A Paralytic Cured.
. Grandfather, a Revolutionary Sob
''-flier, and HU Father, Both Died of
Paralysis, Yot the Third /Gener
ation la Cured —The Method.
(From the Herald. Boston, Mass.)
Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky
a stroke of paralysis came to Mr. Frank
T. Ware, the well known Boston auc
tioneer and appraiser, at 235 Washing
ton street. He went to bed one night
about six years ago seemingly In robust
health. When he awoke his left side
was stiffened by the deadening of the
nerves. The Interviewer sought out Mr.
Ware to get the facts. He gave the in
teresting particulars in his own way:
“The first shock came very suddenly
while I was asleep, but it was not last
ing in its effects, and in a few weeks I
was able to be about. A few months
after, when exhausted by work and
drenched with rain I went home in a
very nervous state. The result was a
second and more severe shock, after
which my left arm and leg were prac
tically helpless.
“My grandfather, who was a soldier
in the Revolutionary War, and lost an
arm in the struggle for American inde
pendence, died finally of paralysis. My
father also died of paralysis, although
It was complicated'with-other troubles,
and so I had some knowledge of the fa
tal character of the disease which is he
reditary in our family. After the sec
ond shock I took warning, for, in all
probability, a thir.) would carry me off.
"Almost everything under the sun was
recommended to me and I tried all the
remedies that seemed likely to do any
good, electricity, massage and special
ists, but to no effect.
“The only thing I found that helped
me was Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and I
at .\?cUy.believe that if it hadn’t been for
those pills I would have been dead
years ago.
"Yes, I still have a slight reminder of
the last attack six years ago. My left
arm is not as strong as the other and my
left foot drags a little, as the paralysis
had the effect of deadening the nerves.
But I can still walk a good distance,
talk as easily as ever, and my general
, health is splendid. I am really over sev
enty years old, although 1 am generally
taken to be twenty years younger.
“The Pink Pills keep my blood in good
condition, and I believe that is why I
am so well.
Mr. Ware has every appearance of a
perfectly healthy man, and arrives at
his office promptly at eight o’clock ev
ery morning, although he has reached
?■■■ an age when many men retire from
active life. lie says that in his
opinion both his father and grandfather
could have been saved if Pink Pills had
been obtainable at that time.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple contain all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood
.and restbre shattered nerves. They may
be had of all druggists or direct by mail
from the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y., at BO cents per box,
or six boxes for $2.50.
Wanted a New Trial.
A humerous scene was enacted in the
superior court room at Jackson, Ga., re
cently (according' to the Atlanta Con
stitution). A negro had been charged
with burglarizing a store. Colonel
Watkins defended him, and was about
to open the case with a well prepared
oration of his innocence, when the ne
gro quietly informed the colonel that
he desired to plead guilty. J udge Beck
accordingly read the law in the case
and sentenced the negrj for ten years.
Dumbfounded at this long sentence,
the negro rolled his eyes round and
beckoned Colonel Watkins to come for
ward, and when the lawyer reached his
side, the negro gently whispered: “Say,
Mr. Wadkins, kain’t yer’peal fer anew
trial?”

minster Bridge. The Abbey, towers rose
sharply into the clear air, and caught
the moonlight full upon their heads, but
beneath them, on the farther side, lay
a wide region of silent and mysterious
shadow. In the shadow paced the figure
of a man. By the slow and monotonous
regularity of his footfalls as he passed
backward and forward you might have
taken him for a sentinel on guard. But
to a closer look, the long, high-collared
coat, the quaint and ample outline of
his hat, and a certain balance in his
step betrayed the seafaring man, and
gave a hint of his rank. His figure and
the easy swing of his movements pro
claim him strong, but the obscurity con
cealed all other characteristics.
T WAS A BRIGHT
frosty night toward
the middle of
March. The moon
had risen an hour
ago, and hung like
a round mirror of
burnished silver
close above the
glittering stream
of Thames, as he
swept broadening
down to West
wjj ttuu uuvvii, up auu uuwu, m: yatu,
always the same measured step, al
ways the same distance to a yard. Noth
ing about him spoke of impatience, and
yet he was evidently expecting some
one or something; for each time that
his beat ended at the angle of the north
ern tower he stopped, and looked first
to the right across the deserted square
up to the entrance of Whitehall, and
then to the left, where, on the edge of
St James Park, the lights of Glamor
gan House shone through a few gaunt
and leafless trees.
For this was In 1821, and In 1821 Gla
morgan House was still standing. And
tonight It was especially In evidence,
for the open gates and the unwonted
illumination of the garden court showed
plainly that some festivity wa8 in prep
aration within.
Minute after minute passed, till sud
denly from overhead came the deep
sound of the clock striking the half
hour. At the same instant a carriage
rolled into the square. The watcher had
just turned his back, and was retreat
ing for the fiftieth time toward the
doorway of the Abbey, when the vibra
tion of the chimes ceased, and the sound
of the approaching hoofs and wheels
fell upon his ear. In a moment he was
back at the corner of the building,
where he stood motionless, with his
head thrown forward like a dog strain
ing in the leash.
The carriage passed close before him,
wheeled off to the right, and disap
peared into the court of Glamorgan
House. He made a quick step forward
as if to follow, but checked himself,
and stood for a moment irresolute.
While he was “hesitating, a party of
ladies muffled in opera cloaks and
shawls, and attended by several gentle
men, crossed the road from the en
trance of Dean's Yard, and took the
same direction as the carriage. The fig
ure in the shadow hesitated no longer,
but followed in their wake with long,
resolute strides. He came up with long,
as they reached the portico, and passed
into the cloak room with the gentlemen
of the party. There coat and hat were
laid aside, and he stood revealed as an
officer of the king's navy, wearing a
captain’s epaulettes upon a very stal
wart pair of shoulders.
***= cincicu liUlU umiUDIgd.il-cl
tall, old man with bushy eyebrows and
a jovial red face—stepped in front and
shook him warmly by the hand. Then
putting a big hand upon his shoulder
with a fatherly air, he wheeled him for
ward, and himself turned to face his
wife. “My dear,” he said, with a half
bow, “I present to you Crept. Richard
Estcourt of his majesty’s ship -.
Well, well! Dick, which shall it be, eh?"
His lordship had been a lord of the
admiralty in the last ministry, and
though now for some time out of office,
he retained a perhaps exaggerated idea
of his own influence in naval affairs.
Rady Glamorgan received the young
man with all the graciousness for which
she was deservedly popular. “Capt.
Estcourt,” she said, "is slower to fol
low an advantage on shore than at sea;
his reputation had been here long be
fore him.”
Estcourt flushed. "I have been four
years on the Indian stations,” he said,
“and three before that in America.”
Since he had been almost the first in
the room, it seemed impossible that he
•hould miss the person for whom he
was waiting; but when the stream of
incomers had apparently ceased* and,
Lady Glamorgan found time to leave
the door and look at the dancing, her
eye fell on him at once, still on guard
in his solitary corner. She came toward
him immediately, bent on the hostess’
congenial duty of introduction.
"Capt. Estcourt,” she said, “you are
positively not dancing! A sailor too,
and at a sea lord's ball!”
"Pray do not trouble about me, Lady
Glamorgan.” he replied; "I am in no
hurry to begin.”
“No, no!” she said, “I must find you
some pretty craft at once; I have good
patronage to bestow Just now, and you
may choose between a strong ally or
a rich convoy, both making their first
voyage.”
His grave eyes lit up with a smile in
answer to her playful tone. "New
ships," he said, “are never lucky: I'd
rather have one taken from the en
emy.”
There was an undertone of unex
pressed meaning in the words; she
BY HENRY H&WBOLT
caught it, and looked at him with kind*
ly Interest.
“If you are waiting for some one,”
she said, “of course I will not trouble
you; good fortune to the brave!" and
she left him glowing with mingled con
fusion and gratitude. She was far too
great a lady to be curiobs, but all good
women of her age are very naturally
Interested in a young romance; and It
Is not astonishing that she found time
now and again to glance in Estcourt's
direction.
For a long while he did not change
his position, and she began to fear that
he was doomed to disappointment. But
at last there was a stir near the door,
and she hurried forward to receive the
new guests.
An elderly dowager in green satin,
and a gouty old nobleman In a star and
spectacles hobbled in and paid a brace
of homely compliments. As they passed
on. Lady Glamorgan glariced back
over her shoulder, and saw to- her Bur
prise that Estcourt was coming for
ward through the crowd with a look
of relief upon his face.
"The Milbrlcks?" she asked herself.
“What can the man be thinking of?”
Bdt as he drew nearer she saw that
his eyes Ignored this absurd old couple,
and were fixed intently upon some one
beyond. She turned to the door once
more, just in time to welcome a very
different pair. A gentleman with iron
gray hair and mustaches, wearing a
red ribbon across his plain evening
dress, was piloting a lady through the
throng that blocked the entrance, with
a courtesy and adroitness that con
spicuously distinguished him from all
around.
*auy, w nufver looKea upon j
her turned to look again. She was fully
as tall as her companion, but scarcely
more than half his age; her dark-blue
eyes flashed fearlessly upon all they
met; her lips were red with life and
curved with the pride and laughter of
youth; the slight flush of her marvelous
complexion and the spring of her step
roused the beholder’s pulse in sympathy
with her splendid vitality. Her dress
was of white and gold, scarcely less
brilliant than herself; round her neck,
and on her brow were diamonds, and
she wore them lightly, like a queen.
“Ah!” murmured the countess to her
self, as she came forward, “it is Madame
de Mon taut; a prize taken from the
enemy! I understand, but it is a bold
game for so quiet a man.”
She shook hands with her guests and
retreated a little to watch their meet
ing with this audacious young captain.
It was evident at once that he was al
ready in favor with Col. de Montaut at
any rate; the lady too, after a few mo
ments’ talk between the three, accepted
Estcourt’s arm and continued her pro
gress down the room.
A quadrille was just ending; in an
other moment the dancers would be dis
persing, two and two, In all directions
to the seats and more secluded corners.
Estcourt led his partner across to the
farther door; there she stopped him and
turned to look at the dance. Her eyes
sparkled, and her foot began to beat
time upon the floor.
“Splendid!” she cried; "I long to be
one of them myself!”
His brow contracted slightly. “Don't
you think,” he suggested, a little timid
ly, “that we had better choose our seats
before the rush comes?”
“Oh, no, thank you,” she replied,
laughing. "I shall not need a seat for
a long time yet; we have only Just ar
rived. But perhaps you have been here
longer and are tired of dancing al
ready?”
"I have been here an hour or more,”
he replied, “but I have not been danc
ing.”
"And pray, if I may ask, for what
other purpose did you come so early?”
This directness confused him. "I—I
got here too soon,” he said, “and had
to wait outside by the abbey.”
“Where, of course, you could not
dance?” she interrupted, mischievously.
“And even then I was almost the
first here,” he continued; “and—and_”
"And so you resolved to dance only
with the latest comer, by way, I sup
pose, of striking the balance right?”
He pulled himself together, and made
an effort to play his part in the game.
“Balance or not,” he said, earnestly,
“I resolved to dance only with the lat
est comer, if she should be Madame de
Montaut.”
^inu bij juu snan, sne answered
merrily, as the dancers broke off from
their first figure and made for the door
in pairs; “that is, as soon as these poor
things have rested; in the meantime let
us walk in the empty room till they
come back.”
She took his arm once more, and her
touch seemed to send a tremor through
him from head to foot; they stepped
forward into the great ballroom, hung
with mirrors and gaily colored flags,
and brilliant with a thousand lights
that threw a dazzling sheen upon the
broad expanse of polished floor. She
talked with animation, and he answered
almost mechanically; the intoxication
of pride mounted to his head and
numbed his senses as he made his tri
umphal progress before the eyes of the
elder ladies on the dais, the long line
of dancers sitting out against the walls,
and the herd of solitary men standing,
each with folded arms, at the bottom
of the room. Their whispers reached
him with faint incense, and he scarcely
knew himself for a mortal like the rest.
But now the band struck up again;
the crowd returned, and he found him
self floating with his radiant partner
through the upper heaven of perfect
rhythmic motion. Suddenly, as it
seemed, the music stopped; he mastered
the swimming sensation in his brain
and turned to look at her. Her eyes
beamed back upon his with frank sym
pathy.
“Glorious!” she exclaimed. “What a
pity it must end so soon!”
"So soon?” he stammered, in a sud
den panic; “so soon?”
"We are leaving early to-night."
“But it is only Just 11."
“Then we have but half an hour
more.”
They had left the ballroom and wer«
mounting the stairs In advance of tha
throng. At the top a tiny boudoir of*
fered two chairs, and no more.
“Shall we hoar the music so far
away?" she asked as they entered It.
He was pale and evidently 111 at ease;
he grasped at her question aa at an
unhoped-for opportunity.
"I shall hear your voice," he said,
nervously, “and that is all the muslfi I
desire.”
“What!" she answered, ladghtng,
“wltji my strong French accent, as your
people choose to call It?”
She sat down In the higher and
stralghter of the two chairs, and
opened her fan. Only a low lounging
seat was left for him, and nothing
could have been more uncomfortable
under the circumstances. He fixed
himself upon the extreme edge and was
about to speak, when she broke In be
fore him.
"You don’t look as much at rest aa
you deserve to be after that famous
dance."
He was beginning an answer, des
tined no doubt to end sentimentally,
when she again forstalled him.
“You are not accustomed to the lux
ury of arm chairs at sea?"
He saw that she did not mean to
give him an opening, and tried de
terminedly to make one for himself.
"Forgive me,” he said, disregarding
her question, “but I have something to
say to you."
“And I to you,” she answered readily.
“I have found the pearl you were good
enough to hunt for tha other day.
Where do you suppose It wa-7”
“Madame de Montaut,” he said, with
desperate Irrelevancy, “I have admired
you ever since I first saw you.”
“You can hardly expect a woman to
go quite so far In return,” she replied,
with an affectation of cordial simpli
city; "but I may say truly that there
is no one whose step I prefer to yours.
Come, the next dance must be begin
ning, and I am eager not to lose a
note of it.” And she rose lightly and
shut her fan.
He too stood up, but did not move
toward the door.
"I am sorry," he said; “but what I
have to offer you is more than a dance
—if It be not much less."
Her quick ear caught the sincerity
of his tone and her look changed. "You
are right,” she said, with a serious
grace; “I will hear you.” And she sank
with a soft rustle into the low chair,
which she filled with an air of easy roy
alty.
He remained standing; his hands, as
they grasped the back of the other
chair, were tense with nervous energy,
but hlB throat was dry and his brain
confused; for his life he could not break
from this fatal dumbness and' express
himself.
A gleam of not unkindly merriment
shone in her eyes as she came to the
rescue.
“Capt. Estcourt," she said, "you are
a man whose words mean, at the least,
all they say; since, then, you speak of
admiration, I understand you to offer
me—love.”
“Love? Devotion!" he exclaimed,
with husky fervor, but stopped again
and began to stammer.
“And I suspect,” she continued, “from
your embarrassment, that you have had
thoughts of asking me to marry you.”
“Oh! it is too great a think, I know,”
he broke In earnestly; "It is out of all
reason; but I do not ask it, I entreat
it of you."
She raised herself a little and looked
him gravely in the face.

THE ARCTIC MUSK-OX.
One Big Animal Which Is Not Likely
to Become Extinct.
But there is one large bovine animal
on our continent which Is not destined
to be snuffed out of existence like the
unfortunate bison, and that Is the
musk-ox. He is under the protection
of the forest king, whose game pastures
are seldom penetrated by white poach
ers. On the map of Arctic Amertca
you can put your finger down almost
anywhere, so that it be on land iibrth
of the Great Slave Lake and east of the
Mackenzie river, and say, “There lives
the musk-ox,” without fear of success
ful contradiction. Just beyond the limit
of trees and bushes, even the smallest
and scantiest, on the silent, desolate,
and awful barren grounds northeast of
Great Slave Lake, at 64 degrees north
latitude, the musk-ox draws the line
marking his farthest south. A man who
can endure cold like an Eskimo, travel
like a caribou, live for wdeks on frozen
caribou meat, starve as cheerfully as
a Yellow-Knife Indian, and endure the
companionship of vermin-covered na
tives, can reach the southern border
land of the musk-ox, and possibly get
back alive with two or three skins. Mr.
Warburton Pike, Englishman, can do
and did all these things no longer ago
than 1890; and his book on “The Barren
Grounds of Northern Canada" is a most
interesting and valuable contribution
to our knowledge of that very desolate
country. The musk-ox is perhaps the
rarest, and to white men the most dif
ficult to secure of all our land quadru
peds. Robes are by no means uncom
mon, and often sell for as little as $15
each; but of mounted skins there are in
our country exactly seven. Three of
these constitute a group In the National
Museum; two are in the American
Museum of Natural History In New
York; and the museums of Philadel
phia and Cambridge have one each.
Although during their long sojourns in
high latitudes Gen. Greely and the
members of his expedition party killed
many musk-oxen, you will notice that
they were unable to bring back even
so much as a single horn.
Woumn‘11 Affection.
I have often had occasion to remark
the fortitude with which women sus
tain the most overwhelming reverses of
fortune. Those disasters which break
down the spirit of a man, and prostrats
him in the dust, seem to call forth all
the energies of the softer sex, and give
such intrepidity and elevation to their
character, that at times it approaches
to sublimity. Nothing can be more
touching than to beht d a soft and ten
der female, who had oeen all weakness
and dependence, and alive to every
trivial roughness while treading the
prosperous paths of life, suddenly rising
in mental force to be the comforter
and supporter of her husband under
misfortune, and abiding with unshrink
ing firmness the bitterest blast of ad*
vcrsity.
Everything commenced upon the first
day of the moon is supposed to turn out
successful.
Fraltlm Mlulanrj Effort*.
A great deal of missionary effort has
been expended upon the Chinese in
California, and especially in San Fran
cisco, but it requires a microscope to
discover any real conversions after forty
years of labor. In the way of doing
actual good for the wretched people of
our slums 9100 will accomplish more
than 910,000 spent in trying to change
the Chinese in their Flowery Kingdom
into followers of Christ and heretics to
the doctrines of Confucious. Taking
everything into consideration, it is a
fair question whether there is not a
great waste of Christian effort as well
as of money in these attempts to con
vert Chinese who won't be converted
and whether it would not be more prac
tical as well as more Christian to con
centrate some of this effort and money
upon the heathen at our very doors
who know neither Christ nor Confucius

say, and I tell you that when you all
come into the fullest intelligence you
will find that the three really interest
ing things of life are that human being*
are born, marry and die; that we grow
up in families, have friends, lovers,
husbands, children; that the real fillip
of existence, the stimulating charm,
the ever renewed cordial comes from
these simple elementary facts; that they
occasion the talk, the wit, the fun, the
absurdities, the follies, the heartaches,
which make life worth living.

One Spoon Enough.
A Boston man traveling through the
south was obliged to stop over in a
small town where there was but one
hotel, at which the accommodations
were hardly to be called elaborate.
When the colored waiter brought his
dinner the Boston man found that he
was to have roast beef, stewed toma
toes, corn, peas, potatoes and coffee,
the vegetables served in the usual stone
china canoes. Presently he said to the
waiter: “Dick, pass the spoons ” The
waiter rolled his eyes in genuine amaze
ment: “Spoons, sah! What you want
with the spoons? There’s yo' spoon in
yo’ corn.”

KENNEDY’S
MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURV, MASS.,
Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula
down to a common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of its value, all within twenty miles of
boston. Send postal card for book.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and a perfect cure is war
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same witli the Liver
or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts
being stopped, and always disappears in a
week after taking it. Read the label.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first. *
