SANTO DOMINGO. How tlm Anntont City of ColumhiM Ob tnlnml It. Nnine. Santo Domingo Is the oldest city built by Europaan now standing in the western hemisphere. It was found ed by tho brother of Columbus, and i said by soma to hare been named sifter ,heir father, Domcnlco, and by other to have received its tiamu bccauij it was on Sunday that tho uhlp sent from the north arrived there Santn Domiu fro moanrtiff "holy Sunday." Curiously enough, Its founding was the rosult ol a quarrel. , On the northern shore of Ilispaniola, as the island of Santo Domingo was then calldd, was Isabella, tho first Spanish colony In the New World. There, one day, a ' young Spaniard named Miguel Dial, one of tho follow ers of Columbus, stabbed a companion in a fight; and, afraid of the anger of Columbus, he fled into the mountains and went toward the south. After wandering for some days he eame to a river, and following it to whore it emptied Into the sea, found a tribe of Indians called the Oznmas. They had heard of the wonderful white men, who had landed on their island, and they received him with awe, but with kind- ness and hospitality, and took him be fore their queen, Zameaoa, who was famous for her beauty and frontlunons. lie had not lived long with them wheu Zameaca lost her heart to the fair-faced Spaniard, and they were married. For a time, all went well, but Diaz soon tired of the simple life; and his wife, to please him , told him of gold to be found in the river Jayna, and guided him to it Dial then went baok in haste to Isabella, knowing that the news of the discovery would secure his pardon as it did. He guided his avaricious companions to the golden stream, and afterward to the mouth of tho Osama river. There Columbus chose the place for the town. It was be gun in 14913, and it was called Santo Domingo. The Spaniards ill-treated and made slaves of the simplellndians, and Zame aca, seeing the evils she had brought upon her people, fled to the mountains and was never hoard of afterward. The new city grew and prospered until the year 1503, when it was entirely de stroyed by a frightful hurricane, and was rebuilt on the other bank of the river. There it stands to-day, not much changed from the Santo Do mingo of four centuries ago. It is very curious to go from one of our cities, with its new, bright, tall buildings and its broad streets alive with the hum and bustle of business, to this sleepy old Spanish town, where (on account of the earthquakes) the houses are rarely mora than one story high, and are painted various colors blue, green, brown or red; where the narrow streots have sidewalks only three feet wide, and where nobody is ever in a hurry; and to remember, as one walks over the town, that those streets were once trodden by Pizarro, who gathered there the first money that enabled him to start on the expe dition that conquered Peru; by Cortez, the conqueror of Mexico; by Ponoe da Leon, who disoovered Florida; by Bal boa, the first European who saw the Pacific ocean; by Ojeda, who dtsoov ered Venezuela; and by Columbus him self, and his brothers and his son, and the oompanions of his voyages. St. 'Nicholas. EARTH WORMS. Their Asency la Making the 8oll Produc tive. The worms know well that rapid heaving of the soil which betokenB the approach of a mole to their innocent burrows, and tho moment they feel it rush wildly to the surface, prepared rather to face the worst that lark or blackbird may bring upon them than to await the onslaught of their most ruthless and bloodthirsty enemy. If you dig a pointed stick Into the ground and shake tho earth a little by moving it from side to side you will find citi zens of worms hurry up to the surfaco at once, under the mistaken impres sion that the petty earthquake is tome mole's doing. For the senses of earth worms are extremely keen and their perception of danger most acute and vivid. A person unaccustomed to the ways of worms might wonder that enough of them can be found in the compara tively small tract of land which earth mole taboos or occupies as his own to satisfy the needs of so voracious a crea ture, liut, as a matter of fact, tho worm population of England is somu thing incredibly high, to be numbered, no doubt, by millions of millions. Every field on our downs is far mora thickly populated underground than Loudon is 011 the surface; every mea dow is as dense with teeming thou, sands of worms as Lancashire Is with men or an anthill with emmets. The soil swarraS with life. Vinejrar kills worms, and where u barrel of vinegar has been accidentally spilled upon the ground the surface is sometimos positively covered before long by a thick layer of wriggling creatures which have come up to die, as is the wont of their species. Tho abundance and ubiquity of the game explains the numbers and frequency of tho hunters. Every molo eats daily many pounds of worms, and yet cve-y field supports a whole villageful of them. It is the entire drama of nature on a small scale underground remorseless, self-centred, unfeeling as ever. Worms exist, and exist in thousands, because there are myriads and myriads of dead leaves for them to live upon. Almost every dead leaf that falls from tree or shrub or weed or herb, except in au tumn (when the supply all at once im mensely outruns the demand), they carry underground and bury or devour with ceaseless industry. In doing so they create and 'keep up the layer of vegetable mold on the Burfaco of the earth which alone makes plant life, and especially cultivation, possible. Cultivated areas are, therefore, those where worms are most abundant So far as they themselves are concerned, however, the worms eat only for their own appetite's sake and never suspect they are tho friends of lordly man, whose fields and crofts they thus un consciously fertilize.

Usually there is .1 dull heau.i. he, liinne ii' vision, ini jterlect jui.im laiion, (speech), impelled muscular power in lace and limbs, and loss of memory. If these symptoms are pro traded from day to day in a chronic manner will result in sudden death or clemei tia. Early medical treat ment is imperative and will cure. No. IV. The patient is suddenly seized with an agonizing pain. Death seems and often is imminent. Bream is labored. There is a feeling of op pression in the chest. The features are sunken, pain shoots down the arm, sometimes both arms, or there is numb ness in the arms. The pain extends along the surface of the breast, neck and Tower jaw. So severe that sudden death is frequently produced by it. The face becomes pale and covered with a cold sweat. The expression is of extrtme anxiety, alarm and dread. The morbid sensations generally cease in a few minutes suddenly, though there is a feeling of exhaustion. Rare ly does the first attack prove fatal, but it may thus terminate either suddenly or gradually. Physicians are rarely called in time, the paroxysm having passed before their arrival. The treat ment should be commenced in the in terval of attacks as well as during the paroxysms. The above conditions are generally curable. The cure is rarely spontaneous, and if the patient would survive the disease, no delay should be made in having proper medical treatment. No. V. The symptoms under this number apply to a diseased condition of one special organ. Frequently they are quite obscure at first except there is a general decline of vitality. A chem ical and microscopic test is necessary to form a correct diagnosis. In other instances the symptoms are noticeable from the start. The morbid processes in the organ would indicate a number of diseases, each of which is of grave importance and requires special and early treatment. The first symptoms generally noticeable are swelling of the leet and ankles and puffed condition under the eyes. The feet and abcut the ankles leave dents from pressure by the fingers. This may exist in a slight degree for some time, then dis appear for a time, and return again. In other instances the swelling comes on rapidly, and to an enormous extent. Pallor of the countenance at times. Indigestion and dyspeptic disorders are common. Bloating of the stom ach, and in bad cases sometimes to an extent that the stomach is frequently mistaken for the seat ol the disease. Impediment in breathing is sometimes felt. There may be pain in the loins but this is not generally prominent. Headache is frequent, dimness of vision, double vision, two objects in stead of one, night blindness, short and long sightedness in some , cases may be observed. Coma, "stupefac tion" and delirium and convulsions are exceedingly grave symptoms. Pain is scarcely experienced, but languor and a vague feeling to a distress is common. I he termination 01 the disease is not generally favorab e, but many cases are cured by medical treatment. For the want of space I am obliged to cease writing. Perhaps there may be some that will be interested in what I have written in kindness truly, Dr. J. R. Evans. If your lung trouble is of scrofulous origin, Ayer s Sarsaparilla will cure you. A son, a hired hand or the boss himself who kicks, whips and quarrels at the gentle kine that give milk, de serves to be kicked and whipped and scolded himself.

Lifa Is Misery To many people who have the taint of scrofula in their blood. The agon ies caused by the dreadful running sores and other manifestations of this disease are beyond description. There is no other remedy equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla for scrofula, salt rheum and every form of blood disease. It reasonably sure to benefit all who give it a fair trial.
