THE HoRsELEss CARRIAGE.
~ Is ns Yet n Somewhat Imperfect
Mechanism.


The opinion at the present time OF
those best fitted TO judge of the future
of the motor carriage is as follows:
Steam will probably be used and IL will
be generated by means of liquid fuel.
1t will be necessary to invent suitable
air-condensers to obviate the clouds of
steam, and to provide means of dispos-
ing cf the smoke and cinders. This
opinion is based upon the soundness of
our knowledge of the properties of
steam and upon its steadiness of action
under definite conditions. 1t is not be-
licved by the chief authorities that the
practical motor carriage can be male
very light; and il is not thought, for
instance. that light motor can be made
which would he u serviceable attach
ment for an ordinary bicycle to assist
the rider to mount hills or even to take
part in the propulsion over level, smooth
roads. Such motors undoubtedly can be
made, but they are not fitted for every
day use. In the first days of the popu-
larity OF the bicycle hundreds of in
renious inventions were made for in
creasing the range of the machine. The
tendency was to make all the parts as
light as possible. Longer experience hns
shown that complicated mechanism
does not stand the wear and tear of
daily use. The modern machine has
been shorn Of mnnysso-caued improve
ments, and its weight has begun to in
crease. for it has been found that ma
chimes weighing less than 20 pounds are
not serviceable on common roads. The
motor carriage of the future will prob
ably initiate the bicycle in its rubber
tires and ball bearings; it viii have q
very respectable weight, and it will re-
Guire smooth road.--Prof. John Trow-
bridge, S. d.. in Chautauquan.

will be the most representative body
of men ever assembled, for upwards of
100 countries will be represented by

banks established all over the coun-
try" said Postmaster-General Gary,
the other day, "and | hope to be able
to get legislation through congress to
that effect. Such banks might be
founded in connection with two per
cent. bond issued by the government,
and might result in these bonds being
held by the people in every part of the
country. Every man that held bond
would be n patriot. There would be
no more borrowing money from En-
gland, and there would be millions
who would save who are not saving

Remarkable Success of New Pile
Cure,

People who have suffered for years or
months from the pain and inconvenience
of that common disorder, piles, VIII look
with scepticism upon the claims OF the
makers OF the new discovery for cure
of ALI forms Of piles, known under the
name of Pyramid Pile Cure; neverthe-
less the extraordinary cures performed
by this remedy are such as to warrant
the investigation of any sufferer. AS
case in point, the following letter
speaks for itself:

as follows:

that he had something else that he

to several Of my friends, and l am
thankful TO be able 10 write you wha'
good the remedy has done for me.
Physicians recommend the PYRAMID
Pile Cure because IL contains no opium
cocaine, or mineral poison OF any KIND
and because 1t is so safe and pleasant
to use, being painless and applied al
night. The patient is cured In a sur
prislngly short tirse with no inconve-
nience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at so cents per package. ana II
there is any constipation 1t Is well 70
use the Pyramid Pills at the same time
with the pile Cure, as constipation Is
very often the cause Of piles, and the
pills effectualy remove the costive con-
dltion. Price Of pills Is 25 cents pei
