AT SCHOOL.
The food supply of this city is practi-
ca..v unlimited. One can always buy
Things here for eating purposes, and az
q reasonable price. The markets are
large. abundant and well supplied with
almost everything from stewed terrapiu
90 picked pemnican.
The water supply is q source Of great
local pride, aud much of the good health
of the community seems 90 be due 70
that. Physicians tell me that open wells
should be looked upon with much SuS-
melon. and I believe that 70 be true.
Much poison is eugendered In open wells
bv the decay of insects alone which fall
ir aud are unable 90 get out again until
decomposition has taken place. Other
animal life also COncealS itself In the
bottom OF the well, so that the old OAken
bucket, the Oue-tling-and buck
90 that hanged I'M the well, is az times as
productive OF injurious results as the
wine cup.
remember that we had a school well
near the gothic dugOut In which / used
90 read Horace and Neritas, with my
thoughts far away In the Greek aud RO-
man suburbs and my little sOiled toe in
rathole under my desk. Once the ty-
p10.d fever broke out in our school and

the class if 10 had not occurred 70 the
teacher 20 have the water aunalyZed
and the well cleaned out.
They found al that time, as near as
can recall the circumstance after 90
I0uga time, three moss covered buckets
that had disappeared many years before,
O. gallon Of augiewOrms that had died

OF yarn mittens and a former teacher
named Rider, who had disappeared the
day before he was 70 come % our house

the time as most of the neighborS did.
The manufactures of Philadelphia are
very extensive, and said TO be greater
than in any other city Of the Union, ex-
tending all the way along the scale from
the iron bridge OF commerce down to
the unasSumiuC ak helye Of the work-a-
day world. liz is safe TO say that the
city is one OF the most prosperous in this
respect within the borders Of our trim
little republic.
The exports Of Philadelphia used TO
double every five years, but whether
this ratio has been maintained recently
] have not the data az hand for aScer-
tanning, and on the instructions for
pushing the bell button In my room l do
not see any authority which will war
rant my ringing for more data. Each
room is supposed 10 be supplied with all
the data it ought TO have az one time, ]
presume, and If one wishes 20 use more
he must do il az his own risk and his
own expense.
The Mathilde Adler Loeb DiSpenSary
Is a free-fOr-all Institution founded by
Mr.. and Mrs. Abraham Adler. There Is
also Home for Aged and Infrm lsra-
elites. with a capacity of 100 inmates. /
do not know why it should be SO large.
The information that there is p0Ssi-
biIitv of the time coming when there
will be 100 ISraeiites In this country
who cannot take care of themselves aud
loan money TO others will come TO many
Of nay readers like a clap Of thunder
from a clear SKY.
IL is dedicated TO the relief Of the sick
and wounded, without regard 70 creed,
color or nationality" That throws more
Iighton the subject. l did not visit it,
but / will bet a new pack OF fOxhOunds
against two bushel bag of anise seed
and a full cry that the institution is
filed with colored people. No colored
man is going 20 allow a nice new hos pi-
taI TO remain vacant SO long as he can
C.Sembowel his foot with an ak and then
get nursed back TO health again.
The broad spirit OF kindness and gen.
eroSity shown in the construction Of
these aud many other institutions in
Philadelphia is manifest everywhere,
and TO be called the City of BrOtherly
Love is an ambition which is laudable

20 be laudable TO a degree, but the ex-
preston occurs IN a book which ! am
now reading and l thought l would use
It.
Sometimes we find charity and tOler-
ance where we would least expect it.,
and vice versa. In North Carolina,
where may now be regarded as a sum-
mer resident, taxpayer and fellow-eiti-
zen, there is, in some parts OF the State,
q strong religious sentiment which must
be extremely gratifying to a tactlonal
deity. ! do not know, Of course, how a
prayer is received at the Throne Of
Grace which is ticketed as coming from
the Reformed or Established or Re-eS-
tablished Observation-Disclosures Church
South, or the Hardshell Aquatic Church
looking northwest. The committee on
credentials must be pretty busy some
times settliI z the question OF whether
rain prayed Tor by the high church shall
be supplied or the cessation OF rain re-
Quested by the low church, or whether
