The Panic Birds of Wall Street.

There is an interesting class of men
who are never seen on the "Street
when everything is bright and buoy
ant. but who flock there in droves
when a tempest breeds. and stocks fall
way down 10 almost nothing. They
descend upon ''the Street to take adj.
vantage of such conditions, and buv up
stocks when at their lowest, holding
them until all is peace again, and then
selling at a handsome profit. They are
usually veterans of the market who
g know the ropes, and buy when
everyone else is selling. and sell when
prices are high and everyone is buy
ing. These "wise men = Of Wall Street
are called 'panic- birds. and they al
ways soar high above the Street in
troublous times. One "panic- bird has
flown into the whirlpool of some 20
panics and has scared with a fortune
of half million. On the other hand.
one young man. with few thousands
and some ordinary horse.sense. took a

time at the height-or depth-of the

good points of the Memorial Its wreath
ing trusses of bloom, bright pure pink,
and the plant itself, well dressed with
glossy foliage as long as any other of the
climbing vines, making it a universal favor
lite.
1t should be remembered, however that
climbing roses are not real climbers. and
must be trained in the way they should
go: but they are not eXacting. The secret
of good climbing roses is simply good soil
The trenching cannot be too deep nor can
you well overfeed Buy strong plants,
give water in proper season and you can
cut sprays and wreaths of blooms at your
will and to the benefit of next years
growth.
But even though the likelihood of seri.
Gus injury being done by attacks of in
sects or actual diseases is remote, It is
the part of wisdom to keep on the look
out and be prepared. Therefore by all
means spray plants to some extent. Liver
of sulphur solution is effective against
mildew, and Bordeaux mixture is spe.
cific for other fungus diseases.
If mduly crowded and in dry situations
the foliage of many of these roses will sue
cumb to attacks Of red spiders, the one
efficient remedy for which is water II
the rose bug comes and you must fight it,
hand picking is about the only remedy.
You cannot attack this pest by poisoning,
because it finds its harbor in the very
flowers themselves The only really prac-
tical remedy is to grow the flowers in such
lavish profusion that the appearance of the
insects will not be seriously noticed. If
aphis attacks early in the season use a
strong water spray or a, soap solutlon.-

Strengthening the Caribou.

To the Indians, both the Montagnias
of the more wooded south and the Mas.
kopis of the Barren-ground water, the carl.
bou are the staff of life. By them they live
the meat feeds them; their lodges are COW
cred with the skins; the clothes which pro-
tect them against the northern winter are
fashioned from the pelts, the hair inside,
against the wearer's skin. Their moccasins
are sewn from the hides, and the very
sparse store of civilized luxury which finds
its way to the tents upon the promonto-
ries is largely gained by barter of smoked
hides
About the season when the caribou may
be expected in their thousands-strong mi
grafton all is activity in the Indian camps.
Up and down the river the scouts are
watching, and when the first caribou makes
its appearance he who sees 1t signals to his
fellowship first deer must not be turned.
But, once a fair portion have crossed the
river, the Indians in their canoes STAY as
many as a thousand deer. There is no
sport in it-merely massacre of helpless,
swimming creatures, and lengthy descrip-
ton of the proceedings would serve no pur-
pose But for many days after the battle
the Indian warriors sit by their fires and
enjoy the greatest of all the Injuries the
wilderness provides-the marrow of the
deer. Countless numbers of caribou have
been slain by Indian House lake; so many,
indeed, that the place has become historic.
This raiding of the herds, with trapping,
ptarmigan shooting, and rabbit sharing,
makes up the Indians hunting in sue
cessful season.-From the June Wide
World Magazine.

Drugs and Prohibition.

DR.. r. c. Cabot of Boston is credited
with saying that in New England the re-
suit of liquor prohibition has been to in.
crease the use of morphine and cocaine
Without attempting to defend prohibition
we should say that probably this Judgment
is true only in limited degree Individ
uals who have used alcoholic drinks for
their drug effects would naturally cast
about for something else if the liquor were
denied to them. But new users of NOR.
phine and cocaine can have no excuse of an
appetite which must be appeased. 1t is
true, also, that complaints concerning the
excessive use Of these drugs come in great
abundance from localities in which no
semblance OF liquor prohibition exists. New
York city, for example, has periodical out.
breaks of horror and indignation when
revelation is made about the astonishing
consumption of morphine and cocaine. In
deed, an agitation is now going on in that
state with especial reference to New York
city, with the aim of closely restricting and
regulating the sale of hypodermic syringes.
The condition which appears to make such
lawmallng, necessary is certainly not due
to the lack of opportunity for buying al
coholic liquor Some other impetus to the
drug habit must be looked for here
There are persons-we do not know
whether DR.. Cabot is one of them-who on.
pose prohibitory laws with respect to alec
holic drinks, but who favor them. or near
approaches to them, with respect to drugs.
and especially morphine and cocaine. 1t
seems to us that the same influences which
contribute to the, imperfect working of
the former laws will perform the same OBJ
structive function with the latter. To be
sure, there are some striking differences
in the ways in which the different articles
are marketed; but these differences do not
touch the foundation. of the drug habit,
which seems to begin in craving for
that where prohibition is ineffective as
to the one it is likely to be also ineffective
as to the other-New Bedford Standard.

The agricultural school established at
Lyndonville by Theodore n. Vail is evil
IDENTIFY to be even more OF a success than
it was hoped to be in less than year from
the date Of its establishing. 1t was planned
to accommodate 80 boys at the outset and
inasmuch as its accommodations will have
to be enlarged to provide for new admls-
sions the institution is plainly destined to
make its influence felt throughout wide
region. Agricultural education is what is
needed more than any other one thing to
make Vermont farming more up to date
and profitable, and Mr.. Vail will help a
host of young men to become benetactors
in turn by causing two blades of grass to
grow where one grew before.-Burllngton
Free Press.
Vermont is still lacking however, in her
facilities for giving young men modern ag-
ricultural training A young Vermonter who
is at present connected with the New York
state school of agriculture at Morrisville re-
Gently called our attention to this fact in
letter from which we quote the following
Through the medium of this school alone
the state of New York is doing as much,
if not perhaps more, for the agricultural
people of this section of the state than the
state of Vermont is doing for the same
class of people through the university and
its secondary school. The present appropri-
alton bill for the maintenance Of this instl-
tuition for the next year will amount to
S25, 900 besides several thousand more for
the erection of buildings and the purchase
of equipment. | often think what great
results could be accomplished in Vermont
could only proportionate shares be appro-
priated for schools throughout the state.
There should be one in the southern tier
of counties; the location does not matter
except that it be convenient to railroad
facilities | know that there are many
young men in southern Vermont who
should have the benefit of such course
in agriculture as we are giving here. Ex-
perience with Vermont boys has taught me
that the schools of Vermont are not edu-
eating the boys on its hillsides to the farm
the greatest resource Of the state. | am
hoping to see the time when Vermont will
offer to her young men opportunities they
should have to learn of the advantages
that those dear old hillsides hold for them
if they only knew how to use them"
