Since January 500, 900. 600 n gold has
been exported to Europe and the export
movement instead of abating seems to
have received fresh impetus. The most
OF this gold has been taken from the
United States treasury and practically all
that is now exported comes from that
source. In that time the treasury depart
ment has sustained a net loss Of SIS. 354.-

Despite these heavy shipments the treas

store the gold balance. They point to the
fact that there is a gradual and healthy
inflow Of gold from natural sources to the
treasury. which has only temporarily been
checked by the large amounts taken for
export. The cessation of gold exports in
large amounts is looked for by July l, as it
is understood that the Austrian demand 10

couraging feature Of the decrease of gold
is that corresponding increase is shown

A reporter for the Salt Lake Tribune re-
ports conversation with a man who kept
fruit stand in Helena in 1868. It was only
small stand in front of store, but the
rent Of it was $50 month, and he was
obliged to pay in advance. Much of his
stock in trade was brought 1000 miles by
stage.
Twenty-Five cents would not go far in
those days at fruit stand. One man who
was counting young lady used to come to
my place and buy four apples for IS and
carry them to his sweetheart. l always
picked out four of the best ones, wrapped
them in tissue paper and put them into Q
neat candy box. After awhile he got mar

The first years pineapples sold for 81
apiece. Oranges were $50 or s. each, and
the men who are rich in Montana today
did not buy them.

Captain Jack Crawford, the poet of the
plains. tolls 8 story on himself that will
bear repeating. The captain. IL may DO

as though he might eat a giant raw every

that Of the hero of a yellow backed romance.
Well, the captain was on his way to lunch

him with request for quarter to buy a

There was quite n controversy be
tween one OF our city real estate
ageL t. and a tenant lately. This ten
ant wanted to move and had given the
agent notice more than thirty day:
ago. He moved, but the agent was
very angry and threatened to hold
his goods. The tenant had signed no
lease for this year. but with the year
ending March 25, 1898. LIE had signed 0
lease.
The agent commended that this same
lease went on from year to year. but
the tenant thought differently and oh
jected to pay the rent up to the time
of leaving on the regular rent day
After considerable talk about 1t OIL
both sides and some hot words, this
matter was definitely settled by the
tenant paying his rent up to the time
of leaving and the agent taking the
house and key.

EARTHWORMS.

Their Value to Land, Their Abode and
Their Relentless Enemy.
The worms know well that rapid heaving
of the soil which betokens the approach Of
mole to their innocent burrows, and the
moment they feel it rush wildly to the sur
face, prepared rather to face the worst that
lark or blackbird may bring upon them
than to await the onslaught of their most
ruthless and bloodthirsty enemy. II you
dig pointed stick into the ground and
shake the earth little by moving it from
side to side, you will find dozens of worms
hurry up to the surface at once under the
mistaken impression that the petty earth
quake is some mole's doing, for the senses
of earthworms are extremely keen and
their perception of danger most acute and
vivid.
A person unaccustomed to the ways of
worms might wonder that enough of them
could be found in the comparatively small
tract OF land which each mole taboos or oc-
cupies as his own to satisfy the needs of so
voracious a creature. But as matter OF
fact the worm population of England is
something incredibly high, to be numbered,
no doubt, by millions of millions. Every
field on our downs is far more thickly pop
ulated underground than London is on the
surface. Every meadow is as dense with
teeming thousands Of worms as Lancashire
is with raen or an ant hill with emmets
The soil swarms with life.
vinegar kills worms, and where barrel
OF vinegar has been accidentally spilled up
on the ground the surface is sometimes
positively covered before long by thick
layer of wriggling creatures which have
come up to die, as is the won't of their
species. The abundance and ubiquity Of
the gaue explain the numbers and fire.
quency of the hunters. Every mole eats
daily many pounds of worms, and yet ev-
cry field supports whole villageful Of
them.
1t Is the entire drama of nature on a
small scale underground remorseless,
self centered, unfeeling as ever. Worms
exist, and exist in thousands, because there
are myriads and myriads OF dead leaves for
them to live upon. Almost every dead leaf
that falls from tree or shrub or weed or
herb except in autumn when the supply
all at once immensely outruns the de
MANDY they carry underground and bury
or devour with eeaseless industry In do
ing so they create and keep up the layer Of
vegetable mold on the surface Of the earth,
which alone makes plant life, and especial
ly cultivation, possible
Cultivated areas are therefore those
where worms are most abundant So far
as they themselves are concerned, however.
the worms eat only for their own appetites'
sake and never suspect they are the friends
OF lordly man, whose fields and crofts they
thus unconsciously fertilize. - Cornhili
