A STRANGE ACCIDENT
Fall From a Horse Results in
PARALYSIS.

While Mr.. L. J. Davis, of Manistee,
Mich. was riding his horse near the
railroad. the animal was frightened at a
Dassing train and became unmanageable.
The horse plunged and, although Mr..
Davis is a good rider, the movement was
so quick and unexpected that he was
thrown from his saddle and struck the
pavement with his head and shoulders.
He was picked up unconscious and it
was at first thought his neck had been
broken; but an examination revealed
that this was not the case. When he
came to his senses he was found partially
paralyzed.
In telling the story, Mr.. Davis said to
the reporter of the Manistee Times: at
was three days and nights after the ac-
oident before came to know anyone,
and then found my left side was par
alvzed. l could not move even a finger
or toe on my left side and my left eye
was affected. A doctor treated me for
three months after was hurt but got
no better. After this had gone ON for a
couple of years saw an account in a
paper of how man was cured of creep
ing paralysis by DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, and I thought per-
haps they would help me. And they
did l began to get better Immediately
and kept taking them till was cured.

Guilty and recommend Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People to every one whom
hear complain.
NJ III Davis IS Il; a marine engineer on the
tug Stevens and, although the accident
took place eleven years ago, he has not
had touch of the complaint since his
marvellous cure by DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People.
1t is a reasonable claim that if DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People will
cure severe cases of this nature they will
readily accomplish as good results in
lesser affections of the nerves. That
this is so is substantiated by statements
from thousands of people who have been
cured by them. They are a positive
specific for all diseases arising from
deranged nervous system or poor blood.

Two Names and Two Results.


A large steamer was once wrecked
because one of the sailors was named
West The vessel was outward bound
from Rotterdam. and the sailor was on
deck polishing some brasswork. Sud
denly the captain called him and told
him to go below. The second officer on
the bridge heard the captain call out
the mans name and thought it was an
order to change the course of the vessel
to west He did SO, and the result was
that the ship ran on to a dangerous
shoal That name cost the owners Of
the vessel the sum of 100000

Strange Eject. of Extreme Cold.

DR.. Moss of the English polar eXpe
dition of 1ST5-17. among many other
things. told Of the strange effects of the
extreme cold upon the candles they
burned. The temperature WAS from 30
to 90 degrees below zero, and the doe
tor says he WAS considerably discour-
nged when upon looking at his candle
he discovered that the flame had all it
could do to keep warm" 1t was so
cold that the flame could not melt all
of the tallow of the candle, but was
forced to eat its way down. leaving
sort of skeleton candle standing. There
was heat enough, however, to melt odd
shaped holes In the thin walls of tai
low. the result being a beautiful lace
like cylinder of white, with a narrow
tongue of yellow flame burning on the
inside and sending out many streaks Of
light into the darkness.

formed the model of Landseer's famous painting became the progcnitor of the famous Landseer strain of Newfound- lands. Five years ago, with the exception of a few animals of the old Landseer stock, the breed had vanished from Great Britain.
 It was then that Mir. Nichols determin- ed that breed that had figured so con- spicuously in English literature and art should not disappear through sheer ne- glect, gathered together the scattered remnants of the old Landseer pack, and is now sole breeder of Newfoundlands in the world The dogs bred from his ken- nels have all the characteristics of the old breed, head broad and massive, with flat skull and somewhat square muzzle; ears small in proportion to the body; coat straight, dense and capable of resist ing water; color black black and white and bronze; weight 100 pounds for males, Sb pounds for females, tail carried gay1y, but not curled over back. Such is the Newfoundland of today; the last of his race.
 The Newfoundland dog is almost ex- tinct, even in the land of its origin. Joseph Hatton, writing as early as 1880, in his DOCK entitled Newfoundland; the Oldest British Colony" says:
 There are very few fine specimens of the Newfoundland dog now on the island. The dogs most common and numerous are wretched mongrel race, cowardly InleVlsh end given to sheep-killing Star Vation and neglect has killed out the old Newfoundland breed which thrives bet ter anywhere except on this island, the place of its origin The life-saving sta- tons and lighthouses are importing dogs of the Leonberg breed from Germany to fill the places of the Newfoundland breed, which, with few exceptions. have become extinct all over the island"
 Why this valuable dog should have be- come extinct, even in his native island. where they were almost a necessity, Is a mystery. The coast of Newfoundland is storm-swept region, where shipwrecks are both common and frequent, and the Newfoundland dog was an animal pe- culiarly adapted and inclined to the work of saving shipwrecked persons from drowning
 Protected by his dense and shaggy coat or hair. swimming in the coldest water was a delight rather than a hardship for these dogs. and the reports of the keepers or lfe-saving stations along this coast for the years prior to the civil war show every year where many lives were saved by these faithful and intelligent animals.
 But the people of Newfoundland did not appreciate the value of these dogs, and as result Of neglect and lack of food the breed finally died out. When 1t was too late the Newfoundlanders began to realize tnelr error, and now they are compelled to import dogs from Europe to perform the work of the native breed that has disappeared or degenerated into an ani- nal little better than a wolf
