The Pavonia yachtsmen can endure a
gale, smile st heavy sea, laugh at the
rain, aud are happy when the rail is nm

cannot stand it is the persistent and
voracious mosquitoes. The pests have
been numerous and vigorous this season
in the vicinity of the club house. A
cloud arrived at the club house on Tues
day night and kept the members
busy. The meeting adjourned early. The
members did not finger long after the
meeting closed aud the tiny vampires

Draining Sugar Plantations.

The question of drainage is an exceed.
ingly important one to the cane planters.
Ordinarily drainage is provided by
bitches extending in parallel lines about
60 feet apart and emptying into main
canals. The slope Of the land is usually
gradual, and there are no distractions
to this arrangement. The bitches are
very expensive to keep in order. This
banks must be cleared at intervals from
the weeds, which grow very rapidly and
very large.
The bitches or tiles empty into large
drainage canals, which conduct the water
to the drain wheels. On many plsnta.

removing this water is by the use of large
wheels 30 feet in diameter or larger and
having buckets or feet long. The
wheel is driven by a powerful engine.

gate, a large wheel delivering fully 100
tons per minute. Some idea Of the enor-
nous quantities Of water which must be
removed from plantation Of 200 acres
may be gained from the statement that
it sometimes requires so hours or more
continuous work to accomplish this after
a heavy storm.
In addition to the expense required to
remove the water from the land, the
planters and the state have very heavy
expense in building and maintaining
levees to prevent the encroschments Of
the Mississippi river or bayous. A break
in the levees entails serious loss Of time
and money. The 81: covers the land and
fills the bitches. These latter must be
reopened before the land can again be
cultivated. The high water browns out

A correspondent of Wool and Mutton
remarks: To the south this question of
sheep husbsndry is one of life and death.
Sheep alone can proftably restore her
worn out lands, and they furnish the
only way Of escape from ruin to the cot
ton planter, whose profits have forever
ceased till his cotton is manufactured at
home. The phenomenal success Of the
few who raise sheep properly In the
south proves this to be the most desira-

Woman Suffrage in England.

Springfield Republican.
The Englishwoman already pos
sesses franchise privileges much
greater than her American sister,
in all but a few states Of the Union.
Since 1869 the Englishwoman who
pays rates and taxes has had the
right to.vote in municipal elections
and for county and local boards.
She can also be member of these
boards, that is, school boards, and
boards of guardians of the poor,
but can not be a member Of either
a town or county council.
There is one exception to this
rule, and that is that women do
not have the plural vote. They can
not vote wherever they possess the
requisite property, but only where
they live. They must be "occu-
piers" in the locality where they
vote. Labouchere tried to correct
this inequality by moving to dis
franchise the nonresident proper
ty-holder, regardless of sex, but the
Commons would not consent to
this application OF the one man
one vote principle. This amend
ment will be pressed again on the
ground that while it may be ex-
cusable for one man to have five or
six votes for members of Parlia-
ment, it is less so to be able to help
elect as many different parish
cobncils - distinction without a
very marked difference. Another
amendment to be offered later is
more in line with the woman suff-
rage movement. Its purpose is to
include the wives of workingmen
among the married women to
whom this bill gives the franchise,
and who are now excluded by the
property qualification required.

Better Than Genius.
Casters Magazine.

Casters Magazine.
Regarding her husband Mrs.
Edison says: "He is better than a
genius; he is gentle, patient,
kindly man. People knew him ex-
clusively as an inventor, but of his
personal qualities they know little
and care less. Discord does not
live in his presence; he has the
happy faculty not only Of possess
ing good humor in himself, but of
promoting it in others. No matter
what sort Of tangle the rest Of us
may be in, and how cross and out
of sorts the household may be, it
only needs for Mr.. Edison to walk
in for everything to get straight
ened out"
