mi.soari's Great Fruit Industry.

In direct contradiction of all
prophecy the present condition of the
Missouri peach crop indicates full
scrop in the northern section of the

The reverse has heretofore been the
case, The apple crop will be the larg-

Tshe cherries abundant, grapes and
Strawberries never better. I'VE are

considered, however, the apple is the
7sreat fruit crop of Missouri. Dr. c.
Whitten sent soil from a Missouri
apple orchard in the lowlands Of the
Missouri river to a great German uni

was there pronounced the best
adapted for apple culture of the score
of soils from all quarters of the world.
There are now 20,000.000 growing
fruit trees in Missouri, and four
fifths of the number are apple trees.
The best trees for summer apples,
says the Missouri State Horticultural
Society, are the Early Harvest, Red

EUGENE WOOD ON NIAGARA

1t would be hard to find more hack
neyed subject than Niagara Falls. AL
most every child writes a composition
about them while he is in grammar
school, and every one who has ever seen
them sends home his impressions in a
family letter. It takes great courage
deliberately to cIioose to write about
Niagara, and an unusual form OF genius
to make il wortI. While. Eugene Wood
has done both in the September HcCgure's.
His article is humorous, whimsical, earn
est, end poetic by turns. His descrip-
tion of ones first emotions on beholding
Niagara will appeal to the inherent can
dor OF the Americas mind.
"You are confronting what every one
says is the most wonderful spectacle on
the continent" he writes "You pause,
you shut out from your mental vision the
other men and women that stand beside
you. Yon are alone, you and
your soul, before this scene Of beauty and
magnifcence You harken TO the inward
voice; you listen to what your soul would
say to you.
ST says: M-hm. Very nice. Just ex-
actly like the pictures"
Nevertheless, Eugene Wood has more
to say about the Falls than this; the con-
clusion OF the article is as full Of fforce and
patriotism as the beginning is Of ofhumor.
The account is beautifully illustrated
with fuIl-page color reproductions.

THE BEST SLEEP

When debating tile question, How
much sleep is needed one must keep in
mind that the best sleep, indeed. the
only healthy kind, is that which ore
cannot avoid without q struggle. Il is
the sleep that always follows on weari-
ness it is not that which is obtained by
difficulty. II person slept for three
hours right away and then awoke re-
freshed-that is, with no further inclina-
ton to sleep-he would not then be in
need of it. His proper course would be
TO arise and engage in work. But he
must be prepared to sleep at any time in
the day when the longing occurs To
the latter rule there is one exception.
Let US suppose that one has acquired the
habit Of sleeping half the night and lying
half awake during the remaining half
Such habit can be best broken by rising
after the first sleep and refraining from
nap in the day. When the bed hour
arrives the chances are that the victim
OF Insomnia will be so sleep hungry that
he will not wake until the proper hour
for rising.
In any case it is great mistake to turn
over on the other side and remain in a
half conscious state. Indeed, it is more
serieus mistake than many would believe,
says Home Notes. The brain is now in a
peculiar state, more closely resembling
the hypnotic than would be possible un-
der any other normal conditions. Quite
a lot might be written about the peculiar
dangers and powers of this half waking
state.

TYPHOID FEVER

i Although there is always m6re or less
typhoid fever in most of the larger cities
/ of this country. the late simmer and
autumn are tile seasons whenit is most to
he feared.
The disease is not so formidable, as re-
CARDS the morality, as some Others, but
lis great length and the evil consequences
M iich sometimes Inflow il in the form
OF weak heart. weak spine or nervous
disorders make it quite as serious as some
which are more fatal, but far less pro-
tracted.
1 Unless one knows how the disease is
usually spread one cannot hope TO avoid
| ii. and so it may be useful to consider in
WIlat ways the germs Of the malady find
their way into the system.
Water is the usual vehicle for typhoid
germs, az is well known, and probably all
eIe,t outbreaks OF the disease in cities
are due to an infected water supply.
This has been strikingly shown in Phila-
delphia, where some parts of the city are
supplied with filtered water and others
with unfiltered or mixed water. Com
pairing two parts of the city in which the
conditions, except as to water supply,
are almost the same, it was found that in
theon supplied with filtered water the
occurrence rate of typhoid fever was one
in five Thousand, while in the others in
which the unfitered water was drunk,
it was one in sixteen hundred.
But city with an ideal water supply
may be scouraged with typhoid lever.
although less severely, through the med
ium of impure ice, and it is almost as
important to know where the ice is cut,

as where the city water comes from. Not

SATURDAY NIGHT ROWS

DOVER, DEL, Aug. 25.-Saturday night
rowdyism has troubled the authorities OF
the various towns, and while the disorder
throughout the crowded towns of lower
Delaware was not so great and turbulent
tonight as last week, it was sufficient to
make 1t necessary for conference in
each town over the best means for preserv-
ing peace and good order The larger
towns like Dover and Milford, George
town and Smyrna are free from any
shocking infractions Of the law, but in
the smaller towns, which are oyerrun
with laborers, farm help and factory
operatives who are urged to come here
from far and near, cheap whiskey and
impotent municipal policing both contrib
ute 10 chaotic scenes In the crowds.
When State Treasurer T. N. Rawlins
went into the crowd at Seaford to exer-
else his right as an officer Of the State to
aid in the prevention Of the infraction OF
its laws, several prominent white men,
differing from him in politics endeavnred
to turn the disorderiies upon him. The
State Treasurer, however, stood his
ground until he got the names of she per-
sons who were melting to riot, white and
black, and number Of prosecutions will
probably result.
The town OF Camden, though one of
the busiest in the State on Saturday
nights, having its own bank, fire house
aud other conveniences, has not single
policeman, no capable men being willing
to risk the denting Of their heads or
smashing Of their ribs for paltry two
dollars night.
The strange negroes who congregate in
these towns on Saturday night and the
dissolute white men are absolutely neces.
sary to the commercial and Agricultural
Of the State. Without these
hardy, rugged men the crops, and es-
pecially peaches and tomatoes, tlIe gath
ering of which in the heat is bask-break-
ing and bead-spiitting work, could never
be harvested. When they are through
work for the season there will be no
occasion for extra policing, but until then
a system like the splendid new State con-
of Pennsylvania is badly needed.
