scarcely ever by allowing customer to taste them. The consequence Is that an article must look well or customers Will not buy. Maryland and Delaware send forward good berries. The middle west Is producing excellent berries There is one grower in Staten Island who produces the highest priced berries grown in the vicinity of New York. He has only few and nearly always obtains practically whatever he chooses to ask. Long island berries are also of excellent quality and sell readily at good prices

Knew Her Place.

Bad breaks are made by preachers and church members as well as the rest of mankind" says Representative Brous- sard of Louisiana. .'At a conference meeting held in my state-I was not a member-Brother Brown, a weak, shy but good man and chidless widower and Sister Ames, a strong minded spin ster somewhat loud of voice and fluent of speech, were among the members. In due course of time Brother Brown was called upon to relate his experience. As usual he was slow and humble of speech; he had very little to say-could not speak to the edifcation of the brethren and sisters-the time would be better occupied by others. For my part he said, I feel that it is best to be silent and that my place is behind the door of the sanctuary
 Brother Brown sat down, and soon after Sister Ames was asked to say word for the cause. This she did in straightforward manner, her voice pene- trating the very rafters, concluding her remarks with, I feel that I ought not to talk, and that my place Is be- hind the door with Brother Brown
 The well-known fact that Sister Ames had long had designs on widow CT Browns fine home and well-stocked farm. caused the entire congregation to laugh outright when she said that her place was behind the door with Brother Brown

James Daviess had long been the official tune raiser at all the meetings of the church, and notwithstanding the fact that he bore the disgrace of being expelled from the church without a murmur, he con- tlnued to attend every service, but was not permitted to raise the tune'
 "One of Daviess' small children was presented for baptism. but the preacher refused to baptize it while the father was under the ban Still no word of complaint was uttered by Daviess, but the members felt and knew that the old fellow would raise Cain some time. That time came a few Sundays after the refusal to baptize the child. The preacher found that there was not a member present who could raise the tune, and he appealed to Daviess The old man raised himself to his full six feet four and looking straight at the preacher said:
 "'Ye would mark the innocent young lamb because the old man went astray and the devil may damn you before I'll raise the tune"

From the Washington Times.


 Representative Tate of Georgia, who was defeated for reelection by his broth er-in-law, T. M. Bell, takes his turn-down good naturedly. and when the aforesaid brother-in-law comes to Washington he will have to deny this story
 A man approached the polls In one Of the precincts In Gainesville, and as he didn't look like an honest elector his vote was challenged by a supporter or MT. Tate. The would-be voter declared that he had the right to vote, and that he had the papers to show for it.' He was told to produce the papers, and he went away in a huff, declaring that the election managers knew he was going to vote for MT. Bell, and that was why his vote was challenged.
 By and by the fellow came back, and, showing a couple of documents in the hands of one of the inspectors, asked:
 ''These will show that l can vote, won t they? l guess l know a thing or two.'
 But he didn't vote. for his papers simply announced his commitment to the Atlanta jail and liberation there from.
 Thus MT. Tate's defeat was lessened by one vote.

"Punctuality Is the thief of time" says Representative Kehoe of Kentucy
 "and when I think of this I am always reminded of one of the most successful citizens of my district, who had amassed a good fortune and at little past middle life was enabled to retire from business and enjoy life. He was punc- tual in all matters, and even when on his deathbed he held to the motto which had been his through young manhood and maturer life. When the physician gave him up and informed him that he could not possibly live more than few days longer, he simply began to make arr rangements for his funeral. telling his

A Hard Blow.

Senator Lodge is not one of the story tellers of the upper house, but his friends give him credit for this really good one:
 Many years ago there lived in the vil- lage of Sag Harbor an aged couple who had son named Samuel This off, spring was a trifie underwtted origi- nally and good deal demented latterly, and became a considerable burden to his poor but honest parents.
 "The mother was very deaf, and when the father came in the house one morn- ing and announced that the cow-the mainstay of the family-was dead, the old lady did not hear correctly. under standing that the son Sam was dead
 Not Sam, the COW, mother, said the father.
 Poor Sam! Well, he's better off, I dare say, continued the old lady, still understanding that Sam was dead.
 ".Sam Is not dead. It's the COW, l saw repeated the father.
 Well. father, we must be reconciled.'
 The old COW! the old COW! almost yelled the father ,
 The old cow? Good Lordy, father. what are we going to do?'

state decided that a thief could not steal at cost
 At a session of the circuit court in Pepin county my state, a criminal was on trial for grand larceny, the indict- ment charging that the prisoner had stolen sundry articles of dry goods. clothing, shoes, etc. The amount proved to be stolen was but little more than sufficient to sustain the charge of grand larceny.
 But the jury found the defendant guilty, and Judge W asked him 1T ne had anything to say why he should not proceed to pronounce sentence. The prisoner remarked that he thought the goods he was charged with steaiing were priced too high, and If chargeo at cost he would not be guilty of grand larceny.
 "The court decides. said the judge. that it's construction of the law IS ma. a thief cannot steal at cost. but only at the retail price. You are sentenced to two years in the penitentiary.
