A Miracle in Vermont.
THE WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE OF A WELL-KNOWN CHELSEA MAN. Stricken with an Incurable Disease and yet Cured.
(From the Argus and Patriot, Montpelier, VI.)
Eight years ago Geo. Hutchinson moved from Bradford to Chelsea, Vt., and bought the sawmill at the latter place. He was known as one of the strongest men in that section. On Dec. 20, '92 while at work in the mill, he was struck in the back by a flying board, which seriously injured uim 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 all use of his lower limbs.) The Argus & 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 and less usable. By the loth of April I could do absolutely nothing and was scarcely able to stand. My physicians advised me to go to the Mary Fletcher Hospital at Burlington, ts be treated, and I took their advice. When I left home my friends bade me good-bye, never expecting to see me alive again. The physicians at the hospital told me that my case was a serious one and I was completely discouraged. I remainedat the nospital seven weeks and took the medicines which the doctors gave me. I felt better at the hospital and thought that I was recovering, ana 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 I began to give up hope. August 1st, 1893, I could not get out of my chair without assistance, and if I got down upon the floor, I could not get up alone. About this time I chanced to read an account of the wonderful curative powers of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in cases similar to my own. I did not have anr faith in the Pills but thought a trial oonla do no harm, so I bought some without telling anyone what I was going to do. After I had been taking them some time I found that, for the first time 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 1 continued the medicine I continued to improve, and soon recommenced work in the mill, at first very lightly, and increasing as I was able and as I gained in health ana spirits, and now for the past three months I have been working ten hours per day almost as steadily as I ever did. I feel well, eat well and sleep well as I ever did and I nave no pain anywhere."
The reporter talked with several other gentlemen in regard to the case of Mr. Hnteiiinson, who stated that any statement he might mace would be entitled to entire credence.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to givtt new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., foi 50c. per box, or six boxes for $2.50. W

ON BEHALF OF SPAIN.
SPANISH MINISTER'S BRILLIANT WIFE TALKS WITH FERVOR.
Mme. d« Lom« Is Bitter Agftinit the Cuban Junta—Says That Congress Is Fall of Buncombe—Thinks Every Cuban Patriot Is a Bandit.
Senora Dopoy de Louie, the wife of the Spanish minister, is a ttruly fcefn&rkable woman. ^.
Not alone because' eM i'S handsome in true Castilian fashion. Not only because she is as vivaolous job a dame of Franco.
Bob the eenora once on a time arrange ed an erfterfcainmbnfc In Bueods Ayrfta for charity's duke. Buenos Ayrefc #IU never forget It.
She bleared $9,000. That's Why. That is half as muob again as President Cleveland drew from the monster mass meeting for missions in Oarnegie hall.
The opinions of ahy woman vbo can make half as much again- for charity as the president of the United States are worth having. "Cowards, that's, what they are!" she said of the Cuban junta. 'VWhat, I ask you, are the junta doing safe in this country? Why don't they go and fightP" "B«it they don't dare roDUin to Cuba. Tour Spain would throw thetnintO^jirison. They are exiles. Yoii should plfcy fchem."
And the senora smiles. "Kxiles? Why here is a man," picking up a paper and pointing to an announcement that some man who is Cuban and a "political exllo" will speak on Cuba.
That man robbed—defaulted, is it yon call it? Oh, yps, he's a political exile, But you Americans will not believe the truth about Cuba." "Do not the Spanish authorities In Cuba send every one to prison who trips to investigate?" the correspondent asked. "But these people take letters from the junta and Cubans. What do you expect in that case? And there are writers who take money from Cubans. Why can't you believe that I speak the truth? There aren't over 20,000 bandits under arms. Bandits, that is what they are."* "Aren't they belligerents?" "Why, thoy have no port. They have .)t any town nor a single garrison, nor— nothing have they. They are just bandits. If there are 20,000 of them thora are 1,000,000 or more on the island who sympathize with Spain. I don't believe the president will recognize Cuban independence. The trouble with your congress is they don't know a thing about Cuba. I talk to senators. I toll them things abotit Cuba and Spain. They are surprise. _They say:
Madame, I never knew that. Do you suppose. Mr. Olpoy can know that?'. Mr. Olncy he has a great head* He is a great man. Bunc—buncombe is that what you call it? There's much of buncombe. And that Cabot Lodge. My, but he would have made a fine secretary of state "for the Republican party. "The women and the poor cigar makers down in Florida are running the insurrection. Tho Cuban comes here, and the first thing he does is to ruarfy a rich American girl. Then ho takes it easy and runs tho fight with her money." "Then American marriages are helping Cuba?" "The monoy of the American wites and tho cigar makers in thofaotories in Florida is being used for it. For years when these poor men get paid off Saturday they have sent a oertain part of their earnings to the junta, who carry on the insurrection. And while those poor cigar makers toil tha men who get it live in fine shape in first class hotels. Oh, no they don't go to Cuba to fight. Gompared with them these cigar makers are heroes."
Tho senora here taps her throat with the tips of her fingers and tosses the-hands out with a gesture which a stage director would say expressed admiration of heroic cigar makers. "Why will not the United States under-' stand tho truth?" "Do you roally bellevO that Spain has always troatod Cuba right?" "But those stories are not true. General Weylor is not 'tho butoher.' He has not committed outrago. All tho best people on the island are with us. Thero are 1,500,000 people there. There's about 20,000 against Spain. The negroes number three to every one white man among tljem. Evorybody else is for Spain. There are about 500,000 negroes on the island." "But if it is only bandits, why don't all those Spanish soldiers end things immediately?" "It's like Italy's case. There were a mere handful of bandits infesting the Italian mountains. Brigands they Were.' It took years and cost a big sum of money to exterminate the few dozen Italian brigands." "If Spain again eubduos Cuba, what will she do with the little island anyhow?" 'Little island I' and the voice of tho senora rose with emotion at the adjective "littlOj" "Do you happen to know that Cuba represents in area one-fourth the actual size of Spain, almost, one-fourth of Spain?"
Then the senora's eyes looked misty, as if the mero idea of slicing off one-fourth of Spain was too much to be borne.
It is a pity for Spain's sake that Senora de Lome can't appear before congress in behalf of her country.
And perhaps it is just as well for Cuba Libre that she cannot. The minister's wife told of a Cuban for whom the minister had secured royal favor, the permission to put "purveyor, o! wine to her majesty," or something like that, on a sign over bis Chicago place of business.
He brought lis Wife to call fitr the legation in Washington this winter. The call was returned. -Two days later imagine Senora de Lome's horror to find the wife had been lecturing before a woman's cluJ) in behalf of free Cuba.—'New York World.

Shotting the £jes to See.
Mr. Trovor-Battye and his one comrade on the island of Kolgueff, off the northern coast of BusBla, had sighted a choom (Samoyed hut) and were making toward it wth great eagerness When a heavy fog set tied upon them, and presently as they made their way over the low hills they found themselves unable to agree as to the right direction. Time passed, and they became utterly confused. Still they must find the Samoyeds, and finally Mr. TrevorBattye pulled himself together.
I remembered how one day when it Was very hot I threw a jacket over the bough of a tree where my Creo Indian said we Would pick it up on our return. Wa hunted all that day and the next, lay out that night, and the following evening as we were going nome I remain bored my jacket.
A jacket hanging on a bough in the middle of a pathless forest is no very easy thing to find, but the Cree shut his eyes, remained so for a minuto or two, and then turning half round walked straight away I followed, and at the end of an hour or so we came straight up to the jacket.
This, as I say, I now remembered. Then I shut my eyes and thought. After a moment I oould, as it were, see the choom and so clearly that I knew I could walk up to it.
I opened my eyes. All was fog, dense fog, but, pointing, I said to my companion, "There is the choom straight over there," which was almost the opposite di rection from where we had supposed it to be.
We shouldered our things and marched on, and, sure enough, it was not long before we saw ahead of u,a the dim outline of the choom looming £hVough the fog.— Youth's Companion.
Try It.
Many of you have stereoscopes and know the principle on which they are constructed. They have gone out of fashion .lately, but a little paragraph seen in an English paper states that they are used largely in banket even the Bank of England itself, for detecting counterfeits. The way in which itis done is by taking two notes, one known to be genuine and the other suspected, and, placing them side by side, an expert looks at them through the glass. If they do not match exactly it is known that one is a counterfeit.

The great difference between gowning in France and in most other countries of the world is that the Frenchwoman, whose gowning is her religion, will elect for only the styles and fabrics that individually suit and compliment her. She never puts on a garmont because her neighbor, relative or her best friend looks charming in it, not she. "Know thyself," is her motto, and this is why shb is always and ever a pretty figure in art tio study and her gowning a liberal education to women of other nations, thousands of whom put on what they know is ths latest fashion, whether it is suited to their particular style, figure and surroundings or not, but these points are vital considerations with a Parisienne.
Window Drapery.
In
a pretty room where there are two long, narrow windows With one broad one in the center, all of them coming so near together as to have the appearance of one wide window, a good effect in drapery is gained by hanging at the side windows one curtain eaoh and draping'them-back. In the middle window have
ra:
curtain with very
little fullness and undr&ped hanging flat and straight against the window panes. The curtains in this case need not be of the same material, but of a pleasing contrast. If the outlook is not pleasant, an art muslin or a Madras with many soft colors and threads of gold and silver in It would filter tho light pleasantly.
The Bights of Children.
Every young life has a right to an Intellectual environment. What fresh air Is to the plant the domestic atmosphere is to the child, and in proportion to its overwhelming importance is the emphasis of the obligation. You are obliged to give this strange, new life created by your will the falreet, choiccst setting. Your beet self must be oalled forth, your highest instincts must reveal themselves. The home must bo not alone the shelter of the bod*y, but the cradle of the mind.
Don't Iron Silk.
Silk should never be ironed, as the heat takes all the life from it and makes it papery. The silk may be sponged and then smoothly relied on large wooden rollers that come for the purpose, or if a rotter cannot be obtained spread papers- over the carpet and pin the silk, right side down, to the carpet, drawing it Smooth and firm Let
it remain rfatil
thoroughly-dry.
Sweeping.
Except in oases Wkere it is really necessary, as in brae bing downstair carpetings and dirt out of corners of the room, toe housewife should oat reghire her maid to do much sweeping with the Whisk broom, as tha vest Short handle brings the M|e so near tha oust that & impossible to keep from breathing a great deal of it.
Sunshine Effect.
The effeot of saashiao was gained in a living room that had only a north Mgfct by having tha woodwork painted wi£h white enamel, the upper part of the windows feet with panes ot pale yellow glass, and tha, window* themselves beneath the hong with curtains ci paiIs jrellofr eil
