Monticello, Mimi, Aug. 7th.-Mr. ].
W. Moore Of this place stands as a liv-
ing proof of the fact that Bright's Dis
ease, even in the last stages, may be
perfectly and permanently cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Moore says: In 1898 three
reputable physicians after a careful
examination told me that | would die
with Bright's Disease inside of year.
My feet and ankles and legs were
badly swollen; | could hardly stand
on my feet and had given up all hopes
of getting cured when travelling
salesman told me that he himself had
been cured of Bright's Disease two
years before.
He said he had taken to his bed
and expected to die with it, but that
he had been cured by a remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Il commenced taking them at once
and am thankful to say that they
saved my life. After short treat
ment was completely restored to
good health and | am now as sound as
dollar"

HISTORY WAS NOT TAUGHT.



Of American Story.
A little moro than thirty years ago
boy could enter Harvard college and
after four years graduate with the
highest honors without knowing of
the existence of the declaration of In
dependence or when the constitution
OF the United States was framed. SAYS
Henry Cabot Lodge in the Reader
Magazine. What was true of Har-
ward was true OF other universities
and colleges. American history was
not Included I'm the scheme of the
higher education. Boys entering col
lege were required 10 know something
OF the history Of Greece and Rome
but not of their own country. During
the four years of the college course
they had opportunity TO study the his.
tory OF England and Europe, but never
to learn aught of the United States
This condition of education was mere
ly an indication of an attitude of mind
then passing away, but which bad once
been predominant. The usual opinion
seems to have been during the first
half nj the nineteenth century that
there was no American history worth
telling, apart from the adventures of
the revolution, which were both con-
nected so closely with the history of
Europe that they might be deemed OF
importance

FRAUD ON LIFE COMPANIES.

Twice in different parts of England

appearances died The third time the
game was played with an ingenious
variation. The uncle went to a life
insurance company, explained that he
was in financial straits and wished to
borrow money on his niece's estate.
To compensate for such a loan he
would have to insure her life for its
value, but could not afford to have
this insurance become known. as it
would expose his financial condition
and ruin his credit The company,
therefore, agreed to write the insur-
ance under bond of secrecy. AS
usual the young woman went into
commissions and died Before her
funeral she lay in state for all the
world to see, Her uncle was pros.

He did not try to collect the insur.

did the company paid him in fun with

ODD CUSTOM IN MOROCCO.
Estates Of Fallen Favorites invariably
Confiscated.


It is a custom in Morocco that all
the property of an official reverts at
his death to the crown. The logic
which leads to such results is simple,
for the government argues that all
fortunes thus accumulated consist OF
moneys illegally retained by the au-
thorities. A governor when appoint
ed is probably possessed of no con-
siderable fortune. When he dies he
may be a millionaire. Whence came
this wealth? Squeezed most certain
ly from the tribes under his authority,
and therefore amassed only by the
prerogatives of the position in which
the Sultan had placed him.
1t has never struck the Moorish
government that these great fortunes
might more honorably be returned to
the people from whom they were stol-
en-. The result is entire confscation
to the crown, including often such pri-
vate property as the governor may
have been possessor of before his APP
pointment.
When the mighty fall in Morocco
the crash brings down with them
their families, even uncles and cous-
ins, and all connected with them, and
1t is not seldom that the sons of great
governors, who have been brought up
in the luxury of slaves and horses and
retinues OF mounted men, have to go
begging in the streets.

LUNAR RAINBOW IN GEORGIA.
Unusual Phenomenon Reported to the
Scientific American.

Unusual Phenomenon Reported to the
Scientific American.
A curious and unusual phenomenon,
in the form of rainbow for which the
moon instead of the sun furnished the
light, was observed here on the night
of June 10.
heavy rainstorm, accompanied by
considerable thunder, occurred lust
before moonrise. AS the clouds re-
tired to the west the luminary rose
and the bow was first Observed only
the extremities for about 25 degrees
being visible, the moon at that time
being concealed behind a small cloud
For about twenty minutes the bow in,
creased in brightness, and at the end
of that time could be clearly traced
throughout its entire length. At each
end the red and blue colors could be
plainly distinguished, but the re.
mainder of the arc showed only as a
light streak across the clouds.
The conditions for the phenomenon
were almost ideal, the moon being but
a few days past full, the cloud screen
occupying the proper position, and. as
it occurred just at moonrise, the bow
was seen well up in the heavens,
After the clouds had almost entirely
melted away, leaving only a slight
haze through which the stars shone
portions of the bow could still be
clearly iscerned.-Poulan correspon.
