The Inquisitlve Woman.

The}other day on the Amherst rail-
way sat next coarse-voiced woman,
with nose and eyes which looked as if
made expressly for prying into other
peoples business, and a form which in
dicated that she had found the occupa
ton thriving one. Opposite to us sat
a handsome young lady in an elaborate
sage green, with au elegant copy of Mid
dlemarch on her lap. The sharp voiced
woman stared at her very hard, ,fdgetted
a good deal and leaning over commenc-
ed conversation in this way:

VIVA, Breaks Down Young Men.

1t is commonly received notion that
hard study is the unhealthy element Ut
college life. But from tables of the
mortality of Harvard University, collec-
ted by Prof. Pierce from the last trien
NAL catalogue, it is clearly demonstrated
that the excess of deaths for the first ten
years after graduation is found in that
portion OF the class Of inferior scholar
ship Every one who has seen the cur,
riculum knows that where Eschylus and
political economy injure one, late hours
and rum punches use up a dozen, and
the two little fingers are heavier than the
loins of Euclid Dissipation is sure
destroyer, and every young man who
follows it is, as the early flower, exposed
to an untimely frost. Those who have
been inveigled into the path Of vice are
named legion A few hours sleep each
night, high living and plenty of "smash
es" make war upon every function Of the
body The brains, the heart, the nerves,
the lungs. the liver, the spine, the limbs,
The bones, The flesh, and every part and
faculty are overtasked and weakened by
The terrific energy of passion luosenetl
from restraint, until, like dilapida,ed
mansion, the "earthly house of this tab
ernacle' falls into ruinous decay. Fast

Saving Trees from Mice.

We would call the special attention Of
farmers again to the Importance Of pro-
tecting their young trees against the
winter ravages Of mice. The work re
quifad to do this is bat trifling and pays
largely. There are numerous ways for
accomplishing the desired end, but the
most etfectual and convenient we have
ever used was to bank with earth the
trunks up few inches from the surface
Of the ground. A wagon load of dirt
will bank large number of trees, ,and If
rich soil double benefit may be derived
by spreading the same over the roots Of
trees in the spring. a7 a
An exchange strongly urges plan
which we do ndt think as good as the
above,yet we give it for what it is worth
1t says to bandage up the stems of the
old tree with any cotton or wooden cloth,
if of old muslin with two or three wrap.
pings, letting the bandage 60 into the
ground an inch or two, and six or sight
inches above ground, and tie up.
This should certainly be renewed
every autumn if necessary, until the trees
are large enough not to be injured
Those who are in earnest for remedy
will try this and save their trees; but it
will be too much trouble for others to
devote couple Of hours to this labor
annually, and they will rather run the
risk with the mice.

Cumulative Voting In
England.
New York World.1

The election of the Manchester
School Board on the 18th Of Novem
Der furnishes some interesting illustra.
tons Of the practical working of the
8 cumulative vote," device which has
for its principle the securing Of the a0e
quate representation of minorities, but
which also places an instrument of
great power in the hands OF compact
organizations. At this election there
were fifteen candidates to be chosen, and
each elector was at liberty to concen-
trate fifteen votes on single candidate
or to Distribute them as he pleased
There are $4,000 electors in Manches-
ter, but only 1888 Of them voted at
this election Last year, when the
School Board was first chosen. the Roy
man Catholics had but two candidates.
whom they brought in at the head OF
the poll. Finding that they had some
strength to spare; they this year nomin.
ated three candidates, giving them as
nearly as possible FIVE votes from each
Catholic voter. They were quite sue
cessful-two of their candidates being
at the head of the poll, with 3O,572 and
2S,9S0 votes respectively, while the
others stood fourth on the list, with
2S,262 votes. This would show that
out of the q, 1853 persons who came to
the polls about 5000 we're Roman Cath
olics. Under the old system of abso.
lutte majorities this minority would have
been helpless they could have elected
no one; but with the cumulative vote"
