For IL hurts me when rise!

But I've lost out both my eyes!

With my rival in her arms
A fine young miss, most surely,
Arrayed in her borrowed charms1
Ny dresses. and my slippers, too,
But sadder, oh, eadder than all,
She's won the dear love have lost
For I'm only last years dol!

I'm tucked out of sight in the closet
Forgotten, despised and abusedl

Alone with my troubled heart:
Sweet mistress, still I love thee,
Inconstant though thou art!

Steamships and Emigration.

Emigration has in these latter year,
had its character and its proportions rad.
ically altered by the revolution in the
facilities of communication between the
opposite shores of the Atlanta. It is moi
only that the ease and cheapness and
speed of transit have abated the terror
and mistrust which emigration once ex-
cited. The emigrant felt that there was
no place for repentance if his new home
should not content him. He now is con.
scious that a return is a matter of few
weeks and q few pounds. Though he
may never cross back himself, he beholds
perpetually friends and neighbors COM
ing and going. He hears of relatives at
home. The fashions and customs of his
old and his adopted country are con-
stantly assimilating. But more i'm

and smoothness of the high-road, which

igrants went to found colonies and es-
tablish themselves in fresh homes. Their
departure relieved the mother country
from disafected agitators, or from cries
for food it could not satisfy. So far it
benefited, and it expected nothing more.
The importation on great scale of food
from the rich American soil is 3 novel
result of European emigration. A few
years ago it was impossible to look upon
emigration as a means of feeding Europe
No means existed of conveying either
from the American plantations to the
Atlantic sea-board or from the sea-board
to Europe the surplus food, abundant as
it might be. A couple of centuries back
Surrey could not sell its surplus stock in
London. Fifty years since the American
Northwest would yet more in vain have
raised its millions of bushels of grain

Some years residence in the country,
much of which has been spent in visiting
the various villages under exceptionally
advantageous conditions for arriving at
the true state of the feelings of the peo-
pie, enables me I hope, to throw some

which justify the National movement, on
the aims and ambitions which actuate
the leaders, and to bear testimony to the
general acceptance by the mass of the

Trichina Talk.

1.-The worms as found in pork, with
very rare exceptions, are in q torpid con
dition, coiled up and imprisoned in Z
tough sack or capsule, which they never
leave until the pork is eaten by some
animal. the gastric juice of which dis.
solves the sacks and sets the worms free,
to increase in size, pair and breed. Each
female produces a brood estimated al
from 1900 to 10000. The young ones
cling to the Will of the hosts intestines,
producing diarrhea, which is the first
symptom of trichinosis. After breeding
for some weeks the old trichin,e die and
are elected from the system. The young
ones bore through the walls of the intes-
tines and make their way along the fibres
of those muscles which are able to move
by will. The worms absorb the juices
as they pass along. Continuing the
migration for about a week they reach
the proper age or condition to 60 to rest.
They then bore through the sarcolema
or coating of fibre of the muscle, and
coil up within it. This produces rheu-
matoid pains, Inflammation and swelling
of the muscles occurs about two weeks
after eating the infected meat, and is the
most critical stage for the subject. If
the brood is not sufficiently numerous to
cause death to the patient, a cyst forms
around each worm, Inflammation goes
down and they cease to trouble their host,
who may from time to time take other
broods until he becomes infested with
millions of trichina and yet live in good
health.
Enormous numbers of trichina have
been found in human subjects who have
died from accidents and other causes,
and have not been suspected of harbor-
ing trichin8. In a German who died in
the London hospital from wounds, Drs.
and Cobbold found about
100, 600, 900 of trichin@, or at least the
counted in small portions of the
flesh warranted that number in the whole
body. These had, no doubt, got in the
subject few thousand at time. There
were perhaps years between taking the
first and later lots, the subject being ad-
dicted to eating raw and under-done
meats. Fortunately. thorough cooking
meat will destroy all trichin@ it may
contain. A very large number of expert
ments has been conducted in England
and Germany by feeding trichinous flesh
to various animals and birds, and these
give us complete history of trichina.

can be carried through quietly and rea-
sonably. The whole programme was
well thought out and executed; no ex-
cesses have been committed nor are any
likely to be. No greater mistake can be
made than to accept the assertion that
the movement is confined to the towns
of CAIRO and Alexandra. I have had
occasion during the last eighteen months
to visit many of the villages, and may
say with absolute certainty that all the
leading men, the shieks, the mudirs (if
not Turks), the various muffettishes-
in fact. all the people who influence the
masses-are warm supporters of the Ma
tional party. The fellah certainly knows
very little about matters political, but his
experience of Turkish and European in
reference with his affairs makes him
view such interference as not an I'M
mixed blessing. The Turk, by means
of the Kurbach, extorted from him the
last piastre possible; the Greek and Ital-
ian money-lender does the same by
means of the mixed tribunals. Who can
wonder at his supporting the sheik Of
his village, and through hun the National
