Would cause great discomfort and loss,
but fortunately it is seldom known. A
vast amount OF misery is caused at this
season, however, by Impoverished blood,
poor appetite and general debility. These
conditions may be remedied by enrich
ing the blood aud toning the stomach
with Hoods Sarsaparilla. This medi-
cine seems t. put new life into the
whole physical system, simply because
of its wonderful power to purify, enrich
and vitalize the blood, create an appetite
and invigorate the digestive functions.
We advise you to get a bottle aud try it
il you are not feeling just right. 1t will
do you more good than six weeks vaca-
ton. 1t is the best medicine money can
buy.

PEACHES AND PEARS.

The June Drop Was Light ana the
Harm Done by the Yellows IS Not
Gtsat-Frult Likely to be Of Good
Flay0r.
!, y. Mills, special agent ior the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington &, Baltimore Railroad
has compiled his annual estimate Of the
peach and pear crop Of the Maryland ard
Delaware Peninsula for the season Of 1900.
His report is very gratifying and there
is every indication that this years crop
will be larger and the fruit Of tet ter
flavor than any season for the rast
ten years.
The yellows, which have played such
havoc in the orchards, especially in the
northern portion of the Peninsula, in
previous years, have almost entirely dis
appeared, and the small knotty fruit,
which has done so much to ruin the price
OF good fruit in past years, will not be
seen this year.
The June drop was unusually light, and
instead Of doing harm, lessened the weight
Of fruit upon the branches Of the trees
which, in many cases were in danger Of
breaking.
Special Agent Mills places the crop Of
peachers at 4,034, s45 baskets, and the
Keiffer pear crop at 432, 24l baskets.

MONOPOLY IN CAMPHoR GUM.
The Entire Trade of the World Is Now In the Hands of 6 Strong
 Syndicate.

Within year the csmphor trade of the world has become d monopoly. The trees which yield this fragrant and useful gum are to be found all over Asia and the East Indies. but the principal production from them is co-li.ld to the island of Formosa Mh.ca belongs to Japan. China was never able to furnish more than 200. COG pounds a year and Japan now pro ducts about 300,0O0, But Formosas annual output' for several years past has been between 6f20C1l and 7.G00. 0c0 pounds. Little is to be had al present from any other source and there is no prospect of any change in the situation for long time to come, sals ,Ee New York Tribune

DIVORCE IS TOO COMMON.
The Courts of England Are Granting Them More Than Ever
 Before,

Official figures show that the di- vorce court in England was not near ly so busy in 1898 as it had been in 1897 In the latter year 5S3 and in 1898 43 marriages were dissolved. IL is worthy of note that over 65 per cent. of the petitions presented to the divorce court had reference to marriages of from five to twenty years standing The majority of all the petitions presented were from husbands, but of those relating to marriages of 20 and more years dura tion the larger number were from wives. An interesting feature of the figures of the English divorce court indicates the auspices under which the marriages it was in 1898 asked to annul were celebrated About 70 Der cent are to be credited to the estab- lished church, about eight per cent. 10 other denominat tions and about 20 per cent. to the registry offices. The fact that two-titths of all the mar riages dissolved were childless leads to the reflection that absence of chil dren from the freside tends to the dissolution of the marriage tie. There is no doubt that the presence of children is source of strength to the matrimonial bond. because it adds unspeakably to the happiness of the married couple

 Dr. l.. : Hughes, who was stationed at Caibarien. and Dr. Shelly. whose work was at Matanzas, made similar reports but all agreed that the facts that he troops from Cuba looked well and that the rate of mortality is low 60 noi indicate that Cuba is desir- able place as q permanent 'resideuca for people from tine north With proper care and attention to the rules of diet and mode of life laid down by the army surgeons, they say, men may thrive in Cuba for year or two, but after that time they will become thin b'oUded and malarlal and 1t will be- come more difficult for them to throw off the native levers For that reason nearly all physicians advocate the sys- tenn by which troops may be returned to the north after being on the island F CT Is months having their places taken by men fresh from more tenn peldte climate
 In proof of the assertion that army methods do much to avert disease at the Cuban military stations, surgeons point to the fact that at all the posts the rate of mortality among the ns- tiNes Is much in excess of that among the soldiers and wherever post has been establishd the general health be comes improved

Element. of Chinese Disturbance.

Long travel through many countries has made it clear to my mind that there are three things which have wrought ruin in those foreign lands wherein honest trade could be built up by hon est men. These are whisky, an en- forced civilization, and 8 false use of the Bible. By whisky, Imean the intro duction into such countries as China. Japan and the South Sea islands, of the manufacture of rum and its insiCi ous, fascinating and ruinous effects on the natives. By civilization, mean the introduction of such methods as are wholly unnecessary to an already civ ilized people, such as change in dress, fashions, and other hybrid social GUS toms. By the Bible-and l would say nothing against the good book-l mean the introduction of cant by unprinci- pied hypocrites, whose only aim in at tempting to spread the Gospel has been their personal gain Robert Mackay, in, Success.

When the outside interference which is now inevitable shall have removed or modified the existing bars to trade China wifi leave Japan far behind from the industrial standpoint The Chinese are as remarkable for their commercial morality as the Japanese are for the opposite; they are more solid, better balanced, take longer views, and are in short more merchants and less ped Glers than the same class in Japan, an5 he natural resources of their i'm men country are such as Japan can not hope 10 compete with, poor as she is in mineral wealth and subject to the most disastrous natNral eonvulsions.

 At any rate the impression is per mancnt the image is clear and dis tinct, and the skin is not made a negative, but really sort of sensi- tized paper.

Ru..i.. Way of Raising Money

The recent increase in Russia of all duties on imported goods is des- tined to pay for the Chinese expe- dition. Thus, says the Vienna Frem- denblatt, Russia defrays the expense of the alliance war out of the pocll- cts of the allies. The cotton goods of England and Germany. the jewels and the wine of France. the prod, ucts of America. Italy and Austria must make it possible for Russia to fight side to side with England. Germany, France, America, Italy and Austria, Perhaps the high duties will still remain when the last Boxer has yielded to the international forces. So Russia will be a winner, anyway, Wise Mir Witte

On the night of August 12, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, after north eastern Kansas had been sweltering without rain for over 20 days. the creeks were drying up and the farm CTS were beginning to grumble about a drought" a big black cloud loomed up over the northern horizon. Horton was treated to a display of electrical fireworks and then the wind began to blow A lull followed and Horton went to sleep At about one o'clock people living along the creek south ot town found water suddenly rising on the bedroom floors and in one instance a man ear ried his wife through the water waist deep to high ground The dam which held the town water supply gave way; bridges and culverts were swept out.
