R D MEANT DEATH.

Aldrich, Mo-, May 27.-Four Of the
best doctors in the vicinity have been
in attendance on Mrs. Mollie Moore, of
this place, who has been suffering with
a very severe case of Nervousness and
Kidney Disease. Each of them told her
that she would die.
Hearing of Dodd's Kidney Pills, she
began to S them, and instantly no.
ticed a change for the better. Her i'm
provement has been continuous since
then. She says that the disease first
manifested itself by the appearance
of dark spots floating before her eyes.
Her nerves were SO bad that many
times they would collapse completely,
and she would fall down as if shot.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved her after four doctors had given
her up, has causedno end of talk in this
neightorhood, and all are loudi in their
praises of this new remedy-Dodd's
Kidney Pills-which is curing - many
hitherto incurable cases, in tk4s state
and elsewhere.

In an island in the Lake of Bombon
is the remarkable Taal volcano, which
is readily accessible from Manila. It's
central crater is oval in shape, a mile
and a quarter r the greatest di-
ameter, and has within it's rim two
lakes of hot water, one yellow and the
other green, and a small active cone so
feet in height, from which escape
steam and sulphurous gases. The
strange colors of the waters are due
to the presence of chemicals evolvedin
subterranean laboratories. The great
est eruption of Taal took place in 1854,
wiping out four villages. Apparently
the volcanic ash lends wonderful fer
tility to the soil, and presently a new
growth of bamboo and palms appear
where desolation had reigned.

President BIancO.

But for the energy and national
pride of Guzman Blanco, ''The Regen-
orator of Venezuela" the city of Car
acas and the country at large would
never have reached their present stage
of progress, says Youths Companion.
The manner in which he learned the
English language affords an excellent
illustration of his remarkable indus
try and determination. While he was
president he made up his mind to mas
ter English thoroughly, and one even
ing summoned DR.. Ernst, of the uni
versity faculty, to the palace. It was
ten o'clock before he was at leisure:
Then he hustled into the libraryto see
DR.. Ernst.
Doctor" he said, ct want you to
teach me English"
Every WE'LL" was the reply, "when
shall we begin?"
"Now."
"But I brought no text books with
me-" said the doctor. 81 will get a
primer tomorrow, and then we can
take it up. The best way is to begin
like a child, at the beginning"
The president opened a drawer of
his desk and took out a well-thumbed
primer, the property of his little
daughter.
81 have been through this by my
self" he said, "and understand it.
Ask ME about it and see."
The professor took the book and
put the dictator through such an ex-
animation as he would have given to
a child.
Every good" he said an hour later.
Tomorrow we will take the next
higher book and have another lesson
"But I prefer, if you are not weary,
to go on tonight" was the reply. 81
have some English books here" and
going to the shelf he took down a
"Life of John c. Calhoun"
The two men, sitting side by side,
commenced with the first line, the
professor pronouncing and explain

tence, and the dictator repeating
everything after him until each point
was impressed on his mind.

And for several months the two
men, both of them mature and famous,
sat down in the library at ten o'clock
