They Can Msve About Only When the
Ground Is Damp.
Ever since Darwin wrote his remark
able book on earthworms the general
public has taken an interest Ia these
Lowry creatures. Everybody has OBJ
served thousands OF them on the ce-
ment walks during and after rain,
but the true cause Of these remarkable
wanderings Is not often written about.
The fact is that earthworms can move
about only when the ground and the
grass are wet. The truth Of this Is cas-
fly shown by placing an earthworm on
some dry sand, when the dry grains
win stick TO It's shiny skin and make It
helpless

frogs, salamanders, slugs and land

When Children Smoked.

Every one has read that Hawkins In
troduced tobacco into England and
that King James inyeigbed against It..
Elizabeth liked to site low stool and
watch Sir Walter Raleigh pufina
away. In Anne's reign almost every
one smoked. In Charles lis reign
children were sent to school with
their pipes in their satchels, and the
schoolnaster called halt in their
studies while they smoked"
In 1902 Joreyin spent an evening
with his brother at Garraway's coffee
house, Leeds, and writes: Il was sur

years old I'll ifs pipe Of tobacco and
smoke it as audfarandly as a man OF

Able Artist.
Hogarth, one OF the abIest and Ger.
tainly one Of the vainest artists that
England has produced. was as n paint
er hardly recognized in his lifetime, to
bis bitter grief and disappointment
He made money out Of his prints. but
could only sell his pictures with diff
Guilty and at low prices.
Yet whistler once declared that Ho.
garth was our greatest painter. He
painted some admirable portraits. but
his manner was too independent and
bis tongue too sharp for success in d
profession that requires a certain
amount. OF diplomacy and much pa
tience
He resented any criticism OF his
work. AID there is story of a very
ugly peer whom he painted that Illus
trates this. The portrait was returned
to the artist. 1t was, in fact. too good

But Hogarth declined to alter IT In
the least and told his sitter that unless
the portrait was paid for in three days
he would add a tail to the figure and
sell 1t to q wild beast Snowman to-
hang outside one Of his caravans. The
peer paid the money and instantly de-
stroyed the picture.
More curious still is story of Ho-
garth's absence Of mind. When the
sale of his prints had made him pros

day went In II to visit the lord mayor.

FIERCE CANNES.
The Wolfish Dogs Of Newfoundland
and Labrador.

The WolHsh Dogs Of Newfoundland
and Labrador.
on The extreme northern coast Of New
foundland. as well as on Labrador, the
fishing villages and settlements are all
situated in the harbors and creeks
along the teashore. In the summer all
ntercommunication with the various
villages is by water, so that the roads
are very primitive In winter, when
the ground Is covered with snow and
the marshes and lakes are frozen, the
people utilize dogs and "comaticks" TO
travel to and fro, and also for hauling
firewood, building material, etc Those
dogs are savage mongrels, closely al
lied to their progenitor, the wolf; In
fact, they are half wolf.
The residents do not trouble much
about these mongrels in the summer
and they are generally kept In state
OF semisavage starvation. They feed
on fish offal during the fishing season
and occasionally band together and 90
a-hunting on their own account. On
these occasions they viii attack any
thing they come across, man or beast
and 50 fierce are their depredations
that caribou, which are plentiful In
Labrador, can only on rare occaslona
be found within twenty-five miles OF
the seacoasS as these mongrels have
destroyed or driven them all inland.
Last winter 1t was reported that
team OF those dogs turned on the driy-
er and devoured him and his wife and
child, who were accompanying him 70
q distant settlement, IL has been long
recognized that these packs Of savage
dogs were great obstacles In the way
OF the progress Of the people In these
parts. 1t was impossible for them to
keep cows, sheep. goats or even pcul-
try Forest and Stream.

deavor BY ever legitimate means with

Before the white man began to ex-
plore Kentucky. about the middle Of
the eighteenth century. the region was
vast hunting ground for many large
tribes Of the south, north and east,
and between these tribes there was
continuous conflict for the possession
OF the rich game privileges. Later on.
when the white people settled In the
territory. their struggle with the red
men was more bitter and persistent
than In almost any other section OF
the continent; hence the sanguinary
name that was given to the territory,

At certain Denver hotel lives a

many masculine admirers The other
day she was asked by one of them to
go out in the afternoon and play ten
mis-. At the courts she met a man
who struck her fancy. So, between
sets, she and the new man would sit
on the grass and talk. 1t was during
one of these intermissions that he
said: by the way, Mrs. Blank, may
/ ask where you live?'
To be sure she replied Il live at
the such and such hotel
That's queer" he said Il have a
room there, too. However, I've had it
only week I'm thinking of chang
ing. There is a woman in the next
room to mine who comes in every
night about IL o'clock and wakes me
UP with her noise. If they don't GUST
her I'm going"
81 don't blame you,' said the little
widow. Il know just how you feel.
There's man in the next room to
mine who comes home full almost
every night and knocks the furniture
around. I'm going to make a COM
plant about him if he doesn't reform .
After the games had been played
the new young man walked down to
the hotel with her and her escort.
They went for their keys together.
The clerk handed them 202 and 204.
Their rooms were adjoining.

He was told, as usual, to hold the line,

The affair being of a personal ma
ture, he wished to assure himself as
to the person at the other end, and
asked Who is speaking?'
The reply was SO faint and brief
that it left him still in doubt, and he

Once more the answer was so faint
that he said: Speak louder; don't
