Wilti Strawberries.
Strawberries have Improved very
much In flavor fince the fifteenth
rentury. I'ntil then the only stmw
berries eaten were wild strawberries
of a kind that would never find a
market nowadays. By 14S0, however,
they were beginning to be cultivated,
for Hollnshed records under that
date a particularly fine crop grown
by the Bishop of Ely in tho grounds
of bis palace, now covered by Hatton
Garden.
He quotes the Duke of Gloucester
as saying to the Bishop, "My lord,
you have very good strawberries In
your garden In Hoiburn. I require
you to let us have a mess of them."
This speech was copied almost verba
tim by Shakespeare In "Richard III."
Still, even the Bishop's fru.t would
not appeal much to modern connois
seurs, for the garden strawberries at
that period were only transplanted
wlldlings, the plants being sold at
about 4d. a bushel. London Chronicle.
A North African Game Bag.

five elephants, six rhinoceroses, five
hippopotami, fifteen buffalos, four
giraffes, one zebra, 122 antelopes,
fourteen crocodiles, thirty gazelles,
two hyenas, four wild dogs, two great
apes, and twenty-four wild birds of
different varieties.
Price Windisehgratz brought back
two live young lions, which he has
presented to the Budapest zoological
