PEACHES WIT BE HIGH.

The peach crop tD.s season is practically
killed and lovers of the delicious fruit are
rapidly becoming reconciled TO the dis.
appointment in the seasons crop.
The cold storms in Delaware and the
South, checked the sap in the trees.
and this was as fatal as the killing of the
buds. One of the largest wholesale dealers
in fruit in this city stated today that he
had received word from his agent that the
crop would be failure
and the amount OF shipments
would consequently be extremely light.
He said that there would be no such glut-
ting of the market as last year and that
those who desired the fruit would have to
settle.

wOAEN CR0QUETPLAYERs.

The Dresses They Wear on the Lawn-Bl-
 bycling Among the Fair Sex.
 The real reason for the continued popularity of croquet in this country Hes in the fact that 1t is the only game that ladies oan play in the ordinary run of costumes. according to the New York Sun. Croquet has disappeared in England. because 1t Is the custom there. for women and girls to. spend their af-' ternoons in rough tennis or golf cos tunes, while the French women have gone so daft on bicycling that they wear their costumes until nearly din- ner time. It is only in America that they make special toilet about 3 in the afternoon. This toilet is, for the benefit of the men who arrive on the late trains and who are too late to in- dulge in sports of any kind. In addi- tion to this, most of them are too much fatigued by their work in the city, and they prefer to sit around on the plazzas and loaf until dinner time.
 The women dress with exquisite nice ty and taste, and their costumes are dainty in the extreme. They are prac- tically summer dinner costumes, which include fthe tightest of patent leather shoes Saborate arrangement of hair, and all the oddsfanf. ends. of furbelows of a modern woman's fancy. Thus at tired tennis is out of the question, and golf, bicycling or rowing not to be thought of. Then it is that croquet is taken up, and nobody is more thor ough1y' aware than the women them- selves. that they add to the attractive ness of the lawn without detracting from their own appearance.
 The bicycling costumes of women are becoming more and more rneagre and substantial In the cut and material AS the women increase in speed and endurance as riders they lose their nat ural couquetry and regard for appear ances. % In some of the Orange clubs, where bicycling is rampant just now, the riders look everything but attrac- tive as they plough along the dusty roads, clad in shapeless bioomersy bent far over their wheels, and with their flushed faces streaked with perspira- tion. They ride fast and put up what is known as a sporty appearance, but the cool girl who wears the skirt sits up- right, and whose costume is distin- guished by all furbelows of convention, is still the fayorite with observers.

LIGHT AND LIFE.

Sensible people who have supped full of horrors in reading about the microbes in the air, the water, the bread. the butter, the cheese. and even in, the mosquites, have been saved from de-, spair and suicide by the reflection that in spite of the terrible condition of things revealed by the microscope, and which must have existed long before it was discovered, the human race has managed to live. at a poor dying rate, perhaps, but vet 1t has lived. Of course it couldn't have lived if the condition of things in respect to the microbes was what 1t appeared to be, and sen- sible scientists have been looking about to see what it is that keeps the microbes from annlhilating the human race. They have discovered that the sun is not only the light of the world but its life. The deadly microbes perish in its rays even Gs ao the dark shadows of tho night. ; And 1t is noticed that the rays of sunlight that destroy bacilli are the actinic rays, the same that act upon the silversd plate and produce the precious sun Images we call phot- ographs.

to three hours sunshine was suficient to produce a most markedly unhappy result in the condition of the typhoid bacillus, 1t required an exposure of no less than six hours to the beams Of an electric arc lamp of 1000 candle power, and at a distance of only thirty-nine Inches to produce a similar effect. thus clearly proving the great inferiority in this respect Of this most dazzling of artificial lights in comparison with sunshine. In some recent experiments by Dr. Palermo. of Naples the microbe select- cd for experiment was Koch's cholera bacillus. These bacilli, which produce Asiatic cholera In man. are also fatal to guinea pigs in eighteen hours. Dr. Palermo placed some of these cholera bacllll In the sunshine for various pe- riods of time. and he found that while, when he protected them from the sun. they killed guinea pigs in eighteen hours as usual. after they had been stunned" for from three and half to four and a half hours they were perfectly harm less, and the animals experienced no evil results whatever from being treated with them. Other experiments with the typhoid bacillus and others have shown equally significant results. "The story of these minute living organisms" says Prof. Frankland, which have attracted so much attention during the past twenty years, has also served In this most surprising and unexpected manner 10 increase our admiration of the mar cellous dominion which is thus wielded by the sun: and even if We are not quite prepared to revert to the ancient re- ligion of Khuenaten and of the disk worshippers of Egypt. we shall at any rate respect the material intelligence and beauty of their doctrines, while we shall all endorse the poetic imagery of Plato, when he says that Truth is the Body of God and the Light of His Shadow"
 We ought to have very healthful fall. The sun of this summer, must have cleaned out the microbes very ef- fectually.

EOEND.

For a week or more the attention of the whole civilized world has been fastened upon yellow jacket. The yellow jacket which has so engaged the worlds attention is not a member of that well known and respected fam fly of hornets called yellow jackets It is the jacket used to cover and adorn a part of the frame of the great u Hung Chang, the prime minister of China. The story was that u Hung Chang had lost his yellow jacket and that he was much cast down by its loss. Of course a man who has been in the habit of wearing yellow jacket is troubled when he discovers that he has lost it. The habit of wearing a yellow jacket is difficult one to form, but when formed 1t is hard to break. So. when the great Ii Hung Chang found that he couldn't find his yellow jacket he was doubtless as miserable as one of New Haven's princes would be who should discover that his yellow shoes were missing. And the great u Hung Changs constituents who had been &C., customed to see him go grandly by in his yellow jacket felt deep sense of loss when their eyes sought its wonted glory and failed to find 1t. We have no opportunity here in New Haven to study the effect of a Chinaman in a yellow jacket. Our Chinamen's jackets are usually blue, and there is nothing especially attractive about them. But it is easy to imagine that Chinaman in a jacket yellow as the sunbeams, we'll made and we'll worn, would be a striking sight and sight which would become more desirable the more it was seen. So 1t is no wonder that the loss of the great Li Hung Chang's yellow jacket has disturbed the community in which he lives and moves and that it mas 6AClLeu uluCu SyLlpdIHellC illSIeot wherever it has been heard of
 But there Is good news. The great Ii Hung Chang has found his yellow jacket and is wearing it as bravely and gloriously as ever: China Is a long way off, and the full particulars of the finding have not yet been made known The probability is, however, that tht famous yellow jacket was not at any time really lost. Probably 1t was a
