Tho State flower of Delaware is the peac
blossom, and this has caused Alfred Hitc
to burst forth into song as follows:l
On the sterile mountains,
Upon the fertile plains,
God has sowIl the flowers
And nonrished them with rains;
Some Of every flavor,
And some OF every hue,
MANY in the Southland
And in the North n few.
But of all the flowers,
There's none that can compare,
With the pink peach blossom
That blooms in Delaware.
Southern Alabama
May have the golden rod
Maine the cone and tassel
' Tint love her Northern Hod;
Western Colorado
The mountain columhine,
And New York the rose that
The poets call divine.
But of all the emhlens
There's none that can compare,
With the pink pouch blossom
That blooms for Delaware,

which is extensively advertised, con-
sisting of straps sewed to belt, the

has the petticoat sewed to the dress
skirt, we'll below the hirs Boil Of
these styles are rather eccentric, ow-
ever, and not to be rashly recon-
mended. The best fitting petticoats
are those almost circular in shape, and
fastened at the side with no wastban6,
only narrow cord to finisL the skirt
in place of a belt, and curved low in
front to slip under the beck on TIE
front of the corset. If extra fulness is
required, it is put directly at tho back
in stitched tucks or pleats. Tht cir
cular flaunce trimmed with ruiIles and
smaller founces is the belt finish,
although the accordion. pleated hounce
is still in fashion.

SHOCKED BY 1000 VOLTS.
A. D. Richardson Narrowly Escaped Death on
Tele phone Pole.

Between two and three thousand volts
of electricity. ordinarily enough TO kill a
man, only burned the fingers Of a. d.
Richardson of the Richmond Telephone
Company, yesterday morning. He re-
ceived the shock while perched on top
Of a telephone pole at Locust Alley and
Main Streets, climbed down unaided, had
the hand dressed and in the afternoon
returned to work. Although extremely
painful, the injury is not in any way dan
gerous.
Richardson was repairing some broken
telephone wires at this point. and was
pulling q broken wire up to him, when
it touched one of the arc light wires In
stant1y the hand which held the telo-
phone wire was partially cooked by the
shock. the injury extending to the bones
of the fingers. The small wire would not
carry tho heavy voltage of the larger
wire, however, and burned in two. It is
probable that only this saved Richard
sons life. He had presence of mind
enough not to touch any other wire. and
Immediately the small wire was de-
stroyed he was relieved.
