Tendency Toward Sanitation.

We can see in many different
parts of the country the effect of
more people crowding into a given
area than was the case a few years
ago. Sewage that once went into
the nearest stream must now be dis
posed of on more scientific principles
and water, once pure and abundant
and near at hand, must be gathered
and brought from greater distances.
In our great cities the sanitary con-
ditions are being more carefully
looked into, and greater precautions
are found absolutely necessary to
preserve the public health. While
some, even large, cities are slow to
recognize the altered conditions, and
continue the wasteful methods of a
generation now past, the general
tendency is toward healthy change
in practice and wise provision for
the near future Engineering News.

ness in the column of a popular
wOman's or rather " ladies journal

printed question that no woman has
a right to think q man loves her be-
fore he says so. In other words a
wOman's modest and innocent ma
ture makes it necessary that she

she can receive as a friend, and who
is worthy of confidence, respect and

simply has a brotherly interest in
her, and when he does declare, il
her conduct does not prevent hin
from so doing, his love, the gooC

prise, and covered with confusion
of bushes, murmer ooh Mr. Jones
this is so sudden ! " She has nc
right to see that a man loves her
she is to lie to herself and to hin

Vaccination in Germany.

The Supreme Court of the German
Empire has just pronounced SEN
tence and ordered judgment in a
case concerning vaccination. DIR.
Max Boehm, who is a determined
opponent, was prosecuted for hav-
ing certified to the successful vac
cination by him Of several children,
because it was held that he had
used a diluted lymph, incapable of
comforting immunity. The lower
court decided against him, but the
Judgment was reversed by the Su-
preme Court of Leipzig The health
authorities were not satisfied, and
brought him before the same courts
again on the same charge. The
lower court again decided against
him, and he appealed to the Su-
preme Court, but it sustained the
Judgment and he was sentenced to
two months Imprisonment.

GREENE TOWNSHIP.

Especial Correspondence to the PREss.)
GREENE TOWNSHIP, Jan. 23.-Mrs.
VIM. Banks, who has been under
the doctors care for about two
months, is slowly recovering her
physical health, but her mental
power seems very much depressed.
1t is hoped that she may recover
fully, as her bodily health, becomes
restored. The cause of her illne IS
was blood poisoning, arising from
some drug being injected in her
gums to allay the pain while her
teeth were being extracted
Mr.. T. H. Gilpin has shut down
his stick mill for an indefinite period
1t is reported that he sustained a loss
of several hundred dollars in trying
to keep it running during these hard
times.
Some burglars entered the store
of G. l.. Waltz in Newfoundland,
blew open the safe, and helped them
selves to about two hundred and
fifty dollars, and went away leaving
dry goods scattered in every direc-
ton. No clew has been found.
The church organ is going to be
sent to the factory to be repaired, and
cleaned. 1t has been in a bad condi-
tion for a long time.
Lumbermen every where are earn
estly wishing for snow, which would
make their business much better.

Small Fruits in lsah.

Bulletin No 80 of the State Col
lege gives tables showing weight,
size and productiveness of several
varieties of Strawberries. Thirty
seven kinds were tested, but the fol-
lowing seem to be the only ones
which gave satisfactory results
Centennial, Crawford Crescent.
Cumberland, Shuster, Van Deman
and Warfield.
The second year after planting is
generally regarded as yielding the
largest and best crop of berries, but
this is shown by the table not to be
invariably true for the fourteen var
tiles planted in 1891, s yielded more
literally in the third than in the
second year, and of Is other varieties
planted in 1899, 10 bore more heave-
ly in the second year than in the
first after planting Several kinds
of blackberries were tested, but the
results were not sufficiently satisfac-
tory to warrant any definite report
One novelty is mentioned as a ma
tive white blackberry called the
Ingersoll. Plant very thrifty, erect
canes, very green and almost thorn
less. Not yet in bearing and will
probably prove very deficient III this
respect.
This general description would
seem to be suggestive of the results
secured by another Ingersoll, of the
human species.
Twenty-Five varieties of raspberries
were tested, but the following only
show results which would entitle
them to much consideration. Co.

Some Whys-.-We Are Not Wise Enough to
Answer

Especial Correspondence to the PREss)
MATAMORAs, Jan. 22.-Why do
men make laws so that one man can
sell the vile stuff which causes an
other man to break the law, and dis
turb the peace and then send him to
Jail, while the other one is not dis
turbed?
Why do men make laws to fine the
man who kills a robin, and allow
men to sell that which kills both body
and soul of his brother man?
Why do Republicans hesitate to
take the Press? Because they are
not looking for Office perhaps.
Why do ministers of the Gospel
imagine that their only duty con-
sists in preaching two sermons on
Sunday and attending one prayer
meeting in the week, while some
members of their church are sick at
home, and have not been able to at
tend church for fourteen months, and
hardly know the man who presides
over the church to which they be-
long?
Why do ministers fatter them
selves that a good sermonizer is
worth more than a good pastor.

parations for the coming politica

They have posted a number of
catchy notices in conspicuous places
designating place and time of hold
ing tnelr caucus. In fact the notices
are so numerous and the design so
beautiful that they remind one OF
the icicles that cling to the trees,
clothes lines, gates posts etc after an
ice storm in mid winter
Another singular thing in connec-
tion with these notices is this, why
did they use common steel tacks to
tasten them in position when the in
come tax was SAID to be such a good
thing, and was originated by such Il
brilliant Democratic statesman as
Mcmillan? Still another strong indl-
cation that election is approaching
Is the fact that one viii lind on near
ly every street corner the Democra-
TIC political bosses absorbed IN deep
conversation. 1t is obvious that the
Demo rats intend to lead from the
fact that they hold their caucus in
advance of the Republicans this
spring. Perhaps it is good policy
and wise precaution ON their part
to do so, as it will give their nOmi-
nees a few hours advance over their
opponents to canvass the township.
Would it not be a good plan for each
one of their candidates to select one
of their numerous bosses to accOmp-
any them in making their rounds,
as there is no need in performing
this task alone when the party has
such a number to eXpound their TAI
lacious doctrines. Their notices
