last, in regard to refilndng the debt due in
1890. The plan adopted is substantially that
recommended by the court. and so far as we
can learn is generally satisfactory TO the par

appears to lie is to the ability to re-
fund at the rate Of interest proposed. 1t had
been intimate1 that the present rate of interest
was TO be increased, and could not he otherwise
under the present condition of the money mar
ket Instead, however, it is proposed to re-
fund this debt ut four per cent. with provi>-

increasing the present rate Of taxation, at the
expiration of the lease. The benefit Of paving
the debt will nure to the non-preferrcGi stock

action, the latter having claim upon it. Clark,

matter was Lows and not his. Verdict for plf
for sl0l.75. The Law Court overrulet the motion
for new trial. The following is the rescript:
This case shows that the plaintiff bought of
Francis Low quantity Of hay, upon which the
defendant had a lien to secure a certain claim
against Low. OF this lien the plaintiff had no
knowledge at the time of the purchase. Subsc-
quently and after portion of the hay had been
delivered aud some payments had been made, the
defendant notified the plaintiff of his lien and
claimed that the balance of the proceeds enough
to discharge his lien, should be paid to him, or
upon his lien. In consequence OF this, as appears
by a decided preponderance of evidence. the
plaintiG paid a note on which the defendant was
surety for Low, and which was claimed to be IN
clutie i'll the lien. and two hundred dollars to the
defendant, one hundred dollars of which proved
to he an ovcrpayment by mistake. There is
some conflict in some parts of the testimony, but
our conclusion is that the verdict Is sustained
both by the law and evidence.

Suffrage and Liberty.

The whole adverse argument of wo-
man suffrage really settles into ques-
ton of convenience, and that is one that
may be left to determine itself. For. if
it is really inconvenient for woman to
vote, the permission to do so would pro-
duce no evil result. All that most
of the friends of universal suffrage ask
is freedom. No man is compelled to
vote, but every man may. 1t is left en-
tirely to his own choice. II the princi-
pie that there shall be no taxation with
out representation is correct, there is
not and never has been sound argu-
ment for the Acknowledgement of women
since they have been property holders.
A woman might own all the real estate
upon chief street in village, yet she
can not vote for road overseer. The
history of the movement for suffrage.
like all other great movements in this
country. shows to every youth that he
who is hospitable to liberty ridiculed,
entertains angels unawares. 1t is safe
to heed the counsel of Condorcet: "Do
not choose man who has ever taken
sides against the liberty of any portion
of mankind. "-Cincinnati Gazette.

Where Women Excel.

Women as physicians we are becom-
ing reasonably familiar with. That is,
We no longer consider it out of taste
for lady to be doctor. But women
as surgeons are more rare. In Swift
erland they are pronounced to be the
most proficient in the medical schools
and hospitals. One professor says
The women are particularly dexterous
in handling muscles. Their small
taper fingers give them an advantage
over the males. and their eyes are
quicker to detect details and minutiR."
These two points are strong ones.
Does not all the education and training
OF woman tend to make her ADLER to
observe small details, whereas the train
ing of men works to encourage the
summing up of items; that is, they
argue better, when the woman sees
more exactly. Women are said to
make remarkably apt microscopes.
male students openly oppose the pres
ence Of women, but treat them with the
utmost Difference and respect. Globe

from the brute creation. The most
hardened politician would not have
stultified himself by saying that they
could cast an intelligent vote, and yet
they had voice in the question of the
education OF the youth Of this district.
/ am happy to say. however. that their
voice was not very strong, and that
the better element won the day. II it
had not been for the women's vote, l
may add. this would not have been the
case.
My experience as voter has proved
to me that the objection raised in the
political arena against women voting
that they would encounter too much
roughness at the polls-is will-o'-the-
wisp. l believe that even the worst
class Of fourth-ward voters would
snake way for the ladies'"

INFLUENCE OF FORESTS.
Rivers Running Through Treeless Regions
Said to be Destitute of Trees.

Rivers Running Through Treeless Regions
Said to be Destitute of Trees
Although scientists are not in perfect
accord as to the influence that forests
exert upon climatic conditions, never
theless there is sufficient agreement
among them for US to know that they do
exert powerful and benefcent influences
in many directions. The forest acts
like a great sieve. and retains the fine
particles of the soil. which the influence
of the air and sun, the frost and rain.
and the action of the numberless roots
have decomposed. In all forest coun-
tries the changes of temperature are
not so severely felt as in a treeless
country, or on the open plains, and it is
popular saying that the forest streams
are cool in summer and warm in winter
The forests not only regulate the low
of water, but they purify it. Where
the water of stream has been pol
luted- as by sheep-washing, for in
stance. after having passed for few
miles through a shady and dense forest,
the water appears as clear as it was
previously.
Again, it is thoroughly well estab-
lished that the presence of large tracts
of timber has a well-defined influence
upon the rainfall of the districts in
which they are situated. Certainly parts
of France which have been denuded of
their forests are subjected to disastrous
floods and overfiows, which occur al
most annually and cause great destruc-
ton and distress. although such Wis
itations were entirely unknown in
the previous century while the
forests were as yet in
tact. In our own country. as well, the
same effects have been observed. and
the destruction of forests has proceeded
so rapidly in Prussia of late years that
the Government has passed law pro-
tecting timber. 1t was found that the
climate in many districts was changing.
and the rivers and lakes were becoming
shallow in consequence of the wholesale
cutting away of wood. This feature of
sylvan influence is often adverted upon.
but there is another manner in which
the presence of trees exerts an influence
that is not so generally known
Close observers have aScertained that
rivers running through treeiess tracts
of country are nearly, il not quite. des-
titute OF fish. and that fish will desert a
stream from which the timber has been
removed. although they previously
swarmed therein In the propagation
of fish it is not enough to place the fry
in the water, they must be provided
with food. and the best means TO do this
is to preserve the border trees. and in
sure steady supply of water and food
by preserving the forests whence the
supply o. food is derived. IL new for
ests are cultivated on the barren ranges.
many a stream. now nearly empty dur
ing dry seasons. will be refilled with fish
and food for the many. To see the con-
servation and cultivation of forests. be-
ginning 70 receive even a modicum Of
the attention il deserves is matter Of
rejoicing. - sal5ernsGx
