Farmers of Delaware who for years
have been confronted with the raw
ages of "yellows, " anG "San Jose
Scale, - have now a new disease
added to the list. 1t is known as the
"little peach. - The subject of this
new disease has been discussed for
some time in meetings of orchardists,
but it is mentioned officially in the
biennial report of the State Board
of Agriculture which was read in both
houses of the Legislature. "LitUle
Peach may prove as troublesome as
yellows or San Jose scale in reducing
the Delaware orchards or discOurag-
ing the younger element of peach
growers, but the great Delaware
industry promises to survive this
newer disease as it has overcome the
dreaded scale by systematic and now
very general spraying. "Peach
Yellows" says the State Boards
report, 'has continued its ravages to
some extent, but where diseased
trees have been promptly destroyed
the losses have been no larger than
they were during the previous year
Little peach has been present
to much larger extent than before
Prof. c. A, McCue, horticulturist at
the Delaware Experimement Station,
is familiar with the effects of this
disease in Michigan and has made
a careful inspection of the peach
orchards in Kent county. He says ::
In my inspection, the damage
caused by little peach during the
past season was even greater than
that caused by yellows. 1t is es-
pecialy true of the State from Har-
ringtOn northward the Sussex county
orchards am not so sure of as l
have seen but little of them this
year. AS rough estimate of the
Kent county orchards, l could say
that from 20 to 40 per cent. of the
peach trees showed signs of little
peach.

OF the many interesting machines
employed by the government in its
daily work there may be mentioned
those used for counting and tying
postal cards into small bundles. These
machines are capable of counting 800

and tying them in packages of TWEEN
ty-tive each. In this operation the pa
per is pulled off a drum by two long
fingers which emerge from below, and
another finger dips in vat of mu-

T"!3E G-nMAil CENSOR.
He Wc5 4 Terror TO the Dramatist
Hundred Years Acc.

Hundred Years Ago.
The way the censor worried the Ger.
man dramatiSts of Il century or so ago
is strikingly illustrated by a book on
the censorship i'll Germany published
by DR.. Robert IIeindl at Munich. The
German theater used to be terribly
moral. In 1895 the Viennese censor
laid it down that an engaged couple
ought not to quit the stage separately,
but that they should be accompanied
by an official who should be under
stood to be about to make immediate
arrangements for their marriage. Even
in 1913 misalliances were prohibited
on the Viennese stage, for as the cen
sOr sagely observed, these misfortunes
will occur III real life but they should
not be allowed in the theater.
At Stuttgart the "Iphigenia in Tau
ris' of Goethe was nearly prohibited
because the Greek dress allowed the
actors bare legs to be seen. There
was long dispute over this point, but
at last the censor permitted the play
on condition that the actors wore vel
low tights.
Few would have imagined that the
Viennese censor was so careful of the
morals of the population a hundred
years ago, but DR.. Heindl shows that
not merely political allusions were cen
SOred but that the strictest decorum
of word and of thought was insisted

Haley dismissed, and his own ap-
petite for dinner effectually dispelled
by his report, Winter Joined his aunt.
Should he tell her his suspicious and
their ground? Wasn't he morally
obliged, now, to tell her? She was CO.
guardian with him of the boy, who, he
had no doubt. had been spirited away
by Mercer and his accomplice; and
hadn't she a right to any information
on the matter in his possession?
Reluctantly he admitted that she
did have such right; and, he ad-
mitted further, being man who never
cheated at solitaire, that his object in
keeping the talk of the two men
from her had not been so much the
knew perfectly well were of robuster
fiber than those of most women 20
or 40 years younger than she); no, he
admitted it grimly, he had not so much
spared his aunt as Janet Smith, he
could not bear to direct suspicion to-
ward her. But how could he keep ST.
lent longer? Kicking this question
about in his mind he spoiled the flavor
of his after-dinner cigar, although his
aunt graciously babe him smoke it in
her parlor.
And still Miss Smith had not re-
to have her present when he told his
story to his aunt no. he was not grab
bling at any excuse for delay; II he
could watch that girls face while he
told his story he would-well, he
would have his mind settled one way
or another.
Here the telephone bell rang; the
manager informed Col. Winter that
Mrs. Wigglesworth had returned.
"Wigglesworth? What an extraor-
binary name." cried Mllicent when
the colonel shared his information.
Good old New England name;
know some extremely nice Wiggles-
worths in Boston," Mrs. Winter
amended with touch of hauteur; and,
at this moment, there came a knock
at the door.
There is all the difference in the
world between knocks; a knock as
often as not conveys most uninten-
tional hint in regard to the character
of the one behind the knuckles; and
often, also, the mood of the knocker is
reflected in the sound which he makes.
Were there truth in this, one would
Judge that the person who knocked at

knock was not loud, but almost timid-

she was agitated. for the tapping was
