The use of the word attorney de-

1875, attorneys have ceased TO exist,
their title merged by law into that OF
solicitor of the supreme court OF judi
cature, says a writer in the London
Mail. The name had long been used
as a term Of abuse. johnson observed
of an acquaintance that "he did not
care to speak Ill Of any man behind
his back, but he believed the gentle
man was an attorney"
Archbishop Trench. In 1859. noted
that the word attorney was going ont
of favor and that the lower branch of
the legal profession preferred to be
called solicitors. So when the judi
cature act OF 1873 was before parlia-
ment a clause was inserted abolishing
the obnoxious title. But with our de
lightful conservatism we still honor

Night Blindness.

Inability to see by day is matched by
the commoner night blindness which
most of us have known in friend or
relative. This defect, which includes
an inability to see even by artificial
light, is congenital with some people
and never overcome. II is often he
reditary. 1t may also be caused, how
ever, by long exposure to an overnight
light, coupled with fatigue. strange
story is told concerning ships crew
two centuries ago which were over
come by night blindness so extreme
that their captain was obliged to force
a fight with a Spanish privateer dur
ing the day, knowing that by night his
men would be helpless. In order to
obviate this difficulty for future occa-
sions he ordered each sailor to keep
one eye bound during the daytime,
discovering, TO his qualification, that
this eye, having rested. was then free
Of the defect The sailors were very
amusing in their efforts TO retain the
bandage well over the eye that must
be ready for night duty, and so a
method of modifying this trouble was
iscovered-London Strand Magazine.

Do You Suffer from

Hemorrhoids, commonly called Piles,
cause untold agony to the victim. If ne
elected, the condition always grows worse
with every attack, until the only recourse
is an operation. You may think that yoH
are predisposed to piles, and that nothing
You can do will prevent them, but this is
not true. The one certain cause of Piles
is constipation, and if you will keep your
bowels open and regular by taking Smiths
Pineapple and Butternut Pills you will not
only avoid this painful and dangerous
disease, but your whole general health will
greatly improve.
A torpid, inactive liver goes hand in
hand with constipation. Smiths Pine
apple and Butternut Pills are composed OF
the two great vegetable agents, pineapple
for the stomach, liver and gastric secre-
tions, and butternut for the mucous menu
brane, circulation and bowels, and always
give best results - they are Natures own

They form no habit. You should always
keep them on hand. These little Vegeta-
BILE Pills will ward off many ills.

ROYAL COUPLE WILL
GO ON REST CRUISE

London.-After King George has
inspected the fleet he and Queen
Mary, who have worked harder dur
Ing the last few weeks than any royal
couple in Europe, will take several
rest cruises on the royaI yacht Alex
andra.
The King and Queen will make their
headquarters at Barton Manor in the
Isle of Wright, a residence which the
late king never occupied, but which
has been redecorated and general
ly improved FOR the use of the royal
children. The route of the royal yacht
will not be published, so that the king
and queen can enjoy absolute rest
from state cares. They nave both Gre
ated a wonderfully good impression
In army and navy circles, and the
queen especially has displayed
charm of manner for which few peo-
pie gave her credit when she was
Princess of Wales, and deliberately
kept herself as much as possible in
the background.
Meanwhile alterations have already
begun at Buckingham Palace in the
absence of Queen Alexandra, who will
divide her time between Scotland and
Norway and Denmark until October.
The simple bedroom in which King
Edward died is to be left, by King
Georges command exactly as 1t was.
Not single piece of furniture Is to
be moved and the room will of course
never be used again. Instead of liv-
ing in the suite facing the private
gardens King George and Queen Mary
will occupy the suits facing the Mall
and full view of the general public.
Queen Alexandra will take UP her
residence at Marlborough House be-
fore Christmas.
Parliament has granted her an in
come of $135,000 per annum, but her
actual income is nearly double this
amount, so she will have no diff
ficulty in keeping up both Marlbor-
ough House and Sandringham in pro-
per style, and at the same time have
large surplus to devote to her many
charities.
In Scotland, Queen Alexandra will
not reside at Balmoral, but at Mar
Lodge. the residence Of the Duke of
Fife and her daughter Princess Lou
Use, Duchess of Fife. Princess Vic
toria, who has been in a state of great
nervous depression since her fathers
death, will spend the fall with her sis
ter, Queen Maud of Norway, whom
she will accompany later to their
mothers unpretentious villa near
Copenhagen.

NEWS AND GOSSIP FROM
ABROAD.
) I>>>>>~>~<>>~>

London.-A worldwide warfare on
revealed religion will be inaugurated
when the freethinkers of the world
meet in International convention at
Brussels on Sunday. With Spain and
Portugal now fighting the church, the
leaders in the movement believe that
the time is ripe for an anti-religious
propaganda greater than ever before
attempted Nor are these leaders po-
litical radicals nor unknown vision
aries. Men and women famous the
world over are enlisted in the cause"
including DR.. Ernest Haeckel of Ger
many, perhaps the greatest living
scientist and evolutionist; NJ. Anatole
France. of the French academy; Jo-
seph McCabe of England and others
equally distinguished.
In England, of late, the nationalist
propaganda has been carried on with
increased vigor. Scientific works, in
which Christianity is branded as a
superstition" have been issued to
sell at a low price, and distributed
by the millions. A London weekly
OF tremendous circulation has pub
lished a series of attacks on the
truths of the scriptures, and many
other movements have been set on
foot to discredit all creeds having a
supernatural basis.
There have been such crusades in
the past, but they have usually been
led by men and women without name
and reputation, and so have failed
of effect. Now that leaders of wide
fame have come to the front, the ra-
tionalists are confident that religion
will be stamped out"
Many matters of great importance
are to be decided at the international
convention of transportation. which
begins tomorrow at Copenhagen. II
is expected that the sessions will last
q full week.
