A Postcard Hunt.

Most children are ardent post card
collectors. SO this party will appeal
to them. There should be enough
cards to permit of each guest having
three or four when the final distribu-
tion takes place. Use ordinary cards,
Inexpensive. with few colored ones
and half dozen with Christmas
symbols. Hide them throughout the
rooms, explaining that uncolored
cards score one, colored ones count
two points, and Christmas cards score
three. Allow ten minutes for the
hunt. then blow whistle, which
means that all turn in their cards to
have the score made up. The Christ
mas cards go to the winners, and the
remaining cards are divided equally
between the guests. after reading of
the scores.

THE CATERPILLAR PEST.
How Shall it be Gotten Rio of? Some Val.
liable Suggestions from Correspondent.

The suggestion in last weeks issue of The
Journal that an effective way of getting rid of
the caterpillar pests is by burning their nests
with a wooden rag saturated with Kerosene has
called forth a spirited protest from reader,
and before giving what he has to say on this
subject we would say that there are times
when this method of destroying the webs can
be resorted to with perfect safety. Where the
limbs can be reached, better way is to cut OFT
the twig holding the web and put it in the
stove over a good fire, and then none of the
caterpiars can escape, and as burning WIN
kerosene destroys the twig also it makes no
difference so far as the .ree is concerned
which plan is followed. OF. burning off the
worms our correspondent says:
In this awfully dry condition of things they
would burn up the country, sure! Tell them
not to next week, "for the laad's sake!' There
are too many worms anyway Tor anything put
forest fire to make that method OF any gen.
eral use this year. People with a few trees
who will take the trouble can. kill them with a
kerosene emulson-a good suds of gold dust
with kerosene in-but they. must break the
tough web of the "fall web worm to do 1T.
This worm, usually not very troublesome and
as result ignored, has for the last two years

State work We, individually, can only do a
little on our own lots. l think a continuous

did last year. 1t may be warning to every
body to look out-that nest of brown tail,
fully Matched out, was found in Searsport,
August 18th, among the webs of the other
kind and might easily have been mistaken for
them, with somewhat disastrous results to the
finder and others, had not the significant rolling
together of the leaves been noticed.
In suggesting some things for amendment OF
what our correspondent considers our some
what dangerous advice, he says that he believes
spraying with some arsenate spray is effective
on these overwhelming worm swarms And
further; eve need two things-no, three.
e. compulsory destruction of all these nests
and swarms, including the tent caterpillar, in
spring, so that the lazy man will not undo
what his more careful neighbor at great labor
does; secondly, the towns to do it for all the
pests the same as for the Goblin, where private
individuals will not, or cannot, with proportion
ate charge on individual taxes: and lastly some
enterprising party in each locality who will in

and go around and help US poor mortals out

published an interview with Thomas W.
Lawson, in which that we'll known finan-
cier declared that Boston is the center of
a band of criminal swindlers whose opera
tons in the past three years have result
ed in the robbery of more than fifteen
millions of dollars from the people of
New England by means of bogus mining
schemes and alluring offers of quick loans
upon stock certificates to be held as secrr-
ity. This is quite credible, and it might
be added that Boston is not the only city
in which schemes are originated, and
successfully carried out, for separating
credulous people from their money; and,
unfortunately, it is mainly the savings
and hard earnings of working people, or
those of moderate means, which 90 to
swell the Golfers of the sharpers. It is
strange fact, but fact nevertheless,
that man who could not get credit to
the amount of $50, but who is a naturally
endowed liar, finds no difficulty in dis
posing of worthless stock-and even sue
ceeds in victimizing the same people over
and over again. Of the crooked ,nanipu..
lators in Boston Mr.. Lawson says: "Many
of these men have criminal records, they
are mostly all graduates from race track
bookmakers, touts, and acquainted with
the lesser confidence games which years
ago was the open field for the criminal"
". IL H.. a.
less patents or mining claims, incorporate
for millions and own it ALL Then, says
Mr. Lawson:
With this accomplished they set agents
to work throughout New England we'll
known doctor or postmaster, or any citi-
zeninwhom the townspeople repose conf
dence. Then out comes the stock, selling
at small price at first. but boosted from
time to time by the manipulators, who
own it all and can make price to suit
themselves. AS the stock advances it is
grabbed up through the agents in the
country, until the schemers retire with
the savings of multitude who awake to
find the certificate they hold has no more
value than a sheet of discarded wall
paper.
The papers recently published details
of a typical case; that of mining COM
pany with capital of SIS, 600, 900, divided
into 5,OOO,0 shares of a par value of 81.
Most of these shares were sold at from
rs to IS cents each in New England. The
stockholders have never received divi-
dend but met year ago and successfully
fought a proposed assessment Of Is cents
share. A mining engineer sent out to
inspect the mine recently made this re-
port: II find in your tunnel one vein in
stead Of %, and that vein is barren. In
stead of the unlimited quantities Of ore
so glibly described to you, find no ore
whatever in the tunnel" And this is
only one of the many holes in the ground
