change of lifo coming to
a woman near her forty

her an invalid or jrives
her a new lease on life. Those who

a woman who lays aside the active
duties of womanhood in health sel

years after eh'e has passed 60. This
is truly a critical time.
Mrs-. Laura S. Webb, of Toledo,

BE SLOW to believe the man
Who tells you that surgery is the only way by which a bad case of
piles ran be permanently cured:' he may be honest in his opinion, but
be may us lie mistaken. In this enlightened acre, it is a SHAME
FOR ANY CASK OF PILES TORE CUT. It is wholly unnecessary
for the patient to go into a hospital, take chloroform ami lie in a
ward for weeks, under the inrl uence cf opiates. These crude methods
will soon bo relegated to the rear, by a newer and more humane treat
ment, which cures without endansrerirg life, is !es expensive, and it is
only in exceptional cases that it interferes with the daily pursuits of
the paticrit while under treatment.
PILES like other diseases of the rectum are usually neglected,
because the patient regards this trouble as not being important or
havinsr no bearing- on the general health. This is a very great mis
take, as nothing- w ill uii'lertnine the physical health of the patient so
quii-kly ns a bad case of piles, affecting-, a it does, first, the nervous
svstem. then the bowels, and in turn the digestive organs. Piles, fis
tula and all diseases of the rectum are treated on a jMititive guaran
tee, the patient takes no chance. Do not waste any more time try
ing" salves ami .ointments. . .
The method of treatment removes the tumors absolutely; it never
fails, but it is' no salve preparation. It cannot be sent, for it must be
in the hands of a skilled physician; therefore, patients must come to
the office to receive treatment.
No matter what you may bare Wen told or what your preconceiv
ed opinion may be. thi thing will boar the most thorough probing, and
is worth your while; if not interested yourself, for humanity's take

THE STORY OF A BRIBE."
How m Senator' Vote Was Sold
' Without 2Ii Knonlrdfff.
A former distinguished senator, and a
man who died poor although he spent
his entire life -in public affaire, once
told a very interesting story of how
his vote was sold without Lis knowl
edge. Possibly other senatorial votes
hare been sold in a like manner.
In n Pullman car one day tbe sen
ator renewed the acquaintance of a
prominent railroad man he bad met In
Washington and who, he knew, was in
terested In a land grant bill which had
become a law and had received the
senator's support.
-"Well, your bill got through ail
right." remarked tbe senator, "though
you were so very uneasy about It."
"We had a right to be uneasy," re
sponded the railroad man. "In these
times of antlrailroad sentiment many
public men fear to vote for a railroad
bill."
"Well, I voted for It because it was
a Just measure, and no amount of prej
udice would have scared me," remark
ed the senator.
"Oh, yes, we knew we had your
vote," the railroad mau remarked, with
a peculiar look.
"How did you know it?" asked the
senator sharply.
"Because we paid $5,000 for it," an
swered the railroad man firmly.
The senator gasped, got hfs breath,
demanded an explanation and the par
ticulars of the affair then came out.
It developed that when this bill was
pending the railroad man received in
formation that there was danger of Its
being defeated and came to Washing
ton to see about it. Soon after his ar
rival he met a man whom he knew
slightly as a legislative promoter, and
a number of senators said to be doubt
ful were named; but, added the pro
moter, their votes could be bad for a
consideration.' The price of this par
ticular senator was fixed at $5,000.
"Now, he Is, a little peculiar about
these things," said the promoter, "and
you bad better let me see him first.
Then later in the day you can call on
him and see if he promises his vote."
It seems that this promoter did call
on the senator and mentioned the rail
road bill and said that there was a
man In the city who would be glad to
know that the senator would support
the bill and might call later and bear
him sny so
"Oh. yes." said the senator, "it Is a
good bill, and I'll vote for It, but I have
no time to bother with this man."
Nevertheless, in the afternoon the
railroad man and his friend were
ushered into the senator's committee
room, and the promoter said:
"Senator, this Is the gentleman I
spoke to you about this morning in
terested in that land grant bill. He will
be glad to know it Is all right."
"Yes, It's all right," said the senator.
"The bill ought to pass. and. as I said
this morning, I am going to support
it"
The Incident apparently closed until
renewed afterward upon the train.
"Upon the strength of that inter-1
view," said the railroad man, "we paid
that promoter $o,ooo for your vote."
"Well, it's needless for me to say I
never knew anything about It. But.
tell me, why did you go about any
thing of that kind? Why didn't you
come to me first, without negotiation,
and find out bow I stood and what I
would do?"
"Well, we were so scared we didn't
take any chances on anything." was
the reply.
Telling the story afterward, the sen
ator sald:,"I bad often looked at some
of my colleagues whose reputations
had been Impugned and asked myself,
'Are they knaves or fools?' but after
this Incident, when I felt like criticis
ing a fellow member for being a knave
and taking money for his vote, or
placed in a position where he was sus
pected of It, and therefore a fool, I
would check myself, as some one might
be asking. 'To which class do you be
long? Washington Tost.
. AN AFRICAN ADVENTURE.
Paul da CTiailla'n First Encounter
With sv Monster Oortlla.
In his "Explorations and Adventures
In Equatorial Africa" Paul du Chaillu
tells of Lis first encounter with a go
rilla.
"We saw an immense one coming
straight toward us 'out of tbe woods,'
be wrote. "As be came be gave vent
to terrible howls of rage, as much as
to say, 'I am tired of being pursued
and will face you.'
"It was- a lone male, the kind which
is always the most ferocious. This fel
low made the woods resound with bis
roar, which is an awful sound, resem
bling the muttering of distant thunder,
He was about twenty yards oil when
we first saw him. I was about to take
aim and bring him down where be
stood when my most trusted man, Ma-
laonen, stopped me, saying in a whis
per, 'Not time yet."
"We stood in silence, gun in band.
The gorilla looked at us for a minute
or so, then beat bis breast with his
gigantic arms and what arms be had!-
then gave another howl of defiance and
advanced upon us. How hor."ibIe he
looked !
" 'Not yet,' whispered Malaonen.
"Again the gorilla made an advance
upon us. Now he was not twelve yards
off. His face was distorted with rage.
His huge teeth were ground against
each other so that we could hear the
sound. The skin of the forearm was
drawn forward and backward rapidly,
making his hair move up and down
and givlug a fiendish expression to his
hideous face. Again he roared, a sound
which shook the woods like thunder.
It seemed as if I could feel the earth
trembling under my feet. The beast.
looking us in the eye and beating his
breast, advanced again.
'Don't fire too soon, said Malaonen.
If you don't kill him he will kill you.'
"This time he came within eight
yards of us before he stopped. I was
breathing fast with excitement as I
watched the- huge1 creature. Malaonen
only said, 'Steady! as the gorilla came
up. When he stopped Malaonen said:
'Now!'
"Ami before the beast could utter the
roar for which be was opening his
mouth three musket balls were in his
body. He fell dead, almost without a
struggle."

Roatn For Waterproof.
Rosin is used to form waterproof
paper for use in butchers shops, fish
markets and also for building pur
poses, and, strange to say, this Im
provement reduces the cost of the pa
per. All methods of applying rosin in
solution after the paper is finished add
heavily to its cost and also render it
very brittle, but If the rosin is dis
solved In potash and mixed with tbe
pulp in the beating engine and this
alkali afterward treated with alum it
becomes neutralized and washed away,
leaving the finely " diffused rosin
throughout the whole mass.
It Is also used for protecting the
coarser manufactured products, such
as agricultural implements, against
rust by mixing It in a solution with
benzine. This is applied as varnish,
and the benzine rapidly dries away,
leaving a coat which protects the ma
terial until it goes to the severe service
of actual use. Engineering.

Joint Affliction.
When the Halliday twins were ba
bies their mother always referred to
them collectively. This was natural
enough, for they shared everything,
from their baby carriage to chicken
pox.
As they grew a little older, however,
there were slight difference between
Elnora and Eudora, but Mrs. Halliday
took no account of them. When they
had reached the age of seven, she still
referred to them in a way which struck
casual listeners as amusing.
"Where are Elnora and Eudora?"
asked a cousin, who had come to spend
the afternoon.
"The twins have gone with their fa
ther to have one of their teeth out,"
said Mrs. Halliday calmly. Youth's
