American Girls in Armenia.

the auspices of the American Board of
Foreign Missions (Congregationalist.

Van, a city of 80. 600 inhabitants. They
found the women of Armenia woefully
ignorant and downtrodden, and their
effort to educate them was met at first
with strong disapproval on the part of
the men. By liberality and tact. they
have finally won every body over. and
at their last examinations the Sultan
himself sent them his congratulations
and good wishes by his highest official.
They began with sixteen pupils. They

taken place in the condition of women,
and said in conclusions:
"What is to be the outcome of this

Columbia College seems likely to es-
tablish an "Annex'' for young wom-
en-. This is good sign. The growth
Of the movement for higher education
is shown by the increasing tendency to
set up q branch establishment for
girls by the side Of each big college
that still excludes them. Neverthe-
less, the annex system can be only
temporary. 1t is lop-sided and illog-
ical. So long as the branch establish
ment is distinctly an annex. an off
shoot and an afterthought affording
less conveniences and facilities than
the college proper. it is unfair to the
girls. And when it is proposed to
make the annex an Independent COL

why then. as the New York lndspcnd-

two equal institutions. equally expcn-
sive, to do the same work, one for
young men and the other for young
women, who could perfectly we'll be

reason"
The reductio at absurdums of the sys-
tenn is to be found in such case as oc-
CURED few years ago at Harvard.
The elective class in Sanskrit at the
university consisted of one young man;
the elective class at the annex. of one
young woman. The Sanskrit pro-
lessor had to give every lecture twice
over. each time to an audience of one,
because the traditions of the venerable
university did not admit of those two
students listening to a lecture together.
Human common sense is not going to
stand that sort of thing forever Every
college that says A-Annex-will
sooner or later have to say B-Both
sexes admitted. Meanwhile. an annex
for girls is vastly better than nothing.

Courts Opposed to Liberty.

The decision rendered by the SUI
preme Court OF Wisconsin, January 81,
in the case of Olympia Brown, IS not
unexpected to Massachusetts suffrag-
lists. 1t is in accordance with the
rules of law, as now administered. Be-
fore suit was instituted in Wisconsin.
two eminent legal friends of woman
suffrage in Boston were consulted. at
the request of friends in that State. and
both were of opinion that an adverse
decision would be rendered. One adj
vised against making the contest, the
other recommended that the effort
should be made. None the less. the
decision is wrong in principle. 1t sets
aside the plain literal import of words
in behalf of justice and liberty. in de-
ference TO a supposed intention of the
legislators who framed the law, and .
supposed understanding of the voters
who ratified it. In other words, it gives
the benefit of doubt to custom and
prescription, not to justice and liberty.

WORMS IN HORSES.

How to Expel the Two Kinds Which Are
Most Common.
Intestinal parasites are seldom, if
ever, found in healthy animals. and
their presence are invariably due to a
deranged state Of the digestive organs
and to an impoverished condition.
Worms are found in more or less guam
titles in the stomach and intestines of
all horses, and some of these subjects
appear to enjoy the very best of health
We do not believe that these parasites
are rs often a source of annoyance to
horses as are generally supposed by
horsemen; that they occasionally in
terfere with the health there is no
doubt but those cases are rare. Bad,
unwholesome food. neglect and abuse
produces a deranged state of the di-
gestive organs. and as a result ill
health. which condition is favorable to
the development of worms. OF the
different species of worms which are
occasionally met with in horses. there
are two kinds which are quite common.
namely: The lumbrici. which is about
ten inches long, pointed at each ex-
tremity. and is very similar to our
common earthworm. They are found
in the stomach and large intes-
tines. Treatment: Give spirits of
turpentine. half-ounce, beat up with
two or three eggs, every morning for
week. then give the following cathar-
tic: Linseed oil, one pint; powdered
aloes, six drachms; oil of male fern.
one drachm; sulphuric ether, two
ounces; mix for one dose.
The dose of the above medicine
should be regulated according to the
age, size and strength of the subject
For colts under two years old we
should give, instead of the above. areca
muffin half-ounce doses morning and
evening for two or three days; this
should be followed up with full dose
of linseed or castor OIL 2. The other
species are known as aScarides. They
are from one to one and \ half inches

In a very good letter to the La Porte
Qnd.) Argus. Il. P. Lewis says:
"You intimate that politics might
become more corrupt if women of easy
virtue would be allowed to vote. But
the men who have ruined these wom-
en-, and whose money now supports
them. are voters. and really the most
aggressive politicians We have. True,
it would be admitting another bad ele-
ment into politics, but it would be
more than offset by giving the suffrage
to several millions of reputable wives
and mothers. Query: If men who
associate with disreputable women may
safely be trusted with the ballot would
it be very dangerous to extend that
privilege to their reputable wives and
sisters?

JESSIE MORTON.

Jessie Morton, fair and free;
Blythe as any bird was she;
Singing. laughing. chatting bright
Through the house from morn till night;
Never sharp unrest or smart
Troubled Jessie Morton's heart
Jessie Morton went to town
In a nice new hat and gown;
Thought how happy she would DO
II her lover she should see
And the look of glad surprise
Kindling in his dark brown eyes
But when Jessie Morton came
What pity! what a shame!
As she met him in the church
Re went of with Lucy Perch;
Coolly nodded and was gone,
Left her standing there alone.
Sadder. wiser, home she went,
On single thought intent;
She would send his gifts to town
Ere the evening sun went down.
For between them love was DER;
She would trust him never more.
Willie King was sore distressed,
For he did love Jessie best.
Lucy Perch was but a doll!
Jessie was his all in all.
And he wondered what to do;
How to prove that he was true.
Jessie could not quite forget
Though at heart she loved him yet,
She withheld all kindly grace
Would not even see his face,
All his letters were returned,
Though to read them much she yearEcd.
Willie King fell i'll at last,
Very i'll and sinking fast.
Lucy Perch was filed with fear
For herself-and ne'er drew near;
Jessie Morton, when she heard,
Quickly came without wcrd;
Nursed him with tender care
While he lay SO helpless there.
All her love to him she brought;
All his error she forgot:
Coaxed him gently back to life;
Promised she would be his wife.
Time went on, and Jessie knew
Willie was both fond and true;
And he never gave her pain
BY thoughtless deed again.
Love is love, and hard TO die;
But beware! beware sayI.

Some Interesting Old Documents. Sights
About the Grounds.

There>was something about the sunshine
which streamed through the windows of the
State House yesterday, that enervated even
the recently resuscitated 5. fiy on the
wall The work went on inside how
ever in about the usual manner
though most of the workers looked as if
they would like to stroll beside some babbling
brook, trout rod in hand. From the front steps
of the building the observer could look upon
a busy and attractive scene. On the State
grounds a game of base ball was in
progress and quite number of persons were
strolling about under tile trees. In the street
| Immediately in front workmen were engaged
in digging for gas leaks and judging from
the smell and the remark of one of the work
men they were very successful in
| finding them. The grounds of
| the Park Association were the
scene of much activity yesterday. Teams
and men we're busily at work grading the
new base ball ground, while others were en-
gagged in making the race track. One gentle
association and is very good judge of
such matters, told the Journal man
yesterday that he was surprised to see the
amount of work being done on the park and
especially on the track. There is no
doubt" he said, THAT they are going to have
a race course down there that will equal if
not surpass any track in the State. "
During the time when the reno
waiting of several departments was
being made quite number of old documents
were brought to light, which are made quite
interesting by comparison with those of mod
ern date. Under one of the old rolls of ac-
count. We find that the State paid in 1921 for
bounty to those raising cocoons, ten dollars
and ninety five cents. OF this amount 81. 80
went to the town of Bridgton.
In the year of 1881 S3240.05 was paid as
a bounty on crows at s cents apiece. This
would lead one to conclude that there were
killed that year 10000 and So crows. The
crow is a long lived bird and who knows but
what it was the vision of this identical 3-eths
of a crow that put Poe into such metrical
commissions. Under another head we find
the bill of Vena David for furnishing
candles for the Legislature of 1921.
In 1884 Saco received bounty on two Wild
cats, Foxcroft on fourteen bears, Biddeford
on one wildcat, Orono on fifteen bears, Bel
grade on one, Ellsworth on five, Machias on
six and Calais on sixteen bears. The bounty
then paid on bear the sum OF three
dollars As is well known the present bounty
is five dollars. In the past seven years
1904 bears have earned their slayers
a bounty by dying in the
latters possession. The town of Greenville
received in 1887 bounty on one hundred
and fifteen bears. The following shows the
amount paid as a bounty on bears in each Of
