Interesting Facts About Trichinp,

DR.. Tomboeken, of Chicago, furnishes
some interesting facts relating to trichi-
nae. When taken into the stomach the
parasites are inelosed in individual lime
capsules. These enveloping sacs are
absorbed by the juices Of the stomach
and the trichin@ are set free. Within
six days the male and female meet and
population takes place, the result of
which is the birth from each female of
no less than 1000 young. The old and
the young alike soon begin to wander
about. The latter are so small that they
penetrate the walls of the stomach or
lntestines without causing much, If any,
disturbance or pain. During the ten
days before the wandering begins there
is no serious trouble. In the meantime
they have been carried pretty well out
OF the stomach and into the intestines.
The myriads which have set out ontheir
expeditions go IN every direction, and
are SO numerous that they pierce the
flesh with millions of infnitesim1 holes.
L he result is a disarrangement of the
tissues, and Inflammation sets In. While
the parasites are in the stomach they
cause nausea. There is loss of appetite,
but no pam, except as excessive von1t-
ing or purging may cause it. When
once In the muscles, pain begins. There
is not prickling sensation, as one might
suppose, but dull pain, like that Of
rheumatism. During the sickness the
patient is unable to retain food in his
stomach long enough to derive any
nourishment therefrom, and he finally
dies of exhaustion. When the trichin@
has once left the stomach, or intestines,
nothing can be done to arrest it Ia its
course. It continues to burrow through
the flesh until it sees fit to curl up, when
it becomes incased in its membranous
sac. It is then dormant, and remains
an indefinite period In that condition,
still retaining life, but powerless to do
harm until it is released by some such
process as that described above. Trichin@
are killed by heat no greater than the
boiling point; hence there is no danger
from trichinae in eating pork which has
been thoroughly cooked.

Churches as Savings Banks.

There are in the city three penny say
ings banks in connection with churches.
They belong to st. Andrews, st. James
and All Saints. The banks receive any
amount, from 3 cents upward, but do
not encourage the depositing of large
sums, the object in view being to pro-
mote habits of economy among the
poorer classes. Trustees and officers
have been appointed for each bank, the
former being responsible for all moneys
received The bank is kept open every
Saturday evening from to 8. A com
mittee of twelve manage the institution,
giving their services gratuitously. ANY
amount from 2 cents upward may be
deposited, 4 per cent. interest being al

the soles of boots and shoes, and re-
peated as it dries until the pores are
filled, and the surface shines like pol

To REMOVE GREASE STAINS FROM
WooD.-Spread some starch powder
over the grease spots, and then go over
it with a hot fatiron till you draw the
grease; then scrape with q glass or a
proper scraper, and repeat the starch
powder and hot iron. Ammonia liquor
may be used as a finish, if the starch
does not take all the grease out.
To REMOVE freckles from YOUR face.
take one ounce of bitter almonds, one

remove freckles without decomposing
them, by merely stimulating the alb
sorbent vessels of the skin.

incubation With Snake Poison.

A wonderful prophylactic for snake
bites, if true, Is given by Nine. Calder
on de la Barea In her "Life in Mexico, :"
page 431. Speaking of Tamtsico, she
says: "We have Just been hearing a
curious circumstance connected with
poisonous reptiles, which have learned
for the first time. Here, and all along
the coasts, the people are in the habit
of inoculating themselves with the poi
son of the rattlesnake, which renders
them safe from the bite of all venomous
animals. The person to be inoculated
is pricked with the tooth of the serpent
on the tongue, in both arms, and on va
rious parts of his body, and the venom
introduced into the wounds. An erup-
ton comes out which lasts few DAYS.
Ever after these persons can handle the
most venomous snakes with impunity;
can make them come by calling them !;
have great pleasure in fondling them,
and the bite of these persons is poison
ousi You viii not believe this, bat
we have testimony of seven or eight re-
spectacle merchants to the fact.
GA gentleman who breakfasted here
this morning says that he has been
vainly endeavoring to make up his
mind to submit to the operation, as he
is very much exposed where he lives, and
is obliged to travel great deal on the
coast; that when he goes on these expe-
ditions he is always accompanied by his
servant, an inoculated negro, who has
the power of curing him should he be
bit, by sucking the poison from the
wound. He also saw this negro cure
the bite given by an inoculated Indian
to white boy with whom he was fight
ing, and who was the stronger of the
two. The stories of the Eastern jugglers,
and their power over these reptiles may,
perhaps, be accounted for in this way. 1

Vermont Graveyard Literature.

With the possible exception of the adj
vertisements In old newspapers, there is
no department of literature which seems
to yield such perennial pleasure as an

upon a monument which can hardly be
classed as "ancient'' yet, because the
man for whom it is intended is still liv-

under his own eye, for there would have
been great risk of some departure from

The Ideal Editor

The ideal editor is an independent
man, having his own convictions, and
impressing these on his sheet till it
takes the color of his mind. He is not
merely the echo of his subscribers Opin-
lons-he sends forth no uncertain
sound. All know where he stands. He
has, as James Lowell said of Joseph
Tinker Buckingham, something in
him gritty" So at last men come to
read his paper as they read Horace
Greeley's, trusting in him as an honest
man, who always said what he thought
and who had some thoughts to say.
The ideal editor is also a man of con-
science as well as a man of conviction.
He knows that he wields Il mighty
weapon-that he influences the public
mind every day, either for good or evil.
He knows that he is always making
men better or worse-teaching them to
respect truth, justice, humanity, phil
anthropy, or to sneer and laugh at
them. This description is not wholly
ideal; no doubt it has been realized
more or less fully. Perhaps there have
been as many ideal editors as ideal
ministers. Newspapers, like churches.
are usually on the side of what is best.
and trust both are growing more so.-

Why Boys Don't and Should Learn
Trades.

1here Is conspiracy among society
men all over the country to keep Amer
lean boys out of the useful trades, and
industrial education is thus under the
ban of an outrageous despOtism, which
ought to be put down by the strong
hand of the law. 1t is thus seen that
while the common school naturally
turns the great multitude of it's attend
ants away from manual emplOyments,
those who still feel inclined to enter
upon them have no freedom to do so.
because great army of societymen
stand firmly in the way, Overruling en-
ployer and employed alike. The public
hardly needs to learn that the result
OF the indisposition and inability to
learn trades among American BOYS is
about as disastrous as can be imagined.
1t Is found that in the prisons, almost
universally, the number of criminals
who never learned trade to those who
are skilled wOrkmen, is as six to one,

can handle nothing but shovel. A
New York clergyman, possessing large
family of boys, recently declared from
his pulpit that he intended that every
lad of his family should learn some me-
chanical employment, by which in an
emergency, he could get living. He
was right. 1t is in the emergencies of
lite-it is when men find themselves
helpless, and without the power of
earning money--that they slip into
crime and become the tenants of pris-
ons and penitentiaries. So the Ameri-
can people must, sooner or later, be
driven to the establishment of indus
trial schools. To learn how TO work
skillfnlly with the bands must become
il part OF common education. Rich and
poor alike should be taught how TO
work, for 1T is quite as likely that the
rich will become poor as that some of
the poor will become rich: and that is.
and always must be, poor education
which fails to prepare a man to take
care of himself and his dependents in
lie. We understand what to do with
CRIMINALS. We cOnfine them and SET
them to learning a trade, especially the
young criminals. The reform schools
never leave out the element of mammal
industry. Why is it not lust as leoiti-
mate to teach the virtuOus how to take
care OF themselves without crime as II
is the vicious ?-J. G. Holland.
