A GREAT REMEDY
For Sufferers From Piles.

\
DR.. Redmond. q specialist in the
study and treatment OF piles and rec
tai diseases. recently stated that the
Pyramid Pile Cure, the new discov-
cry for the cure OF piles. was the
most remarkable remedy he had ever
seen or tried in one respect. and that
was the instant relief experienced in
all cases, no matter how severe,
from the moment the remedy was
applied. This was the more sur
prising to him because he had care
fully analysed the preparation and
no trace Of opium, cocaine or similar
poison could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor
upon the Pyramid Pile Cure. because
it is rapidly taking the place of sur.
gical operations and because it is &C
simple, SO easily applied and con
tains no mineral or other poisons &c
commonly used in pile cures.
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the
Pyramid Pile Cure not only cures the
various forms of piles, but never
fails to give immediate relief on the
first application. no matter how &C.
we're the pain or discomfort may be
People who have suffered from
piles for years are often astonishec
at the instant relief experienced from
the first application. Another i'm
portant advantage is the fact that
anyone can use the remedy without
detention from business or interior
ence with daily occupation. Sold by

WHEAT FOR EUROPE.

Demand Upon This Country PrObn.
bly, Greater Than the supply
Chicago, Dec. 1.-The Times-H
says: Wheat last week advanced 7a8c
per bushel, and on Saturday touched
the best prices on the crop, 80 3-Sc for
December and IS 7-8c for May. The
incentives during the week were chief
~ foreign ones, particularly the numer-
GUS estimates made abroad as to the
extent TO which Europe would need to
call upon America for wheat supplies.
All these figures were startling, the
estimate which put the European re-
quirements from America at II ,OOO, 900
bushels per month up to Aug. /, as
well as the other one which computed
the Atlantic side would furnish 1O4,-
100000 bushels during the balance of
the crop year, and those others who re-
duced the necessities a little, but which
kept them still over any total believed
to be possible by the statisticians on
this side. Exports in five months,
wheat and flour, have reached 8O,OOO,-
600 bushels, and the European esti-
mates are for exports during the next
seven months at rate even faster
than this. That seems beyond the ca
pacity of this side.

CLOTH WINDOWS.
4 Substitute for Glass, Which Never
Leaks and Will Not Break.

Z Z. = r 4 :
Substitute for Glass, which Never
Leaks and Will Not Break
Windows of cloth, instead of glass,
sounds like an impossibility, andyet it
IS reality, and the employment or
such a substitute is an acknowledged
success. 1t is not ordinary cloth, but a
translucent, through which light comes,
just as through glass. To all intents
and purposes the cloth window is SINH
Lar to the sheets of glass, and lasts
ever so much longer. while still having
just as good an appearance.
Now, the remarkable feature Of the
new fabric is that it never leaks, does
not break, and is nearly one-third
cheaper than glass. A large skylight
composed of the new substitute for
glass, which has been in constant use
long enough to show its worth, remains
in perfect condition, not one cent hav-
ing been spent on it for repairs
The material has many advantages
claimed for it, chief of which is that by
it's employment in train sheds, freight
houses, large auditoriums and public
buildings having skylights of large
area, the light weight of the material
permits of simple, inexpensive and
light form of skylight construction.
The joints are made water-tight by a
special method used with this material.
The translucent fabric consists of
transparent material spread over steel
Wire cloth, with twelve meshes per
inch, which gives the panels flexible,
and elastic quality, permitting its adj
Justment to any shape that the roof
structure may take owing to the ex-
pansion or contraction, of the frame
work. The fabric is, strong, and is
made in panels, 1Sx36 inches in size,
and can carry a weight of over 400
pounds per square foot.
1t might be naturally assumed that
the translucent qualities of the fabric
would be much inferior to that of
glass; but careful comparison has
shown that the amount Of light which
it transmits equals that Of ribbed glass
one-quarter of an inch thick. AS it is
treated with a special preparation, the
fabric is imperyious to cindefs, and
even hot Goals dropped upon it, and
will burn only when set fire to at the
edges. Even then the flames make
slow progress, thus furnishing timely
warning.
Another argument in its fayoris. that
it is greatly superior to even the finest
glass as acoyering for art galleries and
studios, for the reason tina t: it, will new
Ell leak, and therefore serves as a per-
feet protection to the valuable works of
art. Sometimes a heavy deposit Of
snow serves to crack the. strongest
glass skylight, and often INJURIES paint
ings and tapestries beyond restoration.

CLEVELAND MAY BE DEAN.

Rumor That He Will BE Head Of
Princeton Law School
New York, Dec. President Cleve-
lands purchase of home in Prince
ton. n. j., and the announcement he
will make his home there after he re-
tires next March has been received
with joy by seyery one in Princeton,
and particularly by the faculty of the
university, who have the idea the ores
ident intends to identify himself with
Princeton's great institution. He is, so
the rumor goes, to become dean of the
Princeton law school. When the pro-
ject of becoming dean of the school
was preached to him he regarded it
favorably. Mrs. Cleveland. too. thought
well of the project. She liked the uni
versity air that surrounded the place.
the society, and the opportunity her
husband would have of identifying his
name with that of great seat Of
learning. Then. too, she looked upon
it as the most dignifed position an .ex-
president could possibly occupy. Be
sides. there was a precedent for it, ex-
President Harrison having occupied a
similar position with the Leland Stan
ford university in California.

Possible Legislation.

Washington. Dec. lit is not prob
able that the house at the coming ses-
sion Of congress, which begins next
Monday. can dispose of much Of the
proposed legislation which cucumber
its calendars. Little is usually accom-
plished at the short session beyond
the passage of the regular supply bills.
Still the house, with its Instrumental
ties for the expedition of business, can
accomplish great deal in a brief time.
The question Of legislation for addi-
tional revenues for the government
will depend on the senate, to which
body the house sent the Dingley bill
almost year ago. Should it be i'm
possible OF be deemed inexpedient to
press that measure through the senate.
there is, Of course, possibility that
the proposal tn increase the revenues
by an additional tax on beer or the
imposition of a duty on ten, coffee, etc,
may take tangible form.
