The gradual crumbling of the rock on
the Canadian side of Niagara Falls has
led to singular changes IN the contour of
the Horseshoe Falls. These we'll de-
served their name, but it is now said
that double horseshoe has been formed
by the disappearance of the rock.
Learned scientists demonstrate that the
falls are steadily receding, and that in
several thousand years they may ap-
proach Lake Erie, but the process is so
gradual as to- be ipP2rceptible'A'"Nee#
York is sure to enjoy this greatest rival

BYGONESI

Ye doubts and fears that once we knew,
Ye bitter words, Of anger born;
Ye thoughts unkind and deeds untrue,
Ye feelings Of mistrust and scorn;
Against your memory we rebel,
We have outlived your foolish day;
No longer in our hearts you dwell
Bygones! Bygones! pass away!
But oh, ye joyous smiles and tears,
Endearments fond and pleasures past;
Ye hopes of life's first budding years,
Ye loves that seemed too bright to last;
Ye charities and swords Of peace,
Affections sunshine after rain;
Oh, never let your blessings cease
Bygones Bygones! come again!

The Connecticut Constitution, whose
two hundred and fftieth anniversary
was observed at Hartford recently, is
said by the Boston Journal to be the
oldest written Constitution permanently
limiting governmental power known in
history. This is Iema kable fact, and
one with which very few New England
ers have been acquainted. Itadds new
distinction to the record of our New
England commonwealth, and affords a
striking proof of the justice of our claim
of having laid the real foundations Of
popular government.

Krupp's Great Gun Works.

An interesting work has just appeared
IN Germany about Herr Alfred krupp
and his foundry at Eissen. 1t shows
how slow and difficult were the begin
nings of this establishment, which goes
back as far as 1911, and which merely
vegetated till 1851. In 1888 only nine
workmen were employed in the factory
in 1S4s, seventy-two.
To-day Herr Krupp has under his en-
ploy 81, yG0 workmen, -, 726 of whom
are employed in the foundry at Essen.
Counting the families of these work
men, 7S, 769 persons live from the work
of the establishment, and of this num-
ber "a, 1873 occupy the dwellings belong
ing to the foundry. Some 2735 tons of
coal are burned daily, and the eleven
high furnaces produce 600 tons of cast
iron daily.-C0mmerciay Adoertiser.

Doing Up Lace Curtains.

The cleansing of fine curtains in the
winter time is very nice operation, ana
one that few housekeepers have the cour-
age to attempt at home. The following
directions l carried out with fatterlng
success:
Place the curtains in tub of cold
water and allow them to remain for al
most an hour. Remove carefully, wiring.
ing slightly, and again place them in
fresh cold water, where leave for three or
four hours. Again wiring them care
fully, and stretching them across clean
table, rub thoroughly with some pure
washing soap; roll up tightly and lay in
moderately warm water for full hour.
Then transfer them into very hot water,
leaving them there not longer than ten
minutes. Once more change into cold
water for few minutes. The next
move is into moderately strong blue
water, where let them remain about five
minutes. Boil one half pound OF starch
quite thick, fine -four quality; this will
be sufficient for three good-sized cur
tains. Dip the curtains into the starch
and wiring them very slightly. Then
stretch them Immediately over clean
sheets. Lay the sheets over thickly-
carpeted floor Of large room and pin
down the edges of the lace, drawing it
firmly, with extreme care. The pins.
should be placed close together, so as to
draw out the pattern. This may seem
tedious process; but if the directions are
faithfully carried out one will be amply
rewarded for the pains. The curtains
should be left stretched across the sheets
y plptil Shoroughty dry, eaf When the pins
are removed and they are lifted up, they
will be found to be snowy white and
stiff Washington Star.
