Strawberry shortcake.

Il ate my first strawberry shortcake
this season last night" said a young en-
gineer" yesterday. Notwithstanding
that the berries were shipped from
Florida, 1 certainly enjoyed this deli
cious pastry. The middle of January is
early in the season for strawberries, but
as 1t has been since early summer when
the strawberry was on the market it
made the cake all the more Of a delicacy.
THE strawberry season, however, will
not reach its height until the Cullman
berry comes into the market. These
are by far the finest berries that we
get in Birmingham. Alabama, by the
way, is becoming a large producer of
strawberries I understand, and that many
car loads of berries will be shipped
from this section to the eastern mar
ket this season. South Alabama has
taken up the culture of the strawberry
and the berries raised in that section Of
the country promise to rival those pro-
duced in other parts of the state"

1.-THE propensity of advance agents to

L was living In Washington City. Patti

the standing ad, supported by an or

if PATHS manager had advertised an or
chestra of only fifteen or twenty. When
the performance took place l counted the
musicians and there were exactly twenty
three in the orchestra; quite enough for
an Italian opera, but the management
advertised fifty and fifty there should
have been.
THE Savage company announced an
orchestra of forty. and the advance agent
told me that by actual count there would
be thirty-eight. But only twenty-five
players appeared, and an orchestra of
twenty live is not sufficient for any opera
written by Wagner. l learn that IN some
cities the Savage orchestra is increased
to forty by supplementing it with local
musicians. An orchestra of thirty-eight
would have included a complete wood
wind choir, complete brass choir six
first violins, four second violins, three
violas. two violoncellos, three bass viols,
a harp and drums.

For a long time 1 lived in the Rus

some official. Among certain classes a
man who attempts the life of an official
