PROMISING VARIETY OF PEACHES.
Prof. 6. Harold Powell Formerly of Della
ware Writes of Georgia Orchards.

The following letter was received by
Mr.. Charles Barker, of Milford, from
Professor Powell, who was until re-
/ Gently, connected with the Delaware
Experiment Station, but who is now
Assistant Pomologist of the U. S. De-
rartment of Agriculture:
Fort Valley, Ca, July 10, 1902.
Mr.. Charles Barker, Milford, Del.
mailed this morning three speci-
mems of the Hiley peach, one of the
Chinese Cling type, which l thought
you would be interested in seeing.
The variety comes in ahead of Elberta
and after Waddell and Carman. 1t is
very handsome peach, with shipping
qualities nearly equal to Elberta. 1t
is strong bearer, and an open rather
dropping grower. The tree is not as
heavy wooded as Elberta and needs a
little extra feeding. The form is a
little against it, but for this country
and probably wherever the Chinese
Cling group fourishes, it is a very
valuable variety.
Carman is fine peach, but think
it has been overestimated. The skin
is very tender and subject to rot. 1t
has been extensively planted, and [
think good many will be disappoint-
ed in it. The tree is a splendid grow
er and heavy bearer. The fruit is
large and better form than Hiley, but
its tenderness is its weakness.
Waddell is a grand peach. 1t be-
gins to ripen before Carman, is high
in color and of excellent quality. 1t,
also, has fine shipping qualities and is
less susceptible to rot. The tree, like
Hilley is an open rather willowy
grower, but it is most prolific when
given an extra dinner. The peach,
consider, very valuable for early
marketing, and with Hilley is super
ior to any of the old early sorts of the
Hale and Alexander types. Waddell
is medium sized peach.
Mr.. Hale has already shipped over
40 acres of Greensboro, Waddell, Car.
man and Hiley. and will soon begin
on Thurber, Belle and Elberta, the
dry weather bringing them in together.
Probably 40 cars will be shipped
from his orchards in the next two
weeks; and the crop has never been
/ az fine I Wicb fbof eov,,o ~f A. nj.
ware growers could inspect some of
these great orchards here. What Mr..
Hale has accomplished can be seen by
seeing, and yet 1 believe the condi-
tions are as good in Delaware as they
ever were for growing fine peaches.
Some of you Delawareans are keeping
up with modern peach growing, but
the great majority are putting all their
faith In the Lord, and are not helping
it along with fertilizers, pruning, TIL
lage, thinning, &C. Faith without
works--yOu know the rest.
L am here for ten days making some
export shipments of peaches, and send
ing fruit to cold storage under various
conditions, for the department. You
may be interested to know also that
the department is making export ship
ments of summer apples, from Della
ware this year one went out on the 9th
and another goes on the 10th.
Yours with regards,
g. HAROLD POWELL,
Assistant Pomologist.

Modern physiology attributes more
than half of the diseases to which man
is heir to fatigue. Psychologists say
that excessive fatigue is induced by
late hours, immoderate brain work and
bad air, and that men fail to recuper-
ate because they make no effort to
sleep sufficient number of hours.

therefore or fitting back and forth to
springs, appear white clothed figures,
all presenting much the same swathed
outlines, but with great difference in
detail, especially as to waists, where
the ingenuity of many brains have
cOntrived varieties inexpressible.
Fortunately, the extremely inartistic
and ungraceful bagging front with
upper portion compressed and lower
hanging like a pudding bag, is not
obligatory and now and then may be
seen some woman having a womanly
form, who refuses thus to disfgure
herself and adheres to the natural or

baggy waists are a refuge to the thin
and they being by all odds the major
ity, still carry the day.

Lace Goats

are among the smart articles of dress
seen at Saratoga. They appear in diff
ferent sizes from jackets worn as a
finish to the dress, to long examples
or perhaps short, with heightened ends
in front, tails at the back, being also
a feature. A short lace jacket as a
completion to a gown, is much in favor
and the kinds of lace used vary from
thin to heavy. Loose three quarter
lace sacques, some finished with chif-
fOn ruffles, are noticeable in the morn
ing hours or on drives and for evening
or afternoon, coquettish little gar
mehts fall to the waist or below the
hips and for these too, plated ruffles
of chiffon are fashionable. A touch of
Empire styles is sometimes given by
a scarf around the bust or velvet or
rich silk band may be fastened by
large buttons. Some handsome coats
are made in batiste embroidered and
it may be well to note that all lace
coats have thin Innings usually NOUS
seline or very thin taffeta silk.

JOHNSON's EVOLUTION.
ment Promises n Full-Ilown
Political Boss.

Before entering politics for the Sec
able career in the fact that the views
presented in his public utterances were
Numerically opposed to his personal
conduct. For years his theory and
practice were poles apart and were
pointing the finger of scorn at each
other. In his second coming he her
aided himself a reformer, the cham
pion of equal taxation, cheap street
railway fares and clean municipal
government. Already he has adj
.vanced to the position of leader, the
intermediate step between the reform
err and the boss, says the democratic
Detroit Free Press. In this transit
ton state there Is always strange
admixture of the two. Mr.. Johnson
talks reform as eloquently and fer
yently as ever. But to carry on his
great work he must be in control, and
he has quickly acquired this vantage
point Of leadership.
His activities in the state Of Ohio
have been something to marvel at, and
the ease with which he did the work
of commander-in-chief in the prelimi-
naries of the democratic state con-
vention at Sandusky shows how firmly
he Is seated in the saddle. Unless all
presidents fail, the elimination OF
this evolutionary process will be a
political boss. The leader is bound in.
time to create iealousies and encounter
opposition within his own party. No
one can be more logged than Mr..
johnson when combatted. In such n
position he will have to strike with
the mailed hand and issue the orders
of an autocrat. He must have his own
henchmen in power when his party Is
successful, and he must direct legisla-
tion with view to retaining snch SUI
premacy. He will be the disburser of
patronage, giving rewards, infictiDg
pupishments and directing the policy
Of his party. The manifest destiny of
Mr.. Johnson. unless checked in his
career, Is state boss-ship. What Mr..
Johnson thinks is his manifest destiny
Is the presidency Of the United States.
. r5President Roosevelt seems to be
fairly well in touch with public sem
timent wherever he goes, which proves
that public sentiment in this country

by name, took the rich chaps. cat
boat an went sailin'. The actor
didn't know nothin' bout sailin', an
Mcclure knew less. Then, to have
the cheek to take the rich feller's
boat! An such boat!
"The minute we saw 'em start out
we said, There'll be the dickens to
pay! An we were right. There
was.
"Twa'n't more'n an hour before
they was stuck hard an fast over
there in that channel, bout a hun
dred yards from shore. No matter
what they did, they couldn't move.
We saw 'em pushin' an shown an
jerlSin' and wrestlin' with the pile
o. sand they was on, but they match
erly couldn't bulge it. They stayed
there for hours workin', an loafin'
some, I guess. The actor chap an
the girl not half so misabel. as Nc
CURE, as had talked right smart
bout how he could sail boat.
1T seems that pretty soon the girl
begun to get hungry, an then what
does the actor chap do but swim to
shore to get her somethin' to eat.
He hadn't got out o. sight before, as
luck would have it, gust of wind
come long an blew the boat off the
sand into the bay without a bit o.
trouble. Away it goes then sailin',
with that idiot Mcclure at the helm.
BY some sort o. miracle it gets round
the island without no accident, an
comes in here to the buoy, where,
hitchin' it with an old rope he found
somewheres in the cabin, Mcclure
proceeds to wade in in all his clothes
to get the girls bathin' suit, SOS
she could wade in, too.
"Then was the time for the rotten
it. Lord! The big waves comm
swoopin' in didn't do nothin' to that
there cat-boat but lift it straight up
out o. the water, whirl it round n
time or two, havin. fun a-plenty with
it, an the girl inside, screamin', half
dead with fright; then, smashin' the
rudder, breakin' the boom in two an
wrenchin' the sails to strips, they
filings the little boat up here on the
sand to stay, a wreck for life."
"And the grip" I asked. "What
became of her?"
"They took her out o. the cabin
more dead than alive, an carried her
home to her mother"
With that, lapsing into brooding
silence, he pulled away at his pipe.
"Sid," began, timidly, by and by,
when could no longer restrain my
curiosity, (which man did she
marry?"
IF 1 remember right" he replied,
taking the pipe away from his mouth
and blowing the smoke seward,
"they said she had gone off unbe-
knownst to her mother, an married
the actor chap what didn't have a
cent to his name, an no clear pros
pect o. maxim one. Married him, !
reckon, because he never got back to
the boat tall with them provisions
for her."
After time he added, disgustedly:
"But what difference did it make who
she married? Look at the boat!"-

wit Got Hin . Meal.

The genus tramp is not always the
wretch he is frequent
ly depicted. Some are bright in wit
and quick at repartee. A prominent
citizen of Brooklyn, who, though
charitably inclined, has ideas that
charity should not be thoughtlessly
dispensed, was walking the other day
in street where repairs to the as
phalt pavement were going forward
on rather large scale. He was ac-
costed by burly specimen of the
could DART" who said: BOSS, can't
you give me the price of meal?"
"Why don't you go to work?" said
the citizen. "Work, is it?" exclaimed
the burly specimen, casting swift
glance over the street, on which not
blade of green grass was to be
seen. Then, with twinkle in his
bright blue eyes, he asked: DO
you want your asphalt mowed?"
the citizens sense of humor was
stronger than his theories of charity.
He pulled a quarter from his pocket,
left it in the palm of the "burly''
and went his way chuckling.

A great many people have come
west this spring and more are
coming to seek for cheaper land and
better business locations. Many
will remain in the west and succeed
while others will become homesick
and disappointed because they meet
a few obstacles or reverses that they
did not have in an older settled
community. These people forget
that when their fathers went west
it was to endure hardships and pri-
vations beside which their present
troubles are frivolous and trivial.
Any young man who comes west
and acquires a title to quarter
section of good land can succeed il
he only hangs on long enough.
But it ought to be understood that
even in the great and glorious
western country there is no royal
road to get rich quick, any more
than there is in the east.

THE BOER WAR.

After almost three years OF con-
slant fighting, the loss of 300, 900
men and the expenditure of more
than billion dollars Of money,
peace has been declared between
Great Britain and the South Afri-
can republics. The Beers made a
desperate fight for their institu-
tons, and their final submission
to superior force in no wise detracts
from the merits Of their contention
to be let alone in maintaining such
a government as they and their
forefathers had established. Both
republics are now part Of the
British empire. In the peace set
Elements the Beers secure the ex-
penditure of fifteen million dollars
in restocking their FARMS This is
within FIVE million dollars Of what
Uncle Sam paid for the Philippine
islands and all other things which
Spain surrendered at the close Of
our own late war. The exrendi
ture Of this money will still make
market for our western horses ant
mules for use on these farms, SC
that war or peace makes not muci
difference to our people from
business standpoint.

eight weeks had suffered with the
most terrible pains in her back and
could get no relief. He says:

"Idaho" on the streets Of New
York and Pittsburg. It's Idaho"
in Salt Lake and Denver. 1t is
"Idaho" on railroad map and fold
or, and the people Of the over
crowded eastern states are hocking
to "Idaho' by the thousands daily.
Capital is seeking the state and
touching its dead industries with
life. Trains groan with the weight
OF our cattle and sheep, men are
astir, towns are springing into
prominence on every hand, rail-
road construction is under way in
a dozen different directions within
our borders, new mining camps are
being discovered, and the spirit OF
progress is abroad within our con-
fines and its evidences are abroad
everywhere.
The transition state we are now
experiencing is a great time fol-
quick money making. 1t is but a
repetition Of what all other states
have gone through in the process
of development; but in the case o.
Idaho we have a larger field from
which to draw the muscle ant
