The How Of Ii.

How poor, how rich, how AFFECT, how
august. how wonderful, is man and it might
be added, how more SO" is woman. With
her peculiarly delicate and intense organza
ton, she is the snperlatve degree of man.
Even III diseases she excels HIM, having
many that he has not She has, however,
found out grand remedial agent, for the
cure of her diseases, in DR.. Piercc's Favorite
Prescription; a medicine suited TO her ma,
ture, made for the express cure of those dis
eases which affect her. 1t is especially
effective III all weaknesses incidental to
motherhood, while it is also potent rcstor-
alive tonic for the feeble and dcbilita,cd gen.

Nor EQUIPPED The town OF Dclmar was
almost totally destroyed by fire on Tuesday
16lh INST. Scarcity of water and no fire dc
par,mcnt the occasion. That reminds us
that while we have magnificent water ser
vice, should we have fierce fire during The
prevalence of a strong wind we could not
makc successful fight owing to our great
lack Of hose: we have just about one.hali
the number Of feet that we would need to
fight fire that WAS being carried by The
wind. Better think il oyer.

The peach season in Washington county
has opened in earnest, and III a few days Tho
shipments will be heavy. Up to this time
much of the fruit has been of al inferior
quality, but the finer grades are now Iipcnlns
and will be in market before long. Thu
peach growers are delighted over the pros
poets of a special peach train that will leave
Edgemont about 10 O'Clock at night for Iii

The sugar corn crop in Frederick county
this year, owing to the effects of the prevail
ing drought, will not, it is be!lcycd, amount
to more than about half of an average yield.
The corn is of fair quality, but is maturing
so rapidly that the packing establishments
in Frederick and at other points are Obliged
to work both day and night to their full
capacity IN order to handle it before it be.
comes too hard to be used. One company
alone has out contracts for the production OF
nearly 5000 acres. In addition to two cx-
tcnslye factories in the city there are large
packing concerns also at Buckeystown and
Bar,holow's Switch, near Plane No. A.

The new elevator building which has been
in the course of erection for the last four
months by the Frederick City Elevator Com,
pany was completed last week. The build

Alligators on the Upper Paraguay.

OF course, there being no hunters to kill
them, wild animals are very plentiful in
Paraguay; it is not uncommon to see ia
guars and deer, even from the deck of the
steamer. But most of all, alliGators
abound. When the waters are highest
they roam over the flooded lard, seeking
the small animals, water birds and fish, on
which they live; at that time they are not
SO common along the river channels, and
only now and then may one be seen in the
shadows, with but the top Of his ugly head
above the surface of the water.
In the dry season, as the waters recede,
they gather in the rivers in such amazing
numbers that can compare them only to
tadpoles in pond. l have counted over
sixty on a small sand bank, literally piled
one over the other while all around the
water was full of them. They lie thus for
hours basking in the sun and quite still,
but if steamer approaches the mass be-
gins TO move at once, there is a great rat
ting of scales as they hustle each other to
reach the water, and in moment only five
or six are left, who raise their heads and
stare at the vessel until it has passed them
These more courageous fellows are gener-
orally the larger ones and offer tempting
shots. am no sportsman, but my brother
in-law, who was travelling with me, killed
many from the steamers deck, using only
coarse shot.
1t is not so easy to kill those that are
seen on the surface of the water; shot, and
even bullet, will glance off from the hard
skull unless the eye be hit The top Of the
eye socket is never more than two or three
inches above the surface, and as they are
usually at rather long range, even skill
full marksman may be pardoned for miss

Laws Against Low Necked Dresses.

A correspondent who has been unfa-
vorably impressed by the recent police
raids suggests new field for official &C
tirity in the protection Of public moral
ity, as follows:
I find in my scrapbook a newspaper
clipping where, under the heading of
"Old Pennsylvania Laws" appears the
following:
eff any white female of ten years or
upward shall appear in any public street,
lane, highway, church, court house,
tavern, ballroom, theater or any other
place of public resort, with naked shoul-
ders Ii. e., low necked dresses), being
able to purchase necessary clothing, she
shall forfeit and pay fine of not less
than $100 nor more than $500"
If this be really Pennsylvania law,
still in force. it seems to me that the po-
lice officials at a recent ball were derelict
in their duty as conservators of the pub
lie morals in not Immediately sending
for officers and patrol wagons when so
many fragrant violations of the law must
have been visible to them.-Philadel-
phia Record.

To Conceal the EYES.

An exquisite species of embroidery pecu.
liar to Persia has its origin in utility, and
utility such as one would never dream OF
in this country. The ladies of Persia must
completely conceal not only their faces, but
even their eyes, when walking abroad But
as it is also indispensable that they should
be able to see, a network has been devised
for them to wear before the eyes, through
which they can see without being seen. 1t
may be said here that they do not object Il
this apparently severe law of the land, foT
law it is as well as custom. By means OF
this veil they are so absolutely disguised
that they can go where they please without
being followed or molested. Not even a
woman's husband would dare to lift the
veil or chuddah He would be cut down Oh
the spot without mercy.
Now it is in the embroidering of the lat
tice work designs Of the chuddah that
Persian women display marvellous skill!
with the needle. 1t is made of white cam
brio, drawn and worked in geometric de-
sigts in white thread or silk Some Of
these patterns display exquisite beauty
and delicacy; those which are old are al
most like gossamer, and are of soft,
creamy tint.-S. c. W. Benjamin in Har
per's Bazar
