Work Done by Earthworms.

In 1890 Alvan Millson, an employee of the British colonial government at Lagos, west Africa, made some remark able observations on the work of earth worms. ''For scores of miles around Lagos" he says, "the earth is literally covered with cylindrical casts of earth brought to the surface by the worms. In some places the earth is covered to the depth of several inches with these little cylinders, which have been caked hard by the sun. Having removed these casts from space of but two square feet, I weighed them carefully and found that the weight was 10H pounds. Es- timatifg 5 pounds to the square foot as the amount of earth which these creatures bring to the surface annually. I find that they bring up an average of not less than 62, ,233 long tons of subsoil to each acre of farm land in this vicin- ity. "-St. Louis Republic.

How Hindoos Hoard, Jewelry,

Never during its existence has India been so rich in jewelry as now. The people are always adding to their stock. Savings from nearly all sources are dis posed of in this way, and these savings are being constantly made-often at the expense of clothing, sometimes at the expense of greater necessaries of life. The making and the storing away of wealth in this form is the national De- culiarity of the country.
 Jewelry is regarded as the most stable kind of wealth, and fortunes are never counted without estimating the value of the stock of jewelry. It can always be pledged or disposed of. The market for it's sale is never closed and never depressed. The most ignorant native who wishes to sell piece of jewelry knows its market value quite well. He can scarcely be cheated.
 Jewelry forms the greatest factor in matrimony. The most lowly bride has her stridhan, which is occasionally equal in value to five years income of the bridegroom. There is often scarcity of clothing, sometimes a scarcity of cook ing pots, generally not a particle of furniture, but nearly always a stock of jewelry. The wife that has no jcwelry possesses nothing else. She cannot be robbed. The family that does not have jewelry is absolutely indigent
 One of the greatest boasts of the jew elry owner is that his boards cannot be taxed. A man may own jewelry valued at lakh of rupees, and pay no income tax. This is source of great satisfac- tion. Jewelry yields no recurring in- come, but it is prized more than govern ment paper. If it never increases it never diminishes, is national saying, common among men and women alike No native marriage, except among the most impoverished, takes place without a transfer of jewelry, and very ire quently of new jewelry.

take charge. I am master, and I know what is best, and I proclaim my au- thcrity." We are merely subordinates It is like toy at school with long sum that he cannot do. He has been working at it for hours. making figures here and rubbing out figures there, and it is all mixed up, and the teacher, looking over the boys shoulder, knows that he cannot get out of it, and clean ing the slate says, Begin again" Just so God does to us. Our affairs get into an inextricable entanglement, and he rubs everything out and says, Begin againP' Is he not wise and loving in so doing?
 I think the trouble is that there is so large difference between the divine and the human estimate as to what is enough. have heard of people striving for that which is enough, but I never heard of any one who had enough. What God calls enough for man man calls too little. What man calls enough God says is too much. The difference between a poor man and rich man is only the difference in banks. The rich man puts his money in the Washington Dduk, UT tuc StulIdl Dduh, UT tllc 1uttIO- politan bank, or some other bank of that character, while the poor man comes up and makes his investments in the bank of him who runs all the quar- ries, all the mines, all the gold, all the earth, all heaven. Do you think a man can fail when he is backed up like that?
 You may have seen map on which is described, with red ink, the travels of the children of Israel through the desert to the promised land.

But, bless ed be God, the path always comes out ct the promised land. Mark thati Mark thatl

PAR0CIIIAL INSTRUCTION
AS CONCEIYED BY I PROTESTANT
 CLERGYMAN.

Not Opposed tn Public Schools, He Says Catholics Who Grow Up Here, Breathing
 American Spirit, Make Good Citizens Church Supports Schools to Give Pupils Religious Instruction.
 Boston, June 25-This evening in Fremont Temple at the Sunday school convention the speakers were Rev. Dr. A. F. Schaufl1er of New York, Rev. A. ]. Diar of Cuba and Rev. J. w. Butler of the City of Mexico. President Capen read a telegram from President Clark of the United Society of Christian En- deavor, extending cordial greetings.
 Rev. Dr. SchaufIler spoke on "The Study of the Bible in Spots" Hon. John M. Green of Atlanta, Ga, first vice president of the executive com mittee introduced A. s. Canler, also of Atlanta, Ga, who presented to the con- vention an official invitation from the mayor and council for the convention to meet in Atlanta in 1899. The invita- tion was accepted by exclamation. Rev. Dr. Diar was warmly greeted and SpUht Ol CuIludy StIOOl Nul IA III Nubei'
 He also touched upon the war, saying it was not conducted in a humane man Ter on the Spanish side He hoped that Cuba would soon gain it's freedom. If the United States would give Cuba it's recognition O: her belligerent rights the war would soon end and the island would have liberty and peace.
 Rev. John w. Butler of Mexico was the last speaker Referring to the fact that MT. Diar was an exile he said that the time is coming when he will be able to return to his native land as an evan gelical preacher and have over and about him all the protection necessary either for a free Cuba or her sister re- public.
 In Lorimer hall w. A. Eudaly of Chi cago presided and the speakers were Rev. H. C. Woodruff of New York on '"The Foreign Sunday School Associa- tion," and Rev Charles $. Albert of Pennsylvania on Sunday School Work Among Foreigners in Our Own Coun- try"
 The latter in the course of his re- marks said "The Catholic people who grow up in our country and breathe in our national spirit are as good citizens as the average American. Parochial schools are not opposed to our public schools. as many of us think. They believe the state should provide for the education of it's people, but the separa- tion of church and state, which I fully believe in, in this country leaves little provision for religious instruction out side the churches. For this reason they open their schools, first, to give their children religious instruction, and, second, to teach them the mother tongue of their parents. When they have cast in their lot with us they are enthusiastic Americans. The Sunday Dle'

NINTH WiRD REPUBLIC4NS.
Mckinley Legion Opens the Campaign

Mckinley Legion Opens the Campaign.
 The republicans of the Ninth ward have begun the campaign in earnest. This week they organized a Mckinley legion, which has already seventy-tive members. Last night d meeting was held in Schadee X Pohlman's hall to ratify the nominations of the St. Louis convention. Neither Attorney Good hart nor Congressman N. D. Sperry was able to be present, much to the disappointment of the audience.
 President Henry Hamilton of the le- zion opened the meeting with few re- marks, and then introduced Attorney Graves, who presented in a clear and forcible speech the duty resting upon citizens. Issues of the coming cam paign and the fitness of the St. Louis nominees were eXpatiated upon. He said both men had ability and integrity for which he was thankful. He also said he would not have been so thank full had the candidate presented by the Connecticut delegation for vice presi- dent been nominated, as he knew Nor gan G. Bulkeley too well.
 Following this address remarks were made by Thomas Bailey, who urged up- on the Ninth ward republicans the ne- cessity of hustling for the ticket in the ward and city next November.
 The meeting then adjourned.

JUDGE TRUMRULL DEAD.
Was a Native of This State-A Distin-
 guished American.

Chicago, June 25,-EX- United States Senator Lyman Trumbull died this morning at So'clock at his home in this city. He had been i'll a long time, but rallied at intervals, causing hope that he might eventually recover. His last relapse, however, settled his fate in the mind of his physician, and the end has been expected daily for the past week.
 Judge Trumbull was born at Colches- ter, New London county, Conn.,, in 1913.
 A career like that of Lyman Trum- bulls comes to but few men. For more than sixty years his had been a life of ceaseless activity and it is not hyper bole to say that in all those years his work had belonged to the nation. He had been school teacher, lawyer, judge. He had played his part in politics, on the stump, in the halls of congress, in the deliberations of parties and as a nOn-combatant counsellor,
 In public life he had been one of those rare men who lead and teach political parties, yet are never bound by tradi- tions or associations to follow their party in it's divergence from the lines laid down by their own consciences.
 In the beginning he was an anti-sla- very democrat. As @ republican he fought side by side with the immortal Lincoln and the men who founded the republican party of to-day Then his party, as he thought. departed from it's true mission and followed a line his conscience would not endorse. Reso- lutely he turned his back on his former association and became a democrat. In the latter years of his life he parted company with that party. He took such sides against the extension of the power of the United States that he be- came the hope of the populists, and, in a sense, their counsellor. At the time all parties respected him.
 Judge TrumbulPs last appearance in a court room was as counsel for the American Railway union officers before the supreme court at Washington.
 Judge Trumbull was twice married. His first wife was Julia Maria Jayne of Springfield, to whom he was welded in 1S43. She died in Washington in 1S63 In 1887 he married Mary J. Ingraham of SaybrOOk, Conn.

Anthony Carroll Asks for Information-lt Has Been Allowed to Rest Five Years.
 Anthony Carroll was before the board of compensation last evening asking to be informed as to the status of the matter of the extension of Gibb street, between Dixwell and Shelton avenues.
 The occasion of MT. Carrolfs appear ance before the board in quest of in- formation was the recent petition of Amelia Leonard to the court of com mon council, that the layout be com pleeted or the movement abandoned. MT. Carroll wishes to have the street put through, and will appear before the committee on streets asking that such action be taken. The history of this subject dates back to 1889, during the term of office of ex-Mayor Peck. The layout is about 320 feet, and was ordered as the petition of Amelia Leon- ard, when brought before the court of common council.
 The regular course was taken, and as there was no hindrance the whole matter reached the board of compen- sation, but got no further and when eX-Mayor Sargent came in office he found that the proposed layout was not to his ideas of the fitness of things. The matter was allowed to drop out of sight, and to remain there until the recent petition of Amelia Leonard was filed. As the subject has been revived a fight will be made to put the street through.
