Facts About Worms.

Worms are very interesting animals"

eyes, they will do as a type The COM
mon earth worm is covered with bristles,
which in reality are in the form of re-
curved hooks These hooks extend from
head TO tail, and may be felt by pulling
the worm backward through the fingers.
1.-The mouth of a worm is placed in the
second segment, near the apex of the body
Worms feed on earth, filling themselves
with generous supply thereof, for the
sake of the nutritive particles contained
therein. The common belief is that if YOU
cut worm in two the separate parts will
grow into worms. This is not strictly true.
Worms are propagated from eggs To cut
a worm in two means that the hinder seq
ment will die, the forward part live"
what are those little horse hairs found
in pools and creeks? The boys call them
worms and snakes. What are they in real
ityf"
They are what are termed round
worms The round worm is a remarkable
animal. 1t begins life as larva in mud or
in water pool. When we'll developed it
becomes aquatic. 1t multiplies very rapid
ly, so rapidly in fact that many people say
it rained worms If you cut one of these
wiggling worms into a dozen parts the
probability is that each separate part will
live. "-Detroit Free Press.

Human Frailty.
bay tree.

We are frail creatures physically-the most
robust among us. The unhealthy man or
woman is in great measure incapable of
benefit to society. If, for instance, bilious
ness, trouble of frequenoe and often OBJ
stinately resistant of ordinary medication,
obstructs the harmonious action of the liver
and the bowels, the sufferer is sure to be dys-
peptic. The three disordered conditions are
sure to be confirmed by neglect. Under the
erroneous impression that there is no hoI O
for him, an impression in all Likelihood con
firmed by the use of Objectionable remedies,
the sufferer is apt to become neglectful, nay,
even reckless, and that the sooner he is re
moved from the sphere of human endeavor
the better for all parties concerned. What a
series of mistakes! His liver is responsible.
1t is an incorporate part of himself. How dis
cipline it? BY the aid of Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, certain medium for the re-establish-
ment of united. Regular action in the stomach,
liver and bowels. 1t also cures and prevents
malarlai, rheumatic and kidney troubles.

Butterflies That Battle.

In The Victorian Naturalist G. Lyell,
Jr., of South Melbourne, notes that while
walking along the edge of a mountain
stream in Gippsland he observed peculiar
habit of the Victorian butterfly, Papilio
macleayanus. One of these butterflies was
seen to alight close to the water, into
which it backed till the whole of the body
and the lower part of the hind wings were
submerged, the two forelegs alone retain
ing their hold of the dry land. After re-
naming in this position for something like
half a minute it flew away, apparently
refreshed.
During the morning." says Mr.. Lyell,
81 noticed quite a number doing the same
thing. In one instance no less than four
were seen to be within a space of not more
than three yards, and to make sure that
was not deceived ! captured several as they
rose from the water, and found in each
case the body and lower edge of the hind
wings quite wet While in the water the
fluttering of the wings, so noticeable at
other times, was suspended, and so intent
were the butterflies in the enjoyment of
their cold bath that they would hardly
move, even when actually touched by the
net.
apparently the heat of the weather
drove them to the water, as Immediately
they emerged they flew up again to the hill
sides. have often noticed butterflies of the
Nymphalide family settling near the pools,
and apparently imbibing the moisture from
the damp sand round the edges, but never
before have | seen butterflies enter the
water Possibly it may be peculiar habit
of this particular species or genus. Mum
bers of the white butterfly, Pieris har.
palyce, were flying about at the same time,
but noticed none alight near the water"

"TITE BARNACLES."
Some how the court house seems to
be the hot bed and the headquarters
of Tite Barnacles and q hybrid class
of snobs, which escaped the keen OBJ
servation of Thackary.
The court house Tlte Barnacle Is
full of love of office, and once he
wriggles into an Office by smuggling
illegal votes into the ballot box, he
regards himself as possessing life
tenure in it, and highly resents any
movement intended to freeze him out
as a shabby attempt to rob him of his
property (he looks en- the office he
holds as his property. The lite Bar
nacle never gets rich enough to re-
tire from Office and let q needy man
get a mouthful of the fat;
the more money he squeezes out of his
office, the more desperately he en-
deavors to preserve his grip on it.
He wants to die in Office. Several
courthouse Tite Barnaeles have grown
really rich out of the fees of office, but
the cling to their offices as the drown
ing man clutches the plank. All the
lite Barnacles stick fast to each other
work together-pull together, and
combine together. Politics cut no
figure with the Tite Barnacle, and for
this reason some snappish, ill-natured
people have not scrupled to say that
the lite Barnacles belonged to the
trade and dicker school of politicians.
1t was never known that q court
house Tite Barnacle ever volun-
tariIy retired from an office.
except a better one was to be gotten.
He longs for office-he pants for office.
Every court house lite Barnacle
has a caudal appendage of Snobs,
whose business it is to laud him to
the skies in every crowd and give
him daily coat of whitewash. The
court house snob is hanger on about
the court house for the odd jobs he
can pick up. His profession is that
of hanger-on to the lite Barnacles
and lounger around the court house,
but when an election is on hand, he
lives in clover, since he levies small
contributions on all the Tite Bar
nacles by way of compensation for
boosting them and manufacturing
public sentiment. He takes his cue
from the Tite Barnacles and spouts
out just what they tell him to say, as
he deals only in secondhand, ready
made opinions. VALERIAN.

The Lawyer Said Nothing More.

A very funny thing occurred in the may
or's court recently. A case was called in
which the prisoner had been bailed An
attorney arose and said: Your honor, my
client is not here. 1t is doubtful whether
he will be here. He was most brutally as
saulted and beaten by an officer, and he
may now be dying. He is on his bed sur
rounded by his friends, who are in tears,
watching and praying that his life may be
spared-an event of grave doubt" Just at
that moment the door of the court room
opened, and a man entered. A hum ran
over the crowd, while "There he is, there
he is" could be heard on every side. 1t
was the prisoner, who looked not whit as
If he were about to die. The attorney
turned, looked at him, grunted and sat
down without a word, while the crowd
roared with laughter, - Columbus Dis

may be in the hominy business but it
has evidently no Hogg with it's
hominy, its last issue says.
"Hogg still continues dragging the
state into expenses and the railroad
into passes, the court at Tyler having
decided against him in claims for the
state against the 1. & G. N. railroad,
and no doubt in time he will appoint
himself one of the railroad commits
sioners."
All the same Hogg will root him
self into the state house and taking

John and Mary Ann.

In one of the towns of Lincoln county
there formerly lived couple known to the
surrounding country as John and Mary
Ann. Did fortune smile upon their hum
BILE birth? 1t must have been a very sickly
smile, if indeed fortune changed counte-
nance at all, for it frequently happened that
their larder, like that of the venerable
Mrs. Hubbard, was bare of anything of an
osseous character even, to say nothing Of
bread and butter. One thing, however,
they always contrived to have on hand
tobacco, and two very black pipes, for
Mary Ann shared her husbands joys as
well as his sorrows. JOHN would come
hon. lat night and interrogate his spouse
as to- Re prospect for internal refreshment.
"What yer got ter eat, Mary Ann?"
mary a crumb, John"
"Ain't airy Eaters"
"Nary 'tater, John"
Then the man of the house would heave
a sigh of resignation and say, "Wall, Mary
Ann, full yer pipe m less hev a smoke"
Johns spiritual condition was a source
of some solicitude to his wife, who one day
persuaded him to accompany her to a
prayer meeting that was to be held in
school house some miles away. Arriving
at entering the house, and persisted in sit
ting down outside under one of the open
windows, where he could enjoy peaceful
smoke and get the benefit of the meeting
at the same time.
The service within was progressing une-
ventfully when Mary Ann arose and, after
dwelling upon the lost and undone condi-
ton of her lord and master and the great
distress which this condition caused her,
asked the prayers of the audience for the
unregenerate John. A hush fell upon the
assembly, during which the head of the
gentleman in question slowly appeared
above the window sill. Resting his elbows
upon this, and holding his pipe in an easy
attitude between his thumb and forefinger,
he cast benevolent look upon those with
in which finally rested upon his wife, to
whom he remarked in a deprecatory tone,
