A writer in the west facetlously
writes; Nature with lavish hand has
endowed the human body with no less
than s'teen million OF spots TO which
an ache or pain can be attached.
When each one or these spots, both
inside and out is filled with hard
platinum tipped pain; whom your head
aches so that you are conscious OF AL
the rriiies and scallops on your brain
just as you see them IN the pictures In
your physiology; when your heart
thumps and your stomach wobbles and
you have the feelipg that something il
wallowing through your inside works;
when your sternum feels stove in and
there Is an uneasiness under your
shoulder blades, as though your wings
were beginning 20 sprout; when YOU
are one moment alive To the finger tips
with thinking OF the things you must
get up and do. and the next complete
ly exhausted by even the thought OF
doing them; whom your backbone has
the sensation OF being twisted with
monkey when you are SO dizzy
that you can't sec, and your ears ring
and eyes water. and Your nose is ia
such state that IL Is presumption to
lay aside your handkerchief for one
short minute; when YOU cough and
snce1e and groan in turn lin fine when
you feel like the very deuce you can
set u down that you have the grip.

REAL ESTATE AND Bull DING.
FAn Prospects Good In Both Lines Of
business.

The prospect for prosperous fall
trade in real estate in this city Is
Frightening. Real estate has moved
sluggishiy during the last two months,
but dealers are now more hopeful that
business win increase i'm this line and
that parcels OF earth win soon begin
TO change hands at lively rate Kin
scy Il Mercer. real estate dealers. said
Yesterday that they were conf
dent that real estate would soon begin
20 move. and that the prospects are
better now than they were one year
ago; that they had made more sales
during the last two weeks than they
had for three months past Three
largo and modern residences are now
in process Of erection on Jhe old fair
ground addition. A large and commo-
dious school building Is to be built in
TINT vicinity. and all OF the improve
ments are of the best character.
Building throughout the city Is re-
ceiying eonsieerable attention. Many
manufacturing institutions are being
repaired and enlarged, and several res
licences a.-e being remodeled. Rush &
Son. architects. have their desks COW
cred with unfinished plans and bust
ness In building has decidedly
healthy aspect. Among the plans in
Rush's office are the following: The
Grand Rapids Veneer Works, three
story brick building to be erected on
Front-st.. with basement area of
10S1J0 feet. The two upper stories of
this building will be used for drying
vencers by patent process which the
company Is about to adopt.
Perkins & Co. will increase the ca
pacity OF their foundery on Front-st.
by building n bri addition to BE- used
as boiler house.

contemplating an enlargement OF his

DELAWARE PEACH CROP

Said gentleman direct from Milford,
twenty miles south OF Dover: There
are no peaches In that section"
Then again. though the trees are
overloaded in the northern halt OF the
peninsula. there are few good peaches
ripening. They are mostly ''prema-
tures," ripening fully two weeks in ad-
vance OF their time. Shipments OF the
late Crawford variety were made last
Saturday when they ought not 70 be

have none for shipment. Il even enough
for home consumption. This Is ex-
exceedingly discouraging in view of
the total failure OF the peach crop last
year. Only those familiar with these
communities can fully appreciate the
loss. Tracts OF land OF from 200 to
400 acres frequently have a third or
more OF it planted in peaches. Grain
has been an Indifferent crop for sew
eral years past and the low price has
rendered it SO unremunerariye that
farmers have become involved. Then,
too. a fan yield OF peaches gives en-
ployment 10 hundreds OF the poorer
class in handling IL for market. Be
sides. the numerous eanneries and eva
porators must lie idle. involving a still
greater loss To capital and labor.
In view OF these facts. it can be seen
at once that the failure OF the crop in
the southern half of the peninsula Is a
real calamity. and the partial failure
in other sections must be severely
felt. Other fruits. particularly the
pear. are abundant and will partly
atone for this loss.
