LAKE sHIRwA DISAPPEARS.
" Is the Second Of Livingstone's
Lakes to Dry Up Completely.

" Is the Second Of L~ivingstone's
Lakes to Dry Up Completely.
All maps Of Africa for nearly half a
century have showed an oval-shaped
lake a little to the southeast of the
large Lake Nyassa in the eastern part
or the continent. 1t has been known
for forty-four years, since Livingstone
discovered 1t in 1859, as Lake Shirwa.
1t was about thirty miles long and
from ten to fifteen miles wide. Many
explorers have seen 1t and described
Its shores, and it's lands and their
Journeys across 1t.
The event that has been expected for
the past twenty years has come at last.
Letters received from the missionaries
In British Central Africa a that
the lake may now be expunged from
the maps, for Shirwa exists no longer.
The last vestige of the water surface
has disappeared. The bed of the lake
is a little swampy at the places where
the larger streams emptied into Shir-
wa, and here and there are spots that
are soft though not wet enough to be
DOGGY. All the rest is solid ground
which is rapidly becoming grass COW
cred and is crossed by the natives In
all directions.
Through the centre of the lake ex-
tended a little chain of islands, Khisi
Tongue and others. They now ap-
pear as a range of hills rising a few
hundred feet above the general level.
The natives ascend their slopes to
see where their cattle are grazing.
Hundreds of the canoes which the ne
groes used to paddle up and down the
AXE are now high on the banks or are
scattered over the former lake bed.
Lake Shirwa has succumbed to the
prevailing alteration that has been OBJ
served for many years in a large area
OF inner Africa, and that has lowered
and narrowed the water surface OF
many OF the lakes. The m~eteorolog-
ical causes, which have induced this
condition, are not understood, but the
TACT Is plainly established that many
lakes are receiving less water than
they discharge or lose by evaporation.

paratively recent period Lake Shirwa
covered four or five times the area il
has occupied in the past twenty years.
but the last stages of it's disappearance
were Unexpectedly rapid.
1t is worth noting that the first tive
OF the five important lakes revealed
TO Inc world by Livingstone have en-
tirely disappeared. In his first journey
ne reached the broad and placid ex.
panse OF Lake Ngami, covering; an area
OF 300 square miles. It's place is now
wholly occupied by a plain covered
with reeds, and no yestige of water
surface is to be seen.
Sh1rwa was the first important dis
covery of his fourth journey, and soon
afterward he stood on the shore of the
great Lake Nyassa.-New York Sun.

Home for stray Cats.

There is in one of the poorer dis
tr!cts of %Islington a small house
known as Fellowship Cottage" which
is kept by a lady who devotes the besi
part of her life to %succoring stray ant
abandoned cats. This year over 200t
have passed through her hands; some
have been nursed back to sickness
and content, many have been placed il
comfortable homes, and the hopeless
cases have been consigned to the kline
oblivion of death. Such an institution
as this deserves the utmost supper
and sympathy; it serves a distric

EIGHT YEARS OF TORTURE.

No. suffering more keen than kidney
suffering. Sick kidneys make bad
blood; cause weak, stiff and aching
backs; cause blind, sick and dizzy
headaches, lack of appetite and loss of

digestion.
To have perfect health you must cure
the kidneys. Read how one mar was
cured by Doan's Kidney Pills after

For GROWING Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, March 21-
Mrs. A. l.. Smith Of this place, says
that Dodds Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs.
Smith emphasizes her recommends
ton by the following experience,
My daughter was thirteen years
old last November and it is now two
years since she was first taken with
Crazy Spells that would last a week
and would then pass off. In month
she would have the spells again. AT
these times she would eat very little
and was very yellow, even the whites
OF her eyes would be yellow
"The doctors gave us no encour-
agement, they all said they could not
help her. After taking one box of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, she has not had
one bad spell OF course, we contin-
ued the treatment until she had used
in all about dozen boxes, and we
still give them to her occasionally,
when she is not feeling well. Dodd's
Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice Of
Mrs. Smith. for by so doing they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure healthy. happy
future for them.

Mr.. AND MRS. j. O. ATKINSON, INDEPENDENCE, MO.

In n letter dated January l, 400, MI.
Atkinson says, after five years experience
with Peruna:
~ viii ever continue to speak q good
word for Peruna. In my rounds as q
travelling man am a walking adver-
fisemenf for Peruna and have induced
many people during the past year to
use Peruna with the most satisfactory
results. am still cured of Cafarrh. p"
John o. Atkinson,
Box z72, Independence, Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh Is al
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these cases
exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic remedy
could cure them. This is exactly what
Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and satisfac-
tory results from the use of Peruna, write
at once to DR. Hartman, giving full state
mcnt of your case and he will be pleased 70
give YOU his valuable advice gratis.
