Tanewnrms from Watar

Lausanne, Switzerland, adds to its pre-
vlouS fame for water pestilence an in
stance of the extraordinary prevalence OF
tapeworm among the population residing
around Lake Leman. 1t is attributed bv
DIR. Zschokke to the fish of the lake, espe-
cially perch, being largely infected from
some cause together with the water, also
OF course, either as source or result with
the germs of this formidably spreading
parasite. The case is that of young wo-
man published August Is, 1887, by DIR.
Roux, Surgeon of the Cantonal Hospital in
Lausanne, and quoted in the New York
Medical Record who discharged at one
time about hundred bothri0cephaH Iati.
full ninety of which were extricated from
the tangled mass, and distinctly identified
by the doctor by four and half hours
labor, Numerous very long ribbons, and
all that had not distinct head; or an alb
solutely thread-like neck and Il ward of
length, were left out of the reckoning
neither were any of the ribbons which had
been discharged several times by the girl
for couple of weeks previously taken into
account. The length of individual bothri-
ocephali varied between $50 and 60 cent?
meters. In this case the worms passed
out ip a mass equal to about three quarts,
the patient assisting the delivery by tear
ing the package with both hands, and at
the same time uttering fearful shrieks, like
a woman in labor. The agonizing deliv-
cry lasted ten minutes In addition to the
scientific publication of all water supplies,
which should be one of the first objects of
professional agitation, the doctors ought to
impart all the information attainable with
respect to the kinds of fish and food ami
mails most liable to contain parasites, and
the indications that may serve for warning
in individual cases.-Saaisary Era.

WISE COUNSEL" Boys" said Mr.
Pennyweight to his sons, aged respectively
ID and II years, I'm going to give you q
pocket allowance this year" The boys
almost Rugged themselves with transport
Their parent continued: " Pm going to
give each of you fifteen cents a week.
The boys grinned. But mind five cents
of that you're to put in the collection
basket at church, and five cents you must
donate to the Sunday-school. That will
leave you five cents week apiece to make
merry on. Mind you don't get extrava-
giant. Just see how much of that you can
put in the savings bank Wastefulness is
the precursor of poverty and luxurious
tastes are frequently followed by want. Be
thrifty; remember that Franklin said a
penny saved is penny earned. Run along,
boys" And they ran along, but their
beatifc visions of fifteen cents week hav-
ing been resolved to the slight tangibility
of third of that sum their cup of glad
mass was not brimful, and they fear that
the allowance will little more than supply
their selfish desire.-BstatO Courier.

in spite of the hardships to which they
are exposed. How they first came there,
or of what origin, is conjecture, and tradi-
ton merely hints the story of violent
storm, with its attendant shipwreck and
loss Of all on board, save lot of ponies
from some European port, which were cast
upon the sands, and surviving the storm
became the progenitors of the race now so
numerous. Having to rely on instinct
alone, these animals are subject of study
to the naturalist, as they are prey not
only to the driving sands but to the storms
of the Cape, that break upon and over the
narrow sandbar, and change with each re-
curing hurricane that topography of the
country. The ponies, choosing the pro-
tected side of the hillocks, burrow deep
into the yielding sand and stamp out a
protected stall where they take refuge from
the storm and, while many are destroyed,

MAKING SCREWS.

The process of making screws is very
interesting one. The rough, large wire in
big coils is, by drawing through hole OF
less diameter than itself, made the needed
size. Then 1t goes into machine that at
| one motion cuts it proper length and
makes head on it. Then it is put into
sawdust and "rattled," thus frightened.
Then the head is shaved down smoothly to
the proper size and the nick is put in at
the same time. After rafting" again in
the sawdust, the thread is cut by another
machine, and after another rattling,"
and thorough drying, the screws are as

do this move like ightning), crossed by
weight, and packed for shipment. That
which renders it possible for machines to
do all this is a little contrivance that
looks and opens like a goose's bill, which
picks up a single screw at time, carries it
where needed, holds it until grasped by
something else, and returns for another.
This is one of the most wonderful pieces of
automatic machinery ever seen, and 1t has
done its distinctive work at the rate of
thlrty-one screws minute, although this
rate is only experimental as vet. Ninety
three gross day, however, has been the
regular work of one machine.-Enguirer
WILD PONIES ON THE SOUTHERN COAST
On the banks or sandbars that divide
the Atlantic Ocean from Pamlico Sound,
North Carolina, just inside the lighthouse
that marks out to the mariner dreaded
Cape Lookout, there is to be found a hardy
race of ponies known rs Bankers" These
ponies have lived there as long as the
tradition of the oldest inhabitants dates
back. Entirely surrounded by deep water
at all seasons, having no communication
with the mainland, and being barren of
vegetation, save scanty growth of sedge
grass and low shrubs, the banks have re-
manned uninhabited except by these
ponies, which seem TO thrive and multiply

Overdone Weddlng-Gift Business.

A Philadelphia bride was reported a
while ago as saying that she had received
over 200 wedding presents, and not a
single piece of silver nor single lamp in
the lot" Her case was lamentable But
this wedding-gift business has been greatly
overdone, and many are asking if there
can be no relief from it. A wedding has
come to be simply donation visit, such as
the Methodist people make to a pastor to
piece out his salary. The true spirit of gift
making is lost sight of. This must neces-
sarily be the case where several hundred
guests make present merely because it is
a fashion, and because they would be
thought niggardly if they failed to follow it.
We all follow it, but the real motive, if it
could be analyzed, could be found to be
selfish and cowardly one. This is about
the case when analysed: % J. can't afford to
make this PRESENT. will pinch me finan-
cially to do so. But neither can l afford
not to do it, should be considered mean,
instead of having the extreme satisfaction
of being thought to be as liberal as Mr.. or
Mrs. Blank. This gift-making is terrible
infection, but one can't ignore it." There
is no heart in such gift, and no sense.
Where one has circle of several hundred
friends the question of expense for the car
rying out of this custom becomes serious
for every one whose income is limited. A
reform could be inaugurated if every one
about to be married would send out with
the invitation this word: No presents re-
ceived." -Hartord Times

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.

PUSSYs CLASS.
L" Now, children" said Puss, as she shook her
head,
1T is time your morning lesson was said.
So her kittens drew near, with footsteps slow,
And sat down before her all in a row.
Attention class ~ said the cat-mamms,
"Apd tell me quick where your noses are
at this all the kittens shifted the air,
As If it were filled with perfume rare.
Now; what do you say when you want a
The kittens wanted a moment to think,
And then the answer came, clear and loud
You ought to have heard how those kittens
meow'd
" Very well. 'Tis the same, with sharper tone,
When you want fish or a bit of bone
Now, what do you say when children are good ~
And the kittens purred as soft as they could.
and what do you do when children are bad ?
When they tease and pull ~ Each kitten looked
sad.
Pooh y said the mother THAT isn't enough
You should use your claws when children are
rough.
And where are your claws? No, no, my dear
(As she took up a paw See, they're hidden
here"
Then all the kittens crowded about
To see their sharp little claws brought out.
" Now 'spiss as hard as you can" she said
But every kitten hung down its head,
" 'Spiss? / say" cried the mother-cat
But they said, 80, mamma. we can't do that"
80 Then go and play" said the fond mamma
What sweet little idiots kittens arel
All, well, was once the same, l suppose"
And she looked very wise and rubbed her nose.

BACTERIA FIGHTING BACTERIA.
Is the Unseen World to Extinguish Por-
lions of Itself?


The new underworld of micro-organisms
is also a fighting world, as well as ours.
But for this it is too probable that we
larger organisms could hardly exist, and by
it we may yet be able to conquer every
such pest in the human system with its
identified natural antagonist. A German
medical journal says that DR.. Care has
been examining the mutual relations of
heterogeneous, and has found that there
Is sharp antagcnism, probably through
! their exertions. More likely by what
they take than by what they leave For
instance, some aerobes, which spread only
on the surface of gelatine in 4 short time
so alter the nutritive substratum that GER
tain other micro-orgauisms cannot exist in
1t. Various observations made by the cul-
tivation of cholera and typhoid bacilli
have shown that there is probably antag-
onism between pathogenic species and or
binary harmless saprophytes. One species
! proved to be pre-eninently antagonistic,
viz, the bacillus fuorescenS putriduS (Flugge).
1t eXcretes specific substances the oxida-
ton products of which tinge the gelatine
with 4 greenish color, and hinder the de-
yelopment of the one set of species, while
1t has no effect whatever ON the other set
If such civilizations were removed from
the gelatine on the third or fourth day
and the stdphylococcl,s pyogenes aureus inoc-
ulated on this medium, no development
took place, nor did the typhoid bacillus
the pneumonia bacillus, and others, devel,
op. Tie Asiatic cholera bacillus and the
bacillus mycoides developed but slowly, but
the bacillus dathraciS had a luxuriant
growth. 1t appears, therefore, that the
bacillus .fuoreScens putridus is pronounced
enemy of the pneumonia and typhoid ba-
GILL, and by its implantation the nutritive
substratum is protected against them The
converse, however, does not hold. There
are also so-called symbolic bacteria that
flourish side by side, and some even, which
Care terms metabiotic bacteria, whose
existence depends on the presence of 9TH
crs. He asserts that these facts are not
confined to experiments in test tubes. He
points to the strife between saprophytes and
cholera bacilli in ichor and canal water
The cholera bacilli always succumb. SIM
liar conditions may occur in the intestine
and may in some cases lead to the suppo-
sition Of natural indisposition to cholera
Immunity from a disease may be caused
not only by heterogeneous of like species
(vaccination), but perhaps by entirely diff,
ferent microbes. Antagonism quickly pro.
duced in the living body may favorably
affect infectious diseases already existing

SHIPPING APPLES TO EURoPE.-It is
only within few years that the shipping
of apples to European ports has assumed
great proportions, The figures for 1877
show that nearly 44S,000 barrels were
thus shipped. These figures fall little
over 10000 barrels below the total ex-
port of the previous years owing to the
''off year" shortage in the west. OF the
total export 246, 1000 barrels were consigned
to Liverpool, 1000 TO Glasgow, 81, 600 to
London and $4,000 to other European
ports. Only the best keeping varieties are
used for the export trade. Prices in for
eign markets are continually advancing.
The remarkable feature of the shipments
is that apples of red color sell the best in
England, where they were almost un-
known until they were imported from this
country.-Hdrtford Post.

A COLORADO GLACIER-High up in
the mountains of Estes Park, and near the
summit of Hague's Peak, there is said to
exist veritable glacier. 1t has been
named Hallet glacier 1t is said by the
Pixies Peak Herald to be remnant of one
of the numerous large glaciers which
flowed in all the upper canyons of the st.
Vrain, Big Thompson and Cache la
Poudre. Its greatest diameter is about
one-fourth mile. Although shrunk to
such small dimensions, it still preserves
its true glacial character, as evinced by
the ice of which it is formed and the
numerous crevasses which traverse it. The
crevasses are caused by the strain brought
upon the ice by its motion, and are
peculiar to glaciers. The largest on
Hallet glacier is 300 feet deep, the bottom
being filed with new snow, which the sun
cannot reach. There are others-some
open and some covered with thin crust
of snow.

collected by DR.. Samuel Sexton, on the
effects of boxing the ears. In ffty-one
eases upon his records the ear has been in

One had inflammation of the ear, and a
running of the ear for twelve years. This
patient died of brain disease. In another
case the ear became infamed and the
hearing much impaired. In another the
patient was slapped by his father on the
