Great tilings have been done in Ladoga this week. Miracles apparently have been wrought., possibly, however, in the name of Del/.ebub. A traveling quack has discoursed to crowds of the credulous for the past few nights and tape-worms without limit, either in numbers orextent, have been extracted from long suffering Ladogans. One such a human parasite, 15 feet long, was taken from an unfortunate boy, or rather a fortunate one. Some one lias unkindly said that every boy has a tape-worm, the fact being in evidence in his tremendous appetite. Anticipating the stress of hiird times anil shortness of creature comforts during the coming winter, would it not be well, while this benefactor of his race is with us, to have a holacuust of tape-worms? You surely can "fool some people all the time."
