Proved Beyond a Doubt.

NIiadlesex. n. Y, July ESPECIALLY
That Rheumatism can be cured has
been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs
Betsey a. Clawson, we'll known here.
That Mrs Clawson had rheumatism
and had it bad. all her acquaintance
know. They also know she is now
cured Dodd's Kidney Pills did it.
Mrs. Clawson tells the story of her cure
as follows:
81 was an invalid for most five years
caused by Intlamrnatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The
first year could not do as much as a
baby could do; then | rallied a little bit
and then relapse. Then a year ago
the gout set in my hands and feet. |
suffered untold agony and in August,
1903, when my husband died, l could
not ride to the grave.
II only took two boxes of Dodd' 8
Kidney Pills and in two weeks could
wait on myself and saw my own wood.
l dug my own potatoes and gathered
my own garden last fall. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills cured me-"
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out of the blood.

The End Of NIaaars.

Harper's Weekly: In two thousand
five hundred years hence the discharge
of the Niagara will have become inter.
mittent, ceasing al low stages Of the
lake, and finally the Niagara river. on
the rising edge of the basin, will have
Its waters turned back and southwark.
and no water will flow over the Mia
CARA escarpment of that day. Through
this, agency alone Niagara Falls will
cease to exist long before the escarp-
ment has been Worn away TO the river
level at Grand Island. but as 1t is even
now ,essening the volume OF water
poured over the falls the erosive power
Of the stream is diminishing, and we
must therefore, increase the period
necessary for the retreat of the Cana
dian falls to the south end of Goat
island, and the stealing of the waters
Of the American falls. Assuming the
continuity of the forces named We
might outline the probable future life
and the death of the falls thus:
With progressive loss in water VOL
anne the Canadian falls will reach the
south end of Goat Island in from one
thousand to fifteen hundred years; the
death of the American falls. The flow
Of the waters will now have become
! Intermittent, and at first only by per-
ods of mean and high water in Lake
Erie, eventually at high water alone,
! will there be any dis barge over the
I escarpment. This will continue for a
4 period of from fifteen hundred TO two
/ thousand years. The entire flow to the
y north will cease, and the river will run
4 back into Lake Erie. leaving the es-
earpment dry at a point not very far
1 south of Goat Island. and with a height
Of about one hundred feet. This will
De thirty-five hundred years hence
the death of Niagara Falls.

BEGGARs IN INDIA.
They Are Fast Disappearins-onIy
About 100000 Left.

About S,UCU,UUU Lett.
Times of India: The beggar nuisance
is a very common one in India, and
the endeavors OF the police in the large
cities to put it DOWN have met With
only a limited measure of success.
This is no doubt due To the fast that
Indian opinion is remarkably tolerant
toward STURDY begSars, especially 1T
they wear the guise of religion. But
there is reason TO believe that whole
sone change is coming over the pub
Lie sentiment in this rs in so many
other matters. There We're about five
million OF beggars in the country at
the time of the last census. and nearly
one fifth of the runlber Was classed as
religious mendicants. The number.
large aus ii is, represented y decrease of
about per cent. from that at the
previous census. and the decline has
been attributed in part to the coinpar-
atively heavy mortality among them
dulimg the famine years. But says the
report, lit is also partly attributable to
the spread of education and the con-
seeluent weaker hold which the So
called asce;ics have on the imagination
of the people" ii being much less easy
than ii Mas formerly for the MEM
bers of the various begging eotnmuni-
ties to unloose the purse strings of the
people
There is. happily. reason to believe
that the changed feeling among the
educated classes is filtering down to
the lower levels. This evil is not con-
fined To one particua. community or
religion. III is as rampant among the
Maaametans as among the Iiindoos.
