You may talk about your street c.rs and your ridin' on the train, But I'll take mine out in 'cycling when there is no snow or rain ; 'Cause a feller then goes glidin' just like the air was greased, And it fills you with a ticklin' just like before you've sneezed. Then it draws out all the sweetness and the vigor in the air, nd it stuffs it in your system and just simply leaves it there ; nd if you're sick and triflin' from pleasure, work or sin, That sorter takes and lifts you from the hole that you've got in. And it makes vou strong and healthy, and it fits you for your work, And it makes you want to hustle in the place of grunt and shirk It makes you fit your clothing, 'cause it makes you ant to eat Makes fat meat good as honey and makes sleepin' just as sweet. So I don't take no more sea-shore, with its 'skeeters and its sand, And the very ancient maidens who are not much in demand : And when for tun and physic others seek the mountain air, I just ride my old bicycle, and I guess i get my share. Sain Ban in Charlotte Observer. The Fastest Time Ever Made by a Railroad Train. Selected. The Pennsylvania railroad's line to Atlantic City had a record-breaking run recently made by the special news paper train from Philadelphia to the popular seaside resort. The ferryboat to catch the train put out of the slip at Market-street wharf, Philadelphia, at ') :30 a. m. precisely, and fifty-one and a half minutes thereafter the train came to a stop in Atlantic City station. The train left the station in Camden six and a quarter minutes after the de parture from the Philadelphia, side, so that the actual running time was only forty-five and three-quarter minutes, the distance is fifcy-eight and three- teenths miles and the average speed was seventy-six and one-half miles per hour. This is the fastest time ever made between the Deleware and the Atlantic Ocean and is actually the fast est time ever made by a railroad train for the distance. From Winslow to Absecon, twenty-four and nine-tenths miles, an average speed of eighty three miles per hour was sustained. The fastest single mile was made in lorty- one seconds, which is an average of eighty seven and eight-tenths miles per hour. This is the most notable perlormance in railroad speed which has vet been made. Cure For Headache. As a remedy for all forms of Head ache Electric Bitters has proved to be the very best.

O, THURSDAY, LUG.WELLSJA350TJBCS OFJ f. DISEASE. A Ccnvincing and Striking Ezan ple Water frcra a Scnrce Inac cessible to Surface Impuri ties the Only Safe Supply. X'-ir Berne Journal. It will be rememlered that when the water works were about to be construct ed and the source of supply was lein considered we took the position that if the right kind oi water could be ob tained from bored wells that extended into the rock with which New Berne and the country around is under-laid, that the supply thus obtained would, in our belief, be preferable to any oth er. A running stream or spring might be all right, at the beginning, but being exposed, there was no telling when something might happen to contami nate it and it would be possible that the contamination might not be dis covered until evil results followed. On the other hand, water coming out of solid rock, far below the surface of the earth, if found pure and good for all purposes to begin with, could be relied upon to remain so, because it would be beyond the reach of influ ences that would work its injury. Local physicians have educated the people to some extent on how impuri ties on the earth's surface may sink into the soil and render dug wells at a considerable distance off unsafe for drinking purpose, though the taste of the water might still not be so affected as to cause its discontinuance. This act is becoming so impressed upon the minds of the people that bored wells are to a large extent supplanting dug ones even on the farms wdiere once the atter were almost the universal source of supply. We have just come across a striking, convincing and most remarkable exam ple of disease lurking in the clear and apparently good wrater of a dug well and spreading contagion and deatli throughout a neighborhood. The cir- I cumstance is narrated in "Water Sup- y," a periodical whose mission of edu cating people along this important line is indicated by its name. The incident narrated is that some years ago a farmer by the name of Dan iel Dodds living in Washington coun ty, l'a., took typhoid fever and died. During his illness a neighbor came to haul and cut some wood for him and while at it drank water from a "dug" well near the house, from which the family obtained its supply. In a short time he took the fever and died. The funeral of Mr. Dodds was attend ed by many of the neighbors and the day being warm, many of them drank of the well the water appearing to bo be clear and fresh, some of the more cautious did not drink of it however, fearing contagion. Of the number who drank of the water 20 afterward took the fever and several died of it. Of those present at the funeral who did not drink oi it none took it. The above was given to the paper publishing it by a son of the man who had kindly help ed his neighbor and lost his life by dnnkinfc of the water. Occurrences of the above kind are calculated to make people think often when it is too late. The fact is that no well or "spring" water w hich is come-at-able by surface drainage is safely fit for drinking. Fever germs will remain dormant lor months in cold water. Freezing seems to have no effect on them. The only safe thing to do is to make certain that the source of supply is from a depth totally unaffected by surface contamination. A single case of typhoid fever in a house from which the sewerage goes into a stream may result m hundreds of cases months afterward and miles jmd miles away down the stream, it the water is used for household purposes.

EXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO. Sgdesand Advice ItoIiPr:asta Har rscnj Ancng Church Ambers. Sdreted. 1st. To remember that we are all 1 subject to failings of one kind' or an other. 2nd. To fear with and not magnify each others infirmities and fhort com ing. 3rd. To pray for one another and to have a brotherly love. 4th. To always turn a deaf ear to any slanderous report, and to lay no charge against any one till well found ed. 5th. It a brother be in fault to tell him of it in private before it is men tioned to others. Gtn. If a member has offended, to consider how glorious and God like it is to forgive, and how unlike a christ ian it is to revenge. 7th. To remember that the devil is always glad to promote distance and animosity among members of churches and we should therefore watch prayer full' and to guard against it. 8th. To consider how much more good we can do wdien we are united in love and exert a forgiving spirit, then for our Lord Jesus Christ saith do all the god we can, to all the people we can, by all the means we can, in all the places we can, as lonj as ever we can. Let us also remember "There are lonely hearts to cherish, While the days are going by. There's no time for idle scorning, While the days are going by. Let your face be like the morning, While the days are going by. The world is full of sighs, Full ot ead and weeping eyes, Help your fallen brother rise, While the days are going by." Oh ! my brethren, all who profess Christianity, let us not have a mere profession, but rouse ourselves from a cold, indifferent state, buckle on the armor of faith, and add to it virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, god liness, brotherly kindness, charity, and we are promised that if these things be in us we will neither be barren nor un fruitful. Then don't settle your dear selves down in a state of complete disregard and be unmindful of your christian du ties, thinking you are safe because your names are enrolled on some church book, that you go to your accustomed place of worship every Sabbath, hear the word preached, sing a song or so and go through some outward form or ceremony. Remember, my brother, your little bark on the sea of life, sail ing so smoothly, undisturbed, will en counter a storm soon, whose waves, lashed into tury, will force j our little bark a wreck on the shores ot Eternity. Then be up and doing while it is called today for the night cometh when no man can work. Which Class is Yours ? Oliver Wendell Holmes says : "The human race is divided into two classes those who go ahead and do something and those who sit and inquire why it wasn't done the other way" It is a striking fact that the mere lookers-on always know just how everything ought to be done, but their ideal is so exalted that thev never do anything but sit and admire it and the achievements of others. It is far better to accomplish something useful in an humble way than to dream all the time of great things which are never done. Thomas Carlisle, thinking along the same line, said : "Know what thou cant work at, and work at it like Hercules. That will be thy better plan." The Discovery Saved his Life. Mr. (. Caillouetre, druugist. Beav ersville, 111., says: "To Dr. King's Xew Discovery I owe my life. Was taken with La Orippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told I cou ld not live. Having Dr. King's Xew Discovery in my store I sent for a bot tle and began its use and from the first dose began to get better, and after us ing three bottles was up and about again. It is worth its weight in gold. We won't keep store or house without it." Get a free trial at E. T. White head fc Co's Drug Store. MAY 2. 1895. ad vies tc tcu:t3 its:;. Eight Sicellen. Surcr.::us by tho late Pr:f. J. Stuax: Black: o. SfU-rttd. 1. Never indulge in the notion th.it you liHve any ubo!uu rit;ht to -h ; t'iC phere or the circuti.-t.wu-e- in which you are to put f"rth your p"-.v-' er- of social action, bt let your daily wi-lom of life be in trakinc a gl ne of the opportunities given you. 2. We live in real and a solid a: d truthful world. In such a world oniy truth, in the long run, can hope to; prosper. Therefore avoid lies, mete , how and sham, and hollow superficial- i I ity of all kinds, which is at ! t a painted life. Let whatever you an', j and whatever you do, grow out of a ! firm root of truth and a strong soil of j reality. j 3. The nobility of life is work. We live in a working world. The idle and j lazv man does not count in the plan of i campaign. "My father workrth hith erto, and I work." Let that text le enough. 4. Never lorget Paul's sentence : "Love is the fulfilling of the law." That is the steam of the social machine. 5. But the steam requires regula tion. It is regulated by intelligence end moderation. Healthy action is al ways a balance of forces and all ex tremes are dangerous, the excels of a good thing being often more danger ous in its social consequences than the excess of what is radically bad. G. Do one thing well ; "beanpole man," as Chancellor Thurlow said, "do one thing at a time." Make clean work, and leave no tags. Allow no de lays when you are at a thing : do it and be done with it. 0. Avoid miscellaneous reading. Read nothing that you do not care to remember, and remember nothing that you do do not mean to use. 8. Xeyer desire to appear clever and make a show of your talents before men. Be honest, loving, kind and sym pathetic in all you say and do. Clev erness will flow from you naturally, if you have it ; and applause will come to you unsought from those who know what to applaud, but the applause of fools is to be shunned. Let Them Heturn. Lexington Dispatch. Quite a large number of Democrats were led off last election by the fusim infatuation with the hope that they would better their condition; but in the light of many things that have transpired since the ides of last Novem ber they have at last got their eyes open and clearly see what an awful mistake they made. Surely no man who voted the fusion ticket last Novem ber, and who was formerly a Democrat can claim that the fusion crowd have in any wise come halfway up to what they promised the people. Let the people be honest with themselves. The fusion Legislature was not an improve ment on the Legislatures the State has had under Democratic rule ; every man who has kept up with the proceedings of the late Legislature knows full well that it was a failure ; then why not let those who strayed off from the Demo cratic party return to the fold? Yes, by all means let them do the manly act and return to the Democrat ic party which has given this State an honest, fair and square government. A Pointer for the South. Bolt i in or r Xf-v. It is estimated that the South spends annually the sum of .flOO.A0,0M for products, ho'-es and mules, which could be raised with greater profit in that section than elsewhere. The bulk ol this vast sum goes to the West to pay for grain and meats. Before the war the South Raised its own corn and provisions, and an agitation has !-en started to return to that custom. If lecS cotton were produced and more acreage was devoted to other crop, the financies of Southern farmers would le in better shape at the end of a season. Eve, with all the fruits of Eden blest, rather than leave that one unknown lost all the rest. Moore.
