Leaving Early in the Season.

In the vicinity of Taylor and Lom-
bard streets there is u gentleman who
has several bird boxes in his yard, that
each year are tenanted by martins.
They came last spring as usual, made
their nests, and raised their young, but
for several days last week seemed az
though they were holding conference
at which other martins were present
and it was evident that something more
than ordinary was being discussed.
One morning this:week they all as.
sembled at the largest box, and afteI
considerable chirping, raised in flock
and departed in a southerly direction
This is the first time they have left 81

Something About Peac hes.

Peaches still remain high in this MAJ
ket, and a reporter started out this
morning to ascertain, if possible, the
cause. Several dealers who were inter-
viewed said that very few peaches were
coming here, the greater number being
sent to the larger cities, where they
bring much better prices.
One man who had about two bushels,
said that he went out in the country
yesterday afternoon to get them, and
he did not think that at any time
peaches would sell as low as they did
last season.
A gentleman from down the State,
whose brother is one of the largest
growers in Sussex County, said that he
was sending all his fruit to New York
by steamer from Lewes, and that they

Before you look for the
lowest priced food, you had
better stop and count the
cost. The lowest is not al
ways the cheapest by any
means. "A hungry man will
relish bread made from indit-
ferent flour, but it will only
be because he is hungry. The
very article he eats may not
have the nutritious quality to
give him strength and health.
The nearer flour can be got
divested of every ingredient
that is deleterious to health
thenearer a person will come
to the possession of perfect
health. We have given this
subject some study, and our
efforts will be to supply the
best, which is always the
cheapest, flour for the money.

SATURDAY.:
AT

Let's see, there are three
classes, we might say, that
we're interested in; there are
those you speak of as the
can't-get-aways;; then there
are those who are away and
can't come, and those who
can come. According to
parliamentary rule the tar
thest off have precedence SO,
a word to the can comes.
We first congratulate you on
the good time you'll not fail
to have, judging by others
who've tried it.
Of course, you no more
come to Philadelphia without
finding" Wanamaker's than
you'd omit the Capitol in a
trip to Washington, or the
Vatican in going to Rome.
Nobody does, but you're
not a nobody. When you're
through here, though, don't
think that's all of Philadel-
phia worth seeing, for it isn't.
Besides, there's the Park and
State House, the Elevated
Road and splendid station SO
handily located for our Gus
toners, and the magnificent
City Buildings as a covered
way to the store. Once ar
rived, you can leave your
luggage at either Market
street corner, and they'll give
you a check for it. You can
take the stairway on the
main aisle, to the Carpet
Gallery, for a view of the
main floor OF the biggest re-
tail store in the world. The
aisles and counters, you see,
are ranged in widening cir
cles the centre around.-
What, do you ask, are those
lines of brass tubing ? Just
step to any Inspector in the
building, who will send a slip
to the cashier at the centre
and return in a few seconds.
1t is the quickest substitute
for the cash boy in the world
The model cottage is here
in the northwest corner. The
great Furniture Galleries on
the west side, with the s. s
Ash Bed Room Set, said to
be the best for the price
ever made. The Museum O.
