ALLIES COMPLETELY PARALYZET). Propelled by Gas. The field of usefulness so long'hela by the horse is narrowing daily. ' A tricycle propelled by a two horse power gas engine is the property of a Califor* nia man, who, having tested it? on the streets under varying Conditions as to grade and roadway, has found it in every instance satisfactory; being easy to control as regards starting, regu­ lating speed, turning, stopping, etc. The machine is calculated to carry three persons on the'single broad seat, though operated by one, with surplus power sufficient to trail one or two buggies or a loaded wagon, according to the character of the road. It car­ ries tweleve hours' supply of gasoline, or two and one-half gallons, and can easily attain a speed of from ten to twelve miles per hour on favorable, ground. Being geared in such a man- ner that the movement of a" lever in-, creases or decreases the speed enables the driver to climb grades of considera­ ble pitch. It is claimed to be perfectly safe and- is simple in construction, the design of the inventor being to have as few pieces and parts as possible. The wheels and frame supporting the en­ gine are strong and the entire machine is constructed in the most substantial manner, as if intended to withstand hard usage. ; - , Highest bf all in Leavening Power.--Latest U. S. Gov't Report Baking Powder PHYSICIANS ARE ASTOUNDED BY A PECULIAR CASE. ^ \&\\w \s \yu\\^ wwrwaWe^ A Young Man stricken withXandry's Paralysis and Yet Recovers. (From the. Times, Philadelphia, Fa.) Stricken with Landry's Paralysis and yet cured! That means but little to the average layman, hut it means a miracle to a physician. Such is the experience of O. B. Dallimore, now a resident of Madison, N. J., and a rare experience it is. "Yes, it is true that I had Landry's Paralysis," said Mr. Dallimore to a re­ porter, "or else the mosjt celebrated phy­ sicians of London were, mistaken. "It Was 'on the ir»th of March, this year," he .continued, "when I was in New York .City, that I first felt the 'symp­ toms of my trouble. 1 experienced diffi­ culty in going up stairs, my legs failing to support me. I consulted a physician, who informed me that I had every symptom of Locomotor Ataxia, but as the case de­ veloped he pronounced it a case of Lan­ dry's Paralysis, and knowing the nature of the disease advised me to start for my home and friends. I gave up my work, and ,pn April 1st started for London, Out. A well-known physician was consulted, but I grew rapidly worse, and on Satur­ day, April 7th, several eminent physi­ cians held a consultatioh'on my case and informed me that I was at death's dbor. having but three to six days to live, still I iingered on, by this time c.unipletely paralyzed, my hands and feet being dead, I could hardly whisper my wants and could only swallow liquids. Oh. the mis­ ery of those moments are beyond all de­ scription and death would really have been a welcome yjsitor. "Now comes the part that has astound­ ed the physicians. Rev.'Mr. Gondy, a clergyman who visited me in my. Inst hours, as he supposed, told me of the marvelous cures of. paralysis that had been performed by Div •Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I started to take the pills about April US, and a week after that felt an improvement in my condition. There was a warm, tingling sensation in the limbs that had been entirely dead, ̂ nd I soon began to move my feet and hands, the improvement continued until May US, When I was takeii out of bed for a drive and drove the horse myself. By the be­ ginning of July Jr was able to walk up­ stairs alone and paid a visit to Niagara. "Slowly but surely I gained my old health and strength, leaving Ontario for New York on Oct. 11, and beginning my work again on Oct. 2(i, 1SS)4; cured of Landry's Paralysis in eight months.'.' To confirm his story beyond all doubt, Mr. Dallimore made the following affi­ davit. Sworn and subscribed before me Dec. 3, 1894. AMOS C. RATHBUN, (Seal.) Notary Public. I)r.

"Can't do that neither; he never had his picture taken." "I am afraid,"then, I must decline." "Decline? What for? Haven't you painted Moses? You didn't have a photograph of hint, did you? No. 1 thought not Well, my father hain't been dead nearly so long as Moses. If you can paint Moses you ought to know enough to paint my father." Appreciating the- sit uat ion , the art­ ist went to work and evolved such a portrait Usi.! he. thought might satisfy so original a son.

"That almost knocks the stuffing out of Moses; but, I say, how he has changed!" • In the Woolly "West.. 11 is related in the' Chap Book that Eugene Field, of Chicago, being asked out to dinner in London, found him­ self seated next to Mrs. Humphry Ward. Mrs. Ward was in a meditative and receptive mood, and said little at first; but about the time the fish came she turned to Mr. Field and said: "Tell me of Chicago, of your habits and cus­ toms. I have never known any one who lived there." Whereupon Mr. Field replied: "Well. Mrs, Ward, when I was caught I was living in a tree." Cleanse Your Blood.. Cleanse the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through your skin >in the form of pimples, eruptions and sores. Cleanse it when you find it obstructed or sluggish in the veins. Cleanse it when it is foul. Your feelings will tell you when: Keep the blood pure--health of the system will surely follow?•' And. remember, whenever your blood needs cleansing, that Hood's Sarsaparilla and only Hood's must be the- medicine em­ ployed. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the most prominent blood purifier in the world to-day--for it is the best. . , Lost One Pair. Thackeray once asked one of the men who lets out skates on the Serpentine- whether he had ever lost a pair through the omission to exact a deposit, and he replied that he had never done so, except on one, occasion, when the cir­ cumstances made it pardonable. A well-dressed young fellow was having his second skate fastened on when he suddenly broke away from the man's hands and dashed on to the ice. The next instant a thick-set, powerful man was clamoring for another pair. "I shall nab liini now," lie cried, "for I am a dab at skating." He-was a sher­ iff's officer in pursuit of his prey, and a very animating sight it was to watch the chase. He was, as he had boasted, a first-rate skater, and it became pres­ ently obvious that he was running down his man. Then tlie young fel­ low determined to run a desperate risk for liberty. The ice, as usual, under the bridge- was marked "danger­ ous," and lie made for it at headlong speed. The ice bent beneath his weight, but he got safely through. The slierifl's officer followed with equal pluck, but, being a heavier man, broke through and was drowned. "His skates." said the narrator of the inci­ dent, "I got back after the inquest, but those the young gentleman had on I never saw again." Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal "enjoyment when rightly used. The many,'who live bet­ ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world's best products to the*needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the fortn most acceptable and pleas­ ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect lax­ ative ; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid­ neys, Liver and Bowels without weak­ ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance..

Sad Case of a Foolish Bride Who Is Dying in Florida*. As a result of what some folks claim is witchcraft, Mrs. W. R. Langford,'a bride of but a few weeks, who lives about twelve miles from Bartow, Fla., is on her deathbed. ' . Some time ago Mrs. Laugford came to Bartow to attend the Normal Institute, hoping to pass her examination and after­ ward get an appointment as school teaeh- er. Mrs. Langford was in high spirits and soon became noted as one of the jol- liest of the NormjAsptudents. One day as she was walking^alone in the suburbs of the town she was accosted by an old woman of the Meg Merrilies type, whom Mrs. Langford had never seen before.

The Russian Prince Uehtomoky, who accompanied the present czar 011 his tour in the East, has written a long communi­ cation to the Moscow Yiedomosti ex­ plaining the threatening features of the situation in the Orient. He declares that Russian intervention is inevitable. It would be criminal neglect, he thinks, if Russia were to allow Japan 'to menace Russia's interests in east Asia, as is con­ templated in the Shimoneseki treaty. He expresses the fear that bloodshed will/be necessary before Japan's aggressive spirit can be checked. He regards the Japanese as intoxicated with the completeness of their victory and determined to force upon the rest of the world a policy which all nations having interests ill east Asia must frustrate, by peaceful means if pos­ sible, but otherwise by the sword. Washington Diplomats Secretive. A Washington dispatch says the report by cable that England and Japan were milking strenuous efforts to secure the co­ operation of the United States to prevent other powers from interfering in the mak­ ing of the treaty of peace between Japan ami China and control certain of its terms, was referred to the Japanese Lega­ tion. Minister Kurino is sick, but ques­ tions as to the truth of the story were answered to the effect that nothing was known of it at the Japanese Legation. If efforts were being made to bring the* United States into the affair 011 the side of Japan they were not being participated in by Minister Kurino. There is high authority for the statement that nothing of the kind had been urged at the State Department by either the English or Jai>- anese diplomats. So far, at least, no in­ vitation to the United States to interfere in any way in the treaty making between China and Japan had come from any source. It was stated emphatically that 110 attitude of interference would be as­ sumed by the United States now or here­ after. 110 matter who issued the invita­ tion or who urged it.

Most ferns have a creep­ ing root stock, or rhizome, as it is tech­ nically called. Roots go down from the apex, as the\new fronds push up. and eventually the under part of the rhi­ zome dies. Ferns of this class may live forever., in a certain sense, though real­ ly 110 part, alive to-day, may have been living ten years ago. But some ferns have been ambitious, and instead of groveling under ground, have learned, as the evolutionists might say. to straighten the rhizome and lift if into the air. Then we have the tree fern, or one with an erect crown at any rate. It is not possible for ferns of this class to live forever. They must eventually die of old age. Beecham's pills are for bil­ iousness, sick headache, diz­ ziness, dyspepsia, bad taste in the mouth, heartburn, tor­ pid liver, foul breath, sallow skin, coated tongue, pimples loss of appetite, etc., when caused by constipation; and constipation is the most fre­ quent cause of all of them. One of the most important things foi everybody to learn is that constipation causes more than half the sickness in the world,especially of women; and it can all be prevented.
