PLAGIARISM AT YALE.

More plagiarism. The second prize
man at the Yale Junior exhibition
last week had pretty good piece. 1t
was made up of two of the Townsend
prize orators of the class of 1869. They
are on file in print in the college libra
ry. The original author of a half of
this Junior prize essay was in the au-
dience. He looked up the old papers
and the second prize man has lost his
glory. The explanation on which he
escapes punishment is that in his man
uscript the stolen parts are in quota
tions. Probably he gesticulated quo
tation marks when he reached that
part of his speech. His case is like
that of predecessor, who spoke over
again the Hon. Henry C. Deming's
graduating Grafton, when MI. Deming
was in the audience. The delicate
compliment to Mr.. Deming became
known, and the young man received
the severe condemnation which still
gathers around the memory of his act,
though he himself is said to have got
rid of any association with the affair
and is doing very well in the ministry.
And these are not the only two cases.
They are inevitable. A member of the
class of 1870 passed off as original, in
the Yale Literary Magazine, paper
upon "Tact and Talent" that was
direct transfer from Webster's spelling
book. Some people have a natural
taste for doing things the crooked way.

HOW 1T HELPS BOYS OF GENIUS TO USE

MENDOZA, ILL.,, April q, 1878.
To the Editor of the Evening journal:
Your article entitled Cherish Indi-
viduality'' touched on the serious OBJ
lection to the graded schools. / agree.
with you in everything except the rem
edy. The ungraded room is good, but
we think that we have better plan, as
1t has gained favor with parents since
its introduction two years ago. We
have for each department, except the
highest, supervising teacher, selected
for her experience and mature judy.
ment, whose business is to control and
direct The work of the teachers Of the
several rooms, attend to desk work, and
do individual work. Those subject
to Individual work are the dull pupils
who have hard work to keep up, and
the bright ones who can do more than
| the regular work of the grade, and who,
with a little attention, can pass into
higher classes. Promotions are made
at any time on the recommendation of
| the supervising teacher so that the
bright, able pupil does not have to
await the regular grind at the close of
the month, term OF year. The course
OF study is arranged for mediocrity but
with the aid of Individual teaching the
able pupil is able to pass rapidly from
grade to grade while the dull one is
obliged to so as rapidly as he is able.
In addition to this we have 'tOptional'
studies which those who are considered
able to carry them may take at the sng-
gestion Of the teachers in charge. PU-
pills who need special drill or teaching
on any subject pass to a recitation
room and the regular teaching and re-
citing Of the SchOOl-r0Om are not re-
tarded by their work. The "individu-
az teacher must make such use of her
time as will accomplish the desired re-
suit whether it be to furnish work fer
the bright, mischievous pupil or to
arouse and quicken a slow, lethargic
intellect; and she must be an enthusi-
asst whose whole soul goes into the
work of making the most of the en-
dowments of each individual pupil in
trusted to her care, one who is the con-
JfdG91te of even the most timid of her
charge. With such help we have near
ly the flexibility Of the ungraded school
without it's Objectionable features; but
the success or failure of the plan in
any given school depends entirely up
on the judgment and common sense of
the person who attempts to supervise,
counsel and teach both teacher and pu-
pills. J. r. MCGREGoR.

SUITABLE CROPS FOR OR
CHARDS.

Suel Foster says in the N. Y. Trtb-
1t1ae Pillow and cultivate your Or
chards, young and old. Do not SOW
small grain and grass, but plant to corn,
potatoes and other hoed crops. Sewed
grain and grass grew the early part of
the season, the same time the trees
grow, then the crop is taken off, and
sometimes the warm rains of August
and September will start the trees to
late growth. greatly to their damage.
Not so with corn or potatoes; their
growth is mostly in July and August,
the time we wish to check the growth
of the trees. Therefore, do not plow
the orchard after July until near cold
weather; then it is often beneficial to
destroy insects, and to mellow the.
ground through Winter. Buckwheat
is an excellent orchard crop. Harvest
some of it where the ground is rich,
but where the orchard needs fertility
and mulching, let it fall to the ground
and rot. Mulch the ground under the
Trees, not close around the body, but
)ut under the limbs.

0CoTsWoLDs AND sOUTHDOWNs

.COTSWOLDS AND SOUTHDOWNS
The wool of the Cotswolds, Leices-
ters, and other large breeds is in great
demand in these modern days, as
worsted goods are all the fashion, and
these require long, comblng woods.
The large sheep also make excellent
mutton-nOne better. The COtsWolds
seem to be taking the lead in England,
and are also great favorites in Canada.
Their wool is long, six inches ON the
average, but it is open, SO that the
sheep are exposed to the weather more
than if their feeces were compact. The
Cotswolds, in small focks and with
good care, pay splendidly. The ewes
are prolific. often producing twins, and
and are good mothers. The lambs are
also early covered with wools The
weight Of the fleeces varies from eight
to ten pounds Some Of the bucks give
an enormous quantity of wool.
The CotsWolds originated in Glouces-
ter county, England, and the name is
derived from cote, a sheep fold, and
void, low, naked hill They are gen
orally considered to be a herd adapted
to plains and rich soil. Our friend
".Mr. B., the Mountain Farmer might
find them too tender, if his elevation is
high and he has not the best Of shelter,
but they do well in Lower Canada,
where the temperature averages much
lower than in most of New England.
| The late Lieut.-Gov. Hull, of Landis-
field, a mountain town in Massachu-
sets, kept large flock Of .Leicesters,
very similar sheep to the aCotswolds,
and was very much pleased with them,
but he was an amateur shepherd, and
furnished his flock with the best of
pasturage in Summer, and good shelter
and nice care in Winter. If our noun
tain farmer-friend decides to purchase
the large, longWooled sheep, we advise
him to commence with small flock
and study their nature closely. Sheep
husbandry is trade by itself, and re-
| quires t1oclK-master who has a taste
for the business, especially if he has
the charge Of a large, thoroughbred
4 flock.
!. The South Downs are a smaller sheep
with a shorter, more compact wool,
but they are very symmetrical, easily
kept, have q vigorous constitution, and
make as good mutton as a prince need
desire. Probably more South Down
mutton is consumed in this country
than any other, and for a mountain
/ farm we should decidedly give them
the preference. The South Downs or
| iginated On the chalky hills of Sussex,
England. A down in England is a
term applied to poor, naked hilly lands,
and the Sussex Downs consist of a
range of chalky hills, five or six miles
in breadth, stretching along the coast
fer sixty miles, and yielding a short,
sweet heritage, just such as sheep like.
A Down sheep and mountain sheep
are synonymous terms in England.
The South Downs, are, therefore, indi-
genous to a billy country, and we
should sooner risk them than the Cots
void, on mountain farm. They can
live ON short heritage, and yield good
fleeces, averaging about four pounds. of
medium fneness, and a meat which
has always ranked as letter A, both in
England and America. Like the Cots
Wolds and Leicesters, they are desti-
tute Of horns, and not inclined to be
rambunctious.-Aler. Hyde, in Neao
YorR; Times.

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels. and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than Il quarter of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafiied the best of
human skill. While they produce power
tll effects, they are, at the same time. the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inhamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood.
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates. containing neither caIon,el
nor any delcterious drug, these Pills NAV
be taken with safety by ANYBODY. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh.
and makes them pleasant to take: while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
nom their use in any quantity.

NEW METHOD OF SETTING
STRAWBERRY PLANTS.

j. H. Peazy, of Maine, tells in the
Fruit Recorder, of a new method of
setting strawberry plants. He says: ]
have been experimenting for many
years in strawberry growing, and have
had some interesting experiences.
Some of these / may relate at future
time, but will at present only give you
my method of setting plants.
AS / cultivate three or four acres on
the matted row biennial system, I have
to set one-tllird Of that extent each
Spring. find itgroveling and back
aching work setting with a trowel;
have tried setting in small plowed fur
rows, and find it worse, as YOU have to
fill up the whole furroW. But I have
lit upon the following plan: After thor
oughly preparing and manuring the
ground and lightly rolling or dragging
it to make fine and smooth surface, [
lay out rows three feet apart with a
small pair Of loaded wheels drawn by
hand, or sometimes by cultivating the
whole surface with a harrow-tooth cul-
tivator having a block dashed to one
tooth to make q large scratch.
The plants are carefully dug, trim
med, roots cut back to about four or
five inches long, Strengthened, and
packed horizontally in small boxes and
covered with wet straw until wanted.
A puculiar hoe is required for MAX
ing the holes, although an ordinary one
taken sideways will do take COM
mon hoe, heat the goeseneck and bend
it SO that the blade will be at right
angle with the handle, then trim the
hoe to about four inches in width.
With this implement boy makes holes
on the line one foot apart; second
boy follows with a box of plants and
places one against the back side of
each hole, with the crowns even with
the surface and roots spread. fellow

The boys exchange work at the end of
each row to relieve their muscles. I

and have had less loss there by the

IS to set strawberry plants as early as
possible. They will make nearly doub-
