Seaside Gambling.

The fight which has been begun on
the gamblers at Long Branch will be
watched with interest for its results by
all who make a practice of spending
any time at the seaside.
1t seems to be inevitable that during
the growth of seaside resorts gambling
places spring up as soon as any agree
able place has reached the popular
stage of its evolution and growth, and
there are few places where gambling
does not proceed with impunity.
The reason is not far to seek. The
gamblers are shrewd and take advant-
age of every opportunity for advancing
their interest. They do much to beau
tify and improve the places where they
set up in business, and as there are
generally small villages whose citizens
who make their living out of the sum-
mer visitors, the local authorities, anx
ious to make all they can, wink at the
gambling for the sake of the benfts
which they gain from the gamblers
improvements. In this way it is not
long before the gamblers gain control
of the local government and, having
things their own way, openly ply their
trade until they become a nuisance.
Gambling has peculiar destinations
at the seaside. City men, who lead ac-
tive, restless lives at home, find the
seaside dull, and as gambling affords
the excitement to which many of them
are used, it is easy for them to fall into
the habit of high play.-PhiIGdelphiG

Death of a Valuable Cow.

Mrs. Samuel NJ. Shoemaker has lost
by death from Inflammation of the
lungs the world-renowed COW Princess
Second, which astonished the world by
giving in seven days yield of forty-six
pounds and ten and a-half ounces of
butter. This test of her butter ouali-
ties was completed April 10th, 1885.
Some time after the test the blankets
were taken off rather suddenly. it is
thought, and she took a cold. from
which she never recovered. She wasa
magnificent animal, of great vitality
and force, as well as a fine butter pro.
ducer. One Ofthe secrets of her i'm
mense yields of butter was her great
vitality and appetite. During the verv
height of the test, when she was fed as
large quantities of butter producing
food as it was thought she could safely
bear, she broke loose one night and
consumed over 200 pounds of prepared
food in a box in the stable. About two
years ago Mr.. Shoemaker refused S25.-
600 for her. She was 8 years and 6
months old when she died. She was
an imported cow, and was bought at
auction in New York for $4,000. She
was Of the celebrated Coomassie strain.
Her last calf was sold during an alb
sence from home of Mrs. Shoemaker
for $4,000, but the sale did not stand.
Mrs. Shoemaker refuseing to ratify it
on her return. While the Burnside
Park Jersey herd has sustained great
loss in the death of Princess Second, it
IS thought her place will be more than
filled by noble COW of grand physique
of the same strain. This animal, Ok
ford Kate, near relative of Princess,
has already a record of 80 pounds u
ounces Of butter in Z days, which is al
ready second to Princes Second, and as
she has never been pushed, it is believ-
ed she can beat the foremost record
The father of this cow sold for $3.50.
All the Burnside herd are in fine con-
ditiOn.-BaltimOre Sun of Friday.

The Peach in Perfection.

Where the peach comes from is un-
known. The learned De Candolle,
who has given much thought and
time to studying its origin, tells US in
his " Origin of Cultivated Plants " that
it comes from China, over the noun
tains of Kashmir, BOkhara and Persia,
thence by way of Italy, where it ar
rived at the beginning of the Christian
era.
No matter whence it came, it is GER
tain that with us it has reached its
highest state Of perfection. In Persia,
where many believe it is native, it
grows wild and is described as "vel-
vety, sour, not very fleshy, and hardly
larger than a walnut" In England
it is grown chiefly in lighthouses, and
the fruit that is called peach in Con-
vent Garden Market, where it is sold
for prices ranging from sixpence each
upward, is yellow and tasteless. Haw-
thOrne in his English note books has
put on record his sarcastic opinion of
an Englishman who, when asked what
good peach was like, said "a juicy
cucumber ~ To an American such an
opinion of the fruit, after he had buried
his face in a ripe Delaware peach,
sounds little short of gross mockery.
IfParis had held peach in his hand
instead of an orange when he had to
award the palm Of beauty to the dis
putting goddesses, he would have been
a happier man, for he would have
eaten the peach and so settled the dis
pute at once.
What the canvasback and terrapin
are among game the peach is among
fruit. AS medical authority writes
"Of all the fruits with which we are
blessed, the peach is the most deliciou.
and digestible. There is nothing more
palatable, wholesome and medicinal
than good, ripe peaches. They should
be ripe, but not over-ripe and half rot
ten; and of this kind they may make
part of either meal, or be eaten be
tween meals; but it is better to max,
them part of the regular meals" Be
fore long the peach season will be al
its height, and then the man who doe!
not eat all the peaches he canis fit only
for pork and beans as diet, for tn,
peach is the poetry of fruit. 1t is tn,
essence of the sun and air embodied il
a delicious form.-PhiladeLphia Dali

IMMUNITY FROM LIGHTNING DARTS.
"A number of scientific men have
been experimenting with powerful dis
charges of electricity, and have made
discoveries that are important in secur-
ing immunity from cloud discharges of
electricity in the form of lightning.
The preventive danger from lightning
is exceedingly simple. 1t is nothing
more than three or four layers of wire
mosquito netting spread over and about
the object to be protected. According
to these experimenters, a keg of pow
der may be envelOped in these protec-
tors and the Veriest thunderbolt can
not explode it. In the future we may
expect to see our homes enveloped in
mosquito netting, while the pedestrian
who is called out when the tickle light
ming darts hither and thither, will put
on his wire mosquito net hat, and run
a copper conductor to his boot heels
But levity aside, if the discovery is
what the experimenters claim for it, it.
value will be utilized in many ways
1t is claimed that the many fine wires
furnish such variety of avenues fol

A REMEDY FOR Poison OAK.-Dr.
s. A. Brown, U. S. N, Mare Island,
Cal, believes that he has found a spe-
cific for the eruption caused by con-
tact with poison oak, sc. He writes
"This specific is bromine. l have used
it with the same unvarying success in
at least 40 cases. The eruption never
extends after the first thorough appli-
cation, and it promptly begins to di-
minish. Within "a hours, if the appli-
cation be persisted in, the patient is
is entirely cured. use the bromine
dissolved in olive oil, in cosmOline, OIL
in glycerine. The application with
glycerine is painful, and, think, pos.
sesses no advantage to compensate for
irritation. The strength ofthe solution
is 10 to 20 drops of bromine to the
ounce of oil, used by rubbing gently on
the affected part three or four times {
day, and especially on going to bed al
night. The bromine is so volatile tina
the solution should be renewed within
"a hours of its preparation"

Model Of Wifely Devotion.

This is what is done by wives out in
Michigan, if the Detroit Free Press
tells the truth. We have none of this
kind of work in Smyrna, for the sim
pie reason that it is unnecessary.
Husbands keep their wives well sup
piled with pocket money.
Jones was we'll aware that his wife
was in the habit of going through his
pockets when he was asleep; but, like
a wise man, he kept silence on the sub
ject. One night, however, he awoke
and caught her in the act. HAP he
exclaimed, "what are you doing, my
dear?"
The lady started, her cheeks flushed,
the pantaloons dropped from her grasp,
and she was about to make a full con-
fession when a bright idea entered her
head. Recovering her cOmpOsure, she
said: Il was looking to see whether
your pantaloOns needed any buttons" ."
They do, they do, my DEAR" he
exclaimed, springing from bed /;
"needed 'em for weeks, months, and 1
wondered why you didn't sew 'em on
but l waited, for was sure you would
get to it some time And how kind of
you to get out of bed at this time OF
night to attend to 'em. Say what you
will, there's nothing in the world like a
good wife. Let me turn up the gas a
little, SOS you will have all the light
you want in sewing 'em on. Got your
needle and thread and the buttons
No. Well, tell me where they are, and
I'll get them for you"
Mrs. Jones proceeded to sew on the
buttons, while her husband sat on the
side of the bed and encouraged hel
with words of praise for her wifely care
and thought for his comfort. occasion.
ally remarking that 60 where he would
he would always say there was moth
ing in the world like a good wife.
Then he went to the wardrobe anC
brought out several pairs of trousers,
coat, two or three old vests and mum
Der of shirts, from all of which buttons
were missing, and cheerfully observed
while we are at it We'll make
night of it."
Two hours later, when Mrs. Jones
with weary sigh, removed the thin
Bile from her finger, Mr.. Jones patteC
her on the cheek and said: 81 say i
again, my dear, say it again, that wher
ever I go will make it known, pro
claim it from the housetops, shout it il
the highways and byways, that a wifi
who gets up in the middle of the nigh
to sew buttons on her husbands clothe
is a priceless treasure, a crown to tina
husband and an ornament to her sex.
Then Mr.. Jones, chuckling to himself

WHEAT AT A DOLLAR A BUsHEL.-
A. a. Pascault startled a conservative
farmer on the courthouse steps last
Tuesday who was lamenting the low
price of wheat and the high price of la
Dor, by saying to him in the most posi-
tive manner, "YOu can make more
money raising wheat now at one dollar
a bushel than you could twenty years
ago at a dollar and half" But the
other man persisted that he ought to
get dollar and a quarter. There is
reason in Mr.. Pascault's view of this
matter; and unless there is truth in it
also, wheat raising will not last long in
this section. The late Charles Rathell,
who was one of Talbot's most thrifty
farmers, said two years ago, as his ex-
perience, that there is money in raising
wheat at dollar a bushel and twenty
bushels to the acre.-EdstOn Ledger.
