Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, l0ins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some election
of the kidneys or neighboring organs.
At times, symptoms of indigestion are
present, flatulency, uneasiness OF the
stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspir-
alton, producing very disagreeable
itching after getting warm, Is a common
attendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching
Piles yield at once to the application Of
DIR. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acts
directly upon the parts effected, absorb
ing the Tumors, allaying the intense
itching, and eiiecting permanent cure.

SHOULD WOMEN PROPOSE TO MEN?
LabOuchere on "a London Lecture by
an American Lady

LabOuchere on London Lecture by
an American Lady.
The American lady who recently
lectured at st. James's hall, on the
subject of love, courtship and mar
riage, appears to entertain rather
peSsimistic opinions with regard to
the amount of happiness enjoyed in
the married state. She computes that
a percentage of one~thlrd of the coup
les so Joined in this country and
America are thoroughly miserable,
and traces large amount of such
misery to the prohibition against
women proposing TO men. She thinks
II hardly fair that men should mono~
police the privileges of selecting
their partners for life, and deplores the
restrictions that condemn girl to sit
in silence, while he on whom she has
fixed her young affections goes around
proposing to other ladies. With how
ever. wholly womanly one>sidedness
the lecturer only enlarged upon the
suffering of the love~lorn damsel, and
quite ignored the painfulness of the
position in which the gentleman
would find himself if suddenly con-
fronted with proposal of marriage
made in person.
Much of the lecture was too thoro-
ughly American TO be quite ineligible
to an English audience, whose social
customs differ so entirely in many
ways from those of their transatlantic
cousins. For Instance, the word
''lady" was used so completely to the
exclusion of woman that it was i'm
possible to avoid the conclusion that
there are no women in America but
only ladies, One ''lady" was desert
bed as being unhappy in her marriage,
but entirely successful as a market
gardener. Another acted as school
teacher, and boarded aroundn-a
mode of life that is unconfortably
suggestive of vague and erratic meals,
And the diseases of ladies" were ref
erred to as though the beings so des-
ignated were constructed upon some
especial plan, differing essentially
from the one pursued in the formation
of mere women,
Here is the lecturers notion of
domestic happiness: A pleasant room,
a bright fire, a comfortable cat and
dog, rosy-cheeked children, and
prettily-dressed mother, with sewing
in hand. To these enters the husband,
tired with his days work, and happy
to be at home. He throws himself in
a comfortable arm chair, IN an attl-
tude of repose, which he completes by
placing his feet upon his wife. knees
This must be bliss indeed

Bismarek,s Garden Parties.
New York Commercial Advertlser

The subtle delights Of Der Fruhl-
ing" have been surg by all the poets
of the iatherland, and the season of
blossoms in Germany is really SO
beautiful and charming in it's gradual
approach to a elimination of rich
verdure and deicate fragrance of
flowers that 1t is no marvel the nature
of poets is inspired, and even that the
spirits of common mortals are mel
lowed by such gentle influences.
In this latitude Dame Nature is not
so complaisant. The sudden transit
ton from cold to heat, which tests so
hastily our powers of physical endur-
ance, MAKES it indeed impossible for
het to treat us so benefciently. We
arc derived, therefore, of the oppor.
tumty Of going a-Maying, which we
would gladly enjoy if it were given
us. But we can, nevertheless, regard
with sympathy the pleasures which
other people derive from the awaken
ing of the spring. The great German
chancellor, for example, is to be cons
graduated at the success of his Nav
garden parties. At these "Fruh-
Schoppen," as they were termed, beer
in unstinted quantities and sardellen-
brodchen are the c0ncomitants of the
perfumes and charms of early spring,
and Bismarck and his guests forget
their politics entirely for the noGce
and become happy in worshiping at
the shrine of Pan.

The United States and the Isthmus of
Panama.
London Spectator

The government of the United
States has taken a great stride toward
the annexation of the lsthmus of Pan
anna. 1t was necessary during the re-
cent emeUte there to land marines for
the protection of American property,
and, indeed, of civilization in general;
and although on the arrival of Col
ombian troops the marines retired, the
Columbian government was hardly
found equal to the situation. 1t is as
weak, and possibly as corrupt, as
most Spanish American governments,
and could not permanently protect the
transit. A treaty has therefore been
made under which the government OF
Washington and the governmental
Bogota assume joint protecterate of
the Isthmus, and between them are to
guarantee the safety of transit. In
view of the inequality of the parties
to the treaty, and of the immense i'm
portance of the transit, that means an
American protectorate OF the Isthmus,
and consequently something very like
American sovereignty over the route
of the Panama Canal, This is a great
change, but we do not know why
Europe should object, 1t was inevi~
liable that some arrangement should
be'made between the world in general
and the only substantive power on
the American con tinent, and the ar.
engagements is not moro difficult be-
cause Colombia Is practically elimi
mated. Nobody could prevent the
United States from being the most
important factor in Inc ultimate set
Element which must make the Pana-
ma Canal all arm of the sea, and she
may just as well assume openly the
liabilities Of that position.

Wood, when subjected to heat Of
from 400, 500 degrees, is resolved into
three dlstlnc. products-charcoat,
pryoligueous acid, and gases. The
process is thus described; A cord OF
fairly seasoned wood weighs, say
4, 600 pounds. This cord of wood,
placed in charring recepticle and
subjected to a proper temperature for,
say five days, entirely disappears. In
its place we have /, 900 pounds OF char
