asked why it YVES that there are so many
"blood purifiers, nerve tonics" and
remedies for every i'll, except one of the
NEST common and annoying, viz: piles.
He replied. there are two principal rea-
sens First physicians and people in gem
eral, have thought that the only perman-
ent cure for piles was a surgical opera
tiCn, that medical preparations We're
simply palliative Another reason is that
piles IS in no sense of the word an mag
mary disease; the sufferer from piles is
very much aware of the fact and for this
reason, the few so-called pile salves, ONT
ments. etc. have been short-lived The
patient very soon discovered their inef-
ficiencN.
He says further. fortunately. however
there is a new remedy for piles. which
judging from its rapidly growing popu-
larity. will soon take the place of ali
other treatment: it has certainly made
astonishing cures in this obstinate dis
ease and it's merit has made it famous
among physicians and wherever it has
been introduced. This remedy is sold by
all druggists under the name of Pyramid
Pilc Cure.
From the Immediate relief which the
Pyramid Pile Cure gives in all forms Of
piles many physicians supposed it con-
tanned opium cocaine or some similar
substance. but upon ANALYSIS it was
found to be perfectly free from anything
of the kind, and that the instant relief
and cure which follows its use is rather
the result of its remarkable healing.

Hncient Hrt Creasures

received, in a day or two, by King
Victor Emanuel He has been inter-
viewed by an Italian journalist who
publishes long report Of the con-
ference in the Tribuna.
The Italians, M. lie Roux says, are
popular In Abysstnia. The Italian war
prisoners who resided for years in the
country after the battle of Abba kar-
lima, have paved the way to a thorough
reconciliation of the two races, and
the negus is now convinced that Italy
has given up every idea of colonial
expansion to the prejudice of Ethio-
pia.
The only object OF Italy is to estab-
lish on firm basis commercial rela-
tions between Massowah and Abbys-
sinia with the full and hearty con-
currence of the negus.
Some details Of the pope's will are
matters Of gossip. The pope's neph-
ews, 1t is said, expected to claim the
accumulated millions which the Italian
government allows annually to the
pope-that is to say, the 100000 a
year which is placed at his disposal.
every five years under prescription.
The pope has decided that nothing
Of his allowance shall be touched. His
small personal fortune goes in equal
distribution to his five nephews of the
Pecci family. The fortune he leaves
as pontiff is placed under the trustee
ship of three cardinals, of whom Car
dinal Rampolla is chief.

Biunders In the Type.

Errors Of the press often begin with
errors Of the reporters who have
misunderstood spoken words. The
rule Of follow copy compels the COM
positor to repeat the exact words writ
ten by the reporter and the following
blunders are the result of obedience to
this rule. A speaker made this state
ment:
In these days clergymen are ex-
pected to have the wisdom and learn
ing of Jeremy Taylor" But the re-
porter wrote. and the compositor re-
peated: "' the wisdom and
learning Of journeyman tailor"
Another speaker quoted these lines:
Oh, come. thou goddess fair and free.
In heaven yclept Euphroyne.
They were printed as written:
oh. come. thou goddess fair and free,
In heaven she crept and froze her
knee.
Another orator quoted this line
from Tennyson's "Locksley Hail.:
Better fifty years OF Europe than n
cycle Of Cathay.
But the quotation was written and
printed:
Better fifty years In Europe than q
circus in Bombay.

He is son of General the Hon. Sir
David MacDowall Fraser, retired, and
nephew Of Lord Saltoun. But lack Of
fortune and even farthings cannot in
fiuence the popularity Of the man who.

has been known as the flower Of the
British kingdom.
How he met Miss Astor first Is not
known. She was hard to meet, and
deadly, for her pretty high heels have
stabbed and pierced the scores OF
hearts whereon they have trod. Her
father was particularly anxious to keep
Captain Fraser out of her sight, be-
cause he was too attractive for a man
without q title.
How the two met is not known.
Some say when riding in the park in
the mornings. Others say that Miss
Astor saw Captain Fraser sitting his
horse in front of his company. and she
never forgot him.
Before she met him, or saw him,
whichever it was, she was about ready
to emulate Consuelo, Duchess of Marl-
borough. Roxburghe was always with
her, and It was understood that there
was an understanding. But 1t all has
