A DANGER To NEH ORLEANS.

The Mississippi river exhibits strange
mu ations, and at present is threatening very
serious r,sllts to New Orleans and south
western Louisiana. Should the present
tendencies of the Mississippi river work
Themselves out unchecked, "the result OF the
change will be-" says the New Orleans Times,
$40 leave New Orleans high and dry on an
unimportant aide stream, out of the line Of
commerce, to overturn the entire levee sys-
TEN of the State, and TO overflow all south
western Louisiana. The cause of all these
dangers is the tendency OF the Mississippi
river to leave its present bed, about the
mouth Of Red river, at Turnbull Island, and
PISS down the channel of the Atchsfalaya to
the Gulf Old residents state that forty years
ago, about that point the Atchafslsya was
fordable, being usually about two feet deep.
Since that time it has been gradually
widening and deepening. The elevation at
the mouth of Red river is hIty-four feet
above the Gulf OF Mexico. 10 1917 the
Atchaialaya was seventy Eve yards wide and
eighteen feet deep, tine lower Atchafalaya
country WAS safe from overflow, the country
there was fertile and settled. Floods h We

fences, and burrows, and abandoned sugar.
houses, tell sf ruined hopes and efforts. At
q point 730 feet wide aud ffty-two feel deep
in 1851, the depth in 1879 was $50 feet, the
width $40 feet. Az Capt. ESds had declared
would be the case, the Mississippi is more
and more pouring its waters down the Atch-
afzlsys, % that in q few years the water has
dsepened over 400 per cent, and is widening
at the rate Of fifty feet year. The stream
is almost torrent, whirling and tossing its
turbid waters, which are in places danger
Gus 10 the steamers that can now pass from
where it leaves the Mississippi down to the
sea. The channel OF the river is a sort of
funnel, the wide opening narrows down to
one.third the width, and the waters rush eddy
ing and swirling down the contracted pas
sage, abrading the banks as 1t goes. The
Threatened catastrophe, when the main chan
mel of the Mississippi will take this course,
is not distant. Cspt. Eads thinks two years
will do it. The reason is that the distance
between the junction OF Atch afalaya and
the Mississippi and the Gull is only 16o
niles by the former with an average fall of
three and three-eighths inches TO the mile,
while by the Mississippi it is S27 miles dis
tant with fall of lees than ons and two
thirds inches to the mile. The River Com
mission has gone down to see what can be
done, for if New Orleans is to be saved from
ruin some solid work must be finished be-
fore the rains of another winter come, and
that New Orleans must be saved at what
ever cost from such a catastrophe there
will be few TO dispute. The New Orleans
Rsay,ns has full confidence that all danger

Joseph Csok on Suffrage

In the prelude 10 his last lecture Joseph
Cook gave some strong arguments in favor of
limited female suffrage, such as is permitted
now in many States. This is cause" he
said, Sin which the whole world is inter.
ested. l have looked on this subject from
the other side of the sea, and in speaking Of
it here, 1 have in mind Melbourne, Sydney,
Calcutta, Bombay, Paris and London, and
the multitude of municipalities which are
drifting into the same dangers which
threaten our great cities. The right man
agement of great towns will be an absorbing
question as suffrage brozdens into the TWEEN
tieth century. Let America remember that
on this topic der responsibilities are world
wide. In view of the growth OF representa-
tive Institutions on the earth, in view of the
massiug of men in cities, in view of the gen
eral elevation Of women's condition in Asia,
in view OF her enlarging industrial and edu-
cational and legal rights in Europe and
America, who dares predict that century
hence there will not be something in our i'm
mensely misgoverned cities like limited
municipal suffrage for women? / believe
that this reform Is coming, and that it will
come TO stay. God grant that our fashion
able society may have the wisdom to ride
in the chariot, and not be dragged beh ind it

C.n,t cook as Mother D,s.

How many a young wife's heart is sad
dened and happiness scattered because she
cannot "cook So mother did" 1t is strange,
sadly strange, and yet we all know il is true.
How many a time has the tendsr-hearted
reporter felt his soul bursting with grief as
he told the narrowing story Of some poor
suffering woman, whose cheerful sunshine
bad turned to dismal darkness just because
she could not "cook as mother did" And
how it delights the heart of the reporter
when he chances 10 hear OF one dew Died
young wife who is rescued from the fate of
30 many, N a manner so simple and easy
that the only wonder is that all are not
saved. This one to whom he now refers was
led blushing and blooming bride, but few
short weeks ago, TO the altar by one Of our
most promising and prominent young men.
He promised TO do everything in his power
to make her happy, but in an evil hour
he made the dangerous discovery that she
could not "cook as mother did," He told
her so, and from that hour the Hfe-light OF
happiness began to die out in her once
radiant eyes. The bloom that put TO shame
the fancied perfection of the rose departed
from her cheek, the voice that welcomed him
to a happy heart and home grew silent as the
grave, and the young husband saw that
something must be done soon. He asked the
sorrowful wife why she was so sad; and she
told him because she could not "cook as his
mother did" but if she had Royal Baking
Petrder he could say 80 no longer. Like a
sensible fellow, he ordered q dozen boxes at
once, and now he says that he is afraid that
his wife will raise the roof of the house some
day, but he don't care, for she il happy.

he was motioned to be seated. As the song
6nished the prompter's bell rang and the
curtain rose again. The audience, hearing
the singing had not left their seats. A
young lady of the company then came on to
the stage bearing q velvet cushion, upon
which reposed silver wreath, upon
e CHI leaf OF which was inscribed the
names of those who had played with
him, including that of the director. The
King then made a very complimentary

A WESTERN ENEAY OF WESTERN
IMPROvEMEST.

No int ligent resident Of The Mississippi
valley can be ignorant OF the Importance to

ment Of the Mississippi river as shall make
it nsvigsble for the lzrgest class of river
boats to ST. Louis, and of small boats 10 st.
Paul, during the whole year when not OBJ
sLrucl ed by ice. The streams running ipls
that river depend mainly upon it for their
value as aide to commerce upon the great
principal artery, the Mississippi river. 1t
is a strange thing indeed, but it is fact,
that one Of the principal newspapers pub
lished within the Mississippi valley, the Gin
cinnati Commercial, should be found per-
sistently, implscably, and with unwearied
effort and misapplied energy, oppos-
ing the measures taken to accom-
plish the work 60 necessary and 40
important. 1t does not deny that the
improvement is required, but when measures
are taken to secure the object desired, with
an obsiinscy that disregsrds all argument,
| and blindness that renders it insensib's 10
the NEST glazing facts, it leaves ne effort
| untricd, no denupciation unuttered. With
a hot, impetuous, Understanding hatred,
that betrays personal bitterness and wounded
pride, month after month and year after year
| il pours forth lis vehement assertions and
Improved allegations. Congressional COM

| some o. the most able civil engineers of tt Q
| United States have examined testimony, ard

the spot, along the river itself, and have
reported contrary to views the Commercial 70

distinctly and explicitly contradictsd

FaE PRICE OF ELECTkICL LIGHTING

Among the numerous discoveries that have
been made respecting electricity, ons much
needed fact stilI eIudes the diligence of e1-
psrimenters; one hiss yet succeeded in
ascertaining whether lighting by electricity
or by gas costa the mos. We all remember
how the electrician eIperimenters two or
three years ago, in most confident m amer,
assured the public that electrical lighting
would 90 reduce the cost of artificial ilumin-
alton that any other mode would have to be
abandoned in stationary lighting. So strong
was the impression that this would be the
case that the price of gas stocks declined in
the market, aud the gas companies made
numerous experiments in the preparation
of their gas 10 the shape Of burners and
other ways, and also made great efforts to
introduce the use of gas in stoves instead of
coal, for domestic and heating purposes All
alarm among gas companies and petroleum
dealers appears 10 be at an end now, and
there are indications that, so far, the gas
people have the best Of the struggle. Ia En-
gland some recent events have greatly
shaken confidence in electric lighting. A
prominent company there. from which much
had been expected in the way of electric
lighting, is charged with Irregularities, which
indicate that profits are not made as had
been expected. A move was made to investi-
gale, but it was quashed, from a fear that
developments would bs made that would de.
preeiate the value of the shares. Soon after
ward the president of the company resigned,
and the stock, which had been at 200
to 300 premium, is now below par
Other companies have shown symptoms
of distress, some have wound up, and shares
| of other concerns bring nothing in the mi
ket. While this is the case, the lights stead.
lily make their way into public favor. They
are found to vitiate the air almost iuappre.
cisbly in proportion TO gas, they do no
damage goods in stores, or books in libraries
and they are not detrimental to health al
gss-lights often are. Without cheapuess
however, gas will prove the victor, but Al
very much, even yet, remains to be discovered
about the practical application of electricity
to lighting, it is as yet impossible to say
| what may not be done.
