HSNe"St is of Italian marble representing Memory" the body being inclined slightly forward, with hands outstretched holding wreath of flowers, which she is apparently about to de- posit on grave. Every feature and express ion of the fgureis accurate and true to nature and speaks the praise of the artist. The tab lets in the die are highly polished, and bear inscriptions to the memory of Minnie E daughter of R. and c. M. Little, wife ofE J. Hornbeck, who died May, 30, 1880, also Erastus Eldred and wife, (parents of Mrs. R. Little) deceased daughter of the Eldreds, and the names and date of birth, of Mr. and Mrs. Little. At each corner of the die, is column, chiseled out of the same block. Each of the four sides of the cap contains an elaborate scroll, and on the west and east side are the respective letters, "L."' and "E." in old English, for Little and Eldred. The base also contains the words "Little' and "Eldred' in raised letters. The entire monument weighs about eight tons, and stands sixteen feet high. It was purchased by MT. Little, through MT. L. H. Lincoln, agent for the monumental works of F. A. Haven of Rutland, Vt., and was set up by Geo. Sawyer, of the works Mir. Little is enthusiastic over it, as he has just cause to be. He went through the cemeteries of several large cities in search of design that would please him, and the present one was the result of visit to the Troy cemetery, and he says it is ''exactly what he wanted."

Piles.

Piles are frequently pr coded by
a sense of weight in the back loins
and lower part of the abdomen,
causing the patient to suppose he
has some affection of the kidneys
or neighboring organs. At times
symptoms of indigestion are pres
ent as hatu ency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. Il moisture like
perspiration, producing a very
disagreeable itching, particularly
at night after getting warm in bed
is a very common attendant. In
ternal, External and Itching Piles
yield at once on the application of
DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts effect
ed, absorbing the tumors, allaying
the intense itching, and effecting
permanent cure where all other
remedies have failed. Do not delay
until the drain on the system pro-
duces permanent disability, but
try it and be cured. Price, so cts.
Ask your druggist for it, and when
you cannot obtain it of him, we
will send it, prepaid, on receipt of
price. Address The DR.. Bosanko
