KING OF WATERFALLS.
A Travellers Description OF n Grand New
Zealand Cataract.

A Travellers Description of q Grand New
Zealand Cataract.
must leave to some able writer the
work of picturing to the world in suit
able language the grandeur of what
will soon be known as the highest
waterfall in the world. 1t consists Of
three leaps in an almost direct line,
but when standing about a quarter Of
mile away it has the appearance of a
straight leap with two breaks. The
upper leaps are equidistant and the
lower one shorter. The water issues
from a narrow defile in the rock at the
top OF the precipice; it then makes one
grand leap of 815 feet in rocky basin
on the face of the cliff; issuing forth
once more it makes another fine leap
of 751 feet and then goes tumbling
headlong into one wild dash of 338 feet
into the pool right at the foot of the
precipice. 1t will thus be seen that
the total height of the fall is l, 904 feet.
thus making it the highest waterfall
that has yet been discovered in the
world.
Proceeding right on to the pool at
the foot-hewn out, we are told, by the
heavy fall of water from the mound of
stones and debris projecting over in
times of 1oOd-at the expense, how
ever. of getting drenched with the
spray, a splendid view of the whole is
obtained. and when the sun is shining
the effect is enhanced by beautiful
rainbow of colors of the most brilliant
kind conceivable and nearly full cir

ABOUT coMBED HONEY.
How to Care for 1t So That VIII Bring q
Good Price.


Too much of the honey which is sent
to market brings low price because
it has been poorly cared for. These
practical hints from the Iowa Home
! stead are worth noticing:
In the first place. there is no hurry
about takingit off the hives. The bees
can caresfor it more cheaply, and even
if it is not quite so white as when taken
off earlier, flavor is improved by per-
feet ripening, which, to my mind,
more than compensates for the slightly
darker shade which the comb presents.
If taken off during warm weather it
will sometimes be spoiled by the larvae
of the bee-moth. The worms can be
fumigated with sulphur in tight box
or room. but this is seldom necessary,
and is not practiced TO any extent by
the best honey producers. II comb
honey is produced by the best methods
there will be scarcely any pollen cell
in it, and in the absence of these the
moths do little harm. A worm is sell
dom seen in surplus honey unless there
is pollen in some of the cells. When
honey is taken off the hive. if in small
sections containing only one comb
each. it can be held up to the light and
every cell of pollen detected. If these
are kept by themselves and used or
sold first, he rest will be compare
lively free from moths.
Honey should never be kept in a
cellar-neither comb nor extracted.
That is the worst possible place for it.
1t will gather moisture or ''sweat" and
soon become "off flavor" if not posi-
lively sour. Store it in a dry, warm
room. if possible (safe from mice) then
it will keep ten years. 1t will not
granulate so soon in a warm room. and
its flavor will improve. now have
some that is three years old, and is not
candied, but is so thick that it will not
run. Extracted honey can not be kept
in too warm a room.

FEEDING THE SICK.
The Proper Way of Administering Food t.
InValidS.

=
InValIds.
Sad mistakes are made by hundreds
of well-meaning people in their method
of administering nourishment to in
valids. 1t is the custom to keep the
delicacies intended to tempt their APP
petites constantly within their reach.
The result is. that instead of feeling
any desire for the jellies. broths, ETC.,
thus obtruded upon their notice, the
sight of them creates lOathing end dis
gust. Sick people should never be
haunted with food in this way. Even
persons in health would lose their
relish for choice dishes if condemned
to live in a larder surrounded night
and day with all the dainties of the
season. If you have any thing rare
and delicious for your patient, surprise
him with it. A pleasant surprise is a
good tonic. and you may excite his
palate by springing a refreshing
rarity upon him unexpectedly. Never
hand a sick man a pile OF eatables,
telling him you expect him to devour
the whole of it Feed him on the in
fnitesimal plan, with fairy morsels;
and as soon as he has taken what he
requires remove the remainder. In
visiting sick-rooms how often one finds
bowls of arrow-root and sage, dabs of
jelly, cups of beef-tea, fragments of
dry-tOast, slices of oranges, and the
like, mixed in among black draughts.
boxes of pills. blister plasters. jars of
leeches, and other denominations of the
''healing art" No wonder the pale and
languid inmates have no appetite

less employment than that OF angling. Bur
the line should be drawn at the practice
which "Our Boy'' makes Of wading around
in two feet of water, netting minnows two
inches long. This practice would seem to
prove to our complete satisfaction that our
boys are degenerate.
But what adds insult to in Jury is the hab-
it which ''Our Boy has fallen into of bring.
ing his wretched little fish home in oyster
cans and dumping them for permanent
abode in the family bath-tub. 1t is mighty
cheerful thing for a father to march into a
bathroom for purposes of ablution, only to
find the tub half full Of wriggling minnows.
To add to his veXation, these miserable hsh
lie close to the top of the water and thrust
their heads half out and mouth at one as ii
mOcking him. Wretched creatures, We
would the pickerel had you ALL
But before all marbles that roll and all
fish that swim, "Our Boy'' loves the dog;
the measlier the dog the more lovable is he
in the eyes of ''Our Boy" Why is 1t, we
wonder-can anybody explain it-that ''Our
Boys dog is always tramp and always
of the feminine gender2 Another thing
that excites our wonder is the universal
fact that ''Our Boy' is hardly able to carry
his spelling book to and from school and
yet thinks nothing of Juggling dog four
miles and half "Our Boy" may not weigh
forty-fve pounds, but every blessed day Of
his life he comes into the house carrying a
one hundred and twenty-five pound dog
under his arm with ease and with enthusi
asm.
And the beauty of 1t is that the miserable
sore-eyed, NANCY cur seems to enjoy ''Our
Boy' quite as much as "Our Boy" enjoys
the cur. Well, that's where the ours head
is level, for the cur not only gets the best
edibles in the house but is decorated with
the choicest ribbons 'Our Boy" can find in
his mothers bureau, and is honored with a
name wholly untitled to one of the ours sex
So it is that 'Our Boy" lives and moves
and has his being. And between his mar.
bes and his fish and his wretched dogs and
his thousand other grotesque delights
he worries his poor old father and his pa
tent mother nearly into their untimely
graves. Yet when the day is done and
''Our Boy goes to that dreamless sleep of
his, who, seeing the innocent beauty of his
slumbering face, does not forget the care
he has brought and think only of the music
and the sunshine of his little life!
''Ah, there he l:es-so peaceful like
God bless his golden head!
We quite forgive the little tyke
For the i'll he's done or said.''
