AN OLD VETERAN OF the WAR AFTER
YEARS OF SUFFERING HAS A SHOCK
OF PARALYSIS.

Mr.. David G.. Talbot Is a w~eI.known and
respected citizen Of Otsego County, New
York, residing at Edmeston, who three years
ago had q stroke of paralysis, which he at
tributes to the effects ofa wound received ON
the 10th Of June, 1864, before Petersburg,
Va, while serving with the New York
Heavy Artillery.
The following is his own account Of his
Illness and convalescence, which will be
found interesting:
ED1rEsTON, N. Y, Aug. 81, 1896.

was taken with a paralytic shock, which af-
footed the whole Of the left side, aud / could

to my bed for a long time and constantly at
tended by a physician, though little relief
was experienced. My stomach and the
muscles of my throat were much affected.
/ was wounded in June, 1864, at Petersburg,
Va, having then lost three fingers Of my left
hand, and that always affected me in a
marked degree, my arm often becoming
numb. I should state that on the day / re-
ceived tho stroke, 1 had two distinct shocks,
the first in the morning, which was so light
that the doctor was not at all alarmed, but
the second nearly finished me up. Ever
since the war I had suffered with nervous de-
bility and my condition was very bad when /
was attacked. 1 am now sixty years old and
hardly dared look. for anything approaching
good health after my life Of suffering, but /

give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppressions, Irregularities and all forms
Of weakness. They build up the blood, and
restore the glow Of health TO pale and sallow
checks. In men they effect a radical cure
in all cases arising from mental worry, over
work or excuses of whatever nature. Pink

Very few people, [ fancy, writes Emma
II. Heath In The Ladies' Home journal,
have ever seen q paper party carried DUB
In oil Its details, but those who have are
unanimous In their expressions of delight
and surprise ct the wonderfully artistic
effects which have bson produced with
that pliable material, Grape paper, and the
best part Is the comparatively small ex-
penso and infinite variety Of changes In
color combinations.
First to be considered Is the ROOM, and
perhaps a description Of one which I helped
decorate not long ago will suggest more
ideas than I could give otherwise. 1t was
q large room in a clubhouse, some 30 by
40 feet, with ceiling 10 feet high, crossed
and enclFoled by big oak beams. On one
side were three window seats, and opposite
o big fireplace, with window seats OF
either side. Something entirely different
from anything that had ever been seen was
wanted, and this was how it was lone.
Morning Rlories in pink, purple and Grim.
son made In vines, with large leaves Of
tissue paper, were everywhere. Before
each Of the window seats were hung ur.
tains of morning glory vines, mado By
hanging lengths Of the vines close together
across the opening from the top of the
Rrohway, and then draped back each way
and let to fall gracefully on either side.
The beams were all hung with garlands
Of vines across and all around the room.
The doorways at either end Of the room
were hung with curtains, and long vines
trailed down oarelessly over the pictures,
The Gothic arches over the fireplace
were outlined with the vines. The room
was illuminated by a big circle of electric
lights, and from this to each corner hung
a long vine Of lights. These were wound
and hung with vines, and each light was
shaded with q big morning glory, as were
also the lights on the side chandeliers
about the room. The fireplace was filled
with palms and ferns, and the whole ef-
feet, when lighted, was q big bower Of
morning g%lories. OF course it took guam
titles of vines, but many hands made light
work.

The cosT Of LIVING.
The Question as TO Whether It Is Greater
In summer or In Winter.

The Question as TO Whether It Is Greater
In Summer or In Winter.
II was talking with my wife the other
day about the cost of living" said a man,
"about whether 1t costs more to live in
summer or in winter, and she said it de-
pended a good deal on how you were stu
ated-that is, whether you lived in the
country, or in a smaller city where you had
a garden and raised your vegetables,
or whether you lived in a city where you
had to buy all those things, and 1t depend
ed also a good deal ON how you were cir
eumstanced. She thought that people who
were downright poor and people who were
rich could live cheaper in summer than in
~winter-this Is Of course not taking any
account Of summer travel and that sort Of
thing; the poor, because in summer they
had less to pay for fuel and the clothes re-
quired cost less, and they could If need be
live on as little as at any time; the rich,
eating more OF less fresh vegetables and
fruits in winter, because vegetables were
cheaper in summer.
"As to people in moderate oiroum-
stanos, that is with incomes sufficient to
live comfortably on, she thought that If
anything it cost them rather more to live
ln summer. Light, fuel and clothes cost
them more in winter, but they spent less
in winter for food. The moderate people
couldn't afford to eat fresh vegetables in
winter; they ate canned goods then, and
in less quantity and at less expense than
the fresh vegetables and fruits of which
they ate freely in summer.
Upon further deliberation, however.
my wife was inclined to think that, taking
one thing with another, 1t cost people in
moderate circumstances about the same to
live in winter as in summer, and with this
view 1 am inclined to agree. In fact, I
know, when 1 come to think about 1t, that
pur expenses In winter and summer
are s%trikingly uniform, as indeed they are
the yenr around, so closely do they at all
times approximate to our income, New
York Sun.
