VITAL FORCE
Is Crushed By Chronic Troubles.

One of the most weakening, undermin- ing troubles, which mankind is heir to is hemorrhods or piles. The victim Is care less and neglectful of the disease at first because the pain Is slight and the bleed ing may only occur occasionally. or he may be treasured by the occasional dis appearance of the symptoms And yet if at the very start he had found rational remedy to soothe the inflammation, he would probably never have had a return of this irritating malady.
 Piles may develope at any season of the year, and at almost any age of the yic- tim; the abuse of cathartics often causes this trouble, and period arrives when the dread of pain at stool becomes so great that the sufferer begins to neglect the calls of nature, and the bowels are either forced to retain the feces or are only partially cleared, on account of the suffering attendant upon a thorough movement
 Before you reach this stage use rem edy which removes the cause. thereby eradicating the disease, and that Is the Pyramid Pile Cure which is sold by all druggists at fifty cents package; 1t Is in the form of a suppostory, Is applied directly to the parts affected and brings about a complete cure, quickly and pain lessly. A valuable little book on the cause and cure of piles is published by the Pyramid Drug Co.,. Marshall. Mich. and we advise every sufferer to send for a copy of it.
 People who have suffered from piles for years are often astonished at the in- stant relief experienced from the first application. Another important advantage is the fact that anyone can use the rem edy without detention from business or interference with daily occupation.
 "I feel 1t my duty to recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure, for after suffering ten years with a most distressing form of Piles, I am entirely cured. thanks to this remedy Anyone doubting this can write to Margaret Brady. 156 Whitman St.. Cleveland. Ohio"

sat in the arbor conversing in low
tones. He said it was about the col
lege taking his volumes on s'Tbe
Lost Tribes as a textbook. I knew
that President Smith would help him
out if he could. He said that If
that were settled he would go on to
Washington at once, but that Mar
maduke must apply to the trustees,
and that couldn't be until the next
Monday.
on the piazza as the sun was set
ting, and their talk was always of
books and the higher education, un-
til I really got rather tired of hav-
ing so much learning about me.
Sometimes it happened that Miss
Dacres would come home while they
were sitting there. She never seemed
to like it, and usually she rode on,
and came back when President Smith
had left and DIR. Wynne had gone up
stairs. If they were still there when
she came past the second time, she
would go on again, or else stand her
wheel against the tree, open the
gate, and walk swiftly round the
house. I told her once that it
wouldn't do any harm to be intro
duced to two of the most learned
men of modern times, but she al
ways replied that she had come for
rest, and not for education, and she
meant to get it if possible. Why
she should know these people just
because I did she could not see.
Americans, she said, were always
crazy to introduce people who didn't
want to know each other.

Touring on the Cheap.

A tourist agent has told me the fol-
lowing story, which, he says, acquires
a peculiar interest by being true. A
quiet-lool<ing American entered his
Office last week and asked him to elk
up a nice cheap tour through Europe
Paris, Lucerne, Florence, Rome,
Venice, and Vienna he wished to be
included. It was found that at the
lowest rates the journey would cost
about 925.
'Stop right there" said the tourist;
well have to drop out a place or
two. I had calculated to do the
show on 1O.''
NowNyou cannot do very extensive
tour through Europe on 6 10 and the
route was reduced at last to a trip
to Lucerne.
''Well,' said the American, ST can't
say you've not disappointed me; but
look here, you'll do this. Take pound
off the ticket and gimme guide-books
to the places I'm missing, and I think
it will work out good Manchester

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF MEXICO.

Government

Mexico is one of the few countries il
which it is possible for child to be
educated at government expense from
the time of beginning to learn his let
ters until receiving his diploma al
graduation from scientific or literary
institution, says Modern Mexico. Dur
ing the year 1900 there entered the
public schools of the federal district
4S,S56 children; the average daily at
tendance was 25 5,4OS; 27,757 entered fo1
examination and 1S,O2O passed; LIS
graduated
In a general way the present meth
DDS followed by the Direction de In
struction Publica" (bureau of public
education) are framed after the most
approved ones both in Europe and the
United States. the wonderful progress
achieved in the latter country being
attentively watched by Mexico to prof
it by what appears to the world al
large as the best and most practical
regardless of expense.
In 1871 there were only some 5.0OC
schools in the whole territory of the
republic, while in 1875 the numb Der rose
to s,103, or an average of one for ev-
cry LILO inhabitants, this proportion

The number of pupils attending
school then were, in round nUm bers
100000, or about 20 per cent. of the
population of school age. the expense
being over 81 GOO, 600, borne by the gov
erndnent, plus something like $1,2OO..
600 donated by private parties. or
round sum of 81. .sO0.O 600 expended on
primary instruction by the Mexican
people, the official or government part
of which was represented by more
than 5000 teachers, one-fourth OF
whom were women. These figures are
trebled at present, and Mexico has be.

lightenment and perfection in educa

future advancement among the ma
