Lewis, of the British Amy, having
been assigned to special duty under
the Sanitary Commission for the Gov
eminent of India, IN examining the
urine and blood of certain patients,
discovered the presence of living, act
i've worms, hitherto unobserved. These
worms are 1-75 OF an inch III length,
and they have a transverse diameter of

Gus as to be found in blood drawn
from any part of the body, and so per

TEN toy months or years without any
marked evil consequences being OBJ
served. 1t IS said, however, that they
may give rise to serious diseases, and
ultimately cause death These worms
appear, through the microscope, like
lncompletely developed snakes they
move necessarily, coiling and uncoil-
ing themselves, and rush about among
the blood corpuscles in all directions.
They do not appear to exist anywhere
but IN the blood and urine.

One Of the most chemically impe-

their impecuniOsity the conviction
that the world owes them a living,
went into one of the hotels the other

a drink. The bar keeper knew his

whereupon the thirsty soul turned
around to those in the room, and said
sadly, /" Isn't their anybody here who
will loan me fifteen cents 2" There
was silence for a moment, and then
the amount of scrip was handed to
the begger, who, turning with it in his
hands to the bar keeper, said, "Now,
will you let me have drink ~ Ger

out a glass with bottle of whisky.
Mr., Beat poured full to the brim,
drank, smacked his lips and turned
away from the bar. The bar keeper
dehcately reminded him that a quid of
currency was due for the quo of liquid
Mr.. Beat smiled as he returned the
fifteen cents to the stranger from whom
he borrowed it, with the remark to him
behind the bar, 'tThis debt is the old
