In making the survey of the proposed
Whirlpool railway at Niagara falls,
which will run along the bank at the edge
of the river from the inclined railway to
the Whirlpool, the engineers have run
across some facts which win surprise
scientists. When the survey was made
in 1851 for the Suspension bridge of the
Great Western railway, it was claimed
from the surveys that the river was
higher at the Suspension bridge than at
the foot of the falls, and this theory was
accepted, it being claimed that "the inn
mense pressure from the falls carried the
water up hill"
The present survey, which gives the
first levels ever taken through the water
line, explodes the uphill theory, and
shows that, from the foot of the inclined
railway to the Cantilever bridge, two
miles, the incline is six feet, and from
the Cantilever bridge 10 the Whirlpool,
a little less than a mile, It is fifty-four
and half feet, thus giving the water
the terrible force it attains in going
through the Whirlpool. -Pittsburg Dis

In order to guard against flies the

often. A sprinkling of the floors with

A good way to keep string beans,
writes one farmers wife, is to salt
them down. Wash the beans. pack a
layer in keg, then place layer of

for use, soak the beans over night be-
fore cooking.
Farmers as rule do not like to
feed grain in summer to the cows, says
the Nee0 Yorker, yet the practice pays
well where there is any market for the
butter and milk. Although grass may
be valuable food for cows, yet there
are different varieties, and MANY OF
them are not readily eaten by the COWS
in the pasture.
Never use coarse litter, as it pays
to cut it with catter, and the animals
will enjoy it better, while its fine quail

ent quality as for bedding purposes,
and the labor of passing it through the
cutter will more than be repaid when
it comes to the time that the manure is
to be hauled, as it will then be fine
and easily handled. Prairie Farmer.

This conversation was repeated. and
the journalists articles were hence

as a kind of matrimonial thermometer.
For about six weeks the articles were
characterized by sentences even shorter
than those of the late Emile de Girar-

that he might be properly fitted, but when
she heard the cost she said that she guessed
the kid could get along without it, as he
was certain to die, and as he was her hus-

care much any way. / happened to mem
ton this case little later in the day to a
lady who called with a child whom she
had fitted with brace, and who was so
tender with the little one that could not
help noticing the difference. The lady
said: This is not my own child, but my
husbands by his first wife. love her be-
cause of her father, and would rather die
myself than see her suffer. IL you have a
better brace than this, give it to me, Tor
this sweetheart must have the best on

you're ever so much sweeter an gooder
to me than my other mamma And then
there was such crying match as I don't
want to see again. That lady caught up
the little weak backed thing to her heart
and kissed and coddled her till you
couldn't rest. Then she deposited twenty
dollars on thirty dollar brace and said:
i want the best that money can buy, for
my little darling here can not have any
thing too good. 1 wish her to grow up a
straight and strong woman, and she shall,
if it takes every penny I've got.' AS they
went down the street, lovingly and caress-

a good deal of difference between STEP

A RICH TOOTH-PULLER.
The Way DIR. Evans Has Fingered the
Noses of Kings and Queens.


GCor. Cleveland Leader.1
met yesterday Philadelphia who
has been residing in Paris for many ears.
He tells me that DR.. Evans, the American
dentist there, is worth at least $4,000, 900,
and that he lives like Prince. Evans
said one day that he supposed that he was
the only man in the world who had pulled
the noses and hurt the jaws of every King
upon an European throne. Evans went
to France in the time of Louis Napoleon,
and went in with an American named
Brewster, who was dentist to the Emper-
or. Young Evans was a pretty good
tooth-puller and understood how to polish
his manners as well as the gold which he
put into teeth, and he became so popular
with Louis Napol con that he succeeded in
freezing out Brewster and taking his
place.
I have heard some stories Of Eugenie
meeting Napoleon at DR.. Evans office dur
ing the courtship of the two, and that, in
fact, Louis Naroleon first saw her in
Evans dental chair. At any rate, he
soon got in with the Empress, and he car
ried himself so well that he was popular
with the whole family. Evans was a
natty little fellow with large features and
a good talker.
Among his presents were diamond
studded snuff boxes, fine rings, diamond
pins and furs which were almost worth
their weight in gold. His house in Paris
is filled with beautiful souvenirs, and he
has presents from all the Kings, from the
Gear of Russia down to the Prince of some
petty dukedom.

r. shou,a bs e,enerally known

that the multitude of diseases OF scrofu-
lous nature generally proceed from tor
pid condition of the liver. The blood be-
comes impure because the liver does not
act properly and work off the poison from
the system, and the certain results are
blotches, pimples, eruptions, swellings,
tumors, ulcers and kindred affections, or
settling upon the lungs and poisoning their
delicate tissues, until liberation, breaking
down, and consumption is established. DR..
Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery" will,
by acting upon the liver and purifying the
blood, cure all these diseases.

Tor DAYS the peaks wore hoods|of cloud
The alopee were yelled In chilly rain;
We said :: II istheSummer's shfoud,
AndsNfth the brookSwe moaned aloud
WiHsunshne never come again?
At last the west wind brought US one
Serene, warm, cloudless. crystal day,
As though September, having blown

A gauntlet to the favored May.
Backward to Spring our fancies few,
And. careless of the course of Time,
The b1oomy days began anew.
Then, as happy dream comes true,
Or as poet finds his rhyme
Half wondered at. half unbeleved-
| found thee, friendliest of the flowers!
Then Summer joys came back, green-leayed,
And its doomed dead, awhile reprieved,
First learned how truly they were ours.
Dear yioletl Did the Autumn bring
Thee vernai dreams, till thou, like me, ~
Didst climb to thy imagining?
Or was it that the thoughtful Spring
Did come again, in search of thee?

In June there was welding in Black
stone church, and the pits were closed
on that day, and the men gathered
round to give such cheer to the bride
and bridegroom as never was heard be-
fore.
Old Lady Errell had been very an
cry at first. Judith was mad, she de-
clared, and her father was worse to en-
courage her in such folly-she who
might have married any one But after
little time she came round. So far
as she loved anyone but herself she
loved her grand daughter, and when
it was represented to her that udiths
happiness was bound up in this man,
that he was a gentleman, we'll connected,
and not absolutely beggar, she began
to think ''it might have been worse ;she
even allowed that he must be brave
man, and that there might be some ex-
cuse for "Judiths infatuation" as she
called it.
AS for Arthur Longridge, it had been
a bitter blow to him, but he had taken
his disappointment like a man and a
gentleman. Since he had to lose u
dith out of his life, he said to himself,
Thorold Gage was worthier of her than
any man he knew. He had loved her
very we'll and truly, and she will be to
him always the type of everything
sweetest and loveliest. But he is not
exactly the kind OF man to break his
heart for any woman, and in every
love story there muStbe some one left
out.
