"My Darling's iad."
A lady entered a car on the Oak
wood road one day the past week lead
ing a little girl, perhaps four yoars ti
old. The mother sat down and litted 1
the little one to the seat beside her. it
The child was nibbling at a bit of cake 9
of sugar, now and then turning her
face, full of childish love up to her a
mother, and murmuring some almost ti
unintelligible words of af'ection.
Opposite to mothor Itid child sat ai
rt
other younger lady, who often smelled i
a fresh rose which she 1101(. The in- ti
nocent little'one before her attracted ti
i
her attention, and the natural kindness
of the sympathetic wonian heart
prompted her to at once ol'er the fra- 1
grant flower to the little budding lilly Ii
oipposite. So she leated a bit forward a
and spoke :i
"Baby want the posey ?''
But the child seemed not to hear.
Perhaps it was the noise of the moving ''
car that. preyented. Then she spoke i it
little louder and held the flower for- It
ward temptingly :sI
"Baby may have the posey."t
'l'he imother heard, for she looked to- s
ward the other lady and smiled-and ill
0, such a look of heartfelt gratitude of tl
motherly love. yet heavily saddened
with such an expressive tinge of sorrow of
as is seldom seen. And still the lady wt
of the rose pressed upon the little one ti
nt'ecptance of the Ilower.
"1;atby, take the rose," holding it al- i
miost to the child's hands. And now it to
seemed she was heard, for the blue at
eyes turned fu11 upon her would-be a
patron, and then in a ioient she 01
strangely drew back and turned her le
eyes appeali ngly toward her mother's t
face. The lady with the flower show- t,
ed her bewilderment in her look, while al
at pained expression f1itted across the al
11aCe of the Mother, who leaned forward hi
and whispered just a word :lt1
''My darling is blind !"1

Is the moot important question to-day with
suffering millions who, when looking at the
r long list of useless pile nostrums fool as the
Sfl icted Bible Patriarch, like exclaiming : "I
have heard many such things miserablo com.
forters are yo all, how long will ye vex my soul
' and break me in pieces with words?" It is not
d recorded that Job had piles, but he could not
have had anything more painful, and the sawe
j question might have boon asked then as since
for three thousand years : can piles be cured ?
Wo believe that Dr.tilsboo has solve.d the prob
low for nothing is more certain than that his
"Anakosls," does absolutely and promptly ,ure
the worst cases of piles. When half a milkion
of afflicted assert positively that it has cured
them and in 20 years no one has used the doe
tor's wonderful remedy without instant relief,
and by following his simple instructions as to
habit and diet were, benelitted and over 95
per cent cured, all arguments and theories of
8 those who havn't used them, go for naught.
Anakosis is now prescribed by physicians of
t all solools and has been pronounced as near
infallible as is possible. It is easily applied,
perfectly safe, instantly relieves pain, and ul
pumately oures the most inveterate cases. It
- has grandly solved the problem that Piles can
be cured. Samples of "Anakesis" are sent

IThe fact that "Blower" Brown, who
won the great six days' match ini
England by a score of 543 miles, and
that Weston, who won it back from
him by a score af 550 miles, were both
forty years of age seen to show that fot
t some efforts men reach their piysical
prime later than has been supposed,
For athletics of some kinds a man Is at
his best under thirty, as in wrestling,
swift short-distanice running, boxing,
etc. But in long distance matchos,
which are trials rathar of endurenee
than of strength and dexterity, the
men of over forty have left the young
men J" behind, anti utterly broken
i down, while they conic out fresh at the
D 1lnish. Something analogous to this ie
found in trotting horses. Horses that
run reach their prime at four or flvt
years; the trotters often do their best
work at the ago;of; twelve or fourteenl
years. The reason may perhaps be in
this, youih is nore;supple and llexlbk
' and its movemients, therefore, less reg.

ular and systematic than those of ma
r turity. The walk of a young man has
not the machine-like regularity anid
1 precision that characterize the pace of
ei a walker of long practice. There h
' consequently some loss of power. The
suppleness that Is necessary to enablt
j the athlete to run at top of epeed, is in
his way when machine-like preclson of
pace is the great disideratum. Tlt
same remark applies to the trotting
horse. Tie trot Is usually an acquirei
gait, the result of long, practice aml
- training. The steadiness of stride that
r does not "break up" is of the utmost
importance. But still the recent result
ol' the pedestrian matches in England,
which twice gave the victory to imen
over forty, when the men of twenty
live and thirty were utterly prostrate(]
