Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affec-
tion OF the kidneys or neighboring Or
gans. At times, symptoms of indiges-
tion are present, tlatulency, uneasiness
Of the stomach, etc. A moisture like
perspiration, producing very dis
agreeable itching, after getting warm,
is a comr nattendant. Blind, Bleed
ing and Itching Piles yield at once to
the application of DR.. Bosankos Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the
parts affected, absorbing the Tumors,
allaying the intense itching, and effect
ing a permanent cure. Price so cents.

In olden times the churches Of Europe at
this season presented much the appearance Of
theatres, and crowds Of people jostled each
other to see the sepulchers which were erected
representing the whole scene Of the Savior's
entombment
Ir those days the belief prevailed that the
Lords second coming would be on Easter
eve, hence the sepulchers were anxiously
watched through the night preceding Eester
Sunday, until a. m, when two aged monks
would enter and take out beautiful image
of the resurrection, which was held up be-
fore the worshiping audience during the
chanting of the anthem, ''Christus Resurgeus."
1t was then carried to the high altar, waere
q procession formed with lighted tapers, and
old men bearing canopy of velvet over the
image; they proceeded around the exterior
of the church, all singing, rejoicing and
praying, until, coming again to the high
altar, their precious burden was placed there,
not to be removed until Ascension day.
Easter week is still the great season at
Rome. For Easter Sunday the greatest
preparations are made, and it Is celebrated
with elaborate ceremonials. The day is
ushered in by the firing of cannon, and carly
in the morning carriages with their eager
freight of men and women, begin to roll to-
ward st. Peters, which Is richly decor ated
for the occasion, the aitars freshly ornamented,
and the lights around the tomb of ST. Peter
all blazing. On this day the pope officiates at
mass, with every imposing accessory that
human invention can d. '"e. From hall In
the palace Of the Vatican he is carried
into the church, borne on the shoulders of bis
officers. On his head he wears q round,
gilded cap, representing triple crown, sgni-
Tying spiritual and temporal power, union
OF both. On all sides of him are carried large
fans of ostrich feathers, in which are placed
the eye-like parts Of peacock feathers. to rep
resent the vigilant eyes Of the church. When
in the church he rests under rich canopy of
silk. After mass, to the sound Of music, he
is borne back to balcony over the central
doorway, where, rising from his chair of
state, he pronounces u benediction, with in
dulgences and absolution.
The crowd of people who witness this most
imposing of all the ceremonies ut Rome at
this season is immense. Below the balcony
at which the pope appears to pronounce the
benediction is the densest crowd. who watch
with upturned faces the falling of the papers
containing copies of the prayers that have
been uttered, which are thrown down Ey tho
pope and his assistants.

In June alone its mortuary receipts eX-

into the Reserve Fund-that triple buttress
upon which the association justly prides
itself. This reserve now amounts to S425,-
900, and is employed for three purposes
only-to pay death claims, if any should
occur in excess of the American Experience

and to be apportioned among those who

Easter-The "Feast OF Eggs"
Easter Sunday, or as it was formerly
called, the 'SundaY OF JOY" like many other
ceremonies which have come down to us from
earlier times, has been changed from It's or
iginal, and to some extent pagan character
to religious observance, until now, more
especially limited to the Romish and Episco-
pal churches, it Is the festival Of the resur-
rection of Christ.
In olden times there was feast OF the Teu-

name for April was Easter month. The pa

Northern Germany, and was brought into
England by the saxons; and the early mis-
sicnaries, fading It impossible to abolish it,
endeayo-ed. as with some other ceremonies,
so fer as was possible, to change it to a
Christian festival, and to give to the rites o
religious significance This YVES easily done
in this Instance; for Joy at the rising OF the
sun, ct the bursting Of spring from the bonds
of winter, the resurrection of the natural
world, could quite easily be changed to Joy at
the riatng OF the sun Of Righteousness, at the
resurrection of Christ, his triumph over
death and the grave. Easter has often been
called tho Christian Passover, because the
Jewish Passover was celebrated, according to
the Mosaic law. on the 18th day Of the
month Of Abi, that Is, within day or two
before or after the yernel equinox.

The Line Not Broken.

An enthusiastic eastern pewspane,
of the mugwump order announces
that "the color line is broken at the
south" As evidence of the truth
of its statement, it parades an array
of figures tending to show that in
some localities at the south the col
ored vote has been cast for Demo
cratic candidates. This evidence is
obviously tenuous and mconclusive.
There is no doubt that some south
ern election returns, as published,
apparently show that a portion of
the colored vote was cast for Dem
ocratic candidates. But southern
election returns are VIGOROUSLY not
as rule, based on the vote as cast.
They are forged, fabricated and
fraudulent whenever it becomes
necessary to so change their purport
as to give the offices to Democrats
in cases where Republican candi-
dates had been elected on the honest
vote. Such returns may appear to
show that the color-line has been
broken. But what they show in
fact is that the ballot-box has been
corrupted, and that forged returns
of the vote have been made instead
of true returns.-C Chicago Journal.
