overcome by using the

out of tangle and enables you to angle.

from prescribing for the weaknesses of 
others how to take good care of ourselves.” 
He was a chance acquaintance, but was- 
a very pleasant companion for rambling 
among the streams and ponds. He was one 
of these learned men, rarely met with, who- 
have the brains to contrive, the tongue to- 
persuade, and the hand to execute. And 
he carried his learning as he did his money, 
in an inside pocket. He never spoke of 
the one or ever played the pedant with the 
other. The science of such men has done 
much for the world. They have restored 
sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf, 
prolonged life and minimized danger, con¬ 
trolled madness and trampled much on un¬ 
reasonable desire. 
It is often said that man can buy in the 
cities with his money anything that he may 
want and as much of it as he may wish. 
This is a grave mistake. There are many 
(hings that he cannot buy with money in 
the cities. Good health and long life can¬ 
not be bought with ready cash, but are 
procured by the aid of a good constitution, 
moderate living and frugal habits. Your 
great money-maker seldom numbers among 
jiis possessions good digestion to wait on 
his appetite, a contented heart, or even a 
quiet mind. 
The only sad moment of my vacation 
spent in Maine was that of my departure, 
and even that was cheered by the prospect 
of returning another season. On the plat¬ 
form of the railroad- station my guide took 
my hand and said, “I will qot say farewell, 
for it is a painful word, but I will say, come 
again and stay a few more weeks next 
season. Come when you please. The latch¬ 
string of my door will always be on the 
outside, and there will always be a hearty 
welcome inside for you.” 
A GAME PARADISE. 
(Continued from page 160.) 
Toward the close^of their nesting season 
the wild pigeons we*,e said to feed off a bee¬ 
tle which carries t|ie bacteria of the hem¬ 
lock blight. Bluejays, whose weird cries are 
rightfully a part of every wild, mountainous 
scene, destroy the eggs of the tent cater¬ 
pillar, yet some hunters shoot them ruth¬ 
lessly—they cannot tell why. 
A S to the songbirds, forest fires have 
interfered with their natural retreats, 
domestic cats and boys with airguns 
molest them when they seek the vicinity of 
towns to nest. In the winter they are shot 
or netted by hordes of negro hunters in 
the south. Yet all of them were put on 
earth to prey on some special insect pest; 
each is a specialist, and if it is exterminated 
the pest will increase to an extent as to get 
beyond man’s control. For instance, in 
the south, quails, nighthawks, and mourn¬ 
ing doves, which devour the boll weevil, 
have become so reduced in numbers that 
cotton growers must- find other and ex¬ 
pensive means to fight the pests’ ravages. 
With the destruction of the big woodpeck¬ 
ers, or “weathercocks,” the ravages of pine, 
oak and hickory borers are now almost un¬ 
controllable. 
Wild ducks, geese and swans, once so 
prevalent along the Pennsylvania water¬ 
ways, are now quite rare; perhaps new laws
