Peach Fellows and Peach Rosette.

Missouri Experiment Station: The
recent discovery by the Experiment
Station of outbreaks of Peach Rosette
in two localities of the leading peach
section OF the state, has prompted the
station to issue for free distribution
among the peach growers an illustrat-
ed pamphlet fully describing this dis
ease and also Peach Fellows, and CIV
ing suggestions for the suppression of
these diseases. They are by far the
most destructive diseases Known
among peaches. In some states the
peach orchards, over large areas, have
become so generally diseased that
peach growing cannot profitably be
carried on there. The symptoms OF
Fellows are premature ripening Of the
fruit, which is unnaturally blotched or
clouded with red, and which is usually
insipid or bitter; general falling off
In vigor Of the tree, small, cup-shaped
leaves, a failure of many Of the winter
buds to start in spring, the presence
Of sprouts and tufts of leaves in the
body of the tree, in early autumn, and
sometimes yellowish, sickly color of
the leaves, from which the disease
takes its name. Any or all of the
above symptoms nay occur, but the
premature ripening of the fruit is us
ually the most prominent. A tree once
attacked by "Yellows" is sure to die
sooner or later, generally within from
three to FIVE years The "Rosette"
usually attacks the tree in the spring,
or In early summer. 1t is characterized
by tufts or rosettes of leaves, which
usually form at the ends of the newer
wood, then along the trunk and main
branches. The tree becomes weaker
and the leaves fewer, until when the
tree dies, the last leaves are usually
those that form in numerous tufts
along the trunk. The "Rosette'' kills
the tree In a single season. Both the
"Yellows" and "Rosette" are slowly.
but surely spreading westward. A few
trees OF the "Rosette" have been found
in Missouri peach orchards and de-
stroyed this season. The only safe
guard against the spread of these dis
eases Is to dig up and burn all trees
that are known to be infected, and
this should be promptly done wherever
the diseases occur. Careful attention
to this matter now will save immense
losses.

Applause for n Heroic Drummer.

A Bangor drummer recently saw a
woman enter the train at North Bucks
port and rush through the car just as
it was getting speedy. He coolly
walked after her, and just before the
fatal leap grasped her firmly to his
manly bosom. She struggled, but he
only frightened his grip. saying: Mad
am. you shan't jump of the car and kill
yourself" When she got her breath
she shrieked. you big fool. was on
ly going out on the platform to wave
my handkerchief to my friends" A
party of Bangor yachtsmen aboard the
train applauded the drummer for his
heroism fully half an hour at intervals

BRAIN CELLS IN FINGER TIPS
Unusual Development of Nerves in the
Fingers az the Blind.

From the Microscope:-The gray
matter brain-cells of perception have
been dissected out OF the finger-tips
of the blind. Standing point up be-
meath all the ridges so plainly seen
with a magnifying glass on the skin
of the inside OF the finger ends are
the so-called corpusces of Pacini,
which are arranged in the exact sem
blance OF the keys of piano, and are
said by Meissner to crepitate and give
forth a different sound in every age
Of each person. This Pacinian cor
puscle, which contains within its lin
ing membranes nerve trunk, an ar
terry and vein, lines all the tactile
surfaces OF the body, particularly the
inner finger and thumb tips. A med
ical man recently assisted in an au-
topsy on a person blind from birth,
and he sought to discover by scalpel
and microscope the secret OF the ex-
traordinary delicate touch the blind
man had acquired during life. Sec
tions perhaps a sixteenth OF an inch
thick were carefully sliced off the in
ner surfaces of the index and middle
fingers of the right hand. Under a
high power these showed, instead of a
single nerve trunk and artery and
vein OF the average man, most COM
pick and delicate ramifications Of nerve
hlaments, dainty and minute nerve
twigs in immense numbers branching
from the main stem. Through con-
slant use the finger tips of the blind
acquire this unusual development,
with more and more perfect perform
I . nnn Of function.

Mr.. Hixon, a tall, pale, close-shaven
young clergyman, sat in his Gothic
study, with a vase of rosebuds before
his sheets of sermon paper, and
stack Of new pens all placed ready for
use. Maj. Clark, short and stout, with
a fringe OF white whiskers around his
rubicund countenance, was smoking a
cigar on the doorstep. Mr.. Hixon
dlsliked the odor of Havanas, and Mai.
Clark despised the rosebuds. But they
were both mildly tolerant of the
others weakness. Maj. Clark had an
idea that IL looked respectable to be
on soc al terms with your clergyman,
and Mr.. Hixon, who had only recent
ly accepted a call 20 Snagtown, de-
pended good deal on Maj. Clark 5

pie and the place.
And, to speak truth, the beautiful,
rose-garlanded parsonage was not al

knew nothing about housekeeping, and
the old woman. who had always man
aged the domestic helm for his prede-
cessor. had just retired from business
on legacy. And the topic which
Maj. Clark and he were discussing at
that espec al moment was how to re-
place Betsey Ann Snedecor.
So. Mr.. Hixon took the majors adj
vice and inserted an advertisement in
the Snagtown Weekly Trumpet The
major gave it to the editor with the
dollar which was to guarantee its
prompt insertion.
And the Snagtown Weekly Trumpet
had not decorated the breakfast table
OF the citizens for half an hour on

when Mr.. Hixon, studying out the
''fifthly" Of his next weeks sermon,
was startled by tap at the door, and

about the 18th. A storm period 9th
to 18th. The moons perigee at this
time is often attended by dangerous
storms. If the high temperature
does not abate by the 18th and 18th
summer heat will become torrid dur
ing a storm period 14th to 18th; look
for dangerous clouds and violent
bluster. : Many sections will get
thunder storms and heavy down pour

and 22nd more storms will develop,
and will turn much warmer. Elec-

July. The last general storm period
for July will fall from the 25th to the
10Th. Look for intense summer heat
during this time, with hot wave

mating in many violent thunder
storms with probable tornadoes about
