Eating Raw Meat.

The pernicious practice of eating raw
meat prevails to considerable extent
throughout the country among children
Smoked ham is the kind most commonly
used. l do not think parents would allow
it did they know the dangers attending
its use.
The microscope has revealed the fact
that meat commonly used for food (beef
pork, etc. frequently contains living
parasite (Cystlcercus). 1t has been fur
Their shown by experiment that this para
site, when taken into the alimentary
canal, becomes the t9nia or tapeworm
DR.. kuchenmeister performed series of
experiments, showing that when the full
grown joint of the tapeworm is thrown
Oft from its posterior extremity the eggs
which it contains have been somewhat
developed, so that each one contains an

When taken into the stomach of
another animal, passes through its
coats and becomes imbedded in the
muscular and areloar tissues, where the
process of development is completed, and
we have developed Cysucercus.
Now when the meat containing these
living Cysticercus is taken into the
alimentary canal of third animal,
it attaches itself to the mucus men,

comes the full-grown tapeworm. A sim
liar experiment was performed upon the
human subject. Some meat containing
living Cysticerci was given criminal
seventy-two hours before his execution,
and upon examining his body after
death no less than ten young tapeworms
were found in the intestinal canal
These highly interesting and, in prac-
teal view, important facts have been
fully substantlated by number of eX-
perimenters. While it is certain that all
meat does not contain living parasites it
is not safe to eat it raw or not thoroughly
cooked. 1t is a matter of observation
that butchers and cooks are more fire.

meat contained in bologna sausage as

Temper the Wind to the Young Chicks.

Many are the ways in which, in poul-
try keeping, little losses are sustained
which IN the end often amount to COM
parative failure. Exposure Of young
broods to inclement weather is so gross
fault, and is so plainly seen to be
losing operation, that a call of attention
to care in this regard seems scarcely nee
essary; yet chicks often suffer from cold
and dampness when we little think they
do. The present spring has been cold
and backward, and therefore very I'M
favorable to the rearing of early chicks.
In such weather the hens should be kept
cooped up, as the chicks will thus be less
exposed to cold winds. Often have we
been reminded this season that the wind
needs tempering to the young chick as
well as to the lamb. Close coops are
great protection, and except at times OF
heavy rains, or in case of danger from
rats, 1t is most convenient, and
just as well for the chicks So
far as health and comfort are
concerned, not 10 use boards for the floor
ing of the coops. But each day they
should be moved few feet TO fresh
ground to insure cleanliness and exemp-
ton in great measure from vermin. AT
times, when the weather is unusually
rough, and the CHICKS stand crying and
shivering in the cold, quiet, peace and
comfort may be secured by throwing
over the coop d scrap of old carpet so as
to darken it and cause the hen to brood
the chicks as if night had come on

The Brooklyn 's'rinI.

MR. BEACH BEGINS HIS hPEEcH-A LARGE ATTEN
DANcE--scENEs AND INCIDENTs.
william A. Beach, the senior counsel for Mr..
Tilton began to sum up for his client yesterday.
An immense audience filled the Brooklyn City
Court room. Mr., Beach's address was of pro-
liminary character. lie confined himself to an
swering some of the statements and arguments
made i'll the summing up of the defendants
counsel.
Mr.. Tilton's friends, who have been, for some
tlmo, absent were present. and remarkable
feature of the audience was the large number of
strange faces. MIR. and Mrs. Beecher came in
few minutes after the orator began speaking,
pushing their way through the crowded aisles
with some difficulty. Mr.. Beecher appeared
thoughtful as lie listened to tho argument, sell
dom smiling or Whispering to those around him,
as it il his frequent custom to do. Mrs
Beecher watched the orator very intently, some
times smiling derisively, when he spoke with
more than ordinary emphasis of manner and
statement and Mrs. Stowe, who seemed to be
amused as well as Interested, whispered to Mrs.
Beecher and others of the Plymouth party.
MIR. Tilton sat back of MIR. Beach, and listened
to the presentation of his case with absorbing,
and seemingly anxious, interest His face was
generally pale, but at times it flushed red. He
appeared to be unusually idle, having no notes
to take, and very little occasion to search books
OF testimony.
The jury gave their almost undivided atten-
glanced toward the counsel for the defendant,
when the latter were consulting in whis-
pers. There WAS considerable comment,
among tho spectators, upon the remarks of Mr..
Thayer, ono of tie jurymen, on Tues
day, to Mr.. Carpenter, the foreman, in reference
to adjournment. Many thought that these re-
marks indicated a streng division of sentiment
among the jurors, which lay deep enough to
affect the question OF their agreeing upon ver
dict. This appears to have been the only occurr-
ence, however, which could give rise to the idea
that the jurymen entertained any decided differ
ences of opinion.
Mr.. Beach felt somewhat unwel all day, and
he was unable to bear tho least draught upon
his head, 80 that tho windows behind him had
to be closed. lie WAS suffering from neuralgia,
and he sometimes stopped at the end of a sen
tence, as il to conquer pain. He WAS also slight
ly hoarse, but most of the time his utterance
was distinct Mr.. Beacl's manner is very vigor-
GUS. He speaks loudly, and in rotund and
sonorous voice, fills the room. His words are
uttered more rapidly than those of either Mr.
Evarts or Judge Porter and his gestures are
very powerful and expressive.
The argument proper was mostly confined to
answering Judge Porter's summing up for Mr..
Beecher. Mr.. Tilton was praised, but tho orator
said he should not indulge in denunciation of
MIR. Beecher. The publication of Mrs. Tilton's
letters was explained in way favorable to the
plaintiff, and various points touched upon by
Judge Porter were gone over in detail
