A Suggestion.

In recent issue of THE MIRROR. L
noticed in particular an article by ROnda
describing sOmewhata a cOnvicts long mOnOt-
onOus Sunday and wondering if we could not
in measure shorten them to an advan-
tage.
Sunday is calculated to be day for rest
and conservation to Him who made all, in
stead of labor and evil thoughts, but accord
ing to all authors where there is idleness.
there is sure to be a tendency toward evil
thoughts Evil thoughts are certain to lead
to crime, of some sort. sooner or later, so in
order to prevent crime we must begin at the
germ-which in our case is idIeness. both
physical and mental-and thus alleviate the
tendency toward evil thoughts. and perhaps
crime.
OF all the days of the week. as ROnda
stated, we seem to think Sunday the long
est and feel glad when Monday morning
appears with work. exercise. and the pleas
ure of seeing one another. But if we had
something i'm the shape of exercise or
amusement on Sundays we would naturally
look forward to Sunday as. the day for
which it was designated. What may we do
in order to bring about a change for the
better? My suggestion is to start a Sunday
school, with about two hours each Sunday
afternoon in which we may not only have
instructions from the Bible and perhaps
lectures from the many who would will
ingIy volunteer to come here and talk to
us. but have more and better music in our
services. In this way shorten our long
dreary Sundays and furnish us with a bet
ter spiritual education at the same time.
There are many here who would favor
this plan and hope we will soon have this
golden opportunity" EUREKA.

A frank man criticises wrong on sight.
He thus falls under the ban of the power
full who frustrate his efforts towards ad-
vancement and profit. The prudent man
loves gain so much more than truth that
under all circumstances he applauds the
strong, who reward him with opportunities
that lead to fortune. He drives in car
rage, and as he passes the frank man on
foot, says to himself, "FoOlv' And the frank
man says, under his breath, "Ignoble sycO-
phantr' But the prudent man gets there
all the same.-Texas Siftings.

Connectlcut,s Large Pench Cron.

A New Haven despatch says: 1.-The
peculiar conditions. which for upward of
thirty years made it impossible to raise
peaches in Connecticut have vanished,
and the culture of this fruit has again
become large and important industry
in Connecticut Scientists would give a
great deal to know what those conditions
were and what led them TO disappear.
Fifty years ago the peach was as
eusily grown here as any other fruit the
tree was as healthy and hardy as the
apple or pear, and as universal The
fruit was so plenty that it was fed to the
swine. But suddenly there came a reverse
in peach growing, and in few years the
fruit in New England, and especially in
Connecticut, became almost extinct, and
the power of reproduction was
lost. Experiment has exhausted
all the reasonable means of
solving the peach problem and
left it unsolyed. The mysterious
scourge, whether in the soil or in the air.
has spent its force and passed away,
leaving no definite clue to its origin be-
hind. The crop that is now being gath
cred in Connecticut is so large and fine
that 1t promises ample remuneration for
losses among growers of the last ten
years. The largest peach orchards now
in the state are not over FIVE years old
They are at Berlin. Deep River and South
Glastonbury Probably $4,000 baskets
Of fine fruit are being harvested
in Berlin alone. The orchards
lie along the track of the Con
solidated Road. and cars are left daily on
side track in anticipation Of
the enormous demand for trans
portation. A train is sent
every day to Boston. Three hun
dred teams are at work in the orchards
where the fruit is being picked. Six hun
bred and fifty bushels of fruit were har-
vested in one day. This is without doubt
the largest amount of peaches ever
picked in Connecticut in one day, and
shows how important the peach has
again become among the fruits Of sthe
state.
