A writer in the Prairie Farmer relates
that u drain put down in 1858, OF com
mon fence boards, is still in good condi-
ton, and that Il he had to make short,
deep drain, with plenty Of fall and thor:
ough compact Of yellow clay, he should
certainly use u si1-inch fence board, be-
lieving it would answer every purpose
Of three or four inch drain tile.
Drainage not only deepens the soil
but improves its texture and quality.
The ROOTS OF crops will penetrate only to
the depth ut which the soil is drained.
The land that Is well drained can be
worked sooner after rains and endures
the drought better, while the ground
warns earlier in spring and permits OF
more abundant crops and better tillage.

"Thero is not so much pneumonia
now as there was last month and during
the two preceding ones" said Dr. De
Wolf yesterday. malaria, however, is
on the increase. Pneumonia is caused
principally by the carelessness of people,
who, when they find one spring day like
last Thursday, Immediately change their
clothing. Winter clothing should not
be materially changed in this climate
until good weather has come to stay,
about the middle of May or LIST of June.
Bad drainage undoubtedly produces
malarial diseases, but it is not wei! to
dogmatiXe upon the subject when we re-
member that the death rate from malaria
is very high on the Berkshire hills in
Massachusetts, where drainage scarcely
enters into the consideration OF disease.
TO escape pneumonia people should be
more careful in spring that in winter.
and TO avoid every appearance OF chill
should not change the quantity or quail
ty OF underwear until June"
DR.. W, NJ, TomIinson, also OF the
health Office, said:
"Soft weather, MS it is called, is the
principal cause OF pneumonia. People
expose themselves thoughtlessly, and
when the first fine day appears leave off
their overcoats or change their under
clothing. It is not generally understood,
as it ought to be, that when thaw
comes after severe cold spell we are
much more apt to catch cold than when
the thermometer il down to zero. When
the weather is very cold a man who has
taken exercise and is perspiring may sit
down, even in the open air, with COM
parative immunity from chill, but il it
should be thawing the same man is
apt to catch severe cold. A
process OF evaporation isgoing on in the
iatterFcase, and the body throws off heat
in way which renders one peculiarly
liable to chill. People require warm
clothing more in spring than in winter
on account OF the sudden and dangerous
climatic changes. Cold baths, when
taken regularly and properly, form n
good preventive OF colds and pneumonia.
BY bathing properly is meant that per-
son should remain in the water very
short time, and that more rapid olrcula1
ton should Immediately follow the bath.
Those who cannot take cold bath with
out experiencing u chilled sensation
while dressing and aiterward should not
take cold baths at all"

. LITTLE BREECIIES. F"
How Governor ben Foraker Won TINT Fla
milIar SOubrlquet.

How Governor Ben Foraker Won TINT Fa-
mllInr SOubrlquet.
It was during Ben Foraker's school
boy days that the incident occurred
whose relation in the newspapers years
afterward won for him in his first Guber-
material campaign in 1883 the soubriquet
OF Little Breeches."
One very busy summer when Ben was
eight or nine years old and was going to
summer school his pants gave out.
They had previously been patched by
his industrious mother in the late even
ings after Ben had gone to bed. But
now they had given out beyond the
possibility Of any more patching. e.
The day this happened, while poor,
blushipg Benny was studying at school
and trying us best he could to hide the
rents in his pants his loving mother
was planning and Contriving how she
could rig him out with a new pair.
Her sister, Julia Scott, had come over
that morning to help with the days
work. So Julia Scott and Maggie Fora
ker put their wits together to see what
they could do in the matter Of breeches
for poor Benny.
Haven't you any cloth at all in the
house?" asked Sister-Julia Scott-"no
old thing you could make over-no
nothing?"
mo; nothing but that jeans in the
loom, and have no time TO weave"
"Now, Maggie, Just think" persisted
Ben's sympathizing Aunt Julia, "haven't
you an old bag that we could cut up"
"Why, we bought new sack OF coffee
when the men were coming to fix the
dam. The coffee sack is double, and
the inside sack is pretty good, strong
stuff"
"Get it." said Aunt Julia, land I'll
help you make the breeches. Well
make It do somehow"
That night, when biushing and honest
hearted Benny came home from school,
he was told that he should have new
pair of pants in the morning..
The next morning Ben put them on
with some disappointment in his heart
and countenance.
While his mother was putting up his
dinner for him to carry to school Ben
sided up to her, and, with tears in his
eyes, n tremble in his voice and deep
sorrow in his sensitive soul, said;
Mother, / can't wear these breeches
to school. All the boys and girls will
laugh Mt me"
oh, never mind" said the CHEEKY
voiced mother, kindly hiding q motherly
sympathy that was paining her own
heart. "Never mind. Let EN- laugh il
they want to. You Just study hard, and
when yoH get to be d smart and learned
man nobody will ask what kind OF
breeches you wore when you went to
school,"
So Benny went to school in his coffee
sack brooches and ''let 'em laugh"

Ne,S York Pra. u
Our tariff talk to-day comes from Mr.
Washington Belt Of l06-lOS Reade street
Mr.. Belt has made q study of the wool
question, and is thoroughly conversant
with the facts about wool growing in
this country.
"There are" said he to the tariff
talker, 100000 wool growers in the
United States, who employ 100000 men.
These 100000 own on an average 100
acres Of land apiece, making total OF
ll2,OO0,OOO acres. The more desirable
parts Of the land are devoted to agricul-
tural, while the sheep Craze on the
rougher and billy portions.
"rhere are 50,000,000 sheep in the
United States. The yearly crop is $780,
100000 pounds, worth at % cents, ST.
100000.
"There are sold for mutton every year
about 100000 sheep, worth, at s. a
head, $45, 100000. Total value OF wool
and mutton yearly, $l22, 100000.
'If the Mills bill passes the wool BUSH
ness dies, and the portion OF tho farm
er's and devoted to sheep culture be.
comes almost valueless. The average
value Of the farm would decrease at least
81 90 an acre. Here is dimunitiOn in
the national wealth OF $2S0,000,00O.
"ShCep would decrease in value 30
cents q head-anothGr shrinkage OF S25,-
100000.
"Supposing that We continued to raise
the sumo crop OF wool as heretofore,
there must be decrease in its value OF
from to cents n pound-another loss
Of S25, 100000.
FARMERS will be compelled to reduce
the wages OF their 100000 helpers to the
extent OF fifteen cents day or $50 a
year-a further loss OF $25, 100000.
"Now, to reduce our revenue $4,000
600 we propose to impoverish one tit-
teenth Of an entire population, compell-
ing them to raise wool In competition
with the pOverty.striCken nations OF the
earth where land and labor are worth
one-half less than in this country. And
we propose to cause shrinkage in the
value Of lands, labor, flock and woods to
the enormous amount OF $955, 600.
"If the Mills bill passes the most they
expect would be u saving OF $50, 600, 900
in the price OF his wool to the manufac-
turer. But one.half of this would re-
main with the manufacturer and mer-
chant in the shape OF increased profits,
and the consumer would be benefited
to the extent of $4,000, 900 only.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 3.-Mr. II. D.
Washburn, who lives ten miles north of
Quitman, was passing around the back
OF his plantation, accompanied by two
dogs, one very large bulldog, the other
a small fee, The small dog was sudden,
" attacked by monster rattlesnake, the
snake biting him and holding him to the
ground with his mouth. The larger dog,
seeing the trouble, went brayely to the
rescue, The snake Immediately released
the small dog and sprang for the larger
one, biting him In the neck, Mr.. Wash.
burn had in the meantime got hold OF
a fence rail and started for the scene Of
battle. On seeing Mr.. Washburn the
monster left the dogs and sprang for
him. The old gentleman backed few
steps, and, gathering his energies, struck
ut his snakeship with the rail. The rail
took effect on the snakes head and stun
ned him, Then Mr., Washburn put in
his work and in few minutes killed
him, The snake was as large US mana
thigh and seven feet long. He was an
old settler Strange to say, the small
dog recovered, but the large bulldog
died the next day.
