The premonitory symptoms of paraly
sis are: trembling of the bauds; sudden
loss of power in arms or legs, frequently
affecting one whole side of the body; stag
gering; partial or entire inability to use
the fingers; distortion of the features,
Bo---“times an uncontrollable quivering !
of me chin: severe pains; difficulty in
speech. Frequently the first warning is j
a vague feeling of headache, vertigo and !
muscular weakness.
In a recent interview Mr. TV. J. L.
Hayden said : “ I truly think that Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills are a great medi
cine for they cured me when physicians j
and other remedies had failed to give I
me the slightest relief. Too close at
tention to business brought on an attack
of nervousness which finally developed !
into paralysis. There were times w hen :
it was impossible for me to move my
hands or to get up from a chair. At
other times I had partial control of my
limbs, but I was afraid to go far from
the house for fear I might suddenly be
come helpless and have to be carried
home.
“While I was in this miserable con
dition, I was stricken with malarial fever
and confined to bed for four mouths. I
had the best physicians, but while they
relieved my fever, their treatment did
not entirely drive the malaria from niy
system, and they did not help my par
alysis in the least,
“I was well nigh despairing when a
friend persuaded me to try Dr. Williams’
Pink Plls. When I had finished one box
I could see results that encouraged me.
My condition kept steadily improving,
and when I had taken seven boxes I was
cured of paralysis and the malaria was
completely driven out of my system.
For two vears now I have enioved the
best of health and have attended to bus
iness without any interruption.'’
Mr. Hayden's home is at No. 252 West
39th street, New York. Dr. Williams’
Pink Pillshave cured many similar cases
of paralys:s, also 1 icomotor ataxia. They
are sold by all druggists. A treatment
so simple, inexpensive and successful
should be cried by every sufFerer from
partial paralysis in any ol its stages.
The seamy side of sin never shows
up until we have nothing with which
to smooth it down.

Humble Origin of Figures.
“Probably no man was ever more
devoted to or more wrapped up iu
figures than the late General Alonzo
B. Jackman, who devised the only sat
sfactor}' method of squaring the cir
cle,’’ said Professor Elijah Howe.
‘And yet General Jackman admitted
hat the science of figures cuts but a
•ery poor figure in its origin, the term
erm calculation being derived from
he ‘calculus’ or pebbles used by the
Tomans as counters, whose numerals
stolen from the ancient Etruscans,
seem to have been suggested in the
first instance by the five fingers. In
deed, the term ‘digit.’ or finger, ap
plied to any single number sufficiently
indicates the primitive code of count
ing.
“The Roman V is only a rude outline
of the five fingers, or of the outspread
hand narrowing to the wrist, while the
X is a symbol of the two fives or the
two hands crossed.
“In all probability ihe earliest nu
merals did not exceed five, which was
repeated with additions for the higher
numbers. It is a remarkable eoinei
dence that to express six, seven, eight,
the North American aborigines re
peated the five with the addition of
one. two, three, on the same plan as
the Roman VI. VII. VIII."— X. Y.

Smaller Than a Postage Stamp.
The smallest book in the world is
believed to be a Dutch one. entitled
“Bloem Hofje.” or “The Garden of
Flowers,” published in 1647. The
printed page covers a space ten mil
limetres (about half an inch) by six
in era. The area of the entire page,
including the margin, is seventeen
millimetres by eight, and there are
forty-cine pages in th° whole work.
The book is elegantly bound in old
calf, and has a decorated gilt back
and gilt edges. It is illustrated by
well-printed plates, and is closed by
a gold filigree clasp of exquisite
workmanship.
This dwarf volume is in the library
of M. Georges Solomon, of Paris, who
is said to have the best collection of
such tiny books in the world.
In the same collection are no fewer
than six other books, published be
tween 1793 and 1S33—larger than
this, it is true, but nevertheless not
exceeding a postage stamp in area,
and all remarkable for the beautv of
their binding.

You watch with keen emotion
The wat ch curl on th» shore;
You see the white sails flying.
Soft as sweet summer signing.
You hear th*- sea gulls crying
To dtown the wild uproar.
Xo silvery stars to lighten
The gloom that cloaks the night,
Xo gracious moon to brighten
Or clothe with radiant light.
Wan. weary w inds are waging
A whimpering war. and raging.
As if in strife assuaging
Their zest for strenuous light.
Here every tre is shaken
AYith ritful gusts of rain.
Weird, wailing winds will waken.
To sigli and sob in pain.
The water roars and hisses—
Foaming spray from foul abysses.
And stings like sterile kisses.
That sear- the soul and stain.
In this tempestuous weather
Xo bird takes heart to sing.
But huddling close together.
They brood on jocund spring.
AA'hen the sun sheds azure showers
To revive fond frozen flowers.
To hloom in beauty's bowers.
Where rippling rhyme wiil ring.

Like creeping things to die.
Wide rinh' and rough and brawling
The storm tries in the sky.
The waves must first deliver
Then lull trit ule. as the river.

Exulting in his might.
And sulks in eaves disdaining.

As sick of st'-.-ss and straining.
Afar in tin e delight.

That surges through tin gale;
That fierce delight 1 capture
Which makes the weakling quail.

Inland the town is cju’et.

Flattery Won Them All
An autograph collector, smiling. ;
said:
"I have inherited from my maternal
uncle his magnificent collection of
autographs. These autographs did not
cost the old gentleman a cent; yet
they are worth hundreds and hun
dreds of dollars.
■ When the autograph fever seized
my uncle, he set to work in a shrewd
way. Being parsimonious, he did not
want to buy his autographs. Being
clever, he perceived that simple sig
natures. such as you get if you write
and ask an autograph of a person of
distinction, would have no real value.
"So, do you know what he did? To
every distinguished person he applied
to he said he was a sea captain, and
he asked permission to name a new
sh;p he was building after the great
man.
It was subtle flattery, that, eh? All
my uncle’s great folk were, without
exception delighted to think of stately
ship named after them, sailing here
and there over the deep sea. Thomas
Cailyle said:
" T am uleasod that you should like
my work enough to name your ship
after me. and 1 hope she will come to
anchor in a happier haven than I shall
e\er reach.”
"The poet Tennyson wrote my uncle
a four-page letter. He said that in
every storm thereafter he would think
of the Alfred Tennyson, and put up a
prayer for her safety.
"Thackeray was so pleased that he
sent my uncle a comic drawing to
hang in his cabin.
■Robert Browning thanked my un
cle for the compliment of naming the
new ship after him. and hoped the
‘R. F.' would be stancher than her
namesake,
“Uncles collection numbers nearly
a thousand autographs, and each let
ter is about this imaginary new ship.”
Candles by the Carload
“Talk about how the wild and un
conquerable west does business," says
\Y. M. Thompson of Kelly. Maus k
Co.. “I was selling Corliss engines, ma
chinery and other things in th* Black
Hills some time ago and came into the
beautiful Lead and Dead wood region.
“While there I met a traveling sales
man from Omaha or some other point
and he said to me:
“ 'Do you understand the we-1?’
“I replied that I thought I did.
‘ ‘Well, I don’t.’ he ‘•aid. ‘I've just
lost my breath. I went up to Lead and
I had some candles to sell. I called on
Grier of the Homestake mine and told
him I had candles—plenty oi ’em.
“ ‘ -Got samples?” he a.-ked shortly.
1 said I had not, but that 1 .could get
them quick.
.Bring 'em along." he snorted.
j “ i wire;; the house for samples and
: patted myself on the back, thinking
I would pet an order for 10,00* • or
1 possibly 12.000—the biggest order I
1 ever expected to get in the mountain
; country.
'M.v samples same and they were
tip top. I took them up to Grier and
he gave 'em a close inspection,
i .Pretty good lot," he finally sniff
ed. “Send me four car loads."
' “ ‘I looked at him to see if he was
joking. but he wasn't. He never batted
an eye. I was so staggered I walked
ail the way back to Dead wood trying
to get my breath. 1 sent the order in
and the house filled it. filled the great
est single order it ever had; but I
■ changed my mind then and there as
to how the west buys. It gets there

Geyse rs of Great Beauty
One of the wonders of the earth is
the gigantic geyser at Rotorua. New
Zealand, known as “Waimangu.” It
made its appearance about two years
ago and is situated near the one-time
famous pink and white terraces of
Rotomahana. whos3 beauties were
swept completely out of existence in
the terrific eruption of The
crater out of which the geyser issues
is fully half an acre in extent and of
enormous depth. When in eruption
the whole of the gigantic funnel is
filled with a huge column of black,
boiling mud and stones that shoots
in the air to a hight of nearly 1,000
feet, while the cloud of steam which
accompanies it rises in cairn weather i
several thousand feet.
To see it in eruption is said to i
bo the sight of a lifetime. The awful
force manifested by the ejection of
the vast body of water and stones,
the terrific roar or steam and hurling
rocks add to the weird grandeur of
th * phenomenon. Waimangu is really
located in the center of the marvel
ous hot lakes and tliermaT springs
’vglon. Rotorua district, the tourist or
sightseer being conveyed thither in a
few hours by train from Auckland.
Pools and springs of every degree
of heat are to be found in the neigh
borhood. Some are boiling caldrons,
others are spluttering pits of mud and
sulphur, sending up clouds of steam
and sulphurous lutnes. while others
again are of the clearest green or
deepest, pure . blue, beautiful beyond
comparison.
Treat Phthisis at Home
An interesting method for the treat
ment of consumption has been insti
tuted in the new dispensary of the
New York throat, nose and lung hos
pital. Patients who will visit the dis
pensary three times weekly will re
ceive treatment, advice, medicines,
where it is necessary food and clothes,
and will be carefully instructed how to
live hygienically. This will enable
them to remain at home and in many
cases to continue in business. The
treatment, in addition to medical aid,
is as follows:
First, hygienic and dietetic treatment
—The education of the patient. He is
instructed as to his diet—when, how
and what to eat, and how it should be
prepared. He is taught how to breathe.
| sleep, ventilate his rooms, bathe and
j clothe himself day and night and at
various seasons. And, most important
! ci all, he is taught how to protect not
j only others but himself against re
infection by promptly destroying the
I expect orations and maintaining his
home as a modern sanitarium.
Second, the mechanical treatment—
The unfoldment and expansion cf the
lungs by the systematic and regular
use of the pneumatic cabinet. Regula
tion of daily outdoor exercise. Gym
nastic and resipratory exercises to de
velop the muscles of the chest and
shoulders. Hydrotherapy and massage
to promote nutrition.
Prominent New York men and phy
sicians stand back of the philan
thropy.
Statesmen Ever at Odds
That Disraeli wit was too much i
for Gladstone. The great Liberal had
but one adjective for his Tory oppo
nent and that was “devilish." Never
during the year of their opposing lead
ership had the two any social rela
tions; each made light oi the other's
literary efforts. Some one asked Lord
Beaeonsfield to define the difference
between a misfortune and a calamity,
and unhesitatingly it came, “if Mr.
Gladstone should fall into the Thames
it would be a misfortune. If any one
should pull him out it would be a
calamity.”
Th® best of all the Gladstone-D s
raeli stories tells how once at a Lon- !
don dinner party the ladies at the
table were asked which they would
Tarry if they had to marry one or
the other—the great Liberal or the
great Tory. AH declared prompt!}* in j
favor of r^aconsfield save one, who
rather wed Gladstone that she might
elope v*i:h Disraeli and so break her
husband’s heart. This happening was
of course retold to Disaoeli, and so
pleased was he over it that he sus
vended a cabinet debate on the
chances of a Continental war in order
to relate !t—Warwick James Price in
the Criterion.
Benefit in Two Meals a Day.
Persons who are the victims of
chronic con*plaints, and whose diges
tion is slov* and feeble, are often
greatly benented by taking but two
i meals a day, if they are careful to eat
as much in the two meals as would
: ordinarily be composed in three. The
j neuralgic, in particular, w ill do weil
to adopt this course, but the first meal
should be somewhat late and the sec
ond reasonably early.
Respect Your Own Ideas.
On the firm foundation of solid reli
ability originality must erect a struc
ture. To this end you must respect
your own ideas as fully as these of
another. You must accept the ideas
M at come into your own mind with
as much sincerity as you do those of
an Edison or a Rockefeller. Do not
be limited by the achievements of
others. Use their knowledge merely
to push your own.
Origin of tee Maxim Gun.
; Vanity Fair, in the letterpress ac

j should be wasted. Theiefore he put

Men the Most Sensible.
Men, as a rule, have more sensible
ideas and fewer theories in regard to
i the number of meals that should fill
i out the day's fare than have women.
Some one says, with more truth than
j elegance, that "a man eats even
though he is waiting for the uDder
! taker, and he is right.”

Row many women do you know who
are perfectly well and strong*? Me
hear every day the same story over and
oci r again. "Ido r.ot feel well; I aa
&o Lred all the t ime ’. ”
More tlian likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some derangement of the fe
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains. Uatnleney, nerv
ousness, sleeplessne ->s. leucorrhoea.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
heeded a life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. l’i: ' ham s Veg
