HOW THEY DRESS.
The male Muckanaghederdauh
dress consists solely in two coarse wooden
garments, a jacket and kind OF trous-
ers, spun and woven by hand. Some OF
the less poor men wear also shirts, gen
orally cheap cotton, sent out from Man
chester. Some wear boots. AS among
the backward races of the world, the
women's dress is less elaborate. They
very seldom wear boots. and those that
do don't seem to know how to lace them
on. The children are always barefooted,
and some of them are all but naked, even
in the severity of winter, up to ten years
of age.
The family commonly live in single
small, rude apartment, with their domes-
tic animals, mixing pigs, cows, goats,
fowls and children among straw, heath
er. and far less acceptable accumulations.
In one case 1 saw a single bed for a fam
ily of seven with only few rags to COW
er them, and absolutely nothing to lie
upon but a pile Of bare heather. There
was no chimney; the smoke was supposed
to go out through a hole in the roof, but
went out by the door instead, filling the
hut on its way. Those who live with
their beasts are the middle and upper
classes; the lower classes have no beasts
with which to live. A traveller who had
been that way before me tells me he saw
a whole family absolutely naked, but 1
saw nothing quite so interesting as that.

TIE AGE OF GRADUATION.

Prof. Thomas w. Scott, of Columbia
University, has been making an investiga-
tion of the age at which young men
graduate, and gives the result of his in
vestigation in the Popular Science Month
ly He made inquiries into the case of
nearly 10000 students, in eleven colleges,
representative of all parts of the country
except the extreme West, extending over
one hundred years. His investigations dis
prove the general notion that the age at
which men graduate is older than an
hundred years ago. In truth there has
been scarcely any change.
In 100 years the average age of gradua-
ton at Dartmouth College has fallen
three months, while In 100 the age at
Mddleburg has risen four months. In
the decade of 1S50-'59 the median age of
the various colleges studied average %
years, SO months; in the decade 1S90-'99
it averaged e years, rs months. The
average age during 1S5e-'59 was % years,
is months. and in 1890 99. % years, 19
months; in fifty years it has changed
only about sixteen days. In this calcula-
ton each college was considered separ
ately in making up the average. If the
graduates be punched. the resulting aver
ages are, for the earlier period % years
and months; for the latter, % years
and 10 days.
We do not know what an investigation
would prove, but we incline to the opinion
that the age of graduation in North
Carolina is lower than in the average of
the colleges considered by Mr. Scott. We
expect the same thing is, true Of most
colleges in the South.

is THE REPORT TRUEq

The Raleigh correspondent of the Char
lotte Observer, writing of the approaching
election for an extension of the city limits
OF Raleigh, says:
THE most interesting local matter here
is the election on the question Of extern
sion of Raleigh's limits. The opposition
to extension is working hard and spend
ing money, one wealthy citizen and one
corporation leading in the fight. This
opposition has raised 1900 and has agents
at work On the side of extension there
is what may be called merely general
interest, but this is now being aroused
by the action of those fighting extension. -
The correspondent who sent out this re-
port was printing only what he had heard,
but is his information correct? Is it true
that 81 500 has been raised to be spent in
the campaign against city extension? Is
it true that they have agents at work."
This election is one that ought to be
conducted without money and without
hired agents. If either side attempts to
carry the election by such means the peo-
PIE ought to resent it.
1t has been about fifty years since the
corporate limits of Raleigh we're extended.
Is Raleigh content to be a finished town
AMI to retain the same limits with $4,000
or 10000 population that it had when it
had population of only 5000? If so, let
the city extension proposition be defeated,
and let us hang out the sign: Raleigh
is a Finished Town.
