CUKE FOR PILES.
Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of the
abdomen, causing the patient to suppo** he haa
some aflection of the kidneys or neighboring or
gans. At times symptoms of indigestion are
present, flatulency, uneasiness of the stomach,
etc. A moisture, like perspiration, producing a
very disagreeable itching, after getting warm,
is a common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the application of
Dr. Bosanko’s Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts effected, absorbing the Tumors,
allaying the intense itching, and effecting a per
manent cure. Price 50 cents. Address, The

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.
Miyi Longs for Boyhood and tho
Boy for Manhood.
If the boy had been an Indian and if
the hallway which led from the sitting
room to the little bedroom at the head
of the stairs had been a trackless for
est, the veriest idiot in woodcraft in all
the world—a boy who had read only
one dime novel, or perhaps had never
read any at all—could have tracked
him to his lair by the trail of clothes he
had left behind him. He was only a
little boy, and he was very tired. At
the dinner table he had dozed over his
soup and had dreamed out loud while
his elders were finishing their coffee. So
it was no wonder that the good resolu
tions he had made that morning about
himself were broken at night, and this
accounts for the signs of disorder which
marked his journey, and it also ac
counts for the patience with which his
mother picked up his scattered ward
robe and laid the garments together in
a pilo on a chair, Stretohed out on
the lounge lay the boy’s father, and in
front of the fire in an easy chair sat a
bachelor friend of middle age.
“Billy,” observed the parent to his
friend, “Men are only grown-up boys
after all, and the names of boyhood
are not easily forgotten. What would
you give to be able once more to wear
those little trousers on the chair?”
“It doesn’t seem possible that we
ever were small enough to wear such
clothes as those," replied the friend
irrelevantly, after a pause.
“No, it doesn’t. Yet we did. I re
member you when you wore trousers
that didn’t come below your knees.
You were the freckled-facest boy in the
neighborhood. They were in your skin
and all the bleaching in the world
wouldn’t get them out I remember
the first pair of hoots you ever had.”
“Do you? So do L I remember
licking you too because you said they
were cowhide. You never had boots
and you were jealous clear through.”
“Yes, I recollect it too, now that you
mention it. Those were happy days,
Billy, if you did not know it.”
44 Know it, Jack? I should say I did.
There are times when I would give all
I’ve got in the world to be back on the
old farm in Western New York where
grandfather livod and feel the same
way that I did then. Do you know,
Jack, I used to look forward to my
summer vacation for months, and
whenever I was bad —not bad enough
to whip but just bad enough to scare—
mother used to tell me I shouldn’t go
to grandfather’s next summer. Then
I used to lay awake and cry all night,
and for the aext fortnight 1 was so good
that the boys used to lick me every day
at school at recess to keep me from
being an angel—so they said. Every
thing is changed now, though. I have
been back to the old farm, but the
place had changed so much I hardly
knew it. The meadow had shrunk into
half its size. The house had grown
smaller, the barn had shrunk too—that
big old bam where the hay lofts were
and the grain bins and the threshing
machine was kept. Why, do you know
I Would rather have lost ’most any thing
I had than to have that old barn go
back on me in that fashion. It was a
fairy palace in my boyhood, and after
I grew into manhood the memory of its
spacious dimensions was one of the
pleasantest recollections of my life.
No, Jack, I wouldn’t want to wear
those trousers unless I could feel just
the same as I used to when they would
have been three sizes too large for me.”
“You are right, Billy. We must feel
the same way to appreciate the fun we
used to have, and we had lots of it,
too, though we used to complain of
hard times like a couple of young
idiots.”
“Do you remember,” interrupted the
bachelor, “the old fishing hole under
the big sycamore?”
“Do I remember it?” repeated the
parent in disgust. “Do you think I
have lost my mind?”
“Do you remember how those little
minnows we used to catch used to taste
when they were cooked in butter and
flour? They were sweeter than the
beat flab that you can buy in ten Fulton
markets. There was a flavor about
them that you can’t get nowadays if
Fou use all the cook books in creation.
I don’t know why it is unless it is that
fiihea have changed the same as we
have and the same as the world does.
The last time I was down on the old
farm I got mother to cook a few of the
Ash that a neighboring boy had caught,
blit, bless your heart, they lasted like so
many smelts.”
“Do you remember,” interposed the
•Ucr. “the d*y we ran away from
IcLool nnd went down to the brook and
caught that big bass? What a whopper
it was! I actually believe it was nearly
as large as a small whale. 1 caught it
ob that little light pole of mine, and
you remember what a time 1 had to
land him ”
“Indeed I do. I thought 3011 had
lost him half a dozen times, but } T ou
•tuck to him like a vise. When I offered
to help 3 T ou you got mad and told me
to mind my own business. Do you
recollect that?’’
“I should say I did; but, Billy, to
tell the truth I was a little scared about
that iish. I didn’t think I ever was
going to get him out without breaking
my r pole.”
“I knew it. I knew it all the time,
but I was afraid to speak to you about
it at the time. Let’s see how loug ago
was that. Twenty-five years, wasn’*
it?”
“Just about. Twenty-five years is a
long time.”
“Long? I should say so. It’s an
age to look forward to, but when you
look back it is only a week or so. Odd
how time does fly.”
“ I wonder what has become of the
old Dominie. Do you recollect
him?”
“As well as if he wer* here now.
Tall, lank, bald as an egg. lie wore
spectacles on the end of his nose and
snuffed when he talked. He had a per
petual cough.”
“Do you remember tittle Phillis?”
“Little Phillis? Pretty little Phillis,
with the red cheeks, red lips, blue eyes,
golden hair. Do I remember Phillis?
Why, Billy, she has been framed in my
memory for many years past. You
used to be very fond of her, Billy.”
“I was, and so were you. All the
boys were. Even the Dominie used to
speak fondly to Phillis. She was the
only scholar who codld miss the spell
ing and not be kept after school. Don’t
you remember how she saved me from
being flogged that day I stole the big
red apple from Deacon Derrick’s or
chard?”
“I thought you did get flogged.”
“Well, I didn’t. He kept me after
school and had just made me take oft
my coat, when little Phillis opened the
door and asked him what he proposed
to do.”
“‘l’m going to punish this young
rascal as he deserves,’ he said.
“ ‘lf you do,’ she cried as she ran
up to me and put her arms around
my neck, ‘} r ou will have to whip me
too,’
“The old man looked at me and then
looked at her, and I’ll be switched if
tears didn’t come into his C3 T es.
“‘Well,’ he sniffled, ‘well, you
young rascal, you richly deserve to be
flogged, but on her account I will
spare you this time. But watch out
for yourself and don’t let this occur
again.’
“Then Phillis and I walked home to
gether, and I was so happy and proud
that I wouldn’t have changed places
with the King of Spain. Those were
happy times, Jack.”
“Well, I should say they were. What
has become of little Phillis?”
“Didn’t you know? She married Jim
Dorsey about fifteen years ago and is
living in Indiana now. She has four
or five bo3 r s, and the oldest one is
named after me. Every year she sends
me one of those mince pies she used to
make and I have a feast all by myself,
but as long as my memoiy lasts I am
not lonesome for company. But the
pies don’t taste the way they used to.”
“ I have noticed that too. My wife
makes what she calls doughnuts, but
they are no more like the kind we used
to steal out of the cupboard than they
are like turkeys’ eggs. The old days
were the best, after all, Billy. We had
no worries. No perplexities. No busi
ness cares. We never had to hustle
around and meet notes in the days
when we played hookey. We never
had to lie awake at night and plan for
the future. The trouble with us then
was we didn’t appreciate our pleasures
when we had them.”
“No, indeed; if we had known how
much worse we would fare I am afraid
we would never have grown old. I
think I should be wearing kilts and
knickerbockers now, and I am sure I
never should have gotten out of the
first reader.”
“Pa!” interrupted a childish voice
from the little bedroom at the head of
the stairs. “Pa!”
“Yes, my boy,” replied the parent.
“To-morrow’s Saturday, ain’t it?”
“ Yes. ”
“Then I don’t have to go to school,
do I?”
“No, my son.”
“When I get to be a man I won’t
have to go to school at all, will I?”
“ No, my boy.”
“Sa3% pa, I wish 1 was a man right
oft‘. I hate being a boy and going to
school.”— Benjamin Northrop , in N. Y.

And filled with poetic fancies
That the soulful scene inspirti,
How it doth make my bosom
With angry feelings glow
To hear my wife shout: “Hi! com* aow
And shovel off the snow!”

How a Tiger Strikes His Prey.
An Englishman in Madras has, by &
lucky accident, made a photograph of
a tiger in the act of seizing its prey.
The camera was focused on a buffalo
tied to a stake some thirty feet off, and
had just received a dry plate when a
tiger leaped from the jungle and struck
down the buffalo with a single blow.
The operator kept his presence of mind
and released the shutter before taking
to his heels. The negative proved a
poor one, but showed the relative atti
tudes of tiger and buffalo pretty well,
and confirmed the generally accepted
opinion that the tiger with his knock
down blow endeavors to dislocate the
neck of his victim.— Baltimore Sun*

I hesitated to mention it, except for the good it

the earth, with no relief. And at last (57 years

me entirely—made me anew inan. I weighed

Many baking powders are very pernicious
to health, and while every one regards his
own, he should also have a care for the tender
ones— the little children.

powders—soda or saleratus. It contains no
hurtful ingredient—no alum or ammonia.
SCIENTIFIC.
All Chemists who have analysed Pea Foam
commend it. Housekeepers who have used it
will have no other. Cooks, whose best efforts
have failed with other powders, are jubilant
over Sea Foam. Saves time, saves labor, saves
money.
It is positively unequaled. A bsolutely pure.
