Clayton, Del, July S-The following
estimate OF the peach crop OF the Mary
land and Delaware peninsula along the
lines OF the railroad operated by the Della
ware division OF the r., b. and W. r.. r.
has been given out by l. N. Mills, special
agent:
Delaware railroad from Wilmington to
Delmar, $4,000 basKets.
Queen Anne's and Kent railroad. from
Townsend TO Centreville Gi, ,025 baskets.

lSc,s.

kets.
Total 1918 baskets OF pears.
Both Crops Almost a Failure.
Il win be seen from the above that not
! Only the peach crop. but the Kelner pear
crop as weil will b. almost total fail
ure. This is no surprise as IL was Rener-
ally understood that the severe frosts
of the early spring killed the buds. The
bulk cf the peaches will be OF the later
varieties and these WILL no doubt, net the
growers considerable money
The principal shipping points win be
Wyoming, Woodside FELTON, and Bridge
vile, on the Delaware railroad: Mnnngton
and sudlersylllc, on the Queen Anne's and
Kent railroad; Kennedyville and Still Pond
on the Baltimore and Delaware Bay rail-
road; kenton, Marydel and Ridgeiy. On

In tie year 1876, according to Mr.. Mills.
there were carried over the Delaware di-
vision over 100000 baskets Of peaches OF
these New Castle county shipped the ma
jority. on May IS OF that year the mercury
dropped 10 26 degrees ait Middletown, md
the trees were IN fun bloom all the first
buds were killed. The trees. however, put
out egain, and the crop was the largest
ever shipped. These trees never bore again
as the exertion to bear the second crop OF
blossoms exhausted the trees

Informed that the operation would
perhaps be necessary, his holiness be-
gan to inquire about It. Turaing to
DR.. Lapponi with his usual familiar
ity. he asked: "Will It be painful? Re
member. l cannot stand much pain. "
Instead of DR.. Lapponi. Or. Mazzoni
answered: Il can assure your holiness
that you viii feel no pain A little
cocaine will deaden all sensation. "
Pope Leo retorted ct once: "Remem-
Der. you said the same thing when
you extracted that cyst few years
ago" DR.. Mazzoni replied: THAT op-
crAtion went very well. but this can
hardly be called an operation The
pope then concluded "Then do what
ever you think best"
When the operation took place no
body was allowed IN the room beside
the doctors except Pope Leos valet,
Pho Centra; even his nephew. Count
Camille Pecci left the room to await
with extreme anxiety In an adjoining
hall the result The doctors, desiring
strong light, had the window widely
opened. but as It faces the bed the
light offended the weak eyes Of the
pontiff. so that Il was thought desir.
able that he should reverse his posi-
ton. AS soon as this was proposed
the pope himself made a movement
showing again that spirit of activity
and determination which seems con.
stantly to inspire him. Dr. Mazzoni
however. did not give him time to
leave the bed but, taking him in his
arms, literally turned the pontin
about Pope Leo smiled and exclaim
cd: "Bravo. professor. l congratulate
YOU Although l have become SC
light. must still be rather heavy"
Both the doctors laughed and were
at the same time astonished at the
brightness of the pontiff when op
pressed by such a dangerous illnesi
and on the point Of undergoing a sur
gical operation for the extreme neces
sity Of his life
Pope Leo remained sitting up II
bed during the whole time Of the op
GRAFTON without need OF support H'
went through the whole affair with
out emitting the slightest lament an5
without showing any feeling OF pain
He was extremely pale. almost dia
phanous and somewhat tremulous. AS
soon as the operation was closed hi.
holiness felt much relieved His eye
from an expression of languid melan
choly, assumed its usual vivacity. II
Eliminating the emaciated face. DR.
Mazzoni at once administered a cor
dial. which the pontiff took willingly
thanking him with a grateful look fol
the brave struggle to preserve his
life.
After half an hours peaceful and ap
parently refreshing repose the pom
tin awoke and inquired about the doc
tors. Hearing they were in the mex
room, he said: Il thought they hat
gone. What do they stay here for
What are they plotting?" Dr. Lap
poni. re-entering the room, said:
I'VE were preparing bulletins re
garding the operation, saying il wal
successful IN all respects" Or. Maz
Eoni added: I'VE must inform the pub
lie, which is waiting with such tropl
dation. especially as it is so easy t,
have inexact news spread"
VERY well, replied his holiness, "

and meditated on that Of last night"

CONSUMPTION

Sal: pork IS a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. eat plenty of
pork . was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the cOnsumPtive needs
most.
Scots Enaulsionis themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites In SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
