COUNTRY BRED GREATNESS.
Large Percentage of Public Men Had
Rural Training.

Last spring w. J. Spillman of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, set forth at some length in
science his reasons for believing that
the country boy gets a better start
in life than the city boy. For long
time this was generally assumed to
be so obvious as to call for no dis
cussion. But in recent years cham
pions of city breeding have arisen
and made out a very good case for
their side of the argument. In re-
cent issue Of the same journal Mr..
Spillman brings forward some new
and rather interesting data in sup
port of his conclusions. Some of it
is epitomized in the following table:
Per Cent

Among the replies to his letters of
inquiries, those from railway pres
idents seem to be of unusual inter-
est President Lucius Tuttle of the
Boston and Maine wrote: 1.-The
farm boy learns methods of economy
and the value of money. He is a
part of the business machinery of
the farm. The city boy as a, rule
has no connection with his fathers
business and knows little about it. "
President Hill of the Great North
ern, says, II am living on a farm
at some personal inconvenience in
order to give. my three boys good
start in life" President White of
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac, thinks that farm training
develops independence, self-reliance,
and the spirit of achievement.
1t is this last feature of farm life
its promotion of independence and
self-reliance in the boy-upon which
Mr.. Spillman chiefly bases his be-
lief in it's mental value.-New York

Pellagra Due to Impure Water.
Army surgeons, says a Washing
ton dispatch, have just made i'm
portant discoveries as to the origin
of the dread disease 'pellagra. :"
These discoveries have been made at
Peoria, at the Illinois State General
Hospital for the insane, where a
close study of the disease has been
conducted by surgeons Joseph F..
Siler and Hery J. Nichols. 1t has
been found that spoiled corn or corn
which has fermented does not cause
the trouble. 1t appears that patients
afflicted with pellagra have first un-
dergone an affection of the intesti-
nal tract, resembling dysentery, which
is often brought about by an impure
supply of water. 1t appears that the
army surgeons found great ignorance
at the Peoria hospital as to the ma
ture of pellagra. 1t is alleged that
several hospital attendants were dis
charged because of the belief they
had scalded pellagra patients. The
peeling cuticle on the hands and
arms, the authorities thought, was
caused by scalding water instead Of
by a disease.

How to Get Rid OF Calls and
GullieS.

Whenever we see CALLED spot or
gully, bare of vegetation, we cant
help wondering how any land owner
can get his consent to permit the con-
tinuance of such conditions. The lon
ger they exist the worse they become.
Why should any farmer permit him
self to be thus robbed of his '"stOck in
trade, his capital, his farm? Furth-
ermore, the time lost through the ne
ccssity of more frequent turns, or in
working over or around them. rightly
employed, would prevent their exist
ence or restore them to a useful condl-
ton after they have been formed. We
do not believe in filling gullies with
rails, brush, or other materials which
are likely to be in the way later on.
For gullies or CALLED spots, the best
remedy i straw, coarse stable manure
or some other material that will i'm
prove ther fertility. Follow this with
some growing crop. If a gully, pillow
dirt into it, turn the excess of water
in another direction and SOW peas; if
a CALLED spot, plow Geeply and keep
something growing on it all the time.
We have seen gullies ten feet deep
filled and brought vi to the most pro-
ductive part. of the field in three or
four years by liberal application OF
straw, leaves or coarse stable manure
and the sowing of COW peas. 1t will
pay to fill them up for the crops they
will bring, and if the fields are to be
put In condition for the use of the i'm
PIGMENTS necessary for economical cul-
tivation, these SCARED and quilted
fields, so common in many parts OF
the South, must be made to disap-
pear. Raleigh, N. c., Progressive
! Farmer.

PASSED NIGHT
ON THE RIVER

After spending all night anchored of the
mouth Of Christana river the steamer
Brandywlne poclxed her nose into her
dock this morning at $50 and landed her
passengers. 1t was because OF the heavy
fog that engulfed the river that the cap
tain decided not to take a chance on
getting home. The passengers took the
matter ilcsophically and speht the night
as best they could. some getting sleep in
the chairs and others curling up in con-
venient places on the floor.
The steamer was due here last evening
at $50. When she did not arrive anxiety
began to be felt by persons in this city
who had friends coming from Philndel-
phis. The Brandywine left Chester at $50
o'clock last evening and that,was the last
heard OF her until this morning when her
familiar lines appeared round the turn in
the river and she footed a welcome to
those on the wharf.
The fog on the river was thicker last
night than It has been for. years and years
and the captain who knows his business
figured it would be better to anchor rather
than take any chances OF striking some
thing.
The passengers we're served meals by
the beats officers and part OF the night
was spent in enjoying an Impromptu
musical. There was very little sleep for
many Of the passengers.

OPPOSE MOVING
OF THE OFFICE

Since the announcement made by
the Water Commissioners that arrange
ments were being made TO renovate the
old pumping station at Sixteenth and
French streets. for Office for tho Water
Department force. there has been much
discussion among the residents Of the
city, particularly those residing in near
the centre of it, over the contemplated
change.
The Water Department must vacate
its present quarters i'm the old Federal
Building at Sixth and King streets
as tho United States engineer is de-
sirous OF occupying it.
Many think that the City Mills sta
tion is entirely too far away from the
center OF the business section and will
make II inconveniont for many tax
payers to go TO Sixteenth and French
streets to pay their water rents or
whenever they have business 10 trans
act with the board. Just where the
department could move. however. is a
question. as all the buildings occupied
by the city arc filled TO their capacity
and some Of them arc cramped for
quarters.
The need Of new City Hall was
never more apparent than now. and
advocates of such a building are get
ting their forces together to agltatc
the question. It is not believed. however
that the Legislature would pass o
bin this session providing for such a
building. The Water Department de-
sires the city to issue the balance Of
the bonds provided by the Legislature
for the completion Of the water sys-
tenn and to add several hundred more
thousand dollars to the city's indebt-
edness for "A new City Han can hardly
be thought OF at this time
