Every Year.Few of Them Are Successful amd Then Only For Small Sums.The eity appears in the courts at least twice a week as defendant im: damage suits brought by its citizens.Time was when the city paid out in such damages many thousands annually.The corporation counsel systematized the work of the office a few years ago and piaced such damage suits in the care of a single assistant.Bince that time the special Knowledge in the corporation ceunsel\u2019s office has been considerable and increasing, so that the office has a minute acquaintance with the methods of those lawyers that bring damage suits against the city.One result of specializing the work of the corporation counsel's office has been a marked decrease in the annual judgments against the city as the outcome of suits for damages.The whole amount of damages paid by the city in the past four years has been leas than $28,000.Thero have been many hundred suits brought in that time, and the aggregate of dam- nges claimed has reached $2,000,000.Only a small percentage of these suits are successful, and in few or none do the plaintiffs recover the amount claimed.The city fights nearly every case that is brought aud seldom compromises 4 suit unless the justice of the plaintiff's case is of the plainest character.There are many lawyers who make it their business to seek out persons who meet with accidents and urge them to bring suits for damages, It is believed in the corporation counsel's office that there has not yet developed a class of lawyers who make a specialty of such suite against the city, though such specialization is a tendency of the present time.When an accident of sufficient importance to get into the newspapers occurs, the victim or victima received almost immediately communications somewhat in this fashion: \u201cWe have learned of the painful and serious accident that befell you yesterday, and we write to assure you of our sympathy in your affliction and to say that we areready to do all in our power to aid you in recovering damages from the responsible parties for the wrong you have undogbtedly suffered.\u201d \u2018The signature is that of a lawyer or a firm of lawyers making a specialty of accident cases.Surprisingly respectable names are attached to such letters, and in many instances the victim of the accident seeks the advice of some one of the lawyers that send such communications.By way of making all things sure, some lawyers have in their pay nurses and other attendants in hospitals to which persons suffering from the results of accidents are usually taken.In a recent case 80 or 40 agents of accident lawyers applied to see a patient at a hospital on the day following his mishap.Many hundreds of such suits are brought against the city every year, and perhaps half of those instituted come to trial.The city seldom loses on first trial, and when it does usually appeals the case.The office of the corporation counsel is extremely skeptical as to the justice of such claims, and there is a strong suspicion that litigation of the kind is incited by lawyers who hope to profit by it, and that many cases are brought with full lImowledge on the part of claimant and counsel that the claim is groundless.The counsel in many instances discontinued the cases when claimants are unable or unwilling to advance money to meet preliminary expenses.Nearly all such cases are undertaken upon contingent fees, and the share of the lawyer is commonly half of the amount recovered.Many cases arise every winter from injuries received by persons who fall upon icy pavements.The Brooklyn bridge was long the fruitful source of damage suits against the two cities, artil the legislature passed last year a law making the bridge trustees responsible for such damages.The most conspicuous case of late years was that of Mar- gharita Melneke, who asked $30,000 damages for injuries received on the bridge.She received a verdict for the full amount, but on appeal this verdict was reversed.One Page received a verdict of $12,000 for injuries in an accident to a bridge train.This was cut down to $10,000 on appeal, and the city finally paid him something less.A common ground of action is accidents caused by inequality in the flagging or pavements.The climate of New York makes such inequslities unavoidable, and the city solicitor\u2019s office confl- dently expects a considerable number of such suits every year.Many other cases grow out of broken pavements and croes- walks, It is not unusual for suits to be instituted by persons who slip upon banana peels and the like.The effort of the counsel in such cases is to prove that the pavement at the scene of the accident was defective.The corporation counsel's office, however, usually manages to find some one who was present at the scene of the accident and is able to show that there was no defect in the pavement.The office keeps a watch upon such accidents as are likely to result in damage suits, and as soon as a suit is the office sends out an agent to took up the facts in the case and especially to examine the scene of the accident.The assistant who is to represent the corporation counsel at the trial usually visits the scene of the accident and makes himself thoroughly acqhainted with the conditions then prevailing.\u2014 New York Sun.A Long Horse Car Line.\u201cA street car line 50 miles long is pretty good for length,\u201d said H.G.Fouse at the Southern.\u2018There is such a line in the Argentine Republic, but it isn't the longest in the world.The street car lino between Vera Crus and Jalape is 68 miles in length.I have ridden on it, and the trip isn't much worse than it used to be to go to I.owell a few years ago on what was the old Fifth street line in this der.Horses are changed about every 10 \u2018When the grade is steep, they are at shorter intervals.+The distanoe is covered in about eight hours, and the fare is 10 cents a The superintendent of the line is & man named ailkill, who was one of quan trell's licutenants during the war.unusually long horse car lines that one finds in South America are relics of the first attempts at railroad building, the primitive road of this kind having been somewhere in Massachusetts, the cars running on wooden rails and being drawn by horses.\u201d\u20148t.Louis Globe Democrat SHE DROPPED HER MITTEN, And She Wes Angry Because the Deaf Old Man Misunderstood Hen It was just 6 o'clock, and the car was packed with people going home.She carried some , and in hee efforts to handle them and save them from crushing she dropped her mitten.She saw it go, but was powerless to stay its descent, and it went down in successive stages in a triangular space between herself, a man who looked over her bead, and an individual who was deaf, \u201cThere goes my mitten!\u201d The deaf man leaned over and said, \u201cEh?\u201cMy mitten\u2014mitten\u2014it fell down.\u201d \u201cWell, ye can't git it, mum.Y'll have to wait till the car gits to the end of the Lge, 80 the conductor kin pull up the oor.\u201d \u201cP11 do nothing of the kind.Besides I ain't goin to have all these people walkin on it for half an hour.\u201d \u201cHaven't ye got another one?\u2019 said the deaf man.\u201cCourse I've got another one,\u201d and she wiggled the hand incased in her other mitten.The deaf man saw the movement, and knowing that women often carry car fare inside their hand coverings reached over and pulled her mitten off for her.Then she screamed.The conductor was the only man who could edge his way to the scene of trouble.\u201cWhat's the matter here?\u201d \u201cLady dropped her nickel and can\u2019t pick it up,\u201d said the deaf man.\u201cDidn't drop my nickel\u2014dropped my mitten,\u201d said the lady with the packages.\u201cSaid she had another one,\u201d pursued the deaf man, \u2018\u2018but she lied.\u201d \u201cYou're an old doorpost,\u201d said the woman with one mitten.\u201cQueer how folks go travelin about town with only one nickel,\u201d said the deaf man \u201cThey get along better'n people with no ears,\u201d said the woman who didn't drop her nickel.\u201cWas that all the money yer husband give ye?\u2019 asked the deaf man in a tone of sympathy.\u2018He must be a regla'r brute.\u201d «If he was here now, he'd eat you up.\u201d \u201cI s\u2019pose them'\u2019s collars and ouffs she's been doin up and is goin to deliver \u2018em,\u201d said the deaf man to the passengers.Then the conductor said, \u2018Fare, please,\u201d and the woman gave up a nickel that she had been carrying in her mouth.\u201cThought it was in yer mitten,\u201d said the deaf man.\u201cYou don\u2019t know how to think,\u201d said the woman.\u201cWonder why she didn\u2019t carry \u2019em both in her mouth?\u2019 said the deaf man.\u201cYou ought to stuff both your own mittens in yer mouth,\u201d said the woman.\u201cAin't ye afraid ye'll swaller yer nickel that way some time?\u2019 asked the deaf man, \u201cIf Ido, I reckon it won't injure my hearin,\u201d said the woman, Then the conductor got down on the floor and recoverod the woman\u2019s mitten, and she got off at the next crossing wondering why some people didn't carry ear Tho deat man sald, by way of enlightening the other.passengers, \u201cI guess it was her mitten instead of her nickel that she dropped.\u201d\u2014Chicago News-Record.\u2018Woman to Woman.The attitude women assume toward strange women was amusingly brought out in a New York court a few days ago.A female witness in a case where a young man was accused of elashing a young woman\u2019s dregs while riding in the elevated was asked by one of the lawyers, \u201cDo you mean to say, madam, that you saw all those tears or cuts, whichever you please, in a lady's skirt and yet badn\u2019t the politeness to tell her of it?\u201d \u201cI do,\u201d said the witness.*I have often told women when their dress was out of order in tbe street, but I always got snubbed for my pains, and I made up my mind not to do it any more.If a man should tell a woman that her drees was out of order, she would be very apt to thank him, but she never thanks a woman.\u201d\u2014San Francisco Argonaut.Trees Require Good Soil.Southern soil scems to possess the necessary substances for the growth of all species of trees and plants natural to warm climates.Substances that contribute to the nutrition of plants will act as food for trees, and, as we see the physical properties of the trees themselves, leaves and other matter have a direct share in their nutrition.There are some soils so hard and clayey that the roots of trees cannot spread, and thus they fail to reach the sabstances which they require for food.Hence the tree becomes stunted in growth and is soon dead, fall- to the ground to become, through its ashes, nutrition for some other frailer plant which can subsist in sach soil.\u2014 Boston Transcript.A Good Dressing For Shoes.\u2018When meditating a trip on a rainy day, it is a wise plan to rub the shoes with à waterproof mixture, which will make them soft, pliable and hardy.A very good recipe for this is an ounce of beeswax, an ounce of turpentine, a quarter of an ounce of Burgundy pitch, melted over a slow fire with a half pint of oil, Be cautious with the turpentine.This mixture may be applied often and will be found really excellent.\u2014New York World.Did You Ever?Did you ever expect a letter from a dear friend and get instead & cross grained note of complaint?Or confidently expect a check in the mornin

says a Florida orange grower, \u201cwhen few of my trees bore much fruit on account of insect ravages, I secured a large crop.I induced the ants to frequent my trees by syringing the trees with a strong solution of sirup and water.The solution dried, leaving à ssocharine substance adhering to the leaves, twigs and branches of the trees, in seeking which the ants killed the insects which infested the trees.\"\u2014New York Tribune, - \u2018 The Right Man Papa\u2014Dear me!

others, that he worked them to death.Which is correct, the Genius of Liberty does not pretend to say.The statements are given for what they may be worth.What Miss Dumsquizzle saw in him to marry is 8 mystery, unless she thought she would be more successful than her predecessors in getting hold of the money which le is said to keep buried somewhere on his farm.We heard it said that ber father owed Skimgullet $135, and that the latter threatened to have him arrested on a charge of forgery if-bhe did not get Melinda to marry him ; but this statement has not been verified yet.The presents were nol numerous, and the most expensive one that we saw was à peachblow vase worth a dollar at retail.Tbe couple left en the accommodation for a bridal tour of two days at Podunk.We asked tie Rev.| X.E.Geticks how much the gronm gave him for tying the knot, and he said seventy-five cents.This, therefore, can be relied upoo as official.\u201d «Young wan,\u201d eaid the editor, after reading \u2018 tbe reportetr\u2019s account, \u2018\u2018syou are far too high à genius to bury your talent in a small place like Quohosh.I would like ta keep you, but am sure that would be doing you an injustice.I think vou bad better go to New York, where your talents will we sppreciasted as they deserve.And, hy-the-way, when sou go to the station to buy your ticket, avoid the misiake of buying a return ticket.We are fond of you, but not so very fond that absence could fail to in- erease it.\u201d\u2014[W.H.Sivitor, in the Editor's Drawer, in Harper's Magazine for March.\u2014- Tue Tax ON REAL Estarr.\u2014Un- der the prominent heading in the Gazette, ** Weakest Spot is sound,\u201d comes the information from Quebec that the Government has drawn first bloood in the suit to test the constitutionality of the new taxes imposed at the last session of the Legislature.This, adds the correspondent, is the more satisfactory, as the Government was attacked at the weakest point, the land transfer (ax.The case was that of Choquette versus Lavergne.Mr.Choquette, M.P.for Montmagny purchased à property at St.Thomas and presented bis deed of purchase for regietration to Mr.Lavergne, teg- istrar of the district.The latter demanded payment of the tax of 1} per cent.on the purcheee price, without which be refused to register the deed.Choquette refused to pay, slleging that the tax was unconslitutional, and took suit against Lavergne in (he pature of a misdemeanor, to compel him to register tbe dced.The At- torney-General intervened to uphold the constitutionality of tke act and the case was argued by Mr.Geoffrion and Mr.Choquette on one side and Mr.Belleau and Mr.Bender for the Government.The case was tried at Montmagny and Justice Pelletier decided in favor of the Government.He held that the tax on the transfer of property was constitutional, and that the registrar was fully justified in pot registering the deed until Mr.Choquette paid 14 per cent.on the purchase price.This in brief ie the history of the transaction and it is satisfactory to the extent of knowing that the Government are keeping themselves within the limits of the constitution.Be- youd this the general public will not vot receive the decision with any particular degree of gratification.Com- ing-at a time when the depression of real estate is so very severe through out the country, the tax is partica- larly aggravating to those who are compelled to sell;

The Canadian Press Association have done a very acceptable thing in issuing « fac-simile of this pioneer newspaper, and the copy thereof, for which we bave to thank the Secretary, Mr.Preston, of Brantford, is really a very curious and instructive relic of the past.Imagine, if you please, a four page paper about 8 by 13 inches ; the title page grandly headed by the royal arms over the imposing name : ss Upper Canada Gazetle or American Oracle,\u201d and bearing date Thursday, April 18, 1798.First, there is à proclamation from His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, John Graves Simone, Eeq., for tba suppression of vice, profaneness snd immorality, sppesling to the people to see that the laws on these matters were respected.We know from history how well the law abiding and moral U.E.Loyalist settlers obeyed.Then, there is the King's Speech to the Imperial Parliament, delivered in December, 92, but only reaching Cavadian readers four months later, in which reference is made to the necessity of increased wil.tary force, and the victories of British arms in Egypt.Three col- umne and a balf, or nearly two pages of (he remaining space, are devoted to reproducing from a Philadelphia paper of February 25, 1793, the report of a lengthy debate in the House of Lords on two motions of Lord Lansdowne praying King George to intervene ia favor of Louis XVI, and proposing to deport the French refugees then in England to Canada West.The Oracle man evidentiv had an appreciation of news in those remote daye.Then, on page 4, the local reporter shows hie band.He announced that Yankee commissioners tc treat with the Indian would pass through Niagara shortly on their way to Sandusky ; the Legislature of the province was to meet May 28\u2014so Sir Oliver has a centennial precedent for calling the bouse so late in 1893.¢ We bave bad a remarkably mild winter,\u201d says the chronicler, ** the thermometer in ¢ the severest time has not been low- ster than 9 degrees above zero by **Farenheit's scale.Lake Erie has ** not been frozen over and there has * been very little ice on Lake Ontario.His Majesty's armed schooner Onon- dogs had just arrived in Niagara River with the following passengers ; J.Small, clerk to the executive council; Lieut.McCann, of the 60th Regiment ; Capi.Thomas Frazer, Mr.J.Deneson, Mr.Joseph Forsythe, Mr.P.Smith, Mr.L.Crawford, Capt.Arch.McDonnell, \u2014.Hatheway.- We cangoi forbear quoting one more ilem Yo interest oûr agriéulturai readers.It is this: \u201cNotice is hereby given, (hat there will be a brewery erecled here this summer under the sanction of His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor and encouraged by some ef the principal gentlemen in this place, and whoever will sow barley and cultivate their land so that it will produce grain of a good quality they may be certain of a market io the fall at $1 per bushel on delivery.\u201d W.Hur.Nlagara, 18th April, 1798.The Editor announced in the corner devoted to the the editorial « we\u201d that he would be highly flattered in becoming the vehicle of intelligence in this growing province of \u2018\u201c whatey- \u2018er may tend lo its internal benefit sand common advantage.\u201d [n thie respect 1893 is not so very far ahead of its ancestor.\u2014 Toronto Empire.\u2014aw A Curious Iufinence.Curious things are discussed by scientists, and one of the latest is the influence of sun and moonlight upon steel implements.The iron workers\u2019 organ, Iron says: *Kuives, drills, scythes and cycles assume a blue color if they sre exposed for some lime to the light aud beat of the sun; the sharp edge dieappears, and the tool is rendered absolutely useless until it is re tewpered.Purchasers therefore should be on their guard against baying tools from retail dealors and ped- lers whicb, for showing parpo-es, have probably been expose!

pastured sl- most entirely by horses, with an occasional meadowing of one or the other.There has never been pat on to the land a single load of anything but the stable manare from my stables and the loose boxes in the ficids.The new land has improved wonderfully, and the old land is as good as ever.There are some course patches in the places where the Lorsee stand for shelter, and where they have poached tbe land near the gates and boxes, but with these exceptions there has been a marked amelioration of the rans over the whole of the fields.bere cattle and eheep are pastored with horses, there

and drainage is notoriously much more common in the country than in cities and towns.Jo cities and towns a water supply and proper facilities for disioage are ueuslly provided at the public expense, anil administered under regulations which ull householders are compelled to comply with.In the country it is different.There these vital concerns are ordinarily left to the caprice of individuals, and while some persons are as vigilant and as scrupulous as to the condition of their homes and surroundings as could be desired, olbers are not.Their neglect in Lime is productive of disease, and, perbaps, death, snd mortality from these causes would be far heavier Lhan it is were it not for the fact that the free, pure air of the country and its active nut-of-door life serve as a strong and constant antidote.It the sanitary conditions which are sometimes found in a farming region existed in a closely-huile city or town nothing could prevent an infection which would sweep away half of the inhabitants.The farwhouse well is s consiant source of danger.Domestic convenience of course requires that it should be reasonably near the bouse or barn.If in addition il supplies water which is cool and clear to look on, it is often all that is expected.Water which to the unaided eye is pure as crystal may yet be swarming with germs of discase.Occasionally the drainage of the house and baroyards penetrates to unimagived distances, and a close examination and cleaning of the old well which has served tlie family for generations is one of those anytime duties which iv the stress of the regular routine farm work is liable to indefinite post- posement.Que of the greatest boons which could possibly be conferred upon most rural districts would be an abundant supply of running water drawn from absolutely free and uncontaminated sources.At present, of course, this is vi~ionary and wholly unattainable, but the country peo- can easily and profitably do one thing: They can guard the water supply which they now have as the very palladium of their health, if not their liberty.\u2014 Boston Journal.- IMPORTANT NEws FROM THE SUN.News from the solar eclopse Sunday indicates that a great measure of success has been achieved by the expeditions sent oul to observe it, espec: ially by those in Chili.Tle Harvard Cullege paity at Mina Aris, under charge of the brother of Prof.Pickering of the Harvard observatory.made observations and took photographs which tend to confirm the theory that the sun is surrounded by a luminous atmosphere lo a distance equal lo one eighth of its diameter, or something more than 100,000 miles deep.This is what is known as the iuner corona.Photographs were obtained for the first time of the \u201c\u2018 reversing layer\u201d of the solar atmosphere,\u2014the shallow stratum of gas Iving just ahove the photosphere, or real disk of the sun, commonly called the chromosphere, known lo contain the element: of many vapors \u2018found on earth, and from which are projected those tremendous rosy or fiery ++ prominences \u201d which frequently rise nearly to the limit of the inner corona.Twelve of the brilliant colored spectral lines of this chromosphere were seen throngh the telescope and were successfully photographed.The condensed shadow-hands, * fringes,\u201d or \u2018 filaments\u201d were observed by Prof.Albrecht as similar to hot air waves over an oven, or ripples on a pond; the direction of their movement wus variable.Camille Flam- marion thinks that Mr.Pickering\u2019s description of the corona, appears to confirm Prof.Schaeberle\u2019s mechanical theory concerning il.which haa been received with much interest.Months ago Schaeberle nade a drawing on his theory, as a prediction of what would be seen, and his despatch to Prof.Holden of the Lick Obhserva- tory is regarded by the latter as meaning that the observations made by the Lick Observatory expedition agree with it, verifying his theory.\u2014 Kqually
