Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense
of weight in the back, loins and lower part
of the abdomen, causing the patient to sup
pose be has SEINE affection OF the kidneys
or neighboring organs. At times, symp-
toms Of Indigestion are present as tlatu-
ency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like perspirstion, producing q
very disagreeable itching, particularly at
night after getting warm in bed, is q very
common attendant. Internal, External

plication of Or. Bosanko's Pile Remedy,
which acts directly upon the parts affected,
absorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense
itching and effecting q permanent cure

not delsy until the drain on the system
produces permanent disability, but try it
and be cured. Price, 50 cents. Sold by A.

Of disappointment came into his eyes,

murmured.
"Oh, yes" said the girl, smiling a
wan, sad smile through the mist that
covered her beautiful brown eyes-"we
must never be aught but friends" and
turning she went into the house.
"You look i'll, Clytle," said Mendels-

evening to his daughter.
"No, papa" was the reply; "it is
worse than that"
He looked at her steadily for an in
slant. "Can it be possible" he said,
that you and Berthe"
YES" replied Clytic, 1--WE have
parted forever"
"Pooh, pooh tits only lovers quar-

Iremulous with grief; lit IS best to face

jay GOuld's Yacht.

The floating palace which William
Cranp Il Sons are building for Jay
Gould is rapidly approaching compile
ton. The frame work and deck, en-
tirely composed of iron, are almost
finished. Over the iron flush desk a
wooden Touring will be laid. The
frame is 225 feet long, and POS feet at
the water line, with 26-foOt beam.
The yacht will draw about 10 feet of
water. The cabins will be situated
in the forward part of the boat, and
the crews quarters will be after the
model of James G. Benefits
yacht. The cabins and state
rooms will be ventilated by
an improved steam fan. worked from
the engine room. The cabins and
nine state rooms will be furnished in
magnificent style before the yacht
leaves Cramps yards. The floors of
the StateroOmS are to be finished in
hard and fancy woods, with porcelain
bath tubs under them containing
fresh and salt water, which may be
made hot if the occupants desire.
Floors are to be movable, and so ar
ranged that bath may be INDUCED
in without the necessity of the occu-
pant leaving his room. The upper
wood work of the staterooms will
consist of satin wood, French wal
nut and mahogany, inlaid with vari.
Gus designs specially made for the
pul pose.
Tue furniture of each room will be
distinct. One is scarlet and yellow.
another in blue and gold, third in
ebony, and so on. The upholstering
of the apartments will be in tapestry,
with embroidered needle work In
various colors. so designed as to be in
harmony with the general character
OF each room. There will be addl-
tional accommodation for thirty off
GERS and men, and room to carry coal
sufficient for trip of eighteen days
duration. 1t is estimated that the
yacht will cost not less than $4,000.

That Settles 1t.
Brought Into Competition with the
world, che Best Carries or
the Prize.

At the great Centennial Exhibition OF 1876
the leading products OF all the branches OF
worlds Industry were assembled at Philadel-
phia. To carry of prize In the face OF that
tremendous competition was task of no ordi-
nary difficulty. Inventions and preparations
for the alienation OF pain and the cure Of dis
ease were present In the greatest possible va
riefy. representing the skill and the profound
est study of the age. and it may be of vital Inn
portance TO you personally TO know that the
highest aud only medal given TO Enbber Po-
rous plasters was awarded TO the manufaetur-
ers Of BENSON's CAPCINE POROUS PLAS-
TER by the following jury;
DIR. w. ROTH, Surgeon-tien. Prussian Army.
J. II. THOMPSON, AM, Md, Washington.
DC.
@. d. WHITE, NJ. D., New Orleans.
ERNEST FLEISCH. NJ. d.. Austria.
The decision was afterwards confirmed by
the medical Jury at the last Paris Exposition.
Knowing the value Of such high and unbiased
testimony, the medical profession, both In the
United States and In Europe. quickly threw
aside the old slow-acting plasters they had
been using and adopted Benson's in their reg.
nlar practice. That physicians aud surgeons
Of the broadcast regulations did this. distinctly
proves the intrinsic merit OF the article.
tits no more that just TO add that the average
physician OF TODAY l. not dominated by the
preiudices which retarded the progress and
modified the success OF his predecessors OF
not more than twenty-five years ago. He ac-
cepts hints from all quarters. aud endorses
and adopts demonstrated healing agents
wherever he finds them.
The right OF Benson's Capcine Porous Plas-
Ter to stand at the head of all external appli-
cations whatsoever. for the mitigation ur cure
Of disease, Is no longer questioned.

against limitations. The genuine has tue word

Americans Who Ape the Lords of
their Ancestors.


Most of the wealthy society ladies
have hitherto contented themselves
with half-livery for their cOachmen
and footmen and white vests and
sWallow-tail coats for the buffers, but
| this winter more elaborate costume
has been introduced. Hundreds OF
pairs of Partisan top-boots have been
| imported for cOachmen and fOotmen
who have heretofore worn their boots
inside of their trousers, and Mrs. VIM.
K. Vanderbilt has taken the lead in
putting her servants in full Eu-
rOpean- livery-that Is. the court
costume, breeches, silk stock
ings. ample vest, and long, full coat
of the shad-stomached variety, and
little linen picket under each ear.
The many colors of the French fun
claret broken only by the white silk
stockings. have never seen such
heraldic frenzy as prevails here now.
Carriage doors have suddenly bios
somed out bright cOlOrs-red and blue
and green-lions rampant, eagles flap
pant, and field argent with wattled
guleS and all sorts of cotties and quar-
teTings. Several old industries have
sprung into new life, founded on this
revival of the rage for escucheons.
On Monday l called on a livery
tailor on Fifth avenue, who does the
heavy business of the city. "Ameri-
cans are rushing into livery as never
before" he said. His English eye
twinllled as he added: 81 fear they
