KIDNEY CURE.

There is no disease so insinuat- s ing, so slow but sure, as kidney dis I ease, or so widespread. The symp- toms are so slight as to generally escape notice.
 The first indications appear in the urine, with varied effects. The quantity may be increased or de- creased; it is likely to be highly col ored and scalding; it may be pale or thin, or thick and milky with a sediment. Later on more pro- nounced symptoms will be present, such as dizziness, bloating, etc, with marked bladder and urinary
 disorders.
 Poisonous waste matter is collected
 by the blood from aH parts of the sys
 tenn and carried to the klGneys, where
 1t is separated and cast out through theI

 We do not need to give all the reasons why Scott's Emulsion restores the strength and flesh and color of good health to those who suffer from sick blood.
 The fact that 1t is the best preparation of Cod Liver Oil, rich in nutrition, full of healthy stimulation is a suggestion as 10 why 1t does what 1t does.

DEATH IN PULPIT.
Rev. T. F. Allen Stricken with
ApOplexy in His Mime
apOlis Church.

apOliS Church.
Was Formerly Pastor at Warren.
The Minneapolis Tribune gives
the following account of the sudden
death of Rev. DR.. Allen, who was
pastor of the NJ. E. church in this
city number of years ago:
After a long life spent in preach
ing the Gospel, Rev. DR.. Truman F.
Allen Of the Thirteenth Avenue
Methodist Episcopal church, at
Thirteenth avenue south and Ninth
street, was stricken by apoplexy
while addressing his congregation
at half past eleven o'clock yesterday
(Sunday) morning, and died a few
hours afterwards.
DR.. Allen had been in the very
best of health up to the time of his
seizure, and almost every day last
week rode to and from his regular
ministerial visitations on his bicy-
Gle. Although 63 years Of age, he
was hale and hearty, and showed
no trace of the many winters which
had passed over his head.
AT THE SERMONS CLOSE
It was Immediately after the SER
mon that the sudden summons
came. He had Just arisen and an.
nouneed the hymn, and said: s'Let
US sing" when he, was seen to stag,
ger. Many friends rushed to, his
assistance and gently laid him back
in his chair. p s#;H s..
His daughter, who was in the con-
gregation, rushed to him, and spoke
to him. His presence of mind under
the grave danger was remarkable.
He told her that he was we'll aware
that the end had come; and that he
could not have wished for a better
death than dying in the harness.
He bade her and her mother good
bye before losing consciousness, re-
quested her to look for certain pa
pers, describing their location.
These contain reports which he was
to have read before the Northern
Minnesota conference, which will be
held in Duluth this week.
AS soon as possible he was car
ried to his home, 926 Thirteenth
ave. south, in his chair, into which
he had dropped. Death occurred
at "a quarter past three o'clock Sum
day afternoon. s.. 4. GER
HIS PAsTORATE ANNIvERsARY.
Rev. DR.. ALLEN completed Sunday
his sixth year as pastor Of the
church, and the congregation had
asked the conference to continue
him for another year. "a request
was also sent to the conference by
the Anoka, Minn., M. E. church,
which wanted him to return to it's
pulpit, in which he. had preached
for five years before coming to Min
neapolis. During the first two
years of his residence here he serv-
ed as pastor of the Lake st. NJ. E,
church, where he attracted atten-
tien by his Sunday evening sermons
on liquor and gambling.
He was one of the best known and
most popular preachers in Minnea-
polls, and one of the most promi-
nent Metodist preachers in the
North west. ..
The sermon which DR.. Allen was
to have preached Sunday night was
on The True Meaning Of Life, :"
and was to have been crowning
effort of much diligent study and re-
search into the mysteries OF life.
His congregation had been anxious
ly expecting to hear his exposition
Of this important question.
| A widow and a daughter, Mrs.
Lundin, survives him. Another
daughter died last winter in Cali
fornia. DR.. Allen was Mason and
a member Of the Commandery.

John Wesley's Presence.
(Eyerybody's MagaZine.)

A small man physically, John Wesley
had in remarkable degree that which
we call presence" Men felt, as they
heard him speak, and came under the DOM
ination of his personality, that he was
man Of power. He did not seem small to
them. Indeed, he often seemed more than
man. Two boys once came to hear him
preach, determined to stone him. Their
pockets were full of rocks, and they car
ried stones in each hand. After Wesley
began to speak, they stood open-mouthed
and wide-eyed for a few moments, and
then one, dropping his stones, said to his
neighbor, Hes not man! He's not a
mani" After the meeting was over one
Of the youths stood near a gate where
Wesley must go out, and as he passed
slowly, the young fellow pinched Wesley's
leg through his clothing, and shouted, He
is a man! He is man" Wesley laid
his hand upon the boys head, and said,
God bless thee, my lad" Afterward this
boy became one Of the Evangelists most
faithful preachers.

CEDARS OF LEBANON.
Only a Few Left of These Sacred Relics.

There are only about 400 trees High
up on the rocky slopes, Hadrian scuiptured
his imperial anathema against all who
should cut these sacred trees; the Maron-
te peasants almost worship them, and call
them the 'Cedars of the Lord; and a re-
cent Governor of the Lebanon has sur
rounded them by a great wall, so that
the young shoots may not be injured by
rowing animals. Yet, century by century,
their numbers grow less. :,
But if the cedars are few In number,
these few are of royal blood. They are not
the largest of trees, though some Of the
trunks measure over 40 feet around. Their
beauty lies in the wide-spreading limbs,
which often cover a circle 300 or 800 feet
metrical, with beautiful horizontal
branches: others are gnarled and knotted,
with inviting seats in the great forks, and
charming beds on the thick foliage OF the
swinging boughs.
The wood has a sweet odor, is very
hard, and seldom decays. The vitality of
the cedar is remarkable. dead tree IS
never seen, except where lightning or the
axe has been at work. Often great
bough of one tree has grown into neigh
bor and the two are so bound together
that it is impossible to say which is the
parent trunk. Perhaps the unusual strength
and vitality of the cedars are due to their
slow growth. When a little sprout. hardly
waist-high, is said to be ten or 10 or 20
years old, one can not help asking What
must be the age of the great patriarchs of
the grove? 1t is hard to tell exactly by
! the aid of microscope | have counted
more than 700 rings ON bough only 80
| inches in diameter. Those who have
studied the matter more deeply, think that
some of these trees must be more than
| 1000 years old. Indeed, there is nothing
wildly improbable in the thought that per-
| haps the Guardian" for instance, may
have been Il young tree when Hiram be-
gan cutting for the temple at Jerusalem'-'
