How to Grow EarthWorms.

At the meeting Thursday Of the Zoo:
logical club Mrs. W. H. PiRney read
an interesting paper on earthWorus:
Il saw seated in a natural history
volume that if worm should be divided
the anterior part would grow tail and
the posterior part would grow q head.
| took twelve worms and divided them,
placing the divided parts Of each worm
in a separate glass. In less than a
month mad twenty-five worms, losing
only two tail parts. The head parts
had grown tails and the tail parts had
grown heads. Two weeks ago l divided
the worms into halves and put the feur
parts into glass, into which I placed
earth, but no food, and the head parts
ate the tail parts. ."-Springdeld Union.

a Glass of Water at Bedtime

The human body IS constantly under
going tissue changes Water has the
power ofincrca:ing these changes which
multiply the waste produces, but at the
same time they are renewed by its
agency, giving rise to increased appe.
tite, which in turn provides frcsh b nutri
ment. If you do not accustom yo1r'
self to drink water regularly, you are
liable to have the waste products form
faster than they are removed. Any
obstruction to the free working OF
natural laws st once products disease.
Great weakness and lauguor on rising ir
the morning is generally due to large
secretion of these waste products, and
the remedy is to drink tumblerful Of
water, either hot or cold, just before
retiring. This materially assists in
the process during the night, and leaves
the tissues fresh and strong, ready for
the active work of the next day.

Porto Ricans Starving,

A dispatch from Ponce, Porto Rico,
says: "The situation here is now more
serious than at any time before or since
the terrible hurricane. In many
places the poor are starving. The
price Of rice, beans and Goldfish has in
creased from 50 to 100 per cent.
Demonstrations against the delay OF
the United States Government in set
Ting open questions have recently been
held at Mayaguez, Iacuco; Arecioo,
Aguidallo, Aajardo, Juan Diaz, Guam
aud many other towns. The people are
unable TO understand the delay and
they condemn all Americans indiscrimi-
nately. Bad feeling is arising, which
it will take years to overcome. Even
riots are threatened. Trouble is
amost inevitable unless the tension is
relieved. Even wealthy land owners
cannot command ready cash and many
Americans are penniless, being glad to
work for their board.

For the Usual Crime,

A special dispatch from Richmond,
Va, to The News and Courier says:
"Reuben Griggs, colored youth, was
hanged Friday at Cumberland Court
House, Va, for criminal assault on a
little girl of his own race. This is the
first instance Of the kind in Virginia, if
not in the whole South, where Negro
has been legally executed for crime Of
this kind, where the victim was Ne
gcess. Grivgs's crime was revolving iD
the extreme and for a time there were
fears Of lynching. Friday Griggs's
nerves gave way as Sheriff Adams placed
the rope around his meek. 1t took FIVE
men to hold the bog up on his feet.
This is the first hanging that has taken
place in Cumberland County in fifty
seven years. There were seventy-6ve
Negroes around the Jail at the time Of
the hanging.

Eugene Mills and that the wrong man
was gotten into the mcshes Of the law
for the watch stealing ard that it was a
case Of mistaken identity, the two
brothers looking so much alike that
people could not generally tell the diff
fnrrncn between them,
