CONDITION OF PEACHES.
They VIII Practically BE q FaIIur,
Apples Promising.

They VIII Practically Be Failure
Apples Promising.
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The report
of the statistician of the department of
agriculture for June says that a glance
at the per centages of condition of
peaches on June 1 is sufficient to show
how disastrous the season has been
thus far. The returns at this date
relate principally to bloom in the
more northern districts, and where
conditions are high it would be too
early to form an opinion as to crop re-
suits. AS fruit does not recover from
a low condition early in its history, as
other products do, it is safe to construe
the extremely low figures into a practi-
cal failure of the crop.
The condition for 1894 in the states
producing the commercial crop, as COM
pared with 1898, makes 4 poor showing
for this year, as follows: New Jersey,
1898, 1O4; 1891, e5. Delaware, 1898, 50;
1894, Is. Maryland, 1898, %; 1894, 81.

There has been good deal of talk or
late about the rights of growing girls
and the general coacensus seems TO oc-
that a girl has a right, first OF all. to-
good, sound health, and, enext. to
training SIS comprehensive as her pa
rents are able to give her Reading,
'riting and 'rithmetic are by no means
sufficient for the present-day girl
There is nothing she doesnot wish to-
know, and there is nothing that viii
do her any special harm to know, pro-
vided it is right for her brother to know
it also. Knowledge is not only power,
but it is safety and strength, and steady,
substantial growth 1t is useless to
argue that girls should be kept in ig-
norance; but argue it as much as one
pleases. they will not stay SO in this
day and age of the world BY all
means let them know themselves, the
world and the possibilities of their
future. BY this means they will be
saved a great many shocks and viii go
much more smoothly through the world
than they possibly could if kept in ig-
norance of the most important things
of life Ignorance is danger every
where and always, and the sooner the
fathers and mothers of girls learn this
the better it will be for the children

THE telephone system now in vogue
in France is to be introduced in this
country by a syndicate of Philadelphia
capitalists, who have purchased the
American patent rights from the French
inventor. If the expectations of the
purchasers are realized the system will
revolutionize one branch of the tele-
phone business in the United States.
The prime object of the incorporators
is to introduce the French system in
hotels, apartment houses, country resi-
dences and railroad service. 1t is hoped
that the use of the new telephones will
enable many of the large railroad COM
panies to do away altogether with
their private telegraph service.
