Remarkable Success of New Pile
Cu"c.
People who have suffered for months or
years 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 a cure of all forms
of piles known under the name of Pyramid
Pile Cure: nevertheless the extraordinary
cures performed by this remedy are such
as to warrant the investigation of any suf-
ferer AS "A ease in point, the following
letter speaks for itself.
Mr. Henry Thomas, of substation No. 8.
Hosack Avenue, Columbus, Ohio. writes as
follows:

because it is so safe and pleasant to use.
being painless and applied at night. The
patient is cured in a surprisingly short
time and with no Inconvenience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at so 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 eifectually
remove the costive condition. Price of pills
is 25 cents per package.

1t does not seem as ii nature could
achieve greater extremes in the way of
weather than the samples she furnished
us on blizzard Monday and on yesterday,
when the skies were as blue and the air
as balmy-almost-as day in June The
business thoroughfares were alive with
spring shoppers throughout the morning
hours and the several receptions and teas
were largely attended in the afternoon.
The most notable social event OF the
afternoon was the tea given by Madame
Godoy. wife of the Charge d'Affairs of
Mexico, from to g. which was attended
by a brilliant representation from the
official and diplomatic world The hostess,
gowned in pink brocade that contrasted
becomingly with her dark hair and eyes,
was assisted in receiving by Madame
Calvo. wife of the Minister from Costa
RiCa; Madame Leger. wife of the Minister
from Haiti: Mrs. Hill. wife of the Assis-
tant Secretary Of State, Mrs. and Miss
Humphreys Mrs. MeNia, Mrs. Charles G.
Duln and Miss Canalizo. of New York,
who is Madame Godoy's sister and guest
The beautiful rooms were thrown open
and beautifully decorated with flowers and
palms. Pink roses rising from a mound
of farleyeuse ferns formed the centre
piece of the tea table and the candles
burned under pink shades. An orchestra
stationed in the conservatory furnished
music throughout the receiving hours,
which were from TO 6.

Killed by Ants.

An exchange tells of man In Aus
tralia who was killed by ants. Such
an occurrence is said not to be very un-
common in that country. 1t is describ-
ed as more dreadful than the horrors
devised by the most ingenious of the
Grand Inquisitors.
The man We prospector, and while
digging in tn side of hill was in
jured by fall of earth. AS he lay
partly covered and unable to move he
was attacked by nest of ants, and for
more than an hour millions of the vor-
acious insects simply fed upon him.
He died shortly after being rescued.
There Is a case on record of a Ballar-
at woodcarter who was found under
his overturned dray, suffering fearful
torments. He had been attacked by
ants. and would certainly have sue
cumbed had 1t not been for his dog.

II want to make suggestion about

rather about not carrying one. Any
one who tries it Is bound to buy lot
of compasses because they are always
deranged by the jolting of the wheel.
The best thing for tourists who want
to make charts is to remember the
good old-fashioned trick Of using a
watch for a compass. Point the hour
hand in the direction of the sun and
no matter what time of day 1t is, half
way between the hour hand and the

Result of Short skirts.

A man who boasts of being great
observer says that one thing which
the short bicycle skirt has done is that
of making women more careful about
the neatness of their footgear. He
comments that while dainty shoes are
ruling passion with some women,
there are many others. who though
fashionable and fastidious in most
things, are slovenly about their foot
wear. The bicycle skirt has taught
so many of these the habit of being
particular in this respect not only on
a wheel, but at all times, he says that
there is a much better average of neat
ness to be noticed on the avenues.
