Sufferers from Piles Ray Learn Of a
Harmless, Lasting Cure.

There are plenty Of pile cures which
give relief and sometimes cures q nild
case of piles, but there is only one which
can besdcpended upon with certainty to
cure obstinate, long-standing cases and
that is the Pyramid Pile Cure.
Endorsements and testimonials are re-
ceived daily from men and women whose
integrity and reliability are a1ove ques.

ceived from the Rev. Jas. II. Wesbrook,
of Bovine, Mich, may be of interest TO
pile sufferers who have sought in vain for
a cure. He says:

Mr.. Frank Smith, the we'll known and
popular druggist of Ypsilanti, Mich, in
speaking of the Pyramid Pile Cure, says
"a yearago 1 sold G. g. Potter, ll9
Hamilton st Ypslanti Mich, a bottle
of the Pyramid Pile Cure. He made the
following statement to me today: "I
have been troubled for twenty years with
itching piles. Have tried nearly every-
thing that promised. relief, but got very
little help until one year ago l called on
my druggist, Frank Smith, and got box
of the Pyramid Pile Cure. The one box
used according to directions was, In my
case, perfect cure as u year spent with
out any symptoms of the trouble has con-
vinced me-"
Although comparatively new remedy,
its popularity is such, that all druggists
now sell 1t: If your druggist hasn't 1t in

Poiaoned Her Rrond.

1t has been claimed by observers OF
birds that some of the feathered tribe
will feed their young II they are Gagged,
and If they fail after certain time to
release them they will bring them
poisoned weed to eat, that death may
end their captivity. About week ago
at the Holstein ranch, in Nevada, the
children captures the nest of three
young orioles, and they were imme-
diately Gagged and hung in a tree. The
mother. was soon about calling her
young, and in a little while brought
them some worms. She continued feed
ing them regularly for several days
without seeming to pay much attention
tc persons about, But on Sunday came
the tragic ending that demonstrated
the theory relative to birds. She
brought them sprlg of green on SUM-
day morning and disappeared. In less
than an hour they all died. The sprig
was examined and proved to be the
deadly larkspur, weed that will kill
sull-grown cattle. The little creatures
lay dead in the cage and slightly foam
Ing at the mouth, victims of their
mothers stern resolve that her off,
spring should die by her own act rather
than live in captivity.

HIS COMRADE HAD SEEN HIM


ters came regularly, bright, CHEEKY let
ters, telling only the happy side of army
life, and then with his regiment he
went into the battle Of Gettysburg, but
three days later, when the roll was
called Nathan's name was among the
300 that did not respond. A comrade
had seen him fall, shot in the head,
and as his name never appeared in any
hospital list or among prisoners par
oiled or exchanged, the supposition be-
came reality In the minds Of his
friends that he occupied one of the un-
known graves so hastily dug on the
field at the close of the second days
fight. Accepting this belief, his moth
er mourned him as dead, and as the
years went by she continued to grieve
over her loss, lamenting sorely that
she had been denied even the pleasure
On cdfIns Ior mas grave. Instead OF
softening her, her afiiiction seemed TO
cause her to grow hard and selfish, and
every year she lived more and more to
herself, stunning her neighbors and
refusing all their well menat sympathy
and kindness. Regardless OF her press
ing need, she steadily refused to ap-
ply for the pension which rightly be-
longed TO her. 1T is blood money"
she insisted, blood money, and do you
think | could use such-the price OF
my boys life?"
But instead Of dying from the wound
received In his head, Nathan had been
carried to hospital, where for months
and months he lay lowering between
life and death. At last he was given
back to life, but regardless of the fair
state Of health TO which he was re-
stored. he was not himself. 1t could not
be said that he was insane, but to him
all the past was like dream. He had
no distinct recollection OF his early
home, and could not recall even his
own name or tell to what regiment he
belonged. The surgeons thought that
Ia time his memory of the past would
be restored TO him, but 1t was not.

The Rnntpen Light.

Amidst the agitation over the Nerez-
uelan question, the war news in Europe
and the important happenings in domcs-
tic politics, the New York Sun is one Of
the few great American journals, and the
only one so far as we have noticed that
devotes large space in its.cable dispatches
to the great discovery of the new photo
graphic agent which photographs through
wood, iron, flesh and other Opaque sub
stances. Each Sunday now for several
weeks the Sun has had a cable dispatch
on the latest aspects Of the great dis
covery.
From its latest dispatches we learn of
this momentous and epoch-making ad-
vance in science that iron is transparent
to the rays of the new agent and that
bullets imbedded in the human system
have already been located by means cf
the camera.
To the great astonishment Of the exrer-
imenters it was found that metallic OBJ
jects exposed to Rontgen's rays show in
the Photographic reproduUti ms all in
equalitics that exist in the structure Of
metals, such as fractures and cavities.
This quality theorists recognize as being
due to the great sensitiveness of the rays
to variations in thickness. All alloys or
composite metals-and most of those used
in the manufacture of arms are COM
posite-show on the Photographic plate
whether they are completely homogeneous
throughout and where and to what ex.
tent one metal for instance, zinc or cop
per in the so-called steel. bronze cannon,
has not thoroughly amalgamated with
another. Owing to the intensity of the
Photographic picture obtained by the new
rays carbon is readily distinguished from
iron, and hence 1t will be possible to
recognize the quality of iron or steel
The rays will also furnish a simple meth
od of control in the Bessemer process.
Thus, in addition to the Importance of
the discovery in diagnosis, we find we
have new and perfectly reliable method
of detecting flaws in metals when used in
(the arts for instance in car wheels piston
rods etc. j. and the significance of this
fact can be seen when the reader recalls
the famous accidents that have been
precipitated from this cause-for instance
the breaking of the shaft of the great
ocean stamer Gascogne, last year, which
delayed that vessel in mid-ocean for two
weeks.
Other great discoveries will undoubted-
ly hinge on the labelling of this new
agent. How far reaching the effect will
be can now only be guessed at But
already the results are of momentous i'm
portance.

A Confidence Association.

If there was ever doubt that the
National Association of Manufacturers
was formed for the purpose of promoting
legislation for the benefit of class at
the expense of other classes that doubt
has been removed.
The Chicago Chronicle says that in his
Openir g address before the convention of
this association in that city Tuesday,
President Dolan advocated such legisla-
tion to the exclusion of almost every
other topic which might be Of interest to
manufacturers. He even went to the ex-
tent Of suggesting, without plainly say
ing, that "alien manufacturers should
be wholly excluded from this country"
He asserted that our home market was
the best in the world, "and the most or
dinary considerations Of business prudence
should induce us to hold it fast, not sur
rendering any portion of it to foreigners
in thesvague hope that we may compen-
safe ourselves for the losses of such folly
by gaining. entrance to the markets. of
the world Of which we hear so much and
know so little. >" While pretending to favor
~
club he dealt even that small conces-
sion to commercial and Industrial liberty
a vicious blow by saying that "the mar
kets Of the world in which a manufactur-
ing nation can compete are already Occu-
pied by eager rivals, most of whom can
produce more Gheaply than we can"
. All this means that it is not the inten-
tion of the association to promote an ex-
port trade in manufactures by concerted
action for the purpose of max ing Rnown
the merits Of American goods and wares,
OF learning and catering TO the tastes of
foreign purchasers, Of perfecting the ma
chinery of trade and exchange 1t
means only that the intention is to bring
influences to bear on congress to secure
legislation calculated to make this coun-
try such as Japan was before an Ameri-
can naval officer battered down its doors
and forced it against its will into the
world of progress
This manufacturers association stands
confessed before the world as an organi-
zation Of greed and rapacity. If manufao-
turers were to organize for the purpose
Of promoting their interest by innocent
methods, such as the interchange and
dissemination of technical knowledge,
the impro cement Of process and the bet
terment of the means Of commercial inter
course at home and abroad their action
would be altogether laudable. But when
they organize for the principal or sole
purpose of procuring legislation which
will enable them to extract tribute from
their own oountrymen, Of playing a hugh
confidence game, with congress for pal,
they are deserving Of nothing but denun-
citation.

The.indictment by the Franklin county
grand jury of former members of the legis-
lature is. no less interesting than sensa-
tional The actions of certain mem bers
of the legislature has been stencil in the
nostrils of the people for years. 1t has
been the impression that money made the
bills pass and merit cut no figure Such
a state of affairs has been an outrageous
affront on the good name Of Ohio. Dur
ing the last campaign, Ex-Governor
Campbell made open charges of legisla-
tive corruption: he was sncered at in
some quarters Low that several lndiCt-
ments have been returned it will be ap-
parent that Mr. Campbell knew what he
was talking about. Now that the grand
jury has struck pay dirt, let it con-
tinue, the good work Expose the ras.
Cality all along the line. If democrats
are guilty let them suffer. 1t is high

ing administered it will have good
effect

The New Gas.

The new Illuminating gas, acetylene,
seems already to be in the grip of a trust.
A national company was formed soon
after its discovery and this national COM
pany has since been busy farming out
state and city rights to local companies,
which organize, give public exhibitions
and then sell stock in the local COM
panies This system introduces so many
middle men" between the man who
made the discovery and the buying public
that large part Of the profit which the
public expected to fall to the share of
consumers has already disappeared. Thus
the latest price quoted shows rise from
five to fifty cents per thousand cubic.fe
But according to a statement gwen out'by
the eminent Prof James Crafts of Bos-
ton (who, 1t is to he presumed is not a
hired mouthpiece for the trusts shows
that 1t can be produced at figure at
which 1t can be supplied to houses at 90
cents thousand feet. The idea will be
to have steel cylinders charged with the
gas at pressure of 800 to 700 pounds
to the square inch this is introduced into
the supply pipes through reducing
valve" Mercury seals will act as safety
valves 10 the cylinder, having an escape
pipe connected with the outside, as 4 per
cent. of acetylene in the atmosphere
makes it q most dangerous explosive.
On this account pipes will have to be
strengthened at the joints, possibly sol
dered, but there is no ammonia Fin the
gas TO eat away the grease Eat the stop
cocks to cause leakage there, as thel gas
does now.
OF course, as the Plttsburg Dispatch
says, the true test Of the availability for
general use of this new gas will be in its
act ual cost, but the Boston chemist says
1t will produce eight times better light
than gas. That is, five cubic feet of or
dinary Boston gas burned in Ian hour
produces what 25 candles would. The
same amount Of acetylene will produce
the light of 200 candles. 1 1t is aE.white,
clear, steady light approximating sun
light. One cylinder is estimated to sup
ply house of eleven rooms for three
months.
The possibilities which this new gas
will afford in the way of economy and
comfort should give the housewives
heart and strength to put up with, the
evils which the present gas system makes
possible, and base their hopes on the good
times coming.

battlefield.
He was a handsome, intelligent
youth, a mere boy, having just passed
his eighteenth birthday, and as he was
all that was left to his widowed moth
er, 1t was not at all strange that she
gave him up so reluctantly. A year
before, when the first call for volun-
teers reused the slumbering patriot
ism in hearts all over the north, Nathan
had been anxious to offer his services,
but his mother had refused her con-
sent, with the promise, however, that
IL he would wait until he was eighteen
her objection should not stand in his
way. Like hundreds Of others, she
long before the year was over, and
when she gave that promise she had
little fear that she would ever be called
upon to redeem 1t. But her word had
always been as good as her bond, and
when Nathan. had come again to her
on his eighteenth birthday, seeking her
permission to lay his life a sacrifice
upon his country's altar, with break
ing heart she told him to go, and when
at sight of her grief he began to waver,
she assured him that her blessing
would go with him.
Nathan inherited his patriotism as
well as his sturdy New England prin-
clples, for out in the little old-fash-
ioned graveyard on the hill there al
ready slept three generations of soldier
ancestors. His own father had been
with Taylor at Buena Vista during the
Mexican war in 1S47, and his grand
father had given his life in helping to
win Perry's victory upon Lake Erie in
the strife Of 1912. A generation earlier
his great-grandfathe had followed
Washington through the eight years
Of revolutionary struggles, and now, as
the descendant of such illustrious yeo-
men, Nathan dared not turn his back
on the call of his country-no, not
even If his patriotism should be sealed
with his blood. 81 understand all this;
I understand just how you feel on this

to him, after he had enumerated some
of the brave deeds of his forefathers,

the cowardice of the only one left to

strated Nathan. you know he says
