SENATORS' HAIR.
Senator Palmer has thick, silvery white locks. Senator Voorhcos liiis a heavy mass of beautiful gray hair that was once a deep bronze.
Senator Davis of Minnesota has only a little fringe of hair l:jl'b that circles the baso of his skull.
John Sherman, although a deep thinker, has a luxuriant mass of iron gray locks that ho combs back from his forehead.
Senator Hale of Maine has rather thin hair, which ho carefully parts in the middle and brushes down until it shines like silk.
Senator Slioup of Idaho is entirely bald, or what hair is left is so light in color and so sparsely scattered that it is not to be seen.
Isham G. Harris, the Democratic leader in the senate, is excessively bald and has a large scar on the top of his thick, white head.
Matt Quay has a perfect mane, which ho wears rather tumbled. Right on the crown is a bald spot about the size of a dollar.
Senator Perkins of California has quite a bald spot, which he tries to cover with a lock of side hair grown long and brushed across it.
David B. Hill looks to bo the baldest man in the senate, as the small amount of hair he has is jet black, making a striking contrast with his shining scalp.
OUR GIRLS.
A girl who has a poor form deserves admiration for the clever manner in which she hides it.—Atchison Globe.
How timo flies! The original new woman, being a rib, was a side issue while her advanced modern daughter, generally single, is coming to the front.—Philadelphia Times.
Out in Wyoming a woman wants to be governor. In case she fails to realize her ambition she can still be a governess without arousing any opposition.—St. Joseph Herald.
Easter Sunday this year falls on April 5. This is for the benefit of those who need plenty of time in which to make up plans and specifications for an Easter bonnet.— Boston Globe. "The Kansas healer refuses to treat women who wear corsets." Never mind, girls. Kansas young men are more chivalrous. Just wait till the ice cream season opens.—Kansas City Journal.
THE POLE.
If the north pole has really been found, it won't be long before a British flag will be nailed to it.—Philadelphia Record.
Nansen can't bring tho pole home. He's hemmed in by ice. It's nonsense to ask why he doesn't use the axis of the earth to cut it.—Philadelphia Times.
Now that a Norwegian explorer is said to have discovered the north pole it is time for Great Britain to put in a claim to the proprietorship of it.—Chicago Record.
It would be wise for those who declare that Dr. Nansen could not have found the north pole to wait a short timo till they near what Dr. Nansen himself has to say ibout it.—Baltimore American.
There fire 20 creeks In tills 'country which have beon dignified with the name of the Tiber.
The Yang-tse river of China is 8,000 miles long and navigable for good sized vessels for more than two-thirds of that distance.
The St. Lawrence river is only 776 miles long, but if tho lake system be also taken into account its total length will exceed 2,000 miles.
The San Francisco, a river of Brazil, la 1,400 miles in length and was so called because it was discovered on the feast day of St. Francis.
The Volga is the great river of Russia, having a length of 2,300 miles and draining nearly one-half the European dominions of the czar.
JEWELRY CONCEITS.
Just now green stones are tho fashion. Of course the emerald comes first. Single stones, when of goodly size, are set in gold rims composed of a series of tiny points.
The princess ring is decidedly efifeotive, with its three or five colored stones set in a framework of diamonds.
In anticipation of Easter floral designs In quite new patterns are making their appearance, not only In jewelry, but in silverware.
Anew use has been found for cluster earrings—namely, to mount on ohain bracelets. The cluster remains intact and may at any time be returned to its original purpose.

ONLyEARTHWO
YET TJIV jHAVE CUT QUITE URE IN THE WORLD'S HISTORY.
The WoVni Has No Eyes and No Sense of Hearing, bat Is Senaitiwi to Strong Light and Vibrations of Sound—Objects of Antiquity Preserved by Earthworms.
The common earthworm, despised by man aud heedlessly trodden underfoot, fulfills a part in nature that would seem incredible but for the facts revealed by the patient and long continued researches of Darwin. "Worms," says Darwin, "have played a more important part in the history of the world than most persons would at first suppose.'' Let us follow Darwin and see how this apparentlj insignificant creature has changed the face of nature. We will first consider the habits and mode of life of (he 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 the other hand, exist submerged in water for several months. They live chiefly in the superficial mold less than 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 end in small chambers in which they can turn round.
The burrows are formed partly by pushing away the earth, but chicfly by the earth being swallowed. Largo qualities 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 sarua time excavates its burrows.
In addition to the food thus obtained half decayed leaves are dragged into tho burrows, mainly for food, but also to plug the mouths of the burrows for the sake of protection. Worms are also fond of meat, especially fat. They will also eat tho dead bodies of their relatives. They are nocturnal in habit, remaining, as a rule, in the burrows during the day and coming out to feed at night.
The earthworm has no eyes, but is affected by strong light if exposed to it for some time. It has no sea.se of hearing, but is sensitive to tho 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. Tho worm appears to have some degree of intelligence from the way in which it draws the leaves iuro 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 organization. For instance, the ant can often be seen dragging objects along traversely instead of taking them the easiest way.
As we have seen, vast quantities of earth are continually being passed through 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 whioh they must have on the soil.
They are, in fact, continually plowing the land. At one part of the 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 ei~fch, which act as millstones.
In consequence of the immense amount of earth continually being brought to the surface by worms it is not diffloult to understand how objects, such as stones, rocks, etc., lying on the surface will in course of time become gradually buried in the ground. Owing to the burial of stones and other objects by the action of worms, ancient monuments, portions of Roman villas and other objects 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 fonnd, to which action their preservation was mainly due. The sinking of the foundations of old buildings is due to the action of worms, and no building is safe from this unless the foundations are laid lower than the 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 the soil is periodically sifted and exposed to the air, and in this way is able to retain moisture and absorb soluble substances of use for the nutrition of plante. —Knowledge.
He Pat It Frankly.
"I've got a quarter here," said the red nosed wanderer, "and I calculate to git me dinner wit it." "What's that to me?" asked the citizen whom he had stopped on the street.
Jist this. I'm goin to git a regular meal—table dote, see—and I thought that may be if you would lend me a dime to git a drink I could git a good enough appetite to eat my money's worth."—Indianapolis Journal.
One View of the Case.
"Mamma, teacher whipped a boy today for whispering in school." "Well, that was right." "But, mamma, he hollered ten timer as loud as he whispered.''—Chicago Record.
The coining of a national convention to a city means the ezpenditnre there in one way or another of $2 \000 t: $8,000,000 for the benefit of ioi al merchants.

INDIAN AS TEACHERS.
Graduates ot Philadelphia Normal School, They Talk. Portions In the West. Luoy Gordon and Jane Eyre, the young Indian girls who received diplomas last Jtlito with the companions with whom the^ had marched shoulder to shoulder through three years at the Girls' High school, and whose names were entered with their classmates at the Normal school last September, bade goodby to the beautiful school at Thirteenth and Spring Garden streets yesterday to take appointments as teachers in Indian government schools of the far west.
Tho two girls have very pretty Indian names and interesting histories. Wincincala (Miss Gordon) is tall and lithe, *7ith refined, interesting features and a retiring manner. She is of the Sioux nation and came from South Dakota when about 10 years old and has been living at the Lincoln institution. She received a thorough preparatory course
JANE 1CV UK.
at tho U. S. Grant school, which was also attended by Miss Eyre. Thelatter's name in tho Indian language is Ghitahkah. J\Iiss Eyre is from the Pawnee tribe, in Incuan Territory, where she attended a reservation school prior to going to Carlisle in 1883. She was a student of the U. S. Grant school with Miss Gordon, and both entered the High school and completed the course together.
Miss Eyre goes to Kansas to become an assistant teacher at the Pottawatomie Agency boarding school. Miss Gordon has been appointed a teacher in the Fort Peck Agency boarding school, Montana. They are the first of their rac? whom the Normal school sends back to become teachers of their own people. The two girls were very much affected at parting with the teachers, and when they left the school carried with thein very sad young faces. Philadelphia Times.
Definition of a Good Wife.
Following is the letter that won the New York World prize for the best answer to "What constitutes the best and most contented wife?"
The best and most contented wife is one who has marched in line with wage earners through every stage of mental and physical tiredness who from the severely practical standpoint of experience in earning a dollar has learned the value of it whose contact with the outside world has broadened her sympathy and general knowledge who has been denied care and consideration, and who, though earning enough of a salary, perhaps, to partially satisfy her taste for the beautiful in life, in art or study, is allowed no time for anything but an insatiable longing for the same. To such a woman the care and protection of a husband and the shelter of a home are a heaven. Any womanly woman from out the ranks of the business world will prove by a lifetime of devotion and helpfulness her appreciation of and her fitness for domestic life if her husband be half worthy.—Mrs. E. Van P. Cummings.
Sliss Mary Lord Drake.
Iowa's "first lady of the land," Miss Mary Lord Drake, bids fair to be a success as the mistress of the gubernatorial mansion. Her father, Governor Francis Marion Drake, is a widower, and this daughter is his only unmarried child, She is cultivated and dignified. Moreover, ehe has no whims. "No, I haven't any particular fad. I am not a girl of fads. I like all good things," she said to some one who asked her if she was making a collection of anything, or had any hobby that she would undertake to popularize. She is an extensive reader in nearly all literary lines, especially with current magazines, and she keeps up to the times in the newspapers. Her devotion to her father is so deep that she strives to keep pace with him in everything that he does, and she thoroughly understands and sympathizes with him, taking the place, to a very large extent, of her toother.
She Gave Him Her Note.
A youth who has worked in an Augusta store long enough to absorb the idea that he is a business man was asked by his eister for a loan of 60 cents a few days ago. He insisted that she should give him a note for it. This she did, and he, in his hurry, pocketed it without reading. When he thought it time for her to pay the debt, he spoke of it. She replied that it wasn't convenient for her to do so. "But I have your note," he said. He polled it from his pocket, and on reading fonnd out that, for value received, she promised to pay 50 cents "when convenient."—Chicago Inter Ocean.
Winnie Davis.
Miss Varina Annie Jefferson Davis, better known as Winnie Davis, will, it is reported, make New York her permanent residence and literature her profession. She has displayed considerable ability in essays and fiction and has a very well written story in a current magazine. The ability to write short stories in first class style is exceedingly rare, and if Miss Davis can keep up the successes she has already made she ha* bright future for her literary carver.
