The official returns for August show
that the prospective fruit crop of the
country, taken as whole, is much
larger than for several years. The
report follows:
Apples-The crop met with no SER
ious obstacles to development during
July. The influences upon which the
proper maturity of the crop naturally
depends have been SO favorable that
general increase in the index figures
have resulted. There are, however,
some very important states in which
the crop produced is less than half the
normal product. This is the case in
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Michigan and Wisconsin, the recent
percentages ranging from 30 in Michi-
gan to 40 in Vermont.
Peaches-The average condition of
peaches August l was 1913, against
92.3 in 1894. The prospective yield
has declined heavily in Delaware,
where about one-third the normal crop
is now indicated. New Jersey has also
suffered, the percentage falling ~
points and resting now at 81. Condi-
tions in Connecticut and Georgia were,
respectively, 80 and 104. Maryland
hopes for two-thirds crop. Virginia
something under that. A short crop
is indicated for Ohio and for Michi-
gan, about half the normal product.
On the Pacific coast conditions approx
mate the general average for the coun-
try. Much complaint of dropping and
rotting is made, the latter especially
in the South.

ity. That is one of the chief ingre-
dients of diplomacy. Diplomatic anna
bility is not so much the art of giving
ones interlocutor an agreeable impress
sion of ones self as to give him a higher
idea of himself and to convey to him
the conviction that you hold him in
very high estimation Then, from
sheer gratitude, he will have higher
idea of you, try to do all you want, ct
lie tour est joue. 1t is in this peculiarly
Muscovite art that Baron de Staal ex-
cells, which is all the more to his credit
since he Is o martyr to lumbago.
Born in 1899 at Reval, he is scion Of
one of tho Old German noble families
settled since the time of Peter the Great
In the Baltic provinces of Russia. He
began his diplomatic career at an early
age under Prince Gortschakoff, who
was first ambassador at Constantinoplc
on the eve of the Crimean war, and
afterward viceroy of Poland. Like the
good apprentice In the fairy tale, the
baron welded his chiefs daughter, and
is by marriage therefore nephew Of
Prince Alexander Gortschakoff, who
for so many years controlled the for
eign relations of Russia as chancellor
of the empire. He may be said to be
allied TO the reigning family, since sew
eral of his wifes ancestors ruled as
czars, while the founder of her house is
that same Grand Duke Ruric to whom
the imperial family Of Romanof trace
their origin.
After his marriage Baron de Staal
represented the car as envoy at NUM-
Der Of minor German courts, notably at
Darmstadt, whcre his daughters may
be said TO have been brought up with
the girls of the late Grand Duchess
Alice, the youngest of whom is now
czarina of Russia. The latter looks
upon M. de Staal as one of the oldest
friends of her family, and there is every
reason to believe that his appointment
to the chancellorship In preference to
Prince Lobanoff, who was regarded as
first choice for the post, may be due to
her influence.

REAR ADMIRAL MEADE.
Now in Command of the North
Atlantic Squadron.
As Gallant an o}ncer as Ever Wore Uncle
Sans Uniform--For Eighteen Years
the Admiral Has Been Ac-
tualIy ut Sea.

Rear Admiral Richard Worsam
Meade, whose flag is flying on board
4 the United States steamship New York,
the flagship of the North Atlantic
*squadron, will be shortly in command
<of the most important and powerful
4 Heet of vessels that has been gathered
Together under our flag since the war
&of the rebellion. And since the re-
4 juvenation of the American navy, adds
Harper's WeeAly, no squadron OF evo-
luton has had such an opportunity for
experiment and instruction at sea as
that which will be under his orders,
Richard Worsam Meade, third, comes
of an ancestry that has been identified
with the founding of the country and
the furtherance of its prosperity as a
nation, He was born in New York city
\ on October 0, 1887, at the residence of
his maternal grandfather, Judge Henry
Meigs, and is the eldest son of the late
Capt. Richard Worsam Meade, second,
of the United States navy.
IN October, 1850, at the age of thir-
teen, the present admiral was appoint
ed midshipman from the First district
of California, and during his term at
the naval academy he made his first
practice cruise in the United States
steamer John Hancock and the sloop Of
war Preble. Then, under Commodores
Morgan and Stringham, he made
cruises in the steam-frigatc San Jacin-
to in the Mediterranean, being trans
ferred in 1858 to the sloop of war st.
Louis.
In 1856 Midshipman Meade was grad
uated fifth in class originally fifty
three In number. After leaving the
academy he was ordered to the Eu-
ropean squadron, and afterwards made
a cruise among the West Indies in the
steam frigate Merrimac At the age of
nineteen he was appointed acting mas
ter and navigating officer and ordered
to the Cumberland, the flagship of
Commodore Conover, who was in COM
mand of squadron on the west coast
of Africa. The young officer was pro-
noted to be master in January, 1858,
and the same month received his COM
mission as lieutenant, being at the time
but little over twenty years of age.
Then in succession he served on board
the United States ship Dale, the steam
