FROM DEATHS DOOR.

Hillsdale, ILL.,, April 29th.-Much in
terest has been aroused here over the
case of William Marks, who has been
in a dying condition for several
months with an apparently incurable
Kidney Disease.
The leading physicians of this place
had pronounced his case hopeless
one, and others from Port Byron,
Geneseo, and Davenport, Ia, had at
tended him, and in consultation de-
cided that he could not live.
In desperation, his nephew inquired
of Mr.. L. F. Giles, local druggist, as
to last resort. Mr.. Giles suggested
Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which
had just been introduced here.
The results were marvellous. Mr..
Marks Immediately began to improve,
and within a few weeks was able to
be up and about, completely cured
His cure is the talk of the neigh
hood, and is considered nothing short
of a miracle.
There appears to be no doubt that
this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills,
will cure any case of Kidney Disease,
for the more malignant forms, such
as Bright's Disease, Diabetes, and
Dropsy, yield readily to its remark.

Chronic Kidney Disease have hitherto
been considered incurable, and have
baffled all medical skill, and yet, this
new remedy has cured every single

HE HAD FIGURED IT OUT.
How Lord Kelvin'sA Faith in His Own

illustrated.

Lord Kelvin is justly regarded as
one of the most distinguished scien-
lists of this or any other age. He is
but a little less than 80 years of
age, but still retains the position,
that he has held for over two-score
years, of professor of natural philos-
ophy in the University of Glasgow,
the institution where he himself was
educated. AS professor he has some
peculiarities and one of them is the
habit of saying when a doubling
question is put to him as to the alb
solute certainty of some proposition:
Didn't figure that out myself?"
The question is not put irritably
or egotistically, as a rule; it is mere
ly the natural remark of a man who
has been an acknowledged leader OF
worldwide fame for so many years.
One day when lecturing on elec-
tricity he told his class that while
a voltage of 5000 or so would be IA
tai to a man a voltage of, say, some
100000 would be perfectly harmless.
With a current of far more than
ordinary voltage he was going to give
them practical illustration of the
fact on himself, right there before
them. The students could hardly be-
ieve their ears, but as he stepped to-
ward the electrical transformer CRY
of dissent and horror went up.
"Try it on a dog! Try it on an
animal!'' came from all parts of the
lecture room. nfj l.4-

her and binding cloud of spray

Now. just for experiment, I'll sit down
and then YOU must lock me in.'s
Mrs. Nolan consented readily. She
seemed better at rehearsals than at
performances.
Owing to the shallowness of the
closet Mrs. Goddard was obliged to sit
sidewise, but she looked very comfort
able as she leaned back against her
gowns and skirts.
Now. close the door," she said. And

spot on the deck. She saw the cap

her book and allowed him to pass

PHILOSOPHY OF DRESS.
Why Woman's Size Appears to Vary
According to the Color Of
Her Gowns,

That the color of a woman's dress
can make her look larger or smaller
is a fact that many professional dress
makers now take into consideration.
Dressed in black and dark hues,
stout women look smaller both in the
street and when out walking; and by
a use of the same hues, the dimensions
of small people are SO decreased that
they appear like dwarfs.
The optical effect of white and light
colors is to enlarge all objects, and
make the stout woman who wears
them almost mountainous in her ap-
pearance. She need not, however.
look dingy and dull, for the rich, dark
hues offered to her for selection are
varied and numberless. Greens and
blues, in their various shades, are bet
ter than reds, giving an effect of re-
pose and distance.
All ight-colored materials should
be avoided for the waist. During the
awkward age of girls, between the age
of 10 and IA, dark blue or plain red
cashmere or serge is found to be pro-
ductive of the best results.
In choosing colors for dresses, the
complexion must, Of course, be taken
into account. Those with sallow, dark
faces should select clear tints, and
scrupulously avoid glaring bright and
decided hues. Those who possess
clear skins and pale faces may wear all
shades of rose, primrose, buff, light
green, lilac, brown and violet.
Florid persons should wear the tints
that subdue color and give the effect of
distance, such as blue and green. The
most lucky of all girls are those with
fair compilations and a color. To
them, few shades will be unbecoming.
Those with pale compilations should
wear only fresh colors such as cherry
and pink.
Color in dress not only exerts an in
fiuence over the beauty of the wear
err, but also over her health. Dark
colors are found to absorb and give
out smells of all kinds to far greater
extent than the light, and it is for
this reason that professional nurses
are not allowed to wear black dresses.
1t is said that for nurses black cotton
is bad, black wool worse and black
silk the most injurious of all. Some
doctors refrain from wearing black
clothes when visiting patients for tho
same reason.
The warmth and comfort of the BODY
are also affected by the color of the
clothes which cover it, white and
light-colored fabrics rejecting the
heat and black and dark ones absorb,
ing it. Black, however, throws heat
off sooner, and white clothing retains
the natural heat of the body longe,
| than black,-N. Y. Journal

room! She said something was after
terrifying to kill her! She sprang
over there-there! I had caught hold
of her dress, but she tore loose!"
Here Mrs. Nolan began to show
signs of hysteria. The captain swore
roundly. He dragged the woman to
the door of her stateroom, gave one
hurried look round the room and
then saying to the sailor: 'Take care
of her." he was off to stop the ship.
A moment later the bell rang sharp

the ship foundered helplessly, dan
gerously, in the trough of the sea-
The boat-gang clattered up from be-
low and there was a faint, storm
muffled shouting of commands as q
boat was being lowered.
''Too late!" yelled the captain. "This
sea would send us to the bottom! Moth

There was a moments pause in the
noisy manipulation of ropes and tackle.
then the sailors drew the boat back to
its place and fastened it there. The
ships engines throbbed sluggishly and
there was an attempt, perhaps only for
the sake of appearances, to send the
ship back in the vicinity of the spot
where it was when the alarm was
given; but dangerous head-winds rem
dered this impracticable. In a few min
utes the Cleopatra was forging ahead
as if nothing unusual had happened.
Mrs. Nolan refused to remain in her
stateroo,n. She. escaped the sailor
when his back was turned and, ran
along the deck wringing her hands and
waiting. A group of passengers had
ventured to the head of the stairs and
stood shivering in the wind and spray.

CHAPTER x.

The eighth day was characterized
by events which discouraged the pas
sengers, who were anxious to end
their long confinement to the ship.
A heavy fog had fallen during the
night and the vessel, with deafening
shrieks of the foghorn, was cropping
her way as slowly as great raft. A
delay of not less than IL hours might
be counted on. declared expert judges
of nautical matters.
Mrs. Goddard and Mrs. Nolan were
as usual on deck sitting side by
side when the second officer passed.
He was hailed by an anxious voyager.
"How long is this going to last, real
ly?'' asked the passenger.
''Oh, it's lifting rapidly" was the
answer. You won't hear the fog
horn much longer. In fact, we are

was rocking, frothing, tossing in fury.

their room and held whispered con-
