Rise OF the Hand h erchtef.

Until the reign OF the Empress Jose
phine a handkerchief was thought N
France 80 shocking an object that g
ady would never dare to use 1t before
any one. The word was carefully
avoided in refined conversation. An
actor who would have used a handker-
chief on the stage, even In the mos
fearful moments Of the play, would
have been most numerically Kissed.
Some time later, q translation Of one OF
Shak sspere's plays having been acted ,
the word Handkerchief" was used for
this first time on the stage. amid cries
of indignation from the audience. II Is
questionable II French elegsntes would
carry handkerchief to-day II the wife
OF Napoleon l. had not given the signal
for adopting them. The Empress jose
phine, although really lovely, had ugly
teeth. To conceal them, she was In
the habit Of carrying small handksr.
chiefs adorned with costly lace, which
she continually raised gracefully to her
lips. or course all the ladies Of the
court followed her example and hand
kerchiefs have rapidly become an i'm
portant and costly part OF the feminine
toilet.

MO- HOPE EOR PEACHES,

CarefaI Ex after Esaa.
enable Lapse Of Fair weather
shows that the Geld Snap Killed
the FRGia.
Special correspondence Of the REPugLmAN
GEoRsETowN, Feb. 2l.-A well.knowr
peach grower Of Kent county said,
" men the reesnt cold-snsp was at itf
height, that il might be- possible thai
all the peaches we're not killed, and
tnat this could not be definitely ascer.
aimed until there had been Period
of mild weather between thai time and
spring. The mild weather lie said
would have q tendency to make the
buds slightly swell II there was any
life left 10 them, and to impart to the
frost-bitten twigs, q certain greenness
il they had not been entirely killed.
The FRI ezs of some weeks ago appa-
rently wrought unprecedented damage
in the peach orchards all over the
State. After the thermometer had in,
dictated twelve or fourteen degrees be
low zero in this county, state Of
weather uppsr alleled in this part of
the State, an examination was made
OF the peach trees. The infant buds
when cut open were found to be black
inside. The germ was shriVelled az
and evidently had no life in it. Even
the twigs, ON which the buds grew,
which we're OF last years growth,
were apparently dead. The bark
looked as ii the branch had been drawn
through the fire, and the wood was
black and discolore1. The trees them.
selves appeared to be seriously hurt.
This was the state of affairs at the time
Of tho first storm, bat the growers with
some hope looked forward to future
developments.
Tho mild weather Of two weeks past,
while coming early in tie year and not
being Of sufficient warmth to give to
even healthy buds perceptible de-
gree Of forwardness, would probably
have shown that there was life in
the peaches had any BEEN there. Ten
days ago, In the lower part Of the
county, things hsd a decidedly spring
like aspect. Around Delmsr the grass
had started and the frogs had COM
menced 80 croak in the marshes. At
that time and since thsn an examina-
ton was made at that and other places
in the lower part Of the county, as well
az in the orchards around Georgetown,
of both the peach buds and the twigs
on which they grew, but no signs Of
life were found about them. The
weather had surely been Of sufficient
mildness to show II there was any life
left in the trees, but they were found
to be in the same state as few days
after the freeze.
AMI so it appears that the cry of
800 peaChes" this year is only too we'll
founded, and that the last fond hope of
the grower was only visionary one,
which investig very emphaticslly
dispels. There is comparatively little
prospect of the trost- blighted trees
bearing any peaches this year. An old
farmer said to your correspondent yes
terday: "6ome years ago, when l was
in Michigan, remember a Geld spell
almost similar to the one We had this
viuter. The thermometer went down
to ten degrees below zero and staid
there a week. The peach trees were
Effected just as ours have been, and l
don't think peach was raised in the
whole State of Michigan that summer"
