A correspondent of the New Orleans
Medical and Surgical Journal tells of a re-
markable result of the use of steam as a
disinfectant of ships. The vessel to be
treated was made tight fore and aft, and
the steam turned on for the requisite
time. The hold was found to be in good
condition after the cleansing, and the
disinfectors entered the cabin. But
they discovered that the fine furniture
and cabin work had fallen apart and lay
in comprehensive heap on the floor. The
steam had melted the glue.

An exchange remarks that there is
disposition on thcpart of some ofour con-
temporaries to get up a scare about
trichine, and have probably succeeded
in alarming any of their readers foolish
enough to regard this sensationalism as
enterprise. Nevertheless, the people con-
tinue to eat pork, and very few of them
die of trichiniasis. 1t will be noticed
that in all reports Of such cases the names
of the victims show them to have been
German.
The fact seems to be that trichlnn can
not survive great heat. If pork is
thoroughly cooked, as it always should be-
1t may be eaten without fear of contract
ing trichiniasis.

by reading by freight at night. Judge
Kelley got his education as a printer anc

Pulitzer, the New York editor, had a
private tutor: Hepburn, Of Iowa, was
educated in the common schools and the

and Taulbcc and Boutcllc had prl-
vate schools. One hundred and sixty
four of the members of the present House
have had collegiate or academic cduca-
tions, and eighty put themselves down as

schools. The majority Of collegiatc-bred
men come from small country colleges,
academies and scminarics, and many
of them states that they have grad"
uated at some noted law school, such a
Harvard, Ann Arbor or New York. Har-
ward has seven college graduates, Prince
