DARwIE, in his new book, estimates
that there are in gardens SO, 1871 worms
to the acre. This tallies with our
count when we were digging garden

worms: but when we wanted bait for
fishing the garden didn't pan out a
dozen worms to the acre They had
all emigrated to the garden of some
other fellow who never goes a-fshing.

The French Drums,

General Billiot has issued an order Of
the day announcing the establishment
of drums in the French infantry regi-
ments. A Paris letter 10 the London
World says: "Here is an end Of the glo-
ry Of General Fare, for the abolition Of
drums was the only act to which he had
attached his nane. General Fare, con-
trary to the opinion Of Turenne, Catinat,
Frederick the Great, and Napoleon L.,
proclaimed drums 10 be useless. lie
thought it wonld he Il fine thing for Il re-
publican minister Of war to suppress the
drum, which is an essential y republican
instrument. Joseph Barra, the boy Of
fourteen, who was killed at Chollet in
the year eleven of the republic, was a
drummer. Then there were the famous
drummer Of Arcole and the drummer of
nlontniirail. The suppression of the
drums led to the suppression of those
superb dr1lnl-majors, gistening with
gold lace. and brandishing formidable
canes. Ii the suppression of the
drums had been maintained, the French
language itself would have seriously suf:

fallen int" the category of obsolete ex-
pressl0ns needing marginal notes. The
drum itself would have become IL curl
ousity: Happily Genera! Bi!liot has pre-
vented all these disa and, at the re-
view at i.onScamps on July Ia, the Par
isians will once more hear the mingled
sounds of the bngle and the drum, in
spiriting the march of their gallant
'piOup:ous.'

A Montana lt0llrt Scnnn

Miles City Press: One of Miles City's
residents, just returned from the Magin-
mis- mining region, gives the following re-
port of a lively scene in court at Maiden
vile: One Pat Maloney, former Miles
City celebrity, now a deputy sheriff, had
arrested rough named Jack Hawkes.
for highway robbery. Hawkes. was
hauled before Judge McPartlin, who
ordered Maloney to disarm the prisoner.
The deputy sheriff. drawing 45-caliber
Colts revolver, began skirmishing GIN
gerly around the court room followed
steadily by the muzzle of Hawkes. pistol,
which grated ominously at full cock,
with steady aim at his person. Suddenly.
the court. wearied at the delay, drew
from a side pocket six-shooter with a
prodigiously long barrel, and aiming it
tull at Hawkes. head, thundered Out.
Hold up your hands, you id scoun,
drel, or I'll send You to hi across lots"
Hawkes. recognized the situation. and
surrendered without further ado. The
upshot: of his examination was that he
was released on triHing bail, while the
complaining witness, who was the person
who had been robbed, was committed to
al! to be detained as witness until the
fall term of court.

Archibald Forbes, whose experience
as war correspondent has given him
opportunities Of knowing European ar
mics pretty We'll, writes for the North
American Review on the American ar
my, contrasting it, 50 far as the con,li-
ton OF the soldier goes. most f,yorably
with the British. Our soldiers have,
Mr.. Forbes says, better pay, better and
more abundant rations, better provi:s-
ion for retirement, far better prospect OF
promotion, and, if they need it, as it
seems good many of them do, better
prison. The British soldier is paid a
shilling day, and his daily ration is
three fourths Of pound of meat and a
pound Of bread. The American gets
from $l3 to SIG 4 month for his first five
years OF service, and for aration twelve
ounces of pork, or:twenty ounces of beef,
eighteen ounces Of soft bread, one pound
ofhard bread, or twenty ounces Of meal
besides liberal allowance Of peas or
beans, rice, coffee, sugar, candles, and
so forth. At the end Of his service he
Is entitled to land bounty. His pros-
pect OF promotion is indicated by the
fact that Of the 432 officers of the United
States cavalry service, lis have risen
from the ranks. The British soldier has
no chance Of this. On the whole the
United States army is managed on busi-
ness principles, while in England the ar-
my is made show, and its rewards, so
far as the private soldier is concerned
are empty compliments.

cites and membership of over 1900, were

convention from several archbishops and
many bishops heartily indorsing the objects
and work Of the association; and it was COM
mented upon in the convention that now
for the first tine since the movement of tenn
perance reform was inaugurateI, the Ger
man arch bishops and bishops have ;oined
heartily in the work. The association
pledges itself to solve the yexed question
Of temperance reform bv voluntary

The remarkable growth of the cultiva-
ton and universal use of flowers, within
few years, is considered by late writer
as an important evidence Of an improve
nent in civilization. The contrast OF
sentiment in this regard, between the
present and twenty or even ten years
ago, when florists were practically I'M
know and only the commonest sorts of
flowers adorned houses and grounds.
and their care WAS relegated to women
as an amfable weakness of the sex-ia
very striking. Then, flowers we're al:
lowed ut weddings or funerals, but to
have them on the dinner table would
have been considered finical or outre in
the extreme, and their appearance i'm
church might have been considered All
offence to the proper simplicity of wor-
ship. Now, the most busy, enerpetic,
practical and money-getting nation in the
world surpasses all others in its devotion
to the most fragile and delicate of adorn-
ments. The most stolid and unromantic-
looking man Of business puts a rose in
his button hole when he goes down to
deal in stocks, and the book keeper.
who is buried in figures all day, would
think his desk barren withouta bouquet.
Flowers have forced their way into the
most incongruous associations of labor
and trade. Among those to whom they
would be more naturally appropriate,
the women and children, they have
wonderfully increased as accessories of
the toilet or adornment, and in house
mold and social life they have multiplied
TO an astonishing degree. Fashion has
set her seal upon them as we'll as the
natural taste for beauty, and altogether
1t Is the apotheosis of flowers. No one
will deny that it is good thing.

Chill and Peru Investigation

The unanimous report ofthe congressional
committee has been published. Secretary
Blaine, l.. P. Morton, minister to France,
and Messrs. Fitzpatrick at Chilli, and Hurl-

Secretary Blaine was startled by the positive
declaration ofShipherd, apparently endorsed
by many prominent and respectable men,
and at the time accompanied by United
Slater senator as his counsel into sending a
warning telegram to Hurlbut, somewhat
peremptory in tone as follows: "The in
fuence Of your position must not be-tsed in
aid OF the Credit 1ndustriel or any other f.
nancial or speculating association The re-
port says:
The committee detect in this correspond
ence nothing difficult to comprehend or in
consistant with the previous actions or dec
larations and they fully absolve Hurlbut
from the malicious and unfounded charges.
Minister Fitzpatrick at Chilli and Minister
Hurlbut at Peril were each doubtless affect
ed by partiality for the nation to which he
was accredited; but beyond tllis-which. if a
ianlt proceeded from their generous natures
no stain can rest upon the memory of either
of these brave and accomplished officers. In
connection with the contract of the Credit
Co., the committee are clearly of opinion
that Mr.. Morton has done nothing and at no
time had he the remotest intention of doing
anything which could compromise the hon.
orable discharge of his official duties, adding,
however, that all ministers of the United
States shonld carefully avoid all complica-
tiCns which can by any possibility Justify
suspicion of personal interest in their official
relations.
