PYRAMIDS OF PAIN
Boils show the blood is in a riotous, feverish
condition, or that it has grown too weak and slug-
gish to throw off the bodily impurities, which
then concentrate at some spot, and a carbuncle
or boil is the result. To ono already enfeebled

only way to avoid or get permanently rid of them is to purify and

BIRD CAME TO COMFORT HER.
Btraage Btorjr Told by Jewish Woman
Mourning Her II unbend' Death.
Mrs. Abram D. Davis, of 430 Ash
land avenue, tells a strange story. Her
husband, who was a prominent mer
chant, died ten daya ago, and she, in
accordance with tbe customs of tbe
Jewish religion, retired to a mourning
chamber with her sister-in-law, Mrs.
U. Frledenberg, of Bradford, Pa.
Tbe period of religious mourning ex
pired at 0 o'clock yesterday morning,
and Just at that hour a bird aa large
aa a sparrow and as black aa night
flew out of tbe gas grate, which was
burning, and alighted at Mra. Davis's
feet Both women tried to scare the
bird away by waving their handa at
it but it stayed three mlnutea, bop
ped about on a table and finally van
ished through the front door.
Mrs. Davis, who had been grief
stricken because of the death of her
husband, to whom she had been mar
ried thirty years, became cheerful at
once. She tella her friends that it bore
a message direct from God telling her
that she should be comforted and that
all would be well. An examination of
the chimney showed that the bird must
have come down the hot chimney
through a hole about an inch square.
Small blackblrda'are foreign to these
parts, and cynical persons say It must
have been a sparrow with a coat of
soot But Mrs. Davla's story has crea
ted a stir in the fashionable district
where she lives. One of tbe persons
who saw the bird ia a Mr. Bornstein,
of 121 West One Hundred and Four
teenth street, -New York, and he cor
roboratea the atory of lta strange
movements. Raubi Aaron of Temple

Divorce Difficult In Canada,
In Canada there are but two things
which can dissolve marriage death
and Infidelity. An applicant for di
vorce must act under the provisions of
a law marked at every step by the
most rigorous limitations. If a man
or a woman for the requirements are
the same wishes to secure a divorce,
a formal notice, giving the names of
applicant and accused with the
ground for accusation, must be insert
ed for six months In two newspapers
published in the town or city where
the applicant resided at tbe time of
separation. No court of law has any
thing to do in granting divorce. To ob
tain divorce the applicant must go to
the Dominion Parliament . The , di
vorces in a generation have not aver
aged over three a year.
