Farm Advantages.

At a recent meeting Of the South Bri=-
tol Farmers club. Gideon II; Allen was
the speaker on country and town life
Among other things he said
Men naturally choose methods to aC-
cOmplish their aims which cost them the
least effort. for few labor for the love IA
labor. but from sheer necessity. Fur
this reason many shun agricultural pur-
suits considering them very l1bnTlouS,
less profitable ANA presenting fewer pos
sibilities for enjoyment Of The ordinary
pleasures of life than other occupations.
They associate with the work of the
farmer the idea of drudgery constant
and intending. The millions who toll in
factories increasingly. the other millions
who drudge year after year at the count
er or desk. in store or office. have little
reason to cXalt their condition over that
Of the independent and unhamprred uilgr
Of the soil The merchant ana manu-
facturcr are no less drudges, ana must
keep everlastingly at it if they desire
success. The lawyer. doctor ana teacher
bilious and faithful. and under continued
strain None of these. believe, enjoy
that lasting freedom of person and of
spirit that feeling Of contentment. and
the general immunity from care troubl"
and disease. which are the usual bless
ings of the farmers life.
The farmer may devote more hours
daily to his work than the mechanic,
manufacturer or merchant. He enjoys
the opportunity for greater variation II
employment, which Of itself Is reSttul,
while the workers in the mechanical in
dustries, in business pursuits, ana even
the professions. are subject to constant
mon6tonous application in one line. ana
none OF them enjoy the eXhilarating ana
health-giving influences Of out-of-door
air and sunshine, which are the farmer $
constant pleasure.
1t is a question. however, whether
the farmer might not profit by adopting
a policy with regard to his hours of la
Dor more nearly approaching the day
system as followed in other callings
whether he might not accomplish more
BY applying himself with greater assd-
uity while ne labors, thereby affordinE
himself more time to plan his operations
for f,,I''' reading ana study for mental i'm
provement and leisure for recreation ana
amusement. 1t is perhaps possible also
to increase the proportion of work done
bv machinery on most farms with cor
responding decrease of purely hand labor
a result to be desired where possible

building and its eminent fitness for an
orphanaEe. Superintendent Jenkins
has had personal supervision of the
work from the beginning and has seen
10 all of the details with tireless en-
ergy. and the result shows II. When
we consider how comparatively small
was the sum of money at his disposal.
we are better able to appreciate what
nus peen accomplished. 1t is q known
TACT that the builders contributed
largely to the charity by exceeding
thelr limitations in the work. and this
accounts for the splendid work on the
tui.uins, wnich could not otherwise
hand. oSS at
Inc expectation of the management
is to open the orphanage to children
about the 18th of this month, and thara
is no reason to doubt that this can
ue zone; ms building viii be tor
girls only. Plans have been received
and are now under consideration fo,.
another building to be erected for The
boys, and the contract will he let &c
soon as decision on the plans is
rcachcu; Fhe present building can ac
commodate from twenty-five to thirty
girls. and possibly more.
II mas been estimated that siyty dol
lars year constitute the necessory
expense OF each child in the orphanaCe
nus lhe endowment necessary for the
thousand dollars, which. invested st
SIX per cent. would give sixty dollars
year each. Already Captain John n
Bullock. of Rocky Mount. and Mr.. sid.
ney McMullen. of HEREFORD. have prom
ised one thousand dollars each. and
three Sunday schools in the State have
promised the same amount each. and
II is hoped that the whole endowment
iund VIII be reached very soon. Tho
plan for raising money to keep up the
running expenses OF the institution is
very simple one. 1t is for each con-
tributor to give five dollars year for
FIVE years. This creates q regular
yearly income that may be depended
upon. and one that will grow larger
and larger as time goes on. Already
subscriptions for this fund have been
made in great number, and are coming
in fast all the time.
The instruction given will be in
charge of competent teachers. and will
be of most practical nature, consist
ing of the rudiments of an ENGLISH
education and practical instruction in
industrial branches of various kinds.
so that when girl leaves the orphan
age she will be equipped to make her
own living from the very start by some
kind of skilled work.

a NEW MODE OF PUNISHMENT
Philadelphia Times.)

AT times it looks as IL the old-time
Japanese methods of arranging the
punishment to fit the crime might adj
visedly be revived in our own time and
country. This would appear all the
more desirable from there apparently
being no adequate penalty upon the
statute book for some very common
but heinous offenses.
For five years n wife down in Derby,
Connecticut. has been enduring ali
sorts of abuse from her husband be-
cause she could not bake bread or cook
generally like his mother did. Finally
he wanted to shoot her, and at this
stage of the excitement She got a di-
vorce.
Apparently the law has no hold on
him. but no harm would be done the
proprieties of the case il there was leg
islation that insisted on holding him
and feeding him on chilled soup, cold
mutton and underdone short cake until
he got such a lasting dose of dyspep-
sia that even his poor wife's bread
would float in his memory as a feast
fit for the gods.

DANGEROUS DRIFT TO CITIES.
(From the st. Louis Globe.)

The drift toward the cities is the pro-
duct in some degree. at least, of the
old desire to give as little as possible
of hard labor to the work of accumulat-
ing n competency; to approach as near
as may be to the base ideal of living as
near as one can without work The
real misery and unhappiness attending
daily life-not the imaginary or exag-
gerated forms of discontent-are found
in the cities. To-day. as forever. in
America. as elsewhere. the man is best
