Detroit is amused by the de
cision of a justice respecting the
meaning of the statute which
declares that all saloons shall
be closed on Sunday, and that
"the word 'closed' shall be con-
structed to apply to the back
doors as well as the front doors."
The justice ruled that il the
door was closed, even il unlock-
cd, then the letter and spirit of
the statute were unbroken.
Thus, if an officer were forced
to turn the knob and use a little
exertion in opening the door,
the dealer was on the sale side
of the law.

San Francisco has subscrib-
ed only $33,000 to the Trien-
nial Conclave fund, against the
$93,000 raised in Chicago three
years apo. The expense of en-
tertaining the visitors at the
August conclave will fall large-
ly upon the various home com-
mandaries. It was originally
proposed to beautify the line ol
march at an expense of ^15,-
000, This amount has been
cut down to $10,000 and in-
stead of lour archcs there will
be only two.

A farmer living near Nilcs,
Michigan, heard a_ stranger tell
his dream that money was bur-
ied on the farmer's land. They
went, dug and unearthed 3,000
bright dollars, and divided the
pile, each taking half. As they
felt heavy, the stranger let the
farmer take the 3,000, and was
content with $500 in greenbacks
and the farmers note for$i,ooo,
and afterwards got the note
cashed in town. In about three
weeks the farmer went to .sur-
prise the bank with a big de-
posit, but was surprised himself.
All were counterfeit.

PILES.
PILES are frequently preceedcd by a sense
of weight in the back, loins and lower part
of the abdomen, causing the patient to sup-
pose he has some affection of the kidneys
or neighboring organs. At times, symp-
toms 0? indigestion are present, flatulen-
cy, uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A mois-
ture, like perspiration, producing a very
disagreeable itching, particularly at night
after getting warm in lied, is a very com-
mon attendant. Blind Bleeding and Itch-
ing Piles yield at once to the application of
fir. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acts
