Eartbvorms and Salt Water.

A very important fact in the economy
of earthworms is their susceptibility to
salt water; they are for the most part
soon killed by an immersion in salt
water, and it appears that their eggs are
also incapable of withstanding its infu-
ence for prolonged period. However,
the eggs are not deposited singly, but
are inclosed in large numbers in an egg
case of leathery consistence, which
may be, for time at least, impermeable
to sea water. 1t is therefore just con-
ceivable that the cocoons might cross in
safety narrow sea inclosed in ball of
earth upon the roots of a floating tree.
But it seems certain that very long
time does not elapse before the eggs in
the cocoon are fatally injured by the
sea-water. The only exception at pres
ent known is an earthworm which is
found in heaps of cast up seaweed on
the seashores of the Mediterranean and
North sea.-Chambers Journal

People Who Have No Time to Read

It is rather remarkable how the thou
sands who patronize the postoffice lack
eyes, A little while ago there were
signs and notices enough about the
building to give any one who looked all
the information necessary about the ar
rival and the departure of mails and the
other matters about which those who
used the building would naturally want
to know. But the clerks had to answer
so many questions that the postmaster
established a Bureau of Information,
where all questions should be cheerfully
answered by a clerk with nothing else to
do. And now, although the stamp win
dows are conspicuously placed and plain
ly marked, it has been found necessary
to put up over the window of the inquiry
bureau, in addition to its sign as such, a
sign reading: mo stamps sold here"
The clerk had as many requests for
stamps as he did for information. New

Psnah pnx I'm caiorada.

Yesterday was Peach Day a. Grand
Junction. 1t was the first festival day
of the kind ever observed in this state,
or perhaps in any other. Colorado, in
deed, seems to have set the example of
setting apart days for the commemora-
ton of special resources and special
products. First Rocky Ford had its
Watermelon day, then Monument on
the divide established its Potato Bake
Day, and now Grand junction has fol-
lowed with its Peach Day
The governor and his staff graced the
occasion. Representatives of every city,
town and section of the state were pres
ent. The arrangements for the enter
tainment of the great throng were ample
and perfect and worked admirably.
The peculiarly significant thing about
the celebration was the illustration fur
nished of the marvellous growth of the
new west, growth that would be possi-
BILE only in a region of wonderful fertili-
ty of soil. Five tons of peaches were put
up in tempting pyramids and terraces
to be gratuitously distributed to the at
tending crowd. Yet only six short years
ago the country about the spot where
the city of Grand junction is now situ-
ated was reported in disgust by one of
the leading newspaper men Of eastern
Colorado as dreary, dismal waste Of
sand and cactus and sage brush.
Since then irrigating bitches have
been built. The gladdening water has
been made flow over the sand, and it has
developed wondrous fertility. On no
ordinary soil could richly bearing fruit
orchards be developed within six years
or less.-Rocky Mountain News.

The Scents of Flowers.

In popular acceptation, the soul OF the
bower resides in its perfume. But GER
tain loveliest flower souls sometimes ex-
ercise singular repellences for individuals
of the human family. There have been
those even who could not endure the
fragrance of the rose. To my knowl-
edge one observer finds in the scent of
lilacs an unpleasant reminder OF the
odor of escaping gas. Another makes
no distinction between the breath OF
mignonette and the smell of fresh corn
meal. To me the scent of the thistle is
identical with that of the bumblebee
sprawling luxuriously among its purple
filaments, and the first time the delicate,
feathery flower of the beach plum were
brought me, surely their odor was the
same had noted in downy chicks and
nesting birds.
Besides the qualification which flowers
provide for the sense of sight and the
sense of smell, there is another and quite
distinct pleasure-that which is con-
veyed in the contact of flower; as in a
subtle spray of ilacs brushing against
your face, the dabbling touches of the
SNOWFALL, the tender GOODNESS of apple
blossoms dashed with rain, the refined
sickness of the lily, which gave an old
time poet countenance in describing his
lady's hand; so smooth, SO white, so soft
it was, "as it had worn a lily for glove" !"
Further tactile differentiation is to be
found in the warm, vital and airy touch
of the rose $50 unlike the quality of the
lily petaD, in the viscid sultriness of the
poppy and the petunia, in the tissuey
thinness and dryness of the larkspur
blossom. M. Thomas in Atlantic.

Two Boys Fish for an Electric Current
Woltar Fitze and Vetener Bailey

Two Boys Fish for an Electric Current.
Walter Fitze and Vetener Bailey,
boys of Houston, procured piece of
fine wire which they threw over the wire
supporting the trolley wire on Tanning
street for the purpose of getting shock.
The wire came in contact with the trolley
wire, and no sooner had the boys each
seized an end Of their wire, when the
deadly current began to burn them, caus-
ing them to fall to the ground, the
smoke issuing from their clothing and
causing the victims to emit piteons
screams for help. Young Bailey was
badly burned, and young Fitze had his
right hand SO fearfully burned that he
will probably lose all the fingers and
part of the palm of the hand mentioned.

Two farmers recently laid wager
that one could hold wasp longer in his
hand than the other. The man who
rubbed chloroform on his hands expected
to win, but the other happened to know
that male wasps do not sting, and ac-
cordingly got one of that sex. They sat
and smiled at each other, while the
crowd wondered, until the chloroform
evaporated, and then the man who used
it suddenly let go his wasp. The other
man got the money.-London Tit-Bits.

TWO KINGS.

One was king of ruthless power
Who.spurned his peoples trust,
All whiteness from his soul erased
By tyranny and lust.
One was a monarch just to all
Within his kingdoms reach,
His creed of charity and love
Flowered in act and speech.
The tyrant on a sumptuous couch
Outbreathed his final breath,
And his life lapsed all unconsciously
From tranquil sleep to death.
The king beloved by grateful hearts
Throughout his prosperous land,
While issuing some benign decree
Died from murderer's handl

Where the "thernometer "seldom gets

wicked Yumaite in school sent home for
his blanket. Where the seat OF honor Ia
the left hand, and the railroad hotel
gives the traveller tender beefsteaks.
Where the river is the color Of the earth,
and the earth the color Of the water.
Where steamboats, run comfortably OH
moist sand, and the prisoners in the peni-
tentiary keep store in the prison yard.
Where the girls are tough" and the
boys are ''gentle and refined" Where
they eat strawberries In January, and
where the desert blossoms like the rose
Where the rainfall is lees in year than
