tanning chlorophyl. or the green color
ing matter of the cells, and sapro-
phytes, or those which obtain it from
plant matter in state Of decomposi-
ton.
The peculiar yellow color Of the
leaves. Which gives the name to this
disease Of the peach. would indicate
that the chlorophyl, or green coloring,
was destroyed by some fungi of para
site character, and that it was also alb
sorhing the carbon Of the tree as indi-
Gated by the weak, spindling shoots.
The dIsorganizing power Of such
fungi is readily recognized in the yeast
plant, which greatly accelerates the
process Of fermentation, whereby the
starch of grain is turned into sugar.
and then into alcohol. That such a
fungi may be contained in the pollen
grains waited by the wind fiom one
tree to another, is not to be considered
strange, as some of these microscopic
organisms are so minute, that it has
been calculated that eight hundred
millions Of them could be contained
within a drop Of water Neither is it
improbable that they may be carried
By the leaves from one tree to another
when blown about by summer storms.
If this should prove to he true, it will
be in full accord with the discoveries
Of Koch, Pasteur and others, as to the
germ nature of many diseases which
affliet the human race and animals.
If some good scientific microscopic
would investigate this subject, he
would confer a great benefit to the
public and obtain great credit to him
self. The State should employ and
pay literally for such an investiga-
ton.
The only radical remedy we know
Of at present, is to have an intelligent
fruit grower in every hundred, clothed
with plenary power by the State, and
paid for his services, to inspect twice
or thrice during the summer every or
chard in the bundled and destroy root
and branch every tree showing the
slightest symptoms of the disease.
As precaution against any exciting
cause likely to produce the disease, we
would recommend the non-use Of
stable manure, or any stimulating ar
tificial fertilizer. The best manures
for any kinds Of fruit trees are those
cOntainingpotash and coarseiy crushed
bones. Any manure that produces an
over succulent growth of the new
shoots Of fruit tree is certain to pre-
dispose it 20 disease.

In would be assuming too much to
Gov that the Sunday School Is a
oonacea for all moral ills, but statis-
tics prove that it is great mstru-
mentality for good in the eommu-
,;tv that children who are found,
regularly, in the Sunday School DO
not furnish so many recruits for the
iail and the penitentiary. This iact
yCIone should induce all who desire
the prosperity of the community to
oive their countenance and support
20 these institutions. For If the Sun
Jov School tends to form ana
strenotben correct moral principle IN
the Young, it becomes an important
factor in the great problem OF civil
2ation. A community where the
~ronno are brought up in right prln'
cipleS, where they are early shown
their duty in regard to keeping the
comandments of God, living soberly
and honestly in this world, and pre-
.,sr;ne carefully and faithfully ioi

THE Law and Order Society, Of
Philadelphia, has issued n statement
from which it appears that there are
in that city, 1896 drinking saloons,
/ ,O64 bakeries, and 3,347 groceries;
in other words, there are more drink
inc saloons than bakeries and gro
cefies combined. These figures rep
resent an amount of restitution, mis-
erv, crime and loss that becomes the
more appalling the more you look at
it. Liquor selling cannot be regu-
lated by the law of supply and de-
mand rs other business is, for the
supply will create a demand that
otherwise would not exist. You may
start a bake shop where one already
exists, but the people will not buy
any more bread, the new conner will
only divert Il certain amount of trade
from the other, unless he sells better
or cheaper, the speculation will prob
ably result in loss. But the estab-
lishment of liquor store creates q
demand for its goods. Men, who
passed the corner every day Of their
lives without feeling n want, will be
stricken with sudden thirst; those
who, heretofore spent their evenings
at home will be led from it by handy
grog shop, and to what an extent the
evil can grow is shown by the state
of things in Philadelphia, where there
is saloon for every twenty-nine
voters.
Yet, when we propose to put a
check on this business men say:
would you license an evil? you
might as well license a brOthel."
If our community was so lost to
every moral sense that n brothel was
sustained and openly patronized on
every corner it might be eXpedient
to license them, as is done in France.
Here that evil is kept in check by an
educated, christianized, public opin-
ion, and when public opinion will
make liquor selling rs disgraceful
we will need no license, but are we
to suffer from this evil until the mil
lenium? High license would close
one half of the bars, it would remove
temptation from the path Of the poor
man. who suffers the most from this
evil; and, united with a swift, sure
and impartial enforcement of the
penalty would check the evil of in
temperance, until the advocates Of
prohibition could get the community
educated up to their standard.

three years ago for the New Tesla

REFoRMERs AND CORsETs.

From Baliimore american, SEPT. 90, 1885,
The dress reformers and those who ad'
vocate the abolition OF the corsets as on
article OF women's apparel will be dismay-
ed at the enormous increase in the manu-
facture and asle OF corsets. There are now
no less than 10 or II large establishments
in the United States devoted exclusively to
the manufacture OF corsets OF the better
quality. Their capital aggregates millions
of money, and Of the manufacturers OF The
cheaper grade of goods there is seemingly
no end. The Thomson Glove-Fitting cor
set manufactured by Thomson, Langdon
a. Co., of New York, which is sold by
all frstcass dealers in the Uni.
ted States, is gaining in popular
favor each season, and at the
present time the orders ore far in advance
of the supply. Whether or not corsets are
injurious to health will continue to be
vexed question with theorists until The
Goddess of Fashion DEGREES their abolition.
Meanwhile, any article which adds to the
beauty and comfort Of the female form
will continue in favor unless the goddess is
dethroned Messrs Thomson, l.augdon u
Co recognize this fact, and they make
more than thirteen different styles OF
Thomson Glove Fitting, two of which are
with extra long waists, in order that every
demand of comfort and beauty may be
met. Competent judges have pronounced
them superior 10 oil others, and they have
obtained the highest awards at all the
worlds great fairs and exhibitions. The
latest honor is the First Degree Of Merit
at the New Orleans Exposition.
