 by Newspaper Paragraph.


 by Newspaper Paragraph. [Boston Herald
 How are Americans liked in Eng land?"
 And Mir. B. F. Larrabee, of F Chos ter Square, ex-director of the New Yorl and Boston Dispatch Express Company who has recently returned from a con siderable residence in London, an swered: "If they have good recommen datlons and behave themselves they ar, well treated; but they will like the Eng lish people, any way, when acquaintanc, ripens into confidence"
 "HOw do the English compare will Americans?r
 The finest looking men in the world can be seen on pleasant days of the Lon don season, prOmenadmg Piccadilly The English ladies, however. are neither so neat ln appearance nor so graceful O. form and movement as the Americans but they seem to enjoy more robust health"
 Are English people longer lived than our people?'
 "l don't know. I have not fully in. Nestigated. But l remember once hear. ing read a newspaper paragraph enti- tied Why do Englishmen live longer than AmericansY That paracrapb, by the way, once solved a great mystery for me-"
 "Ah, indeed, another tribute to the power Of the pressE" suggested the re. porter.
 "1es, 1T you so please to call 1t. In IoiJ, when was residing at the Com monWealth hotel, m this city, had Cc- casion to do some business III Washing ton street. When got to the corner of Franklin seemed to feel blow in the breast and fell to the pavement like a dead man. When recovered conscious ness l was taken ;o my hotel. I first thought perhaps some enemy had struck me, but my physicians assured he tha, such could not be the case and advised strictest quiet. For six long week, I was unable to lie down. I was violently Ill, and my phys.cIans said would prob ably never walk the streets of Bostol. again. l did hot want to die. but who can expect tO hye when all doctors say he cannot" And Mr. Larrabee smiled, sarcastically, ana expressed himsely very freely concerning the number of com mon disorders which are controlled by remedies which physicians VIII not em- ploy.
 But how about that paragraph"
 "1es, yes. When 1 was obliged to sit up ln bed day and night for fear If suffOcation, and hourly expected death. my nurse begged the privilege Of read ing that paragraph to me. l refused htVa lf fret lsrN I. .N. crlbed my condition SD exactly. that for the first time l began to realize what had prostrated me. 1 was filled with a strange hope. I at once dismissed my physicIan5 and immedia;Cly began Warmers sale cure. In few months. I was restored to perfect health, notwith- standing mine was one of ihe worst possible cases of brght's disease of the kidneys, which all my physiciaus,- and l had the best specialists in Boston, said was incurable. 1 tell you when a man gets into the desperats condition was in, he doesn't forget what rescues him.
 "But were the effects permanently
 That was five years ago." said Mir Larrabee, "and for thirty years I have not been so well as during the past five years. If had known what do now, I would have checked the matter long ago, for It was in my system for years. revealing itself in my blood, by frequent attacks of chills, iaundice, vertigo, typhoid fever, nervousness, wakefui nights, etc, etc. 1 took over forty bottles before I got up and over one hundred aud fifty before I was well. l have commended that treatment in thousands of cases of general debility, kidney and liver disorder, etc, and have never heard ill concerning 1t. l bank on it"
 Speaking of paragraphs, how do English papers compare with American, in this particularY
 "Well, they have fewer witty para graphs, but the smaller papers, like the Pail Mall Gazette, St. James Gazette, and Truth, abound in sharp, incisIve paragraphs without wit. In general, American papers make the most of news, the London papers make the most of opinion"
