Cost Too Much.
A lank, long countryman stood out
side of the reading room door of the IL
brary of congress and looked with long
ing eyes at it's gorgeous interior. Admit
lance had been refused on his declar-
ing that he had no intention of reading,
but he fingered near the door hoping
something would turn up to let him in
Finally he again approached the door
keeper.
"You say can't get in, boss?" he
asked.
"Not unless you want to read" was
the discouraging reply.
: "a dollar wouldn't be any object to
you, would it, boss?'
! The doorkeeper shook his head and
waved the insistent visitor away. In a
few moments three members of con-
gress approached and, 'nodding to the
doorkeeper, said, 1--WE are members,
you know" and passed in through the
door. The countryman darted forward
again.

Light Without Sight.

We can perceive" light without the
smallest aid from the retina. If the
optic nerve is sufficiently excited to
reach the sensorium and create a dis
turbance at that center of the brain
where the optic nerve terminates, We
shall then see light and sparks. If,
moreover, the optic nerve is cut or mu-
tilated in any way, we should see a
brilliant flash of light, though without
any sensation of pain. And SO it is
with the other nerves. The auditory
nerve has only to be excited, not nee
essarily by sound, so as to reach its
center, the brain, and we shall hear a
sound. How many ghosts might moi
be destroyed in this way?-Chambers

The Danish Mascot.

The chimney sweeper is the Danish
mascot. You see him in gold or silver,
suspended on a lady's watch chain, in
stead of the ''lucky pig" or horseshoe,
which is the English symbol Of good
luck. He also appears on note paper
and postcards, implying that your cor
respondent wishes you rise in life.
1t is the old fashioned sweep that is
thus depicted-he who had actually to
climb the chimney, his implements be-
ing a four foot ladder, short broom
and a rope.

Englishmen that their way of speaking

A SOURCE OF SURPRISE
TO PHYSICIAN AND PATIENT ALIKE.

DR.. Redmond, a specialist in the study and
stated that the Pyramid Pile Cure, the new dis
covery for the cure of piles, the most re-
markable remedy he had seen or tried in one
respect, and that the instant relief expert
enced in al cases. matter how severe, from the
moment the remedy applied; this was the
more surprising to him, because he had carefully
analysed the preparation and trace of opium,
cocaine or similar poison could be detected. ,
Physicians look with great favor upon the Pyra-
mil Pile Cure, because 1t is rapidly taking the
place of suIgicai operations and because 1t is SO
simple, easily applied, and contains no mineral
or other poisons so commonly used in pile cures
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the Pyramid Pile
Cure not only cures the various forms of piles
but never fails to give immediate relief the first
application, matter how severe the pain or dis
comfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles for years
are often astonished at the instant relief expert
enced from the first application. Another impor-
tant advantage is the fact that any can use
the remedy without detention from business or in
reference with daily occupation.
Mr.. j. w. Rollins of Sweet Springs, No., writes:
l consider the Pyramid Pile Cure without an
equal; 1t cured me In less than 80 days. l waited
10 days to be was fully cured
before writing you; can now say cured and
/ shall recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure at every
possible opportunity because 1t deserves 1t.
The popularity of this remedy Is such that all
druggists now sell 1t at fifty cents package, and
its sales exceed those of all similar remedies COM

The Sunday Closing Movement.

From the Chicago News.
In the present well-directed efforts which
they making to bring about Sunday
closing the trades unions, the clerks and
others, including the proprietors of certain
stores, are promoting a reform which
should have the cordial support of the pub
lic The union of efforts on the part of all
those most Intimately concerned is in itself
indicative of the need of relief. Storekeep-
ers as well as clerks find that continuous
labor from one end of the week to the other
is profitless and eXhausting. All workers
have a right to a full day of rest during
the week. All have a right to live some
part of their lives for themselves. The
proprietors as well the clerks appreciate
this. 1t remains for the public to do it's
part. The customer can help directly and
effectively by arranging to make his pur-
chases so that he need buy nothing at all
on Sunday. He will then have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that no oVerworked men
and women are being forced to give up their
rightful day of rest on his account.
