PEACHES

Peaches are raised and nurtured II
all parts Of the country, but il Is gen
orally agreed that the most tempting
kind comes from the blue grass reg
ion OF Kentucky.
California peaches are used largely
by Fasteners. They are sof, and
tender to the touch, rather large and
flowery, and are very sweet.
The New England peach is often
hard and sour Some varieties, how
ever, have a splendid favor The
best preserved peaches come from
New England
The New York peach is always oi
the clingstone variety, 1t is almost
impossible to separate the peach from
the stone.
Our annual crop Of peaches, while
very expensive to raise land con.
stantly growing more SOY, gives EN-
ployment to thousands of men, who
labor night and day to keep the
peaches up to the standard
The points of Each are not under
stood by all. Those who are inter-
ested in their culture should carefully
observe the following rules:
Peaches should be handled with
gloves.
They should never be picked when
green, but only when they begin to
look good enough to eat,
Every peach should be well wrap
ped. Great care, however, should be
taken not to squeeze too hard. The
pressure should be Uniform.
Change the variety from time to
time, and you will be surprised at the
results, Almost any one variety of
peach gets tiresome if INDUCED in too
long.
Peaches should be kept away from
a glaring light, When testing them

MAPS FOR TOURISTS.

Automobile tourists are beginning
TO find the topographic maps OF the
Geological Survey invaluable in lay
ing out routes OF pleasure travel All
public roads, as we'll as all important
private roads are shown 'on these
maps, while the contour lines indieat-
ing the topography and showing the
grades of the roads enable the auto.
mobilist to determine accurately the
character he intends to travel,
These maps are made primarily as
bases for the geologic map Of the
United States which the Geological
Survey is constructing, and the fact
that they can be employed better
than any other maps for nonscien'
tifc purposes such as automobiling,
attests their practical value, though
this is only one of very great num-
Der OF uses to which they are put,
No maps, in fact, are so generally
used as the Surveys topographic
maps. Commercial maps are based
ON them, and score Of bureaus and
departments of the Government use
them as basis for special maps or
plottings, for determining routes Of
march or travel, for planning epgin-
eering works, and for many other like
public purposes,

DAMAGE SUITS FOR ILLNESS.

A SUIT has been brought by clergyman
IN and an editor in Franklin, Pa, to recover
DAMAGES from water company OF that city Tor
illness in the families of the plaintiffs, alleged TO
have been induced by drinking the water sup
nlied bv the company The plaintiffs allege that
members of their families became i'll OF typhoid
fever and they trace the cause Of the fever
70 drinking water furnished by the Nenango
Water Company Much expert testimony will be
heard at the trial and the whole subject OF con-
taminated drinking water and its relation to dis
ease will probably be brought out. Physicians
generally believe that impure water and bad milk
are the most prolific causes OF typhoid.
The suit will be watched with much interest.
Should the plaintiffs recover new line OF dam
age suits would be opened Private owners OF
water companies would be forced to defend dam
age suits for illness, and where the cities own
their own water works the municipalities would
be liable for damages.
The water supply of any city is of vital impor-
tance If it turns out that victims of typhoid or
other disease believed TO be induced by bad
water have redress in damage suits the water au-
thorites, whether private or public, will be
spurred to see that so far as possible the water
of a city shall be free from disease laden germs
And in any event the best possible water should
be supplied The great mass Of citizens are un-
able 10 bear the expense OF purchasing spring
water in addition to paying the tax for water that
a municipality may supply.

CHICAGO CONVENTION DELEGATES.

R EPORTS have been circulated that the Re
AN publican delegates from this State to the
Chicago National Convention will be pledged in
advance to support Senator Knox of Pennsyl-
vania, for the nomination for President. Predc-
tions as to what the State convention will do are
premature The conventions OF the party have
habit Of doing as they please, and those familiar
with Delaware politics know how often the pre-
convention prophecies go astray.
We do not believe, however, that the Delaware
delegates will be instructed for Senator Knox 1t
is highly probable that an unnstructed delegation
will be sent to Chicago. The situation regarding
a Republican candidate for President is "up in
the air. Drifts in sentiment occur rapidly
When the convention meets there may be an en-
tire change in the situation. Certainly no one
can say at present that Senator Knox will get the
Republican delegates from Delaware. Taft has
many friends in this State, Fairbanks has some
Governor Hughes has his admirers, and Senator
Knox undoubtedly has supporters.
And it may be added that in the party there is
a strong Roosevelt sentiment, which may be felt
when the presidential nomination is to be made

GREAT WESTERN REcE1vERsHIP.

IT HE application for a receivership for the
+ Chicago Great Western Railway is a step
that was predicted even before the financial furry
began.
The financing of this railroad has long been the
wonder Of the railway world. The capitalization
outstanding is about 100000 to the mile while
the capitalization of the Northwestern is $4,000
the mile, and that of the St Paul $4,000 mile
No part of this sum has been in mortgage indebt-
edness the only bonds outstanding being deben-
lures against the income. The enforceable lien
consists of $S,5oo,ooo in notes, and the receiver
ship proceedings are based upon the default in
payment of these notes, which are first lien on
the property. The road is worth much more than
the amount of the notes.
The capitalization of the road was based evil

The recent report OF the Secretary Of War shows
how difficult it is to get soldiers to join the army
and as an inducement to recruits he suggests that
