Angle Worms.

Thomas w. Brown says that his
garden is fairly alive with angle
W orms, and wonders what the effect
may be on his vegetable crop. When
rain is frequent, in the Atlantic states
and in England they are considered OF
great benefit as they stir up the sub
soil, keeping it light and porous, but
in this drier climate, Mr.. Brown is OF
the opinion that the loosening of the
soil permits the moisture to evaparate
more rapidly, and as they come to the
surface they puncture the 'dust-
blanket.'' thereby increasing the
evaporation. He proposes to investi-
gate. aig.s ,.~....
By the way, a few years ago the
angle or earth worm was scarcely
known in this vicinity, and even now
they are found in undance in only a
few gardens in this city. They are
the most killing of known bats for
early trout fishing, and until recently
the angler had difficulty in securing
even meager supply. @

Serious Accident.

While saving wood with circular
saw on Friday last, at his home six
miles south of the city, Wallace
Bruce met with a. very serious ac-
cident-a narrow escape from instant
death. A stick was thrown from the
saw with great velocity, striking him
on the right of the median line of the
chest with terrific force, knocking him
senseless, and for time it was feared
he had sustained internal injuries.
Medical attendance was summoned,
and under treatment he is doing nice
ly. Had the blow been received on
the left side, or upon the head there
would have small chance of his es-

About six weeks ago John Ray
mond and Harry Smith and family
left the town of Ray for North
Dakota, to make their home there.
On Tuesday evening a telegram was
received announcing the death by
measles of Mrs. Smith, who is a
daughter of E. S.. Gowen OF Raymond.
She was a hale women in perfect
health when she left and the an
nouncement Of her death fell with
crushing force upon her large circle
of aquaintances by whom she was held
in high regard. A distressing feature
is the fact that she is the mother of
six children, the eldest but twelve
years of age. When measles broke
out in the family, an unmarried sister
went to assist in nursing them, and
was with her at the time of her death.
It was rem arkable coincidence that
her mother died of the same disease
less than two years ago. Deep SYM
pathy is expressed for the afflicted
ones. #E##a #

A Delicate Operation.

On Sunday last DIR. Dubois, as
sisted by DR.. Kergbis of this city
and Hilbert of Melrose, operated
upon Mrs. J ohm o. Nelson, and with
most gratifying results. She had
been desperately, ill for some time,
and it was believed she had an intest-
inal abscess. The oreration de-
veloped the fact that, while there was
no pus sac the tissues were highly in
famed and indurated, and the incision
gave relief which manifested itself in
a fall of temperature and pulse to the
normal, and she experienced relief at
once. The present indications are
most hopeful. s. .s5'2 r fvIg I3s.s ( i sAesa

WOMEN RESENT LIBEL.

A SHORT TIME AGO in a Chicago
/ theatre, during a matinee per
Torrance at which the audience was
corrosed largely of women, one Of
- ors, in responding to a ques-
ii, said: "A miracle, indeed; a con-
slant woman" Then the spectators
Kissed loudly and long. It was sew
erhl minutes before the performance
was permitted to proceed, and the pro-
duction was irretrievably ruined AS
constituent has been expressed that
any resentment should have been dis
played by the audience.
And, come to think it over. it is rath-
er astonishing that a sex that has been
consistently slandered by actor-folk
should have the courage to make row
about it. However, it is better late
than never. Almost since the stages
beginning women have been held UP
TO 'seorn and ridicule by those who pre-
tended to portray life as it is. For
years and years the women have sub
mitted uncomplainingly. At last they
have been goaded into a protest. and
right-thinking people will thoroughly
endorse their position.
Suppose an actor should proclaim
from the center of the stage that
patriotic American citizens are so rare
that the finding Of one partakes in
large measure of the miraculous. Does
anybody doubt that he would be driv-
en- at once into disgracefuI retirement?
And yet the foulest ISLANDERS of Gods
first and best gift to man are passed
with smiles, sometimes deprecatory.
but Oftener approving. It is not true
that the constant woman is a miracle.
She can be found in every community
without taking the trouble to losk for
her.
Patient self-sacrihcing. self-effacing,
she goes through life doing the work
at hand uncomplainingly, cheerily,
trustfully. The average woman is so
far ahead Of the average man in con-
stancy that a comparison cannot be in
stituted. The Chicago women were
right when they entered their protest.
1t is to be hoped that their example
viii prove contagious. The time has
come to stop stage iibels- Even if they
we're true they could serve no good
purpose. Reeking. as they do, with
falsehood, they are working irreparable
injury to the young men and the young
women of the land.
4 miracle. indeed: a constant vo-
mani" There is no wit. no sparkle. no
commendable feature in the words.
The sentence is the bark of a cynic
who has forgotten the mother who
bore him. the sisters who grew up
with him, the wife who gave her life
and her happiness into his keeping.
II women all over the country will fol-
low the path their Chicago sisters
have blazed, the stage win be elevated
more nationally than through any
other possible method.
