The superiority of female students, both children and adults, has teen mentioned and explained hundreds of times, and yet the full pedagogic sienifieance of the fact still seems to be ignored. . The girls in many a co-ed ncational college furnish an overwhelming per centage of the best students, and yet in later years the men take the lead in every one of the lines in Which as bovs they were so backward. It is due to the well-known fact that in her weaker physical state self-protection has demanded an early develop ment of the perceptive faculties. Age for age, girls perceive under standing what , boys scarcely no tice. The difference between the two sexes is so great tha,t it la unscien tific to class them together, and there is a growing suspicion that each is injured by current co-educational methods, the boys unduly stimulated and the girls retarded. In spite of this self-evident conclu 3i id, pedagogues seem bent upon the impossible task of making the boys keep up with the girls a plan sure to be followed by far reaching re sults. The boys are liable to become discouraged, while the girls are led to embark upon careers as wage earn ers in professions in which failure is inevitable. Unwitting Blander. A.

CURE OF ECZEMA I WILL DIE AT HOME' AND DANDRUFF By One Box of Cuticura Ointment and One Cake of Cuticura Soap. Head Perfectly Clear. "I am pleased to inform you that I hare been cured by Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Since I wu a boy I have suffered with dandruff, not only from the itching but .from its dUagmsablo appearance in a scaly form all over my head. I had to brush it off my clothes all day long. I used every kind of prep aration supposed to cure dandruff, also and shamnoos. but it seemed to me that, instead of improving with these remedies, the dandruff increased, even my hair began to fall out and the result was that two months ago eczema developed on my scalp. - " 1 suffered so rrom tms inac aa a last resource I thought I would try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. They had the most gratifying results for I had used only one box of Cuticura Ointment and a single cake of Cuticura Soap when I wa3 cured, the eczema and dandruff were gone and my head perfectly clear. "I can assure you that so long as I live no other soap than Cuticura will be used by me and all those near to me. I will also add that I will always use Cuticura Ointment as a dressing for the hair. I feel that you should know of my cure and if you desire you may use this as a true testimonial which comes from a sufferer of thirty years' standing.

Desperately determined not to be the first man from Buncombe county to die in the electric chair at Raleigh, James B. Allison, the eluyer of Floyd McGee, and under sentence to die February rtcted that Mr. Mitchell go op town aud purchase the requested shirt and ci liar. Allison walked to the rear of the cell and Mr. Mitchell turned to leave the building:. Itstantly Al lison drew from some place, probably his mouth, a pen-knife with a keen blade about one and one-half inches in length. He threw his head back and made a vicious lunge at his throat. Some prisoner in another cell nearest Allison' cried out that the man was cutting bis throat. yoicKiy Mr. Milebell turned and 24, made a vigorous effort to cut his throat in the county jail this morning jammed the key info the lock, swung shortly after 6 o'clock when inform- f ock tbe heavy Iron door, threw tbe ed bv officers to eet ready for the 'ever and bher Iff 'Hunter and. Mr. Williams rushed In. During these few seconds Allison wag standing with head thrown back and digging at his throat with: the knife. He failed to reacb the jugular vein, how ever, before being overpowered. Sheriff Hunter, upon reaching the man with Deputy Williams at his side, grabbed the upraised arm of tbe condemned man and the knife fell to tbe floor. Mr. Williams in stantly threw his arms around Al lison's waist and the man was over powered. He was bleeding profuse ly from the wound. County Physi cian D..E.

He found that the throat was badly hacked; that a gash prob ably four or five Inches in length and one and one-half inches deep had been inflicted. Allison made no comment on tbe acL While the physician was dressing and sewing tbe hurt he was quiet and indiffer ent with never a groan or a word. Tbe wound is not fatal. !

He wrote or caused to be written a f letter to tbe city editor of the Gazette-News Jn which he declared that he was sat isfied; only that he wished be could have "killed that woman (Ella Whetler) who lied to me so much." The letter follows: Mr. Sock ton: ' J'Dear Sir. As I wish to make a full statement as to the killing of Mc Gee in order that the papers may get it straight I herein state to you that we had been at outs for over a year about tbe Wheeler woman. And when he got me hemmed up at her home about ten days before I shot him, and made me ruojout the back door, in order to come down stairs I had to face him with a pistol in his hand as tbe woman had let him in the front door. And moat every day after that when he would pass me he 1 3 I . woum mugn at me ana make re marks about it.

Kin mat woman mat uea to me so much, I tried to avoid trouble with him for over a year, but he wouldn't let me alone and 1 bad rather be killed than to let a man like him run over me.

I don't in tend that they Bhall drag me about and make a show out of me. I will die game here. I don't intend to represent Asheville in the electric chair of Raleigh by being tbe first me to go there from here. "Yours truly "J. B. Allison." The letter, sealed and unopened, jcas picked up by Deputy Sheriff Williams after the suic dal attempt mis morning ana giv.n to ine per ton to whom it was addressed. The statement was made by tbe officer that the letter was written last night. tt was evidently intended fur publi cation and as a post-morten state ment. Am. ii .1 i A . a a a.

Tbe at tempt at. suicide wa9 unsuccessful, although the condemed man did sue ceed in cutting a gash in his throat probably one and one-half inches deep and four or five inches in length. Allison's effort to end his life in Bun combe rather than in the electric chair at Raleigh was made in the presence of tbe sheriff of tbe county and two deputies. .' It was perhaps the coolest and most carefully plan ned and determined attempt to frus trate the mandates of the law in the history of North Carolina. " It was determined yesterday after noon by Sheriff Hunter that the con demned man be taken to Raleigh this morning. It was believed that Allison had in bis possession a pen knife; also that be had been "n formed that he was to be taken to Raleigh this morning. The officers bad been told that Allison had made the i declaration that he would not go to the State capital for tbe electric j chair; that before he would go be would either take hia own life cr kill an officer and : force some other officer to kill him in an effort to ever- power him. Realizing that Allison was a. desperate man and knowing that be would attempt to put Into ex cution his determination, the sher iffs force was puzzled to know just which course to pursue: Whether to go into tbe cell and make a search for the knife, thus putting him on guard and then run the risk of Alli son hanging himself last night or otherwise ending; his life, or whether it was best to permit the man to stay unmolested in his cell and over power him this morning if he at tempted self-destruction. Thi3 latter plan was adopted. Everything was quiet at the jil last night, . the only unusual incident being the writing by Allison of tbe letter giving a ver sion of the killing and the intense bitterness of heart that held the con demned man. . Sheriff Hunter in company with Deputy Sheriff Williams and Deputy Sheriff Mitchell went to tbe county jail about 6 o'clock this morning for the purpose f removing Allison from tbe ail and taking him to Ral eitfh on the early morning train. When the officers made their visit to Allison's cell and notified him that be was to go to Raleigh, the prisoner made smiling' reply and requested that he be permitted to change bis ebirt and collar before making tbe journey. Allison at tbe time was in a separate cell and the key to the door of that cell was in the posses sion of Mr. Mitchell. The quiet and unassuming manner of the prisoner and his evident decision to go to Raleigh without trouble for tbe moment disarmed the officers and re moved any suspicion that Allison meant trouble.

AJlDrawirta Mr. Long Talks oft Work 1st Cataw ba Coatr Petltloa to Ho the La ad Prald. Concord Tribune. Mr. C. E. Long, of Newton, for merly a member of tbe board of com missioners of Catawba county, made a talk before the convention on tbe work, being accomplished y in bis county. Mr. Long stated that be knew of land in his county that tbe owners would gladly have scM for $10 an acre before it was drained, who since the draining of tbe land had refused $100 an acre for it. He said that there were places along the creeks in Catawba county, where people formerly caught large catfish, that were now producing Urge crops of corn. Mr. Long said that they drained seven miles at a cost ot $525 per mile, and U the average cost per acre of $12 50, and that it required 21 days to drain a mile. Mr. Long stated that tbe people of his county haaaocomplished great results from draining their lowlands and the same could be accomplished in this county if tbe people would get together and push the work. Messrs. W. M. Long, chairman of the board of county commissioners of Mecklenburg county, J. S. Mayer, J. Q. Shannonhouse and W. S," Pharr. were present as representative from Mecklenburg county, and assured the convention that Mecklenbure would heartily support and co-oper ate with Cabarrus In this great move ment. In tbe course of his remarks Chairman Long stated that in bis opinion there was oue creek in Mecklenburg county that if properly drained would produce enough corn to supply the needs of tbe entire county. Mr. Kestler asked if there were representatives present who would get up a petition to have tbe land drained. Mr. SnakesDeare Harris responded as a representative from Rocky River. Mr. C. A. Morris from Dutch Buffalo. Tbe responses began to come thick and fat and men who live near practically ever stream in the county volunteered to take the initial steps in launching a movement that would result in draining the many acres of fertile land and along the banks of the va rious creeks and streams. Mr. Charles McDonald stated to the convention tbat he could remem ber the time when there were great quantities of feed stuff shipped out of this county, and at tbat time a large amount of it was produced on the fertile acres along the creek 9 that are now unfit for cultivation on account of not being drained properly. The following statistics wilt show as to how large an extent we are falling to produce the necessary food stuff to supply our home needs, all of which and more could eveily be produced on the very lands that are now unfit for cultivation on account of not be ing drained. Tbe amount of bacon, flour, corn, oats and mill feed shipped into Ca barrus county during tbe last twelve months as reported by five of largest dealers in' these articles, together with an estimate of 25 per cent. which amount we think is a. conser vative estimate of the amount han dled by other concerns ot the city.

Baltimore Sun. "One drinking cup," says the Pi oneer Press, ot ?L Paul, Minn., can spead more disease in an hour than a board of health can eradicate in a year." Our contemporary voices a conviction which has long existed in the minds ot those persons who un derstand the genesis of communicable diseases. There should be tbe "in dividual" drinking cup as well as tbe individual toothbush. It was very well for our unscientific ancestors to pass the "loving cup" from mouth to mouth and eat with their fingers from the same dish, but at the pres ent day, when it is known that mor- Dine micro Des Dy the million occupy the mouths and bestrew the skin of sick persons or persons recovering from various deathly diseases, it is time to refine upon our modes of eat ing and drinking. It is known that some peesons in normal health have in their mouths bacteria which be come virulent when transferred to the mouths of others. Oue may be immune to a disease while his deigh bor will be fatally affected by it. Hence the impolicy of promiscuous kissing and the promiscuous use of drinking caps, saltcellars, etc. Every one should have in mind at all times tbe possibility of bis communicating or contracting disease from tbe use in common of various utensils of con- stant utility. It may be In vain to exhort lovers at the ecstatic moment of betrothal to beware of the lethal microbe, but school boards may be i expected to be more rational, so far at least as coocerna the drinking cup now in common use in many public schools. tmly Pill THE FOUR BROTHERS. riiUaBbow Uiul QrswU.

Two things are indicated already by the figure that hare been compiled thus far by the Census Bu reau. One Is that the East is boldincr its own with the West in the increase of pop ulation, and the other is that the cities are running ahead out of all proportion to the country districts. The census officials expect that when the last word of the census ot 1010 is said the Government statisticians will have furnished the sociologists a floe argument with which to develop tbe text: "Back to Nature." It appears that the congested spots are becoming more congested than ever and that the pure air an4 the sun shine of tbe rural districts are less at tractive than ever in comparison. Every city of any size that has been re ported has shows a remarkable percen tage ot increase. Many are araarter and a half again as large as they were In 1900, and several are more than twice as large Up to date the fnll population ot only two States Knode. island acd Oklaho ma has been announced, Oklahoma's in crease was truly wonderful, being 109 per cent , but is due almost en Ural y to new Statehood. Tbe census officials regard the Increase of Rhode Island as more characteristic of the natural growth ot communities similarly situated. It was 28 6 per cent. ' If tbe Rhode Islank increase should be maintained for the entire coantry, in cluding the sparsely settled regions ot the West, the new total would be 6,000,000. The Goveromont statisticians, however, expect that it will be about 00,000,000. Atlanta Journal. Over fifty years ago a Counectieut farmer called unto him his four sous, after the fashion of fathers in story books, and giving seven hundred dollars to each be bade them go their way into the world and make a liv ing. And so they did one journey ing to New Britain, another to Wa terbury, one to Bridgeport and one to New York. Last week the four brothers met again in Middleton at the golden wedding of the eldt6t of them. Each bad his 6even. hundred dollars and about half a million be sides. If this bad been a fairy tale, in stead of a news story straight from human life, one of the brothers would probably have been slain by a drag on, another would have turned into a wicked magician, the third would perhaps hajre been robbed of his treasure, while only one, the young e t no doubt, would have married tbe beautiful princess and have pros pered ever afterward. Or, if this had been a realistic novel, according to Mr. Jauie3, one ot tbe brothers would have turned out to be a ne'er do-well, two of them indifferent and unheard of while only one ot them would have got rich. But for four boys of tbe same fam ily to go through life, all of them proving equally successful, all of them making the most or their op portunities and doing so, each in the same way, this is a rare and inter esting thing. It happens not Infre quently that all tbe sons of a family will achieve success of one kind or another but for the most part it is in widely different fields. One of them may become a good business man. another a scholar or artist; if one in clines to study, the other will likely go in for an out door, active life. Heredity is supposed to cast the children of one father and mother in likeness of feature and mind. But the differences amoner children of one home are as a rule even more strik ing than their resemblances. When these four prosperous, hap" py old brothers camo together after half a century to find each other equally wt II to-do each of them must have been a bit surprised at tbe other.

"They've already settled a lot of things our Socialist friends are trying now to get the rest of us advanced enough to accept. They're so pro gressive in these things that they're clear back in the beginning again. For instance, they've got George Meredith's 10-year trial marriage beat by a 1-year experiment. It's very successful, too. And divorw that's the simplest thing in the world with them and quite fair to the woman. "It doesn't happen very often, but when it does the community steps In to see 'that there's fair play. The buknana, or chiefs, . act as judges in the matter; not to decide whether they have a right to part thut is entirely a personal matter for them to settle but to see that there's a' fair division of tbe children and the property.

There were f jur children, so tbat was all right, too. I don't know what would happen if there were three or five in such a case; perhaps they'd resort to a Solo mon judgment. . "At any rate, the hitch came in the question of the house. There was only one of it and naturally both needed it. Of course, you think the . man should have tiven way, but woman's equality U too absolute out there for them to have any non sensical notions about chivalry. "Well, it ended quite pcacably, at any rate. In their honeymooniug days they had built tbe housa logit ti er, so now they simply repeated tbe performance with equal labor banging a second little wooden hut with a shaggy rofovrr their perpendicular -comote bjd. Whether they were re united by this reminder of their youth and early love is more than I can say though, of course, that's the proper sequel to the tale.
