STATISTICS ABOUT BIRDS.
Agricultural Department Compiling
Facts ON the Yellow Throat.

Agricultural Department Compiling
Facts ON the Yellow Throat.
One OF the most interesting features OF
the work of the statisticians of the De-
partment CT Agriculture is the compiling
OF the statistics relating to the distribu-
tion of the birds throughout the United
States. This is included in the general
compilation on the various natural areas
OF the country and the plant and animal
life to be found therein. There are some
birds that inhabit all parts of the country
and it is with one of these that the de-
partment is now engaged.
The Maryland yellow throat it is called
and is very common, despite the fact that
the general public knows little of the spe-
cies. The bird is found in every section
of the United States, from Canada to the
Gulf. and from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
1t comes in several varieties. the most
common of which is about the size Of an
English sparrow. II is very pugnacious
and will defend what it regards as its
rights with its life. That probably explains
why the bird has not been exterminated
by the pestiferous sparrow.
The yellow throat was so named on ac-
count Of the thick yellow feathering of its
neck anu throat IN some cases the yell
low feathers extend all the way down its
body. but in the common variety 1t is only
the throat which is colored The remain
der Of the bird is dark gray. shading to
light under the wings and between the
legs. Its bill is rather long and very sharp
and its head is small. The bird belongs to
the warbler family and is a great help to
the agriculturists in keeping their fields
clear of pestiferous insects. The species
breeds very fast and when on the wing 1t
is often mistaken for the English spar
row. although the wings are different in
shape and the body is Of different color

The Director of the Census Is in receipt
of several propositions from capitalists
who would erect a building. but none Of
the offers. 1t Is said, is thoroughly salts

In about one year the number Of Census
employees at Washington will be 5000. For

aggregate weight OF these cards will be
$50 tons, and the space required for their

square feet. This will allow the cards to
be stacked about as high as the average
man can reach.
One of the great aims of the Census Of

will weigh 5000 pounds. and to handle
them twice a day means the carriage OF

One Person In Every Four Suffers
From PILES.

One Person IN Every FOuE SuhcTS
From PILES.
About one person in every four suffers
from some form Of rectal disease. Tho
most common and annoying is itching
piles, Indicated by warmth, slight moist
ure, and intense, uncomfortable itching in
the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some SIM
pie ointment or salve which sometimes
give temporary relief. but nothing like
permanent cure can be expected from such
superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for Itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pils
Cure. not only for itching piles, but for
every other form of piles. blind. bleeding.
or protrrding. The first application gives
instant relief and the continued use for
short time causes a permanent removal
Of the tumors or the small parasites which
cause the intense itching and discomfort
of itching piles.
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that tho remarkable relief afforded
by the Pyramid Pile Cure Was because lt
was supposed to contain cocaine. opium,
or similar drugs. but such is not the cass.
A recent cnreful analysis of the remedy
showed II to be absolutely free from anS

injurious drugs whatever Sold BIZ drug
