ALL ADMIT THAT
PARALYSIS

Is the worst OF all diseases to cure or relieve,
as the system is dying by degrees, first the
muscles, then the nerves and tissues, and not
vitality enough exists TO stop toe decline, and
death follows in few days or months.
We have published few from the many hun
dred cases that we have restored to health, who
were suffering from this lingering life, and
none more interesting or chronic than the follow
ing:
The daughter OF Mr. Charles f. Hayden, high
land street, West Roxbury, July. 1888, aged six
had an attack OF Rheumatic Fever, followed by
Spinal Meningitis, ending In Paralysis, with loss
of use of both legs, arms and back. Recovered In
four to five months the use Of all but her right leg
which she has had no control Of since, and has
been in a hospital for treatment two weeks and
discharged with right foot wearing iron shoe,
and straps of iron jonted at the knee, worn night
and day, and walk ed with crutches. Returned in
two weeks to Hospital for an examination of the
full board of surgeons and pronounced incurable
and discharged as such. Since then has been un-
der the medical treatment of nine Of our leading
physicians and specialists, but no relief. Her
leg has stopped growing being not more than "a
to As of the other in diameter, and was lifeless
and cold up to Aug. 1, 1890. Then she COM
menced taking four teaspoons of Murdock's LID
uid Food daily, for two weeks; then took double
the quantity, or four dessert spoonius daily, and
abandoned her iron shoes at night, which had
made a sore on her thigh; after two weeks more,
abandoned the iron shoe day times; two weeks
later abandoned her crutehes for two canes; two
weeks later abandonS d one cane, and now never
carries any in the house or on her walks, but
when playing in the fields carries one TO catch her
self with in case she makes misstep on the I'M
even ground She has gained in weight and
health, now sleeps well and her limb is restored
10 normal health. She walks without lmpiDg
and is as well as children in general, with no ex
haustion or tired feeling from the leg.

TerrorIzed by a Balloon.

An account which recently appeared
in The Noyoe Vremya Of balloon voy.
age from st. Petersburg to point not
far beyond Lake Ladoga conveys a
striking picture Of the benighted con-
dition of the Russian peasantry, even
within a few hundred miles of the
capital. The balloon in question, con-
tanning Col. Pomostzeff and Count
Covanko, descended at place called
Moustoi, in the government of Oletz,
800 versts from st. Petersburg, and this
is what followed;
There was general panic. The
peasants thought the anti-Christ was
descending from the sky, and that the
end of the world was come. Women
screamed. children cried and all the
inhabitants were well nigh out of their
wits from fear. Soon from the wood
came the women who had been gather
ing mushrooms, running as fast as their
legs could carry them. "a house." they
cried, ''has come down from the sky
with wonderful strangers in itr'
The peasants thereupon hid them.
selves in the village as best they could
with the exception of few bold fellows
who took their hatchets and cudgelt
and proceeded cautiously to the forest
1t was long before these latter, who as
sisted to convey the apparatus to thu
village, could prevail upon their fellow
villagers to come out of their hiding
places.
The aeronauts spent the night in thi
village, and in the morning marched
back, the balloon being packed on 1
sledge, because there was not wheeled
vehicle in the place.

Sharp Diamond smuggIers.

lJoWcicIS NdtdlORucsJ
we ara Informed that Jewelry firm
not far from Madison square, on Broad
way, succeeded in getting number OF
diamonds past the customs officials in a
peculiar way.
The diamonds numbered between
eighty and ninety, and we're worth in
tho vicinity of $4,000, as they were all
large stones.
On the invoice they were billed as I'M
itation French jewels of the new nnd.
These diamonds are made of brilliant
pieces of glass highly polished and deity
covered with thin coating of genuine
diamond shavings. These stones are so
expertly made that it is almost impossi-
BILE to detect the imitation even by the
use of strong microscope. The tell
tale feature of the imitation stone is a
roughness around the circular edge at
the widest part of the stone, where the
two layers of the diamond coating join.
This is really the only way that the
imitation can be detected. Emeralds,
pearls and rubies are also made in this
way. 1t is necessary to use micro
scope to detect this roughness about the
edge.
When the consignment of supposed
imitation diamonds arrived the assist
ant appraiser assigned to gauge their
value examined each stone carefully with
powerful microscope, and found that
all of them had the tell tale roughness
on the edges. He accordingly allowed
them to be delivered to the consignees
on payment of the duty based upon a
valuation of 5000. This saved the firm
some 81 200 in duty.
As matter of fact the jewellers knew
the means taken by the custom house
authorities to discover if the stones were
imitation or not, and had filed the edges
of the diamonds before shipment from
the other side, SO that they resembled
the spurious articles

The Color Of Cigars.

One of the most interesting things to
me, being an ex-member of the trade, is
to study the simple little brands on the
ends of the cigar boxes in the tobacco
nists' stores and wonder how many Of
the people who use the contents know
the meaning of the word, "claro," etc.
Nowadays a smoker calls for light,
medium or dark colored cigar as his
fancy dictates. To the dealer, however,
there is nicer and more exact method
of naming the shade. 'Claro," for in
stance, stands for the hghtest shade of
all and is mostly found in the cheaper
grade of twofers. About the palest in
color of the ordinary cigar is the "Colo-
RADIO" Then comes Colorado Maduro,"
next "Maduro," and lastly "Oscuro,"
which is the darkest, heaviest cigar
made. The Colorado Maduro" and
'Maduro" shades are the most sought
for in the best grades of domestic cigars,
while consumers of imported brands run
to "Maduro" and "Oscuro."
1t seems difficult to get really good
imported cigar that is not dark colored.
All of them are strong, and while many
men affect the darkest, high priced
kinds, believe that but few Of them
really enjoy them. AS good cigar as
any man need smoke can now be bought
for ten and fifteen cents. A few experts
may find value and solace in tin foil
covered twenty-five cent weed, but
when anything over quarter is paid it
is money thrown away for ornaments
like tin foil, band, fancy Innings to box,
etc. At present prices of tobacco and
labor a manufacturer can't put a value
of fifty cents in one cigar unless he folds
in twenty-five cents worth of postage
stamps, and yet many people smoke
these extensive sorts

THE CURVATURE OF THE EARTH.
Reasons why 1t Is Impossible for tne
Naked Eve to See the Roundness'
TSt. Louis Republic.


,+eneraIIv speal,I.. we say that the
curvature of the cart, amounts TO about
seven inches TO the statute mile; more
exactly. it is ESQ inches to the mile, or
r 500 inches for a geographical mile
ANY amount of artificial assistance with
optical instruments does not make it
possible for the eye to perceive the least
iota of curvature, even though the gaze
isdirected from the highest eminence.
This is because the vision is not capable
OF comparing heights and distances. The
effect Of the known curvature of the
globe may be illustrated in the following
manner:
Take down your globe, place book,
pane Of glass or even a ruler against IL
either of the two objects first named
being best adapted to such an expert
ment: YOU will observe instantly that
the book or pane only touches in one
point. the globes surface falling away
in all directions from the point of con-
tact
Now suppose the oceans surface to be
calm and frozen, and a sheet of glass
many miles square laid upon it. At one
mile from the place of contact the glass
will stand ont nearly inches this
measurement being upon the ocean, the
mile is nautical one), in fact, will lack
but .036 of an inch of being inches
from the pane; at three miles it will be
feet, at nine miles "a feet and SO on.
The number of feet of depression is equal
to two-thirds of the square of the num-
Der of miles for any observable distance.
The atmosphere plays an important
part in estimating the visibility of OBJ
jects. On this account part CT this de-
preston must be cancelled to make good
the phenomenon of refraction, which
causes objects of all kinds TO appear
higher than they would if there were no
atmosphere. Careful measurements have
shown that the error from refraction
averages more than onc-seventh of that
from curvature. The rule, therefore,
commonly used for correction of cur
vature and refraction is: Square the
number of miles and take four-sevenths
of it for the correction in feet. Thus, if
an object is visible at distance Of five
miles we may know that its height is at
least 148 feet.
Or, if the height of a visible object is
known-say 100 feet-take one-fourth Of
this, multiply by seven and take The
square root of the product (Which gives
the distance of the object, in this i'll
stance fraction of over thirteen miles
man swimming in the ocean can per-
ceive tower 200 feet high and nineteen
miles away as mere speck on the hori-
zon; but if the man were elevated 100
feet above the surface Of the water he
could plainly perceive tower 100 feet
high at distance Of twentv-six rifles
