One Cause of SleepIessness That Can
he Overcome.
Mr. VIM. Handschu. of 46th street, Cot
ton Alley, Pittsburg, Pa, expresses him
self as follows regarding the new remedy
for that common and obstinate disease.
piles: Il take pleasure in stating that
was so afflicted with piles that for three
months l got no regular sleep be-
came completely Frustrated, the doctors
did me no good; my brother told me OF
the new remedy for piles, the Pyramid
Pile Cure, / purchased of my druggist
three hfty-cent boxes and they complete
ly cured me. 1 am once more at work
and but for this excellent remedy would
be on my back. l take great pleasure in
writing this letter because 50 many peo-
pie are sufferers from this trouble who
like myself did not know where to hook
for a permanent, safe. reliable cure"
Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure
for the past three years has demonstrated
to the medical profession as well as To
thousands OF sufferers from piles, that 1t
is the safest and most effectual pile cure
ever offered to the public, containing no
opiates or posons Of any kind, painless
and convenient to handle, and being sold
by druggists at 50c and s1.00 per box. Is
within the reach of every sufferer.
Very often two or three boxes have
made complete cure of chronic cases
that had not yielded TO other remedies
for years.
There Is scarcely a disease more aggra-
waiting and obstinate to cure than the
various forms OF piles, and 1t is a COM
mon practice to use ointments, salves and
similar preparations containing dangerous
polsons to remove the trouble. The Pyra-
mid has superseded all of these ineffec-
tual remedies and no one suffering with
any rectal trouble will make any mistake
In giving the Pyramid a trial.
II in doubt as TO the nature Of your
trouble send TO the Pyramid Drug Co..
Marshall, Mich, for a valuable book on
piles. describing all forms OF the disease
and describing the method OF cure.

lie prints about Prof Alexis E. Frye. who
resigned his office of superintendent OF
public schools Of Cuba a few days ago,
and the pretty Cuban girl who Is his wife.
He and his wife reached New York last
Saturday.
They went to the Fifth Avenue Hotel
and will stay there until they go to Bos-
ton for a few days and then to Highland,
Cal, where Prof. Frye owns two orange
groves,
Prof. Frye has only been married about
two weeks. The marriage was performed
in Cardenas the homo OF the BRIDES IA
ther. Since then Mr. Frye has resigned
his place in Cuba, and his wedding trip
is his home coming.
Prof Frye's courtship and marriage
were romantic. Last summer he escorted
l 400 school teachers from Cuba to this
country. Among them was Senorita Ma

fortune in the war

One OF the most popular hairdressers
of New York gives, in the Tribune OF that
city. the following hints on care OF the
hair:
great mistake TO take too much
care of the hair Many women
have an idea that 1t ought to be sham
pooed every week or two, which, In fact,
Is positively harmful. The hair should
not he washed oftener than once month,
and. when naturally dry, not more than
once IN FIVE or six weeks.
I'm the second place, the shampooing
must be thorough. as, II the soap Is not
removed TO the last atom, II does more
harm than good. l had a young woman
come to me a few days ago whose hair
was actually sticky with the soap left in
Il from the previous shampooing. Now,
a few treatments OF that sort would be
enough to ruin the finest hair by killing
the roots. There is a great deal in the
kind OF soap, too. use an almond oil
soap Of purest quality, dissolved In dis
TILED water until It is soft and thin
enough to pour from the bottle onto the
head.
There is no end to the mistakes peo-
ole make about the hair. Another COM
mon one is that a great deal of brushing
Is good for It. yet the truth Is that
too much Is far worse than too little. II
only irritates the scalp, and so tends to
loosen the hair. 1t makes me really an
cry to read such advice as, Brush the
hair with 1fty strokes night and morn
ing A dozen strokes Of the brush every
night will keep II free from dust, and
that IL the principal value of brushing.
The better way to stimulate the scalp Is
70 massage Il carefully every night before
going to bed or IN the morning. one must
DO careful 10 do II properly. Merely to
rub the roots of the hair Is Of no use. but
rather hurtful. The way Is 10 move the

ton with the finger tips, going over II

a bare living and the existence of the
majority of working girls is a ceaseless
round or unremuneratiYe toll. Two West
ern girls, however, have marked out for
themselves distinctive line of industry
that brings them a comfortable income.
They are cousins. One was a well-traineu
ana talented artist, the other a newspaper
woman, and for a time they tried to
achieve success along those lines.
But We soon found" said one, that
New York is full of artists and journal
lsts-postively swarming with them! The
only way to do anything worth while,
we decided, was to strike a new vein and
find something that nobody else was do
ing
Rather difficult, that? Yes but we felt
1t must be there. We had noticed the
horribly bad drawings used in the aver
age illustrated advertisements in cars and
elsewhere, and 1 suggested to my cousin
to do something in that line and I would
try to sell them, snow ng advertisers what
really good work was.
The artist usually disdains the Sc
verely practical, you know, but my cous-
in has the rare combination of a truly
artistic temperament with good horse
sense, so she agreed, and we selected one
of the principal dry goods houses for our
first point of attack
She made some charming headpieces
for display and full-page advertisements,
some chic figures for departments and
things of that sort, which l took to the
firm selected and sold without difficulty.
Others followed and other houses bought.
I'VE entered the magazine field and
made a place there, and-well, the rest
Of the story is this: We have moved from
our little studio in an inconvenient local.
70 do and w have a staff
of five artists who work under my cous-
In direction, busy all the time.
"A few weeks ago a big advertising
firm made highly Gathering offer to take
Us, staff and ALL under a five years con-
tract, at a really startling figure. We did
not accept it, however. as we feel proud
of our business-proud of our success-and
we want to keep it as a distinctly 'wo-
mans affair."

A demure little maid who has had much
experience in society made the customary
New Years resolutions at the beginning
of the new century, but, unlike some or
her sisters announced the intention OF
using a good deal of flattery in her inter-
course with her associates in the future.
"You may talk about honesty and sin
cerity all you wish'' she said to friend,
but neither of these qualities makes one
popular The popular girl is she who al
ways has something nice to say, whether
she means it or not. Perhaps I've been
little too blunt in my frankness, but at
all events the cooling dove couldn't be
gentler than l will appear in 1901.
Honesty is the best pc icy-in business.
In society I'm not sure it isn't the worst.
AS preliminary and by way of practice
let me tell you that you're lock ng re-
markably well tonight. Your frock Is a
dream and your eyes are like stars.
You're a delight to my eyes and the JOY
of my heart.
"Of course I won't apply my compH-
merits quite so thickly as that in the ma
iority of cases, but I'm going to put In
artistic touches whenever l tn nix the SUBJ
iect viii stand for it." And then she
dashed away intent on her new role and
quite unconsc ious that her last words
contained any reflection upon the sagaci-
ty of her listener.

Scenic Cars Jump Track.

Several cars on the miniature
railroad, at Brandywine Springs
Park, jumpe the track yesterday
afternoon and several persons who
were making the trip were badly
shaken up. Engineer Riley was
running tie train at the same
speed as he generally does down
the grade on the start of, when
there was a shock ielt and scrap

five econd. as many cars were de-
rallied and the occupants spilled
out. The accident occurred just
as the train was about to take the
curve across the first trestie span
ming the run.
Ii the cars had left a few min

landed in the water and perhaps
received serious injury on the rocks.

company with others was enjoying
the ride was the only one injured
and she swooned. She soon re.

West Chester, August I. A
change Of venue will be asked tor
by 4. W. Pierce. attorney for VIII.
liam H. Pratt. who is charged with
the murder of his wife. Attorney
Pierce says it would not be fair to
try his client IN Chester county,
and he will therefore ask that the
case be heard bv some other court.
Public sentiment against Pratt,
Attorney Pierce AYERS. is great and
that his clients case is already
yreiudiced. The demonstration in
open court yesterday, when the
habeas corpus petition was denied,
was something never witnessed
here before, and Mr.. Pierce says
Pratt should not be tried by his
neighbours.
Should the grand jury indict
Pratt it is understood thata change
OF venue will be asked for, and MIR.
Pierce feels sure Judge Butte will
grant the petition.
When Pratt was returned to his
cell last evening after the decision
OF the court refusing him release on
habeas corpus proceedings, he sat
upon his bed for an hour in a medl.
tative mood. 10 the prison au thorl-
tics he expressed surprise an d dis
