how firmly the worms cling to their

that they must have moisture; that
they eat only the soft part of the leaf,
the skeleton remaining; that they often
plug the mouths of their burrows with
leaves and stones, and that they do not
work in dry soil, nor in winter.

AS a School Lesson.

The extent and Importance of the
work. and the peculiar biological char
acteristics, of the earthwerm have mis-
led some good teachers into the error of
supposing that this animal is we'll suit
ed for nature lessons in the schools.
This is true only of its soil making,
which is a good and logically indispen-
"a ole topic, but still not very fasci-
mating one. To most grown people and
to many children. worms are ''crawly
things" The subject must be handled
with discretion and introduced with
considerable tact in order TO charm
and benefit both the pupil and the
teacher. Yet by proceeding somewhat
as follows, this may be done:
Aim.-To illustrate the beneficial op
@rations of the earthworm land of the
ant also) as the finest of natures mills
for the preparation of the soil.
Materials.-Soil samples in large glass

ON TRAINS A WHOLE YEAR.

A German commercial traveller re-
Gently won bet which he made with
an American sportsman by taking
a continuous railroad trip of one year.
The story is vouched for by the Salz-
burger Volksblatt. while in the Uni
ted States to look after an inheritance
the German had a discussion with the
American and accepted a wager Of
$4,000 that he could not ride on a train
for one year. The line chosen by the
German was from Vienna to Innsbruck
via Linz and Salzburg, by express
trains. He took all his meals on the
train and slept every night on board.
Twice every day he alighted to change
cars. Occasionally he would be met at
one of these points by his wife with
who he would exchange a few words,
and then be off again. The monotony
of it all threatened his reason and
toward the end of the year he had
q sever attack of influenza. This was
overcome and the last trip in the year
was successfully made. Except for
slight nervousness, from which he will
recover, the winner of the bet is per-
fectly well after his one-year trip In
on the story another Ger
man paper says: From Salzburg--
must be taken with salt"

name of the Russian swindler is Ra-
mensky and the list of titles which he
assumed to carry out his designs
against the public embraces prince,
count and general. In 1903 he was re-
leased he made his way to a nearby
town, where he secured from a printer
on forged order some letter of credit
blanks by means of which his pockets
were sooE replenished. Under the
name of Tolstoi and as a member Oh
the imperial inspection office he went
from place to place. He investigated
many rural communities, gathering
large sums OF money. He rewarded
officials who showed proficiency with
titles and promises of higher positions
and roundly scolded, and even deposed
some with whose methods he was not
satified. To one police official he
granted a six months leave of absence
with pay. Through the suspicious of
an official in the Astrachan district his
real character was finally revealed.

POPULAR MRS. DIAz.

It is considerable to be the first
lady in the land" but it is vastly more
to be that in truth in the hearts of
the people. And that is what Nine.
Porfire Diaz, wife of the Mexican
president, has been for years. All
Mexico lovingly calls her "Carmelita -
She is still young, though she has
presided over the presidents house
hold for nearly twenty years. Diaz is
II. but you would not suspect it, save
for his closely cropped snow-white hair
And he is as proud of his wife today
as when he welded her, and thereby
removed his most active political OPP
ponent, General Ramon Rubio, her
father. Their courtship was most ro-
mantle, their welded life has been
ideal. They have no children.

PICTURESQUE "ToM', PRICE

There are few more picturesque per-
sonalities in the world of politics than
tom" Price, the South Australian
premier. He actually helped to erect
the parliament buildings in which he
now speaks as premier. Born in Der
byshire in 1852, Mr.. Price spent the
early part of his life in Liverpool,
where he worked as a stonemason.
Twenty five years ago he emigrated to
Australia, and it was not until 1898
that he entered parliament. Eight
years later he was appointed to the
leadership of the Labor party, and in
1905 he became premier. Although
quaint in his speech, and possessing
perhaps more candor than culture, Mr..
Price can sway audiences to a remark
able degree.

Observation-Disclosures.

Under the headline, 'Tnterpolated-
Dismissed" the Berlin Theater Cour-
Ter says: 1.-THE case of the actor Con-
radi is still spoken of at Darmstadt.
1t seems that the Grand Duke Ludwig
of Hessen has taken violent fancy
for a new operetta, eleven perform
ances of which he witnessed at the
Darmstadt opera house. This dis
pleased the actors at the royal theater.
especially Conradi, the comedian,
who took his revenge when the grand
duke made his first appearance after
his passion for the waltz opera had
been satisfied. He interpolated a SEN
tence which referred to the eleven per-
formances.' The house roared with
laughter, but-on the next day there
was vacancy at the theater and
the comedians name no longer appear
ed on the playbills."
