PILES ARE EASILY CURED,

Nature has provided a specific for
piles. 1t is the active principle of the
common buckeye. This principle is
extracted by a special process and in
combination with other remedies
forms Tabler's Pile Ointment.
This ointment cures nothing but
piles, but it cures blind, bleeding pro-
tubing piles every time. 1t makes
operations needless; cures when opera
tions fail. This is why physicians re-
commend it. Bottles 80 cents. In

St Louis is already branching out
for her annual exposition. Among her
plans already adopted for the improve
ment of the years accommodations
is that for vast coliseum, which will
seat 1000 and by flooring over the are
ma will accommodate 1900. This it
is thought will give the big Bridge
City the drop on the conventions that
require great seating capacity and put
her ahead of all rivals. The artistic
and mechanical departments are ar
ranging for the introduction of much
new matter and the attractions and
convenienCes will be multiplied in ev-
cry way. st. Louis is the only city
in the United States that has success
fully maintained yearly exposition
for a long series of years and imprOv-
ed it'as the years grew.

Mrs. Camuel Stamm of Logan
ton, Pa, bore her thirty-four years
of suffering with courage and forti-
tude. Her trouble was rheumatism in
the knee. In consequence her limb
had become so stiff that she could
hardly walk. Mr.. Stamm issa well-to-
do merchant, and had spared no pains
or expense to relieve her, but with lit
tie success, until one night when it
grew so painful that she could hardly
endure it, he persuaded her to try
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The effect
was magical. The first application re-
lieved the pain, and its continued use
has removed all stiffness and given
her the free use of her limb once more
If you have a friend who is troubled
with rheumatism insist on their Civ
ing this remedy a trial. You can dc

give prompt relief, and if they are 8
little patient it will effect a cure. Fol

THREE HANDS ON ONE ARM.
Abnormal Developments of Young
Girl of Long Island City.


An. unusual case of abnormal develop
ment of the right arm of child has
been brought to the notice of the physi-
clans of the New York polytechnic hos
pital, in Thirty-fourth street. The child
has in her right arm two distinct
humeri, three ulnae, two radii and three
perfectly formed hands. The child
lives with her parents in Long Island
city and attends a public school there.
She is about IL years old. Both father
and mother are we'll developed and
neither possesses the slightest deform-
ity in their arms
Each of the child's hands has four
perfect fingers and each a perfect
thumb. Not only this, but every mus
Gle of every finger and thumb is under
the control of the girl. The girl has
been quite sensitive regarding her de-
formity. She is bright and studious,
but dislikes attending school because
she becomes so great curiosity among
her little classmates.
The removal of two of the hands is
under consideration. A shadowgraph
of the hands and arm, recently taken,
shows plainly the location of the bones.

HARD LINES EITHER WAY.

The enforced idleness Of the con-
victs in the New York prisons, owing
to there being no work allowed that
brings them into competition with the
free labor of the mills and factories,
is turning them to suicide by scores.
The emptiness Of their lives and the
vacuity of their minds proves too
much for their balance and they sue
cumb. The situation is reported as
terrible, and the poor victims Of their
own crimes are kept in their cells for
fear of a general mutiny that may
cost scores of lives. This cOnfine-
ment only increases the tendency to
insanity and the evil grows. Where
it will end the philanthrOpiSt of the
present cannot even conjecture. The
situation is puzzling the best thought
of the preachers and the legislators as
well as the jurists of the state. After
all these years of SO-called civilization
by chriStianizatiOn this is the result
and 10 one knows what to do with
the criminal classes. That there is
a way of preventing Me breeding of
criminals, in great degree, does not
seem as yet to have crossed the hOr-
lion of the Legislative mind. Some
day it will and things will be improv-
ed. The proper way of treating Grim
inals is only being crudely experiment
ed with The fact will some day he
accepted that the remedy must be-
gin farther back than with the long
term sentence the prisoner. That
investigation into the. causes Of his
criminality and to whal extent his
criminal tendencies are fixed will be
the beginning of better manner of
treatment, is already accepted, but the
investigation is not authoritative or
conducted with a definite plan of rem
edy in sight Criminal tendencies are
the thing to correct, and if not cor
receive then the criminal should be re-
strained his liberty and prevented be-
getting children in his own criminal
likeness. This is so plain and OBJ
vious that it is a wonder that the wis
dom of the pears have not done some
thing to put it into practical operation.
That there is today no alternative be-
tween bringing prison labor in con-
tact with free labor and undermining
that free labor, and shutting the con-
Wet up in idleness that induces insan-
ity, is not pleasant conclusion. This
is all that the world of philanthropy
has reached. however, and the next
step in the puzzle of the ages of cor
rection is not yet apparent

There is no doubt that much of the
chatter as to pure cheek of the Greek
movement is utterly void of reason.
There is nothing in the situation to
Justify the charge of insincerity on
their part. They believe that left to
themselves they could whip the Turk
out of Crete and hold it as a part of
that Greece to which it formerly be-
lOnged. Others think that way too.
