Practical improvements were needed.
Less than fifty years ago an engine
weighing fifty tons was regarded with awe.
Its wonderful speed Of twenty miles an
hour was commented upon. and it, trains
OF ten or twelve freight cars were re.
garded as the acme OF traffic possibilities.
Driving wheels from forty to fifty inches
high carried these trains.
The smokestacks were often five feet
high. and terminated in bulges from which
the smoke poured in impressive volume.
Since the day OF these iron monsters'

Almost all things which were regarded as
imperatively necessary have been found not
only unnecessary. but In the way.
The small boiler has given place to huge

from 90 to 20 inches. and Is almost COM

WRITTEN ToR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC
An effort 10 being made to have the Brit
-. Ah Parliament enact legislation. against
cigarette smoking by boys. The warmest
supporters Of the measure are the employ
ers Of boys.
Tho boy smoker in the workshop is any
thing but popular with his master.
Sir James Reckitt has declared that he
would certainly not choose q boy, smoker
to do any work for him II he could get q
ncnsmoker. and Sir Thomas Upton has ex-
pressed the strongest ~disapproval OF the
practice.
Sir Christopher Furness has found that
cigarette smoking among boys not only
causes deterioration OF physique. but tends
to develop lounging habits. with the result
that the Juvenile mokers work II less
e~onscientIously done. n he 10 lacking In
sprghtliness and aiertness.
where. as II often the case" Sir Chris
topher adds. "the boy smokes clandestins-
ly, habits Of decsitfulness will probably be
formed"
Sir George Williams's experience a. an
employer has conclrsively proved to him
that a boy Is a far from satisfactory work.
er II he smokes. and he says: The effects
Of smoking. with It's tendency to encour-
age drinking. arp to reduce q lads energy.
to lessen his intellectual capacity, and to
weaken his moral character"
EVIL EFFECT ON THE MIND.
h fact that every great public school IN
England prohibits smoking among Its boyp.
ana Furnishes Offenders with a strong hand,
u eloquent Of the evil effect tobacco has on
the young mind. says the Westminster
Budget.
The Leeds School Board some time ago
enlisted the services of eminent medical
authorities in its battle against the cigar
cite, and the Plymouth board circular1zed
the teachers and parents Of children on the
subject.
A COMMITTEES Of the Liverpool soheol
Board which Investigated the matter de-
elared that cigarette smokinR affects the
system generally. and arrests physical de-
velopment," and 1t would be possible to
quote thousands Of such opinions from the
educational side.
It goes without saying thai the doctor 4,
the strongest enemy Of the cigarette for
boys. IAN the evidence" says Doctor An.
drew Wilson. points to the undertaking.
OF q growing lads physique by indulgence
In Tobacco" and Doctor Wilson continues:
add to his the moral effect-that Of rem
dering the already precocious boy still more
precoci6us, and Of turning him into an In
sunerable prig. and you thus condemn the
habit from another point Of VIEW"
ENCOURAGES LAXITY OF MORALS.
Sir Henry Littiejohn. the veteran medical
officer of health for Edinburgh. has used hia
great influence against the boy smoker ON
many grounds, and there Is much force in
his argument that the practice IS frauKht
with dangers to society at large. owing to
the secrecy with which the habit Is carried
on. the assembling at nights, the tendency
to visit ice cream shops to assuage the heat
Of the mouth that has been ~engendered by
the filthy practice: and In addition we have
ultimately that disregard of the proprieties
due the other sex which is introducing in
our midst a laxity of morals. which. m The
future, must bear fruit"

Fourth Sunday on Rich Mountain.

Editors Courior: In accordance with a
notice given by Rev. j. M. Sanders in
your valuable paper for preaching on
Rich Mountain, it was our pleasure to
attend at the hour appointed. A nice
congregation had assembled in the beau
tiful grove on Mavericks Knob of Rich
Mountain. This mountain was owned by
Hon. Samuel Maverick, who gave it the
name 1T bears. We enjoyed hearing a
good sermon, preached by Rev. J. NJ.
Sanders. The congregation was orderly.
The singing was very fine. 1t was lead by
John Sanders and Sisters Bette Goss and
Amanda Watkins. The songs were soul
stirring. The fourth Sunday of May was
we'll spent and enjoyed by all present.
We hope to spend another day on Rich
Mountain.
Sunday school and singing were being
held at Mount Zion church nearby, and
1t was desired that all assemble in the
grove. Lucian Abbott and Glenn Will.
banks acted as messengers in assembling
the congregations together. Sheriff B.
II. Moss kept the boys quiet during the
services.
1t would be treat to any one to visit
this grand mountain, thousands of feet
above sea level, and enjoy the cool breezes
and drink the ice-cold water that flows
from the side of this mountain.
