The MigratiOns of a Parasitic Worm.

Among the hosts of animal forms
that live as parasites on or in other
animals, there are certain worms which
are free when young, and become para
sites only at Il later period of their
evolution. For example the Guinea
worm (FEIart0 nlediaenSiS) is the terror
of travellers who visit the coast of Guinea;
it is not only common on the west coast
of Africa, but it has recently been found
in Turkistan and South Carolina. This
worm undergoes its final development
in the simultaneous and intermuscular
cellular tissue of man, and attains q
length of twelve feet. 1t has been as
certained that the parasite, as micro
scopic embryo, is transmitted by means
of the cyclops, little fresh water crus-
tacean. In 1924, Deslongchamps dis
covered in the fatty matter of the COM
mon cockroach great number of small
lenticular bodies visible to the naked
eye, to which he gave the name of
FtlariG rytipLeuriteS. This encysted
worm represents simply the aseXual
state of a nematoid whose migrations
up to the present time have been I'M
known, Les MOndeS gives place to a note
from M. Osman Caller. who has traced
the history of the parasite. He states
that he made use of rats, which he fed
on cockroaches infested with the para
sites. At the end of eight days, having
killed the three rats put to the expert
ment, he found in the mucous men,
brane of their stomachs the nematoids
in question, living, and free from their
envelopes. In one of the rats he found
three females and male, all of which
had acquired their reproductive organs.
Thus is accomplished the last stage of
their evolution. lmpregnation takes
place in the digestive tube of the rat,
and soon after the eggs which are laid
pass out with the fecal matters. These
eggs are swallowed by the cockroach;
the embryos hatch out then in the
digestive tube of the insects, pierce its
walls, and encyst themselves in the
fatty matters to wait till the cockroach
is in its turn eaten by the rat, in which
it is to finish the cycle of evolution

Can the Truth Overtake a Liea

Investigation discloses the fact that the lady
reported in the Associated Press dispatches,
about Aug. 10th, to have died in Chicago after
two weeks use OF some rep,tted remedy for cor
pulency, had not taken Allan's Ant-Fat, but
had used preparation put up by a regular
physician in Luzerne, Pa. Allan's Anti-Fat
is manufactured in Buffalo, n. Y, by the I'M
dersigned. We have already sold over 100, 900
bottles of it, 1t has therefore been taken by
thousands, and we challenge proof that it has
ever harmed anybody, unless the reduction of
obese persons from 20 to 60 pounds, leaving
them healthy and strong, is considered mis-
fortune. Furthermore, we hereby offer So, 900
reward for evidence showing that it contains
poisonous or injurious ingredients. We also
offer $4,000 II we cannot prove that 1t has re-
duced numbers of persons as stated herein,

will out-travel the truth any time: but we
trust that those newspapers that have misled
the public by saying that hysicians attribut d
the lady's death to the use of Anti Fat (Which
is only put up by US, the term "Anti-Fat"
being our trade-mark), will correct the false
impression they have conveyed, by publishing
this refutation.

THE great famine in China has
created a sudden and large demand for
the cereals of the Pacific slope, and the
farmers of that region prosper accord

cisco now go out fully loaded with
flour. Unfortunately many California
farmers were deferred from seeding
largely by the drought of last year, and
the wheat crop of the State is light;
but the crop of Oregon is fair in
quantity and quality. Already the peo-

How A Poor Boy Found Friends.

The Warsaw (Wyoming County,
Western NeoO- Yorker tells the following
story from real life: "In December,
1859, on a cold, stormy day, might
have been seen, in the village and town
of Warsaw, a blind beggar asking for
aims, from door to door. This blind
beggar was led by q little ragged Irish
boy, about eight or nine years old,
whose widowed mother lived in the
city of Rochester. The beggar
was seen to ill-treat and beat this poor
Irish boy from time to time. This
being noticed by one of our humane
citizens, he took the little boy to his
own comfortable home, providing him
with warm clothing and all the COM
forts that he and his affectionate wife
could do, to render his life Chat had
been one of want from the cradle)
happy. They sent him to the district
school in the winters that followed, he
working on the farm in the summer
months, a faithful and kind boy. In
the district school he was at all times
at the head of his class. He was then
sent to our academy, and after time
he taught school in our rural districts.
BY dint of economy and the assistance
of his kind benefactor, four years ago
he entered Cornell University. In June
last he graduated at the head of his
class, having been awarded the highest
prize for scholarship in this college,
where merit alone succeeds. The
once ragged Irish boy has been spend
ing few weeks in our village and
vicinity, but has now returned to take
place offered him at good salary in
the chemical department of this seat of
learning"

What a Fly Did.

The Carthage Qn.) Gazette records
the following interesting case: Mr..
James Howard, of Walker, married an
interesting young lady named Symonds,
about a year ago, and they have lived
costly and happily together ever since.
But the other morning, at breakfast, an
inquisitive and hungry fly dropped
down from his perch on the ceiling,
and, stretching his legs, began Skin
mishing around for his breakfast. He
crawled slowly around Mr.. Howard s
coffee cup once or twice, shifting the
delicious aroma, and wondering how he
could manage to get a drink, when his
foot slipped, he lost his grip, and in a
moment more was floundering around
in the liquid. His struggles attracted
the attention of James, and he pulled
him out and playfully tossed him across
the table. The unfortunate fly alighted
n wet and bedraggled condition on
Mrs. HIS plate. She Indignantly
grabbed him and flung him back into
her husbands plate. James gazed
steadily at her a moment, and seeing
blood in her eye, deliberately picked up
the fly, and, with hand trembling
with suppressed rage, threw it back on
her plate. Then began irregular game
of .shuttlecock between the two, and
that fly flew back and forth until he
was completely worn out. Then the
young wife, bursting into tears, seized
her bonnet and rushed from the house
to the residence of her parents, vowing
she would never come back; and James
went out to the barn, swearing to him
self. In an hour or so the father of the
much-abused wife came over with a
team and removed all her baggage, and
now they "meet as friends no more. :"
They have separated for good, and thus
two lives are rendered miserable by the
single misstep of a fly. On such small
things do our. destinies depend

THE REFORM SCHOOL FARM, AND

The State Reform Farm, a grand insti.

Howe, the Superintendent, has been
there over twenty years, but the late act
of reorganization reached the gentle.
man, and the new Trustees paid visit
last week, with view of posting them
selves and acting accordingly. Much to
their surprise they found the "good
Mr.. Howe" as he is called, had
things in topsy.turvy condition, look
ing to an insurreCtion among the boys.
All the employees had been paid off to
date, and were preparing to leave, and
some, in fact, had gone. All work was
stopped, and the boys were strolling

thing torn up in his family apartments

and everything valuable had been loaded
up, and mostly carried away. "Nolos,"
a Plain Dealer correspondent, says:
The Rev. Mr.. Chidlaw, the Republican
member of the Board, and a member of
the old Board, was perfectly thunder
struck by the condition of things. He
mad always been warm friend of Howe's
and when he beheld the disorder, raised
his hands and exclaimed: "Well, great
God, never expected to see such state
of things in this institution" And when
Howe came to him and asked him if he
would not stand by him, his answer was
a most emphatic negative.
The new Trustees promptly took the
OK by the horns, so to speak, and en-
deavored to restore order out of the
chaos which existed. After persuading
enough of the employees to return to their
posts, word was dispatched to Lancaster

the discovery of the remains of an infant hid in
the wall of house, out Of which the owners had
but lately moved. The circumstances are these
family, one OF the richest and most respectable
in the village leased their house. one OF the finest
in the place. couple of weeks ago, and moved
out to farm they owned In the northwestern
part of the State.
The new occupants of the house took couple
of gentlemen to board with them, and these latter
shortly noticed disagreeable smell around their
room. Thinking rat had died behind the
wainscoating, they removed a portion of it, and
discovered, not rat but the putrid carcass of q
full grown infant, which had evidently lived for
some time alter birth. The rats had eaten the
feet off, and the remains smeled so bad they had
to be buried Immediately
The discovery created great sensation and,
coupled with the fact that grown daughter of
the family which had lately moved out had been
in bed sick short time previous, and that an at.
tempt had been made to conceal the fact of her
Illness caused suspicious of foul play to rest upon
them.
On the other hand, it is hardly probable that
the family would conceal the body in a place
where there was such chance of Its discovery,
when they might have buried it in some part of
the grounds with less risk. An investigation into
the affair is talked of among the citizens, and the
family who formerly lived in the house will be
communicated with. Owing to their respectable.
ity their names are withheld until something def.
