Red Hair and Its petractors.

Prof. Carl Pearson of London, thinks
that there Is something wrong in the
common prejudice against red hair, and
is trying through schoolmasters to
achieve census Of red haired school
boys, with foot-notes as to character
annexed, so as to determine whether
they tend to be red-tempered also.
The prejudice is nothing new. Mid
dle-age painters represented Judas as
red haired, though Jews with sunny
locks are not common. Lord Macaulay
argued that the anti-red-hair feeling
was an Illogical survival of anti-Semi-
tism.
In Ireland red hair is common, and
in the speech of the country per-
son so distinguished is called a
Dane" in allusion to the incursions
made centuries ago upon Irish soil by
the light haired Danish sea-rovers.
Aristotle, of old Greece, declared that
"he has that has red hair is proud,
envious and deceitful." Aristotle was
undoubtedly dark -complexioned.'
On the other hand, the Italian paint
ers represent the Madonna with light
hair. Titan gave his name to fam
Gus shade of red seen in women's hair,
and red hair in Spain is an aristocratic
tinge, as seemingly derived from the
Goth conquerors of iberia. The Span
ish royal house has furnished several
members with red or reddish hair

Barbarous Surgical Operation
For the Cure of Piles.

Is not only intensely painful dangerous
to life and very expensive, but in the light
of modern medical research, and since the
discovery of the Pyramid Pile Cure,
wholly unnecessary. If you have any doubt
on this point kindly read the following let
ter from one who knows that the claims
regarding the merits of the Pyramid Pile
Cure are borne out by facts.
For a long time suffered with blind
piles. They gave me so much pain and
uneasiness that they almost disqualified
me for doing anything. 1 saw an ad in
the Atlanta Journal of Pyramid Pile Cure
and ordered a so cent box. 1 used them
and they gave me relief; that encouraged
me and bought another 80 cent box and
they cured me. Oh how glad that am
well again!"
1.-THE Pyramids cured me and I am
satisfied they will cure anybody else who
is suffering as I was, if they will use
them
You may use this in any way you see
proper, if my experience will encourage
any sufferer to use your Pyramids shall
be glad" H. x. Hicks. Calhoun, Ca
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists for SO cents a package, and It's merit
is SO well known that the sales exceed
those of all similar remedies combined.

Mich. for their little book on the causes
and cure of piles. which is sent free for
