We have had the periodical wall this
year over the failure of the peach crop
but before our housekeepers take too
gloomy view OF the situation, it may lie
well for them to ponder over the ideas thus
suggested by the New York Herald
At this season of the year gloomy re-
ports and predictions in regard to
peach crop are always in order.
something or other is pcrpetually
happening to mar the prospects
Of IA large crop At one time the
weather is too cold or too wet, at another
il is not cold or wet enough. A tornado
,casionally comes to the rescue. and,
when everything else fails, the transporta-
tion lines have made a combination which
will inevitably have the effect of putting
up prices. This year. according to the
Delaware papers, we had too much frost
in the beginning of the present month, SO
that in Maryland, south of the Delaware
line, where the trees were well advanced.
the destruction is said to be very great.
The Middletown region, in Delaware,
which is the great peach-producing dis
trict is, however, is expected to make up for
whatever deficiencies may occur in other
sections. There the trees have not borne
much fruit in two years. and according to
all peach precedents. they ought to yield
abundantly this season. In the Eastern
Shore counties the chances are said to be
still good. SO that, taking all things into
consideration, there is not much reason to
fear that we shall experience 4 dearth of
the luscious fruit this summer. But the
trouble is not yet over. There are hail
storms and insects and unheard of other
calamlties yet ahead.

.. Tho Game of ShOpDin2."


Messrs. Strawbridge & ClOthier, the great dry
goods firm, Eighth and Market streets, Phila-
dclphia, have hit upon novel advertising. de-
vice and one that will be likely 10 bring that
wcll-knOwn house more prominently than

form of an illustrated game. known as the
""ame of shopping which, with many inter-
rendered its popular predecessor, the s. game
of tttccn,' such strain upon the patience
and goOd-humOr of its vOtaries. The " game of
shopping" is Il revivicatiOn of the Old-tashiOn-
ed "parchesi, -" snake game" etc. That is, the
general method and movement are the same.
1t consists of Il handsomely illuminated card
board. eighteen inches square, designed to rep
resent the varied departments of Il complete
and wel-regulated dry goods house, such as
that of Strawbridge & Clo;hier, whose adver-
tiscmcnt occupies the centre of the card. The
card is accompanied by an "indlcator," being
IL block of wood divided into spaces numbered
from to 6, and upon which is mounted an ar
row revolving upon 4 pivot, which the players
spin TO determine the order of their play-the
game may he played by any number Of persons
from two to six. From this point the game is
played after the fashion of "parcheSi." each
player being provided with a "customer." or
small colOred button, which he moves as many
spaces on the board, which is divided into 60
sections, as his number the indicator
titles him to. The "custOmer" passes from the
entrance OF the store to the exit, the one first
reaching the latter place winning the game.
The customer is subjected to the chance of an
unlucky turn of the indicator, which may
keep him waiting at the cashiers desk or one
of the elevators. or send him back to the en-
trance 10 begin all over again. and thus detain
him in his journey through the big establish

of the house. was in Lancaster to-day making
arrangements for the distribution OF the novel
