THE WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE OF A WELL-KNOWN CHELSEA MAN

Stricken wlUi an Incurable anil Jfl Cured. {From the Aryus and 1'atriot, Hontpclier,

Eight years ago Geo. Hutchinson moved from Bradford to Chelsea, Vt., and bought the sawmill at the latter place, lie was known as one of the strongest men in that section. On Dec. in,'92 while at work in the mill, he was struck in the back bjr a flying board, which seriously injured him and incapacitated him for work of any kind. As a result of this, Locomotor Ataxia set in, (this is a form of paralysis which deprives the patient of it 1 use of his lower limbs.) The Arguj tV. Patriot interviewed Mr. Hutchinson to-day, aud his story is here given in his own words.
My back ached continually and my legs began'to grow numb and to be less r.ml less usable. By the 15th of April 1 mId do absolutely nothing and was scarcely able to stand. My physicians advised me to go to the Mary Fletcher Hospital at Burlington, to be treated, and I took their advic. Vf hen I left home my friends bade me good-bye, never expecting to see me alive agaiu. The physicians at the hospital told me that my case was a serious one aud I was completely discouraged. 1 remained at. the nospital seven week's ami took the medicines "\rhich the doctors guv-' nie. I felt better at the hospital and thought that I was recovering, and went home to continue their treatment, which I did for two months, and also had an electric battery under their advice. The improvement, however, did not continue and 1 began to give up hope. August 1st, 1893,1 eould not get out of ray chair without assistance, and if 1 got down upon the Moor, I could not get un alone. About this time 1 chanced to read an account of the wonderful curative powers of I)r. William*' Pink Pills for Pale People in cases similii/ to my own. I did not have anv faith in the Pill's •••but thought a trial could do no harm, so 1 bought some without telling anyone what I was going to do. After I had been taking them some time I found that, for the (ir.-t tiiue in months I was able to walk down to the post office, and my neighbors began to discuss the marked improvement in my health.
As I continued the medicine 1 continued to improve, and soon recommenced work in the mill, at first very lightly, and increasing as 1 was able and as 1' gained in health and spirits, and now for the past three months I have been working ten hours
fer
day almost as steadily as I ever did. feel well, eat well and sleep as well as I ever did and I have no pain anywhere.''
The reportertalked with several other gen* tli-men in regard to the case of Mr. ITutehinvn, who staled that any statement he might make would be entitled to entire credence.

Lizards Three Times the SUe of the Lar
gest Elephant aixl a Turtle Whose Shell Looked Like a Hut—Marine Grants and
the Kemarkab'.i J'lated Lizard.
The belief in a race of giants was once almost universal and held until recent years. Even today large skeletons when found are sometimes reported as being those of giant human beings. This was especially true of the period about the tenth and eleventh centuries, and in the latter a most amazing discovery was reported, which threw the scientific world of the time into great excitement. It was said that the body of Pallas, the sou of Evander, had been discovered beneath the tomb of'the emperor Henry III. Tho bones were enormous, and it is unnecessary to state, proved to have belonged to a huge fossil elephant. As late as the fifteenth century a war of words was waged over a find of largo bones, one party claiming that they belonged to the giant Teutobocliue. In 1857 a giant was discovered iu Switzerland. Tho council of Lucerne requosted a learned scientific man, Professor Felix Plater of Basel, to report upon it, and he not only announced the bones as part of a human giant, but made a complete restoration, showing the man 20 l'eet high, which the proud city adopted as tin ancestor in the arms of the commonwealth. The design and some of the bones can still be seen in the college of Jesuits at Lucerne. Unfortunately for the theory and much to the discomfiture of the people who had raised to a high pinnacle this mighty ancestor, it was found to be the remains of an elephant.

The marine giants were even more bizarre aud remarkable than the land forms. If we can imagine tho little iguana lengthened out to 80 feet, its back spines changed to broad finlike objects, we form some idea of the appearance of one of the small dinosaurs, Stegrsaurus ungulatus, one of the most uncanny and remarkable creatures ever found. It is called the plated lizard, and the best skeleton was found on the eastern flank of the Rocky Mountains. Some of the plates with which this armored lizard were protected were two or three feet iu diameter aud the spiues over
LOVE AND ROSES."
A wild rose drank of the morntaR dew, A wild rose smilod at the morning sun, A wild rose dreamed the warm day through,
A wild rose died when tho day was done.
And ever the rose was fafr, was sweet. And ever the rose was shy, But a rose's life, like a dream, is fleet,
And a rose in a day will die.

country were attributed to giants, but iug are not what they used to be. As to
there is no evidence that a human giant ever existed over 8 feet in height, aud it is extremely doubtful if this height was ever attained.
Giants other than human are very common in all branches of the animal kingdom—giants in every sense when compared to their pygmy representatives of today. Some years ago some laborers in the Senalik hills of India were engaged upon a government work when they came upon the remains of a turtle that proved beyond question that these animals had their giants in the days of old. The shell which the men exposed might have been used as a shelter for several men, and at first, before its bony nature was observed, it was thought by the natives to be a hut of some kind. Fortunately the bones were uninjured, and they were taken out and removed to the British museum, where a complete restoration of tho animal may be seen. The length of the turtle was 10 feet, its horizontal circumference 25feet, audits girth 15 feet, but it was estimated by scientists that this was not an adult, and that when fully grown this huge creature would display it domelike back 8 or 9 feet high, giving a total length of 20 feet.
One of the common animals in equatorial South America and in Central America is tho lizard, iguana, which attains a length of 4 or 5 feet and is considered a large lizard, but it was a pygmy when compared to an anecsti that once wandered over England and various portions of the world. A number of years ago some workingmen were excavating and blasting in a quarry near Jlauistone, England, when some bones were uncovered that, caused profound astonishment on the part of tho finders. The skeleton was perfect, and as it was lifted out, bone by bone, their amazement increased, and the news was spread all over tho country, attracting large numbers of people. When the bones were placed in their proper position, they were found to bo tho skeleton of a gigantic lizard that when alive must have been three times as bulky as the largest living elephant aud stood upon its hind legs like a kangaroo, tearing dowu branches from the highest trees. Such an animal was a slow mover and sluggish and must have fallen ail easy prey to the human hunters, if they existed.
Like a rose it died at tho sweet day's clone.
And ever the love was fair, was sweets And evi-r tho love was shy, But the life of love, like a rose, is fleet.
And a lovo iu a day will die. —John N. Billiard in Vanity.
SOME SIGNS OF APPROACHING AGE.
Bow Mail Showed That Uc Was Growing Old Without Knowing It.
A man, apparently slightly past middlo life, whose hair was tinged with gray and noticeably thin on top, sat near me at a theater. As the curtain rose for the first time a spectacled man of about the same age entered and occupied the vacant seat between UB. He looked at the oilier fixedly. The look was exchanger!. and in a second each had the other cordially by the hand. The conversation told that they bad been schoolmates who had not met in many years. "By Jove, Charlie," exclaimed the first, "it does me good to see you. You haveu 't changed much more than I have, and I am net a day older than when we got our diplomas." "I can't quite agree with you, Tom," answered the other, "but I don't feel very old yet. I see you still enjoy the theater, and I suppose you have kept up your literary tastes for the past 30 years.'' "Thirty years!" repeated Tom. "How the years fly! Do you remember how they used to drag? Theaters 1 Well, 1 do go now and then, but tho plays and act-
books, I still read them, but none of the moderu trash. There hasn't been a good book written fur a quarter of a century. The new ones give me the dyspepsia worse thau what I eat. Do you remember the meals we had on the old Vermont farm Those were happy days. Thirty years and more ago I Strange, but I don't show a sign of age. 1 wonder where this confounded draft is coming from. I feel neuralgia on top of my head now.'' "Tom, old boy," replied the other, "you are deceiving yourself, for yon have shown marked signs of approaching age within three minutes. Your belief that theaters and actors have degenerated, that new books are below the standard, that childhood cooking was perfection and that time flies so very fast are all indications that you are on the dowu hill side of life. The slight draft that yon say brngs a tinge of neuralgia to the top of your head, where, I notice, the hair is rather thin, wouldn't have been thought, of UO years ago. Then here you arc in the very front seat of a theater. No use denying the signs, Tom.
We are getting along and must admit what others plainly see."—New York Herald.
Material For Cavalry.
While the United States does not boast of a large standing army, the few regiments of cavalry which have seen service on the plains will not only compare favorably with the mounted men of other nations, but. for the particular kind of work to which thev have been trained tliev are without equals in tho world. We have had no reason to keep them in training, but. if put to the test we could certainly raise a magnificent ayiny in a very short, time. Unlike the early days of the lecent reln-ilion, we wouio have plenty uf horsemen to cail upon.

Whereas, in earlier days, equestrianism was unknown, comparatively speaking, it lias in later days become so general as a means of exercise, recreation and health that old and young are fairly gu :1 riders. The various sports of polo, hunting aud racing have served to stimulate interest in equitation. The military troops formed throughout the country are also factors.
All of these sources would be drawn upon for officers rather than for private soldiers. They do not represent a large number in comparisou with the force uecessary to cope with a foe, but they would certainly prove a valuable nucleus ou which to build.—Rider and Driver.

Striking Olject Lesson In the Ethics ol

Nomenclature.
It was at the Emerald ball, and tho young society reporter sharpened her wits and her pencils, that full and satisfactory description of each costume might be presented. Surrounding her were those most desirous of seeiug their names and gowns in print, and in the crowd stood a shopgirl, gowued iu flimsy pink, cheesecloth of indescribable cnt.
Wheu her turn came for inspection, it was with a hopeless eve that the reporter surveyed tho toilet. Tho artful question, however, was asked, as usual: "And your name and gown?" "Miss Matilda Jenkins, attired in piuk crepou aud diamonds," was the studied and prompt reply. "Pink crepou," wrote the newspaper woman, delighted with the new aud elegaut. iianio for cheesecloth, but her pencil refused to add "and diamonds" until her quick eyes had discovered on the girl's collar a tiny rhinestoue as big as a piuhead. Then "and diamonds" went down in the notebook as proudly as if announcing tiaras and stomachers of unrest lui-ter.
Tho next day all the girls behind a notion counter exclaimed enviously over a well worn newspaper clipping which read, "Miss Matilda Jeukius, attired in pink crepou and diamonds," aud when tho society reporter glanced over the printed words she felt never a pang as /to the accuracy of the information she had given to the public.—New

De Tabley and Ilia Bookfl.
The side on which I was most capable of appreciating Lord do Tabley's gifts as a collector was tho bibliographical. If I am anything of a connoisseur iu this direction, I owe it to his training. His zeal iu the amassing of early editions of the English poets was extreme he was oue of those who thiuk nothing of hanging about, a bookshop at 0 o'clock in the moruiug waiting for the shutters to be takeu down. But his zeal was emineutly accordiug to kuowledge. He valued his first edition for the text's sake, not for the bare fact of rarity. Every book ho bought he read, aud with a critical gusto. A little anecdote may illustrate his spirit as a collector. Iu 1877 ho secured, by a happy accident, a copy of Milton's/''Poems" of 1045, a book which he Mad never met with before. Too eager to wait, for the post, ho seut a messenger round to my house with a note to announce not merely the joyful fact,but—this is the interesting point—a discovery he had made in the volume— namely, that the line in the "Nativity Ode," which in all later editions has run— Orb'il in a rumbuw, and like uiories wearing, origiually stood— The enanuTd arras vf the rainbow wearing, "which," as he said, "is a grand mouthful of sound aud ever so much better than the weak like glories.'

A very attractive ornamental art oi recent introduction is, its stated, the product ion of an imitation bead work on fabrics of various kiuds by means of I what is known as glass powder, or "diamantiue, the result being patterns which present an appearance similar to that exhibited by glass beads on close or open meshed fabrics. The iu?tliod of operation in carrying out this idea is said to be simple—that is, the fabric is coated by means of molding boards with resinous substances, composed of, say, 00 parts of guaiacuin and 30 parts of shellac, dissolved in 100 parts of alcohol, 10 parts of glycerin being added to the solution under continuous stirring.
After the composition has been carefully distributed over the surface of the fabric tlie glass powder is strewn on it ami lirmly pressed by repeated rolling, etc., the glass powder being prepared by tie.rough pulverizing or pounding, and 1'iay be of any or many colors.—New Vork Hun.

HKN they put man iu jail, be cannot follow his natural inclinations. His enjoyment of life is limited. He cannot eat what be wants to—he is limited to a very frugal diet. He is alive to be sure, but life doesn't possess very many advantages.
Mi
ATC not all these things equally true of a dyspeptic? For all of the real enjoyment he gets out of life, he might as well be in jail. He cannot eat what he likes, nor as much of it as he would like. If he transgresses any of the rules of his diet, lit- is punished for it.
He suffers much, gets little sympathy. Dyspepsia starts with indigestion, and may kail to almost anything. Indigestion means a variety
of tilings it shows itself in many ways. At first, perhaps a little heaviness in the stomach, a little sourness, windy belchings and heartburn. Headaches begin to come pretty soon after that, and biliousness and a foul taste in the mouth in the morning. Chronic constipation is almost inevitable, and it is probably the most serious trouble that ever takes hold of a man. Its seeming simplicity is the thing that makes it most dangerous, because it leads to neglect. Constipation means that the body is holding poisonous, impure matter that should be gotten rid of. The poison is being reabsorbed into the blood and the whole body is being filled with it. Impurity in the blood may lead tp almost any disease. There is no telling what may come of it. Constipation is the start of it all. And yet people are careless about it. It is the most serious thing in the world, and the easiest to cure if you go about it right. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. Cure it positively, certainly, infallibly. Cure it so it stays cured. Cure it so you can stop taking medicine.
And that is something that no other remedy in the -.vorld will do.
