A MAJORITY OF MEN.-There Is some
surprise over the disclosure Of the CEN
sus that there are so many more men
than women in this country.
The general supposition was that the
number of men and women in this Uni
ted States Is about equal but it turns
out that there are 100000 more Of the
former than the latter.
That Is to say, such was the case IN
June, 1900, when the count was made.
In every 1000 Of the American people
SIP are male and 4SS females.
For more than a half century there
has been proportionately a greater In
crease of men and the tendency Is
growing.
This is surprising in view of the
fact that within little more than hall
century we have had three wars
those with Mexico, the civil war ano
the brush with Spain. Our losses ir
the first and last Of these was insig.
nificant compared with the terrible
death rate in battle from wounds anc
diseases in the bloody conflict between
the north and south. The loss of the
lives Of a vast number of men is at
tributable to the struggle and it seems
that it would have left the man In
minority.
Another thing that makes the con
tinued predominance Of men in this
country remarkable is the fact that II
every country Of continental Europe
and in the United Kingdom there Il
uniformly a majority Of women.
The difference in the situation here
and in Europe is explainable largely
by the fact that so many more mer
than women are found among the i'm.
migrants who come to our shores, the
proportion being about three to two.
| This works both ways, reducing the
comparative numoer Of men in Europe
and increasing 1t here.
immigration has more than counter
balanced the effect of the war upon the
population Of men and women in oul
population and the former will proba
bly, remain in the majority for long
time to come.-Atlanta Journal.

A POINT OF ORDER.-One Of the con-
spicuous features Of the decorations o1
a certain official building is a full
length portrait of George Washington
Being just behind the speakers chair
it is in full sight Of everybody who
rises to speak. During heated discus
sion, which involved the honor Of the
state and nation, member rose and
pointing to the portrait, began in ora
torical style, by those eyes that new
er quailed before any enemy, by that
nose
Then ne was interrupted by a mem
ber in the rear, who rose to point OF
order.

HIS HUMBLE BEGINNING.-There Is
certain great man here in town who
hates nothing quite so much as an
swering personal questions. He dined
out on one recent occasion, and the
guest Of honor was an Englishwoman
who is filled with the keenest and most
ingeniously expressed interest in Amer
lea and Americans.
II find you perfectly wonderful over
here" said she between the salad and
the desert. 1.-The lives Of your promi-
nent men real like romances. Your
poor boys grow up to be millionaires
and your great men have had the most
extraordinary beginnings. One Of your
presidents, I am told, was actually o
butcher, and the father Of newly made
French princess was a tailor. Now
you, Mr.. Blank" turning smilingly to
the great man at her elbow, II am
sure your history must be most in
teresting. Do please tell me, at what
did you begin life?"
The great man stared at her In dis
approval.
Madam" he said, II began life as a
baby Washington Post.

A JUDICIAL REToRT.-Sir William
Meredith, chief justice Of Ontario, Can
ada, was formerly a very prominent
politician as we'll as famous lawyer
He was especially noted for his success
as prosecuting attorney. and few Grim.
inals escaped conviction when he ad-
dressed the jury.
During one of his political campaigns
he was speaking at meeting in the
city Of London, his native town. The
audience was turbulent and he was
frequently interrupted. Finally a
voice from the gallery cut into one OF
his finer flights with sarcastic "Oh
go and get your hair cut!"
Sir, William, who wore his hail
somewhat longer than is usual, was
stopped by a burst Of laughter. But
as soon as he was able to make himself
heard he turned the laugh and won the
audience by this reply: my friend
if I'm not mistaken, I've had your
hair cut before this!'-New York Com.

THE ODOR OF DISEASE.
Smells That Are Valuable as G
Means of Diagnosis.


Berard says that, apart from the ex-
cretions, an abnormal odor Of the skin
tends to draw flies, and that, however
little noticeable it may be, it denotes
death is near; and Boerhave held that
a cadaveric odor always pressages
death. Althaus tells us that Skoda was
hardly ever led into error by this in
dication, and Compton also laid great
stress upon this as clinical symptom;
but the smell given off during the
death agony" is totally different from
the death odor (that Of putrid!ty) and
Is usually admitted to be specific. In
gout the skin secretions take specific
odor which Sydenham compared to
whey; it is sour, or at least sourish,
and there is an excess Of ammonia. In
rheumatism it is acetoformic, particu-
larly in the regions of engorged articu-
lations (Monin); it is sour-smelling,
acid perspiration. In diabetes the
smell is sweetish and mawkish, as of
hay, according to Latham, ''acetone," "
says Picot, and midway between aide
hyd and acetone, being due to mix
ture in variable proportions Of the two
bodies," according TO Bouchardat.
A musky odor obtains to several
maladies, notably peritonitis jaundice,
and icterus; and a stale sour beer odor
to scrofuloss. The pyemic person has
n sweet nauSeating breath with per-
haps flavor of new-mown hay. In
milk fever the smell is distinctly acid;
in typhoid, musty, often with the odor
of blood; in typhus, ammoniacal and
mouse-like, which latter also obtains
to favus; in intermittent the odor is

AN IRISH Billy
Stuart is out with a brandnew yarn
and it is good one. Mr.. Stuart, with
a number Of bachelor friends, lives on
McMillen street. near Woodlawn av-
enue, East Walnut Hills.
He usually takes a constitutional
short walk each morning, and not long
since noticed that the upper parts OF
the telephone poles in the vicinity OF
his residence were being decorated with
coats of vivid green paint.
One morning as he was passing one OF
the poles an Irishman seated on TOP

appeared upon the scene and noticing
the green paint spilled all over the side
walk, looked up an anxiously inquired

YOU CANNOT CURE PILES
by Internal Keunet,,e,.

Inc cniy sure way to cure every form
of piles Is to use a remedy like the Pyr-
amid Pile Cure which is applied directly
to the parts affected and its wonderful
healing effects are apparent from the
first application because the medicinal
properties are rapidly absorbed by It's
sues and sensitive membranes OF the
rectum, and the cure is made speedily
and almost before the patient is aware
of iteyery trace of piles has left MIN.
This is one of the reasons why the
Pyramid Pile Cure has been so uni
formerly successful. 1t is applied di-
rectly just where it is needed and where
it will do the most good Not by the
round about way of the stomach nor by
the harsh, barbarous methods of vari-
Gus surgical operations and so-called
systems.
Direct applications to the seat of dis
ease is the only rational way. and this
is fully accomplished by the Pyramid
Pile Cure.
IL the voluntary testimony of thou
sands who have tried this remedy is
worth anything. then no sufferer has
any excuse for longer delaying in giving
1t fair trial. knowing that when you
do SO the Pyramid Pile Cure will have
made one more friend, the best possible
advertisement we can have. The chief
advantages of the remedy are: 1t cures
without pain, the cure is lasting, it con-
tains no poison, and lastly, 1t is the
cheapest and quickest cure yet found.
Your druggist can tell you what 1t has
done for others.
Testimonials Of cures from all parts
OF the United States will be sent on APP
plication to the Pyramid Drug Co.. Of
