the day’s supply notice that a cake is light weight they don’t say any thing, but put it in the refrigerator with as much apparent muscular effect as if it were solid instead of being a hollow delusion. The trouble comes when it is broken up for table use. The thin shell is fractured easily, and out comes a wriggling mass of long black worms as thick as my finger, and anywhere from six inches to a foot long. My Bridget nearly went crazy the first time she saw these horrible creatures, but now we are all used to them. They are harmless and can be tamed and taught many little tricks, and thus they afford endless amusement for the children. They must be kept in a cool place, however, else they die at once. We find just as many of these worms in lake ice as in that taken from the canal, but the latter are the more ferocious and show fight when touched.
