MISCELLANEOUS.


When the frst developments concerning
trichina were made, an excitement was Gre
ated which threatened to ruin the pork busi
ness OF the country. Subsequently it was
denied that there was any danger from this
new and terrible disease, and that the whole
affair was merely sensational The Illinois
Academy of Sciences, composed of the most
distinguished physicians and scientific men
Chicago, have lately devoted month TO
careful investigation of the subject. They
brought to their aid the science of chemistry
the most powerful microscopes, and all the
appliances of the laboratory. Samples of
pork from all the great packing houses in
Chicago were examined; and the result is
the announcement that trichina exists in the
western pork to a greater extent than i'll
Germany, where its effects on human life
have been so fearful
The gentlemen comprising the Academy
o. Sciences are of character and standing
which precludes the idea of their being
either interested or incompetent to judge
correctly concerning the matter in question,
and their opinion is, therefore, authority.
Thus it is settled beyond all dispute that
| trichina does exist in western hogs, all repre-
sentations 10 the contrary Notwithstanding
but the practical question that interests every
one, is whether il is safe to eat pork at all,
or whether the use of this very Important
and almost indispensable article of food
must be abandoned. The report says that
cases of trichiniosis are exceedingly rare in
the United States, "because of the American
system of thorough cooking; that triebina
is never found in old American cured HAMS
that sausages are the most dangerous form
of swine's flesh that raw pork should never
be eaten in any form; that trichina exists
only in lean meat and is most numerous
along the backbone; and that it is killed by
heat of 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
The report assigns fithiness in the pens
where nogs are kept, and in Their iood, as
| the cause of trichina, and declares that 1t
will be prevented by keeping the hogs where
they cannot come to the ground, and feed
ing them on clean vegetable food. Farmers
who are interested in making pork will do
well to make note osthis, for ifirichiniosis
should prevail in this country, the pork
raising business is dead. -...r
| The report recommends a system of micro
scopic inspection by regularly appointed
officers and it concludes that there is no
occasion for panic, but only for the exercise
of caution in eating imperfectly cooked
meats Bridg90yt Coma Standard.

In youth's bright morn, when life was new,
| And earth was fresh with dew and flowers,
And love was warm, ard friendship true,
And hope and happiness were ours.
We started, hand in hand to thread
The chequered, changcful path of life d.
And with each other trusting tread .. ..
The battle-felds of worldly strife g.,
We ranged in walks obscure, unseen,
Ger rugged steep, through vale and glen,
And climbed along the hillsdcs green,
Unmindful the future then.
We caught the song of earliest birds,
-. We eulled the loveliest flowers of Spring,
We phghted love in whispering words, ..
And time sped by on fury wing. .. &c.,.
And as it passed, new joys were found,
And life was gaddened by the birth 81.
of prattling babes, who clustered round
To cheer with smiles our hun bic hearth.
Fate thrust us forth before the world. s-.-..
And phantoms whispered early fame,
Where hopes proud banner is unfurlcd,
And happiness too oft name.
Thus lured along, we rode the dark
And foaming tide of public life,
And proudly dared, with splendid bark, .......
The elements of storm and strife. .a'
But storm and strife, thank Heaven have passed;
The night has fed and morning come
And we, tossed mariners at last -'
Returned once more to hearth and home
But Of the loved ones God had given,
Two have returned-two sunk to rest
ln life's gay morning called to Heaven,
10 the bright mansions of the best.
They sleep amidst Spring forest glades.
Where flows its sreamlets murmuring waves;
And oft at evening" gentle shades q
Will weep beside their early graves -

| A NICE IDEA.-A London lady, cores
ponding with her country cousins through
the medium of the press, mentions novel
beautiful and withal inexpensive, ornament
for the dinner table. She says: Talking OF
dinners, let me tell you of new idea.
was present at very reherche entertainment
the other day, where l saw the following
arrangement for the centre of the table :
| "There was large square block of Wenham
Lake ice, weighing, should, say, at least
| twenty-five pounds, which was placed on
glass castors, in dish or trough of some
kind; the dish was rendered quite invisible
by being entirely filed with moss, into
which soaked the water which melted from
the ice. Delicate ferns fringed from the
edge, and bright.colored flowers were en-
bedded in the moss, the foliage reaching
above the lower edge of the ice.
The object of raising the block on castors
is to prevent the water from accellerating
the melting OF the mass. Over the iceburg
there were two arches, prettily arranged,
crossing each other; they were, apparently
of cane, and were bound round by garlands
of flowers. The effect was enchanting The
atmosphere was delightfully."- cooled the
flowers were kept fresh, anc the sight of this
translucent mass was far prettier than the
most costly centre pieces of gold or silver
plate l believe | am right in stating that
this novel idea first made its appearance at
the Orleans House, Twickenham. 1t car be
so readily adopted that felt you would be
glad OF the suggestion.
Coon SocIETY-It should be the aim of
young men to go into good society. We do
not mean the rich, the proud, the fashiona
BILE, but the society of the wise, the intclli
gent, and the good. Where you find men
know more than you do, and from whose
conversation one can gain useful information
it is always safe to De found. 1t has broken
down many a man by associating with the
low and vulgar-where ribaldry was incul-
Gated, and the indecent story, to excite
laughter influence the bad passions. Lord
Clarendon has attributed his success and
happiness in life to associating with persons
more learned and virtues than himself. If
you wish to he respected if you desire hap
piness and not misery, we advise you to as
sociate with the intelligent and good. Strive
for mental excellence and strict integrity,
and you will never be found in the sinks of
pollution, and on the benches of retailers
and gamblers. Once habituate yourself to
virtuous coursc-.a love of good society
and no punishment would be greater than
by accident to be obliged for half day to
associate with the low and vulgar.
