C Earth Worms.
n wandering through the fields in
the .early nioriiing, we ofteu se little;
heaps o newly disturlied .ea.rth, and oc-'
casiona,lly catch glimpses of reddish or.
phi k bodies quickly "withdrawing into
little tunnels in the ski liiese are
the earth worms, considered the hu m
blest of all animals; yet as iusiguificaht
as they seem, they tire among the most
valuable aids to tlieigriealluris AVe
may appreciate this by selecting a field
at random iu a gmxl producing coun
try, making a section down through
the earth of several feet, when, if care
fully done4 we shall find innumerable
tunnels for hied by the worms, leading
here, there and everywhere. In fact,
the upper crust ot the earth is an end
less maze. of streets, lanes and avenues.
A uaturalist has even attempted to
calculate the numbers of these little
workers, and has come to the- conclu
sion that they average one hundred
thousand to the acre; and in especially
rieh ground in New Zealand it was es
timated that there were three hundred
and forty-eight thousand four hundred
i i . ' 1. fFI-.'
ana eignry in a single acre, iuis
body of worms is continually at work
boring this way and that, coming to
the surface dunn" the ntrht and re
treating to sreater depths during the
day: and it is at once evident that their
. J T . .... i : .
tnunels constitute a syscem oi irngu
tioi and ventilation for the.upper
crust. In other words, rain, instead of
riinniny off. enters the holes, and so
penetrates the earth, thus being held
for a longer time. Air also finds its way
below the surface, so that thejiomesof
the little creatures constitute store
houses for moisture.
But this , is a very small part of the
work accomplished. Ihe worms are
in league with the farmer, are in fact
his unappreciated assistants, upon
whose endeavors lepends much of the
success of Ins crops, luey are con tin
ually swallowing the earth and depos
iting it at the surface, and working it
over and over. If I should ask my
young readers to estimate the quantity
of earth brousrht to the surface of a
single acre in a year, I fear they would
not place the amount as -high as Mr.
Darwin, who states that the vegetable
mold, thus transported, in some places,
amounts to ten tons an acre. think
of it! .If your ten acre farm is one of
these favored localities, these silent
workers, sav to the number of a mil
lion, have ploughed up about one hun
dred tons of earth for you, giving you
a fine top dressing.
The worms not only carry all this
material to the surface, but they drag
vast quantities of leaves and other mat
ter down, that serve to enrich the soil
and render it capable j)f producing
larger crops. Ihe earth-worm of Aus
tralia attains a large size, sometimes
several feet in length, and have been
seen climbing trees. Some. casts found
in India are a foot in length. They
evidently live iil complete darknes;
but it is known that at certain times
and under certain conditions they are
luminous so that a state of things may
exist underground of which we have no
conception and the tunnels of these
little creatures may be brightly illumi
nated. Litimj Light.
Auburn Haired Girls.
Atlautu Constituioti.
All young women possessed of red
hair can remember that in the days of
their childhood their hirsute adorn
ment was a source of mocking merri
ment to their friends, and the term
"sorrel top" : or "strawberry blonde"
4vas one of contempt. They wonder
ed, perhaps, why it was that they were
called "red-headed," when their play
mates were described as being black,
brown or golden ..haired. lint the
"red-headed," girls don't mind now
that it is every young woman's ambi
tion to be auburn haired, and she hopes
by the use of hair dyes to attain the
shade which belonged to the wicked Lu
cretia." If she gets exactly the right
shade she , does not see why" a
single thread of her hair might not be
preserved by the United States govern
ment and exhibited as is ihe one so
proudly shown inFlorence as haying
beh utd to the wicked Luc e i i. It is
odd how many famous women have

Lem Hill's Funeral.
Another of the queer' characters in
White horse cjimp was a man Known
as Lem Hill. He wsis as mild as but
termilk and as dull as a hoe, and no one
ever thought of asking his advice or
interesting themselves in His auairs.
One day he took sick and after a period
lasting about three weeks it was seen
that he must die. It was deemed best
that some one should break; the news
to him, and so "Judge" Kelso dropped
in and aid:
"Lem, you are going to turn up
your toes before another sunrise.
The Judge didn't mean tcf be sudden
or unfeeling, but that was I) is way.
"I guess I am," quietly replied Lem.
"Well, that p'int being settled and
no exceptions taken, what last requests

"Kin I hev a funeral?" queried Lem.
" l ou kin.
"Regular procession
"Yes.''
"I don't expect any coffin, of course,
but I'd like to hev the affair pulled off
reasonably decent. You kin plant nie
on the hill beside the Frenchman. 1
gness we won't quarrel."
"les, well do that, though itspurty
tough digging up thar."
"Needn't mind going over a couple
of feet," said Lem, "and jthe tellers
with the body had better take the left
hand path as they go up; it's etisier to
climb."
"Got anv wealth?" asked the judge
after a moment s pause.
"A couple of ounces, mebbe.
"Mighty slim show for a big spread
on that, but we can't help it. Well,
Lem, its my busy day, you know, and
I must cut this short. Hope you won t

"Jist a few words, Lem, and I'll say

throat. 1 want to make a decent job
of it." '!
"WhatMl you say?"
"Why, that you died happy have

ask for
more, and perhaps it's better than I
could expect. So long, judge. Go
back to your work and I'll "go on with
my dying."
And the judge left the shanty whis
tling as was his wont, and Lem had
been dead over an hour before word
came to us down in the gulch.
The funeral came off the next morn
ing, and it has always been a pleasant
remembrance with me that the judge
did considerable better than he agreed
to. He gave two eulogies in place of
one, and alter the burial he licked one
of the men who wouldn't knock off

Marriage and Divorce in Nebraska.
Nebraska State Journal.
A double marriage was celebrated
r. 1 ! 1 I 1 . II ii
in umana the other uay. uotn cou
ples had been married to each other
once before, and had atterward inter
married between themselves and this
third double marriage restored them
to their normal married condition. It
seems that the two voung couples set
tled down in the same neighborhood
and commenced house-keeping and
soon became very intimate. Finally
the husband in one family and the wife
iu the other became jealous and accus
ed their respective spouses of Leing too
intimate with each oher.
They made it so hot for the accused
ones that the suspected lady went back
to ber mother, and the husband down
at the other house backed himself up
and slid out for Kansas. The desert
ed complainants them applied for di
vorce?, got them, and proceeded im
mediately to marry each other for con
solation. Then the runaways drifted
together, and were married in their
turn. About a year afterward each
of the parties to the new contracts
cooled off and found that the last mar
riages were incompatible, and they were
again divorced.
Now the original pairs have been re
united, and to show that there was no
malice, they were married iu the same
house at the same date by the s.une
clergyman, and made a good time of
it together.
It was a Nebraska re-
uniou.
The Wilrainjrton Messenser savs:
We mentioned recently that Carnegie,
who draws his &o,(XK) a day us Ins
share of profits from his iron mill in
rennsylYania, had triumphed and se
cured the 20 per cent, red net ion in the
wages of his working teoi)le. He is
now determined to get rid of the whites
altogether and to get negro labor if he
can. He is now trying to cet neirroes
in the bouth to go to his mill. Of
course he can easily get all he wants.
He makes nice promises and is very
rich. High wages, comfortable homes,
a free State, oquality with whites, etc.,
such is the picture. But they will
never get irito Carnegie's regal home
save through the back door in the
basement. The Memphis Appeal
says:
"If negroes go there, the displaced
white workingmen will come here
along with the Northern capital that
is pouring into the iron fields of Ten
nessee and Alabama. If the negroes
who accept Carnegie's offer find things
to their liking and should induce others
of their color to follow them, we may
have some news from Pennsylvania in
the course of time which will be de
cidedly interesting to those engaged in
u n ra veli mr tbel ntriccie 6f the" race

the following extract from the New

The most significant feature of the
industrial development of the Southern
States, of which yesterday we pnblish-
eti some account, is the increasing pro
duction of articles for which that part
of the couutry has hitherto been de
pendent upon the North or upon for
eign lands. A few years ago it was
the Southern planters ambition to
grow cotton and sell it in the bale to
the foreign manufacturer. Now he is
learning to manufacture it ,at home,
and the last three years have seen
more than a hundred and fifty new
establishments founded for that pur
pose. The Sjuth nsed to buy of others

fifty-two implement factories and about
three hundred machine shops and
foundries. More than a score of car
and locomotive works in the South are
now supplying rolling stock for the
20,000 miles of railroad built since
1880; three hundred canning factories
have been opened in three years to use
up Southern fruit; and glass, bricks,
furniture, vehicles and a host of other
articles are now being made at home
out of the South's own raw materials.
This is solid prosperity. ; This is sub
stantial progress. This is raising the
South from the dependent condition of
a purely agricultural conntry to the
independent manhood of a symmetri
cally developed nation. It is a splen
