This troublesome disease, 80 much in the

cessfully traced for its origin to a vegetable
parasite of q fungoid character. The rem

entirely healthy and vigorous is not liable
to be attacked bysa fungus-decline and de-

THE recent suit of Ira Melandy OF
Bradford, VT, in which he recovered
81, 900 from the town for injuries SUI
fered on the highway, was singular
one in some respects. He claimed that
this accident caused paralysis OF his
legs, so that these were dead so far as
movement and feeling were concerned.
The defendant attempted to prove that
he was shamming. They called in med
ical experts, stuck pins into his legs,
made cuts and applied ammonia and
other to them without making him
vince or contract his muscles. Some OF
the physicians testified that such a
paralysis was an impossibility, but the
jury did not believe thai a man could
have sufficient nerve TO stand such tests
il there was any feeling in the members
experimented upon He will probably
have to 90 through all this again, Is the
case has been appealed.

perceived that even the lnanlmate coulu
speak, while he was dumb; and, with a
sense of his own abasement and incom-
pleteness, he shed bitter tears that soak
ed into his lonely pillow.
With this new chord vibrating in him,
il occurred to Tim that he might chalk
up something behind the shop-door,
where he had formerly made record OF
his tubs and barrels. He was no schol-
ar. and had attended the district school
only a few months in his boyhood. The
teacher rated him a Ounce. He had
never written above two letters in his
life; and it is safe to say that he was q
worse speller than George Washington
But this new life that was throbbing
in him must find vent. He yearned to
ally himself with the vocal and articu-
late side of creation. So he would stand
for half an hour together, with the chalk
in his fingers, his elbows squared, M
busby brows knitted, and the hair rails
ing in a tempest upon his head, trying
to disentagle the confused snarl OF M
impressions and feelings. Sometimes
he painfully traced few lines on thu
wall. which he was careful 10 smear on

words would come, be put down tn
chalk in despair.
