ALL obseryant teachers are aware
Of the effect which the use of tobacco
has upon the schoolboy, 1t is de-
clared by men of long experience in
teaching that smoking makes boys
sluggish and that the capacity for
study is greatly impaired thereby.
Recently Testigations have been
made to ascertain the effect of tobacco
upon the physical development. The
board of health of the State of New
Jersey has iesued circulars to teach
ers Of the public schools of the State
containing interrogatories upon this
subject DR.. Laban Dennis, of
Newark, who has pa d much atten-
ton TO the subject has prepared an
article giving the results Of some of
Of his investigation, which appears
in the report of the board of health
for 1892.
II seems that measurements made
of 1877 students at Yale College
showed that the non users of tobacco
gained over the users during the
college year in weight % per cent,
in height 59l per cent IN girth of
chest 10 per cent, in lung capacity
GG per cent Measurements made at
Amherst College showed even greater
difference in favor of those who do
not use tobacco.
There is really but little temptation
for boys to smoke In order to ac-
quire the habit they undergo agonies
of nausea, and the chief incentive to
the habit is perhaps, the belief that
it increases their Importance. 1t is
useless to argue with them or to ad.
wise them that they lower themselves
ia public estimation by smoking,
rather than raising themselves. But
if it is possible to convince them that
their standing in baseball or foot ball
will be impaired by the habit, the
more ambitious boys will give up
tobacco OF this the athletic associa-
tions bear abundant testimony.
Members of them have reported that
the use of tobacco is harmful to
young men in training for a contest
which requires strength and endur-
ance--. Balfo. Sun.

The Pig Pen Nuisance.

HOW ROCKVILLE GOT RID OF THE HOGS
AND BECAME A CLEAN TOWN.
A correspondent OF the Baltimore Sun
relates the experience of a Maryland
town in getting rid OF fertile source o.
disease that threatens many Virginia
towns where hogs are allowed within the
corporate limits. He says:
81 read your very excellent comments
on the removal of pig sites from towns
and villages, published IN yesterday s
issue. l am pleased to note that the very
arguments you advanced are those used
about fifteen years ago to tie citizens of
Rockville and accepted by them. Prior
to this time some of our people who had
to struggle hard for livelihood entertain
ed the common, through erroneous, idea
advanced by those Of HagerstOwn and
other places, that the raising of hog or
two in their yards was great economy
Our town council appointed committee,
consisting of tn rea ply sicians, to ex-
anime into the causes of sickness, if any
existing in our town. They, after a
thorough investigation, reported, among
other things, that the hog pens here pro-
duced diphtherla, typhoid and other
malarial diseases. Our council there upon
passed an ordinance prohibiting the keep
ing Of hogs in the town and started a
campaign of education on limited scale,
and it was not long before every one saw
that it was false economy to keep hogs.
as one DOCTORS bill, especially if the IN
dertaker's bill bad to be included, would
cost far more than could be made in
lifetime from raising hog or twc-to say
nothing Of the loss of beloved ones.
Besides clean town, free of noxious
odors, such as arise from piR-pens on
warm, cloudy, murky day, would draw
population to us, thereby enhancing the
value of the small property holders far
more than the hogs profted. By COM
mon consent, without a single arrest, be
it said TO the credit and good sense of my
enterprising and good tOwnspeople, the
hog sty was abolished, and there is not
today, aud has not been for years, one in
our town. And it is with pride that we
hear our many city visitors speak so
highly of the cleanliness, the health
fulness and the beauty of orr thrifty and
town of Rockville"

Broad Wagon Tires.

The advocate of good roads will be in
terestcd in the results Of the recent Law
made by the New York Legislature giving
o rebate of enc half his highway taxes tC
the man who uses a tire not less than
three inches wide with every two horse OF
larger wagon. The law went into effect
on June ! AMI dealers in wagons report a
veIy maIkd Increasing demand for
wagons with wide tires One dealer il
quoted as saying:
Il will venture to say that cur sales OF
them are fully one hundred per cent
more than a year ago and the proportion
Is steadily increasing. will not say what
of this amount is due to the State law and
what to local laws, but the effect of the
rebate law viii be very great as soon as
It's provisions are generally known.
"When farmers have occasion to buy
new wagons they will certainly choose
those with wide tires, and many of them
come to use now for new wide wheels for
their old boxes. We have one agent who
cannot get rid of his stock of narrow tire
wagons, and so he is compelled to put
wide wheels on them all"
Another wagon maker says; There is
no doubt that the law will eventually
lead to the general adoption of wide tires,
for the farmer is compelled to save where
ever he can aud the matter of highway
ia xes is quite an item in bis accounts.
Aside from this, be cannot blind his eyes
to the great saving in power from wide
wheels, especially on sandy roads,"

Drought in West Virginia.

WHEELING, W. Va, July 30.-West
Virginia is suffering from the most severe
and long continued drought which has
been known In many years. There has
been no rain worthy of mention since
the first of the month and during the
time the weather hes averaged about s.
degrees, while 100 has been reached three
and 93 several times. The Ohio river is
bat little more than a creek, the varf
marks showing less tn an two feet in the
channel. Wheeling creek, the principal
stream If this county, has almest entirely
dried up and its tributaries are without
q trace of water.
Along the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
great trouble is experienced IN getting
water for the locomotives.
There have been several destructive
forest fires, that at Alaska being most
severe, IN which four dwellings and sew
ersl hundred acres of valuable hard wood
timber were destroyed.
The farmers are discouraged. Oats are
short and dry up without ripening.
Corn has turned brown and is drying up.
Fruits and garden produce are failure,
and potatoes will b. less than half a crop.
