SCROFULA.

OO OROFOEAs
 -% A remedy that can destroy the germs of scrofula, and when once settled has the pow CT to root it out, must be appreciated by those afflicted. The remarkable cures of young children and the more wonderful cures of those of middle age and late in life, as il- lustrated by.our printed testimonials, prove HooD'S SARSAPARILLA to be a reliable rem edy, containing remedial agents which do positively cure serofula and eradicate 1t from the blood.

All sorts of ''prison reforms'' have been tried in Massachusetts, but William Pierce, for nearly 29 years clerk of the State prison at Concord, expresses the opinion that the humanizing tendency or ''sentiment," as he calls it, has gone too far in the adm1nistra. ton of that institution. He thinks, for in- stance, that 1ogging ought not to have been abolished, or supplanted by solitary confne- ment. He says man will come out of soli- tary sullen, though limp and death-like in appearance" and without any disposition to improve his conduct. when the lash would bring him to terms. He is also opposed to the shortening of sentences for good behaY- for, as not working satisfactorily.

A similar and commendabIe movement is on foot in Texas, namely; to put an end to She absorption of small farms into large ones. Smaller farms within the working ability of the average farmer and more of them is the reform desired. The farmers of Harrison county, Texas, propose to divide their large plantations into small farms, and to offer them to actual settlers on the in- stalIment plan, believing such action will soon convert idle lands into profitable farms and fill up the country with thrifty taxpay- arr

The Peach Orchards.

There ere about $4,000 acres of peach or
chards in the Delaware and Maryland fruit
region, and it is estimated that the yield this
year will aggregate four and half million
baskets. The fruit as 1t runs is small this
season and is being brought up by Gamers
and evaporators at forty cents basket.
Gradually the peach centre is moving south
The trees don't live more than ten or fifteen
years, and they exhaust the sell SO that it
cannot recover without rest of ten or
twelve years. Considerable fertilization is
necessary while the trees are bearing, to
keep the crop up. The largest peach farms
now are in Maryland. There is one farm of
125,000 trees and another of 10000 trees.
In Delaware one grower expects to sell 49,
900 baskets, and two others AZ, 700 and 49,
600 baskets respectively. The pickers are
called ''plucks;' they go over the trees on
tall step ladders. and, as they pick the fruit,
drop 1t into baskets hung by a duck strap
around their necks. These splucks' are
described as cross between a tramp and a
fakir. They are bad set, who, when not
engaged in the orchards, roam about the
neighborhood and bully people into feeding
them, and it is scarcely safe for women to
be left alone at home. One of the gang this
year claimed to have been Harvard gradu-
ate and said his father was once a United
States senator, but he refused to give his
name. He was not long ago tutor at OBJ
erin College, but getting to be hard Tor
easy) drinker, he fell in with the peach
tramps and is now one of them. Peach
baskets are made principally in these Mary
land factories. They sell for So hundred.
An ordinary workman can make three hun
dred day. The canning establishments
will put up more fruit than ever this year.
The peach brandy stills are idle, as their
product has been driven out of the market
by grape brandy from California.

horses kicked viciously and urged the others
on. The driver could not rein them in, SO
he dropped the reins and jumped, with the
purpose of catching the vicious horse by the
bit, but they were now in full career down

Smith stood up to jump, but on his side
there was not room enough for a landing be-

waiting for chance to jump the carriage
toppled over. He was shot headlong into
clump of bushes six feet below the road,
and was instantly on his feet uDhurt. In
overturning the carriage crashed into two
friendly trees that kept it from rolling down
the declivity. One of the trees struck Just
behind DR.. Robinson, who was kept from
falling over the declivity by the chaise top.
The ladies narrowly escaped the other tree,
which crushed into the luggage behiad
