Beveral high levels, however, have bsen touched by wheat since then, but they were caused chicfly by speculators who Scornered" the market, andâ€"gave an aftifical value to the cereal. In August, 1872, wheat sold in Ohicago abt $1.61, and. by November it was down; to $1.01. ‘In 1887 an‘attempt was made .to ‘corner‘ the wheat market, and when‘ cash wheat was selling‘at. 80 cents, it was freely predicted that $2 wheas would be reached inside of three months ; but the syndicate of speculaâ€" tors had not mads good calculations The stocks in the country were much larger than they anticipated, and wheat poured in from every quarter. Oa June 15 the corner collapsed, and in three hours wheat dropped from 92% to 72% cents per bushel. In 1888 speculators cornered the market successfully, and forced the price of wheat up from 71 cents in April to $2 a bushel on the 30th of September. The development of crop statistics has greatly impeded violent fluctuations in wheat in recont years, and no such racords of wheat advances and declines as those which prevailed in Englaad a hundred years ago are possible toâ€"day, because of the elaborate science diâ€" rected toward gathering crop statistics Not only is the national governmsnt engaged in this work, but private conâ€" cerns, which apparently make a mint of money out of the enterprise. These latter supply their private information to & few .large epeculators, who pay good round prices for the benefit of the exclusive news, and use accordingâ€" ly. Later thess cropâ€"statistics agencies have published their reports in full, but not untilâ€"the subscribers to them have threshed out all the grain. In other words, the big grain manipulators have worked the news for all ib is worth, and thez they are satisfied to <let the pubiic have the benefit of it. None of the exchanges in the country receive the reports of these agencies until long after they have been used by their fow subscribers. As a rule these fictitious prices last only a few months, and the price of bread is rarely affected by them ; but where the high prices are the outcome of natural causes, such as a general ecarcity of crops, both fljur and bread advance also. In the present high wheat market, flour and bread aro inâ€" creasing in cost, because there is a genâ€" eral scarcity of wheat stocks in the world‘s granaries, and this, more than the war, are responsible for recent vioâ€" lent flactuations. F.uctations in the prices of wheat were violent in those days before crop statisticians _ bhad _ developed their science for forecasting the future. I1 Auzust of 1810 wheat sold in England at $3 60 per bushel, and the following JSune it fell to $2 69 ; then it advanced sharply to $5.60 per bushel in Aagust of 1812, and dropped to $2 30 in 1813 In 1866 we had a period of vioient fluctuations in wheat prices. Early in the year cash wheat sold in Chicago at T7 cents per bushel, but in November it was solling at $203 per bushel. Following this came the celebrated ‘corner‘ in ~wheat, which forced the price up to $2.85 by the 1st of May. This is the highest level reached in this country in modern times, & A writer in the Country Gentleman says :â€"Wheat at $2 per bushel â€" seems remarkable, in view of the positive assertion made a year ago that dollar wheat would never again be realized in this country. But. even this high figure does not represent some of the war prices, or famine and "corner" prices, that bave prevailed in the past. In August of 1812 wheat reached the remarkable price of $5.60 per bushelâ€" the highest on record. This was due to the failure of the Eoglish crop, and tbo the prohibitive‘tariff on cereals at that date. by speculators, The errors made by the government have been so glaring at times that the report is now disâ€" counted by . most speculators.

At this season of the year Mr. Campâ€" bell is busy visiting the various muniâ€" cipalities preparatory to the perforâ€" mance of the statue labor work of the province. It is needless to say that his services are in great demand. We know of no busier man in public life toâ€"day. But his heart and soul are in the road reform movement, and if there is not a greabt improvement in the public highways of this province during the next few years it will not be Mr. Campbell‘s faulb. In the performance of his duties he visits the various muâ€" nictpalities requesting bis services, examines the condition of the streets, roads, etc., addresses a public meeting of the councils and citizans, and subseâ€" quently presents a written report in detail. In addition to this, general iformation on road and street imâ€" provement is distributed by means of bulletins sent oub by the Department of Agriculture and through the press. ‘I found by patient experiment that the health microbe becomes active at 15, reaches maturity at 20, begins to lose vigor at 40 and afterwards becomes practically useless as a tonic. ‘There is not a human ill, unless it be hypocrisy, for which nature does not provide a remedy, and I recommend the health germ which builds its nest on lovely woman‘s lips as worth more than the whole materia medica.‘ Professor Snore is very absent mindâ€" ed..

Mr. Campbell has for the past seven years been associate editor of the Municipal World, during which time hbe devoted considerable attention to the good roads question. He was largeâ€" |y instrumental in organizing the Oaâ€" tario Good Roads Association, of which he was one of the first directors and is at present one of the viceâ€"presidents [n this latter concection he was very energetic in bringing the matter of good roads before the farmers‘ institutes, dairy and other associations. In 1894 he was appointed a member of the Onâ€" tario Toll Roads. Commission and in that way obtained a tborough acquainâ€" tance, not only with the toll roads system, but with country roads in genâ€" eral. In 1896 Mr. Campbell was apâ€" pointed Provincial Road Instructor. This position was created by the Hon. John Dryden, Mimistcr of Agriculture, whose recommendation to the Logislaâ€" ture was unanimously adopted by its members. ‘How could I ? _ I had first to save myself.‘â€"Atlanta Constitution, When a young man, Mr, Campbell begzan the study of engineering and urveying and completed a successfal course in these suijscts in Toronto in 1895, when he entered into partnerâ€" ship with Mr. James A Bell, then city engineer of St. Thomas, where a large practice in municipal engineering was carried on in the surrounding counties. n the retirement of Mr. Bell in 1891, Mr. Campbell succeeded to the position of city engineer of S6.

Ontario‘s Road Instructor Kissing As a Medicine A. W. CAMPBELL. A Little off. The Soudan is fanied for its deadly climatc, which either kills or premaâ€" turely ages the majority of white folks who penetrate beyond its frontiers. Indeed it has often been nick named, and with good cause too, "The manâ€" eating Soudan" by reason of the numâ€" ber of white lives it has consumed. Yoet, in spite of this, there has never been a campaign where there bas been so little sickness, where so few men have been compelled to fall out, even in the loogest marches, and where the troops have been got into such magnificent physical and moral trainâ€" ing that they would actually cover thirty miles of sand with empty water bottles, without slaking their thirst once from the beginning to the end of the march, at the close of which they would find themselves sufficiently fresh and vigorous to win a hard fought victory such as that of Atbara. Of course, all kinds of devices and tricks were resorted to in the earlier stages of the present campsign to defeat this innovation of the war deâ€" partment, and one wily Greek liquor dealer even mauaged, uo one knows exactly how, to get several waggon loads of spirits up beyond Wady Halfa for the purposs of retailing them to the officers and men of the expedition. But fortunately Sir Horatio Kitchener obtained an inkling of the affair, capâ€" tured the convoy, and caused every bottle and barrel to be mercilessly destroyed, the liquor merely serving to poison the sand and slake the thirst of the ever parched desert. NO LIQUOR BEFORE A FIGHT. Aithough the British Admiralty has not yet foilowed the example of the United States, which has long since abandoned the daily ration cf grog to But the scheme has fulfilled all expectations. Thanks to total abstinâ€" encs, the men have been able to make forced marches of the most extraordiâ€" nary character across the burning desert and under a blazing sun, the heat cf whore rays cin only be appreâ€" ciated by those who have lived under the equator,. Liquor has until recently played so important a role in warfare, to the horâ€" rors of which it has in no small measure contributed, that the fact of Sir Horâ€" atio Kitchener‘s recent victory at Atbara heving been won by a force composed exclusively of total abstainers calls for serious consideration and attention. _ It is probably the first occasion that so brilliant a feat of arros has been achieved by a boiy of white troops who for months previously bad not been permitted to touch a drop of any kind of stimulant whatsoevrer. For if ‘Tommy Atkins‘ of the line, and bis comrade, ‘Sandy,‘ of the Higbland regiâ€" ments, have refrained from alcohol in any form whatsoever, and have resâ€" tricted themselves to tes, lime juice and Nile water, it cannot be attributed to any conscientions scruples on their part or to the sudden development of highâ€"fiâ€"dged principles on the score of drink, but solely to the establishment of a new system by the British military authorities which is exciting & good deal of interest on the part of the War Departments of Continental Euarope, and which, in view of the corflict now in progress between this country and Spain, may likewise commend itself to Secretary Alger and General Miles. EXPERIMENT3 IN ENGLISH ARMY. It seems that f,r some time, by orders of Fieldâ€"Marshal Lord Wolseley, the British Commanderâ€"inâ€"Chief, careâ€" ful and exhaustive experiments have been in progress with a view to ascerâ€" taining the relative cffects of alcohol and of total abstinence upon the physiâ€" cal endurance and staying qualities of the troops. _ Advantage has been taken both of the annual mauouvers, as well as of these petty wars of which Eagâ€" land has a few on hand in one part or other of the world almcss all the time, to examine carefually the question. One regiment would be deprived of every drop of stimulant, while another belongâ€" ing to the same brigade would be allowed to purchase as usual its malt liqaors ab the canteen, and a third would receive a sailor‘s ration of grog in the form of whiskey, _ In each instance the experiment went to show that, whereas at first the corps which had received an allowance of grog surâ€" passed the others in dash and in impetâ€" uosity of attack, yet after the third or forth day its members began to show notable signs of lassitude and a lack of apirit and endurance. The same maniâ€" festations, though in a minor and slower degree, were apparent in the regiment restricted to malt liquors, whereas the men who had been kept from every kind of stimulant increased in staying power, alertness and vigor every day. The result of these experiments led the British War Department to decide, not on the ground of principle, but solely for the sake of maintaining the powers of endurance of the troops now epngaged in the Soudan campaigno, not to permit a single drop of stimulant in camp save for hospital use. Wine, spirits and malu liquors have been barred from officers‘ mess table as well as from the regimental canteen, and from generals in command down to the drummer boys and the camp followers liquid refreshments have been reâ€" stricted to tear and oatmeal water. When one remembers how devoted the Englishman is to his beer and the Scotchman to bis "mountain dew," modern history abounding in the ups>ts of Cabinets, illâ€"advised enough to atâ€" tempt an increase of the tix on these stimulants, which are regarded not as luxuries, but as actual necessities of life, the boldness and likewiso the diffiâ€" culties of_the innovation will be appreâ€" ciated. This is the Order Given to the Force in the Soudan. ‘Exâ€"Attache‘ writes to the Chicago Tribune as follows : NO LIQUOR FOR THE TROOPS. TROOPS FREE FROM SICKNESS DECIDED FOR ABSTINENCE aterlo At Toroato the full grown insectsâ€" the producersâ€"emerge from the galls, the scales of which open to give them exit, about August lst. Oa emerging they are slightly imperfect, but in one day ample wings are developed which enable them to fly long distances, Af ter distribution the female settles on a spruce leaf an1 laysâ€"under herseifâ€" about thirtyâ€"five eggs and then dias, resting on the eggs. In about a week the young sixâ€"footed larvae are hatched. They crawl about and find immature buds into which they burrow and of course remain quirscent during the winter. But in the following spring their prosencs in the bud causes it to develop into a "gall" instead of a norâ€" mal twig. The lice in the galls give birth to other living lice so that about thirty individuals are found under each Prepared for the Bureau of Forestry by \Wm. Brodic, Toronto. In the Spring of 1897 many spruce trees in and around Toronto were found to be more or less injured by a pseudo gall insect. The galls were enlarged and deformed buds of the previous year, usually towards the tips of the twigs. Investigation showed that these galls were formed by a small insect popularly called the spruce gallâ€"louse, the Chermes abietes of entomologists. A short account of this destructive pest, as then known in Ontario, spâ€" peared in the annual report of the Clerk of Forestry for the Province of Ontario for 1897.. Since then ib has spread with astonishing rapidity and has been detected at many points, from Peterborough to the county of Bruce, where it was lately detected by Dr. Hunter on native spruce trees in a swamp in the township of Calross. It has also been found on native spruces in Muskoka, near Ucterson station. S ) far ib would appear that unless this insecb is checked by some artificial means it will soon destroy our ornaâ€" mental spruce trees and hedges and, extending northwards, do immense injary to our spruca forests. The trees already attacked by this spruce gallâ€"louse in Ontario are the Europsan spruce, Picea excelss, tle double sprucs or black spruce, Picea nigra, the white spruce, Picea albs, and the ba‘sam fir, Abies balsames, and it may also be found on the hemlock, Tsuga Canadconsic. _ This insect is native to Northern Euarope and was introduced into the United States on imported spruce trees and thence into Oatario, or ib may have been introdac ed here direct from Euarope, as for many years there has been an annual importation of young Earopean spruce trees in Ontario. Modern battleshbips and cruisers are cquipped with gigantic pieces, relativeâ€" ly fex in number, but carrying pro jectiles of colossal weight over a range of several miles. Ib is no longer necâ€" essary to pepper the hull of a man ofâ€" war full of cannon ball hols in order to sink it This can be schieved by one single wellâ€"directed shot from any of the great guns with which the warâ€" ship of the present day is armed. Everything depends therefore upon the precision of the gunnery, and the belligerent whos> every shot carries home is practically certain to win the day. The Eaglish admiralty bas, in fact, recognized this by forbidding the use of liquor of any kind on the day when ships are going into action, and no one need feel surprised if the present war leads to the grog ration being abolished aitogether in the British navy. OPERATIONS ON LAND. In the case of hostile operations on land the same consideration prevails, and must weigh in the balance of victory or defeat. Itis not merely that the soldier‘s staying powers are augâ€" mented by a total abstinence, but likewise his shooting is improved. In theso dajys, especially with the new quick firing rifles and guns, there is a tendency on the part of the troops to fire wildly and to squander their ammunition at the outset of the engagement. Indeed the one object of the officers is to keep their men calm, cool and collected and free from exciteâ€" ment, so that they may reserve their fire for the proper moment, and then fire to hit. Aund lastly, it may be well to point out that the spectacle of bloodshed and the noise and din of battle are quite sufficient in themselves to arouse all the latent disposition to savagery that luarks in every human breast. This being the case, is ib wise or polite still farther to loosen the restrictions of civilization by the use of alcohol. This, of course, is a radical departure from the practice, which has existed until quite recently, and which still prevails in the navies and armies of every continental power of the Old World. But it is a step, which is renâ€" dered imperative by the extreme imâ€" portance cf sighting with the utmost degree of exactitude the guns and rifles, upon the precision of which the success of every acion, no mattar whether at sea or land, nowedays depends. Indeed, what arov> 1 most admiraâ€" tion at the battle of Atbara was the calm and collected manncr in which the Highland regiments advanced across the bullotâ€"swept plain in front of the Dervish Z reba, apparently just as free from undue excitement, and coolly keeping their formation with as much exactitude as if they had merely been on the drill ground. its navy, and which prohibits the use of stimulants on board when at ses, yet orders have r:ecently be issued to ths commanders of a‘l British menâ€"ofâ€"war in commi:sion that in lieu of the doable rations of grog formerly served out to the crews when going into action, not a drop of alcoho‘ic liquor, no matter whather spirit, wine or malt, is to be allowed when there is any fighting to be done. In order to satisfy the thirst engendered by the heat, exertion and smoke inseparable from a navel combat, supplies of oatmeal and water for drinking are arranged all over the ship. 2rponicle, Ihntursday, June 2, The Spruce Gailâ€"Louse. (Chermes abictis) scale of the gall. The galls are usually irregularly spherical and coften more than a bhalf inch in diameter. When growing they are of s yellowish green color, but during the winter they as sume a reddish brown tint, which they retain until the end of May, when they asually fall from the tree. This is the usual form of this gall but there is anotber form, not a gall, in which the injury is done in the leaf axils. As these insects in the feeding stage are within the gall, and the gall is perfectly water tight, so that no fluid can pene:â€" trate, poisioning is out of the question, and as in the migrating larval stage, they do not eat, poison is equally useâ€" less, Of course in this larval stage soap emulsiors might be of some use, if applied abundantly at the proper time. Rut withoubt any doubt the cheapest and best plan as yet tried in (ntario is to clip off the galls as soon as they are noticedâ€"say in Juneâ€"and always before the first of August, while the producers are in the galls, and immediately burn them up. When a tree is too much infested to be dealt with in this way it should be cut down and burnt at once. Of course there is no use in doing this after the producers are out of the galls. Saveral cases are known where this plan was carried oub with very satisfactory results, and it is respecifually recomâ€" mended that all those baving spruce trees in charge should carefully see to the clearing of their trees and the exâ€" termination of this formidable iusect pest. As some of our nurseries are affected, buyers of evergreen nursery stock should be very careful to ses that the young trees are perfectly free from this insect pest. Woodstock Sentinel Review : In the opinion of doctors and nurses in attendâ€" ance upon George Stewart, the young man injuared by colliding with a buggy on Vacsittart Ave. on Friday night, the accident was a most remark able one. At the hospital last night an examination of the patient by the doctors revealed a dark spot in the skin on the thigh cpposite to the wound. This at firss was taken for a bruise, but it was decided to examine it. _ Dr, McLurg cut the apparently bruized part, and a short distance in discovered a pieco of cloth from the young man‘s trousers, and also a piece of shirt, The shaft of the buggy had gonse far enough through his body to show a mark on the opposite side.
