Dom Pedro IL. the deposed Empe-

time since the revolution sent him into

His health Is not good and he has been
much depressed in spirits by his mis-
fortunes. Dom Pedro de Alcantara

Gently reported observations of Prof.
Nothnagel. These go to prove that
the development of cysticerci in
the human subject is in some cases to
be attributed to contact with the saliva
of lap-dogs which have been allowed to
lick the faces and mouths of their own
ers. The explanation is feasible one,
and adds a noteworthy contribution to
our knowledge of morbid etio.ogy.
The tnnia echinocoecHs, as is well
known, inhabits the small intestine Of
the dog, and it is highly probable that
the ova occasionally find their way into
the animals mouth; for example, in
vomiting. There are various aesthetic
reasons why the kiss of even the most
clearly and most friendly pug or ter
rier should be dispensed with. We
have now, thanks to the Vieanese
observer q still stronger argument to
urge against this practice. 1t may, in
deed. like the others, fail to daunt the
too devoted master or mistress. but we

A TRICK that is going the rounds just
now is to measure by the eye the dis.
lance to which you must push away
the central one of three silver dollars
side by side, their circumference
touching. so that the distance from the
lower edge of the central coin, so re-
moved, shall be equal to the distance
apart of the outer edges of the two
other coins. You will probably do as
every one else does, put the coins side
by side and push the middle one up
ward along the table until you think
you have done rash thing by pushing
it so far. When you measure you will
find out. It's an old perversity of the
