wHIMS OF KINGS AND QUEENS

The German emperor does not like long sermons, and the court chaplains are obliged to condense their dis courses so that the delivery will only consume 15 minutes.
 The king of Sweden sets aside ev- cry second Tuesday on which anyone of his subjects may call on him. The only formality required is to send in ones card, the visitors being received when their turn comes in the order of arrival.
 King Christian of Denmark loves to Fomp with his grandchildren and he may often be seen seated in diminu- tive pony carriage, trusting himself to the care of very youthful coach man. or he sometimes acts as tho willing horse of very young driver.
 Margherita, queen of Italy, al though not ostensibly in favor of equal suffrage, does all she can to encourage women's work The gold medals recently presented to her la- dies in waiting who have completed SC years of service were designed by q woman.
 King Oscar of Sweden has had his life insured, the premium being ST. 900 kroner (s1O,36O) per year. He was Fl years old on January 21. The king still retains his love for the sea. to which he was apprenticed in his youth, and every August he makes a long cruise along the bold and TO- mantle coast of his northern king dom.

-unequalness, injustice, not accord ing to the law of right, and therefore unbeautiful.
 There are some special words which may be said to hold the secret of beouty in a life. One is ''victoriousness." Many people let themselves be de- feated almost habitually. It begins in childhood. The lessons are hard, and the child does not master them. It costs exertion to succeed in the games, and the boy indolently con- cludes that he cannot win, and does not do his best. The girl finds that she cannot play her exercises on the piano without a great deal of tire some practice and lets herself be de- feated. It is hard to restrain temper and appetite in youth, and the young man gives up the struggle and yields to the indulgence. Thus at the very beginning the battle is lost, and oft times all life afterward carries the de- bilitating effect. Always duty is too large, and lessons are too hard, and discipline is too severe, and passion is too strong. To it's close the life is weak, never victorious, unable to cope with it's environments. It is a fatal thing to form in youth the habit of permitting ones self to be defeat ed. Life then never can be what it might have become.
 On the other hand, when the lesson of being victorious is learned in child hood, all is different. Studies are mas tered; exercises are played over a hundred times, if need be, till they are played accurately; games are not indolently lost for want of exertion. Later in life, when the lessons are larger and the discipline is sorer, and the tasks require more labor, and the battles test the soul to it's last par ticle of strength, the habit of over coming still avails and the life is ever victorious. The thought of giving up is never entertained for a moment. The Indians say that, when a man kills a foe, the strength of the slain enemy passes into the victor's arm. Tn the weird fancy lies truth. Each defeat leaves us weaker for the next battle, but each conquest makes us stronger.
 Nothing makes a prison to human life but a defeated, broken spirit. The bird in it's cage that sings all the while is not captive. God puts his children in on conditions in which He does not mean them to live sweetly and victoriously. So in any circum- stances we may be "more than con- querors through Him that loved us." J. R. Miller.

A Certnin Curc for PIIss.

The Pyramid Pile Cure is a success be-
cause il las the merit which brings sue
cess. II cures every form Of piles and
cures them to stay cured. 1t is now the
most popular and best known pile remedy
before the public. and one reason for its
great popularity is because IL has taken
the place OF surgical operations, once con-
sidered the only sure cure.
People often wonder that so simple a
remedy will so promptly cure such an
obstinate trouble as piles are well known
to be- Yet the greatest remedies and
greatest inventions we have are the sim
blest, and the fact that il does cure is all
the sufferer from piles wants to know.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures piles in
any stage OF the disease as shown by the
following testimonial letters which are
published every week and new cases ie-
ported each time:
From George G. Geick, Owens Mil, Mo-:
Some time ago ] bought a package Of
Pyramid Pile Cure for my wife who had
suffered very much. The first trial did her
more good than anything she had ever
tried. 1t is just as represented.
From Richard Loan, Whipple, Ohio: 1
have used the Pyramid and am entirely
pleased and satisfied with results. Ii does
the work and no mistake.
Mr.. W. r. Hines. OF Magnolia, Ark.
says: Although l have used the Pyramid
Pile Cure only very short time. yet it
has been very beneficial to me.
From Mrs. Peter Lake. Mohawk. n. Y:
/ received the Pyramid Pile Cure, but put
of using il until last week. when ] be-
came so bad I decided to try it. I have
suffered twenty-nine years with bleeding
piles and have used a great deal OF medi
cine, but never had anything that did so
much for me as your remedy.
The prOprietOrs Of this remedy could
publish columns OF similar letters to the
above II necessary, but these are enough
to show what il will do in different cases.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by
the Pyramid Drug Co.. Marshall. Mich,

tcient to cure any ordinary case. Your

the house is an old frame structure and
scantily cross beamed, the planking formed
an excellent conductor Of the knocks. The
jealous lover has pursued Miss Hovey with
his attentions for some time and the rap

the repulse OF his suit.
Last night at the Hovey house there
were no rappings but one of the spiritual
