Where the King W~Orships.
1 spent some time in the wonderful Budd-
hist temples of Bangkok. There was one
right next to the palace OF the king IN
which his majesty daily worships during
his stay in his capital. This temple has a
spire hundreds of feet high made of coil
after coil of masonry plated with gold;
There is, l was told. more than SlOO,OVl
ebony inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and 1t
is lighted with candles of all sizes, some as
big around as your finger, others OF the
size of your waist. These candles are IN
candlesticks plated with gold. They will
burn for weeks and their ~tiickering names
are supposed TO dispose of a multitude OF
sins. In this temple there is one room the
floor of which is covered with a carpet or
woven silver wire. Its chief idol is the
famed emerald god.
This god is about a foot high. 1t is made
of pure gold. mixed with jewels. 1t Is set
with diamonds, topazes, sapphires and ru-
bies. and it represents a vast amount OF
money. The idol Is placed high up above
the floor of the temple, almost under the
roof. 1t is so high that it is hard to APP
preciate its value, but so holy that the
king bows before it every morning, and
the hundred ladies of the harem come in
now and then, and, bending their naked
knees upon the cold floor, pray to II. Siam

by all odds the finest buildings in Bang
kok. The contributions to them and the
priests do much to keep the people poor.
There is no city of the world that has so
many Buddhist priests as Bankok. Siam
Is the home of Buddhism and Bangkok is
the central station for its worship. There
are 5000 Buddhist priests in the city.
These are of all ages, from 16 to so, and
the religion is such that any Siamese man
can be a priest If he chooses. Every Siam
csc man is expected to become a priest for
a certain part of his life, n King Chula-
ongkorn has, l am told, served two terms
in the priesthood. This being a priest
changes a mans relations to his fellows for
the time. He is then considered holy to his
family as well as to others. 1 saw mothers
bowing down to their boys sons who were
acting as priests. The priests shave their
heads. They go about with nothing but
yellow strips of cloth wound around them,
relying upon the gifts of the people for
food. They have certain times in the morn
ing and evening during which they go from
house to house for rice. The people bring
out the rice in pots. ready cooked. When
the priests come along they drop on their
knees. and, folding their hands, as though
praying, they ask the priest to accept their
gifts. / was told that the priests never
make direct requests for aims, and that the
offerings to a large extent are voluntary.

FOUR BOXES DID IT.
Remarkable Success of a New Pile
Cure,

Remarkable Success of a New Pile
Cure.
People who have suffered for years or
months from the pain and inconvenience
of that common disorder, piles. Will look
with skepticism upon the claims OF the
makers of the new discovery for cure OF
all forms of piles, known under the name
of Pyramid Pile Cure: nevertheless the ex-
traordinary cures performed by this rem
edy are such as to warrant the investiga-
ton of any sufferer. AS a case in point the
following letter speaks for itself:
Mr.. Henry Thomas, of substation No. 3,
Hosack Ave, Columbus. o. writes as fol-
lows:
GSntlemen:-I want you to use my name
If il will be of any use to you. l was so
bad with the piles that l lost work on that
account. Nothing did me any good. l read
in Cincinnati of the many cures of piles
by the Pyramid Pile Cure and l went to a
drug store and asked for it. The drug
clerk told me he had something else
that he thought was better, but l told linn
l wanted to try the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me so much that l
tried another and then to complete the
cure used two more boxes, making four in
all. l am now completely cured. Have not
a trace of piles and l had suffered for four
years with the worst form OF protruding
piles.
1 suffered death from piles, but I have
foundt the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just as
represented. 1 have commended IL to
several of my friends and l am thankful
to be able to write you what good the rem
edy has done for me-
Physicians recommend the Pyramid File
Cure because Ii contains no opium. cocaine
or mineral poison of any kind and because
1t Is so safe and pleasant to use, being
painless and applied at night. The patient
is cured I'm a surprisingly short time with
no Inconvenience whatever
The Pyramid Pile Cure l. sold by drug
gists at 30 cents per package. and If there
IS any constipation 1t is well to use the
Pyramid Pills at the same time with the
Pile Cure, as constipation is very often the
cause Of piles and the pills e~ffectually re-
move the costive condition. Price of pills is
. cents per package.

speaker. He said. that under the
Mckinley law, cattle cannot be i'm.
ported from Mexico as the tariff ID
pronibitive. He had started business
ia Arizona, in the dry season. which
forced him into Mexico. A Kansas
farmer. he said, was greatly benefited
by bringing cattle from Mexico to
Kansas, where they were fattened.
The cattlemen paid Kansas farmers
more for grain than the farmers could
make by raising cattle themselves.
Representative Curtis, Of Kansas,
asked for duty OF $40 per head on
cattle and 50 per head on calves. The
Kansas raisers and feeders, he said
were injured, not benefited, by the
importation of Mexican cattls.
