A lady residing in the PershOre

in consequence of the depredations
of a cat. For some time past her
neighbors have missed linen placed
in the garden to dry, the n in
which it has disappeared having
| given rise to suspicious about the

mystery was solved the other day.
The thief was a fine male cat belong
ing TO the lady referred to. Finding
that her stock of linen was increasing
in a manner which almost suggested
the generosity of a ghOstly visitant,
she set her wits to work to unravel
the secret and after careful watching
she found that the cat Vas in the
habit Of bringing home anything he
| could possibly find, and among other
articles the other day he landed home
with a pair Of stockings which had
been put out to dry in IA neighboring
garden. 1t was found that the cat
was a notorious thief, and whenever
he saw any light article Of clothing
which he could annex he did so, and
carried it triumphantly home. 1T is
only fair to say that Pussys owner
has returned all the property which
has been identified. while the house
wives in the neighborh0o have
taken extra precautions in securing
their washing when it is hung out to

YOU CANNOT CURE PILES
By Internal Remedies.

The only way to cure piles in every
form is to use remedy like the Pyramid
Pile Cure which is applied directly to
the parts affected and its wonderful
healing effects are felt on the first appli-
cation because the medical properties
are rapidly absorbed by the sensitive
membranes of the rectum and the cure
is speedily made, and almost before the
patient is aware of it, every trace of
piles has left him.
This is one reason why the Pyramid
Pile Cure has been so successful. 1t is
applied directly where it is needed and
where it will do the most good. Not by
the roundabout way of the stomach nor
by the barsh, barbarous methods of
various surgical operations and so called
systems.
It's advantages over all other pile
cures are these: 1t cures without pain.
the cure is lasting, it contains no poison
and is the quickest and cheapest cure
yet found. 1t is made by the Pyramid
Drug Co. of Albion, Mich, and sold by
all druggists, at one dollar per package.

GOV. LUCE'S VIEWS ON THE CUR
RENCY QUESTION.
EDITOR CoLDwATER COURIER:

EDITOR COLDWATER COURIER:
Finding it impossible to answer at
length all the inquiries that are coming
to me in relation to my views upon the
currency question, | ask you to give
this place in your paper. Gov. Rich
has written to friends of mine that Gin
fluential republicans were very much
opposed to Gov. Luce because of his ut
terances on the silver question:" and i
believe this has stimulated some of these
inquiries. Among these influential
men" cannot be found farmer, manu-

the republican party, so that the "in-
fluential leaders" cannot represent more

book. was in at the birth of the re-
publican party, and from that day to
this have been faithful to its candidates
and loyal to its principles. Here are
my "utterances" upon the silver ques.
ton.
On the 9Th of July, 1898, Sec'y Haight
of the Michigan Club sent the following
questions to the members:
1st. ''Do you favor the repeal of the
silver purchasing clause?"
To which / answered, Eyes, upon
condition"
I'd. "Do you favor the issuance of
national bank circulation to the full
amount OF the par value of the govern
ment bonds securing the same?"
Ans. Il neither favor nor oppose
1t is not material"
Sd. "Do you favor the repeal of the
present tax on State bank circulation?"
Ans. "No."
4th. "Have you any suggestions to
make in this connections
Ans. 1.-The Sherman silver purchase
law is not responsible for but a small
fraction of the financial distress that is
now affecting the country. A simple
repeal of the purchasing clause without
definite adjustment of some of the
complicated questions involved will
leave the country in no better condition

ment. No race remains closer to its
type than the Austafrican. none de-
parts from it so constantly as the
Eurafrican. Wherever we find the un-
mixed white race we find its blonde
and brunette varieties, its prognathic
and orthognathic jaws, its long skulled
and short skulled heads"
Primal Home of the White Race.
The usual place assigned as the orig
nal home of the white race il Asia;
and this view is now held by some of
the older anthropologists and philolo-
gists. However, the evidence In late
years has been accommodating, and now
amounts to proof-as far as preponder-
ating probability can prove-that the
original home of the Eurafrican race
was in northern Africa and southern
Europe, or within the same area as that
assigned AS the place of origin of the
species. Brinton puts the case as fol-
lows:-
1--WE must search for the first abode,
the primitive AREA of characterization
Of the white race:
/. Where the most ancient residence
and greatest numbers were in earliest
historic times.
2. Where the prehistoric remains
prolong that residence most remotely
back.
3. Where the earliest forms of linguis-
tic structure continue to exist in large
communities.
4. Where the purest types are re-
tanned in considerable numbers.
B. Where the climatic conditions are
favorable to the physical traits of the
race.
If we can select a locality in which
all of these arguments unite the cumu-
lative evidence is so powerful that we
may consider the question settled"
Summing up the evidence on these
five points, Mr.. ..Brinton concludes that
northern Africa and southern Europe
are the only countries which can be
selected as coming within the conditions
named. In just what part of this large
area the race began is not known but
it is probable that the race spread over
this large area very early in the migra-
tons which began during the glacial
period. or before, and this may be
called its area of characterization, or
the area occupied by the white race
during the long period of the ice age,
and during which those traits were
fixed, distinguishing it from other
races. Indeed, it is not necessary to
suppose that the migrations started
from any one central point. 1t is more
probable to suppose that the original
homogeneous race occupied this large
area the climatic conditions and other
physical causes fixed the racial traits;
while by migrations to other areas
where these conditions were entirely
changed, the people were brought un-
der influences which, continued for
long ages, fixed the traits of the other
races.
The next two articles will be devoted re-
spectively to the south and north branches
of the Eurafrican or white race,

Types. he Libyc-Teutonic, the Cymric,

of c. aracterization.
Thy c. II. CHASE.

The leading race Of all history and
the chief factor in civilization is the
white or Eurafrican race. The Phoeni-
clan and Egyptian, the most ancient OF
history, were civilizations of this race;
aud coming down through the centu-
ries succeeding, the Grccian, Roman,
Teutonic. and Anglican have success
ively led the world. When it first APP
peared on the horizon of history it was
in possession of nine million square
miles of the habitable globe. OF this
an area OF two million five hundred
thousand was in Asia, three million in
Europe. and three million five hundred
thousand in Africa. These figures
as Mr.. Brinton says, "vindicate the
title have given it-Eurafrican" We
quote from Brinton on tyres Of the
white'rac
..Let us first define the characteristics,
physical and mental, of the white race.
The Libyo-Teutonic Type.
In one of its pronounced types, the
individuals are blondes, the eyes blue
or gray. the hair yellowish and wavy,
the beard full, the nose narrow and
prominent. the chin well defined, the
jaws straight, the skull long or medi-
UNI, the eyes narrow, the supra-orbital
ridges rather prominent, the face mod
erately oval.
This is the typical apl earance of the
ancient Goths. Teutons, and Scandina-
VANS, and of the modern Swedes and
Germans. 1t was also that of the an
cient Libyans, and is still present in
the greatest purity among their descend
ents in Morocco and Algiers; hence |
shall call call it the Libyo-Teutonic
type.
