Gfeidcnberg reported in Yratch the
case of Il soldier who suffered from
total paralysis several times a month
zach attack lasting one or two days.
This condition, according to the
mans report, had existed for ten
years. The lower extremities were
irst attacked, the paralysis creeping
hp through the muscles of the trunk
and upper extremities. The power
returned in an inverse direction, the
upper parts being the first to regain
their normal strength. Westphal re-
ported a similar ease two or three

How Each Nationality Hides its Money.

The peculiaritics of tho people of diff,

rying money formed topic of con-
yersation at Castle Garlcn the other

"Most Of the English immigrants, "
said ono of the money changers, 'carry
their coin in small case in which their
soyereigns or shillings fit snugly, and
have the case attached to chain, which
they keep in n pocket rs the would a

Foreign Potatoes.

The farmers in the Southern States,
according to prominent dealers AMI com
mission merchants, are being sadly vic
timized by unscrupnlous men in the
quality of potatoes they are buying for
seed. Government estimates place tho
domestic yield of potatoes Mt 80. OOO, 900
bushels less than that of last year, while
the yield in England, Scotland and
other exporting countries is estimated
as much larger than that of ordinary
years. As consequence, foreign po;a-
ICES are coming to this market in large
quantities and are being offered ut con
siderably lower figures than domestic
productions. These foreign potatoes
are absolutely valuelcss, SO experts say,
When planted as seed in this country,
and yet it is asserted that they are being
largely sold to Southern farmers for seed.
