who complained that the noted Eng
lish actress continually laughed in one
of his most important scenes He had
not the courage TO tell her his objec-

broken complaint. in which he said:
II am extremely sorry to tell you that I
ii is impossible for me to make any ef-
feet In such aud such n scene if you
persist in laughing at me on the stage
and so spelling the situation. May |
ask you TO change your attitude, as
the scene is most trying one?'
Miss Tcrry's answer was very direct
and to the point for she wrote: 'You

Japanese Fruit TickIes pari.ian..

The new century has already brought
to the old world most desirable gift
in the form of Il delicious fruit. Khakis
or kakis is the name of this fruit,
which halls from Japan and which is
now seen for the first time on the
streets of Paris in fruiterers' wagons.
The tree which bears it and which is
known as the apricot tree of Japan
was recently introduced into Europe.
where it created a sensation both on
account of its beautiful fruit and it's
most attractive appearance. The fruit
has a smooth, shining skin and is about
as large as an orange. 1t tastes like
a ripe apricot and has a sweet smell.
Epicures are very fond of it, and,
though each fruit costs from 40 CEN
times to 1 franc, wealthy Parisians
and proprietors of fashionable restau-
rants are only too glad to purchase
all they can get at that price.

Sufferers From Piles and
Rectal Diseases

HAVE NOW A SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE CURE
Modern medical science and skill has at last
| succeeded in producing a remedy which ehectuaiiy
cures that common but extremely annoying trouble,
piles.
Tho Pyramid Pile Cure Is the remedy referred
to- and repeated and thorough trials Of the remedy
during the past three years have demonstrated
that 1t il the long sought for remedy which can be
depended upon a genuine cure. There are many
remedies which give relief but such relief Is only
temporary and the trouble returns, bad,
or worse than ever. But the Pyramid Pile Cure
stands practically alone lasting cure. 1t not
only gives immediate relief but the relief Is there
to stay.
Mr.. J. W. Rollins writes briefly and to the point
regarding his experience with Piles; he says: Il
1t cured me In less than thirty days. 1 waited
fifteen days to be the remedy had
fully cured me before writing You. can now say
1 am cured and 1 shall recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure at every possible opportunity because it
deserves it,"
We quote from this gentleman's letter to show
our readers how promptly the remedy acts and also
that there is return of the trouble.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is simple and harmless
containing purely vegetable ingredients and can
be used in all with perfect safety and with
the assurance that cure will follow. Physicians
prescribe it and use 1t in all Of piles in pref
erence to the danger and uncertainty Of a surgical
operation. 1t without pain or Inconvenience
of any kind.

LAST OF THE SERIES.
Lenten Lecture Under Auspices o
Churchmen's League

Lenten Lecture Under Auspices of
Churchmen's League
The last of the series OF Lenten lectures
given under the auspices Of the Church
mems League of the District of Columbia
was delivered last evening at the Church
of the Epiphany. The speaker was Rev.
Percy Grant of New York.
MIR. Grants theme was THE Sacredness
of the National Spirit II had not. he
said, until recently been supposed that at
the beginning Of the twentieth century
there would be found In America a large
number of persons who desire a return of
the papacy to temporal power. Such q
thing he said, II brought about, would, in
his Judgment, be productive of bad results
and he thought 1t the duty of every MEM
ber OF the Churchman'S League to talk
with his Catholic friends and point out to
them that the true welfare, and perhaps
the future OF the Catholic Church depends
on the latter looking after religious mat
ters and collateral subjects and letting the
affairs of state alone.
The great mass of Catholic citizens of
the United States, he said, are not aware
OF the dangers attending the dual govern
ment Of church and state. and he believed
that but few have reasoned the matter out
to Its logical conclusion. But he also be-
heved that while there are q great many
American Catholics who practically own
allegiance to the papacy. Ii there should
ever be an occasion demanding 1t they
would rally one man to the support Of
the flag which has given them SO many
privileges.
He was not opposed to the Roman Catho-
lie Church. he said, whose doctrines every
citizen has right to accept What he
complained OF was the wish on the part of
many, especially In Rome, to make the
church play the part of a great diplomatic
power.
Diplomacy and politics. he declared, are
not parts OF church work The business of
the church Is to teach of the higher life
and to look after the spiritual wen-being
OF its members. 1t cannot. however, arbi-
trarily make a man good.
Mr.. Grant quoted a number of instances
from history to show that in various
countries where the papacy had once had
control 1t had been found necessary by the
government to bring about q separation
and maintain secular law as the one su-
perior power In matters of state.
There Is, he thought, great work for
the members of the league to do in dissem-
mating correct Information on the subject
OF the 'Sacreduess Of the National Spirit !"

THE NEW ARMY RATIONS.
Changes Recommended Approved by
the President.


the President.
President Mckinley has approved the
new army ration prepared under the direc-
ton Of General Weston, commissary gem
eral. The principal change is In the In
crease OF the sugar component, being ~
pounds to each 100 rations, instead Of 15
pounds as heretofore. The vinegar compo-
nent, which was S-25 Of gill, is changed
by allowing half of that amount In Gu
cumber pickles when desired. In the fruit
component 1 2-5 ounces of jam Is allowed
for the field ration in place of 3-5 ounces
of dried or evaporated fruit. which is the
allowance for the garrison ration. A
change is made in the travel ration by
allowing canned tomatoes to be served on
the first day instead of the fourth, as here
tofore.
For the use of troops on emergency oc-
casions in active campaign an emergency
ration will be issued. Fresh meats will Or
dinarily be issued seven days in ten and
salt meats three days in ten If fish other
than fresh fish is issued it will be in sub
stitution for salt meat.
Whenever the issue of both the fresh
meats and vegetable components is i'm
practicable there may be issued in lieu
of them a stew composed of fresh beef
and vegetables. For troops in Alaska the
bacon ration is increased four ounces and
the allowance of fresh vegetables increased
to "A ounces instead of 16 ounces.
The travel ration is composed of bread.
canned corned beef, baked beans, canned
tomatoes. coffee and sugar.
