FARM VILLAGES.
PLANS DIUST CHANGE.
A.D TBES WE PROSPER.
(W. J. Nortben in Southern Uultiyator.)
Some little time since I wrote an
article for The Southern Cultivator
about farm villages. The article
has been very generally copied
and approved by the press at the
South. Indeed, the plans submitted
have met with such general favor
and the demands for such change
seem so imperative, that I feel in
clined to discuss the subject a little
more at lenght.
I call attention to the following
ends to be met :
1. Intelligent, cultured! farmers
are not willing to isolate themselves
in the seclusion of the country, and
such farmers will abandon their
farms before they will consent to
rear their families in localities
without social, educational and re
ligious advantages. If this be true
agriculture at the South, will be
finally abandoned to fuch farmers
as are compelled, from necessity and
not Induced by choice, to ramain
on the farm.
2. The peculiar conditions ol
our society demand some security
and protection from tbe lawless and
violent not found in sparsely settled
rural districts.
ii. Our farmr, at the South, are
entirely loo large to induce inten
sive larming, and this condition
keeps our system under expensive,
wasteful ana runions methods. I
know of no better plan to get our
farmers down to intensive methods
inaii unuer iue piau proposed in
in.y 6Uggestions about farm villages
Fivse are the main poiuts to be
iiK'tj and they are, in my judgment,
imperative.
It is quite evident that educated
young men aie abandoning the
farms, aud this tendency will con
tiuue to increase as tbe conditions
grow gradually worse. A greater
necessity for some such change as
that suggested will be found in tbe
absence of protection for farmers'
families as they now live. No man
Who properly cares for the weaker
people of bis home is content o
leave them without protection, ex
posed to the peculiar dangeis that
s ii round them uuder our present
farm conditions.
These troubles can be met and
tbe further advantages of intensive
farming can be secured by gather
ing the farmers into localities easily
accessible to their farms, and at the
same time, furnishing them such
social, educational and religious
advantages, nuder proper protec
tion, as are absolutely necessary
for the advancement of tbe people
aud the prosperity of the section.
Farm villages are not an expeii-
meut. All the farming in Europe
is done by people who live in com
munities contiguous to their farms
The scheme is far beyond an ex
periment, and it is settled by years
of approved success as the best so
lution of agricultural difficulties.
The main question after having
accepted tbe idea as practical is
how is tbe matter to be put into
shape? This question I discussed
iu former article, but to be a little
more specific, I would advise the
project as a business enterprise.
A company of citizens nnite and
subscribe to a capital stock of one
huodred thousand dollars to bnild
and eqnip a cottou factory After
constructing the building and set
ting up proper machinery, the com
pauy will erect forty or titty nice,
attractive cottages as homes for tbe
operatives. This makes a manu
facturing village run by a corpora
tion. Now apply the sacue methods,
purchase 5000 acres of land and
suitably lay it off into one hundred
acre lots, all toucbiug upon same
ceutral point at which the employes
vitb their families can occupy the
homes aud tbe corpotation, if you
please, can run the farms as tbe
corporation runs the factories,
making the tenants or employes
participants in the results with the
prospect of eventual phi chase.
If some such plan should be
adopted in tbe ;outbern States
and tbe farms run on shares by the
companies establishing them, or
gold outright to the colouies settling
upon them, there is hope of build
ing up our rural districts If, ou
tbe other hand, we leave these in
terests to take care of themselves
it is only a question or limited Um?,
in my candid judgmeut, betore the
rural districts at the Sonth will be
abandoned to the thriftless, indo
lent population who have but little
care for their own development or
tbe good of tbe State.
If we prosper we roust, make
many radical changes ia oar plans.
A Charm of Youth.
If yonnz people only knew it,
nothiDg recders tbem chradrsg
as a beautiful deference to their el
ders. TLe girl who aa naturally as
a flower to the too, turns to her
father and mother, DticipatiDg tbeir
wishes sod yielding her own desires
in ready consent to their will, is sim
ply irresistible. Tbe stronger tbe
nature the finer and sweeter it
becomes if this grace of obedience
give it its Goal and crown'mg charm.
Foreigners understand this as oar
American girls do not, or shall we
say ss American mothers fail to dol
The pretty Eoglish girl looks op to
mamma for direction and accept
mamma's guidance in perfect docil
ity until her wedding day. The
German, tbe Swiss, the French, tbe
Italian girl of good lanolly, is solic
itous to please her mother, and
wears the grace of Glikl courtesy as
if it were a decoration. The man
ners of oar young country women
are often at fault in this regard.
"How onamiahle, crude tud unin
formed is the younger Miss Han
som,' said a dignified Dutch matron
to the writer, In criticiem of a young
lady born with the traditional 6ilver
spoon and educated in one of our
best seminaries. ' 'Her tone of pat
ronage, and her supercilious air in
addressing her mother, mark ber a
insufferably illbred."
Girls little know when they snub
their mothers or assert their inde
pendence of these older, wiser heads,
bow disagreeable an impression 1 heir
conduct makes. Tbe young man
looking for a wife will do well to
avoid the pert, flippant young wom
an In her teens or her twenties who
fancies that she is sufficient in her
self and scorns the advice of her
mother.
Character is often in!u't,'.d by
apparent trifle. The girl who
brings a shawl to wrap around her
mother's shoulders, who sl'i.s a
cushion in the precise angle lo re
ceive a tired back, or remembers a
bassovk for her mother's feet, will
one day make a loving wife to the
mrvn whose heart shall safely trust
in Ler. She will do )ou good, and
i:ot evil sll tbe days of her life.
For true wearing qualities, warran
ted lo last through all stress o!

The Reason Why.
(Durham San.)
One reason why women are con
tlnually overdoing ibMr strength,
and, In consequence, becoming con
Armed invalids, is that they will not
s-ive themselves work in many ways
when just as well as not the same ef
fect would be gained with half thr
physical and mental labor.
For instance, so mary housekeep
ers Imagiue that In older to have
their home plck and span each week
every room must te given over to a
thorough sweeping and ovcbauling,
that means the entire disarrangement
of every article of furniture, evtry
strap of bric-a-brac or fancy draper',
and a going over that leaves a worr.

boune, to grett the bread-wiuiitr no
his return at night.
I do not advocste untidiness;
fer be it from us to instill the ideas
that a pile of litter, dost snd a con
fused melange of furniture is com
fortj hut even that would be better
than the wearing out process that so
m&ny womeD think essential to thor
ough housekeeping.
i know a tome tbe very pink of
!iOntnt8?, tha. is not swept once &
month.
Do not raise our hands in holy
horror, ye tidy army of women, but
wait until ou hear how it is dore,
and then do thou go and do likewise.
In an ordinary dust psn ia fitted a
handle long enough to permit of its
use without stooping. A little broom,
such as jour children play house
with, yet posessiog the east-giving
length of handle, Is the side partner
of the dust pan. 'ibee two are
these two ar used every naomio?,
and in connection with a large
square of soft flannel to wipe

order. By 11 o'clock every
thing is as tidy as any housekeeper
could desire, and a bright, freh act

calls, sews or shops in tbe afternoon

tired to talk."
CARRYING MAILS
IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
A POSTAL MUSEUM.
vGoidcn Day.)
A space has beeu cleared :u fbe
buildiug of tbe potoH'ice depa-t
ment In Washington for a postal
museum, which is intended to bow
bow different natious carry The
mails. Many foreign government
have already forwarded to Wash
ington exhibits of tbeir methods,
which consignments include con-
tumes of letter carriers, which in
Europe are very gorgeous and
military, specimen letter boxe,
miniature mail vehicles, enpeib
photographs of loreign pontollices,
statuettes representing people en
gaged in transporting mail altei
various lahiou, and many other
interesting thing.
From India comes a set of finely
executed figures in papier mache.
Oue ol tbem shows a postal ruuner
in British India carrying a bag of
letters, aud with a long spear in his
band; from which little bells dangle.
The weapon is for bis defense
against the wild animals that in
fest the jungle through which he is
obliged to pass, though one would
think it a poor tool for coping with
a striped tiger of Bengal, while the
bell aie intended to frighten cohra
and other veuoinou serpents.
A no her ?t:ituette represents the
same lunner iu the act of paddling
across a stieam in his customary
manner, on a raft made simply of
four big corked j irs of earthenware
fastened together.
Other mail carriers are seen
ridiug on camels, which easily
travel eighty miles a day, or in
light carts drawn by Indian buf
faloes over rough roads where
horses could not go.
Austria has sent au exhibit
eompri-mg everything imaguable
that has to do with the business of
carrying t tie mads, even to post
mark stamps, ink pads, and the
written music of the bugle call by
which the postmen m that country
anuonnce their arrival
OaD.da has sent a set of mail
carries' uniforms, with winter cape
aud collars of real Astrakan fur,
Ir-ather leggings, scarlet chamois
skin under waistcoats lor cold
weather, and gold buttons.
Italy, Spam, Germauy, France
aud Switzerland have sent contri
butions for the museum. So have
Russia. Turkey and Persia, amF
others are expected from elsewhere.1
In tbe museum will oe illustrated
various primitive methads of carry
ing tbe mails now and in arcient
times. One model will show the
native postal runner of South Af
rica, who bears the let'er intrusted
to his care in a split stick, which he!
plants up ntrht in the ground when
he pauses to rest. He consumes litt le
foo l, but much tobaec; and his
endurance is wonderful. He wears
no clothes, but covers his naked
body with oil, afterwards rolling in
the 'ust, so that 'be flies will find
him too unpleasant to bite. He
carries the letter in the manner
described, so that it will not get
greasy; aud, while swimming with
one hand across the stieam, holds
the missive out of water with tbe
other.
Anotbei type shown will be ihe
messenger of Scriptural times fie
quently referred to in the Bible,
who conveyed royal messages by
word of month. It is incredible
how swiftly information or oiders
could be transmitted In this way
across the country, every man being
obliged by law to immediately tor
sake his occupation and run and
tell the next person along the line
of communication.
Tbe Bedouins practice this
method of conveying intelligence at
the present day. II there is news
for an individual, each one who
bears it communicates it to all his
neighbors; and they spread it in
every direction until the mau is
found for whom it is meaut.
Other models in tbe new museum
will renresent tbe wonderful postal
couriers who carry royal messages
in China. They art the most rapid
riaers in tbe world, and have been
known to make tb entire distance
of three thousand miles from Lassa,
the capital of Thibet, to Fekin, iu
twenty-hive day.
Tbey have a right to seize, b
imperial requisition, auy boises on
their routes, no matter to whom
the animal belongs. One hundred
miles a day is about the average
rate of travel.
They eat and sleep but little, die-
