The SCHOOL SISTERS Notre Dame and the
Christian Statesman have settled the suits Of thu
for mer against the latter. In May, 1873, the
Statesman published an article in relation to the
Sisters which they thought libelleus and they
brought two suits-ono criminal and one for
money damages. The criminal suit was tried a
week or two ago and the jury failed to agree,
standing eight for acQuital and four for convc,
ton. The defendants made no dcfense except
that Notre Dame was corporation, and that q
corporation could not be libelled. And the jury,
in criminal cases, being Judges of the law and the
facts differed as to whether a corporation coald
be libelled, and failed to agree.
After the trial Mr.. Hauser, through the int err
vention Of catholic friend. had an interview
with the Lady Superior, which resulted in an
agre ement that If the defendants, Hansen and
Storey, would publish full reraction, theSisters
would withdraw both suits. In pursuance of
this agreement full retraction was published and
the suits have been withdrawn. Thus ends the
Christian Statesman and Noire Dame libels and
libel suits.

THE POTTER LAW.
POSITION OF WISCONSIN RAILROAD
OFFICIALS,


OFFICIALS,
MADISON, Wis, Feb. II. The railroad
question is still uppsrmos: among nem-
bers Of the Legislature and eutsidsrs, Of
whom there are large number here,
including leading railroad men of the
State. The following statement by
officers of tho different railroads 10
published to day, and produces o good
impression:
To tho Honorable tho Senate and Asseas
6ly.
Efforts are industriously made to misrep
resent the relations of the railroad
companies to the Legislation proposed in
modification Of tine Potter law. They
are represented IS laboring to procure
the unconditional repeal Of that act.
They are accused of indicating NO policy
of their own. and seeking to procure
favorable legislation by secret combina-
tions and coDspiracies. A misunder
standing between the representatives of
the people and of the companies on so
vital subject would be great misfor-
tune. If it il to continue it shall not be
our fault. To say that we do not desire
the unconditional repeal Of that law
would be untrue. To say that we ever
entertained the hope of procuring that
repeal is also untrue. Our position from
first to last has been to get as favorable
legislation as possible in mitigation of
the hardships Of that law. We saw
bill which we were told embodied the
views expressed OF the Railroad Commits
sioners IN their report, and that it was
drawn by them. Many of its provisions
were severe, but, IS it substituted for an
arbitrary tariff fixed by law, Limitation
upon profits, leaving the comparative con-
troll Of their business below that profit,
with extraordinary powers in the Com
missioners over determinations and
unreasonable rates, we determined after
reflection that we would try and live
under it, and make no opposition to its
passage. That bill was subsequently
repudiated by majority of the Com
missioners. They have now presented a
second bill to the Assembly Committee.
1t contains the same cardinal principle,
a substitution Of q Limitation of profits
for arbitrary rates. We have been per-
united to see it, and in open session OF
the Committee we stated in what respect
we thought it wrong, and asked to have
1t amended. It is still with that Cons
mittee. We know nothing of their
probable action. If they should report
the bill with those amendments, we
shall attempt no opposition to it's passage.
If it is reported without them, we shall
appeal to the justice ofthe Legislature to
adopt them.
That is the position we occupy, and 1t
will nctbe changed. If the present law is
continued in force, the absolute ruin of
ell the companies is inevitable; the ruin
of some of them will be immediate an
final. Any statements imputing to these
companies any other position or purpose
than we have indicated, no matter from
what source they come, are untrue.

Space in Planting Corn.

A correspondent of the Country Gen.
tIeman writes: "There is more or less dis
agreement as to the distance corn should
be planted apart, and the number of
stalks in hill. Good crops are realized
from three and a half feet planting,
three to four stalks in a hill Better
have been grown, as l have witnessed,
with the rows four feet apart, including
the hills (Which makes the space be-
tween the hills about three and half
feet, with three to four stalks in hill,
the difference in this case being mainly
in the greater number of ears grown,
usually two to stalk, and large at that,
the larger space between the hills giving
chance for the sun and air to circulate
have also witnessed a growth of corn
where the space between was but half of
that last mentioned. 1t was on soil
which for several years had grown large
crops of carrots, and was especially ia
vorable to corn, being black, highly
manured and deeply rich, well-drained
alluvial deposit. There resulted an inn
mense growth of stalks, but no corn, al.
though it was the intention of the owner,
confidently expressed, TO raise an unusu
ally superior crop. 1t was a failure save
in the amount of fodder it made. In
that it paid, so great was the growth
We want the sun and the fresh air in our
corn as in our fruit trees. The result
being secured, we can plant as close as
we please"

WHEN much fat pork is eaten there will
always be q demand for pickles or vine
gar, says the report of the Massachusetts,
Board of Health. The demand for acid
is genuine call of the system, but
there Is no especial call for the strong
acids, such as raw lemons aud pickles, II
one has from day to day the proper sup
ply of moderately sour fruit. Half of
the doctors would find their occupation
gone If apples were freely used as an ar.
ticle of food. Fruit has never done US
the good 1t might have done, because 1t
has been eaten at improper hours, be-
tween meals or 10 the evening. II has
actually been turned into foe to good
digestion by the process of picking and
preserving. The old.fashioned pound
for pound" preserves are too sweet TO
serve the purpose of acid fruit and too
rich to have the nourshing effect of juicy,
sweet fruit. They are simply sweet.
meats, to be eaten with caution. Canned
fruit is excellent, but fresh fruit is best
whenever it can be obtained. The good
effect of fresh fruit is often spoiled by
the excess of sugar used with 1t.
When there Is craving for sour food,
for pickles or for lemons, 1t is generally
a strong indication that the system has a
real need of acids, and lemons or vinegar
are sometimes the best medicine to cure
biliousness and restore failing appetite.
A year ago saw child pass through
one of these poor spells. He lost his
appetite and could not bear the sight or
smell of food until he caught sight of a
dish of dried-apple sauce, and then he
was possessed with desire for some of
the juice. This seemed to refresh biss
a nd hn nj N Inv hrAo Il
soaked in the juice of stewed dried sp-
Piles. After that canned tomato, cooked
with bread, helped forward the cure.
Before this i'll turn he had for a few
weeks lived almost entirely without fruit,
contrary to his usual habit.
1t is a common mistake to use fruit ct
the table only in the form of sauce at the
evening meal or incased in rich crusts as
pie for dinner. In the latter case the i'll
effect of the pie-crust is often greater
than the good effect of the fruit inside
the pie. AS for the fruit sauce on the
tea-table, it is better than heavy sup.
per of meat, but there is some sense in
the old saying that Fruit is golden in
the morning, silver at noon and lead at
night"
Perhaps any kind of fruit or vegetable
may be used to excess or in too large
proportion as compared with the rest
of the diet. Certainly acids should be
used in moderation, especially the strong
kinds. Because the juice of lemon
may be an excellent cure for biliousness
or f1atulence or other disease, it by no
means follows that schoolgirls can
thrive upon their daily use. In former
days, when pale and slender maidens
were in fashion, it was not very uncom-
mon for silly girls to try to reduce their
weight and ruddy hue by frequent sips
of vinegar, and many a feeble woman
and many an early death has been the
result of such tampering. A variety of
vegetables and fruit, we'll cooked and
eaten as appetite calls for them, will
satisfy the natural demand for both sour
and sweet food-Faith Rochester, in

T8 Start Cuttings.

Cuttings of many plants can be readi-
ly started In water; and in the early
spring, if you have not greenhouse or
hot-bed, il is the safest plan.
Fill small bottles or phials with warm
ish water, remove the lower leaves of
the cuttings Ito be sure to have the bud
at the base), and put them in water
hang up the phial to the window-sash,
tying string about the mouth for this
purpose. If cottonwood Is put around
the mouth of the phial it will prevent
the evaporation of the water and make
the roots sprout more quickly by keep
ing up a more even temperature. Olean
ders can be rooted in this manner; also
hellotropes, verbenas, roses, fuchsias and
all kinds of bedding-Out plants.
The process is so simple that mere
child can succeed with it. AS soon as
the roots are an inch long the cutting
should be transplanted, taking care to
spread out the tiny rootlets as they grow
in the water.
Some fill up the bottle with rich earth
let it dry off for two or three days and
then break the glass and pot or plant out
the cuttings without disturbing its roots
in the least degree. This is the most Ger.
tain way of obtaining plants from cut.
