OF itching piles.
Many physicians for a long time supposed
that the remarkable relief afforded by the
Pyramid Pile Cure was because il was sup

Vile great foes of ice forced their way
through the cutoff. acting as a double

away there will be nothing TO offer "a re-
sistance to the strong and sweeping current
that is bound to flow through such a short

become a reality, it will leave 1850 acres of
land between il and Evansville, owned by
the McClain estate, Bona Hill, Mrs. Ben

several others with smaller holdings. Those
owning the land through which this cutoff
goes are not making any objection what

they are of the opinion that 1t will increase
their remaining acres in value.

TUATION IMPROVING.
The Mississippi Continues to Fall mt
Memphis-ReIief Work.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, March 27.-The gauge
at Memphis tonight registers 1914 feet, a
fall of two-tenths of a foot. The condition
is all the more favorable because the river
is falling above. The serious phase of the
situation has been transferred to Green
vile. Helena and points south, as the river
Is slowly rising at these places and great
alarm is manifested The feeling in and
around Memphis is more cheerful than at
any time since the distressing conditions
began to be felt. The members of the relief
committee still have their hands full pro-
viding for the want of the refugee here
and the sufferers who are being relieved
through the relief stations established at
several points along the river. The plan of
sending supplies TO those refugees in the
neighborhood of relief stations instead of
bringing more people TO the city is proving
satisfactory. The relief work here in the
city will be systematized still further
from this time on, as many of the
negro refugees "A already been quar-
tered in Camp Congo. The rest will
be comfortably established there as soon as
they can be collected and transported.
Every arrangement has been made for
their health and comfort.

THE ALASKAN PROBLEM.
An Agricultural and Geological Survey Of
the Territory to Be Made.

An Agricultural and Geological Survey OF
the Territory to Be Made.
The Secretary Of Agriculture has decided
to send q commission to Alaska for the pur.
pose of making what may be termed an
agricultural and geological survey OF the
Territory. His object Is to ascertain how
far the inhabitants can be made self-sup-
porting, to ascertain what food products
can be grown there, and what can be done
to encourage a native meat supply as a sub.
stitute for the reindeer and the seal, which
have been the chief means Of subsistence to
the natives. There Is a general knowledge
that q little wheat and corn and potatoes
have been grown on the coast, and that the
season Is long enough to allow other hardy
vegetation to mature. But the rapid In
crease of population and the cost Of i'm
porting supplies is Offering a very serious
problem to the Alaskans, and 1t Is believed
that information that may be gathered and
published during the present season will
be utilized by the people next year. Along
the coast the climate Is quite mild, and
Secretary Wilson believes that on the PEN
insulas that extend into the sea the soil Is
sufficiently fertile, and that other condi-
tions are suitable for the production OF
regular crops Of hardy grains and vege-
tables. The commission will consist Of DR..
Seton Jackson, who has charge Of Gov
eminent schools In Alaska and knows more
about that territory than any other man;
Professor W. q. Evans, OF the botanic divi-.
sion OF the Department OF Agriculture, and
Professor B. Killen, Of Oregon. The latter
gentleman Is an sll-round scientist and a
practical farmer. He Is one Of the regents
of the agricultural college OF the State, and
Is sufficiently familiar with both the ami
nal and vegetable kingdoms to enable him
to make q report Of great value.

Cod Stands 8t ThrHshOld,

In Holman Hunts great picture called
"The Light OF the World,' We see One with
patient, gentle face, standing at a door
which is UNCOVERED, as II long closed. He
is girt with the priestly breastplate. He
bears in His hand the lamp Of truth. He
stands and knocks. There is no answer,
and He still stands and knocks. His eye
tells of love; His face beams with yearning.
You look closely and you perceive that there
Is no knob or latch on the outside OF the
door. It can be opened only from within;
God comes to your hearts door and knocks.
He stands there while storms gather and
break upon His unsheltered head, while the
sun declines and night comes on with Its
chills and its heavy dews. He waits and
knocks, but you must open the door your
self. The only latch Is inside.-J. R. Miller,
