The Maltese Is Unusually Bright,
Good Natured and Robust.
From Demorest's Magazine.


From Demorest's Magazine.
From England, where cats have ever
been held in high esteem, and the CRYSTAL
Palace Cat Show has been for years a
feature of the autumn season, the fancy
for the Maltese has come to New York.
Angoras and Persians are well On their
way, and perhaps excel all domestieated
felines in point Of mere good looks: but
they are delicate creatures, with less

MlstreSseS who desire for their nets a
unique ornamentation have one Of the
cats ears bored and gold or silver but

iers put little pain IN the process, since the
mole bored Is not larger than that made
by needle, and the button Is the thin
nest disk OF silver, inscribed with Tab
Dy owners initials. The special charms
OF the Maltese consist in its unusual INTEL

One Of the reasons for the Introduction
Of cats into general feminine society is due
TO the kindly offices of a learned lady
Psychologist. Cats, she avows, have no
connection with spinsterhood, since cats
have been found in the tomb Of an Egyp-
tan princess who enjoyed the companion-
ship, in succession, of six husbands; and
eight well-beloved sacred cats were buried
with her A load OF anxiety has thereby
been removed from feminine minds, and
one can now cherish cat friendships with
out the fear OF endangering matrimonial
chances.

From the New York Tlmes.

From the New York Times.
Justice Taintor, in the Jefferson Mar
ket court yesterday, decided the Fisher
abandonment case. which gave him so
much trouble on Sunday. Fisher is a we'll
known criminal, being an expert pick

Gallery, and his face is familiar to near
ly every policeman in the city. He was
arrested last week on a charge Of aban-
Comment made by his wife, Annie.
When the case came up on Sunday Jus
tice Taintor adjourned it on being con-
fronted by the fact that Fisher had no
money save what he stole. II was neces-
sary that Justice Taintor should order
the man to pay his wife a certain sum
each week for the support of herself ana
her three children. but how to do it with
out inferentially ordering the man to
steal was the difficulty which confronted
Justice Taintor
When the case was called yesterday
afternoon Mrs. Fisher again swore that
her husband had no money but what he
could get by stealing.
I'VE do not see, your honor how this
man can be ordered to steal so much a
week in order to provide for his wife
said Lawyer McClelland, "and we do not
think that the law win go that far. III
however, your honor really thinks that

The Testimony OF a HAN Who Was Half
Dead for Four Years-TO-Day as

Despite his sixty-fve years of age and
the intense mental and bodily affections, he

years, Mr.. Theo. j. Wheeler of Oswego,
N. Y, is still a fine looking man. He an.
swered the reporters ring at the door bell
and invited him into his coy sitting room,
where he told the following story:

up in the morning as usual when found that
! could not use my limbs or feet. At first
thought they were asleep and rubbed them
briskly with my hands for several minutes,
but without result. Finally l got back into
bed and sent for DR.. s. NJ. Bennett of this
village. He informed me that had suffered
what is commonly called stroke of paral-
ysis.' The numbness continued to spread,
accompanied by prickling sensation, until
the entire lower half of my body, as we'll as
my legs, was affected. My bowels and kid
neys refused to perform their functions, and
/ was only relieved by mechanical process.
l was not satisfied with DIR. Benefits dag
nosis, and sent fer Dr.. Low, of Pulaski. He
only confirmed DR.. Benefits statement and
advised me to get ready to die. For six
months / lay in bed at the home of my
niece, Mrs. G. A. Penfeld, unable to turn
over in bed, hardly, and requiring constant
attention and care. Finally | grew used to
my helplesspess and would crawl out of
bed, and getting partially dressed would
drag my body about the house, using my
hands like an infant when creeping, but
unable to help myself in the least with my
lower limbs. There was not the slightest
feeling in the lower part Of my body and
needle thrust into my afflicted parts would
not produce the slightest pain. This went
on until eight months ago. One day l read
in the Palladium of Cana liam gentleman
who suffered from paralysis and who had
found relief in DIR. Williams Pink Pills
i determined to give the medicine a trial.
Before / could hardly hope for results be-
gan to feel marked Improvement in my
condition. First nay kidneys and then my
bowels began again, after a lapse Of over
four years, to perform their natural func-
tions. The numbness left my body and the
sense Of feeling returned. This continued

tirely. Now / can 20 up to the village
