the pilgrims of whom more than 4OO.-

There are a dozen or more factories
in the place, manufacturing cotton
and wooden stuffs. paper, leather and
beer More important Is a publishing
house which does a brisk business
with the visitors in religious writings
and sacred pictures. The sale OF
amulets, warding charms against each
particular evil and against all evil in
general. is a significant part of the
city's trade.
THE Black Madonna, sacred mystery
picture. the source of Black Madonna
worship among the Poles and Rus
slams, is. in itself and in its history,
one of the most absorbing OF paintings.
II hangs in a chapel over the altar,
veiled, except at the chief service
twice each day. when 1t is shown. 1t
is a picture of the Virgin and Child on
cypress wood, black-brown with age,
crowned with purest gold and lavish
ly adorned with a fortune OF costly
jewels. According to tradition, 1t was
painted by st. Luke; came into the
possession of st. Helena; passed an
adventuresome. beneficent time until
brought by Prince Leo to Galicia; and
was finally placed in the Pauline Mon
astery at Czestochowa to protect 1t
from the Tartars in 1882.
"The Pauline monastery, home of
the wonderful painting, has been the
center of Czestochowa's history. 1t

wall. on the rugged Jasna Cora prom
ontory, which dominates the city. All
through the Middle Ages, the fortifi-
cations of the monastery were added
to; and every time hostile armies
came that way, It was besieged. At
one time it was so wealthy, that it is
said to have owned or held in pledge
one fifteenth OF all estates in Poland"

HIGH SCHOOLS FOR GROWN

That the Danish folk high schools

sible the recent wonderful develop
ment In rural Denmark, can be sue
cessfuIly transplanted in modified
form to the United States, is the con-
clusiOn reached by II. W. Foght OF the
United States bureau OF education in

studied both the Danish schools and
American rural conditions at first
hand, and he believes that what the
Folk high schools have done for rural
civilization in Denmark they can do
for the United States.
The place to introduce the new
type OF school IS the region known as

are necessarily behind other parts OF
the country in education. though much
iiliteracy prevails. but that the pecu-
liar local conditions demand some
institution like the Danish schools.
There are already a few folk high
schools in the United States. estab-

In any case of piles" the first thing
10 determine is, what ails patient. Too
often the patient complains of piles,
whereas, il an examination is made
and one always should be made-it
may be found that there is something
|. else the matter. For instance, fissure,
fistula, ischio-rectal abscess. and even
cancer in or near the rectum are often
assumed to be piles and therefore i'm
properly treated.
"A pile is analogous TO a varicose
or enlarged vein in the leg or a vari-
cocele. II is simply a dilated vein
in the lower part of the rectum,
dilated branch of the inferior hemor-
Thoidal vein, which forms a network
about the lower end of the intestinal
canal. This vein empties into the
portal area which drains the blood
from the liver. Hence it is that piles
are frequently present in cases of con-
gestion OF cirrhosis OF the liver, and
any excess of diet or drink which en-
gorges the liver aggravates piles.
The various distinctions. such as in
ternal and external piles. bleeding
piles, and so forth, are of little conse-
quence so far as prevention and treat
ment is concerned. However. il should
be mentioned that an attack of piles
signifies an Inflammation of a pre-
existing pile. and relief OF the attack
subsistence OF the pain-means only
that the Inflammation is gone. not
that the pile is cured AS a matter
of fact. piles are quite as incurable by
non-surgical means as are varicose
veins in any other situation, notwith-
standing the scores of alleged cures
and suppositories exploited by our
friends, the patent medicine men and
the advertising quacks.
One subject to piles should follow |
out certain rules to prevent the in
fammatory attacks. II the condition |
is one of bleeding piles, then the only |
safe treatment is surgical removal. |
and serious exhaustion or even death 1
is not rarely the penalty of procras-
tination.
Briefly, the prevention OF piles and /
+attacks" of piles is avoidance OF 1
over-eating- constipation. pills con.
aloes (which congests and ir.
ritates the rectum). and uncieanli- /
ness. Tomorrow's talk will cover the
subject in detail.
