CaUse of Tr;chiDcn in Pork.

Some new cases of deaths due to the
eating of pork infested with trichin@,
quoted in western journals, should be
the means of directing public attention
anew to the horrible diseases of swine
called trichinosis, and to the fact that,
when once the parasite attacks human
being, the result is prolonged suffering,
and, i'll multiplicity OF instances, death.
The worm existing in the pork literally
bores its way out of the stomach and in
TO the muscles. It has lately been found
that swine may become infested with
| trichin@ through eating carbon, or even
decayed vegetable substances. This is a
| point worth consideration by farmers
who incline to the belief that dead chick
ems, putrid swill, or any other filth about
the place is Legitimate food for pigs The
animals are not dainty in their tastes.
and will lunch off their de,d relatives
with infinite gusto; but it is the poorest
economy TO permit hogs to assume the
roe Of scayenger. No milk-dealer viii
allow his cows to eat garlic if he can help
it, though the brutes are crafty fond of
the odrifer0us weed; and there is certain
II more reason Tor the falmer 20 see that
his po-keis1 have no access TO unclean
food. In the one case, If precautiOn be
neglected, the taste OF the milk is affect

The MANLY B0y.

What is it that makes a manly boy? 1t
is not size or weigh, fer there are some
large, heavy boys that are anything but
manly. We saw once q big, eurly fellow
about fourteen years old, with q fist like a
small sledge-hammer and a voice as loud.
aim s., as that OF mule; bat we did not
think he was very manly when we saw
him pick up sma boy, who was quietly
playing with little wooden wagon. and
lift him above his head while he screamed
in his ear as lOud as he could, and then set
him down. The little fellow was pal
with fright, and cried; the big fellow laugh
ed aloud and went his way, ha-ha inc as
ne went, and thinking no doubt he had
done very Fl e thing. But be was not
manly
Nor docs the power of smoking cigar
without getting sick make a manly toy.
Some boys think so, we know. We have
seen even small boys nine and ten years
old; pick up stumpS of cigars which men
have thrown into the gutter, and puff
away at them, holding up their heads and
stalking along, as if to say, Ladies and
gentlemen, look at rs. We are men, we
are. We smoke and don't ct sick" But
they are not men.
A manly boy is one who shows good
ma ly qualities. We do not expect him
to be as large as O man, as strong as man,
or as wise as man. But he will be truth
full, honest, and well-beh wed. He will
never speak ofhis father as the sgOverno ~
or the "old man," nor will he ever speak OF
hi mother as The ''old wonidn." He will
not be ashamed to have it known that he
loves both his ia her and his mother; nor
will he be afraid of all the ridicule which
silly boys may heap upon him because Of
this love. They may call him q ''baby,"
and say what they please about being ''led
by his m0ther's apron strih9s;'he does not
mind that, for he knows he is right.
He will never engagein low, mea sports;
he loves real sport, but will do nothing for
sport that he would be afraid to talk about
at the dinner table. He docs not torment
small boys bus helps them when he can.
His sisters are not careful TO hide their
work, th-ir books, Or their toys from him
lest he should disturb or destroy them; he
would never think of that. He. is careful
no. to to be greedy at Ebe table, or rude
in company, but remembers that others
have gifts IS well as himself.
Does anybody say this is all very well
to talk about, but that no one ever yet
saw such boys as here described? We an
swer, There are such boys, plenty of
them, and we have seen them" They are
as fun of fun as other boys; they equal
anybody at The different sports in which
boys delight; they swim, and skate, and
play bali, and roll hoop. and run, just like
other boys, but their behavior is gentle
and kind
These manly boys, when they grow up,
make real men; they will be, in the best
s.uSe Of the word, gentlemen.

Pors MT Shifted to The Farm,

If the only good that boy ever did
about the farm was TO repair the pump
hang gates, make mole-traps, put III rake
teeth, file the saw, and hang the grind
stone, and he did these things we'll, OBJ
viously the farm is not the place for him
but machine shop is. If a boy viii

give him a chance at the yerd-stick, and
not have him around troubling the other
boys who are handling horse-rales and
pitch-fOrks, and the ike employments.

Work as a Remedy.

DR.. Dio Lewis says: A lady has just
left our rooms whose case illustrates an
important idea. Ten years ago she was
an invalid. Her malady was obstinate
and at the end of years treatment a
consultation resulted in the opinion that
her case was cerebro-spinal irritation
from which she would never recover.
Six years ago her husband died. His
estate proved insolvent. The wife EN-
gagged in an active occupation to support
her three children. In year she was
well and has remained so ever since.
There are two million dyspeptics in
America. Nine in ten Of them could be
cured by work. A wealthy clergyman
from a neighboring state assured us that
he had spent eight years and thirty thou
sand dollars in seeking cure tor his
dyspepsia. lie had travelled everywhere
and consulted al sorts Of doctors. We
are afraid he will never forgive us for
telling him that six months hard work
would make q well man OF him.

your forehead is ridged with wrinkles
before 40, what will it be at 20? There
is one consoling thought about these
marks of time and trOuble.-the death
angel almost always grasses them. Even
the extremely aged, in death, often wear
smooth and peaceful brows, rendering
our last memories of them calm and tran

Cruelty to the sick

The tact required for a sick-rOom diff
fers from all other kinds of experience.
Amateur nurses seldom possess it. Now
and then a lady is to the manner born,
and without instruction or previous ex-
pc. ice blossoms into fi1ll-grOwn
nurse at a moments notice. The doctor
who finds one ready in a house reioices
heartily. His own credit, as we'll as the
recovery Of the patient is probably as
Sured.
Seldom, however, has he this good
fortune. His ordinary experience is
very different. If he wishes the sick
room kept at certain temperature, he
| cannot have it managed. The fire is
alternately half extinct and blazing up
the chimney. There is no care to have
it warm at sunrise and sunset, and mod
crate when the sun is shining and the
air is warm. The invalid is awakened
from priceless sleep by hearing the
cinders fall on the unprotected fender.
or by the noise of a clumsy hand putting
on Goals, which might easily have been
wrapped in pieces Of damp paper and
| left ready for noiseless use The morn
ing meal is perhaps delayed until the pa
tient has passed from appetite to faint
ness. Perhaps, when it comes, the tea is
smoked. Household troubles are freely
discussed in the room. Mary has given
warning because there is SO much more
going up and down stairs since missus
was I'LL; the cook is so extravagant, and
yesterdays dinner was spOilt; Johnny
has cut his finger, and Lucy has tumbled
down stairs; such things are told as If
they would amuse the invalid.
But worse than this is the mysterious
whispering at the door, and the secrets
obviously kept to excite the nervous
patients suspicious. The irritating
creak of dry boot, the shuffiing of a
loose slipper, try sick PERSONS patience
unreasOnably; and the amateur nurse
argues against such silly fancies, and
thinks they are matters in which reason
ing can be Of any avail. The unframed
nurse never commences her arrange
ments for the night until the patient is
just beginning to grow a little sleepy.
She then arranges-the pillows, moves the
chairs, stirs the fire. and perhaps makes
up her own bed. Such fuses at sleep
ing-time produce fever in most unac-
countable way, and the ameteur is
amazed and bewildered because the pa
tient lies awake all night. Besides all
this, and no matter how noisy and elabo-
rate the preparations for the nights cam
paign, several things are forgotten down
stairs; no beef-tea is to be had in the
middle Of the night, no spoon for the
medicine, no boiling water.
Amateurs do not know that sick peo-
pie should not be asked what they will
have, but should be Saved even the men
tai eXertion of making choice. How
ever desirable it may be that they should
arrange their affairs. business matters
should not be discussed before. them.
Sometimesa man who has not made his
will before his illness will be anxious and
uneasy until he has made it, and will get
better when the matter is of his mind.
But to arrange such things requires nice
ty and tact, such as the amateur, who
perhaps shares the sick mans anxiety,
cannot shOw.-Sdturtldy ReUieW.

Vanishing Turniture.

When furniture requires revarnishing.
it should be thoroughly cleaned, by rub
bing every part with pulverized pumice
stone and water; then when well washed
and dried, the Vlrnish should be laid on

obtained from the store, is generally
ready for use; but if found too thick too

that it may not ignite. Put the varnish

surface with the brush after once leaving

remove small pits or imperfections, and
to form better ground on which to

Compulsory School Law.

Not suit has ever been brought in
this state to enforce the compulsory
school law, although tens of thousands
of children might be-breught under ed
ucational blessings by means Of provis-
ions. The last legislature even did away
with the special republication of the law
each year. This is not the fashion in
England. The people there are slow to
take up reforms, yet when once enacted
are vigorous in pushing them.
Horace White, former editor of the
Chicago Tribune, writes from the city OF
London that in the course of some ex-
piorations in the districts where the poor
er classes live, he spent an hour in a
police court, where the whole time of the
magistrate was taken up in imposing
fines upon parents for not sending their
children to school. Having provided the
means Of education, London logically
sees TO it that these means are en-
ployed."
