During tho reading of tho decision in ; tho Sharon cruts on the third of Hcptcin- j ber, 1888, Mrs. Terry insulted Judge j Field, who turned to Marshal Franks and cold: "Marshal, remove that woman i from this court room." The marshal advanced toward Mrs, : Terry, who took no notico of him, bu* i broke out with oaths and vulgar lan- ! gunge.

And yot there is more than funoy and legend in the tales our captain told of olden activities ulong these shores an we ixhilarutingly swept these northern waters. Tales weird nd strange lliey were; but the warm blood of Basque was in his own veins, and his eyes kin dled with the wondrous histories of Basque adventures here 1,000 years ago —historioß which, could they bo proven, would compel Bancroft and Hcudley to rewrite all their early pages, and would sadly dnmpori the enthusiasm for tho proposed Columbus celebration of 1802. Briefly this is how the story runs: The old Iberian raco—perhaps a race 1,000 yearn older than tho Egyptian, which came from somewhere and over ran Europe l'rom the Modittcrranean to the Archangel and Kara teas, und finally succumbed to other invasions, blendlngs and assimilations—comprised a people not only cultivated in the arts, but those which gave tho world its first and great est navigators und sea adventurers. All coasts and climes wore known to them. The concentrated remnant of this mighty people gave to tho Basque provinces and Brittany their Interesting anil spirited folk. From among these, more than J,OOO years before Columbus, assisted by the wily though niggardly spirit of Span ish conquest and domination, made the new world subjective to tho old, wt re those Iberian or Basque navigators, who had seen every rod of coast lino from Nova Eembla boy< ud the howling nuel o.Yoms of Spitzbergcn sea, around the arctic' Spitsbergen groups, tho far Ice landic fiorthe, past Greenland's -t,Uut> miles of ice and silence, the eternal ice peaks of Ellesuiero Land and Cumber land island, down boyond the dreary roach of Labrador, all along the mighty distances of (St. Lawrence's gulf and Newfoundland itself, pas! Prince Ho ward's and Cape Breton islands and Nova Scotia, to that dread mystery and graveyard of the sea. Sable island, where during all these centuries they hud chased tho whale and taken tho mackerel and cod. From such us these, liun bio uud unknown whalers and sailors, Col umbus undoubtedly gained his positive knowledge of America, and through It his immortality of fame. Menial laburd of Auatriun Women, It is taken for granted generally that female sufi'rago would have tho effect among others, of raising tho status of working women—forbidding the • uq , ; inenL of them In occupations unworthy of their sex. But there is a good deal of reason to thiuk, if tho lady vob.rs tint;, fully represent tho gemirul feeling, they may support what is culled u rotrogra > policy in this mutter, says tho "Loudon Standard." Female suffrage may pus-I bly maintain tho view that women shot l l not be, debarred from any hones; and healthy occupation upon sentimental grounds. It appears from the consular reports that feminine labor becomes more and more common in Iho Austrian mines, while it diminishes In the woolen manu factories. There was au increase of hT) hands last year in the one, aguinst a pro portionate decrease in tho other. The women are engaged mostly in hoisting shafts and in tlio pushing of cars. Though wages are low, they pre fer this employment to domestic s>; v ice, because, as is surmised, tlioy work only eight hours, enjoying their liberty for sixteen. But there urc factory acts in Austria. If this theory explains the preference shown toward labor in tho I mines as against domestic sorvice, it fails to account for tho disinclination to ward factory lubor. Women work at foundries, steel works and rolling inlll jil-u.and the Inspectors admit that it does not seem to Injure them. The feelings of the sex are everywhere alike, and if Aus trian girls deliberately choose hard, man u d labor rather than sedentary or '-do mestic" employment, we may bo euro their English sisters will incline to the sumo view when emancipated.

To discover some means oi hastening the fruiting of tardy-bearing trees or those that have grown largely to wood, a row of crab-applo trees was girdled. Three trees were girdled by cutting out a ring or bark one-oighth, one-quarter and ono-lialf inch wide at tho ground, July 12th, 21st and 29th. Three trees wore girdled just below tho main branches with the three widths of girdle as in the first, July 12th, 21st.29th. Tho same us übovo was made on one or more main branches with tho throe widths of girdle, July l'2th, 2 Ist and 29th. The results wore that all tho girdles made near the ground healed over readily and completely. Those on tho main trunk healed less eompletcl}", but sufficiently to ensure a good growth of the tree and the covering of the injured part in another year. Tho girdles made in the branches healed less completely than the last, and in two instances the now growth failed to moot and consequently the branches died soon after starting growth in tho spring. All showed a marked increase In fruit fullnoes over those not girdled. Littlo difference was observed in the efleot of the girdling made ut different times or in the various widths of the ring of bark taken out. MB AUTOOHAT•• AT SO. W.
