ApOthe0sis of the Worm,

DR.. Charles Darwin has written work
which is creating a profound sensation
in scientific circles. He has been study
ing the common carth-worm for over
thirty years, and has come to the conclu-
sion that mankind Is more indebted to
that lOathsome, wriggling little creature
than to any other race of the inferior
orders of creation. The earth, according
to Darwin, would be desert if it were
not for the worm. Its value-is that it
eats dirt and turns it into vegetable
mold. There are on an average, on every
acre of ground, over $1,000 worms.
These eat and digest from eight to six
teen tons of soil per acre in the course
of the year. Whatever passes through
the intestinal canal of the worm becomes
vegetable mold, and without this mold
there would be no crops and no increase
of grain or the animals which feed upon
the products of the soil. Nor is this all.
The worm is the preserver of the men,
orials of the past. Its mission is to
cover naked surfaces with vegetable
mold. The deserted cities and memorials
of the past are first hidden from sight by
the ejecta of the worm. Then comes the
dust and the sand-storm and the accre-
tons from outside of our atmosphere.
Troy is two hundred feet under ground.
and it took three thousand years to cover
it with so much soil, but the earth-worm
is the great sexton who buries the mon
uments of the past out of sight. Yet this
wriggling, loathsome creature is one of
the most degraded and imperfect organ
| lsms known to naturalists. It has no
| brain, no organs of vision. cannot hear
and has no sense of smell. It has q
certain amount of intelligence, and
knows enough to get out of the sunlight.
But Notwithstanding its deficiencies, it is
the greatest benefactor not only to man
but to the other superior animals. It
may comfort fishermen to know that the
worm they use in angling has but little
nervous sensibility, and cannot be said
to suffer pain when impaled on the fish
hook. 1t will not do hereafter to despise
the worm, for, as London paper well
says, at, from this time forth, will wear
the blue ribbon of science"

Winter Life In Holland.

In Holland the fun of winter life takes
many forms; and winter facilitates loco
motion, as the highways of summer avail
able for trek-schults become the best
thoroughfares for those who skate In
this way directly the ice bears, visits are
made and distances travelled which can
not be done in summer; and, instead of
going round and round, as We do here,
on a small confined space, the Dutch
make up party and pay visit to some
neighboring town or village. A bright
winters morning is always exhilarating,
especially to those whose red particles
are doing their work satisfactorily; how
free exercise, variety of character, and
constant change of scene all tend to
mark the day as red-letter one; and, to
crown all, comes the pleasant sensation
of feeling deservedly tired, with a nights
rest well earned. Should the frost be
sufficiently severe, a river is most inter
esting, being on large scale and par
taking more of the character of fair,
which is the case, for instance, on the
Mas, at Rotterdam. This is very we'll
pictured in some of the old Dutch en-
cravings; one particularly gives an ad-
mirable idea of the whole thing, show
ing sledges; ice-boats, stalls, booths
Now, the freezing of the Mas is most
uncertain; while other waters are frozen
hard, the Rotterdamers still remain land
bound The Mas run very strongly,
and the difficulty is for the first coating
of ice to form. When o severe frost
catches the still water during the night,
then ''once begun, soon DONE" and the
crews, who turn their births at night,
wake up i'll the morning to find them
selves frozen in. The canals naturally
traffic is supplanted by baggage-sledges,
large and small. Near dwelling houses
are seen the little box sledges for the
children. These are precisely the same
as the seventeenth century cont1ivances;
the child sits with just room for its feet,
and, with stick in each hand, pushes
astern and propels itself, ahead. The
adult sledges are in some cases simply
gorgeous, as the opportunity affords
great latitude for form, great scope for
variety of gear, harness and trappings
They are generally rather of the swan
outline, the ''sleighers" sitting in the
body, the driver perched at the back, as
on the tail, the sweeping irons following
the curve of the swans neck; over these
run the reins. One horse generally con.
stitutes the team, but in an old engrav.
ing three horses in single file are shown
drawing q sledge de lure. - Good

Ye Olden Time.

The old, legitimate, delightful idea of
an inn is becoming obsolete the rapid
ity with which distance is consumed OBJ
viates the needs that so long existed of
by-way retreats and hating places. The
modern habit of travel has infinitely
lessened the romantic probabilities of q
Journey the rural ale-house and pictur-
esoue hostel now exist chiefly in the do
main of memory; crowds, haste and
ostentation triumph over privacy and
rational enjoyment. Old Walton would
discover now but few OF the secluded
inns that refreshed him on his plscato-
rial excursions; the ancient ballads on
the wall have given place to French pa
per; the scent of lavender no longer
makes the linen fragrant; instead of the
crackle of the open wood fire we have
the dingy coal smoke, and blinds usurp
the place of snowy curtains.
Few hosts can find time to gossip !; the
excitement of stage-coach arrival is no
more, and a poet might travel thous-
and leagues without meeting romantic
"maid of the inn," such as Southey has
immortalized. Jollity, freedom and COM
| fort are no longer inevitably associated
with the name the world has become a
vast procession that scorns to linger on
| its route. Thanks, however, to the con-
sentative spell of literature, we can yet
appreciate, in imagination, at least, the
good, old English inn. Indeed. it is
quite impossible to imagine what British
authors would have done without the
solace and inspiration of the inn. Addi-
son fed thither from domestic annoy
ance; Dryden's chair at "Will's" was
an oracular throne when hard pressed
Steele and Savage sought refuge in a
tavern and wrote pamphlets Sterne
opens his Sentimental Journey with
his landlord; Shenstone confessed he
found "life's warmest welcome at an
inn."
The most Characteristic scenes d
Scott and Dickens occur on this vantage
ground, where the strict unities of life
are temporarily discarded, and its zesf
miraculously quickened by fatigue, hun
