A Michigander who took in the White

who was lettering on the street, and con-
6dentially informed him that he had
come to the springs to be cured Of the
habit of lying, and he asked the old
mans opinion of the chances for cure.

DEVOURING HlSTORICAL DOCU-
FRNTq

Among the great men of modern times
upon whom the pleasures of the table
have VIGOROUSLY exercised powerful at
fractions was the late Adolphe Theirs.
He was, however, gourmand rather
than a gourmet, and his favorite dish
was picked cod, an edible which he held
in such surprising esteem that he was
won't to describe it as "the masterpiece
of human invention" For nearly fifty
years he enjoyed it daily-that is to say,
whenever he dined ct home-until his
medical advisers discovered, apropos of
slight indisposition from which he
was suffering one day, that picked cod
was unsuited to the digestive organs OF
q septuagenarian, and laid their strict
injunction upon him to give it up.
Theirs would fain have disregarded this
prohibition, but his wife and Mile. Dosne
insisted upon its observance, and ban
ished picked cod from his table. De-
prived of the comestible he loved best,
he became so dismally low-spirited that
his friend Mignet, like himself Mar
seillaise and historian, took pity
upon him. Twice q week, on the
pretext Of consulting his Excel
\ lency respecting the details Of
a great historical work, he called upon
Theirs, invariably carrying aparcel under
his arm. Upon these occasions Mile.
Dosne would say: "More historical
documents! Mignet will really exhaust
our national archives at this rate. HI

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS.


There are 10, 131 American Omitted
States and Canada) newspapers-899
dailies, 8,42S weeklies, tri-weeklies and
semi-weeklies, 1903 monthlies and semi
monthlies. The total circulation of o
single issue of each of these papers
emitting 1920 not given-reaches the
enormous aggregate Of 20, 677, 53S copies,
divided as follows: Dailies, $50, 1856;
weeklies, tri-weeklies and semi-weeklies,
1851, 424; monthlies and semi-month-
lies, 3,625,598. This is an average of
2,04l to each paper for single issue,
and, taking all issues Of the whole for
one year, a grand total of 1886, 473, 592
copies. Taking ordinary forty-pound
newspaper at its average measure Of
1000 sheets (solid) to foot, one issue
of all these, piled up, would measure
5,170 feet (nearly mile) in height, or,
for whole year, 459, 119 feet lover ST
miles, high. Counting them all at the
average size Of 27x41, and placed end to
end, one issue would extend 7O,64S, 255
feet-13,3 $50 miles; for one year,
6,274, 61S, 1O6 feet, 1884 miles-or
forty-seven times around the earth, and
five times the distance from the earth to
the moon. In thousand ems of type
there are nearly 1000 different pieces,
and in an average four-page eight-col-
umn paper, set in solid-brevier type,
there are las, 900 ems, about $50 pounds,
or 100000 types in one newspaper. To
print one issue Of the total 49, pa.
pers of this average size, there must be
handled nearly 100000 pounds of
type, or 2,99S, 776, 1000 types. The total
number of editions Of all these dailies,
weeklies and monthlies, for one year,
would make 724, 796, and to print them
occasions the handling of 2, 173, 400, 849,-,
696, 1000 types. These averages are min,
imum rather than maximum. There is
usually twice as much type, ct least, in
an Office as will set the paper; conse-
quently, for this purpose alone, there
must be 100000 pounds in use, the
value Of which is about $4,000, 000.-

WHAT MAN OWES TO EARrH-WoRMS.

WHAT MAN OWES TO EARTH-WORMS.
DR.. Charles Darwin, whose "Natural
Selection "and descent of Man" have
revolutionized the biological studies Of
the present generation, has published
book which is destined to create a pro-
found as well as on amusing impression.
1t is entitled vegetable Mold and
arth-Worms," and it goes to prove
that this wriggling, Shiny little creature
is one OF the most useful and benefcent
OF any of !he various forms of life inhab-
iting the globe.
The earth, it seems, would practi-
cally be desert wereitnot for the worm.
The vegetable mold which makes the
soil fruitful is due to its labors, and the
secret Of its value is that it eats dirt,
which has been so well characterized as
"matter in the wrong place" In one
acre there is an average OF SO, 7G7 worms.
The prodigious result of their labor is
shown by an investigation of field in
Kent, England, where DR.. Darwin
found that the worms had thrown up di-
gested soil amounting to eighteen tons
per acre in one year. On sandy soil
at Leith-Hill the investigation showed
sixteen tons to the acre. Although ut
work only half the year, the sum tota,
of their activity is stupendous. The
great naturalist calculates the actual
weight of soil rendered serviceable by
the worm for vegetable life in Great
Britain alone, since its appearance there,
at the enormous total of 800, 900, 900, 600
of tons. Man subsists on animal and
vegetable food, but there would be very
little of either were it not for the worm.
1t will not do, therefore, any longer
to despise the worm. Indeed, not only
is it useful in creating the mold which
makes the earth fertile, but it helps also
to preserve for man the memorials OF
the past. Its mission is to cover all
naked surfaces with its ejecta. The
earth which passes through its intestinal
canal is rendered soft and fertile, and
covers and preserves whatever it is de.
posted upon.
The discovery of the value of the
worm in the scheme of evolution Gt is
not scientific to say creation) is another
instance showing the changed point Of
view which scientific men are taking Of
the origin and destiny of the human
race. The tree does not grow from it,
leaves downward, but from its roots up.
ward. The origin of our life dates bach
to the savage past, and not from the
blissful Eden. Our gratitude for the
good things of the world is due to the
worm and not to supernal providences
Our ancestors were not the gods but thu
beasts, and our main dependence fol
sustenance, strength and life is not up
on unseen spiritual agencies, but mate

The Election.

The past week has been one of intense ex-
citcment throughout the length and breadth of
the land, exultation and disappointment alter
nately taking possession of the partisans OF the
two great political factions of the country,
according to the complexion of the returns
from the various States which reached them.
So deep was the interest felt i'll the issue that
great crowds gathered around the telegraph
offices, newspaper offices and hotels in all the
large cities of the Union as soon as the sun
went down. and waited anxiously for news.
Similar groups formed in all the towns and
villages by people focking in from the sur
rounding country. The States that were found
to be doubtful were Connecticut, New Jersey,
New York, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Firsi MIA,
and North Carolina. 1t was expected that
definite news would be heard from New York
first, inasmuch as the polls there close at
o'clock in the afternoon and the count begins
Immediately. Never before were dispatches so
contradictory as they WERE Every quarter
of an hour brought news which reversed
the statements of the previous quarter OF an
hour and afforded the side which it favored
an opportunity 10 cheer Justify over the dis
comfiturc of their opponents. Quite early il
was found that Ohio had gone definitely for
the Republicans, and then for two days the
hopes OF both parties aternatcd with each batch
of news over the remaining States. Both
parties claimed with good reason all the doubt
Iui Stales. III Bn3lly Resolved ltSelI tflib Soii-
nectcut, and, strange TO say, Michigan, Cali
fornia, Nevada and Oregon were added to the
doubtful list In the course Of the next three
orfouird days it developed that Connecticut, New
Jersey, Virginia, North Carolina and Indiana
had gone Democratic by pretty decisive ma
iorities, and Michigan, Wisconsin, California,
Nevada and Oregon had gone Republican by
similarly decisive majorities. This gave Blaine
1S2 and Cleveland 1S6, and as POI is necessary
to elect, the issue turned upon the way in which
New York would go-the IS votes ofwhich State
would definitely settle the matter. Ever since
then the seesaw has been going on over that
State, each side from time to time claiming
plurality of from one or two hundred up to a
thousand, but the doubt finally resolved itself
in favor Of Cleveland by plurality Of about
1856.
The official count, however, was not in at
the time of going to press but it is not at all
probable that it can change the result.
The following table, although not official, is
not likely 30 vary to any extent from the official
count when il comes out:

A Terrible Tragedy.

On the afternoon of the 9th inst. Mrs. Gard
ner shot and instantly killed her husband, DR..
Schuyler Gardner, and young child, at Chicago
Taking up the dead child she carried it across
the street to neighbours house, left it there,
and calling to her neighbor to come over and
see her husband whom she had killed, re-
turned to her house and shot herself through
the temple, inflicting amortal wound. 1t ap-
pears that her husband lost his property a
short time ago, which made him morose and
sullen, and he accused his wife of inidelity.
This seems to have unbalanced her mind. At
the time of the shooting he was bidding her
good-by, preparatory to going to Rock Falls,
Ill, and it is supposed that she thought he was
going TO desert her.
