PilESI PILElll ESyyI

A sure cure for Blind, Bleeding,
Itching, and liberated Piles, has been
discovered by DIR. William, ian Indian
remedy)called DIR. WILLIAMS INDIAN
OINTMENT. A single box has cured
the worst chronic cases of twenty-five
years standing. No one need suffer
five minutes after applying this Won
derful soothing medicine. Lotions and
Instruments do more harm than good
Williams Ointment absorbs the tu-
mors, aliays the intense Itching, (par-
ticularly at night after getting warm
in bed,) acts as poultiGe, gives in
stant and painless relief, and is pre-
pared only for Piles, itching of the
private parts, and for nothing else.

Change of Structure Due to Change
of Function.

Here, however, my chief pur-
pose is to add an instance showing.
| even more clearly, the connexion be-
tween change of function and change of
I structure. This instance, allied i'm ma
/ ture to the other, is presented by those
t varieties, or rather sub-varietles, of
dogs, which, having been household
pets, and habitually fed on soft food
have not been called on TO use their
jaws in tearing and crunching, and
have been but rarely allowed TO use
them in catching prey and in fighting.
No inference can be drawn from the
sizes of the jaws themselves, which, in
these dogs, have probably been short
ened mainly by selection. To get direct
proof of the decrease OF the muscles con-
cerned in closing the jaws or biting,
would require a series of observations
very difficult to make. But it is not
difficult to get indirect proof of this de-
crease by looking at the bony structures
with which these muscles are connected
Examination of the skulls of sundry in
door dogs contained in the Museum of
the College of Surgeons, proves the rela-
tive smallness of such parts. The only
pug-dog's skull is that of an individual
not perfectly adult; and though its traits
are quite to the point they cannot with
safety be taken as evidence. The skull
OF toy-terrier has much restricted
areas of insertion for the temporal mus
cles; has weak Zygomatic arches; and
has extremely small attachments for the
masseter muscles. Still more signifi-
cant is the evidence furnished bY the
skull of King Charles's spaniel, which,
if we allow three years to a generation,
and bear in mind that the variety must
have existed before Charles the Seconds
reign, we may assume belongs TO some
thing approaching to the hundredth
generation of these household pets. The
relative breadth between the outer sur
faces of the zygomatic arches is con-
splcuously small; the narrowness of the
temporal foss9 is also striking; the
zygomata are very slender; the temporal
muscles have left no marks whatever.
either 10y limiting lines OF by the char
acter OF the surfaces covered; and the
places of attachment for the masseter
muscles are very feebly developed. At
the Museum of Natural History, among
skulls of dogs there is one which.
though unnamed, is shown by its small
size and by its teeth, to have belonged
to one variety or other of lap-dogs,
and which has the same traits in an
equal degree with the skull Just de-
scribed. Here. then, we have two if not
three kinds of dogs which, similarly
leading protected and pampered lives,
show that in the course of generations
the parts concerned in clenching the
jaws have dwindled.-Her6ert Spencer,

How to Treat COMPANY.

10 appear pleasant CHEEKY, hostess
throughout an evening party" or ever
the short-lived call is truly no eas,
| thing nor can some people ever learI
| the art
Tact is an essential, and an absolute
unseltishness; the guests must be first
and they must not feel any sacrifice Of
time nor attention too keenly. All
women should aim at being bright con
yersationalists, not startling nor wonder
ful, but amusing, refined and especially
light Of touch. Long stories are USUALLY
intolerable bores. and a serions Slow
heavy way of looking at matters in gen.
eral is an infliction. Grievances of anv
sort are best kept hidden; a sprightly
acquaintance with the affairs of the
day, fattering anxiety as to others
opinions, an absence of slang or man
nerlsms, OF boastful egotism, or self de-
probation, tact, tact, above all, tact,
these make the agreeable hostess, the
woman one wishes to find at home in
ones round of calls.
Parlor chairs should be, for the most
part, light and easily moved, with Just
few of more substantial sort for those
who are six feet tall or weigh two hun
dred pounds. People can't talk a rod
or two apart, nor can they drag that
abomination a ''patent-rocker," don't
have rocking chairs in your parlorD
across to their nearest neighbor. A
sofa superinduces conversation.
Have little things lying about the
room which must of themselves call ont
comment and give your guests some
thing to do. Albums, and piles of
photographs; birthday books; pig
album where one has to draw a pig and
write ones name underneath, with
closed eyes; scrap-books, particularly
of pictures, and such works as Bellows
Comic Primer" and THE Good
Things of Life" all these are hosts in
themselves.
Games are almost invariably success
full; the older and staider the company
the more riotous they are likely to be-
come. Bean Bags are good thing to
have in the house, and Logomachy
proves entertaining in MANY circles.
But simple. childish games, II don't
mean Copenhagen), and the simpler the
better; Going to Jerusalem" Vacant
Chair" Charades, and the like, prove
more dlverting than any other form of
entertainment
We women make work of company,
and we grow, many of us, to look upon
1t as an evil, necessary, perhaps, but al
ways an evil. Could we see the hest
way, which is also, as truly, the easiest.
we might be not grudgingly given to
hospitality, and all learn the lesson few
do not need-what goes to make up a
model hostess. Hall, in Good

1t is claimed that E. W. Dexter, of the
town of Liberty, near New London, is
the soldier mentioned in Grants me-
moirs who surrounded and captured a
half-dozen MeXicans on a roof at Cha
pultepec, at the storming and capture of
that place during the Mexican war.
Grant did not know the name of the SOL
dier, but Mr.. Dexter, while applying for
pension in 1880, told Mr. Patchen the
incident. The wound on which he
based his application was received on
the roof, after the capture, while waving
the flag he had taken. ---,xss<

Temperature is mainly the secret of
success or failure in making butter, saws
Henry Stewart, and the difference of a
degree or two in the cream when it goes
into the churn is sufficient to produce
vast amount of trouble in the way of
foaming cream, butter not coming, and
butter not gathering. 1t should not be
matter for surprise that this small
variation in temperature should produce
such results when we think that at 33
degrees all the water in the world is
fluid, but at 80 degrees it becomes as
hard as rock, and if this were continued
it would make the whole earth uninhab-
