As the experience of dwellers in neigh
boring city with their hydrant water occurs
in this city as well, a scientific statement
of the harmlessness of this water animal
cule will be of interest, although its nutri-
tive value may not be appreciated. The
Philadelphia Ledger says The mass of
repulsive wriggling thread-lile worms,
which came out of down town hydrant
and was sent to the Ledger office wan
turned over to DIR. Henry f. Formal, of the
University of Pennsylvania, who is also
one of the coroners physicians. "While
these little creatures" said DIR. Formad
''may not be very pretty to look at, they
are entirely harmless. They are of the
worm species, and are common in Philadel-
phia hydrant water. In fact they are a
diminutive species Of earth worm, and are
allied to the species called Lumbricoides
If a man should get lot of these down
his throat, he can rest perfectly assured
that no trouble will result, for the juices
of the stomach will digest them, and that
Is the end of the worms, and the man is
so much better of for so much additional
nutriment. In other words, they. would
act as 80 much food. They are about
from one-quarter to one-half an inch in
length. The knotted mass which you
sent me is q large collection of these
worms coiled together. This coiling is
characteristic of this worm tribe" 1r.
Leidy has also made a report as follows
"The little worms are Lumbriculus linn.
erus, and live in enormous numbers in the
soft sedimenatry mud of reservoirs, where
they often make the whole surface appear
red from their projecting and necessarily
vibrating tails. II is these worms that pro
duce the little brown flakes that look like
vegetable particles seen 80 frequently il
the water drawn from the hydrant. III,
worms themselves are harmless, but, N
they are the hosts of certain parasites, in
directly, they may prove to be an evil.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ltdger says People who are
careful about their health had better begin
to study up ''ptomaines," But what are
''ptomaniesS" DIR. Cyrus Edison of the
board of health, who has been studying
mp the accounts of the recent poisoning
of number of persons ut Momence, Ill, ,
by eating dried beef, volunteers an answer,
thus My opinion is, that this trouble
was caused by that very thing. Ptoma-
MES are little basic bodies, or principles,
that were discovered not long ago by the
distinguished Italian professor, Salnii,
which developed under certain conditions,
not yet very well known, under putrefying
meat Enough has been shown, however,
to suggest to me that this almost unknown
poison is at the bottom of most, if not all,
the mysterious poisonings we have had
from sausage, from cheese, from canned
salmon and canned gools generally, and
now and then even from ice cream. When
we understand better the conditions favor.

WHEN SPRING COMES.
Mary ~. Krout.

Along the yellow roads the grass
Shall softly creep like noiseless feet,
A thousand odors subtly sweet,
Shall breathe where'er the south winds pass
The first pale blossoms shall unfold
Beside the lingering drifts Of snow,
The dandelion wake and glow
Ere fades the crocus' white and gold.
The swallow ON his airy wing
Shall soar where skies are softly blue,
In thickets wet at noon with dew
The hermit thrush shall lurk and sing.
But who shall care for these, alas
II from grave the flowers shall grow
And warm rains only melt the snow
To hide the dead beneath the grass.

Strain and ROiI.

In answer to numerous inquiries con-
corning drinking water, filters, &C., it may
be said that simple plan to strain water is
to place layers of flannel cloth over the
nozzle of the hydrant or spigot The mi
mute hooks in the web of the flannel make
''catchers" for mud and its accompani-
ments. If you boil this filtered water
afterwards such impurities rs are invisi-
BILE are made harmless. These simple ar
rangements give but little trouble, CON
sidering the security they afford.

The Austrian Ministry.

Now York World.
In proof of our justice and our friendly
sentiments we approve the act of the Gov
eminent in withdrawing Mr.. Kelley from
the italian mission, to which it was a
gross blunder to appoint him. But when
Austria, without any proper or sufficient
reason and only in order to curry favor
with Italy, declines to receive Mr.. Kelley
mt Vienna, we insist that the President and
Secretary of State shall refuse to recog-
nize the Austrian Minister accredited to
to the United States. We can find lust
as good reasons for rejecting him MS the
Vienna organ furnishes for rejecting Mr.
Kelley. The size of his ears does not
please MS. Or we are offended at the re-
markable name of the secretary of lega-
ton, Baron Paumgartten. So that if
Franz Josepf,as he has a right to do, shuts
the door of his palace in Mr.. Keiley's
face we shall insist that Grover Cleveland
shall shut the door of the White House in
the face of Baron Ignatz Won Schaffer
and his secretary and advise them to pack
up their carpet-bags and make tracks for
Vienna. If Austria can do without us
and she certainly would have done better
without us than with us at the time of the
Martin Koszta affnir-we can do very well

The household department Of the
Philadelphia Ledger has the following:
You can tell n well bred person by the

insecure folks, who have very little in

"You'll be down right soon" and da

Would anybody suppose that visit or "a
long talk had PASSED between these peo-
pie, and that usually they merely speak
this hospituble formula for want Of some
thing better TO say? 1t is not the custom
of good breeding TO handy this give and
take when saying good.Jy. People come
no sooner by being SO asked. 1t is silly.
II is like the weather warm enough for

more to say to your friend on leaving her,
why should you beg speedy meeting !?
II you have enough to say you will not
waste time in this parrot-like chatter,
which always bears the marks of viil-
garity about it, The women who indulge
in il are of the sort who will keep II coli
ductor waiting and cur full of passen-
gers looking ON while they exchange
sounding good-by kisses in public. How
hopelessly unconscious of the ridiculous
such persons are Besides, il you are
ON visiting terms, it is taken for granted
that you will present yourself, as soon as
occasion or intimacy offers, at tile house
of this friend or acquaintance met. Eli
quette is short cut to common sense,

The End of "a Famous Journal.


The ST James Gazette.
The P'esse, one of the oldest and for
many years one of the leading French
Journals, will shortly cease to appear.
1t was founded by Emile de Girardin iii
1876, and it inaugurated new era in
journalism. IL was in fact the first French
penny paper.n 1t started with mn
uncommOnly brilliant staff. Dumas did
the dramatic, Gautier the art, criticism ;
Mdme. dc Girardin (Vicomte be Launay)
was the principal chroniqueur. Soulie,
Merry, George Sand, Gerard de Neryal,
Alphonse Kari, and several other hardly
less distinguished writer's were among its
regular contributors. Girardin made the
feuilleton, or serial story, special feature
in his paper, and Balzac, Sue and Sandeali
wrote some of their best stories for lis
pages. Chateauhriand's ''AIemoires d.
0utre-tombe" and Lamnrtine's ''lIistoire
DIES Girondinsn first saw the light in the
feuilleton of the PresSe. Girardin, who
wrote the daily leader, WAS host in him
self. His motto ms journalist was "a
new idea every day." and lie fairly carried
it out in practice. The I'resse did not
represent the views of any political pnrty /;
it went with the country, aud only aimed
ut rejecting public opinion. Oddly
enough Girardin did not foresee the Com
d'Etat, and kept crying out "Confiance' -
to the last moment Though lie left his
bed at five o'clock every morning, TO say
word for the Government of the day or
to champion some cause he had at heart,
he had not the slightest faith in the power
of journalism to influence public opinion.
The ridicule which he continually poured
upon the idea that any man took his ideas
from the papers scandalized his more
earnest confreres.

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1885-01-29

An effort will be made by the present leg
islature to submit a prohibitory amendment
to vote of the people. 1t is to be hoped,
but hardly to be expected that such effort will
meet with success.
Every republican should vote for such sub
mission. The party was squarely committed
to the measure in its platform, and the fact
that ultra prohibitionists used their best en-
deavors to defeat the republican ticket af-
fords no good reason why republicans should
not stand squarely on the platform of their
party and use their best endeavors to secure
its submission.
A great number of the people of the state,
perhaps a majority of them, desire the priv
ilege of voting on such amendment, and they
ought to have it. As it requires two-thirds
vote of both houses to submit it, there is but
slight hope of success; nevertheless the peo-
pie will hold the republican party responsible
for an honest effort to bring about the desired
result.

mischievous person, with slight regard fer
