PYRAMID PILE CURE.
Physicians Recommend It, Druggists
Sell 1t, Everybody PRAISES 1t.

If we could sell one package of Py-
ramid Pile Cure to every person in
America who is troubled with piles
ana who would gladly give the 90
cents to he rid Of piles. we would have
about ten million dollars. The only
reason that we don't sell that many
packages this year is that we viii
not Toe able to get ten million people
to try it. just one application VIII

cost of a whole box.
The effect is immediate. Comfort
comes ut once and continued treat
ment will cure any case no matter

Pyramid Pile cure aoothcs the i'm
famed surface the instant IL touches

puts the parts into a healthy active

1t. Nothing compares with II.
We have never heard Of single
case that it failed to cure; we have

TALK OF MARRIAGE.
1t Is Proper For the Man, but Not
For the Girl, Apparently.

1t Is Proper For the Man, but Not
For the Girl, Apparently.
a man may remark on his intention
to marry at some indefinite future time,
when prudence or other considerations
may make it possible or advisable,
without having. as rule, to run the
gantlet Of a chorus of impertinent and
stupid would be witty remarks. But
should a girl be bold enough, or. rather.
natural and simple enough, to say the
same thing what would be the result?
Why. every one knows that she would
be promptly sneered out of counte-
nance.
And why? Is it immodest for a wom-
an to express q determination to enter
into a state which we. are being contin-
ually reminded Is natural and honor
able state, while 1t Is modest and prop
er for a man to do so? Such a distinc-
ton would never be drawn except for
the "cheapness' to which reference has
been made.
II u man wants to marry, he can mar
~. II the first woman he asks refuses
him, he has only to ask a second or per.
haps third or fourth. 1t would be
safe to guarantee that within q month
any man Of fairly respectable life and
position and appearance who cared to
make the experiment could marry in
his own class, couldAnarry probably g
woman much superior to himself.
But what about the girl who intends
to marry some dayY Is she not in a
very different position from the man
Here is girl of good character-muct
better than the mans. probably-aver
age intelligence, average good looks
Theoretically she is free to marry
whom she will. but is she? If she re-
ceives one distinct offer Of marriage
she has had more than her share. &C
cording to the probable average.
The fact that by an unwritten law q
woman must not take, and. indeed, does
not want to take, the initiative has very
little to do with the extremely limited
choice which modern conditions impose
upon English women.-Nineteenth Cen

GObelin Tapestry.

So important are their artistic merit
and historic value that no history Of
tapestry Is complete that does not in
clude description Of their design and
execution. For more than 200 years
the existence Of the papal manufac-
tory Of tapestries was unknown to the
modern world. Documents relating to
its origin and productions were buried
and forgotten In the mass Of manu-
script in the famous Barberini library
until very recent date, when they
were unearthed by Eugene Muntz, d.
rector. of the National Ecole des Beaux
Arts at Paris. In the popular mind
all tapestries are associated with the
GObelin factories of France
Curious to relate, not a yard of tap
estry was ever woven by a member of
the Gebeiin family. Immortality came
to them from the fact that In the mid
die Of the fifteenth century the founder
of the family established a dyehouse
which became famous and brought
the proprietors fortune. Descendants
shrewdly transported skilled tapestry
weavers from Flanders. whose work
they directed and marketed until tap
estry and Gobelin became then, as now,
synonymous throughout the world

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.


All Doctors have tried to cure Catarrh
by the use of powders, acid gases, in
halers and drugs In paste form. Their
powders dry up the mucous membranes,
causing them to crack open and bleed.
The powerful acids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the same men,
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while pastes and ointments cannot
reach the disease. An old and expert
enced practitioner, who has for many
years made close study and specially OF
the treatment of Catarrh, has at last per-
fected Treatment which, when faithful
ly used, not only relieves at once, but
permanently cures Catarrh, by removing
the cause, stopping the discharges, and
curing all inflammation. It is the only
remedy known to science that actually
reaches the afflicted parts. This wonder
full remedy is known as "SNUFFLEs, the
GUARANTEED CATARRH CURE" and Is sold
at the extremely low price of One Dollar
each package containing internal and ex-
ternal medicine sufficient for full month's
treatment and everything necessary to its
perfect cure.
ssSnuf1es" Is the only perfect Catarrh
Cure ever made, and Is now recognized as
the only safe and positive cure for that
annoying and disgusting disease. 1t cures
all inflammation quickly and permanently,
and Is also wonderfully quick to relieve
Hay Fever or Cold In the Head.
Catarrh when neglected often leads to
Consumption-''Snu will save you II
you use 1t at once. 1t Is no ordinary
remedy, but complete treatment which
Is positively guaranteed to cure Catarrh
in any form or stage If used according to
the directions which accompany each
package. Don't delay but send for 1t at
once, and write full particulars as to your
condition, and you will receive special ad-
vice from the discoverer of this wonderful
remedy regarding your case without cost

Artificial Stone.

Quarrymen and stone dressers will
probably be gradually crowded out Of
their occupation by the use of artificial
stone. In the manufacture Of this stone
the sand Is heated and the cement add
ed to the amount Of II per cent Of the
mixture. The steel molds are filed
with the dry material and moved into
an immense cylinder, which is closed
and bolted. Boiling water Is then
turned in under pressure sufficient to
force 1t all through the sand in the
molds. The cement Stacks. but the
steel molds do not permit any expan-
sion to occur. and the stone Is formed
and dried under an immense pressure
The result Is a very hard stone, which
can be supplied In shapes desired and
much cheaper than the natural stone.

WEARY WOMEN
How They May Gain New Life
And Energy.
Fron, the Maine Fnrn1er, AlQttst

FROM
Many women are doing more work
than their constitutions can stand and
it is not at all infrequent for them to
break down under the strain. There is
only one way to restore the impaired
vitality, and that is to strengthen the
worn-eut nerves and build up and nour-
ish the impoverished blood. If this is
accomplished new life and energy will
soon be felt. This was the experience
of Mrs. Addie r. Holt, drcssmaker,
of No. rs Bridge street, Augusta, Nc.
She says:
"About five years ago began to ex-
perience a worn-out feeling. Some
times would lie in bed for a day or SO,
but my dressmaking work obliged me
to keep up, even when / did not feel
able to be about. 1 suffered from fe-
male troubles and last spring l had
rheumatism in my left arm and also
pain in my left side in the region of my
heart.
"In August friend recommended
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and began taking them Immediately.
I commenced to improve in about two
weeks and In three months my weight
increased from 121 to 1873 pounds.
Since taking the pills I have had no
return Of the pain in my arm nor near
my heart.
1T am still taking the pills and I am
gladly recommending them to all who
say that anything ails them"
