Steamers. on the Upper Congo.
IFrom the New York SUM-

lfrOm the new IO1k Oul-1
Twenty years ago Henry NJ Stanley,
who had reached Stanley Pool to begin
his five years work planting stations on
the river, launched the first steamer on
the waters OF the pool. It was the little
En- Avant of five tons burden. In the
twenty years that have since elapsed Eu-
rope has not failed in a single year to
send more steamers to ply on the great

been very prominent in the work Of ex-
ploration and Of occupation without
these steamers 1t would not have been
possible to start so many trading and
other stations. They could not, without
the steamers, have procured sufficient
supplies. The steamers also made It pos
sible to develop the ivory and rubber
trades, which have now reached large
Belgian enterprise has placed nearly
half Of these vessels on the river. The
fleet of the Congo Free State numbers
twenty-nfne vessels, and Belgian trading
rnpar1ies have nineteen steamers maxi

and controlled by Belgian enterprises

have four steamers in their service.
1t was a gigantic undertaking to trang-
port the first fifty steamers to the upper
river. They had to be carried piece by
piece on the backs of men. Not few Of
the larger vessels were diveded into more
than a thousand man loads; and after
these myriad pieces were unlOaded at
Stanley Pool months were required to
rivet them together and prepare the ves-
sci for launching
So nearly eighteen years were taken in
placing the first fifty steamboats, on the
upper river. A very different chapter in
Congo history has been written IN the
past two years, since the opening Of the
railroad from Matadi to Stanley Pool
Within the past tWenty-four months half
of the upper Congo fleet or fifty vessels
have been carried on the cars to the pool
While a month was required TO carry the
earlier boats over the mountains and
down into the valleys along the 235 miles
between the lower Congo and the pool, an
entire boat is now carried over the route
in two days. Thus the railroad has fa-
cilitated placing steamers on the upper
river: and now both railroad and steam
vessels are working together in the con-
mereiaI expansion Of the country.

BATHTUBs SHRINKING.

From the chicago Tr1Dune.l
While batntubs in their evolution are
strongly tending towards a great per-
lection in material, construction and 1T
tingS, they are most aSsuredly degener-
ating in size. AS real estate becomes
valuable and space more precious the
curtailment. This is particularly evil
denced in the new apartments that
used to be flats and once ''tenements."
The newer the apartment the smaller
the tub.
In the older apartments you find the
abomination-a zinc-lined tub, with
every part and appurtenance carefully
boxed in so that ventilation and clean
Illness is made impossible, and the tub
itself long and wide and deep enough TO
drown a bather who loosens his hold
Then. when the building is less an
Client. there is a copper-lined tub, a little
smaller than its predecessor with some
of the connecting pipes uncovered so
you can see the roads the reaches ana
croton bugs take to their secure hiding
places. After this comes the yet small
er all metal tub, with more or less I'M
certain lining of paint or something
more pretentious set so that there are
air and daylight around it, but with
pipes running in wooden tunnels used
as runaways by small vermin.
Next comes the porcelain-lined
tub, with all the plumbing open,
yet smaller than its predecessors. and
continually growing smaller from month
to month until bathing that started on
the horizontal has gone through vary
ing lines of angularity until it has ap-
preached forty-five degrees and prom
ises to reach the perpendicular.
Bathtubs in English houses are not
spect they are comfortable and luxur-
ious
The older the houses the bigger the
bathtub is the rule.

QUICK AND SURE.
A Pie Remedy which Really Cures


Mr. d. F. Collins Of Garnett, says: II
commenced using the Pyramid Pile Cure
at a time when my case was bad
thought nothing could cure it. but before
had used q. fifty cent package began
to feel much better and now I can hon
estly say I am entirely cured. It is the
quickest and surest remedy / have ever
tried or heard Of. =
From Thomas Willison Of Port Jarvis:
"Just one package of the Pyramid Pile
opportunity Of recommending such a
remedy
Amos Croker of Worcester: s.After
having gone through an unsuccessful
trying any number of salves and ONT
ments without success it is no wonder
that can find words of praise for the
Pyramid Pile Cure. One package did
me more good than all the remedies 1
had tried before It is so simple and
painless to use that I felt no inconven-
fence. whatever. while using it,
1t has been thoroughly tested by ply
sicians in every state in the Union and
the best authorities recognize it as the
safest, surest and cheapest pile cure
known.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures every
form of piles itching. protruding or bleed
ing, without a. particle of pain.
It cures without detention from daily
occupation, being in suppository form
and used at night.
Its effects are lasting and not merely
temporary relief
More than all this, the Pyramid Pile
Cure is entirely harmless, containing no
opiate. narcotics or mineral poisons and
cannot harm the most delicate.
Druggists everywhere sell it and re-
port universal satisfaction wherever
used.

piles will be mailed free by addressing
