Arc you afflicted with

*or an}* form of

Rectal Trouble?

You can be easily cured. The following are the most common diseases of tho rectum from which people Buffer:

PILES INTERNAL,

External, bleeding and itching. (Pruritus), polypus, iistulae, iissure, catarrhal inflammation, and ulceration.

Until within the last fmv years, the operation for 1jilkr or HEMMowaroins was a serious undertaking on the part of the patient. The knife, caustic cautery hooks and .ligature were the only alternatives.

But now there is no longer an excuse for suffering from Piles or Uectal Ulcer, as the treatment is painless, simple and safe.

8o*aLl Thing* hi Tolcfijrapliy. "Telegraph operators learn to appreciate the importance of small things," remarked a knight of tho electric key the other night. "The emission of a 6ingle wdftl or letter, or even a solitary dot or dash, in tho transmission of a message may cause most serious consequeiSes. The new writing and printing telegraphs undoubtedly would go far to insure accuracy were they in general use, but, take my word for it, no invention, however great, is going to be able to displace the old fashioned key and sounder for the next half century at least. "The only way to secure absolute accuracy under the present system is to repeat all messages back to the sending station for comparison with the original manuscript, but this is done only in cases of the utmost importance. The proportion of errors in transmission, however, is very small indeed when the immense volumo of business is considered. Yet occasionally very queer errors occur. "I remember sending a message to Cleveland addressed thus, 'John Blank, icareStreibinger, Cleveland, Ohio.' The Streibinger House is one of the oldest and best known hotels in Cleveland, and the dispatch was exactly equivalent to 'John Blank, care Grand Pacific,

Chicago, Ills.' The message was undelivered, and after several inquiries I received an answer, 'No such vessel as as steamer Eibinger in harbor here.' The

Cleveland operator in receiving my dispatch had mistaken the first three letters of the word 'Streibinger' for the customary abbreviation for*'steamer,' and thus converted 'Streibinger' into 'steamer Eibinger.' "—Chicago Mail.

Good Form in Atldreiising a Lady. A lady who has not beeii^married and Is no longer young should be addressed And mentioned by every one, except her household, with the prefix of "Miss" before her name, even though the number of daughters in her family makes it necessary for the sake of definiteness to include her baptismal name also when mentioning her. To use a first

nam*

when conversing vitli an. elderly unmarried woman is in bad form. Had the fine old custom been retained of addressing matrons and all unmarried women who wera no longer youthful as Mistress speech with them would be far more elegant than it is— /'Mrs.," as a word, meaning nothing.

In notes and speech a young unmarried lady is addressed as Miss by gentlemen, mere acquaintances and servants but her own family and kinsfolk call her by the name which was given to her at baptism, and it is not sonsidered in good form to speak to or of her otherwise. Tho use of "Miss" by her own 6ir?Ja leaves no distinctive method by which remoter persons may speak to or of a young girl. This formality may be criticised, but according to the social etiquette of New York, it is the usage of the very best society, and has an excellent reason underlying it

For a dear woman friend to speak to, or indeed of, a young lady by any but her first name, except to a social inferior, would be inelegant for the rea*on already given.—Exchange.

That Com* True.

The moon is believed to possess great power as a medium of the fates. The new moon, if seen first over the left shoulder, will bring any wish true if made then and there, looking through a plain gold, ring but to see the new moon first through the trees means certain misfortune of some sort. A wish made at the sight of a load of hay will come true, so the school girls say and little children whisper their wishes to the thistle down, then blow it into the •far toJook for Santa Glaus.—Detroit

Why We do not Publish the Names of Cured Cases. Wo are often asked why we do nob r: publish the names of our cured patients. Many people nro sensitive about hnving their names in print, even if there is nothing private about their case. But more than hulf of tho oases treated by us, or any other physician, has something of a private nature about it, and as the secrets of our patients are sacred with us, we do not use their names in print, although many of our cured and grateful patients oft'or us a certificate of cure, and wo have many grateful lot-, ters from patients, but wo do not care to subject them to tho task of paying postage nnd answering numorous letters of inquiry, or to bo bored by numerous callors to inquire into their past aches and pains. Our many cured cases send us hundreds of others and are constantly increasing our business. This is advertisement enough for us without our publishing their names and addresses.

It may be a superfluous task to paint the lily or to gild refined gold, but the regreening of vegetables has assumed the proportions of a gigantic industry, which has its headquarters in Franco, gives employment to 20,000 persons, and represents a business of 40,000,000 francs. .Nine-tenths, at least, of the green preserved vegetables sold in France or abroad are said to be regreened with sulphate of copper in order to give thom the appearance of freshness.

The Glasgow health committee have decided that, as the French government have annulled their regreening prohibition, it remains for consumers to take care of themselves. "A foolish.British public," says the Glasgow report, "expects to get green peas at Christmas •uch as it gets from the market gardens in summer. The French manufacturer makes them to suit this whim. The consequence is that it eats stale pea* greened with sulphate of copper all the year round."

A curious fact is said to be that the largest sale of preserved peas taken place in that period of the year when fresh peas are in season.—Newcastle (England) Ctowi*^

The square in Kilby street opposite the Mason building must be somewhat like the old inn starting places of the stage coaches in the days before the railroads. The suburban and country expresses rendezvous there in great numbers, and there are some very queer conveyances and animals, not to Bpeak of drivers, in the early afternoon, when the expresses that run clear out to Dover and Natick and Sherborn and Linooln and such places are preparing to «et out on their long drive homeward. It takes a good horse to make one of these trips into town and back in a day, and every day too but the horse is not chosen for his good looks, but for his hard muscles and his trustworthy bead and legs.

He is a little apt to be angular. Ton night be, gentle reader, if you to amble from Billerica to Boston u»i back every day. The wagons that •lake these long country tripe are not the spruce, well painted vehicles that •me sees going about in town.—^

The frequent discoveries of buried treasures on the site of ancient cities in Asia and southern Europe might suggest the idea that the lap of oar mother earth must have been the favorite savings bank of the Mediterranean nations, but a more plausible explanation can be found in the barbarous war methods of pagan antiquity. Not Attila and Tamerlane only, but many leaders of civilized nations, made it a frequent practice to punish the resistance of defiant garrisons by the absolute demolition of hostile cities. The houses, with such hidden valuables as their vaults might contain, were knocked down with battering rams, after the inhabitants, to the last man, had been either slain or marched off in chain gangs.—Philadelphia Times.'

Whit IrWk Fa I visited the Island of Anhill, in Connema.ru. I trust I may never again have to endure the agony I endured that day—seeing men, women ami children perishing all about me, without the possibility of giving relief. All of the food of every kind on the had been consumed. In more +hwn one instance I saw a family feeding on boiled nettles. The next day I was driving with a farmer, a gentleman of wealth and position, on the main lfind Talking over the misery I had witnessed, he said, "And yet I cannot say I have lost a single sheep on the mountain."
