Doctors for tho Poor.
fgor ~. nfa..agh

At the regular meeting Of the Academy
of Medicine and Surgery held on Tuesday
night the following resolution was, after
careful discussion, passed unanimously:
HeSoired, That this academy respectfully
petition TO the City Council 10 appoint
four physicians 10 attend TO the poor Of
the city white and colored) and that they
receive $50 per month for their services.
It was suggested that these doctors be
appointed on recommendation OF the
Committee as Relief of the Poor, and make
their reports monthly 20 the President of
the Board of Health. They would perform
important services to the Board as sanitary
inspectors of the best sort. They would
be the first 10 discover unsanitary iOcall-
ties and epidemic diseases, as these first
make their appearance among the poor.
Il was stated that Petersburg, Norfolk,
Lynchburg, and even Charlottesville, have
doctors appointed TO attend the sick poor,
and yet Richmond, with her $1,000 peo-
pie (as many as all these cities combined),
has not for thirty years made any such
provision. This Is certainly q curious fact.
and may account in great measure for
our high rate of mortality. BY the new
census this will go up at a very big figure.
Drs. Hugh Taylor, George Ben Johnston,
and NJ. ID. Hoge, Jr., were appointed q
committee 10 present the resolution to the
Council. Dr. Parker, the president of the
Academy, was added TO the committee.

qHE WONDERFUL WATER.

This water seems 10 reach and bene1. or
cure almost all the tleshly Ills that beset
the poor human frame. This Is no unsup-
ported assertion of the writer, but tho
claim is backed by such high medical au-
thority as Di. William f. Howon, OF Baltl-
more. professor of diseases OF women and
children in the University of Maryland.

Spring No. 2 was discovered By Colonel
Goode himself since he has owned the
property. and his enterprise in bringing 1t
before the public has been rewarded by a
popularity excelled by few waters. The
spring is about l50 yards from the other, .
strong lthla, also clear, cold, and tasteless.
Here Is the pac klng-hOuse. and hence IL
shipped all over the country and 70
Europe tins wonderful water. 1t IS bot
tied sealed. and packed at the spring az
the rate Of 1900 gallons per day and
shipped in cases Of twelve half-gallOn
bottles as fast as packed.
After supplying the constant demand
upon the spring by the visitors the supply
is hardly equal to the orders that pour IN
daily from every quarter, and are even now
compelled 10 wait their turn 20 be filed.
The demand for No. 2 water ls readily un-
derstood when it is known that il IS en-
dorsed and in the highest terms by such
distinguished medical authorities as DR.
Hunter Mctiuire. of Richmond; DR.. James
l.. Cabell. late Of the University Of Vir-
ginia: DR.. @. II. Boyland, Baltimore Medi-
cal College Dr. G. f.. Walton, Cincinnati /;

fessor Medical College, of Virginia; DIR. j..
ID. Eggleston, Hampden-Sldney, Va, and
scores of other prominent physicians all
over Virginia, every southern State, and
almost every State IN the Union.
BY these gentlemen it is not only recon-
mended, but numerous instances are cited
in which it has cured or relieved many ner-
vous diseases, rheumatism, dyspepsia, gout,
neuralgia. lumbago, sciatica, and other
troubles. But the strong position the
water occupies above all others is as a spe-
cifc in diseases Of the kidneys aud blad-

THE FARMING WORLD.
WORKING A SMALL FARM.
A Man Who Has Successfully Tried 1t
Gives His Experience.

A Man who Has successfully ~"
Gives His Experience
Tried farming on q forty-acre traci Tor
eight years, and was well pleased with
the results, says a writer IN the A.merl
can Arriculturist In Michigan WIS
cousin, Indiana and some other States
the system Of small farming IS enlarg-
ing in scope. went into the venture a
little skeptical Of the outcome, having
always regarded forty acres as merely a
big lot on a fair-Sized farm. After the
experience mentioned | am convinced
that there are adyanta geS that q
sixteenth of a land-sectiOn possesses
over a quarter. Regarding the aver
age of farmers, there are few VINO
till more than forty acres Unless they
are extensive grain-raiSers, a dairy
man requires more land for pasturage
and meadow. but in nine cases out OF
ten his cultivated area would not exceed
the space mentioned. II takes only a
mile of fence to inclose forty acres; in
GLIDING one on the highway border,
which might be dispensed with, As the
erection and maintenance OF the other
two hundred AMI forty rods OF line
fence falls only half on the owner OF the
premises, a great expense is saved If
the forty acres are reasonably level, and
the dwelling and barns are near the
highway, run a lane parallel with the
road clear across the farm.
Then divide the fields so that all have
a frontage on the lane. The length of
the fields gives a long furrow, with its
consequent advantages, The house and
barn are neal to every field. The 'front.'
cut in twain by the buildings and
wards, can be utilized for orchard and
small-fruit culture. 1t is a mistake to
| suppose thas forty acres afford only
enough space for a truck patch. OF
course, if near a good city market,
Embarrassing will pay above any thing
else. but not all farmers are supposed TO
be so favorably located as that, and must
needs depend on the cultivation Of the
common staple crops. Do not neglect
the orchard. for that is the best fnan-
cial auxiliary Of the farm. The market
is never oyerstocked with choice pears
and fine varieties of apples. On a small
farm it is best to adhere to mixed pro-
duction, and not follow special cropping,
unless it is clearly to advantage. There
are instances, as Of raising corn and veg
etables for local canning, or sweet pota-
toes and melons for shipping, where a
speciality Of production is desirable. We
will suppose there are forty acres. On
this one can adyantageously keep three
or four COWS. and a good heavy-draught
horse, the latter TO constitute the

REALISM.
Hb Famous DEATH Scene the Result OF n
study in n Hospital.

study IN n Etospl'aA
Now that Sali'ini has published his
farewell to America, it seems to come
home TO those who are fond Of him that
we have really Eost him. We know SO
well that We shall never see his like,
but that we are now embarked upon that
elderly course Of saying to a younger
generation that they we're born toe late
since they have missed him, that we
would fain disbelieve still that this Is
indeed his last our in America.
When he was in Boston earlier in the
season a friend a physician, said to him
that he could not in the least compre-
bend how an actor could understand the
physical aspects of death so well as it
was shown in the powerful death scene
in LA Morte Ciyile" that Salvini did.
Il studied that death in the hospi-
tall the actor answered, speaking OF
course in Italian, so that ! do not give
his exact words. ~ happened to see an
old man die there. He was an old priest,
whose niece had left him to make a I'M
away marriage with a man of whom he
disapproved. The grief which he felt
broke him down, and when they found
at the hospital where he was that he
could not live, they sent for the young
couple 10 come and beg his forgiveness
before he died, l was there when they
came, The old man caught sight of
them, raised himself up in bed, and for
an instant all his fire and force seemed
TO come back; then it went out like the
flicker OF a candle. That was where |
learned the death in La Morte Civile.'"
Salvini has OF late years been ambi-
tious first for his art, which he loves in
> way which seems to belong to a by
gone age, so single and intense is it, and
after that for his family. He has saved
for the sake OF leaving them indepen-
dent. and it is probable that his efforts
in this direction have been successful.
He is while in this country beset with
all sorts of beggars, whom he is toe
good-natured to deny; and n Of the
droll incidents OF his last visit to Boston
was the call Of an imputent youth who
insisted upon his buying tickets to a
dry-good clerks ball. In the evening
of that day l saw him play Sampson
and the sbsurdity of him having two
tickets to the d~ry-guods' clerks ball
came over me just as he was about TO en-
ter for the first time, so that expected
the play to be spoiled for me. Fortu.
nately he carries one away in spite OF
