The steamer Lady of the Lake" is
being thoroughly renovated for the
coming season and will start her regular
trips on Lake Memphremagog on June
26. c. c. Bullock will be the captain,
but there will be new pilot this year.
Libby's Mills, station in Canada on
the Connecticut & Passumpsic division
of the Boston & Maine railroad, has
been changed to Boynton. The Norris
vile News and Citizen thinks this is an
honor bestowed upon their townsman
L. B. Boynton, on account of his tenn
porary residence in st. Johnsbury.
On June 1S the Canadian Pacific rail
way will inaugurate fast train to the
Pacific coast to be called the Imperial
Limited" 1t will make the distance
from Montreal to Vancouver in 100

Special Town Meeting.

The selectmen have posted the warning
for a special town meeting to be held in
the Town Hall on Saturday afternoon,
June II, at o'clock. Following are the
two articles in the warning:
Article /. To see if the voters will
authorize the town school directors to
rebuild the schoolhouse in Pierce's mill
district, so-called, to replace the one that
was burned on April 20, 1899.
Article 2. To see what action the
voters will take in regard to the propos-
ed construction of a bridge or viaduet on
Portland street, in said town, from a
point west OF the track of the Connecti-
cut & Passumpsic division OF the Boston
& Maine railroad, extending easterly
over said track, and over the tracks of
the st. Johnsbury & Lake Champlain
railroad, and the Passumpsic river, to a
point nearly opposite the dwelling house
of John N. Gale on said street.
The first article ought to be easily dis
posed OF as the school directors have
made satisfactory settlement with the
insurance company and now ask for
authority from the town to rebuild the
schoolhouse. The second article gives
the voters Of the town a chance to ex-
press their opinion on the subject OF a
bridge and viaduct and there ought to
be full and free discussion OF the SUBJ
ject, and the CALIFORNIAN believes that
there will.

Hints from an Expert.

Through the courtesy of Charles H.
Horton we are permitted to reprint
letter received by E. & T. Fairbanks &
Co. from City Forester Gale of Spring
field, Mass, upon the best means of de-
stroying the caterpillars that are injur-
ing our fruit and shade trees. Mr.. Gale,
who is an expert upon this subject,
writes as follows:
Gentlemen
Replying to your enquiry, would say
that we have a gasoline engine and
pump, that for spraying large trees is as
good as anything have ever found. 1t
was made by the Daimler Motor Com
pany of Steinway, Long Island City, N.
Y. Should you correspond with them,
they billed our machine as Complete
spraying apparatus;" this is ready to
be mounted on any kind Of spring
wagon. For smaller trees the Dbl.
pumps made by the Deming Company,
Salem, Ohio, are what we use. / have
three styles of their pumps but prefer the
peerless s"-Fig. 449-all brass air cham
ber, the action of the chemicals will soon
destroy an iron pump. If they are not
sold in your place Charles J. lager Co.,
ia High St., Boston. are their agents.
My formula is as follows: Acetate Of
lead, 7 GIG lbs. dissolved in 5 gals. hot
water. Arsenate of soda, 3-4 lbs. dis
solved in 2 gals. hot water. Glucose
"H" qts. dissolved in 2gals. hot water
This is now all poured together and
forms Arsenate of Lead. Always use
wooden dishes for the dissolving and
mixing This should be strained through
cheese cloth. when it will be ready to use
by adding 10 pals of water to one Of
of Lead to 10 parts of water. At this
strength there is no danger of burning
foliage, and it will kill all leafeating
| insects.
The Acetate of Lead and Arsenate of
Soda can be bought, l presume, from
your druggist. Arsenate of Lead is
being made this year for the first time by
William H. Swift & Co., &c Pearl ST.,
Boston. They have my formula.
Northern New England has been
troubled of late very seriously with the
Forest Tent Caterpillar, black worm
with lighter spots. If this is troubling
you it can be destroyed easily when they
are not feeding, then they are in their
tents or punched together. Fasten a
sponge to pole to form a swab, fill this
! with kerosene, break open their tents
and swab them thoroughly with the
kerosene, or if they are punched, swab
them off. This will kill the worms and
there will not be kerosene enough to
injure the trees.
am very much interested in the de-
struction Of injurious insects, and if
have not made m05elf clear please let
me know and will gladly do my best
to explain.
l should have stated that should you
use the Arsenate of Lead as you get it
from Swift &, Co., the Glucose should be
added, that is to hold the poison on the
foliage. Use your spray very fine.
Yours truly,
w. F. GALE.

The Woman's Club.

Village Improvement was the topic of
the afternoon at the Woman's Club on
Monday and, as usual, proved a most
interesting and practical theme. Believ-
ing that Charity begins at home" it
has become the custom of the club to
give this committee first place in the
years program, that the suggestions
given may be put into practice during
the months folio wing. Mrs. Minnie
Hazen, chairman, opened the meeting by
giving a brief review of the work of the
club along village improvement lines
since its organization in 1892. Mrs.
Helen Ross and Mrs. Florence Stafford
followed with practical talks on "The
Forest Tent Caterpillar" and "Street
Cleaning" "The Club House" was the
subject of the paper given by Mrs. Belle
Stevens which outlined plan for our
model club house which is sure to add to
the movement of village improvement in
the visionary future.
The picture "Christ Among the Doc
tors" by Hoffman was on exhibition.
1t is to be placed in the eighth grade
school room where it may be seen by
visitors on Patrons Day. 1t may be
remembered that the school children of
this grade cooperated with the art COM
mittee in selling tickets for Mr.. Bailev's
evening lecture in April the proceeds of
which furnished this beautiful decoration
for their school room.
A Reciprocity Bureau has been lately
established in connection with the State
Federation. Three essays read before
the st. Johnsbury Woman's Club are to
be sent to this bureau. The topics oi
these papers were arranged by the com.
mittee on History and Travel and were
given at the March meeting as follows:
Moorish 1nfuencein Spain, Miss Maud
Sprague.
Spanish Conquests and Colonial Rule
Mrs. Emma Cheney.
Our Relations with Spain, Miss
Martha Hall.
1t is hoped that the exchange O
thought in this way may give the clut
movement new impetus in the state.
The chair appointed Mrs. Hattie
Story, Mrs. Ella Horner and Mrs. Saraf
r. III g.. !
committee, Mrs. Mira Blodgett, Mrs
Martha Titcomb and Mrs. Annie Kina
as calendar committee.
1t was voted to withdraw from tn,
National Federation.
The July meeting is to be Patriotic
Garden Party given by the social com
mittee at the home of Mrs. Belle F
Fletcher.
Thirteen new members were added tc
the club list.

Matchmaking the Avenue.

The village trustees have commenced
the much-needed improvements on East
ern avenue and it will take them several
weeks to complete the job as they mean
to be thorough in the work. The street
will be greatly improved in various ways
and an even grade OF about seven per
cent established from DR.. Billiards. house
to Main street. This will necessitate
lowering the street in front of the old
CALIFORNIAN office and filling in little
opposite the Pythian building. At the
latter place the street will be widened
and concrete sidewalk laid on the south
side of the street after the street has been
widened. A coucrete strip of walk will
also be laid from the Pythian building to
the Y. M. c. A. building to conform to
the grade of the street. After the grade
Of the street has been established the
crushed stone will be put in and very
thoroughly rolled down by the new roller.

At the Academy.

The changes and additions which have
been in progress Of late, within and with
out the Academy buildings, are rapidly
nearing completion, and very soon both
buildings and grounds will bein readiness
to receive the many friends who will re-
turn to st. J. A. at the Commencement
season.
To one who has not followed the vari-
Gus changes that have been made the
Academy buildings will present most
striking and pleasing transformations.
Every change has been in the line of
strict utility, which has been secured
with an accompaniment of great attrac
tiveness. Few institutions can produce
finer rooms and appliances, better
adapted to their purpose, than those
which are now to be found in South Hall,
as the result of reconstruction.
The five rooms in which Mr.. Barbour's
courses are being conducted present
busy picture during the school hours.
Here practical business problems are
solved by practical methods, and the Sc
rious air that pervades the room shows
that serious work is being done.
In the Academy building new recita-
tion room furniture and apparatus nave
wrought marked changes in the general
appearance of affairs. The new physical
laboratory, connected with the science
recitation room, is most conveniently
placed and well equipped for effective
work. Friends OF the Academy will
always be welcome and it is hoped that
their interest may lead them to visit and
inspect the buildings under the new con-
ditions.
