It is one of the commonest diseases and one of the most obstinate. People have it for years and just because it is not immediately fatal they neglect it. Carelessness causes no end of suffering. Carelessness about so simple a thing as piles has often caused death. Hemorrhages occur from no apparent cause and loss of blood causes death.

Hemorrhages occur during surgical treatment, often causing death. Piles are simple in the beginning and easily cured. They can be' cured even in the worst stares, without pain or loss of blood, quickly, surely and completely. There is only one remedy that will do it Pyramid Pile Cure. It allays the inflammation immediately, heals the irritated surface and with continued treatment reduces the swelling and puts the membranes into good, sound, healthy condition.

The cure is thorough and permanent. Druggists sell the Pyramid Pile Cure at 50 cents. Send for free book on cause and cure of Piles by addressing Pyramid Albion, Mich. GIANT HIPPOPOTAMUSES. The Only Ones Said to be on Exhibition to be Here May 4.

One of the rare and, said to be, exclusive features to be seen in the united menageries, circuses and hippodromes of the consolidated Great Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers' Shows to appear in this city May 4, is the only pair of full grown hippopotamuses exhibited in any traveling collection, and said to be the hugest and finest specimens of their remarkable amphibious species ever in captivity. Purchased by the Messrs Sells eighteen yars ago, when but babies, under intelligent and assiduous care they have thriven amazingly and grown to be veritable monsters, each of which is as heavy as an ordinary adult elephant. It is also a fact of great interest and surprise to naturalists that these most sensitive tropical creatures have been gradually acclimated to live, with the liveliest enjoyment, in water at the freezing temperature; a circumstance as extraordinary as it would be to find a polar bear at home in the equatorial pools of darkest Africa. These fearfully and wonderfully made amphibious, blood sweating African Behemoths command and deserve universal inspection. They are exhibited both in a monster tank and loose upon the hippodrome course.

WORK AMONG YOUNG MEN. What the Christian Associations Have Done and Are Doing. The International Young Men's Christian Association Committee gives out some interesting figures concerning work during the last two years. Of 1,429 associations in North America, an aggregate membership of nearly 243,000 is reported, more than one-half being active members a growth of 2 per cent Twenty-five new buildings are reported, or 330 in all, valued at an increase of ten per cent, in valuation. There has been an increase of eight per cent, in net deducting the indebtedness of $4,500,000 upon buildings and oihsr real estaite.

There is an increase of seven per cent in the amount of building, library, educational, and endowment funds in hand. Twelve hundred and fifty-one men give their entire time to the prosecution of this work, and iSJhere are fifty-nine other positions temporarily vacant. Gymnasiums are maintained in 512 associations addition to the outdoor athletics carried on generally. It has at present more than three times as many practical gymnasts as are found in any cither organization, and two normal schools for physical directors are maintained. Pracical gymnasts, in the Association use of that term, refers to practical body building, and not to feats of strength or agility per so, in which over 50.000 men participated in the period covered by the report.

Libraries, literary societies, lectures, entertainments and socials show increased attention to each of these means of reaching young men. Over 25,000 different students are reported in the educational classes, which are designed to fit young men for enlarged opportunities in their lines of business. The most important feature of the report to which all others are tributary is the religious work. There has leen an increase of twenty-one per cent, in the attendance of young men at the Association Bible classes, and a slight advance i3 noted in the attendance at Gospel meetings. One hundred and twenty-five, railroad branches are in existence, maintaining rest roams, restaurants, sleeping accommodations, temporary hospitals, and all the other lines of Association effort.

There are 475 college associations, fifty-eight associations for co'xxred young men, forty-one situated in schools and colleges, forty-six Indian associations anrvong the North American Indians, and 338 departments for boys.

UULULVyyourtfiirst MIRES Peats in the Ring Grow More Daring Each Year. LEARNERS HAVE IT' EASIER. Than In the Old Days-KMers Know That the Koad to Success Is Marked by Many Tumbles and Various Misliaps. Next Tuesday inaugurates the circus season in Elmira; and now every circus will strive to outdo the one before.

In no department of ring amusements have there been mere changes than in the very oldest elements of the circus the man and the horse which are presented in novel combinations of exercise for such increeased effect that riding in the ring is not at all what it used to be. Twenty years ago the equestrian feats of the circus were performed on a great flat surface called a pad, that took the place of a saddle, and was about as easy to stand upon as a trolley car floor. North and Madigan, famous riders in their day, won their reputations on the pad, and when North turned a somersault on that prairie-like thing the feat was esteemed wonderful. But fifteen years shice Fredericks and Loyal began doing "jockey acts," and the absurd old pad passed away forever. The man, balancing himself erect upon a swiftly galloping horse, leaping airily to that perch from the ground and almost realizing the fabled Centaur in his performance, made ridiculous the one prancing and attudinizing on a moving barndoor.

The old timer's only remaining hold upon regard was his ability to turn somersaults. Even that passed from him when John Glenroy proved that somersaults could be turned upon a barebacked horse. And James Robinson went still further in development cf the new equestrianism of the arena. To-day the skill and finish of the rider, to be acceptable to the public, must be infinitely beyond the standard that sufficed only a few-years ago. And a vast dieal of work is necessary for acquirement of that ability.

Only by years of patient, laborious and sometimes painful practice can the art of equitatiom be acquired, even when there is natural inheritoncy of capacity- for it. That, of course, does not apply to such horsemanship as enables one with measurable safety to get on a horse and go somewhere, but to the degree demonstrated by a first-class circus rider. From the start a eircua rider is taught upen a barebacked horse; first to stand easily and grace-fully, then to leap up upon the animal and poise him- self while in rapid motion; then to jump over objects, and finally to turn somersaults and pirouettes in the air, alighting safely upon the galloping steed. First of the somersaults comes the forward one, next the backward and finally that which is most difficult, known technically as "the backward back" when the rider stands with his face reversed from the direction his horse is galloping and turns over backward. Anybody can get a little idea of some of the inconveniences of that evolution by stepping off backward from a moving street car.

It is not recommended except for the experience. Once is enough, except for the rider getting his education. He must keep at it until he can land squarely on his feet and maintain himself erect. To do that he must for months practice forty or fifty pomersaults every day. Rose Wentworth the only wo-; man who turns a somersault on a barebacked horse affirms that in six months she turned seventy a day.

Few would have the strength or courage to do so much. But it is only fair to re-j member she was helped by the "me- chanic," which was especially rigged for her with two ropes instead of one, which, no doubt, not only saved her from many bad falls, but relieved her of much wearying nerve-tension, It takes about five years, according to one expert's estimate, for a pupil, with good constant practice, to acquire ability to stand firmly and with ease upon a galloping horse; as much mere for him to learn properly the feats of the "jockey acts," and five more to become proficient in the somersaults and pirouettes. In all this time, but more particularly in the early portion of his course of training, he must also learn and practice both dancing and tumbling, so that he may have under quick control every muscle of body and limbs, and that he may bear himself with assured ease and grace. Even when he has attained position as a skilled performer he must keep up his practice constantly, or his muscles will lose something of their lightning-like responsiveness to the impulse of his will, and his balance less perfect. Every first-class rider does five times as much riding daily, even in the tenting season, out of the public's sight, as he does at the matinee and even-; ing performances.

And the winter months are for him not periods of rest and relaxation, as may be supposed popularly, but seasons of arduous, toilsome training, both for himself and his horses.

Kind of Course Acceptable The Century Road Club of America will recognize only such cycle records as are made on the public highway accordance -with the following rules; provided, that no more than one-tenth of the entire distance ridden shall be on asphalt, -wood-block, stone or brick pavement, or park boulevards.

I. Classification of Records Two separate and distinct classes of distance records are recognized; straightaway and standard courses. A straightaway course may be. defined as one having starting and finishing ipoints at different places and in one direction, or course laid out in a straight line. A standard courre as an out-and-home course, thus compelling the rider to go both ways.

Any advantage gained such as down grade, mind, on outward trip must naturally 'be contended with on the return; thus equalizing matters. The adoption of a rule recognizing records over standard courses tends to place ail riders on exactly the same basis. "Wherever practicable in courses measuring rnbre than, five miles the starting and finishing point should ibe In center of course with turns at both ends. 3. Classes of Records Recognized Standard distances: one, five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, fifty, seven-(ty-five, 100, 200, 800, 400, 500 and 1,000 miles.

Twelve and twenty-four hour records. Thirty and sixty day century and mileage records. Club century survivors record. City to city and century course records. Individual century ajid mileage records for the calendar year.

Xo distinction -will be made between paced, unpaced and competitive records. 4. Length of Course Permissible (other than straightaway) A standard course may be either circuitous, out-and-home, or one as defined in rule 2, with starting and finishing point in center with turn at each end. For a one mile record the distance must not be less than one-half mile from start to point of return; for a five mile record the distance must not be less than two and one-half miles from start to point of return; for ten, fifteen, twenty and twenty-five mile records, not less than five miles: for -a fifty mile record, not less than ten miles; for a seventy-five mile record, not less than fifteen miles, and for records of 100 miles and upwards, not less than twenty miles. 5.

Standard Distance Records Either straightaway or standard course, twelve or twenty-four hour records, cyclometers measurement will not be accepted. The course must be a surveyed one and the surveyor's certificate, or a certified copy thereof must be forwarded with claim; and it must 'be proven that the distance as surveyed and claimed was ridden. 6. City to City Records The city or town hall must be used as starting and finishing points. In rides from city to city and return, the starting and findshiiig points must be aj.

city ftaSls. 7. Century Course Records In records over so-called century courses or routes of general interest, the city or town hall must be used as starting and finishing points; except where access to such building through the street is impracticable on a wheel; in which case the start and finish may be made at a point to be determined by the State Centurion of the state in which the ciy is located; due notice of the change to be given to the chairman of the Road Records Committee by said State Centurion, "befoUe any records over such course will be considered, such point to remain as the established starting and finishing point for all century rides out of or into such city. Same rule applies to record rides over routes of general interest, where access to the city hall through the street is impracticable. 8.

and Century Records To establish a claim for mileage or century record for the calendar year, or for thirty and sixty day mileage or eentury record, the committee must be furnished with details of daily riding for the entire period duly sworn to before a notary. A checking book must invariably be carried and made use of by any one trying for an unusually iarge mileage or the national record; said checking book to be filed 9. Club Centurys Survivors Record with the claim at the close of the year. All centuries must be ridden in accordance with the rules governing century rides as laid down by the C. R.

C. The signature of each participant must accompany claim, the same to be a bonafide dues paying member of at least one month's standing in competing club. Said claim to be approved by the 'president and secretary of competing club and sworn to before a notary. 10. Timing Timing at the start and finish must be done by at least three competent persons, each of whom must have a.

-watch; the watches must be compared before the start and adjusted to correspond exactly. If start and finish are in different towns, timing must fbe arranged for 'beforehand, and the six watches adjusted to a common standard. Timers shall certify to udh comparison and adjustment. If there be any variation in, times, the slowest time shall be claimed. II.

A New York Physician Tells of "Bicycle Spine" and Other Diseases.

The almost universal use of the bicycle and the appearances of diseases that arise from its use has developed the bicycle physician. Dr. Earl S. Bullock, who lays down the rules for wheelmen that are printed in a New York paper, is a bicycle specialist. A wheelman for many years, he has made a study of the so-called bicycle diseases, and has gained much interesting information.

"The trouble all arises," said Dr. Bullock, "from overdoing. The century run has proved a popular fad, but a very foolish one. The wheel, as a means of exercise, is valuable, provided the cyclist rides just enough to gain a pleasant feeling of exhilaration without so. greatly fatiguing himself that he is a wreck for hours afterward." "Take the century run, for example.

You have no idea of the aggregate of foot pressure that is necessary to propel a wheel 100 miles. It must of necessity injure the rider, so great is the strain, this strain does not, as seme suppose, bear on every muscle, but only upon a certain set. Therefore, it develops just a single set of muscles to the injury of others. Should bicycle exercise be taken in such a degree as to give the mucles referred to their proper and proportionate amount of exercise, well and good, but just so surras it is overdone, the effect is injurious and opens the way for the ills catalogued under the head of bicycle "The effect on the heart of riding is the same as that produced by alcoholic beverages. Beth stimulate.

If a lit-Ite stimulant alcoholic is occasionally taken, no evil effect is discernible. Overindulgence, however, makes one a physical wreck the next day. "So it is with cycling. Ride a few-miles, just enough to exhilarate, and the result is beneficial. Take too long a ride, and the next day the rider feels as if he had drunk too much.

These facts have been demonstrated to me by personal experience. "The disease called the vibratory movement has become widespread. It is purely a nervous affection and more often afflicts the scorcher. Notice a man who has it, and you will observe that he cannot keep still for a moment. Some part of him is in motion all the time.

"I attribute this affliction to the position of the saddle. The scorcher's saddle isi set in an inclined position, giving him a down-hill tendency all the while. This position i3 altogether unnatural, and cannot fail to produce evil results. I regard the adjustment of the saddle as one of the most, if not the most, important factor in riding a wheel." The list cf bicycle is a lengthy one. Most dangerous of all is "bicycle spine." The pitch forward of the scorcher's body exhausts the nutriment from the pulpy interior of the cushions or intervertebral disks which are placed between the bodies cf the spinal vertebrae.

This portion of the spine loses its soft and spongy-character, and becomes dry and hardened cartilage. Deprived of its elasticity, the bones of the spine draw closer together. ar- 1 gravating the normal curvature. The action of the comnlaint is the same as if a piece cf whalebone were being compressed at the ends. The curve that would result in thf middle of the 1 whalebone is precisely that u-w, backbone of the sufferer from "bicycle spine" will assume when the complaint has become sufficient aggra-ated.

Back pedalling brings on the trouble called "bicycle wrist When the rider treads back on the pedals of his wheel of necessity he tightens his grip on the handle bars. The muscles of both legs and wrists are brought into play in the effort to stay the progress of the wheel. One of the latest and most irritating infirmities for whose origin the wheel is blamed is the "bicycle eye" The sensitive eye cf the wheelman is taxed altogether too much for safety during a long ride. Not only has the rider to face the glare of the sunlight, but the irritating effect of dust that rises in clouds on a windy day. The muscles of the eye, intended only for the most del cate service, are constantly and violently at work for hours under especially irritating conditions.

The focus is taxed to the utmost by the constantly moving vista, and the arteries cf the choroid and iris are greatly overstrained. In a letter to the manufacturers Messrs. Davis Buzard of West Monterey, say: "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has cured people that our physicians could do nothing for We persuaded them to try a bottle of it and they now recommend it, as do the rest of us."

It Was Re-established by an Act of Legislature. Sam Davis, in discussing the subject of Indians, told of the rehabilitation of Johnston Sides. Johnston Sides was a chief of the Nevada Indians, who made quite a fame for himself as a temperance lecturer anions his own people, says the Chicago Record. But one day, "being sick," he took a drink of whisky in the Magnolia saloon, and was observed by some wicked white man, who straightway started the report in full circulation, and Mr. Sides' reputation bade fair to be s-one.

But hp wna on Indian of influence, and, appealing to his white friends, he represented that something must be done. plsu ht wrmM become an outcast from his tribe. He acknowledged drinking the liquor, but told the sick-man storv. Sid- hH always been a fair sort of an Indian, so, as he pleaded and begged, two or three good fellowa in the Legislature asreed to fix thinsrs so that r-rmM go back to his peoDle in Dride of Quest. Accordingly this concurrent resolution was drawn up: Resolved, bv the Lesrislati State of Nevada, the Governor rnrntr.

ring, that the drink of whiskv tai-pn hv Johnston Sides in the Magnolia saloon July ii, be and is hereby annulled." Several speeches were made, and old Sides, surrounded by a big gathering of his tribe, sat in the lobby and heard all with profound interest. When the favorable vote was announced the In-dias set up a weird war cry, which was understood to be applause, and, headed by Johnston, the exculpated, they walked out into a sunshine of great happiness. "TO ONE PRAYER, When the new Populist Board of Charities met here recently to organize nearly 1,900 applications for offices in the various state institutions were laid before it. These requests and petitions for places have been piling up In Governor Leddy's cflice, and it was a great relief for him to unload this great stack of letters upon the shoulders of his board.
