Ocean Disasters.

1t seemed as though 1898 was to be a
record breaking year for marine disasters,
but if 1899 keeps up its present pace it
will even surpass it's predecessor. Fortu-
nately, the accidents this year have not
been attended with the frightful loss of
life that marked those of 1898. In fact
the escapes from some of the wrecks have
been simply miraculous. The last disas-
ter to be recorded is the loss of the new
Allan line steamer Castilian, that struck
Gannet rock, inside Cape Sable. All her
passengers were safely landed and taken
to Yarmouth, but to judge from the re-
ports at the hour of writing, this fine
liner is destined to become almost total
loss. Gannet rock is small reef to the
south of Yarmouth, and it would seem as
if the ship must have been we'll off
course that would have cleared Cape Sa-
BILE to find the bottom at this point. Cape
Sable must not be confused with Sable Is
land, where the Moravia found her last
resting pl ce, they are 800 miles apart;
nor is Gannet rock, where the Castilian
struck, to be mistaken for the rock of the
same name which lies off Grand Manan,.
on the opposite side of the Bay of Fundy.

The Time to Plant Trees,
Haverhill, Mass, March II, 1899.

The tree planting season always arrives
with the season when the building of
houses is most active, and when the yards,
fences and lawns are being provided for
1t is timely to note chat the one thing
usually forgotten by builders is to plant
tree or two. 1t costs little and is a
source of ornament and comfort. No
money can be more wisely spent.
Every tree that is cut down to make
room for a cellar or an outbuilding
should be replaced before the new domi-
Gle is completed. If every man will
spend few dollars in tree planting, the
coming suburban settlement cannot fail
to be far more attractive and real estate
more valuable.
1t has been proposed in some legisla-
lures that statutes be enacted compelling
every man who builds residence to plant
at least one tree at each corner of it,
on the ground of the public health. 1t
ought not to be necessary to compel a
man to do what is plainly in their own in
terest and costs so little.
At any rate word to the wise is usually
sufficient. There is growing scarcity of
trees in American communities. The
way to start right in suburban growth is
to plant trees in time. Boston Globe.

for an examination and recount Of the
ballots cast at the recent election. This
recount effected no change in The mem :
bers Of the city council or ward Of
ficers, but reduced the majority of Mayor
elect Philbrick from 81 to p. There
were 26 defective ballots in the whole
city, of which were thrownin ward two.
In ward seven there was but a single de-
fective vote. The Watervlle Mail says
edito rally:
The recount Of the votes cast on Mon
day shows that the voters have learned
the art of voting under the mongrel Sys-
TEN low in use in Maine, pretty thorough
ly. Still there were more than a score of
voters DISTINGUISHED because they were
unable to mark properly. The treat
ment of the ballots by the ward officers,
who had the sorting and counting to do
showed that there was no unanimity of
opinion as to what was a legal ballot and
what was not Nor is this strange, for
put the same ballot into the hands of any
similar number of men gathered from the
ordinary walks of life and there would be
serious disagreements in some cases as to
what votes should be counted and what
should not. 1t takes the court to settle
these questions. An example will serve
to illustrate the view that some of the
ward officers held as to what constituted
a proper ballot. 1t is evident that they
had in their minds the idea that if the in
tent of the voter were plain, that was
about all they had need to consider. In
this case the name of one of the candi-
dates for mayor was scratched and only
the sirname of his opponent was written
in the proper place. In the other case
similar process was gone through with
except that the first name only was used.
Both ballots were counted.

If ever the cumbersomeness of this pres

Monday, when the counting of the ballots
showed that 81 votes, or more than 16
per cent. of the vote cast, was lost by rea-
son of msconstrued use of the pencil,

found to be in the wards to which are ac
credited the greater amount of intelli
