A PAIR OF CRANKs.
They Go Through the Niagara Ra

They Go Through the Niagara Rapids.
NIAGARA FALLS, November 2e.-GeOrge
Hazlett and Miss Sadie Allen, of Buffalo,
went through the rapids and the wbirl-
pool this Afternoon in the torpedo-shaped
barrel used by Hazlett and Potts last
summer. They were in the rapids and
whirlpool five minutes, and were taken
out of the eddy on the Canadian side,
just below the whirlpool three-quarters
of an hour later, in good condition. Miss
Allen is a respectable girl eighteen years
old, petite brunette, and rather pretty.
Miss Allen, when she appeared at the
ferry ready to enter upon the perilous
journey, wore a neat walking dress. TAX
ing off her hat aad jacket and throwing
shawl over her head, she stepped lightly
into the barrel through the manhole,
tucking her garments closely about her,
and laughingly remarked:
Come, George; jump in. I'm ali
fixed"
Soon after Hazlett stepped into the
craft fastening himself in the end oppo-
site to that occupied by Miss Allen. Just
thirty minutes from the time the barrel
was towed out into the river, it reached
the whirlpool. The start was made from
the Maid -the-Mist" landing on the
Canada side When the barrel reached.
the Maelstrom it shot right into the cen
tire of the pool, making two or three
turns Leaving the pool, the barrel fol-
lowed the current out toward the Cana
dian shore and down to the outlet of the
pool, where it got into a large eddy and
hObbed around for half an hour Friends
near by shouted to the occupants of the
barrel, when Hazlett opened small door
on top of the barrel and Frank Lawson
threw a rope from the shore which Haz.
lett secured, and the barrel was towed
ashore. After coming out of the barrel
Hazlett and Miss Allen had a tramp Of
mile aud a half through brush and over
boulders before reaching the top of the
precipice The couple returned to Buff
falo this evening.

VARIETY IN FOOD.
A Matter Well Worth the Consideration OF
Every Housekeeper.

Often sickly, waning appetite can
be stimulated by some exceedingly sim
pie change in the commonest articles Of
daily food. Slices of dry bread are un-
inviting; but the same bread, lightly
Drowned, with a delicately poached egg
resting on the crisp toast, becomes al.
together another item in the bill of fare.
Cold beef or mutton have become stand.
ard dishes for wash-day or other slim
dinners. But an accompaniment oil
pickles for the one, and Jelly for the
other, makes all the difference in the
world between tasteful and bald utilita-
rian housekeeping. Oatmeal porridge
is a most excellent breakfast DISH vet
it is well to occasionally substitute in its
place berries or other fruit, or even a
change to pearl hominy, or cracked
wheat, or corn-meal mush. l know
there are forty different ways in which
10 prepare potatoes, and should not be
surprised to learn that there may be
fifty, yet how few are the tables, espe-
cially in the country, where one sees
this vegetable except in the stereotyped
boiled whole, mashed or fried. A great
variety of delightful dishes can be made
with apples at all seasons of the year
whether one has fresh or canned fruit.
Breakfast dinner or tea need not lack .
healthful relish if one has a dozen OF SO
of apples within reach. l do not emu,
merate the host of what are known az
''made dishes, which can be so quickly
and easily concocted out of remnants,
| know it is worth the trouble to set on
the family table, not courses of elabo-
rate dishes, but a wholesome, agreeable
and yet economical diversity of food
