Why the Earthworm rhr,vcs.

In this country the earthworm is per
haps the most abundant animal of any
size; it would be difficult not to meet
with worms by digging in almost any
locality, and yet it is n of the most
prosecuted creatures that breathe. Not
only do birds hunt it increasingly, but
the gardener, armed with q watering
pot and solution of corrosive subli,natc,
Stays his tens of thousands. When
they seek for refuge deep down in the
soil they are pursued by moles; cent?
pedes and various insects attack them,
and in fact every ones hand is against
them. But, in spite of this general
hostility on the part of animate crea.
ton, they thrive and multiply.
The first and principal reason for this
is their great fertility; and the second
is their great power of recovery after
Incidents which would rapidly ter1ni.
nate the existence of more highly or.
ganizcd creatures. An earthworm can
lose q considerable portion of itself
without Suffering. apparently. even
temporary Inconvenience, and indeed
some of the fresh water annelids. which
are near relations of the earthworm,
voluntarily divide themselves into sew
eral pieces, each of which becomes a
new worm. Chambers Journal.

ing being, it would seem, to be insenible
to the charms Of camp life. One morn
ing when the Listener was in camp, .
queer looking black dog of uncertain race,
but broad between the eyes, like all intelli-
gent dogs, suddenly popped into the place.
evidently upon some journey around the
lake. He looked about him in astonish-
ment. and then sat down and looked
again. Then he settled instantly down,
in a sort of glad. grateful way, which
was as much as to say, "This is exactly
the sort of place that I've always been
looking FORT" Not another step did he
stir on the journey.
He adopted the camp from that mo
raent and everybody in it. Nobody
knew where he came from or to whom
he belonged. He was a total stranger to
the people who lived on the farm not
far away. He slept in front Of the tent
at night. and barksd at any stranger who
came that way, and answered amiably
to tho name Of Liberty Moses. No doubt,
when the camp broke up, he went back
to his nor civilized home, wherever it
was, but as long as that charming spot
remained in existence there was no other
place for him.-Boston Transcript.

Value of New Yorls New,naners.

I should say The Times is worth
$780, 900. The Tribune is worth that
too. Each has q lofty building that
represents a large investment and
yields an income almost rivaling the
newspaper profits. Mr.. Dana's price
for The Sun, thrce years ago, was
$1,000, 000. That was when it was a
six page paper, just recovering from
the setback of 1884, and only begin
ming to make room by enlargement fos
an extensive advertising business. I
imagine Mr.. Dana's price now would
be quite 81, 500, 600, and when the new
thirty-two story building is up, perhaps
$40, ooo, 600.
Mr.. Bennett, it has long been under
stood, values The Herald at $40, 600, 600,
and / suppose Mr.. Pulitzer would not
take less for The World. Here are Ave
morning newspapers worth, say, from
$50, 600, 600 to s35, OO0, 900. The Stats
zeitung should be in the list too. It
would add, perhaps, S., ZOO, 600. Alto
gether the daily newspapers of New
York r worth more than $40, 600, 600.
OF course, these figures do not repre-
sent capital invested; they stand for
the principal, upon which the earnings
of the Journals named would be a fair
return. and that, certainly, is what
those Journals are worth.-Blakely

The Mosaic Flooring Of tn. Desert.

The northern portion of the Colorado
desert is paved witt, the most wonder.
ful pebbles in the world, in many parts
90 exquisitely laid IA to defy successful
imitation by the plost skilled worker in
mosaic flooring. These pebbles IRE
made of porphyry. agates. c%ornelian,
quartz. crystals. garnets, chrysolite and
other such beautiful materials. They
are packed together so that tile surface
composed of them is like a floor, and
they look as If pressed into it with a
roller. As a rule, they are of nearly
uniform size, and each one is polished
brilliantly. as If oiled and rubbed.
Most of them are perfect spheres, and
the reflection from them of the SUMS
rays is gorgeous beyond description.
Each convex surface gives back a ray
of light and the ground for miles seems
as If literally paved with gems. Thus
the whole surface of the plain is a com
bination of myriads of refiectors, each
pebble being 80 highly polished that
1t is like a mirror. and it is be.
lieved that the lakes of the desert mir.
age are produced by this means. The
pebbles are polished by the loose sand
which is blown hither and thither.-

There are people who get more out Of
life than others by a sort of philosophy
OF contrast or change. The listener,
being invited to tea not long since, found
the table set under the apple trees just a
Jew steps from the kitchen door. There
were several children seated about the
table, expressing by their demure manner
that it was not a novel thing at all. "Oh.
mol" said the hostess; we've hardly eaten
dinner or supper in the house for three
weeks. If it's a possible thing we set the
table out here or on the piazza at least.
There is only n disadvantage, it makes
1t harder on the girls. but we all take

A Soap for Metals.

An improved kind of soap for metal
work has lately been described, of some
special advantages, it is said, as COM
pared with those usually employed in
this line-that is, mixtures of vaseline,
oleic acid and fat, combined with a
small quantity of rouge--and which,
when freshly prepared. leave nothing
to be desired, excepting, unfortunately,
TINT such compositions soon turn ran
cid and become unfit for use.
The new article now brought for
ward is stated to be free from this OBJ
lection and is made from cocoanut but.
ter in the following manner: 2.5 kilo.
grams of the butter are melted in an
iron vessel, together with a little water,
to this mixture being added, with con-
slant stirring, $50 grams Of chalk, 49,
grams of alum and the same of cream
of tartar and of white lead, respectively.
The mixture prepared in this man.
ner is then poured into molds and al.
lowed to solidify. This soap is made
into n paste with water and rubbed
over the metal to be cleaned, and final
ly removed by a dry rag or chamois

A Paper for the Million.

The Weston Rural and American
Sto.kman, II of the Oldest farm
journals in this country, is \ journal of
large size, aud flied with literature
which not only represents agriculture
and its kindred interests in their
highest sense, but dsvotes much space
for the entertainment of the farmers
family, on the ground that the farmer
and his family are Of as much impor-
tance as the farm.
We find in its columns, also, allie
articles devoted 10 the discussion Of the
economic and social questions Of our
times. The Rural has no hobby, but
aids IN the advancement Of all the
practical reform measures which are
agitating the public mind at the
present time. 1t believes in organiza.
ton among farmers, and has devoted
much time and expense to the end that
producers might stand together for
their rights, but above all it believes in
education. and the general information
in regard to public affairs which is
necessary to fit the people for self
reliant citizenship. TO this end the
Rural has assisted in the establishment
Of a school of agriculture and manual
Training for dependent street waits,
which is doing a great work in saving
the street waits of the large towns and
cities. The subscription price of the
western Rural is 81. 50 per year. Less
in clubs. For particulars address

matched himself against eight strong

agreed to put up from shoulder to arms

than the eight men could. Kendall has
a limb which makes it necessary for him
to use crutches, and as he is of very

peared to be q foregone conclusion.
One after another the eight men took
their places, Kendall keeping time with

CONCERNING the attempt to Euro.
peanize America by sending foreign
bishops to perpetuate the old world
customs, the Daily City Item of New
Orleans has the following:
1.-THE Rev. John Talbot Smith, edit
or of the Catholic Review, has come
out strongly against the petition for
the appoin tment of foreign bishops In
this country, and its signers. He
calls the affair 1.-THE conspiracy of Lu.
cerne," and says it sis engineered by
certain German Catholics in the west
and by French Canadians in Quebec
and New England, and is intended to
fasten upon America for centuries the
various languages which now flourish
in the United States" Father Smith
Is of the opinion that our indifference
in the matter of immigration is re-
sponsible in measure for the attempt
to force foreign bishops on this coun-
try. Congress will doubtless be
moved thereby to make more rigid
rules to prevent this foreign invasion.
The LIGHTS views on this matter
were expressed some days ago. The
end will be greatly restricted foreign
immigration.
