CULTURE OF PLUMs.
Much Revenue From This Source to
Smyrna Farmers.
special to The sun.

Special to The sun.
Smyrna, Del, July 12.-Plum culture
is receiving much attention in this neigh
borhood. Some farmers are giving it as
much attention as they paid to peach
cultivation. For several years, the farm
eTs who had pulled up their peach trees
have been cultiyating plums; and DOW,
plums exceed peaches in acreage, and
promises to be source of considerable
revenue to the growers. A conservative
estimate of the crop in this neighborhood
is from 100000 to 100000 five-pound
packages. Abundance, Burbank and
Willard are the principal varieties. The
last named variety is being shipped now.

And so these Bryanites want us to go

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only onesway to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rumbling sound ur
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-.
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be. taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for anv case of deafness (caused BY
catarrb) that eau not be cured by HalPt

KING JOHN AND TIE ABBESS.
AN OLD WORLD STORY WITH A
NEW WORLD MORAL.

The story carries us back to feudal
times and has been cleverly done into
verse:
King John and the Abbess Ana
Walked in the garden one day
When he cunningly sought to prove her
And all of her nuns in gray"
Good Mother" said the king, you
are shut in here in solitude and peace.
But tell me, do the waves of worldli-
ness which break against the high con-
vent wall send no dash of spray above
its top? Are there no dreams of love
or ambition that creep past all your
convent guards and nest in these
maiden hearts?"
"Just then, high over the garden
There flew to the wide free land
A bird, and the AbbesS Ana
Followed its flight with her hand"
I'VE cannot hinder the passing
. OF the wild winged bird o'erhead,
But well we can keep it from building
Its nest in the garden" she said.
A wise woman was the Abbess Ana.
No walls can shut the human heart
away from thoughts which are born Of
Its very humanity? But no evil
thought can dwell and breed in the
human heart unless it's presence is
tolerated and encouraged. So much
for the old world story. Now for
The New World Moral.

There's a great deal of talk about

is made from food. Blood is the life
fluid, but that life fluid depends on food
for the elements wherewith the vigor
and vitality of the body are sustained.
For this reason Golden Medical Dis
covery' has a wonderful effect III in
creasing the quantity and improving
the quality of the blood, because 1t
