The country boy has been extolled
as the boy par excellence. He Is said
to have the rugged frame, the steady
habits and the earnestness and gravity
essential to the making Of the man
who will take position In the world.
Cases innumerable have been given
of the statesman, the capitalist, the
successful business man who owed his
attainment to the character and hab-
its he formed as a country boy. The
city boy has been almost ignored in
tracing greatness to its source. Now
comes Professor Finley, Of the City
College, Of New York, who believes
the city boy Is better Off morally, ply
sically and Intellectually than the
country boy. Just think" says Pro-
fessor Finley, what a boy has in the
city which he calls his home. He has
tine whole history of humanity and the
best men in the country within ear
shot" He further added that so far
as health was concerned most of the
prairie boys he used to know are now
under the sod. There Is reason for
believing Professor Finley to be right,
says the Chicago Chronicle, in spite
of the fact that many Of our great
men were country boys. Recent sta
tistics 80 to show that people in large
towns live three and half years long
er than people in the country and the
health of Chicago could hardly be
matched by any rural retreat, how
ever promising the location. AS to
moral health the city boy having a
good home and accustomed to the
glare Of footlights and knowing some
what the meaning Of dazzling scenes
has an advantage over the rustic
youth, who is lured TO tempta ton By
his very innocence and curiosity. He
Is more liable to step In anywhere and
far more liable to be taken In" when
he is led astray. The country boy may
know more of nature, but the city boy
understands human nature, which is
more important and more interesting.
His intellect Is constantly whetted by
friction with other minds and he is not
allowed to get rusty. Perhaps the best
situation for a boy is where he can
have the advantages of city and coun-
try combined. Emerson delighted in
Concord, but thanked God 1t was To-
Gated so near Boston, and the youth
who has all the privileges afforded
by the large city and yet has his home
in. the quiet retreat of the country
may count himself the most favored
in the land. The time may come when
easy transportation will grant this IA
vor to the large majority. The promise
is already In sight.

30 far away from land.
The most possible solution Is offered
by the writer In the Post He believes
that the key is to be found in the
nature OF the cargo, In the quality of
wood in which 1t was cased, and in
the position Of the fore hatch.
When the Mary Celeste was boarded,
her sails gave evidence that she was
abandoned while running before a
strong breeze, and had been rounded
to In order to launch the lifeboat. Her
fore hatch was lying bottom side un
ON the deck. Her cargo was alcohnl
stored in red oak barrels. Red oak
Is very porous, and permits the as-

fumes mixing with the foul air of tho
hold may have generated q gas whinh

sink beneath the waves. No one will
ever know, but this is what may have
happened.
The later adventures of the Mary
Celeste were quite in keeping with her
ili-starred early promise. She was sold
for debt, and proved a bad bargain
Then she was wrecked off Haiti, and

AN OCEAN MYSTERY.


OF all unexplained happenings, none
seems so mysterious as do those of the
sea, for the waves keep their secrets.
Among the many nautical mysteries
which have been the talk of seafaring
folk, that Of the Mary Celeste has for
thirty years taken the lead. All sorts
of explanations have been attempted,
and the incidents have been used as
the basis of well-known sea novel,
yet no satisfactory solution has been
offered. A writer in the New York
Evening Post has recently summed
up the facts Of the case, and strange
ones they are. The Mary Celeste was
unlucky from the first. She was
launched in 1869. Bad fortune attend
ed her very start in the world, for, be-
ing built Of green timber, she stuck
on the ways and was tloated only at
great expense. Her voyages were un-
profitable, and after few years her

On Dec. 4, 1873, the Mary Celeste,
bound for Genoa, was found by the
British vessel Del Gratia about mid
way between the Azores and Lisbon.
adrift and abandoned. She was run
ming under sail, her long boat was
gone, and the chronometer and the
ships papers were missing. 1t was ey-

the conditions of work OF certain
classes of railway employees In France,
Germany. Austria, Italy. Russia, India

the subject does not specify anything
as TO the duration of hours OF work
and hours of rest, but it gives the
Board OF Trade power to control the
conditions Of work for those employees
upon whom the safety of the public
depends. This body may reduce the
