PARALYSIS. - From the Press, New York City. llcoria Preslaner of No. 1 Pitt Street, Sew York, who is a real estate agent and collector of rents, caught a "severe cold f arly last spring, which settled upon his kidneys. Soon he began to suffer severe pain in his backbone, sides and chest. His symptoms grew rapidly more alarming, until at last he was as helpless as a child and could scarcely move as he lay on his bed. As Mr. Preslaner is well known in the part of town! where he resides, he had who did all they could many him. to helpsympathizers, Though a native of Berlin, Mr. Preslaner kas lived in this country for forty years, having served the country ofi his adoption three years hard service in the civil by war. He enlisted with the Nineteenth dllinois Infantry, taking part In many battles and marching with General Sherman to the sea. While in Georgia, Mr. Preslaner was promoted to first sergeant for bravery on the field of action. Vile is now a member of Koltes Post, G. A! H., and Is. One of the most popular men in the Post. Mr. Preslaner told a reporter the following story, which, he said, he hoped had everyone who was suffering as he were euffered would read. His words To begin with,1 1 was taken s follows; sick just a year and a month ago, having taken a severe cold which settled on sufmy first I thought the pain I kidneys. , Atsoon! fered would pass away, but, instead f doing this, it grew more intense every fiay, so that in a week I could walk only with considerable difficulty. I called In a doctor, who said I had locomotor ataxia and began treating me for all that disease. He did me no good, and summer long I could scarcely attend to my business at all. Then I called another doctor and took his medicine for several weeks, but experienced no relief, Dr. Truman Nichols, of No. 287 East Broadway, who I St last called in, helped me more than any f the other doctors, but along towari fall I grew worse, despite his treatment. I think Dr. Nichols is a good doctor and un derstood my case, but despite this fact his ' medicines did me no lasting good. . Early in November the little strength I had in my legs left me and I was unable to stand. The pain in my back and sides be- came almost unbearable,- and my limbs .grew cold. An electric battery I bought failed: to help me, and for weeks I felt my self gradually growing weaker until all bog left me. time before this I had read of a wonderful cure a man had received from Dr, W Uliams Pink Pills for Pale People, but was so prejudiced against what I thought was a patent medicine of the usual worthless character that I could not make up my mind to try them. As my pains increased and death seemed coming near,' X thought of what I had read and of the of the man who had been cured. symptoms were precisely the same as mine, and They mt fast, with my wifes earnest entreaty, I aSonsented to try, the Pink Pills. I am now convinced that these pills saved my life. Gradually my strength be-gan to return, the desire to live grew stronger within me. After having takfn three boxes I left my bed. This was early in March. All pain had left me, and that 'terrible dead feeling in my lege had gone way. I was still very weak, but before I had taken the fourth box I was able to get down stairs for a short walk in the epen air. Now I feel as If I had been born again and am as happy as a child. Every pleasant day I take a walk, and am sore that in A month I will be as well as ever. All diseases, such as locomotor ataxia, SSt. Vitus dance, partial paralysis, sciatica, rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous headache, palpitation of the heart, effects of la grippe, pale and sallow complexions, and all forms ef weakness, either In man or woman, dis appear when Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are taken.

In the year 1894 'Co. of De Kalb, the De Kalb Fence 111., doubled the ca- - pacity for producing their lines over 1893, which gave them an output of 30 miles per day. The demand for their goods has been bo great the past season, that in order to be able to supply their trade, they have been compelled ;this year to double the capacity of 1894, which now gives them an output of 40 miles ,per day. This in itself speaks well for their product and merits the attention and Inspection of our readers, and all that are In need of smooth wire fencing of any kind, and it will be to your interest to write for their catalogue which describes in detail their goods, comprising the largest and .most complete lines of smooth wire fencing now produced by any one plant in the country.

IIow to Save Peach Trees. Peaches are grown' in Fremont county where ordinarily they will not thrive by covering the trees with earth in the winter. In order to do this roots are no: allowed to extend on two sides, say the north and south sides of the tree, but are allowed to grow on the east and west sides. Thus when the earth is removed from the tree in the fall, as winter approaches, the tree, can be bent over to the earth and covered with light soil, protecting' it entirely from injury through the winter. In the spring the tree is raised to its natural position and the earth replaced as before about Its roots, Which had not been disturbed. Of course this is a very laborious and expensive method and it can be practiced only on a small scale and at some expense, but It has been done successfully. At points as far north as ifDennot ver the trees may be enveloped, too large and sprawling, in bundles of rye straw, gunny sacks or other material.

Field and Farm. the Fire Going. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, tells this story: A short time ago I attended a preaching service on a plantation near Tuskegee, and the minister two for preached hours, the burden of his discourse being an exhortation to his hearers to get rid of the world and the things of the world. I happened to know the members of his congregation individually, and there was not a person present who owned an acre of land, a mule or a cow. I said to myself, what else is it that he wants these people to give up! He has plenty of religion, but what the wants to be taught is to how apply it to the practical affairs of life. After the service I said to this The Shocking Indiscretion oi a Zulu. The editor of the African Critic tells a good story of his barrister days.. He was retained on one occasion to defend a Zulu, charged with stealing a gold watch from his master. The evidence against the accused was, writes the editor, only circumstantial, and i made the most of It, with the result that lie was discharged without the proverbial stain on his character On the same evening I was sitting on the stoop of the Criterion hotel conversing with Mr. Hugo, the magistrate who had heard the case, when my client of the morning apand asked if he could speak to mo. proached VVithout rising I asked him what he wanted.

Craven, of Hickory Hammock, in the Okefinokee swamp, was here Thursday, and he told of many of his experiences with bears, deer, and wildcats in the swamp. He cultivates twelve acres of rich hammock land, and raises corn, sugar cane and' vegetables. He produces over a thousand pounds of meat every year The farm is not fenced, but, as It i3 surrounded by jungles, it is almost secure from the approach of bears and other wild animals. Mr. Craven Is 75 years old, and he has explored the swamp quite thoroughly during the past fifty years. He killed a bear two weeks ago. Honey flows plentifully in Hickory Hammock, and Mr. Craven sells hides, honey and beeswax in large quantities. Mr. Crav en has a wife, two sons and six daugh ters. His daughters are pretty.' They are good shots with a rifle, and they frequently hunt bears, deer and wildcats 4n the swamp. A large bear chased a hog into Mr. Cravens yard a few weeks ago, and as he was about to seize his prey one of the Craven girls ran into the yard and poked the muzzle of her rifle almost into bruins face. Bruin turned away from the hog and sprang toward Miss Craven. The plucky young lady did not give the bear a chance to hug her, but sent a ball through his heart. The bear fell at her feet and died.

From the Philadelphia Record: About five years ago there came to Cramps shipyard a stray terrier dog, who, by his friendly ways, soon made himself welcome about the watchmans box at the main entrance gate on Ball street and among the menworklng just Inside the gates. Watchman Stafford named him Charley, and saw to his getting food. One day Charley had the misfortune to get one of his feet crushed under a car on Beach street, and Policeman Gillen, of the Eleventh district, who does duty about there, bandaged the wounded foot and cared for it until it got well. Ever nce thed Charley hails his benefactor with demonstrations of joy whenever he comes around, barking and rubbing up against him as a mark of friendship. When the Brooklyn was launched last week Policeman Gillen was in line with the men of his district in the yard, and Charley went in search of him. When he found his friend he gave vent to his joy to such an extent as to draw attention from the thousands of people standing around. Dr. ! Ever, rcrfil train, ment fully STEEL WEB PICKET FENCE.

A recent copy of the Pacific coast War Cry had a picture of a lifeboat full of soldiers, on a rough and glaring green sea; and all around the water was full of drowning sinners. In the bow of the boat sat General Booth,, reaching out and taking the hand of one of these struggling unfortunates to pull him Into the boat. Our little Willie picked up the paper, studied the picture a moment, and then exclaimed: Is grandpa trying to get that feller Into the boat or Is he Just shaking hands with him? The child in his simplicity hit a very important nail on the head. Rescuing men is more than shaking hands with sinners; it is pulling them out. Twenty Feet from Tip to Tip of Wings The From the Philadelphia Press: Danish steamship Horsa, Capt. Weborg, which arrived here yesterday from Port Antonio, Jamaica, with a cargo of bananas, has on hoard a most curious sea bird, which was captured at sea several days ago while the ship was weathering a severe gale, midway between the east end of Cuba and Fortune island. The bird, which is called by the sailors a sea eagle, lit on the foremast head early in the morning exhausted, and was captured with little difficulty and penned up In a chicken coop. Since It has been in captivity it has refused to eat, and the officers mean to have It stuffed. The bird measures from tip to tip of its wings twenty feet, and Is covered with rare plumage. It Is very fierce and seems to he unable to stand the cool weather. , 1 1 A Child Enjoy The pleasant flavor, gentle action and soothing effects of Syrup of Figs, when in need of a laxative, and if the father or mother be costive or, bilious, the most gratifying results follow its use ; so that it is the best family remedy known, and every W family should have a bottle on hand.
