Very Encouraging.
Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal
SMYRNA, March 1.-The outlook for u
good peach crop in this vicinity looks very
encouraging. The buds are III healthy
condition and have not shown any signs
of the cold blast of winter. An interview
with few peach growers makes the out
look very encouraging and if nothing
comes to pass to interfere with their
growth, our farmers expect to reap good
results,
Many of the farmers, discouraged by the
rot and yellows which have characterized
the Delaware orchards for several years
past. have pulled up their trees to make
room for other farm products and what
used to be one of the largest peach grow.
ing centres in the State, has dwindled
down to few orchards. A number, how,
ever, will have young orchards bearing
this summer and in the event of a good
peach crop these orchards will bear choice
fruit. The most prolific young peacl
orchard from present indications is that Of

BANK BOOKKEEPING.

A Perfect system Never Has and May
Never Be Developed.
The cashier of prominent up town
bank says that such thing as perfect
system of bookkeeping has never been
devised and probably never will be.
when you think of it. he said, book
keeping is simply question of mental
ingenuity. What one brain can devise
in the way of safeguards another brain
can usually undo. speaking in general
way. The daily papers il condemning
the banks because of the moderate sal
aries paid to bookkeepers overlook a
very important fact The banks pay the
market rates to expert bookkeepers,
which are anywhere from 81, 800 to S2.-
400 year. An almost unlimited num-
Der of men can be obtained at these
figures. and paying more money would
not make the banks bit safer, for the
simple reason that men of strong mental
powers. great business capacity and I'M
swerving integrity are not. as rule.
content to be mechanical bookkeepers
In lurge institutions lido not, of course,
mean to disparage bookkeepers in any
way.
''The point is that the men who make
good bookkeepers are unimaginatiye, re-
liable and steady going persons, who
are not influenced by great ambition.
and who do not aspire to lofty places. 1t
is not required Of bookkeeper that he
shall have very high mental qualifica-
tions as bookkeeping is now conducted
in our big institutions. Each man has a
stipulated amount of work of stereo-
typed nature to do. He has of course
enough ingenuity to swindle, if he
chooses to do So Anybody who believes
that perfect system of bookkeeping
can be devised must also believe that it
would be impossible to counterfeit
money. The Bank of England has been
held up as marvel for many years, and
yet it is no secret that that institution
was swindled in the most complete
manner for many years before it was
found out. The most important and con-
servative commercial agencies and finan-
oial institutions in this city and London
have lost money through their en-
ployees, and the Credit Lyonnaise. in
France, where bookkeeping is said to
have been carried to the very highest
point of safety, was completely upset by
anumber of clerks two years ago. who
had no difficulty whatever in hoodwink-
ing the experts and pocketing the banks
money. New York Sun.

CAT ELECTRICITY.

Those Who Rely on IL For Curative Pur-

Tho London Lancet says
The electrical effect produced by rub.

more correctly, the electricity Of cou

Those who are accustomed toreiy on the

may find consolation in the last named
experiment, inasmuch as 1t teaches them

secured by gentle friction ON its skin.
Apart, however from questions Of

Orchids For Cut Flowers.

So many beautiful flowers drop their
petals soon after cutting that they are
out of favor with purchasers. The ef-
forts OF florists are generally In the di
rection Of introducing such flowers as
will hold their own for some time after
cutting 1t is possibly one of the lead
ing advantages Of the carnation that it
lasts so long on tho parlor table, and
this is found TO be true with many sre-
cies of orchids which are coming into
favor for cutting purposes, quite as
much on account of this persistence a.
on account Of their rarity and sweetness.
IN this closely related family the cypri.
pedium is found particularly valuable.
There are not only persistence sweetness
and curious features in the forms aud,

can florists to use them without the
necessity OF lavishly stemming them, -

sHosHoNe FALLS.
Phenomena Which Give Rise to stories
= About This Wonderland.

Phenomena Which Give Rise to stories
= About This Wonderland.
Strange stories are told Of phenomena
that appear at the ShOshone falls. Some
times when the air is perfectly still the
spray arises several hundred feet above
the walls of the canyon and can be seen
on the plains at q considerable distance.
Then for days and weeks at time there
is scarcely any spray at all. Often the
whole canyon around the falls will be
filled with spray, and every bark and
rock will drip with moisture. Again it
will be as clear as q frosty night under
the same conditions from influences that
no one has been able to discover or ex-
plain.
Often above the monotone of the fall
ing waters weird sounds may be heard
unlike any that were ever named and
can be compared to no other, and again
from time to time sudden throbbing
is audible, measured by regular inter-
walls, like the beating Of human pulse.
These, too, proceed from no apparent
cause, and science has been unable to
solve their MYSTERY.
At the crest Of the highest rock i'll the
center Of the Shoshone falls is the nest of
an eagle, and for 81 years the same bird
has come regularly on the 26th, 27th
or 2Sth of March to repair and reoccu-
py 1t and raise brood Of young. Char.
lev Walgomet first noticed her when he
located here in 1860. The nest was
standing then, and as long as he lived
there, until five years ago, he kept n
record of her temperance She never
varied more than three days in her ar.
rival. Since his time the record has
been kept by others, who testify to the
same regularity.
The spray from the falls carries a
sediment which olings like frost to the
windows Of the little hotel and can be
scraped off with q knife. Mr.. Keller,
who keeps the place, says that they
clean the glass every spring by laying
the sashes fat and pouring upon them q
solution Of vinegar and salt. After they
have soaked for three or four days the
coating can DO wiped off with cloth,
but in few weeks the glass ID covered
again, as If it was frosted. The scrapings
look like the dust Of lime. The same
sediment ciings to the leaves of the
trees and vegetables that are grown
around the place and can be scraped OF
the rocks and the face Of the bare clay.

FASCINATION BY .SNAKES.
The Tongue Play OF the Reptiles Lure
Tor Their Prey.

The pheasants which formed the sub
iects of the following observations were
hatched out in an incubator from eggs
kindly given me by Sir Cecil Miles.
The eggs were taken from the hen ami
transferred to the incubator few days
before the young birds were due TO
emerge, -,-,.
Two pheasants were matched out at
about p. N. That evening, at about
$50, finely chopped egg was placed b
fore them, but they showed no signs Of
pccking at ID, nor did they peck at
grain or sand next morning at II a N.
At p. M, they began to peck. but seiz-
ed very little. One struck repeatedly ct
q crumb OF egg on the others back, but
failed to seize it, though The other bird
was quite still. 81
The little birds showed no signs Of
fear of me. They liked to nestle in my
warm hand. Ny fox terrier was keen 30
get at them. much keener than with
chicks. probably through scent sugges-
ton. placed two of the young phess,
ants. about d day old, ON the floor and
let him smell them, under strict ordexa
not to touch them. He was trembling
in every limb from excitement Bot
they showed no signs of fear, though
bis nose was within an inch Of them.
When the pheasants were week old,
procured q large blindworm and placed
1t In front Of the incubator drawer La
which the birds slept at night. On OPEN
ing the drawer they jumped out.as usu
al and ran over the blindworm without
taking any notice of it. Presently first
one. then another. pecked vigorously ut
the forked tongue as 1t played in and
out of tho blindworm's mouth. Sabse-
quently they pecked at its eye and the
end Of its tail.
This observation naturally leads one
to surmise that the constant tongue play
in snakes may act as a lure for young
and inexperienced birds, and that soma
