for the Forum and for the reading public 1t
is proof that the kind OF articles it presents,
which are addressed to the most intelligent and
cultured minds, finds an increasing number OF
readers, an indication of the mastery manner
ia which its topics are discussed.

A cooper named Graham last Sunday
performed the fool-hardy and daring feat of
going over Niagara Falls in barrel His
queer craft was about Al feet long and feet
in diameter, with a small air hole in it. He
got in, fastened tie man-hole on the inside
and was towed into the current and turned
loose. The secthing waters whired him
around and around and finally carried him
over the watery abyss, where the water drops
200 feet The barrel disappeared but soon
rose to sight again and was swept onward
Some distance below the falls a friend went
out and brought the barrel ashore. Graham
was taken out more dead than alive. He
was bruised and badly shaken up but no
bones were broken. Graham says it has been
the ambition of his life to perform this feat.

friend who was q classmate of mine in
college. She was real pretty girl,
but she was greatly annoyed at the
fact that few hairs were growing on
her chin and upper lip. They really
did not look bad. more like the down
on a beautiful peach than any thing
else. but they were eyesores to her.
She tried every thing to get rid of them.
and finally was persuaded to try
electricity. An experienced physician
performed the operation. and left her
face as smooth as billiard ball:
six weeks later the hairs returned,
greatly increased in size and several
shades darker. This time they really
did look bad, and the poor girl was
almost wild. She has never been able
to do any thing with them since. and.
unless she Clips them every day-a
very tiresome operation. her face looks
as though she was really growing a
beard. The best way for woman is
to leave her face alone. She only
spoils it by tampering." Hairdresser.

The Delicious Mangosteen


Travellers in Java have filled pages
and columns with rhapsodies over the
mangosteen. and all unite in extolling
it as the supreme delight of the
tropics. The mangosteen appears to
one as hard, round fruit the size of
a peach. It's hard outer shell or rind
is of the same color and thickness as q
green walnut, but in this brown husk
lie six or eight segments of creamy
white pulp. The little segments are
easily separated, and, transferred to
the mouth. melt away. the pulp being
as soft and fine as q custard. The
mangosteen's delicate pulp tastes, as
all its eulogists say. like Strawberries,
peaches. bananas. and oranges all at
once; q slight tartness Is vailed in these
delicious davors, and it is never cloy-
irgiy sweet Taken just as it comes
from the ice-box the mangosteen is an
epicure's dream realized. and the
more's the pity that it only grows in
far-away places and deadly climates.
and does not bear transportation The
hard rind looks unchanged for weeks.
but the delicate pulp melts away. and
the driest and coolest refrigerator
chambers can not keep the heart of the
mangostcen from quickly spoiling.-
