Vacation for Their Employees.

departure has been made this year by
the firm of w. g. Moses & Sons which is
in keeping with the liberal policy which
has contributed much to the unanimity
of sentiment and sympathy which exists in
that establishment between the proprietors
and their assistants. Every clerk in the
establishment Is allowed fifteen days leave
of absence on full pay. In past years II
has been custom to allow clerks prac-
tically as ..-Ich vacation time they de-
sired on half pay. The firm finding that
their employees would prefer shorter va
cation on full pay felt that their Joint In
terests would be benefited by the change.
In consequence of the absence of number
of the employees under this arrangement
the firm has found ii necessary TO keep
open evenings until g O'Clock in order that
the work of each day could be accomplish
ed. For this reason this store Is not closed
at . O'Clock daily in accordance with the
prevailing custom.

An Order Issued Today by Health
Officer Woodward.

An order was issued by Health Officer
Woodward this morning and circulated
among the employees of the department for
their signatures. While the order is not
intended to correct the habits of the clerks
and inspectors permanently it may have
that effect The order will, however, have
the effect Of saving many of them a few
nickels. for it reads:
That no employee Of the health depart
ment shall be permitted to smoke while on
official duty" .-''' 3
The employees, clerks, inspectors and 9TH
ers attached their initials to the docu-
ment, and as they are supposed to be on
official duty from to In summer and an
hour later In winter, with the exception
OF lunch time. some Of those addicted to
the habit will miss what they have hereto
fore enjoyed a luxury.
Just why the order was issued Is not ex-
piaiL.ed. but 1t Is thought 1t resulted from
some of tn. clerks smoking in the Office
while attending to their duties.

Aside from the congressman's regular
duties in committee and on the floor of The
house, his correspondence hitherto has
! consumed the lions share of his time. al.
rectly or by consequence. As rule nearly
every letter received by him entails tbs
writing of three letters on his part-6rst
one Of acknowledgment; second one of
inquiry, addressed to some official IN ons
of the departments, and, third one an.
nouncing the result to the constituent In
addition, the departments have to be Wis.
tied frequently in search of information
and many other errands have to be per.
formed by the statesman who would faith.
fully represent his people.
The daily mail of some of the LEADING
congressman, and even of some of the most
obscure ones, dften amounts to so, rs or lOC
letters, chiefly of an official nature. If a
representative undertook to answer them
himself and supply the wants expressed In
them by their writers, he would find il alb.
solutely impossible to do anything else On

his broader duties by participating in the
discussions and legislation OF the day. he

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 creature. But as matter OF
TACT the worm population of England is
something incredibly high, to be mum bered
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
teemipg thousands of worms as Lancashire
is with men or an ant hill with emmets.
The soil swarms with life
vinegar kills worms, and where a 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 wont of their
species. The abundance and ubiuuity of
the game explain the numbers and fire.
quency of the hunters. Every mole eats
daily many pounds Of worms, and yet ev-
cry held 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 ceaseless 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 ctofts thew
thus unconsciously fertilize. - Cornhill
