called In, and that it never done unlew
one of the Inmate U trWkrn wilh

The aWxle of the MleerloordUSislori
it the cloister of QulnUval Mare, a long
building containing a larpe number of
Isolated relit, one adjoining the other
and fronting a garden, which also
serve at a cemetery. On the other
tide of the garden It a long ojh'D hall,
where the sister may promenade. The
buildings connecting the wilt and the
hall are on one nlde the chapel, on the
other tide kitchen, atablea, etc.
Tho ulster hold no communication
whatever with the world; they tend
their dayt and half the nights in prayer
and meditation; they never leave the
edifice, and no man U allowed to set
foot wlth'n the building or garden!
unlet It be the sworn physician, called
In in a cane of death or life. Even
priests are excluded from the cloister.
The confessional chair la arranged out
side the main wall in a detached build
ing, priest and penitent communicating
through grated wlndowt. In tho same
mnnr th sister attend church. The
baker, grocer and other merchants do
liver their wares at the gate, placing
them on an iron bracket and ringing a
boll. After awhile tho bracket Is moved
by a tprlng, and turns around to the
garden lde. And again aftor awhile
It resumes its old place with tho money
for the goods, or perhaps a written
order. None of tho trades people has
ever had a look at their patrons.
The physician of the cloister is an
old and trusted man, greatly honored
by the church; he has been called in
only twice during tho last twenty years
and in both cases the patient awaiting
him was beyond medical aid. The
Dhvsiclan receives, however, a fixed
aum for his services every January 1,
notwithstanding the fact that the
Bisters seem to have little use for a
physician.
After Dr. Sforza had been called in
at Cloister Qulnto the other day, he
gave a sketch and description of the
stranire "sick chamber" In which he
found his patient to the artist Mentor
In Genoa, who published it in the
lUmtraziont, of R roe.
The doctor Baid aftor ringing tho bell
he was kept waiting on the outside for
over thirty minutes, being Informed
meanwhile In writing that the sisters
had to prepare for his visit, the prepar
ation consisting mainly in donning
great black veils of horse hair, having
little holes through which their eyes
peeped. Over their heads they wore
large cowls obscuring, together with
the veil, every feature of. the upper
part of their bodies. As nobody is
allowed to enter a stater's eel), neither
man nor woman, the invalid had been
carried to the promenading hall, open
on one side, which is richly decorated
with emblems of the church, pictures
of saints, etc. There the sick woman
was stretched on a couch. Though
the physician knew the restrictions of
the cloister, the abbess informed him
again that he would not be allowed to
see the patient's face, or even her
tongue, and that he must content him'
self with feeling her pulse and her feet
"Under these circumstances," said
the doctor afterwards, ''a cure was out
of the question, especially as only the
abbess was permitted to speak to me
At It happened the abbess knew noth
lng whatever of the sister's Illness; her
cell neighbors might have given me
some information, but the regulations
of the order forbid them addressing
man."
The physician found the feet of the
nun badly swollen, and gave such in'
structions as he was able to do under
the circumstances, but when he re
turned next day, following a hurry call
ne lound her dead. Tbe doctor says
he saw several sisters on this occasion
but only the abbess spoke a few words
to him. Even the sister-ianitress failed
to answer his greetings and questions
except by written words.

CURES DYSPEPSIA.
Sew and K arkable rrcparnlleu.
Not a Secret Talent Medicine.
A new preparation for tbe cure of In
digestion and dyspepsia has recently
been placed on the market, and judging
from cases in which it has been tested
it is undoubtedly tho safest and most
effectual remedy ever devised for the
cure of stomach troubles. It Is not a
secret patent medicine, but is com
pounded of vegetable essences, fruit
salts, pure pepsin and bismuth, put up
in form or lo.enges or tahiets pleasant
to taste, convenient to carry, and in
this form th good qualities are pre
served indefinitely. . The remedy is
called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
the fact that it. is not a secret patent
remedy has made It very popular with
phys'.clans and also with dys'ieptlcs
everywhere who like to know what
they are putting Ink) their stomachs
instead of some loudly advertised pat
ent preparation.
Mr. James Newmestes, or fcau Claire,
Wis., relates his experience with this
excellent remedy as follows:
"1 houcht two packages oi swart s
Dyspepsia Tablets from my druggist. I
bought them because they were highly
recommended to me as a cure ror every
form of indigestion, but I had very
little faith in them or in anything else,
as nothing ever reached my case or
helprd me in all the years I have had
dyspepsia. Well, 1 took the two pack
ages and to say that 1 was pleased ooes
not express it. They helped me from
the start and although I suffered from
Dyspepsia for five long yesrs, yet those
two packages have done me more good
In a sinifle day than any remedy I
hsd tried before. Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are 'he first, thing and only
remedy that ever really heliied rce and
put. my stomach and digestion right."
No matter how mild or how severe
the indigestion may be. these Tablets
will give immediate relief and, regu
larly used, a radical cure.
Anyone wishing to try this new treat
ment can procure it at any drug store
at 50 cents per package.
If your druggist does not have it in
stock he will get it for you if you insist
upon it, as all whol. sale druggists keep
it. . It
Rome, beware: The time is near
when this whole world, both Protestant
and Roman, will have their eyes open

A REMARKABLE CURE.
A Case ef Tiles of Eighteen Years Stand
ing t iired by the Pyramid Pile Cure.
There are plenty of pile cures which
give relief and sometimes cure a mild
case of piles, but there is only one which
can be depended upon with certainty to
cure obstinate, long standing cases, and
that is the Pyramid file Cure.
Endorsements and testimonials are
received daily from men and women
whose integrity and reliability are
above question and in this connection a
letter received from the Kev. Jas. a
Wesbrook, of Bowne, Mich., may be of
interest to pile sufferers who have
sought In vain for a cure. Re says:
I have used the Pyramid Pile Cure
and I know that it is all that is cliamed
for it. I have been troubled with piles
more or less for about eighteen years
and I had tried other remedies, but the
piles srrew worse until about ten months
aeo I used the Pyramid Pile Cure. It
gave almost instant relief and I have
been free from piles ever since.
Rev. Jas H. Wesbrook.
The remedy seems to act equally well
In every form of piles blind, bleeding,
protruding or itching. It stops all
pain almost immediately, allays irrita
tion and removes constipation, and any
one who has suiiered the annoyance
and pain of a rectal trouble will appre
ciate the excellent results which in
variably follow the first application of
the Pyramid.
The Pyramid Pile Cure Is prepared
by the Pyramid Drug Co., of Albion,

the American mechanic and business man.
It therefore appeal to the bead and heart

who swings the scythe or wields the sledge

free discussion of principles relating to the
fostering and care of the Interests of Indi

political or sectarian character Is ever al
lowed to be discussed. It has no affiliation
with such Institutions as Trades Unions.

the like, and desires not to control either
capital or labor, as It would be doing a gross
Injustice to many of Its members, who are

news that the Order Is galulng great strength

ORANGE PlilXClrLRS.
On behalf of the Loyal Orange Lodge of
the United Ktates of America, ana with a
view of correcting the false Impression that
enemies are endeavoring to convey to tbe
minds of men who are unacquainted with
Orange principles, are these few statements
made:
The Loyal Orange Institution Is a brother
hood and sisterhood, bound by three ties-
Justice, Truth and Ulghteousness.
It has no hidden alms
It is Fraternal and Benevolent assisting
and protecting members while living and
their widows and orphans when they are re
moved by death.
t upholds the right of private Judgment
the untrammelled freedom of opinion; be
lieves the public schools are an essential
safeguard of the state, and should be kept
free from ecclesiastical or sectarian control
and that persons disloyal to the government
who hold a mental allegiance to the pope
of Home should be rigorously excluded from
teaching therein.
It believes primary allegiance la due to
the government which protects the lives,
liberties and properties of Its citizens, and
that ecclesiastical authority should aot'
under auy circumstances, be permitted to
meddle In the affairs of state, and that coer
cion of acltUen in the exercise of his or her
right of franchise, under the guise of relig
ious orspirltual authority should be pun
ished as a crime against the state.
That It is the duty of every citizen to de
fend the lawfully constituted authority and
Institutions of our country against corrupt
and Inimical influences, as well as against
armed assailants, to the end that our glori
ous freedom be protected and transmitted
unimpaired to posterity.
It encourages habits of frugality and in
dustry among its members, and Is proud to
boast that Orangemen seldom become a
public charge or accept pauper bread.
It believes in the restriction of Immigra
tion and the extension of time for the natur
alisation of citizens, and that the public
ands shall be held for actual American cltl-
ipna who httcnnie settlers.
The Loval Orange lustllullon or me
Dntted States of America has certain
rmiiilrnnimita for membership:
That a man shall bean actual American
citizen, having compiled with the laws of the
United States with regard to naturalization,
nd without a mental reservation.
Tlmt the amillcant shall be a Protestant,
and also that his parents and wife shall be
rrotestants. ...
That he shall be thrifty and successful In
honorable and truthful In bis
dealings with his fellowman, and shall be
known as a law-abiding citizen.
That, he will endeavor to give his children
or any children under his charge at least a
giMiu common scnooi euucanou, uciuh tare
rui m Rvnm an uonisn uocirines, anu
That he shall be In sound health at the
time of making application.

requirement.
