TRIcHINA SPIRITs-DEATH OF SEVERAL PER-
SONS FROM EATING Diseased PoRK.-The
trichina fever which prevailed here to such
a fearful extent few years ago, says the
New Y ork Sun, of Tuesday, has again brok-
en- out afresh, and so far with equally fatal
results After careful semitic investiga-
tion into the causes of this dreadful malady,
the savants traced it generally to rats, from
which hogs receive it by feeding on them
in sewers and elsewhere, and these in turn
impart it to human beings who eat largly of
pork. When these animacula get into the
human body and effect a odgment, the case
is hopeless. 1t was proved by this investi-
CATION that boiling is the surest method of
destroying trichina in meat Last week
seven boarders in German boarding-house
in Carlisle street, sickened with this malady
and were taken to hospitals Two of them
died day or two ago in the New York hos
pital, and a piece of flesh taken from the
arm OF one of the men while he was alive,
when placed under the microscope, revealed
millions of these creatures 1t is also re-
ported that several deaths have occurred
from the same cause in different parts Of the
city.

INNOCENT REPLY.-The pastor of a
popular church at the South End, on
Sabbath evening, at the Sunday School
concert, said:
"Boys, when heard your beautiful
songs to night, had hard work to keep
my feet still, What do you suppose is
the trouble with them?
A" ChilJIainS, sir, cried out little six
year old boy, which Notwithstanding the
solemnity Of the occasion set the whole
audience in roar.
