WORMS FOR BAIT.
Some of the Ways In Which Fishermsn
Are Able to Economics Labor.

Some fishermen don't like to dig worms
for bait. In the first place, 1t makes their
backs ache, and, again, IL takes time.
There is also difficulty In finding where
the worms are, especially In dry seasons,
when the worms bore deep for moist earth,
which they must have to live. On the
other hand, If the earth Is SO wet that one
can squeeze water out of it the worms
drown. They prefer rich soil, about the
mouths of drains, places where the chips
OF wood have rotted, I'm barnyards about
the outhouses, and they may be found IN
der planks and logs.
There are variety of ways Of getting
chem. A small boy will get canful for
quarter usually, but sometimes one has
to fall back on his own resources. Some
men, who know a wrinkle or SO, go around
with lantern on favorable evenings
warm and slightly rainy weather Is best
and find the worms crawling in the worn
or barren places or among the grass
blades.
A man once told about another man
who went to a favorable place at night,
and by lightly tapping the ground drove
the worms from their holes. He was lee
TO do this by the curious actions of wood
cock he saw one warm spring evening.
The bird, he said, would hop up and down
for minute or so, then stop and turn his
head to one side, apparently listening.
Then he would strike his bill in the
ground. The jar of the birds dancing,
the man believed, set the worms in motion
and drove them to the surface, or near to
1t, and SO became the prey of the bird. 1t
looks very much to a naturalist as If the
man had seen woodcock's lovemaking
dance, but the jarring really does drive
worms up, and so perhaps the woodcock
was getting his supper.
After rainstorm worms are plentiful,
being drowned out or Jared out by the
patter of drops. A new way of bait get
ting Is something like drowning wood
chucks out of their holes. A writer for
La Nature says that ten grams of blue
vitriol (cuprio sulphate) put into quart
of water and poured on to a favorable place
for worms will drive them to the surface
quickly. 1t is also said that soapsuds will
have the same effect. The vitriol or soap
suds AXE the worms think a volcano has
broken loose, and so they seek the surface
as quickly as possible.-New York Sun.

THE SPANISH CAMPAIGN.
Despite Constant Victories 1t Was q Dis
astrous Failure.

astrOus rhilures
The French interests in Spain were left
in most deplorable condition. The pop
ulace of Madrid received the hero of the
age with GOODNESS and shut themselves up
in their houses to avoid forming a crowd
or creating any enthusiasm in the streets.
They would not even come out to see tho
gorgeous military parade which was ar
ranged for their benefit. The gentry and
nobility were alike distant and cold. 1t
was clear that Spain could neither be
wheedled, cajoled nor threatened into even
passive acquiescence in the new conquest.
1t was essential, therefore, that another
course should be tried.
On Dec 4 Napoleon, in the role of re-
er-statesman, pronounced and issued
from Chamartin "a series of the most thor
oughgoing edicts. All feudal privileges,
all interprovincial customs dues, were
swept away, the inquisition was abolished,
and the number of converts was reduced
to a third. These measures were in them
selves most salutary and struck at the very
root of the upas tree under the baneful
shade of which Spain had been slowly
perishing. But to do good they must be
enforced. There must be n complete mil
itary conquest of the country and cara
BILE administration.
There was neither. The Spanish army
had been defeated, but, severe as had been
its punishment, its resistance was not de-
stroyed. The occupation of the country
was also sadly incomplete, and it made no
difference whittier French soldiers march
cd or what strategic points they held,
some kind of Spanish fighting force, no
matter how irregular, sprang up behind
them and on their sides. The complete
military Capitalization of Prussia had
made Jena decisive for the whole loose
jointed territory of that kingdom. The
compact territory of Spain and the local
independence of her peoples made regular
victories utterly fruitless so far as the open
country was concerned.-'Lifeof Napo-
leon," by w. Nj. Sloane, in Century.

Hawaiian Huckleberry.

Near the Volcano House on the island
of Hawaii are great thickets of the ohelo,
or Hawaiian huckleberry (Vaccinium ret
iculatum), which the natives consider
sacred to Pele, the goddess who Is sup
posed to preside over the famous crater of
Kilauea, and which, together with white
pigs and chickens, are thrown by them
into the boiling red lake during an erup-
ton to appease the wrath of the agrees
sive dame and thus cause the rivers of
lava to cease flowing on their destructive
course.
These berries grow in clusters on low
bushes right on the vrey brink of the
birthstone beds and are so numerous that
bushel may be easily gathered in half
an hour. In appearance they somewhat re-
semble cranberry, and the flavor is pleas
sntIy suggestive of grapes.-Popular Sci
euce Monthly.

A Temperance Lesson.

A cavalryman had for the second time
returned to the barracks in an intoxicated
condition.
His comrades saw chance the second
time to give him little lesson. He had
gone to bed and thrust his bare foot out
from under his blanket, and they fastened
one of his spurs on his naked heel The
trooper lay in n heavy and motionless
sleep for long time. At last he stirred,
changed his position and dug the spur in
to his other leg.
"Ohl Help Murder!" no shouted.
Then no started up, struck light and
looked at tho spur fastened to his bare
heel.
"Well," he said, IF that doesn't make
me out helpless idiot! When l took OF
my boots last night, 1 forgot to take OF
one of my spurs. I'll never drink drop
again!'-Youth's Companion.

DATA AS TO TWINS.
Showing That They Have q Tendency a
Run In Families.

There can BIO little doubt that the tend
ency To give birth to twins run I'm certain
families. Dr.. Cory Of st. Thomas hos
pitai has Investigated the history of II
cases OF twins which have recently come
under his notice professionally, and he
nnds that In no fewer than ID of the cases
there had been previous births of twins
among near relations of either the father
or the mother.
In eight cases (47.06 per cent? the previ-
Gus tendency to twins had been on the
mothers side only; in four cases (23. SO per
cent? the tendency has been on the fathers
side only, and In one case (5.SS per cent?
there was tendency on both Sides Tho
remaining cases of the II (23.53 per cent?
had no previous history of twins.
DR.. Wakely knows of family with the
following record: The history begins with
two brothers. A. and b. b. had an only
child, u son, whose only children were
twins. A. had large family, consisting
OF two daughters, who both had large fam
lilies, but no twins, and five sons, two of
whom were twins. Three Of the sons were
married, and each was the kther of twins.
Another extraordinary instance Is re-
corded by DIR. Macphail In his family
twins were born in four out of five con-
secutive generations.
First Generation.--A woman, A, had
twins
Second Generation.-B., daughter of A.,
had twins twice and triplets once. c.,
twin son OF A, was father of twins.
Third Generation. nd, daughter of c.,
had twins twice. h., son of c., was ia
ther of twins.
Fourth Generation.-No case of twins
Fifth Generation.-F. granddaughter
of d., had twins. Her husband was father
OF twins by previous wife.
Another family shows twins in each Of
four consecutive generations:
First Generation-A. had twins once
and four children at single births.
Second Generation.-B., daughter Of
A., had twins once and four other chill
dren.
Third Generation.-C., daughter of B.,
had twins twice and triplets once. d.,
daughter of b., had twins once and four
other children.
Fourth Generation.-E., twin daughter
of D., had twins once.-London Tit-Bits.
