The Weltzol family father, niotlier and four children are still at Trinity Hospital, on Variek street, suffering with trichinosis. They are all very ill. and at least two members of the family are not expected to recover. On Thanksgiving they gave a birthday par ty at their residence. No. 78 King street. Mrs. Woltzel boiled a ham, and the meat was made up into sandwiches and eaten by most of the thirty people pres ent. The next day some of tlnnc who had eaten the ham wore taken with vio lent purging and vomiting; others be came sick on the fourth day. and one not until the eighth day. The symp toms were the same in each case great pain in the region of tint stomach and bowels, accompanied by vomiting end purging. Doctors went called in and they pronounced the di.eae trichinosis. None of these have died and several have almost entirely recovered. Tlio.se who were taken sick fir.st sutlered the least, while those in whom the disease did not make itself manifest until the fourth day are still very ill. .Seventeen persons in all were attacked. Of these eight are in the hospitals, seven at Trin ity and one at the New York Hospital. The disease is very rare in this coun try. In some parts of Germany the people are in the habit of eating raw pork, chopping it up line and making it into a sort, of salad with spices. There trichinosis is not uncommon. In other parts of Germain' the suggestion that a sick person is suffering with the disease is taken as itn insult. Trichinosis is caused by eating pork in which trichina) exist, and which has not been suflicient ly cooked. The meat must be subjected to a temperature of at least 150 all through to kill tho parasite. The trichina is a little white worm or "wiggler," so small that it can not be seen with the naked eye, and is suppos ed to originate in the rat, though some medical authorities hold that it is also natural to the hog. However that may be, hogs got tho disease, and their Hesh becomes filled with these parasites. So tenacious to life are the trieltinte that they live and flourish so long as tho pork is preserved from decomposition. A ham, for instance, which has been smoked too huridly and not subjected to ti suflicient heat, will preserve them for months. Other animals may be im pregnated with the disease by taking into the stomach meat in which the trichina' exist, and it is Indicvcd that it is in this way that it is conveyed from the rat to the hog. The development of trichinosis in tho human body furnishes an interesting study, owing to its rarity in this coun try, and the cases now in tho hospital are being carefully watched by medical experts. There are several kinds of trichina! known to exist, but tho particu lar parasite in question is usually found coiled like a snake; hence its full name of trichina; spiralis. There aro male and female of these and tlic young are born alive, not being hatched from eggs its is the case with most parasites. The trichimu being taken into the human stomach in insufficiently cooked pork, the meat is digested, leaving the parasites at liberty. They then grow rapidly until they attain a length of from one-sixteenth to one-eighth of an inch, and within three or four days begin to reproduce, each female giving birth to thousands of young. The young trichina) atttain their full growtli in about seven days, after which they bore through tho small intestines in which they aro born and lodge them selves in the nearest muscles, whence they spread in time to till tho muscles of tho body. They find their way into the small muscles of tho ear, impairing tho hearing or into tho muscles of tho eye, until tho patient is compelled to hold that organ in ono position to escape pain. They lill tho muscles of tho arras and legs until tho least tension or move ment causes torture, and tho patient lies with his legs and arms drawn up to relax the muscles of the heart, but they arc frequently found in the muscu lar tissue of tho lungs, where they cause bronchitis. Tho fatal termination of the discaso is usually tho result of bronchitis brought about in this way, or of parasites boring their way through tho muscles of tho entire body. When they begin to propagate in tho stomach or intestines irritation and in flammation follow, causing the vomit ing and purging, and this continues, accompanied by intense pain in the abdomen, so long as thoy remain there. If taken in time they may bo driven out by powerful emetics and purgatives, but this must bo done within a day or two. Glycerine, or a solution of car bolic acid in glycerine, given in caj sulcs, is considered a succcsful remedy at this stago of tho disease. Tho trichina) propagate only in the intes tines. If not driven out or destroyed there they soon bore, through- into the nuncios of the hack, and it is here tnat the first muscular pains are felt. Hav ing once entered the muscles they are beyond the reach of medical skill, and any attempt to destroy them would be more likely to kill the" patient instead. All that can be done is to relievo tho patient, leaving the disease to run its course. After six or eight weeks of this bur rowing tho trichina dies, and a little capsule forms about it much like a cacoon about a caterpillar. This is at first a soft, membaneous sack, but afterward changes to a chalky cyst. Doctors sometimes find these cysts while dissecting, showing that the persons had trichinosis and recovered. Dr. Clias. K. Hackley, of No. Gil West Thirty-sixth street, is treating the Weltzel family and carefully wateh injr each stage of the disease. Tho patients were taken to tho hospital last Tuesday, which was over two wfoks after they had been taken sick. The trichina,- had by that time entered tho muscles and were beyond the reach of medicines. Under these circum stances the doctor lias confined his treatment entirely to the use of opiates and to reducing the fever. Sleepless ness is one of the most marked symp toms, and opiates aro therefore neces sary. This sleeplessness is accompan ied by high fever and pain, the mus cles being swollen and tender to tiio slightest touch. In most cases tho temperature reaches 105 s. To reduce the fever Dr. Hackley is using a new remedy, anti-pyrine, a product of coal oil, which so far lias proved very suc cessful. This is given internally. On Friday last the doctor cut from the arm of one of the patients it piece of muscular tissue about tho size of a pin's head, and, upon subjecting it to a microscoping examination, found a female trichina contained therein, tints proving that the diagnosis already giv en is correct. He declined last night to state which members of tho family were not likely to recover, its they would bo certain to hear of it and tho knowledge might have a bad cfl'ect. The fever and pain, he says, will un doubtedly continue until tho trichina) becomes encysted or death relieves the sufferers. New York World. Fear in a Dissecting Room. "Doctor, does it not sicken the stud ents, or do they not loose all feeling and veneration for tho dead?" "Some may sicken for a while, but they gradually grow accustomed to it, and thou they give it its little thought as yon in your daily avocation. I have seen tilings in a dissecting room that have mode me tremble, case-hardened as I am. In my second year of student life, one evening we were all in tho dissecting room, waiting for tho demonstrator to call our numbers, apportion us in squads of four or five around the room. There wore some twenty bodies lying on the tables; some were covered and others were not ; there were white and black, male and female, old and young. We were as signed to one of tho covered tables, ami drew lots for choice of position. 1 chose the head, and then we uncovered tho body; it was that of a girl not more than 17, anil she could not have been dead more than a week. Her long blonde hair was clean and in two braids, tied witli light blue ribbon. She must have been handled very gently, for the ghouls' hook had left no mark on her fair white skin, and tho ribbons in her hair were another proof of that. Tho boys all paused, I saw a silk band on her neck, and on touching it found a locket, which I opened. In it was an old lady's sweet face, which seemed to chide me with her kindly eyes. On the other side was tho inscription: 'May God so deal with them as they deal with you, my child. Motiiki-.' "Well, we did not dissect that night. Nor was that body dissected in our col lege."

A fow weeks ago a young lead er in society returned from England and tho next day she surprised her friends by appearing on tho street with a cane. It wasn't tho ordinary dude cane, but a nice little stick with a shep herd's crook of hammered silver. Some times sho swung it and at otlior times she struck tho ground with a sharp rap. There is no question that this created a sensation, but there is a great deal of difference of opinion as to whether the craze will strike in or not. So fur not more than half a dozen girls have mustered up courage enough to appear on tho street with canes. Tho proba bilities are that tho erazo will not ex tend to that point where it will serious ly interfero with the ordinary every-day happinsss of the modern dude.

Clever Work Which They Do In This nnd Other I'IUoh Where ii tnn Would Pull. The manager of a well-known detec tive agency was asked yesterday by n reporter for tho Matt and F.rprcss if lie ever employed women to do any work and whether they made good detectives. He said lie had occasionally employed women. The reporter found a women's detective agency, located down town. It is managed by a woman who hits boon in the detective business for about twelve years. She is well known to many lawyers and her reputation for firsl-o1as work is excellent. She is of middle age. of rather stout build, and has a pleasant, attractive face. She was dressed in black. "I called to get a reply from you to tho intimation that women do not amount to much as detectives." said the reporter to her. "I have no reply to make," she said. "I do not sock notoriety of any kind. I do my work as well and as carefully as I know how, and my customers ap pear to be satisfied. 1 have done work for sonic of tho best known lawyers of this city and have had somo important, cases, but it would be unprofessional for me to tell you about them. 1 am not afraid to take hold of any work in my line, and have done most all kinds .of it except that connected with divorce cases; such kind of work I will have nothing to do with. Do 1 employ wo men to act as detectives? Yes. several; though as a rule I do the most of it my self. When you want work done most to your own satisfaction you must do it yourself. To-day there was a man in court who wits arrested through the work of this office, and I have an im portant case on hand of which I shall bo glad to give you particulars tit tho proper time, but more than this I do not care to tell vott about my work or my self. "Tho woman whom 1 will speak of had an important case that involved the finding of a mother and her child who had gone West. The parties who want ed to lind the woman and child employ ed her to discover their whereabouts. It was very necessary to learn this in astiit that was pending. The oppo nents to the suit know where they had gone to and had sis their counsel to of the leading lawyers of Brooklyn. Tho woman detective decided to take the bull by the horns, as the saying is. She ar rayed herself in deep mourning and called on ono of theso lawyers, repre senting herself as tho widowed sister of the woman who had left for parts un known. She told them that she had important papers to send to her sister, and talked .so plausibly to the counselor that he gave tho whole filing away, tell ing her the place to which tho woman and child had gono and all about his side of tho case. No sooner had our detective got out of sight of this law yer's ollico than she started in all haste to find tho woman, not oven going home to change her apparel, Sho sent a telegram to her husband that sho was obliged to go out of town and started for Indiana (I believe that was tho State) on the very next train. Sho found tho woman and child in tho place she went to and tints accomplished her titsk most successfully. Another bright operation of hers was in obtaining information from or about a household which could only be obtained by a person inside tho house. Sho nlfected the Irish brogtio and made application at tho liouso to bo engaged its cook. Her services as such were accepted and she remained in tho household several days, long enough to obtain all tho information that was de sired. Then she quit, tolling tho people that sho found the work to hard for her. -New York Mail and Express. Somewhat Indefinite. "Have any troops pasted this way?" said an ofllcer who headed the pursuit, as ho rodo up to a cabin in tho South during tho war. and addressed a sharp nosed woman who stood in tho door way, with her jaws tied up. "No," said tho woman, in a painful drawl; "I ain't soon no sech. Whu' bo you tins goin'?" "You don't mean to say that you haven't seen any soldiers going this way?" "Oh, yes, I've seen sogers, and quito a passol of 'om too. They went by rcnl peart. I reckon you tins ain't got no doctor along with ye, have yo? I'm jest about ready to drop with juinpln' toothache" "Yes, there's two or three surgeoiiH coming tip in tho rear." "In tho which?" "In tho rear." "What's that?" Tho tail end of tho column." 'Well, now, for the land's sake! And bo thcyridln' back'ards?" "WboP" Turpi' doctors.' "Of course not; but how many regi ments did jou say went by?" "Where be them doctors anyhow, mister? I've got to git this 'ere tooth yanked out mighty sudden now, or I'll go lioppin' crazy. "I told you they How tnanv soldiers were in tho rear, do von think there werer ,9" "1 reckon there ain't no flag nor notliin' on it. is they?" "On what?" "On that kerridge." "What carriage?" "'flic ono yo said them doctor pus sons was in." "I didn't say they were in a carriage. 1 said they were in the rear." "Well, now, see here, mister; what kind of a waggin is that now? 1 wouldn't miss 'em for a mess of greens, for I jest must git this tootli jerked dreadful soon, or I'll lose, all the sense I ever had. Is them doctor people got unicorns on, or do they just wobble around in common duds?" "Yes, they aro in uniform, and mounted, but " "And which?" "Mounted." "What's them?" "Good heavens, woman! Won't you never stop and answer a question or two for me?" "Mister, 1 jest cain't do it till I feel cold iron aginst this tooth. Couldn't yo gallop yer critter to one of them doctors, and fetch him along in a good peart hurry with his pulleys?" "No, my good woman, 1 can't be de layed, but if you will tell mo what I want to know, I'll send a man to find a surgeon for you. Now tell me how many soldiers have gone by?" "La. sakes, mister. 1 didn't count 'em, but that' was quite a heap of 'em. I reckon they ain't ntoro'n about two looks and a leap or so from here now. By joggin' yer critter middlin' lively .1 reckon yo niought soon overtake 'cm and sco for ycrsolf." "Did they have any artilery?" "I didn't sec no signs of sceli, but 1 don't know jest what they had in their kivcred waggins." "They had cavolry, didn't they?" "Not as I noticed, but my tootli was distractin' me so't I reckon niebbe 1 didn't seo everything." "How many men do you think they had?" "Pshaw, now, mister, I didn't count, 'em, I tell ye. My tooth was a jiunpin so jest then I couldn't a begun to doit, but thai- was quite a powerful sight of 'em. Fust thar was a walkin' kunipny, and then a cannin kunipny, and then along kini a kunipny on critters. 1 reckon yo couldn't spare a body enough eofl'eo for a mess or so, could yo?"--Ligc Jlrown in Chicago Ledger. The Death of Alphonso. Queen Christina lias given proof of unusual fortitude in theso trying mo ments. She closed her husband's eyes with lier own hands, and with the as sistance of t ho physician performed tho last sad offices so often left to strangers, and then, after wrapping tho dead body in its winding sheet, she covered it and the IhmI with a profusion of flowers, and kneeling beside it retnaijieil in constant prayer until tho arrival of tho baby princesses, who had been sent for litu ridly, with tho vain hope that thoy would arrive in time to seo the King alive. When thoy wcro brought in the Queen took them in her arms and held them tip, so that they could seo him, but tho little ones, accustomed to an immouso deal of romping with their boy father, who would piny with them for hours, seemed much disappointed at linding him asleep, ami after asking why there wcro so many llowers on his bed, quietly climbed down from their mother's lap and left tho room on tip too. It was then that tho Queen first lost all self-control. Madrid Cor. New York J'ost. Senate Furniture. The senate is rather luxurious in tho lino of furniture. Of course the country likes to have the members of the senate made conifortablo, and tho senators evidently intend thoy shall bo, for thoy lay aside $10,000 of tho people's money for furniture alone. Tho furniture can not bo in very bad condition for it had $7,000 expended upon it last year. In prder Unit tho great and general publio shall havo the benefit of tho printed elo quence of tho senators, $2,600 is appro priated for tho mora matter of folding their speeches.

How Coolted Itefore Tour ICyeft, nnd I'.nten hy tho Thouwind. 'Revolutions sweep o'er earth like troubled visions o'er tho brow ofdrcam ng sorrow," writes a man of geniu?. This is poetical. There in nothing poetical, however, in tho revolution which tho writer proposos to discuss, l'licro is no poesy attaching to tho pan rake either in contemplation thereof, in contact, therewith, or in its mastica iion or digestion. Tito pancake lias figured in poems, but is not in itself poetic. It lias also lwen known to lig lro in domestic broils, although broii ng is out of its line. It is generally baked. But the pancake of to-day is lot tho pancake of a decade ago. There tas been a revolution in tho manufac ture and consumption of tho suculent lapjack. Everybody remembers the lld-timo pancake. It was prepared aiystcriously below stuirs, and tho diner it cafes and lunch rooms didn't know whether it was whittled out or cast in a iiold. Tho latter-day idea, however, throws ill the light possiblo upon tho prepara ion of tho pancake. At nearly every cstaurant window tho familiar figure )f a white jacketed, white aproned and vliite cappetl cake baker is seen facing lis griddle with his pancake turner in lis hand, and watching with eyes of a lonnoissour tho sizzling circles of white latter. This idea of baking your pan Mikes before your very eyes grew up in ;lio last few years. The first griddle mt in a restaurant window, ns this his torian is informed, was located m a '"lark street bakery lunch room, near Vdatns street. It attracted largo audi jnces throughout the day, and it was icccssary to install a colored gentleman ls engineer of this apparatus in order to lido Ids blushes at the attention which le attracted. Rival caterers were not slow to ac cnowlcdgo tho popularity of tho ven ture. It pleased tho public. For it ibolishcd secrecy. It showed that tho itmost cleanliness was observed in tho linking of cakes, and tho celerity with, which an order was filled wius also grati fying. So tlie gas heated griddlo made ts appearance all round town, and the lining publio commenced to eat cakes it noon and at night as well as in tho morninsr. Tho original griddlo soon bc jtuno inadequate, and another was rig fed and manned in tho establishment .yhero t ho griddles aro now only equal jo tho demand made upon them. This lias been the history of tho pan ;ake in all tho cafes ami lunch-rooms ibont town. Where one order was giv 5ti tliroo or four years ago fully two iiundred aro now prepared. This seems ahetioincnal, but it is vouched for by a restaurateur who knows whereof ho ipoaks, and whoso jingling money-bags jertify that his remarks aro worthy of ;ho fullest credence. His namo is II. II. Kolilsaat. In four lunch-rooms man lged by himself and his brother in tho business district, a rough estimate puts ,lio number of cake orders lillctl in a day it 1,000, which mako the number of rakes baked nearly five thousand. Buck wheat leads in popularity, with wheat, 3orn nnd rice cakes following m tho or ilor named. Somo of tho lunch-rooms influcnca ninsciilinity in favor of cakes by placing before their customers a potlto little fe male liguro, prettily dressed and of sur passing good looks, as tho wlolder of tho baton at tho griddlo. Tho protticr tho trjrl the better the cakes taste, of course, and her nimblo fingers are kept constantly busy in filling orders for "pinto of wheats," or "ono of buck wheats, and havo 'em well done," as showered upon her by tho hurrying waiters. The first institution to do any cooking fn the sauio room with tlioir patrons was a well-known oyster hottso in tho neigh borhood of Clark aud Madison streets. Hero all orders woro filled in tho room, In plain sight of guests. It was an in novation and didn't particularly recom mend itself to restaurant men, who wcro slow to tako it up. It Involved too much cleanliness and caro.for ap pearances. But it caught tho public, uid others adopted it. Then followed the window panciko-baklng scheme, tlitl growth of which litis been extraordinary. It is hardly necessary that tho largely increased consumption of pancakes has thoroughly exploded tho long-chorislied idea that this nrtiolo of food was un hcnlthful and deranging to tho digestive organs.
