less.
(From the Cooperstown. n. Y. Repub-
lican.)
Mr.. Edwin R. Trip. the postmaster
at Middlefeld Centre, N. Y, recently
had dangerous experience which left
him in a helpless state. His system
was SO much shattered that it was
feared he might never recover. In an
interview with a reporter of the Re-
publican, regarding his experience, Mr.
Trip stated:
In March, 1892, l was taken with
what l afterward learned was locomo-
| tor ataxia, and was unable to walk,
and l kept getting worse until l lost
the use of my arms. l doctored with
two skillful doctors but received no
benefit, and also used galvanic bat
terry but kept getting worse and the
doctors told me they could do no more.
This was in May and June, 1892. |
gave up all hope of ever having the
use of my limbs again, and did not
expect to live very long. l was unable
to dress or undress myself, and could
not get around the house unless l was
moved in a chair
Il think it was in June that 1 read
of the case of man in Saratoga Co.,
N. Y, who was taken very much as
myself He had taken DR.. Williams
Pink Pills which contained in con-
densed form, all the elements neces-
sary to give new life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered nerves
and had been cured by their use.
Il used the pills faithfully and they
gave me an appetite. then sent fol
four more boxes, and before l haC
taken all of them my feet and leg:
which had been cold began to gee
warm.
L was member of the Town Boart
that summer and had to be carried ant
put into wagon to go to the meetings
and in fact was helpless, as my neigh
bors know. In August I could wall
around the house by pushing chair
I kept getting better and managed Il
move around more, until at election
time that year, 1 walked with a can,
to the polls, short distance from m.
home, l continued to take DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills until I had takel
eighteen boxes. l could then ge
around, and to-day walk to the pos
Office and back, distance of one-quar
ter of a mile, three times a day, an,
attend to my duties as postmaster.

And think she ought to go. l think all young people ought to go.
 But about society. Well, don't know as l can say any more. l just had peep at it, you know. It is very nice-very nice, indeed, particularly for young people who are getting ready to marry. But as for me, can't afford it."
 The Sylvia whom Mrs. Green re- ferred to so often and so fondly is her daughter, just as Ned '~ her son.
 As to the kind of a. man Mrs. Green wants Sylvia to merry, he probably would not be found in the society ot which Mrs. Green speaks so kindly. She once gave her views on this point to her daughter in these words:
 Now, Sylvia, I've kept my eyes open all these years, and want to say right here that you shall never marry a so- ciety man with my consent. I want to see you happily married. and in a home of your own, but I want you to marry a poor young man of good prln- ciples, who is making an honest, hard fight for success. I don't care whether he has got $100 or not, provided he is made. of the right stuff. You'll have more money than you'll ever spend, and it isn't necessary to look for man with money. Now you know my wish, and I hope I won't hear any more about our young man at Newport, who knows just about enough to part his hair in the middle and spend his fath- CTS money"

4 GOOD IDEA FOR NEBRASKA.

School consolidation and transporta- tion of pupils. at public expense are not matters of such importance in the compact East as they are in the scat tered West, though in our neighbor State Massachusetts they have, we be- lieve, been applied in few cases with benefit to all concerned. In some of the western States it is evident that much money can be saved and better schooling be provided by punching the schools and giving the pupils free rides A law passed by the legislature of Ne braska at it's last session allows this to be done in that State, and plans to take advantage of the law are now being made. What can be done will appear from some facts that have been made public. In many of the western counties of the State there are districts in which the average attendance of pupils is less than five. In some it runs as low as one pupil to the school. In 1,700 districts the average attendance is below ten pupils to the school. In one district the expense of maintaining school from February 2, 1891, to Oc- tober 8, 1892, was $1,3S9.65, although the average attendance during that time was shown to be two pupils. The teacher was paid $40 per month and the directors got the balance. In another school-house was 14x14 feet in size, and was fitted out with nine single seats The average daily attendance for that year was three. The expense account aside from the teachers salary, shows that $30 was expen ed for a map, and that $50S09 was drawn by the three directors in various amounts of from S20 to $75, for attending meetings, work, and visiting schools The same district in 1893 contained thirteen pupils of school age, of whom six attended school The average attendance was three, as III LHts plCNlOuo SCehl- iC eA- penditures were: Teacher, $S60; repairs and fuel s7375; maps and charts, $41. 40; books and supplies, s13.S0; well and windmill, $29445; janitor work, kindling, and carrying water, s1O0; other pur- poses, ssO.76. In 1894 the district con- tained eleven pupils of school age, and the average daily attendance was four. The directors paid the teacher s120; new school-house, $466.10; repairs and fuel, BPS; books. maps, etc., s66.73 books and supplies, s2O; janitor and furnish ing water, s9O; insurance, s1750; all other purposes, $1SS.22

THROUGH GERMAN spAcrAcLES.

. A German professor has been inves- tigating bicycle riding, and he seems to have done it thoroughly, in true Ger man fashion. He is Professor Mendels- sohn, of the Berlin university. He con- demns all excess in riding as harmful or absolutely dangerous. Besides the danger from accidents, inflammation of the knee joint, inflammation resulting from pressure of the saddle, etc., Dr. Mendelssohn points out other dangers. Constant excessive exertion produces an increased atomic and molecular change throughout the body to such a degree as to weaken the individual and cause a special susceptibility to infec- tious diseases. The tendency to catch cold is great, and the heart is subject to the greatest danger in cases of ex- cessive riding. He says that wheeling should be prohibited CD where there are existing heart lesions CD arterial cstlcilicaliou' No) dipuLllHuIld, N4J oiu age, and (5) childhood. Bicycling is beneficial, he contends, in the follow ing cases; CD When excessive uric acid and gout exist, @ in certain mild forms of chronic disturbances in the pelvic organs, (3 when there are slight dis turbances in the respiratory organs, ex- cept absolute lung dilation.
 This is all very well, and probably it is true. But it will not have much in- fluence, for bicycle riders are not apt to take their medical examination un- til after they have been hurt by their devotion to the alluring wheel.

It takes some people a long time to learn. Another group of American claimants to an English estate has been deprived of it's delusion, although prob ably only after parting with a good many real dollars for attorneys fees and expenses. These dupes were led to believe that they were entitled to an estate near Manchester but investiga- tion shows that the property has be- longed to its present owners for more than century.

SOME hxPEnr TESTIMONY.


 Expert testimony has again been graphically and sadly illustrated in the Luetgert trial at Chicago. The unani- mity with which the experts called by the state agree in identifying certain bones as human is as remarkable as the unanimity with which the experts called by the defense agree in denying that such identification is possible. A vital point in the case of the prosecu- tion is that small human bones were found in the vat of the sausage factory. Professor George Dorsey of the Field Columbian museum has testified that one of the bones was the temporal bone of a woman. But Professor Allport of Northwestern university testifies that this bone Is nothing but composition of bones put together by artificial means and never was in any living creature of the organic world. As for that chip of a bone which Professor Dorsey identified as part of the femur of the left leg of a woman, Professor Allport says it was part of the femur of hog.
 And so forth and so on. Even Luet- gert has to laugh at the testimony of the experts. But they are earning their big fees and doing the best they can for those who hire them. Probably they are as honest as most people, and only try to make the fact fit the theo- ries which they are hired to support.

In recent lecture Professor Wilmer Stone of Philadelphia cited many facts to show that birds are natures great check on the excess of insects, and that they keep the balance between plants and insect life. Ten thousand caterpil- lars, it has been estimated, could de- stroy every blade of grass on an acre of cultivated ground. In thirty days from the time it is matched an ordinary caterpillar increases 10000 times in bulk, and the food it lives and grows on is vegetable. The insect population of a single cherry tree infested with aphides was calculated by a prominent entomologist at no less than 12,OOO 0OO! The bird population of cultivated coun- try districts has been estimated at from 700 to 1000 per square mile. This is small compared with the number of
