the ease of Elizabeth X. Sherwood
against the Chicago & West Michigan

lived, and in stepping from the coach
the train gave sudden start, throw
ing her 10 the ground, breaking her left
leg and hip. She alleges that her in
juues cripple her permanently, and
that she is a constant sufferer OF the
Severest pain. Judge Montgomery and
Fletcher * VANITY represent her, while
the railroad is represented by Messrs.
smith, Minus d Hoyt, of Muskegon.
The case was not concluded yesterday,
and will be resumed this morning.

Women in the Garden.

Why not? lave at least three personal
acquaintance who owe much to old Dame
Nature for renewed youth and new beauty of
face and form gained by work in the garden.
Ono is a lady of ample fortune, who loves
her lawn, with its trees and vines and flow
crs us things of beauty. | doubt if the
thought of health occurs to her, but the cf-
feet is patent to all her friends. Another is
Il lovely little woman who has been i'll i'll
health for years. This season, moving to a
new home, where her friends and ucquaint-
ances were scarce, sheer loneliness drove her
to her garden. There the needs of the grow
ing things appealed to her, and day by day
her visits were repeated, until at last all her
morning hours were spent among them,
planting, training, wedding, thinning and
digging. The result is the renewal of health
and strength unknown before for years, and
new happiness and greater content,nent. Tho
third is a good woman whose sorrows seemed
piled mountain high through tho loss by
death within a few months of her husband
and child, and of property as well. Trained
to no work as a girl, she seemed helpless.
Bul her little garden demanded attention,
and her very losses compelled her to work
with her hands. Here, too, the soothing balm
of pure air, exercise and occupation worked
its marvcls in recovered health, contentlnent
and Il spirit of self helpfulness .-Vick's Mag

Rabbit incubation i, Australia.

The feeling among humane people against
the proposed destruction of the rabbits i'll
Australia by the adoption of NJ. Pasteur's
system for exterminatinS them by turning
among them rabbits inoculuted with the virus
Of chicken cholera was general and strongly
expressed. 1t will DO gratifying TO them,
then, to learn that the commission in New
South Wales appointed to examine into the
success of the experiment have issued a pre-
liminary report to the effect that, although
the chicken cholera is fatal to the rabbit i'll
oculatcd, the disease does not readily spread
from animal to animal. AS the whole point
of the experiment was that the disease should
so spread, this report would seem to be n vir-
tual condemnation of tho scheme.
Sympathizing, as every one must do, with
the c~olonists i'll the terrible losses they have
sustained from hordcs of rabbits that liter
ally cat up their land, one can hardly regret
that this special mode of getting rid of tho
pests should AVE failed. 1t is necessary IL
put them down if possible, and 10 word could
be said against this being done by what may
be called the illegitimatc means of gun ant
snare; but to spread cholera among SO vast q
number of animals whose only fault is Then
exceeding fecundity, is contrary to human
ideas. Tho death may not be Il moro painful
one than that of poisoning, but it is tho frs
time, SO far as we know, that man has callet
in disease as an ally, and few people will b,
sorry to hear that the scheme is q failure

4 Good Natured Wife.

The old lady who never spoke ill of any
one, and even intimated that Satan himself
set some good people an example of perse-
verance, must nave been a relative to the
woman who lived in Sussex, England, in the
days wien the kettle was hung from the
crane i'll al open fireplace. An English
Clergyman tells the story:
a man, whose wife was blessed with q re-
markably even temper, went over the way
to Il neighbor one evening and said:
"Ncighbor, | should like to see my vito
cross for once. I've tried all | know, and l
can't make her cross, 10 way"
"You cant mako your wife cross2'' said
his ncighbor. ~ wish l could mako mine
anything else. But you just do what l tell
you, and if that won't act nothing will. You
bring her i'll some night a lot of the crookcdest
sticks you can get, them as won't lie in nc
form, and see how sho makes out Them"
Tho pieces of wood were accordingly
brought i'll, as awkward and crooked .and
