INHABITANTS OF THE HUMAN BODY
What think you, reader, of your body being
a planet, inhabited by living races, as we
inhablt the earthP Whatever may be your
thoughts on the subject, it is even so. Your
body is but home for parasites, that crawl
over its surface, burrow beneath its skin,
nestle in its entrals, and riot and propagate
in their kind in every corner of its frame.
The sensation in regard to trichina in swine
flesh has set the scientific to knocking their
heads together" and the result is the follow
ing facts:
Parasites not only inhabit the bodies of
all animals used by us as food, but they are
also found in abundance in our own organi-
cation. The species trichina spiralis, of
which 80 much has been SAID and whose
existence has been discovered in pork, is
according to our best anatomists, found in
almost every muscle of the human body.
1t lies along the tibres of the muscles, en-
veloped in little cysts or sacs about one
fourth of an inch in length 1t can be dis
tinctly seen and examined only by the use
of the microscope. Prof Wood, of Phila-
delphia, says:-"No evidence has yet been
produced of any morbid influence exerted
by the trichina upon the system during life.
They have been found in subjects carried
I off by sudden death (accidenD and IN the
, midst of health" An English authority
says:-"It is notorious fact that the numer

NIGHT owLs.-Every large city and town
has considerable portion OF Inhabitants
whose occupations require them to be up
and working at night, in order that the re-
mainder of the population who sleep at
nighttime may live in comfort. The pro-
portion of such people is estimated at one
tenth of the entire population, and, in order
that they may enjoy as much comfort as pos
sible. the New York World argues that for
the benefit of these night owls, in that city,
the places of refreshment should be permit
ted to remain open all night, and should not
be closed as Is now the case by perempto-
nv police regulation, at twelve O'Clock, mid"
night. The World estimates for New York
that at least SO, 500 persons are kept up the
, whole or greater part of the night by their
occupations and pursuits, good or bad, and
among this class enumerates 1900 car CON
ductors and drivers, 900 omnibus drivers,
200 hackmen, 200 ferry laborers, 1000 hote
attaches, 300 policemen, 1900 physicians
1000 laborers, $1,000 persons employed il
restaurants, 400 nurses, 5000 sewing women
600 fireman, 500 milkmen, 800 newspape
people, $4,000 bakers, $500 butchers, 100 bil
! posters 500 rag-picksrs, and $500 attache
} of theatres and music halls. 1t also est
, mates that 5000 thieves, 5000 gamblers, 600
warrants and 15, 900 other disreputable peopl
are abroad at night-a statement that doe
not show very excellent condition of Me-
' York morals. 1t thinks, too, that nearl
d 10000 other persons go to balls, theatr
and parties, or seek pleasure elsewhere, r
10 naming out late at night. 1t is thus evide
10 that the night population of large eli
ID bears an important proportion to the who
lie number of its inhabitants.

We extract the following from the

1900:
WASHINGTON ENToMBED-GEoRG
Town, December 20.-On Wednes-
day last, the mortal part of Washing
ton the Great-the Father of hie
Country and the Friend of man, was
consigned to the tomb, with solemn
honors and funeral pomp.
A multitude of persons assembled,
from many miles around, at Mount
Vernon, the choice abode and last
residence of the illustrious chief.
There were the groves-the spacious
avenues, the beautiful and sublime
scenes, the noble mansion-but, alas
the august inhabitant qCas now no
more. That great soul was gone. His
mortal part was there indeed but
ah how affecting how awful the
spectacle of such worth and greatness,
thus, to mortal eyes, fallen Yes
fallen fallen
In the long and lofty Portico, where
oft the Hero walked in all his glory,
mo,o lay the shrouded corpse. The
countenance still composed and
serene, seemed to depress the dignity
of the spirit, which lately dwelt in
that lifeless form! There those who
paid the last sad honours to the
benefactor of his country, took an
lmpressive-a farewell view.
On the ornament at the head of
the coffin, was inscribed ".Swge al
Judicium," about the middle of the
coffin, "gloria oleo'-and on the silver
plate,
GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON,
Departed this life, on the 14th De-
cember, 1899, 1Et 6S.
between three and four o'clock,
the sound of artillery from n vessel
in the river, firing minute guns,
awoke afresh our solemn sorrow
the corpse was removed-a band of
music with monrnful melody melted
the soul into all the tenderness Of
woe.
The procession was formed and
moved on in the following order:
Cavalry, Infantry, Guard,
With arms reversed.
Clergy, Music.
The Generals horse, with his saddle,
holsters and pistols.
Pail Bearers
Colonels Sims, Ramsay, PAYNE, Gil
pin, Marsteller, Little.
CORPSE.
Mourners, Masonic Brethren,
Citizens.
When the procession had arrived
ut the bottom of the elevated lawn,
on the bank Of the Potomac, where
the family vault is placed, the cavalry
halted, the infantry marched towards
the Mount and formed their lines
the Clergy, the Masonic Brothers.
and the Citizens, descended to the
Vault, and the funeral service of the
Church was performed. The firing
was repeated from the vessel in the
river, and the sounds echoed from
the woods and hills around.
Three general discharges by the
infantry-the cavalry, and II pieces
of artillery, which lined the banks of
the Potomac back of the Vault, paid
the last tribute to the entombed
Commanderin- Chief of the Armies
of the United States, and to the de-
parted Hero.
The sun was now setting. Alas (!
the son OF GLORY was set forever.
No-the name of Washington-the
American President and General
will triumph over DEATH! The un-
clouded brightness of his Glory will
illuminate the future ages
