ONLY EARTHWORMS.
VET THEY HAVE CUT QUITE A FIGURE IN THE WORLD'S HISTORY.
The Worm Has No Byes and No Sense of Hearing, bat Is Senoitlve to Strong Light •nd Vibration* of Sonnd—Object* of Antiquity I'rpserred by Earth worn*.
The 00111 on earthworm, despised by pian and heedlessly troddau nnderfoot, fulfills a par* in natnro that would seem Incredible but for bhe facta revealed by the patient and long continued researches of arwin. "Worms," says Darwin, "have played a more important part in the history of the world than most persons wonld at first suppose.'' Let us follow Darwin and see how this apparently insignificant creature has changed the faco of nature. We will first consider the habits and mode of life of the earthworm. As every one knows, the worms live in burrows in the superficial layer of the ground. They can live anywhere in a layer of earth, provided it retains moisture, dry air being fatal to them. They can, on tho other hand, exist submerge-} in wator for several months. They live chiefly in the superficial mold less ihan a foot below the surface, but in long continued dry weather and in very cold .seasons they may burrow to a depth of eight feet. The burrows are lined by a thin layer of earth, voided by the worms, and ond in .small chambers in which they can-turn round.
The burrows are formed partly by pushing away the earth, but chiefly by the earth being swallowed. Largequanties of earth are swallowed by the worms for the sake of the decomposing vegetable matter contained in it, on which they feed. The earth thus swallowed is voided in spiral heaps, forming the worm castings. In this case the worm obtains food and at the same time excavates its burrows.
In addition to the food thus obtained half decayed leaves are dragged into the burrows, mainly for food, but also to plug the months of tho burrows for the sake of protection. Worms are also fond of meat, especially fat. They will also eat the dead bodies of their relatives. They are nocturnal in habit, remaining, as arulo, in the burrows during the clay and coming out to feed at nig hi
The earthworm has no eyes, but is affected by strong light if exposed to it for some time. It has no sense of bearing, but is sensitive to the vibrations of sound. The whole body is sensitive to touch. There appears to be some sense of smell, but this is limited to a certain articles of food, which are discovered by the worm when buried in earth, in preference to other bodies not relished. The worm appears to have some degree of intelligence from the way in which it draws the leaves into its burrows, always judging which is the best end to draw them in by. This is remarkable in so lowly organized an animal, being a degree of intelligence not possessed by many animals of more complex organi zation. For instance, the ant can often be seeu'dragging objects along traversely instead of taking them the easiest way.
As we have seen, vast quantities of earth are continually being passed tlirough the bodies of worms and voided on the surface as castings. When it is stated that the number of worms in an acre of ordinary land suitable for them to live in is 53,000, we can imagine the great effect which they must have on the soil.
They are, in fact, continually plowing the land. At one part of tho alimentary canal of the worm is a gizzard, or hard muscular organ, capable of grinding food into fine particles. It is this gizzard which is the main factor in triturating the soil, and it is aided by small stones swallowed with the earth, whifh act as millstones. lu c* tit') ai: nnt of c.tr contur.iuih" lining hr-r-aiit to the sir-faee hv it t: "t diiricuit to un .rid '.1 $•: objects, such as stones, rocks, etc., lying on the snrface will in course of time become gradually buried in the ground. Owing to the burial of stones and other objeots by the action of worms, ancient monuments, portions of Roman villas and other objeots of antiquity have been preserved. These have been gradually buried by the worms and so preserved from the destructive effect of rain and wind. Many Roman remains were studied by Darwin, and traces of the action of worms found, to which action their preservation was mainly due. The sinking of the fonndations of old buildings is due to the action of worms, and no building is safe from this unless tho foundations are laid lower than tho level at which the worms can work— namely, about eight feet below the surface.
Another useful effect produced by worms is the preparation of the soil for the growth of seedlings. By their agency tho soil is periodically sifted and expostd to tho air, and in this way is able to Uetain moisture and absorb soluble substances of use for the nutrition of plants.

The WickedneM of Sleeping. That idea was almost dominant in religious society 60 years ngo, and sometimes assumed forms which, if not ridiculous, wore at least quaint. It was, for instance, held to be wrong for any but the aged to sit in easy chairs, not, as is now vainly imagined, from any ignorant Idea as to the injury done to the figure, but because "lolloping" betrayed a blameworthy tendency to ease and self indulgence. That was the origin also of the extraordinary prejudice against taking any extra sleep. The old knew well that sleep, when sleep is not needed, is to the yonng the most wearisome of all obediences nevertheless they believed that to wish to sleep more than a strictly regulated time, wbioh, according to modern bygeists, was too short, was a mark of sluggish self indulgence, and it was visited, therefore, with moral reprobation.
Early rising was extravagantly praised, not becuuse it lengthened the ciuy, tor 1 the early risers went to bed early, but becanso it was riisugreoablo, and some carious rules of diet—for example, abstinence from sugar—were defended in part upon the same principle. Wo have known girls cut off their curls avowedly because they were proud of them, and men go about in shabby clothes becanso, as they averred and beheved, it was well by diminishing comfOTt to promote serious retleetion.—London Spectator.
Kandiyohi's Premature Celebration. When the lato W. R. Marshall was governor of Minnesota, a strong effort was made to move tho state capital to the capitol lauds in Kandiyohi. It became an issue before the public in the election of members to the legislature, and as soon as the legislature convened a bill was introduced. A fierce fight followed, resulting in tho passage of tho measure through both houses. It was plaoed on Governor Marshall's desk for signature. The residents of Kandiyohi became wild over tho success of the bill, and before tho governor had affixed his signature they came down to St. Paul, engaged 8 or 12 oxen, attached them all to a wagon on which was placed a miniature design of tho old capitol, under which was emblazoned in largo letters, "To Kandiyohi County." This vohicle was drawn through Wabasha and Third streets, St. Paul, and while the people did not like it, they remained quiet until the governor had acted on the bill. In a few hours after the display the governor vetoed the measure. The Kandiyohi boomers did not have two-thirds of the legislature, and it was impossible to pass the bill over the veto. St. Paul'B celebration followed.—Minneapolis Journal
V/ilnon and the Expert
A gooa gold dust story is told on George Wilson, who owned the famous Paris mine in Park county, Mon. Wilson was visited by some Englishmen one day, among whom was an expert of the English pattern—one who knew all about mines and a great deal about everything else, in his own opinion. They wanted to see some of Wilson's gold, and he panned out some very fine colors for their edification. "But that isn't gold," pronounced the youthful expert, after a critical examination. "Me deah fellah, I am a graduate of the English School of Mines, and I know gold when I see it, you know. That is iron."
Wilson didn't say much. He just leaned over and took the alleged expert confidingly by the shoulder: "Mebbe it isn't," he said, "hot don't go and give It away to those fellows down at the Denver mint, fur I have been selling this stuff to them for s^old all along."— Butte Mountv.i'.i.
