The name trichina spiralis" comes
from two Greek words, signifying hair
and curled, abiding to the hair-like form
of the animal and the curled position
which it assumes in the cells in which
it is found in the muscular system. The
male worm measures only the one-twenti-
eth of an inch in length the female is
little longer. 1t was discovered by Prof.
Owen in portion of human muscle sent
to him from ST. Bartholomew Hospital
in 1884.
In few hours after the diseased meat
is taken into the stomach trichina sepa-
rated from il are found free in that or
gan. Thence they pass into the duode.
num- and afterward into the small in'es-
tine, where they are developed On the
third or fourth day eggs are discovered,
these eggs being alive, as we have found
to be the case in other analogous larvae Of
which we have specimens. From the in
testines and other cavities where the young
are first produced they penetrate into the
substance of the muscles, where some
times as early as three days after the dis
eased meat is taken into the, stomach they
| may be found in considerable numbers,
and so tar developed that the young ento-
ZOa have almost attained size equal TO
that OF the full grown trichin2. They pro-
gressively advance into the interior of the
small bundles Of muscular fiber, where
they may be often seen several in a file.
one after the other. Behind them the
muscular tissue becomes atrophied, that
is, hardened, and around them an irrita-
ton is set up which ends in producing
cyst in about two weeks Thus it will be
seen that the whole muscular system is
filled with these parasites, each one the
central point OF Inflammation, and of
course of terrible suffering, until the
friendly hand of death closes the scene.
These cases. we think, must be more
frequent than is generally supposed, from
our having so many brought to our notice
within short time. and this fact would
be good reason for entirely giving up
swine's flesh as an article of food But
there is a sure preventive for all this.
Thorough cooking will render pork abso-
lutely free from any injurious effects in
this direction
If we give up swine's flesh for the rea-
son that 1t contains entoZoa we shall be
obliged for the same reason to discard all
animal food. One Of the same family
which we have mentioned as causing sick
ness among the Egyptians is of frequent
occurrence among cattle, sheep and
horses, the hare, the rabbit, etc. Another
species is found in the liver of the salmon,
in the alimentary canal Of the pike and
perch, and also many species iniest the
teathered tribes.
We ought perhaps to say that, although
the careful smoking Of pork is said to kill
the trichinp, it is never safe, in our opin-
ion, to eat pork which is not very thor
oughly oked.-PrQf. L. ". Piper.

MOund.Bullders' Relies for the Cen.
tenniaI Exhibition.

Yesterday a most valuable and inter
estlng collection Of ancient pottery and
human bones, from mounds in Southeast
Missouri, was received at the Centennial
office, No 404 Walnut street. The speci-
mems are nearly 100 in number, and con-
slst mostly OF eating, drinking and cook
ing vessels, very queer in shape and Curl
GUS in their characterization. Some have
inscriptions upon them, but "A second
Champollion might be required to make
sense OF these inscriptions. Some of these
bones indicate that there were giants in
those days" and the skulls are of n thick
ness TO bid defiance to anything less torci-
bic than minie-ball. The explorer of
these wonderful mounds says the skele-
tons seem to indicate the distinction OF
sex, the larger skeletons having on each
SIDE OF the head an eating and drinking
vessel, while the smaller ones, answe ring
to the women, were honored with nothing
better than IA small pot or stew-pan.
Those American Pharaohs had evidently
very poor notion of woman'S rights.
Among those persons who curously in
spected these archaeological wonders was
Isaac Cook, Esq, of the American Wine
Company, and upon his own motion the
experiment was tried OF drinking imperial
from one OF the ancient cups that had
been buried for ages. The company bob
nobbed with these ancient inhabitants,
concluding that the wine was not injured
by being quatied from an antediluvian
cup.
The work of elimination is still going
on, and large additions will be made to
this department at the Missouri Centen-
NAL collection. There is also great activ-
ity In every part OF the work, and the Sec
retary Is receiving daily additions to the
store OF products from the mines and
farms OF Missouri. -Four boxes filled with
valuable specimens were received from

" My dear, what do the papers mean
by saying that a man has 'sQuealed y"

mean that some member Of the ring has
'peached' on the rest"

dividual soon perceives great improve
ment OF mind and a self-reliance in any
position in which he may be placed. 1t
is by ehis systematic training of mind and
/ habits that one class Of farmers rise SO
| much above another class in knowledge
| and influence. There is no ROYAL road TO
greatness, and if we would be wise we
must perform the labor that is involved in
obtaining knowledge.
| This arithmetical principle should be
| applied to the farm itself in the aggre-
gate, taking into the account the condi-
ton OF the buildings, garden, orchards
and small fruits. If the farm cost S., 900
when in rather poor condition, and re-
pairs are put upon any part thereof, an
exact account Of the cost should be kept,
and added to the value of the real estate
Thus, by building a good horse barn for
horses, carriages and hay, you eXpend
$500; this is really valuable improve
ment, and of itself may enable you to sell
the property for $500 more than it would
have brought Without it, So in setting out
orchards, small fruits, improving the gar
den, painting the buildings, fences and the
like.
ltisnot merely question of loss or gain
involved in this precise mode of doing
things, but also one of enjoyment and
safety. Every business man should, like
the successful merchant, train himself TO
a strict systematic mode of thought and
action, and will derive great satisfaction
therefrom in subsequent years, as he re-
views his former life and mode of action.
The writer of this article, after years of
practical experience, now retired there
from, finds 1t a source of very great enjoy.

UNION PRAYER MEETINGS, well attended, have
been held by the two foreign Congregational Churches
every evening this week in the vestry room Of the
Fort Street Church, and by the two native churches
alternately in the Kawaiahao and Kaumakapii
Churches. On Wednesday evening however, the
members of all four churches, natives and foreigners,
met in q real union meeting at KaWaishao, which
was well filled, and q deep interest was manifested.
The reading, praying and speaking exercises we're
alternately in English and Hawaiian while the
hymns sung were printed on slips in both languages.
The utmost cordiality was manifested in the services,
and several natives spoke feelingly Of the /" common
ground " Of religious belief and hope upon entering
on which all distinctions Of race must be lost sight Of.
FIRE AT HANALEI.-The schooner Fairu Queen,
which arrived from Kauai on Thursday morning,
brought the unpleasant news Of the destruction by
FIRE Of the mill buildings at PrinceviIle Plantation
The FIRE occurred between eleven and twelve O'Clock
on Sunday evening the 9th inst, and the origin is
as yet unexplained. We understand that the actual
loss at present is estimated at about ST., 900, though
the delay which will result in getting in the crop
now ready will probably entail a farther loss Of some
500 o The insurance is stated at $3.50, Of
which s. 1000 is with the North British and Mer-
camille, - and So, 80 with the Imperial" Insur-
ance Company, both Of London. These are two Of
the best companies represented here. The North
British =" was also interested in the loss Of the Ha-
lava Plantation, burned some time since, which
claim was promptly paid.
SAILING OF THE NEW NETTIE.-Capt. Crane, in
his brand-new schooner the Nellie Merrill, sailed
for Lahaina on Wednesday afternoon, a little after 4
o'clock. a large crowd assembled to zee the new
and beautiful craft for the first time under sail, and
many were the ordinations Of commendation upon
her handsome appearance. We have frequently
spoken in terms Of deserved praise Of the workmanship
Of her builders, the Messrs. Foster, and now we must
not omit to speak Of her sails, the work Of J. NJ.
Dat s. Co, sailmakers Of this city. Their perfect fit
and snug set would attract the eye Of even a lands
man, and s~eafaring men looked at them with admir-
ing eyes. While the schooner was 10 sight from the
town the wind was too light to afford q chance for a
display Of her qualities, though she glided through
the water as if to the manner born. But the trades
were evidently strong in the channel that night, and
we expect to hear that the new -Nsttie gave q good
account Of herself on this Der maiden trip.
