Senator Goodwin appeared before
the committee on judiciary. Thursday
afternoon. in behalf of his hill to re-
ouire corporations to furnish minority
stockholders with statements of their
financial condition. Hon. Herbert NJ.
Heath spoke In opposition to the meas
ure. as did Franklin c. Payson. Esq,
of Portland. A. c. Stilohen. Esq. of
Farmingdale, Richard Webb Esq. OF
Portland. Senator Virgin ard Repre-
sentative Davis.
MIR. Heath criticised the bill at
length, saving that it would be UNI
necessary legislation as there is now
sufficient common law under which by
right of mandamus any stakeholder
can secure the information when it is
necessary to preserve his rights which
would be given him under the Good
win bill.
Mr.. Goodwin commended that he did
not wish to go too closely into the
affairs of the corporation. He would
be willing to have the bill amended so
that corporations would only have to
furnish statement showing the gross
receipts and expenditures. and for its
last fiscal year. He would not wish
to put the corporation to the trouble
OF furnishing statement at any time
that some stakeholder might call for
il. He said that he was aware that
there wouldn't be much left of the bill
but he would be thankful for even 4
little.
All the opponents of the measure ar
gued that the bill would make it pos
sblc for minority stakeholder to
wreck corporation by making public
all the dealings of the organization.
TO this the senator from Somerset re-
piled that. the corporation should be
willing to make its doings public. 1t
should have nothing that was to be
kept covered uD. He declared that it
was better that one corporation should
be wrecked than thousand stock
holders ruined. IN
The committee voted ought to pass
on the bill in relation to the Booth
bay Harbor Water Company; also on
the act in relation to attested instru-
ments; ought to pass in new draft, on
the draft to prevent the pollution of

TIE TRAln,Na or A CHILD.

Several important Points That Muss
Be Rssnembsred. -
To teach q child with success re-
quires only common sense, good tudg'
~1nsnt and gentfeneas. There are, how
ever, three other important points that
.oust ever be foremost in the mind
Of the teacher.
First of all, she must remember that
to teach is to impart instruction; not
to find fault with ignorance, with Lack
of comprehension, with listlessness or
with forgetfulness. Often, indeed, for
these last named faults, poor teaching
is to blame. Second, there Is the
fnfexible rule that requires a teacher
to prepare every lesson carefully be.
fore giving it, in order to present It
in an interesting and Ineligible way.
Third, there is the ever present dam;
ger Of OVERRIDING, against which tho
teacher must always be on guard.
In the beginning short lessons fro
;Quently varied give the best results.
Ten or fifteen minutes for each study
is enough, and this time limit must
not be overstepped SO long as to-
morrow represents another day.-Ths

A traveller in Japan thus describes
the hairy Amos of that country: The

Nine successful novels recently pub
ltshed IN the United States had total
sale Of over 100000 copies. Since
the average weight Of each book sold
was probably twenty ounces, little
calculation will prove that these 1,600.-
600 books contained approximately
1000 900 pounds Of paper. A manu-
facturer of paper asserts that the aver
age spruce tree yields q little less than
half q cord Of wood, which is equiva-

other words, these nine novels swept
