KENT COUNTY BIBLE SOCIETY -
The Kent County Bible Society, which
is auxiliary to the American Bible
Society, is about to commence a thor
ourh canvass of the county for the
purpose of supplying with Bibles all
families and individuals who may be
in need. This is thought to be advis-
able now in view of the fact that it is
several years since a canvass was made,
and there are probably many cases OF
restitution of the Word owing to the
changes and increase in the popula-
lion and the disposition of many to
negleet to buy Bibles when without
them, unless they are carried TO their
doors. In the prosecution of the work
of this canvas, the society earnestly So
licits the hearty cooperation ofall the
friends of the Bible. If any church or
local organization will undertake the
canvass of specified district, their SER
vices will be gratefully accepted by
the society, and its president will
gladly correspond concerning the par
ticular requirements of the work. As
it will be necessary, hOwever'to employ
a coIporteur to do what cannot be done
in this way, the society asks all
churches aud individuals interested
in this matter, to aid now by liberal
contributions of money; these to be
sent TO its treasurer, John t. Jakes,
wyoming, Del, or to be handed to the
pastor of the churches, or to the com
missioned agents of the society. by
resolution of the society churches con
tributing to its treasury are entitled, il
they so choose, to draw from its depos
itory, kept by Mr.. Albert Cowgirl
Dover, Bibles or Testaments for theil
own use, to the value of One-half o
their contributions for the current
year.

IN the Estate Sentinel of June 2Othr
will be found an exhaustive report of
the peach crop, giving the views Of
growers from all parts of the PENN
sula. From it we gather that the crop
of Dover aad above, will not be more
than one-fourth what it was last year.
from Dover TO Milford, AID from Eel
ton down the Delaware Railroad, the
crop will be as good or better than last
year. Maryland reports crop fully
up to last year, and Denton and Cam
bridge in particular, claim very full
crop. The indications are, that while
in some sections the fruit will be scarce
take the Peninsula over there will be
a full average crop. As the increased
facilities for manufacturing will keep
up a fair home demand, fair prices
mag be expected.

PEOPLE WITH CROSSED EYES.
WOqried and Worn Out Because They
Think Their FeliOtcs are Staring at


ThimI; Their Felio,cs are Stari,,gat
Them.
''You would think that a cross-eyed per-
son would overcome his constituencies" said
an oculist to a New York Mail and Express
reporter, ''but he seldom does. He broods
over it. 1t grows on him. He imagines that
every one he meets thinks as IN uch about it
as he does, and life often loses all attraction
for him. Did you ever notice cross-eyed
man walk! No! can tell one as far as |
can see him. 1t imparts to his gait certain
movement peculiar to the whole class Of
cross-eyed people. But ii is not altogether
bashfulness which causes him TO avoid look
ing person square in the face. If ne re-
tanned the power of sight in each of his
crooked eyes, as is often the case, 1t would
do him no good TO look the ordinary way. He
would be very likely TO miss the object alto
gether. The lines of his vision would prob
ably cross a foot or so before the object was
fully comprehended, and all he would see
would be faint outlines of pair of ears or
the rim of hat. The place where the face
ought TO be would be dismal blank. MANY
bright features are thus ruined By this fearful
misfortune. Some sensitive victims never
pluck up courage enough TO marry They
often become selfish misanthropes, grow
stingy and leave fortune for a horde Of
straight-eyed relatives, who totally ignored
them while they were alive, to fight over.
Others, with that natural yearning for the
love and sympathy which are almost uni
vcrsally denied cross-eyed men, take what
they can get in the matrimonial market.
They spring at the very first chance which
offers. Thus often soulful but cross-eyed
aesthetic finds himself joined to loving but
sympathetic helpmcet, whose ambition never
rises above the kitchen or the laundry. He
loses MS hopes, descends TO the level of his
mate and what might have been talented
career is ended on a large box in front of the
corner grocery in retailing neighborhood Cos
sip. Occasionally you find man with suf-
tlcient strength Of mind to live down the ma
lign effects of strabismus and come out
victor. When once a man has overcome his
diffdeuce he becomes as bold as a sewing
machine agent. When he is courageous
enough to look woman obliqucly in the
face without stammering apology for
having been born, he can fairly be said to be
superior to his misfortune. Such man
would make a heroic soldier. Unfortunately
there are few who can do this. The ordinary
man melts under the affection like a cake OF
ice under July sup.
