A MARVELLOUS RECOVERY.
A Lady Resident of Isle of Hope
Stricken with Paralysis Almost
tremendously Cured, and She
Thanks God and AbbO for 1t.

About a month ago Mrs. Mary Adams,
wife of Joseph A. j. Adams, and who re-
sides at Isle of Hope, was suddenly strick-
en- with paralysis. The attack was Sc
rious one, the entire right side being TO-
tally paralyzed. The tongue was render
ed powerless to articulate and the unfor-
tunate lady was in a truly pitiable cond,
ton. Medical assistance was invoked ana
seemingly every effort and remedy known
to the profession were used to remedy ner
condition, but to no avail. and her case
was finally considered hopeless.
The Abbo Medical and Surgical Instr
tute was then given the case in chaTss
and after a week of Abbo treatment MrS'
Adams friends were astonished beyond eA;
preston at the wonderful change that nav
taken place. At the end of the seconu
week Mrs. Adams was in a condition -

within thirty days after Abbo's treatniebh Nv
was begun no signs of paralysis can
found and Mrs. Adams is In the pess u
health. The case has created great ueo'
of comment and the friends of the laoy a..

and Leonia flights. He covers this route
daily, sometimes going over it twice in
d day. Up to year ago last spring he
used horse and buggy in his work Then
he took to the bicycle, quickly realizing
it's superiority for his purposes. AT the
beginning of 1897 Mr.. Harrison figured
the prospective amount of riding he would
do during the year at 1900 miles, enough
to win the record for him. He stuck to
his schedule through almost all kinds
of weather, with the satisfactory result
mentioned above. He rode his Crescent
bicycle throughout the entire year, and
, his tires lasted him for % 900 miles. In
riding that distance he had only two
punctures. When he started the years
riding he weighed 126 pounds. Now his
weight is 1H pounds His lowest weight
during the hot weather was 116 pounds.

far the easier time of it, There is room for
improvement in the small pumps used in

FORTUNE sEENERs' EYES ON
CUBA

Galveston has for many years had
considerable trade with Cuba and the
other islands Of the West Indies. Two
of the big transatlantic steamship lines
OF Spain, the principal Of which Is the
Sierra Company, of Bilbao, have had
their fleets constantly in the Calves
ton trade, and as the Spanish mer-
chantmen called at San Juan de Porto
Rico, Havana, Matanzas, Cardenas
Santiago de Cuba, or other ports in the
Spanish West Indies, going from or
coming to Galveston, this city has had
well defined commercial relationship
with the Cuban and Porto Rican mer-
chants Not only that, but Galveston
has for long time been supplying the
Havana market with cattle md -four.

VISIT TO A MANDARIN.
Some of the Difficulties Encountered
By n European in Making -
Call on the MaRnate.

The precincts OF yamen (ofllclhl
residences in China) are invariably
walled round, and the only entrance Is
on the south side. Over the gateway is
heavy tiled roof, and this tiled roof
Is supported in front by two strong
poles resting on stones. The gates are
Of wood and consist of three portions;
the central portion of two leaves, gayly
painted with allegorical figures, Is only
used by the mandarin himself, his
equals OF his superiors; the two side
entrances, half the breadth of the cen
trail, by servants and officials of subor-
dinate degree. If the yamen is a large
one, there are two rooted orchestra
boxes. one at each side of the entrance,
and some 80 or 100 feet from IL out
side, and as the visitor enters in his
palanquin these orchestra boxes dis
course music in the shape of Chinese
airs of the squeakiest description.
II the visitor is entitled to a salute
(never more. never fewer than three
''guns'). three iron mortars are fired
off by a man with long stick, just as
the visitor enters the gate. Military
men are supposed TO go on horseback,
and In order TO keep this semblance Of
manliness often have their nag led be-
hind the chair, but, roundly speaking,
it may be said that in these degenerate
days al visits are made in chairs.
One would have thought that, with
so many doors and a sedan chair well
coined by guns and music, the entrance
of a visitor would have been a simple
matter. But no; with Europeans the
question is, or used TO be, raised wheth-
er the middle door shall be opened at
all. and, however carefully the appoint
ment may have been made, the man
aarin or one Of his servants usually man
ages to keep the chair waiting for few
minutes just 10 take risep out Of the
visitor. During this mauvais quart
d'heure all the boys and roughs in the
neighborhood congregate noisily and
make rude remarks; the chairbearers,
anxious to rest. support their burden
on two groggy poles. which wabble
hbout tand threaten to collapse the whole

WINE ApuInERArIoNs.

An Old caricature of CHAINS depicted
the horror OF a French gentleman who
had made inquiries of his wine mer-
chant as to the prospects Of the vim
iage, and had received the reply that
the outlook was good, for the price OF
potato spirit had fallen and the supply
OF fuchsine was ample. During the
bad years after the pyhlloxera the pub
lie mind became firmly imbued with
the belief that the red wines OF France
were particularly liable to be adulter-
ated. The notion that white wines
were less likely to be sophisticated
gave rise to a fashion which has con-
tinued after the belief on which It was
founded has ceased to have any good
ground.
We do not propose to attribute 10
French wine makers any exceptional
Increase of conscientiousness, but the
fact, appears to be that recent vintages
have been 50 copious that il is not
worth while to adulterate. Neverthe-
less, the public belief in a greater pur-
ity OF French white wines persists, and
as one consequence, they have becom,
dearer than red wines OF corresponding
quality. Supply follows demand anc
producers OF red wine have set about "a
fined means TO convert It into white
Recent analysis made in France prove
that one mode OF obtaining this end is
to treat red wine with n mixture OF
animal charcoal and potassium per.
manganate. This process bleaches the
wine, but at the same time leaves q
considerable quantity OF manganese In
solution. Wine which has thus been
treated can be recognized by adding to
II in an open vessel an excess OF eau
&C soda and shaking. After few
minutes thin brown layer forms on
the surface or the liquid, due to the
oxidation by the air OF the oxide OF
manganese set at liberty by the alkah
There can be no doubt that this ma
nipulation which transforms red wine
into white, renders II less whole
some, and it is curious to reflect that
this has been brought about by the de-
sire of the public to escape from adul-
teration. Seeking to avoid fuchsine
they are now dosed with manganese

cUBA's RAINY SEASON.
Medical and 0ther Ezpsrts ON the
Prevailing Conditions on
f.. the Island.

II medical authorities and the opin1
ions Of those who have been In Cuba and
other tropical climates are not at fault,
the popular belief that il viii be fatal
10 send troops TO Cuba until after the
Rainy season is over is erroneous. The
surgeon general Of the army, very
high authority on the subject, is quoted
rs saying that he is confident the eS-
cellent sanitary provisions OF the sery-
ice will prevent any greater mortality
from fever in Cuba than is occasioned
by diseases common in more northern
latitudes, "where the health of the SOL
diers has been much better than that
OF the great cities where they have been
stationed" The surgeon general of the
navy, who had charge of q squadron at
Rio Janeiro in very siclly season and
did not lose n man by yellow fever,
hopes to be equally fortunate now. viii
Lam T.. Hornaday. who has spent years
in tropical jungles worse than any in
Cuba, writes the Army and Navy Jour
nal that II our soldiers are properly
equipped, fed and cared for, and take
reasonable care Of themselves, they will
fare no worse in n rainy season cam
paign in Cuba than they would in Ar
kansas and Alabama. The equipment,
hesays, should include an adequate sup
ply Of hemp twine hammocks TO keep
the men of the ground at night. He
would have oilskin sheets for shelter,
rubber blankets, hickory shirts, short
trousers, with a band and button just
below the knee, woolen stockings up
to the knee. and the very best shoes OBJ
| tainable.
The Army and Navy Journal pub
fishes an Interesting interview with Mr.,
Fullerton, who has explored large
part OF Cuba on a bicycle. He says that
II good water is not TO be found on the
surface. II can always be obtained by
boring. He thinks that "the wet season
should count for scarcely anything in
case the army Is properly equipped and
is supplied with good food" Regarding
the occupation Of Cuba by United States
troops. Mr.. Fullerton says; .tt
'sTo the southwest of Havana, prob
ably not more than 20 or 30 miles, on the
Caribbean side, there are coyes and
landing places where any number oi
troops could be disembarked will
safety, with all the artillerythey Nigh
wish to take'with them. These placel
are not fortified, for the very reason
4 that Spain cannot afford to fortif.
them; the same reason as that whicl
keeps the defenses Of Havana so anti
| quated."
aOther men who have been much l.
Cuba express similar views regarding
the climate during the rainy season
There is little danger If the proper car
is exercised. Consul-General Lee,
will be remembered, in his testimony
declared that CUR troops would not b
exposed to unusual disease by invadih
the island during the rainy season.
