WORTH OF IMMIGRANTs.-Every immi-
grant to this country from Europe is
worth $500 on an average, according to
Mr.. Edward Young, chief of the socalled
Bureau of Statistics at Washington. This
is little lower than the estimate hither-
to usually made, some authorities placing
the figures at 81 900, and some at s ,125.
Mr.. Young's computation is based upon
the assumption that the wages oflsborers
and unskilled persons throughout the
country averages s4O0 year, and that
each man represents family of four
persons. The cost of maintaining this
family is s24O, leaving sl60, or $40 for
each member, as the amount Of its net
annual earnings At five per cent, this
sum represents capital Of about $500,
the amount above mentioned. The money
brought by the immigrants is but s6S
per head, nearly all Of which has to be
paid out for travelling expenses to the
interior.

TIE CURRANT WoRM.-We are inform
ed by DR.. f. Worcester of Waltham that
the currant worm, so destructive to a
favorite fruit, may be fully and almost
Immediately destroyed by the use of
carbolate of lime. The doctor tried the
powder in many instances during the past
summer, and found that while it was fully
as effective as hellebore, it was less disa-
greeable, less costly and perfectly safe.
The method of using it is to sprinkle it
over the vines as soon as the worm makes
its appearance, bringing 1t well in contact
with the leaves, and soon the insect is
destroyed. 1t will need but two or three
applications, and the work is done. In
this way, for few cents large quantities
of currant bushes may be saved and the
fruit allowed to mature and no danger
whatever incurred. Neither the foliage
nor the fruit is in any way injured by the
carbolate of lime. 1t will be well for our
readers to remember this whep the fruit
season returns. - Boston Jotrnal Of

Luther and the Germany OF To-day.

1t will be remembered that luther had
by "the profoundly learned lady, Cathe-
rine Luther, his gracious housewife
whom he valued "above the kingdom Of
France, or the state Of Venice" six chill
dren. The eighth generation Of his de-
scendants, was represented, in the male
line, by Joseph Carl Luther alone. This
Joseph had several children, of whom
all except two daughters, Maria and
Elizabeth, were in 1867 living in Halle
or its vicinity. None of them were at
all distinguished, and nobody in Eisleben
or anywhere else knew anything concern
ing them beyond the simple fact that
they existed. "Sense becomes nonsense,
welfare plague alas for thee that thou
art a grandson !" says Goethe.
The memory of the mighty monk is not
cherished as it deserves, either by the
Prussian government or the German peo-
pie. Not in all the city of Eislebcn,with
its two daily newspapers, could | find a
photograph of the Reformer, and it was
with difficulty that discovered in an OBJ
scure Buchandlung one of his house,
The stone step of his humble dwelling is
little worn now by the tread Of reverent
pilgrims, and the cobwebs stretch athwart
the stairs. Germany has erected few
statues in honor of genius-to Gutenberg,
Faust, and Schoffer, to Goethe and Schil-
Ter /; but most of its statues are in apoth.

Germany, which is full Of bronze kings
who in their generation were tyrannic
idiots,plants no worthy statue to Hum

all practical matters Germany is the
youngest Of all civilized peoples, and like
young girl, her Imagination runs on

The Feats of Ramadhan.

On the afternoon of the oath Decem.
Der, in company with Senator Wright and
Roberts, we started for the Mohammedal
town Of Vonswa, four miles north Of the
st. Paul's River, to attend the great feast
OF Ramadhan on the following day. This
feast celebrates the revelation of the
Koran.
We reached the town about six O'Clock
P. NJ, just as the new moon had been
deserted, fact which was announced by
the firing Of guns. Soon after we noticed
groups Of men in various parts ofthe tow,
with sumptuous bowls before them, break
ing their fast. They fast during the day
for thirty days preceding this feast.
On the following morning, about hall
an hour before daylight, the cry of the
Muezzin summoned the faithful to prayer
We went out and witnessed the very i'm.
pressive early morning worship of thesc
devoted followers of Mohammed.
About nine o'clock, seventy-fve mel

At a recent meeting of the Boston So.
ciety of Natural history, Prof j. B.
Perry read an article "On the Glacial
Period in New England, with the remark
that it contained the main results of his
studies in this direction during the last
fifteen years.
Proceeding at the onset to give a brief
account of the indications of ice agency.
he first enumerated those furnished by the
underlying rock masses. These are eros.
ion, as of lake beds, or the like planta.
tion, as almost every newl ly-bared surface
indicates also striation, as witnessed by
the countless scratches and furrows on the
rocky floor of the country, Next were
brought into view the facts indicative of
ice agency from the everything material
These are such as the composition of ty-
pical drift, its being generally different
from that of the subjacent rocks; its de.
rivation, it having been for the most part
brought short distance from the north /;
as well as its condition, it invariably being
a heterogeneous jumble.
Indication from incidental phenomena
were likewish noticed; such as the &C.
cumulation of travelled matter, morains
being an instance the location of perch
ed rocks, they being often found in extra
ordinary abundance on isolated SUBMITS !;
and the position of certain old beaches, as
of the shore remains at Ripton Vermont
These and other kindred facts having
been advanced as decisive proofof glacial
agency, Mr.. Perry proceeded to inquire
under what form according to the evidence
the ice must have acted. Were the phe-
nomena in question produced by ice-bergs
as supposed by Sir Charles Lyell and the
geologists of his school, in connection with
a general depression, of the country p
The several cited effects of glacial agency
having been passed in review and SUBJ
jected to close scrutiny, it was found that
the larger portion of them could never
have been produced by icebergs; that
the remainder may be better explained in
another wap; that for the most part the
theory of depression is entirely unsup-
ported by facts, and therefore to be dis
carded.
Tho iceberg hypothesis being disposed
of, Mr.. Perry next inquired whether the
results were produced in connection with
the genera. elevation of the country at
the close of the Tertiary era, as held by
Prof. Dana. 1t was shown that the the
ory of felevation is also mere supposition
wholly unauthorized by positive evidence !;
that the facts relied on for its support, as
change of climate, the existence of pot.
holes, of 6ords and of aerial deposits row
lying beneath the sea, can ali be more
satisfactorily explained in the light of an.
other view and that instead Of an ele.
walton Of the land, there was perhaps far
