PEACHES ARE ALL KILLED.
Over Half a Million Dollars VIII
be the Loss in Hampshire,
OTHER FLUlT IS DESTROYED
Not peach Lsft in Berkeley or
Hampshire ccunty-Apples Are
Not Injured.
Not Injured.

There will be no peaches this year.
This seems to be settled beyond the
shadow Of doubt. The cold weather
Of Monday night killed what buds the
freeze Of Sunday night left. Reports
from the county seem to be without
contradiction that there is not a live
peach bud to be found.
Mr. d. Gold Miller, one of the best
authorities in this section, stated that
without doubt all the peaches in the
county had been killed. There are very
few peach orchards left in Berkeley
county as most of the growers have
cut down their orchards.
Word from the Allegheny Orchard
Co, in Hampshire county, is to the eff
feet that every bud in the orchard has
been killed an that there will not be
a peach in that county.
This will be the worst blow that the
peach industry in this section has re-
ceived. There have been spring.
freezes before but never before have
all the buds been killed. The loss to
the growers in Hampshire, where the
peach industry far exceeds the indus
try in this country, will exceed a halt
million dollars. There are many large
orchards in that county and the Miller
Brothers alone had a crop last year
they sold for close onto half mil
lion. Considering that.they represent
only one company it will be seen that
the crop in that county would far ex-
coed the half million mark
In Berkeley county the loss will not
be so great, as there are only a few
orchards Of any size in the county.
PIums Gore Too.
The plums have all been killed and
it is thought that most of the pears
and cherries have been killed. As
the latter are a later fruit it may be
that they were not as far advanced
and that there may yet be a small crop
of pears and cherries.
Apples Are Safe.
Berkeley county orchardists are
more interested in the apple crop and
it is believed that the apple buds
have not been injured. There are
thousands of apples in this county and
most of the orchardists depend entire
ly upon this fruit as a money maker.
This is the apple year in Berkeley
county and as long as the apples are
not killed the fruit growers will not
be losers to any great extent. The
apple crop in this county, it is esti-
mated. will run over half million this
coming fall The loss of this crop
would mean considerable, and would
put a very serious aspect on the fruit
industry here. The growers in the
county who have peaches, also have
apple orchards and the former fruit
was raised only to bring in a little
money until the apples came into
bearing.
Mercury Down to 10.
The thermometer at the residence
of Mr. George w VanMetre, the gov
eminent weather observer, registered
10 degrees above zero this morning.
The indications are that the weather
will be warmer tomorrow, and unless
it gets hot again like it was last week
and we get another freeze there is not
much likelihood that the apple crop
will receive any further injury.

Laundry BAGS.

little essay and said. And Johnnie,
what does Your mother do?'
Oh replied the boy. "she works

Moths.

II seems that moths have certain
years in which they are more abund-
ant, just as locnsts. Women all over
the country complain of these little
pests and many are the methods used
to destroy them. In Il room where
they are very numerous il is a good
idea to close the room after q careful
sweeping and sprinkle the carpet and
every place where they are liable to
he with a solution of gasoline. Use
one gallon of gasoline. six ounces OF
crushed samphor and Il half pint OF
turpcntinc. Close the room ana leave
this way for Il day at least. The odor
will be, strong. though it soon ovap-
crates after the windows and doors
are opened. Frequently the moths
arc in the carpet. SO be sure and
stray it very literally around the
edges.

"Pinkie" Rinos.

Another fad has taken hold of the
women. and it Is the wearing OF
"Pinkie" rings. In New York Ecrc
is an infant industry which is making
these rings. and II Is almost lmpOssi-
Bile To supply the great demand. for
women seemingly are very fond Of
this neat ornament The rings arc
made of silver. the ring portion being
quito small. while the stone is i'm
mcnsc, frequently an inch long. Some
of the rings are carved, while the
stones are oval. On Il prcttily shaped
hand. the "Pinkic" ring is very neat.
The stones mostly used are lapis la
zuli, a Russian stone, and the work is
done 10y Persian jewellers. There are
gold rings, but the silver ones are
really the most fashionable. The Ia.
pts la2uli is not the only stone used
for this purpose. hut one is fortunate
In securing Il ring with such stone.
for 1t indicates the genuine "Pinkic'
ring. This stone turns quite dark I'M
der certain lights. II is claimed few
OF the rings are made alike. for the
manufacturers have long since learned
that many women prefer individual
taste III iowelry. and frequently give
their own orders for bits of jcwclry
TO he made after their own fancy Of
what is beautiful.
In this little Oriental workmanship
women are taking great many jew
els, having them set i'll odd pieces OF
jewelry, so many are furnishing their
own gems for these little rings. Like
most odd pieces of jcwelry, this ring
Is supposed To bring good luck TO the
wearer, and fortunate indeed is she
who possesses one-that seems to be
the luck. even though no more results
from wearing the novelty.

Queer Roads Back To Nature

Oh the western bank of Lake Mag
giorc, in the Swiss Canton of Ticino.
where the River Maggia flows into
the lake, lies the picturesque village
OF Ascona, which has of late become
known as the abode of number of
well meaning persons who are united
In their desire to get back to nature
and whose attempts to reach that de-
sirablc state are us varied as they
are peculiar.
Certain it is that they have select
cd for practicing their doctrines Il
spot of natural beauty. The lake side
here is famous for its magniiicently
wooded high road, between Losonc
and Romeo. close to which Ascona is
situated. Here wonderful panorama
OF mountains and lake reveals itself
The sun shines OH an average $40
days in the year and winter is almost
unknown Ground is cheap. for owing
TO the phyllOXera scourage, the major
ity of the native inhabitants have
abandoned their Improbable pursuit
of vine growing and have emigratcd.
To-day Ascona is populated chiefly by
long haired and bearded strangers.
each of whom has different notion
Of living the simple life and advocates
his system as the only panacea for
physical, psychical and social ills.
The extreme vcgotarians form the
most numerous body of this communi-
~. In addition to vegetable diet they
also consume certain animal products,
such as milk. butter and eggs; here
sy strongly condemned by the fruitar-
ians. who subsist exclusively on pro
ducts of the soil
The former frankly admit that they
have adopted their diet mainly for
reasons of health: but the latter
bring ethical and religious motives TO
bear on their abstinence from all fresh
food. Their prophet is Tolstoi, as far
MS he is allie to agree with him.
a third group consists of the So
called raw fooders. The use of beds
and soap these abhor as conventional
lies. 1t was one of these extremists,
former officer i'll the Austrian
army, who persuaded the wife of the
eX-Archdukc Leopold of Austria to
embrace his creed. thus bringing
about an estrangcment cbetween her
and her husband eliminating in a
legal separation.
Another member of this extremist
"radiatcs life" He wears long
toga shaped garment sandals and no
hat, and has never been known TO
have his hair or beard cut He goes
about with his features weather in
perpetual smile and Invariably car
ries flower.
For a time he lived at the cottage
OF humble artisan, but never paid
anything for board or lodging When
demonstrated with he smiled Tisdain-
fully and admitted it was true that
he had eaten the poor mans byead,
but said he had all along radiatcd life
upon him, which ought to be more
than sufficient reward.
Another type is the orchard man.
In the fall he rents from farmer a
fruit tree. under which he sleeps ana
on the fruits of which he subsists
When the tree is eaten barc he rents
the next tree.
The most peculiar of the mall is a
gentleman known as the Mexican be

Mexico. His view is that 1t is sin
