The FERRIs Industrial School needs
financial aid, and it should receive it
soon, either from the County or from
the State. There is no institution in
the State that is doing more to reform
hayward boys than this one. The
Levy Court OF New Castle County had
the pleasure yesterday of looking into
the faces of forty-two boys who have
been sent here for reformation, and
under the humane instruction that they
receive here they cannot but become
better boys. Indeed, to listen to their
beautiful singing, their efforts at
oratory, their blackboard exercises in
farithmetie, we wondered why they were
there at all. Before this Institution
was organized, there was no place for
these unfortunate boys but within the
bleak dark walls of New Castles frown-
Ing Jail, from which they would have
emerged greater criminals than when
they entered
But in this humane institution those
boys are told that they are not lost,
that their future is not always to be
a dark one, that there is TO be bright
star of hope for them. that laudable
and honest ambition will lead them to
the higher walks OF an honest lie,
where they will be respected by an
honest community. This institution
should not be stinted with means to
carry it on. 1t is now overcrowded
and should be enlarged to double its
capacity. Money invested in this in
stitution will pay tremendously
large interest to the State or county
that provides 1t. This school relieves
tho iails, relieves society, and turns
crime into the channels OF virtue and
honesty. By all means let large do
nation be made for the Ferris Indus
trial School.

Longevity and Country Life.

How great the difference is between
an urban and rural population in the
average age of all who die may be con-
veniently illustrated from the registra-
ton reports of Massachusetts, which
have been published for forty-seven
years. In the thirty years from 1850
to 1880 the average age of all the per
sons who died in Suffolk county an
urban county on the seaboard, was
% 1-2 years; the average age of all per-
sons who died in Barnstable, n rural
county on the same seaboard, was 81;
in Franklin, an inland rural county,
SO 70; while the average age of all the
persons who died in the island county
of Nantucket during the thirty years
was very nearly double the average
age at death in Suffolk-namely, 46. 10.
The same reports show that the an
nual death rate is uniformly higher in
the densely populated counties than in
the sparsely populated ones. Other
causes besides density Of population
contribute to produce these striking re-
Suits but the main fact remains that a
family which lives i'm the country has n
better chance of continuance than one
that lives in the city. Moreover if the
family history of the actual leaders, for
the time being, in business and the
professions in any American city, be
studied, it will usually be found that a
very large proportion of them were
country bred. The country breeding
gives a vigor and an endurance which
in the long run outweigh all city adj
vantages, and enable the well endowed
country boys to outstrip all their com
petitors. President G. w. Eliot in
Forum.

Guarding Boxes ON the street.


When the cold wind whistles through
the streets at nights it makes life vastly
uncomfortable for the men who are
paid to guard piles of boxes left on the
pavement outside the big wholesale
houses. If they do their duty cOnsci
entiously, these watchmen are bound
to get pretty fair notion of what a
real winter night is There is one Of
them, however, who manages to get
some comfort out of his chilly trade.
The other night he was seen taking his
ease in the midst of a lot of packing
cases in a street near Broadway. An
empty box, set with its open end to-
ward the middle of the street, had been
furnished within with a piece of old
carpeting. which served the double
purpose of keeping out the draughts
and at the same time of making a
rather easier seat.
In front of the open end of the box
stood an old iron ash can, with holes
enough in the bottom to secure plenty
of draught for the fire that blazed
within. With this eXtemporiZed fur
mace u 1eeJ lew from inc eiIItIilCe 10 his
sentry box, the Waterman sat In state.
The wind could not get at him, and
the fire kept him fairly warm. More
over, his duties were not of a nature to
bother him greatly. He was in the
heart of the business district, and few
persons were likely to venture through
the street, while the wind was keen
enough to make a raid by hoodlums
hardly to be expected. a few blocks
away another guard was found with
out the inventive genius of his fellow.
He was bundled up in overcoats, but
he looked as cold as a country cousins
welcome to wn.-New York Times.

and then to change ones point of view.
Little Hans had just begun his school
life, and his mother was ambitious to
have him keep a high standing in his
class.
''Why, Hans" she said regretfully at
the end of his second week, ''last week
you gave me so much pleasure by get
ting to be at the head of your class, and
now you are only number four, l see. "
"Yes'm, / know" admitted the little
fellow, with great gravity; but then, "
he added, 'some other boys mamma
had the pleasure this week, so l thought
perhaps you wouldn't mind so very
much!"
You're quite right, Hans, " said his
mother, giving him an appreciative
smile, Il don't mind it at all-nowp-

POISONED ARROWS OF THE PYeMIEs

Terrible Havoc and Suffering Caused by
the weapons of Africans.
When we first encountered the tribes
who fought with poisoned arrows we
were not prepared to be greatly inn
pressed with the danger, but we re-
ceived a severe lesson in August, 1887,
during a fight with the Avisibba saw
ages Young fellows, inspired by the
example of Lieut.. Stairs, R. E, rushed
with brave homicidal intentions to the
front, and the tiny arrows sailed in
showers past them, but some of them
found their intended billets and were
arrested quivering in arms and shout
ders. With contemptuous smiles the
young men drew them out and flung
them away, and some continued an
swering the savases with rifeshots,
while others sought the surgeon, bear
ing with them the arrows with which
they had been wounded.
When the days fight was over of
course we had more leisure to examine
the missiles, and our anxiety was great
when we observed that they had been
freshly smeared with a brown, gummy
like substance which emitted a subtle,
acrid odor, with a suspicion of asafGtida
in it. The arrows seemed to have been
plunged into a pot containing a goodly
quantity of a resinous substance, and
twirled around in it and well soaked
and then lifted up in bunch and COW
cred over with banana or a piece of
phrynium leaf. Quivers full of the
arrows showed us that the weapons
were considered by their owners to be
dangerous, for those SO smeared were
tied together, head downward, and
apart from the others.
Yet the wounds made by these slen-
der arrows were mere punctures, such
as might have been made by finely
pointed butchers skewers, and being
exceedingly ignorant of the effect, we

There is a length of rubber sidewalk
in Edinburgh, and want to tell you it
is the finest sidewalk in the world 1t
is only about % feet long and the side
walk is about feet wide. The rubber
is fluted so as to allow the water to
run off quickly, and the surface is the
most comfortable to walk on that can
well be imagined. You can't slip if
you try, and there is a spring and a
''give" that is most restful to the tired
man.
1t was laid as an advertisement by a
shopkeeper who sells "macintoshes"
and 'goloshes," as he calls rubber coats
and rubbers, and although the expense
must have been heavy l imagine it
must have yielded good results. He
told me the rubber was two inches
thick and was laid on four inch bed
of concrete. In four years it has shown
no appreciable signs of wear, but mis-
chievous boys have cut it in Places
