A few commercial doses like the balance
OF trade for 1S17-7S will go far to prove to
somebody's satisfaction that protection does
really protect something after all. If we

Some of the water of niagara Falls is to
oe carried in pipes to Buffalo, and there
used instead OF steam power for driving
various kinds of machinery. A company
has been formed with a capital of a million
dollars, and the work has been commenced.

the water in such n way that it will fall into
upright iron pipes, COMPRISING the air in
them with tremendous force. This COM
pressed air will be directed into strong
pipes running to Buffalo, where it will be
utilized as n motive power. 1t is said that
experiments ave proved the feasibility of

A story is told of a woman who freely
used her tongue to the scandal of others,
and made confession to the priest of what
she had done. He gave her q ripe thistle
top, and told her to go out in various direc-
and scatter the seeds, one by one.
at the penance, she obeyed. and
then returned and told her confessor. To
her Amusement, he babe her go back and
gatLsf til. scatter-i seed anc when she
objected that it would be impossible, he
replied that it would be still more impossi-
BILE to gather up and destroy all evil reports
which she had circulated about others,
Any thoughtless, careless child can scatter
a handful of thistle seeds before the wind
in a moment but the strongest and wisest
cannot gather them again.
