MARYLAND PEACH GROWERS HAPPY.
An Unusually Heavy Crop Of Fruit Expected
This Summer.

BALTIMORE, May S,-The reports iron
all parts of the state indicate an unusua
heavy peach crop this summer. On III,
Eastern Shore the trees are in excelen
condition, and the growers are expectin,
large yields.
II is curious and interesting fact tina
the best peaches are now grown in III,
mountain region of the state. Five year
ago u gentleman owing farm land on til,
western slope of the Blue mountains trie,
| frnit-raising as an experiment. He wa
astonished at the result.
The peaches were superb in size. color
and lusciousness, and they easily brought
advanced prices in the markets. The eff
feet of his success was to stimulate thf
fruit-raising interests of the mountain re,
gion and the Cumberland valley. Land
that was begging for few dollars an acr.
jumped up to 500, and some of it now
could not be bought for $500.
There is peach belt extending all along
the western slope of the mountains from
southern Pennsylvania to Harpers Ferry.
view from the elevations shows a patch
work of peach trees, many Of which are
now in bloom.
In Washington county alone there ar,
now nearly 5000 900 trees, and their pro
duct this season will amount to hundreds OF
thousands of dollars. This fruit is a little
late in ripening, but its superior quality al
ways commands advanced prices. Much OF
it is shipped to Western markets. These
are known in Maryland as mountain
peaches, and they bring twice as much in
Baltimore markets as the Delaware am
Eastern Shore fruit.
About the time that it was discovered thai
the mountain lands were good for peact
growing a similar discovery was made ir
California. Along the western slopes OF
the mountain region in that state, where
gold was first discovered, the soil had beer
looked upon as practically worthless, but an
adventurous grower tried few peach trees
and an orange grove.
The result is that today that section i.
one of the banner fruit regions of thu
world and that Auburn, near which god
was first found in California, is the centre
of a great fruit country. The coincidence
has been remarked by all Maryland grow.
ers who have visited the Pacific slope in re.
cent years.
The peach men in Maryland, in the low.
lands as well as in the mountains, are very
fearful of the cholera. II it should come
it will be the ruin of the market, an1 will
bear severely upon thousands of people
who cannot afford to lose the money that is
represented in the orchards. They fee
that the inhibition against fruit imposed IL
all cholera visitations will be especial,
strict in regard to peaches, and as that has
always been the case, their fears are well
founded

HOW Sine Enllvenea whlst.

A novel and mirth-provolxing expert
ment was devised recently by an orig
inal hostess for the selection of part
ners at whist party. Family albums
were ransacked for photographs of all
the gentlemen present in long dresses,
in kits or in the 'frst pair" and these
were shaken together in a hat, from
which the ladies drew.
Some of the bald heads above the
dress snits bore sufficient resemblance
to the bald heads in the muslin baby
froclxs to be easily recognized, but in
others it was difficult to trace owner
ship. The most amusing part of the
play was the amazement of the men
when the pictures appeared, for they,

The project is on foot in Canada to
