Poor Fruit Crops Expected.

Generally poor condition of fruit
throughout the country is announced
in the agricultural department report
just published. Apples declined iu
conitIon from II to 64.6 during June.
Prospects for excellent crops still
continue in New England, New York
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Iowa.
Conditions are also very fair in Ne
braska and several of the mountain
states. In other parts Of the country
the condition of the crop is faI below
the average, being lowest in the At
lantic coast states, where percentages
are generally below 80. In the Ohio
valley and certain of the western
states the figures are somewhat high
er, but nowhere above 67, which is
the percentage returned from Illinois
and Missouri.
The peach crop promises to be OF
good proportions. During the past
month fall OF l29 points has taken
place, leaving the general average
now Sis. Good crops ale expected
in Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Mich
igan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Missouri aud Kansas. The crop has
suffered considerably in California,
as is shown by condition of 70,
which is lower than any July condi-
ton in the state since 1890. In New
Jersey the fruit IS falling badly. The
Connecticut and New York orchards
promise little fruit, and in Pennsyl-
vania the condition is no better than
in New Jersey, standing at 81.
In the European countries through
out last month the conditions were
highly favorable to growing grain.

PROGRESS In SURGERY.
How to Conceal the Loss Of q
Finger Completely.


Surgeons can now remove an entire
finger so deftly that the loss can scarce
ly be detected.
This is the result of q new surgery,
whose exponent, according to the New
York Journal, is DIR. James w. Maiser.
He claims that the scalpel should be so
cleverly used in the amputation of fin
gers that even that old friend, casual
observer, would not notice that any
thing was missing.
1t is the aim of this new method TO
repair as rapidly and with as little pain
as possible any injury to the human
form, and then to replace nature. 1t has
always been the practice of surgeons
in amputating thumb. or finger to re-
move as little as possible Of the injured
member. Instead of doing this, dis
ciples of the new idea will try to COM
pletely hide the fact that there has been
any amputation. DR.. Maiser has just
completed series OF experiments as to
the best ways Of treating amputation OF
the hand or any portion thereof, and as
result has arrived at the conclusion
that hand surgery in the past has been
sadly neglected.
There always has been natural ten
dency on the part Of persons who have
received an injury to value the hurt in
proportion to the size Of the injured
member, and they will go with cheer
full confidence to the nearest DOCTORS
sign for relief If the injury happens to
be "only a finger" Many young doc
tor, fresh from college, has much the
same opinion as had well-known and
celebrated oculist, who, in his later
days, after he had become famous, ac-
knowledged to having spoiled a bushel
OF eyes" in acquiring his phenomenal
skill.
When the amputation Of a finger is
necessary the predominating idea must
b., in the opinion Of DR.. Maiser, to cover
the stump with flesh from the palmar
side. Itwas formerly the rule that sur
geons should save every possible frac-
tiop Of an inch Of finger, but they are
now beginning to believe that useful
ness and not length should determine

the snake few times awaiting favor
able opportunity. When it came there
was quick bound and the sharp hoofs
of the antelope came down with deadly
effect on the body of the snake. With
movements as rapid as thought the
antelope jumped out of danger only to
spring back on its victim again and
again until the body Of the snake was
cut into mincemeat.
Old hunters say that it was rarely
that an antelope was bitten in such an
encounter with a rattler, and the snake
was always killed unless it found a con-
venient prairie dogs hole into which it
could srawl. The sharp hoofs of the
antelope cut like knives, and after being
struck once or twice the reptile was
too badly injured to offer any effective
resistance.

Noah and the Caterpillar.

Mr.. EDITOR: And so your Lon
donderry correspondent don't believe
that Noah took them into the ark.
Well that is quite sensible conclu-
sion bnt rather rough on the l.ible
idea that everything was finished in
six days and pronounced good.
There is another thought, and it is
appalling: If creation is still going
on why may we not fear that some
fine day some huge monster may not
be erected and have as much enmity
againstus as: we have against the cat
erpyllars. just think of such mon
ster setting his foot upon us, as we
do Gods caterpillars, and leaving
only grease spot.
Your correspondents geological
ideas are away off. One would think
from reading her etfusion that during
the food stones foated, along with
the ark, and when the waters subsi-
ded were left on the mountain tops.
Geology teaches, it is true, that
stones were formed under water and
under great pressure from that and
the earth, but not during the time of
any special flood but instead during
thousands of years and their appear
snce on the surface today is owing to
internal conyulslons. 1t also teaches
that the round and worn stones were
made SO by glacial action and that of
running water. No geologist of to-
day finds any evidence in the earth OF
on it of a universal flood, in fact the
theory is rejected by all scientific men.
In regard to the identity of the
writer she is also away off, to use a
vulgar expression she has taken "the
wrong SOW by the ear" He isn't
now nor never was church worker
in any sense whatever but is simply a
thinker and friendly to all Gods
creatures including the
POTATO BUG.
