Protect the Birds.

A New York millinery concern con-
tracted this spring with Delaware firm
to supply 10000 birds for women's hats,
the list consisting mainly of blue birds,
meadow larks red wing black birds and
baby owls. But as soon as the under
taking was made public such an out
purst of indignation followed all through
the east that the contract was CANCEL ed,
There is no doubt but that the sentiment
against the killing of birds for millinery
purposes is rapidly growing. The bet
ter class of women, those of recognized
culture and refinement, are unanimously
committed against it; it is the cheaper
grade of trade that keeps the practice
alive, and this would not long continue
if it were not for the almost universal
efforts of the milliners to push trim
mings of that kind upon customers. A
poor trimmer can hide her own defects
of taste and skill by the use of a grace
full bird therefore she tells her patrons
they ought to have no scruples, that their
little individual protest cannot prevent
the killing of birds, and that hat can
be made more stylish by their use. So
a weak or inexperienced person can be
won over in spite of her objections. But
the tide has turned, and if the birds can
be kept from falling in numbers below
that point where they cannot hold their
own against their natural enemies there
is chance that the next century may
see them saved for their missions of
beauty and use on the earth. Whitewa-

THOUSANDS BEAR WITNESS.
To the Value of the Pyramid Pile Cure.

Thousands Of pile sufferers bear
witness to the inestimable value of the
Pyramid Pile Cure and even those who
have undergone surgical operations,
without cure have been happily sur
prlsed by results from n few weeks
treatment with the Pyramid.
The relief from pain and itching Is
almost instantaneous and the healing
oils and astringents contained in the
remedy gradually and naturally bring
about complete cure in any form of
piles, itching, protruding, internal or
bleeding.
Mr.. Archie Blrkett, of Ionia, Mich,
writes: II was troubled with piles so
bad, | had to quit work for "A while
! found no relief until l tried the
Pyramid Pile Cure, | used only two
applications and it cured me almost
instantly. I can truthfully recommend
the Pyramid Pile Cure to any sufferer
from piles"
Mr. Edward Dunellen, OF Wilkes
barre. Pa, says: For seven years |
was scarcely ever free from the itch
ling torment of piles. / had used
ointments and salves without number
and oftentimes got relief from them,
but 1t took the Pyramid Pile Cure to
make n complete cure and 1t did it
thoroughly and for eighteen months
l have not had the slightest trace of
piles. | feel all the more rejoiced be,
cause some of my friends told me
would never be cured unless | submit
ted to surgical operation and this l
felt never could do"
Mrs Aaron Medron, of Savannah,
Ca, writes: Ever since the birth OF
my first child, six years ago, I have
suffered greatly from piles and rectal
troubles, could not bring myself to
bear the thoughts of surgical opera.
tion and had always been prejudiced
against patent medicines.
But 1t was simply case of try
something CT give up entirely and SO
having often seen the Pyramid Pile
Cure advertised ! determined to try
1t and for two years have never ceased
to congratulate myself that I did so
for have been entirely cured of rec
tai troubles and two packages Of the
Pyramid removed every trace of the
piles This may sound far fetched and
over-drawn but 1t is absolutely true"
The Pyramid Pile Cure contains no
cocaine, opium, nor any injurious
drug whatever, and is absolutely safe,
painless and effective.

Of this remedy for so cents.

There is talk among the Republican
leaders of reduction of the war taxes
by some $2O,O0OOO0 per annum-that
being the estimated excess Of the reve,
nues OF the Federal government over
expenditures for the current fiscal
year. Chairman Payne, of the House
Committee on Ways and Means, has
had consultation with President
Mckinley on the subject, and will call
a meeting of the committee to map
out n program for the ensuing session
of Congress. No preliminary under
standing has been arrived at as to
which of the specific taxes are to he
remltted, but 1t may be taken for
granted that the influences that can
support the most powerful lobby at the
national capital will be the chief gain
ers. The common people will have no
lobby.
