Hume has quite a vigorous paper on "The Heart of speculation," which he locates ou Wall street. New York, and known as Stock Exchange. He says it i3 an evil iu the land, a danger to private morals, a disturbing force in general business, and a foe to public morals. He thinks a not overdrawn description of this gigantic and enticing business would be to picture it atf.au enormous devil-fish, with a hundred thousand arms reaching Kaunas. sSubscriptiou $1.00 per yem' Ik R.
