A Way to Grow Wise.

Most boys and girls are fond Of good
books but many of them, when they
have read volume through, toss it
quickly aside, and without giving a
second thought to the contents of it's
pages, hasten away in search of some
new entertainments.
I want to give a bit of advice on
this subject Of reading, which l hope
some of my readers will follow.
You all wish to become intelligent
and we'll informed men and women ;
it is for this end that we all learn to
read. But to succeed in our ambi
tion We must not only know how to
read, but how to make use of what we
read.
The writings of all the learned men
in the world could not make us wise
if our minds were not trained to think,
reason and remember.
So here is my advice. After read
ing a book or article, give two or
three minutes quiet thought on the
subject; sec how much of it you can
remember, and if there were any new
ideas, instructive facts or interesting
points that attracted your attention,
force yourself to recall them. 1t may
be little troublesome at first, but
the very effort to think it all out will
engravc the facts deeply on the mem
ory so deeply that they will not be
effaced by the rushing in Of new and
different set of ideas.
Form the good habit Of reviewing
what has just been read. 1t exercises
and disciplincs the mental faculties,
strengthens the memory and teaches
concentration of thought. You will
soon learn in this way to think and
reason intclligently, and to separate
and classify different kinds of infor-
nation.
Now, shut your eyes and sec if YOU
can remember my advice,-,N. Ntch-
nLuS.

A medical journal says that in
the continued use Of the eyes in such
work as sewing, typcsctting, bookkeep-
ing, reading and stud ying, the saving
point is looking up from the work at
short intervals and looking around the
room. This may be practiced every
ten or fifteen minutes. This relieves
the muscular tension, rests the eyes
and makes the blood supply much
better.

A MYsrERIoUs CASE.
James O'Donneil Found Unconscious With
His Head Badly Cut.


James O'Donnell, a man between go
and 70 years of age, is at the Delaware
Hospital with his head badly cut, but
how he came by his injuries he is unable
to tell. Late Thursday night the police
found O'Donnell lying unconscious on the
coast" and the first impulse was that he
had been assaulted and probable robbed.
A patrol wagon was summoned and the
old man was removed to the police station,
where DR.. Hughes was summoned and
dressed his injuries. After receiving at
tention at the station house O'Donnell
was taken to the Delaware Hospital,
where he was reported to be doing we'll
this morning. The injuries sustained are
not of serious nature, and it is thought
the patient will recover.
The police think that O'Donnell was
assaulted and probably robbed. The in.
jured man could not give any informa-
ton concerning his trouble. When he
came to his senses he told the officers that
yesterday he drew some money from
banking institution and in the afternoon
he fell in with number of young men
who represented themselves to be resi-
dents of Chester. He claims to have had
q good time with them--at his own ex-
pense. He knows nothing of what be-
came of them, however, and he cannot
say positively whether he was robbed or
not, for he did not keep any record of his
money while he was with the men. He
knew he was spending 1t freely, but just
how much he spent he could not tell.
When he was taken to the station house
he had small amount of money with
him, which leads the police to believe
that robbery was not committed.

PEACH CROP m THE SOUTH.

representative Joils of Middletown Talks
About the Southern Peach The Crop n
Good One and Fair Prices Realized.
Special Correspondence Of Gazette and journal
Middletown, Aug. Representative
John W. Jolls yesterday returned from
the South where he has been for the
past two months in the interest of one
OF the largest commission firms in New
York City His business was to buy
peaches for the firm and superintend
their shipment.
Mr. Jolls states that the peach crop
in the South this year was good one,
and that as rule very fair prices were
realized by the growers.
These peaches are shipped in cases
holding 81 quarts, and the greatest care
is taken in their picking and prepar-
ing for shipment. 1t is necessary to
handle the fruit three or four different
times before it is ready to be sent
away, and in order to preserve the
fruit properly it requires two-thirds
the quantity of ice as of fruit. In
other words, 90 carloads of ice is re-
quired to ship 80 car loads Of peaches,
and 1t is readily seen that shipping
peaches from the South to the North
ern markets is very expensive, not
to say difficult undertaking. On trip
from Georgia to New York City itlis
necessary to replenish the ice three diff
ferent times en- route, and il the commits
sion firm does not wish to dispose of
the fruit Immediately upon its arrival
it can replenish the ice once more, and
keep the goods until the time comes
to put ii on the market
Mr.. Jolls says the person who claims
that Southern peaches do not have the
natural favor do not know what they
are talking about. OF course the true
flavor is not always found by Northern
buyers after the fruit has been pulled
for several days, but in the orchards
the Southern peach is as lucious and
wholesome as can be found anywhere.
There is probably no man in Delaware
who has more thorough knowledge of
peaches and all that pertains to them,
than has Mr.. Jolls, and his mere state
ment as to the quality Of the Southern
peach will be readily taken by any
who may have been previously skepti-
cal regarding the same.
AS to the peach outlook in this State
Mr.. Jolls is uncertain. There is no
doubt but that there will be fair
crop, but it is feared that the loss by
the fruit prematuring will be greater
than was anticipated. II is stated that
in some of the Maryland orchardsthe
fruit is prematuring fast, and that the
growers are greatly disappointed with
the present outlook.

OF CHRISTIAN ENOEAVOR INTEREST.

August 4th-Christian Endeavor top
ic, "Our Promised Land, and How to
Reach it." Rev. 81: II, 1921.
The place is not only promised
it is also a prepared place, and to
reach IL Christians must claim Gods
promises. A promise is of no avail if
we do not believe it. An inheritance
of no value If we do not claim it. Let
us Believe, and keep on believing. "
"Mr. Kohlsaat's generous offer of
SIS. 600 to the United Society of Chris
tian Endeavor if it would remove its
headquarters to Chicago was not de-
clined because it was not appreciated,
but because to depart from the modest
and quiet policy of the past would be
most unwise in the opinion Of all the
friends of the movement. The United
Society, it cannot DE too often re-
peated, is simply bureau Of informa-
tion. III is not vast organization
that needs large buildings an dspacious
accommodations and great sums Of
money for its work. 1t spends but
about Sl2, 600 year, and all Of this it
earns, receiving no penny Of contribu-
ton from any one. With this sum it
conducts very large correspondence
with Endeavorers in all parts of the
world; translates, publishes, and freely
circulates the constitution and other
literature in scores of languages; and
attends to its limited functions and
duties promptly and faithfully. The
very genius of Christian Endeavor pre-
vents it from doing or being other
than this; and on these simple lines so
providentially blessed in the past, it
proposes TO advance in the future.
The kind proposal of the Chicago mil
lionaire, while it was most heartily APP
preciated, was unanimously declined by
the trustees; the Chicago members of
the board being as emphatic as any
others in their opinion that any radi-
cal departure from the methods which
God has so distinctly honored is I'M
necessary and unwise. "

Bids on Plans for the Proposed Annex
oeived Thursday.


oeived Thursday.
The monthly meeting Of the Trustees
of the Diamond State Hospital for the
Farnhurst Thursday, with all the mem
bers present
Superintendent Eancker reported
that he had advertised for plans and
specifications for the proposed addition
building when complete not to exceed
S3l, coo. Proposals were received from
Westray Ladd and NJ. II. Dickinson,
both Philadelphia architects.
Mr.. Ladd submitted his plans and
explained them to the board. They
call for "a sleeping rooms on each floor,
bricks, which the trustees thought
should be used. The new building will
be used for keeping the violent patients
and the trustees were of the opin-
ion that glazed brick walls are the only
kind that will serve the purpose.
1t is proposed to make the building
two stories in height, and Mr.. Ladd's
plans will accordingly make provision
for GO patients
At 80 o'clock the board adjourned
for dinner, with the understanding
that Mr.. Dickinson would have hear
ing when they reconvened.
A committee which was appointed
at the last meeting reported that a
building owned by the trustees at
Georgetown had been leased to the
Poor Trustees of Sussex county at an
annual rental OF S1S. The report was
accepted and the committee authorized
to have the building insured
At the afternoon session plans drawn
by II. NJ. Dickinson Of Philadelphia were
adopted. They call for the erection of
three three-story buildings similar in
appearance to the present building and
to the west of it. 1t is estimated that
the cost will not exceed 1872, 500, which
will include glazed brick walls in the
cells, or wards. The new quarters
will be for the noisy patients, and the
idea is to have the walls and floors in
destructible.
Bids for the construction of the new
buildings will be opened at noon on
August 10th. II is the intention of
the trustees to have the work COM
mence as soon as practicable and have
the buildings completed as early as
possible.
Superintendent Hancker reported
that the population of the institution
consists of 141 males and log females.
Nine persons were admitted and three
discharged during July. The receipts
amounted to S314 so, and the disburse-
ments from the superintendent fund
aggregated S123. so.

YOUNG WOMAN SHOOTS A BOY.
A Killing That Creates Sensation In High
Social Circles and Among Coiored PeopIe.

- httthE thHh ttcAtes senHhttOu IN High
Social Circles and Among Coiored People.
Washington, Aug 2. Miss Elizabeth
Flagler, daughter of Gen. Flagler,
Chief of Ordinance of the army and
well known in army and society circles,
shot and killed a 14-years- negro boy
named Ernest Green to-day at her
home in the suburbs of the city. The
Flaglers and other families have been
annoyed greatly of late by boys stealing
their fruit and damaging the trees of
their gardens. To-day Miss Flagler
discovered young Green ON the fence
stealing fruit, and fired at him from
the second story window. Tho bullet
entered his right breast, and passing
through his body inflicting a wound
that caused death in short time.
Miss Flagler went to police head
quarters and gave herself into custody.
She is % years old and an attractive
and accomplished woman. Ernest
Green is son of Dick Green, well
known to public men as one Of Secre-
tary Carlisle's messengers.
A coroner's jury was empanelled this
afternoon and an inquest held. The
boys who were with Green at the time
of the shooting, servant in the house,
and others were called in to testify. II
seemed impossible to ascertain abso-
lutely which shot had killed the boy,
although the testimony, indicated it
was the first. Miss Flagler was called
to the witness stand and made state
ment. Her testimony was clear ex-
position of the circumstances of the
tragedy. The jury exonerated Miss
Flagler and she was discharged.
Dissatisfaction was expressed by the
colored. people in waiting when the
result Of the inquest was made known.
There was little outspoken comment,
but among the colored people mutter-
ings of discomfort at the result showed
the sentiment Of disapproval. There is
some talk of bringing the matter before
the grand Jury. desnite the verdict.
