falls, and is about to furnish electricity
in any quantity TO manufacturers and
cities throughout New York state. In
asmuch as the company is capital
lied at S50,0OO,000 its magnitude
and future enlargement can be
easily imagined. After this company had
perfected its arrangements, several
of the shrewdest financial agents in the
country were engaged i'll buying up the
land necessary for the building of the
initial plant. The site chosen for the
mammouth power house and tunnel
from the river was upon land owned by
Mrs. Latin. To the expert in land 1t
was worthless. but Mrs. Latin had
bought it-47 acres-paving 400. The
company gladly paid her $4,000 for it,
and at the same time bargained for con-
siderable more land at the rate OF S1.0G0
per acre. This is but one exam
pie Of the benefit reaped by Mrs. Latin
and hundreds of other speculations
have been of like proportionate results.
Last year alone Mrs. Latin made over
100000 in real estate, guided solely by
her natural snrewnesS, as she has been
a widow for several years, and, save for
her attorney, to whom she pays $4,000
year salary, has fought her battles siugle-
handed. When Mrs. Lafiin's fortune
began to accumulate, envious and I'M
scrupulous people Schemed to obtain
portion of her wealth. Every means
possible was taken to get her money,
but she Invoked the aid Of the law, and
fought her enemies to the bitter end,
coming out victorious in every instance.
After going out of the hotel business
five years ago, Mrs. Latin purchased
farm of twenty-eight acres, four miles
east from the falls, on the banks of the
Niagara river. Here Mrs. Latin makes
her home. 1t is an ideal spot. The
house is built in Queen Anne style,
plain on the exterior. but roomy and
exquisite within. 1t sets back from the
river about 1000 yards, and the lawn,
which slopes gently down to the river.

sands of roses fill the air with their
sweet perfume; flowers of every
hue and description are mingled

out flowers. II love to see them grow"
said the lady to a friend, "Watch the
tiny buds spring into life, and see the
blossoms in their full beauty"

LORD Lytton's novel "Pelham" was
written with the idea of counteracting
the affectation Of Byronism which was
then in vogue, and in this it to some
degree succeeded, though only by sub
stituung another affectation, that of
Pelhamism, n~its place. 1t is even said
to have affected the fashion of dress,
for in it Lady Frances Pelham says, in
a letter to her son: "Apropos of the
complexion. did not like that blue coat
you wore when last saw you; you look
best in black, which is IL great COM
pliment, for people must be very dis
tinguished in appearance to do So"
Till then coats worn Tor evening dress
were of different colorS, according to
the fancy of the wearer, and the adop-
ton of the now invariable black is said
to have dated from the publication Of

is no hypocrite about Mrs. Latin. The
delineationS round about her her mouth
seem somewhat stern, but while firm
ness Is emphatically marked, trouble
has caused its indentations, for a world
Of:sorrow has this noble little woman

friends, less well off than Mrs. Latin,
have done everything despicable to
gain possession of her wealth. and with

PEELED time and again to fight her rela-
tiyeS in courts to defend her property.
Mrs. Luflin was born in Ireland sixty
two years ago of humble parentage, and
came to America when seventeen years
of age. Uneducated, but endowed by
nature with exceptional business quail
/ featlons, she educated herself as best
she could while minding her numerous
younger brothers and sisters. Scarcely
had she budded into womanhood when
she was married, and although her hus-
band had no competence other than the
wages earned by the sweat of his brow,
the couple by strict frugality soon had
money enough saved to start boarding
house in the interior of New York state.
At the end of ten years, during which
time Mrs. Latin had become the mother
OF three daughters and one son, snug
sum was lying in the village bank to
the credit of the thrifty family. About
this time the wonders of Niagara falls
sprung into prominence, and, feeling
confident that there was a golden har-
vest to be reaped, Mrs. Latin induced
her husband to move to the falls. They
opened small hotel. and Dame Fortune
smiled upon their efforts from the first.
To quote Mrs. Laflin's own words,
| 'Eyerything we touched with our hands
turned to gold"

hotel became SO popular that it had to

This is accomplished by placing the

these mirrors produces four images of

SOSn AMI Throat.

In recent lecture before the Chem
lists Assistants Association, London, by
William Hill, MD, London, the throat
was described in detail, and the phaiynx
and the larynx pointed out as the two
most important parts. The nose mas
very important connection with the
throat and its disorders. 1t contains a
series of bones called the turbinated
bones, which expose large surface OF
warm blood, and cause the air inhaled
to be warmed ready for the lungs; more
over, the ella of the nose cause the Sc
crClon to move and reject the solid par
t.cles it has collected. The nose is the
proper organ for breathing, not the
mouth. The larynx, which is the air
passage, is bounded at its upper ex-
tremity by the vocal cords, aud has,
therefore, the double function of breath
ing and phonation. The epiglottis, by
altering its form, causes the food to pass
down the pharynx, and keeps it from
the larynx. In speaking OF proper
breathing, the author pointed out that
diaphragmatc breathing was the proper
method, and not clavicular. 1t was re-
ported that Rubini had broken his
clavice during singing, by persisting in
this method of breathing. Throat dis
eases are often caused by germs, by in
haation Of sewer gas, etc. Fortunately,
there are other organisms iu tho throat
always ready to attack these germs. The
throat was well provided with tonsils,
both faucial and lingual. The tonsils
produce phagocytes or leucocytes, anna
bold corpusces which actually swallow
up the germs. Why, then, should ton
sils be cut QUIT Because, when they be-
come enlarged and horny, they lose this
function, and by removing the horny
surface, the newly exposed portion eau
go on producing the corpuscles. The
decay of teeth is largely due to germs.
This shows the importance of keeping
the teeth in order. Obstruction in the
nose is the cause of many throat dis
orders. People liable to throat disorders
should be very chary of eating piquant
or hot dishes. Irritating remedies, too,
such as cayenne and Except in special
cases) tannin lozenges or nitrate of sill
yer, should be avoided. Hot tea, too,
is bad,-Scientifc American.

A remote and curious resort for the
initiated among hunters. is Reelsfoot
Lake in Obion County, inthe northwest
of Tennessee. 1t is the product of earth
quake commissions that occurred in 1911,
when n track OF land twenty-five by
seven miles sank from one to fifty fee I
below the level Of the surrounding coun-
try. The water of two rivers tributary
to the Mississippi poured into the de-
nression. This sunken land at the time
of the earthquake was heavily timbered
with cypress, walnut, oak, elm, catalpa
and other trees; and thousands OF
stumps and weirdly stretching branches
are to be seen beneath the surface or en-.
countered above it to this day. The
lake is dotted with little islands that are
dense with willow, cypress and saw
grass, and at high water, after fresnet'
these islands sink to the tree tops. Here
are found at other times the rude and
hastily constructed shauties OF fishermen
and hunters, who make their way about
the lakes on small RATS. The dress OF
these natives is always the same, consist
ing of a canvas coat and trousers, long
boots, and a hat of sugar loaf shape
without band. In trapping they use the
old. fashioned steel trap OF their iathers'
These men are law unto themselves.

The talk about dividing Kansas into
two States is receiving good deal OF
attention in some quarters, but there is
no probability, declares the Nebraska
State Journal, that anything of the kind
will be attempted. The western half of
the State has no public institutions of
any character, aud the expense of build.
ing capital and the asylums, reforma-
tory and penal educational institutions
would prove burden too great for the
new settlers out there to bear. Kansas
will not be divided.
