The total fall between Lakes Erie
and Ontario is 329 feet, and is made
up as follows: From Lake Erie to the
head OF the falls, 70 feet; the falls, 161
feet; and below to Lake Ontario, SO
feet. Consequently, the total power
running to waste is more than double
the 100000 horsepower on the falls.
An idea Of the proportion that this
total bears to what may be called the
worlds consumption OF power may be
had from the fact that it is computed
to be equal to the total OF all the
steam-generated power in the world.
The geographical situation of the at
present great power-consuming centers
is, as limited above, not quite all that
could de desired; but there are, never
theless, several cities within reach,
electrically speaking, which will use
an enormous amount. Buffalo may
be said to be next door, and Rochester
is within easy reach. In the not too
distant future, we may expect to see
the great electrical manufacturing
works in Schenectady operated, as is
meet, by electrical power from Nj
agara.
The power company has, however,
made branch track connections be-
tween the territory owned by it and
three important railroad lines, which
all pass within a few miles of the
property. These connections and the
good freight rates which have been
contracted for in various directions
together with the cheapness OF power,
will in all likelihood attract TO the spot
manufactures, besides those which
have already undertaken to 60 there,
to an extent which will make it the
foremost power-consuming center in
the world.

Savings to the People.

Among the salvages from the Will
son bill in the compromise finally
passed may be noted the additions to
the free list.
To untax necessary of life or an
essential of industry is to afford COM
plete relief from artificial burdens. 1t
leaves no sophisticated questions as to
whether the foreigner, the importer,
the merchant or the consumer pays
the tax.
The following are the more import
ant additions to the free list made in
the new bill:
Binding twine. Petroleum, clule and
Sulphate of copper. refined.
Copper ore and bars. Nickle ores,
Copperas. Paintings.
Gotten ties. Drawings sketches.
Fresh fish. Nursery stock.
Hatters' fur, plush. Farm implements.
Flax, row, hemp. Cotton gins.
Cod oil. Salt.
Ivory, unmanu fac'd. Burr stones.
EPSON and mineral Timber and lumber.
salts. Wool.
These articles are all taxed in the
Mckinley law. The total decrease in
duties under the new law, on the basis
Of the importations in 1893, has been
estimated So, ,4O7 900. But this does
not by any means represent the entire
saving to the people. The greatest
tax under high tariff is that which
the mine-owners and manufacturers
are able to exact by reason of the re.
straint upon competition. The saving
to consumers will be many times &c.,.
100000.
As partial offset to this there must
be reckoned the difference between the
most unjust and unnecessary new
sugar tax and the saving from the
bounty that has been abolished. This
will probably amount TO SIS, 100000.

A Quiniault Indian once professed
to have obtained feather OF one OF
these birds. He said he saw one OF
them light, and, creeping up softly,
tied n buck skin string to one of its
feathers and fastened the other end to
a stump. When the bird flew away it
left the feather, which was 40 fathoms
long. No other Indian saw it, for he
was careful TO keep it hid, but the
possession Of it was not questioned
by the rest, as he was very successful
in catching sea otter. According to
the Makahs, one of the principal
homes of the bird is on mountain
back of ClyOquot, on Vancouver Is
land, where there is a lake, and
around it the Indians say are many
bones of whales which the bird has
killed.

Germany's Old Maple Tree.
Philadelphia Press.

One OF the most curious trees in
Germany stands on the left bank oil
the river Oder, in Ratlbor, Silesia. 1t
is maple at least 100 years old, which
has been twisted and cut into sort oil
a circular two story house. A flight
of steps leads to the first level, where
the branches have been gradually
woven together so that they make a
firm leafy floor. Above this is second
floor of smaller diameter formed in
the same way, and the ends of the
branches have been woven into solid
walls and cut so that eight windows
light each OF the apartments. Below
the first floor, the level of the second
and at the top OF the tree the boughs
have been allowed to grow out natural
ly, while the intermediate walls and
the edges of the windowlike openings
are closely clipped.

Animal foods are not generally con-
ductive to good color or fine COM
plexion. Milk, eggs, butter and cheese
are exceptions.
Meat once day is a sufiiciency for
all children, and for all women who
prefer the spiritual to the sensual type
of beauty. The school of vegetarians
may not be famous for its Venuses
and Apollos, but it is not a larger con
tributer to the freak for museums.
Many meats are positively danger
GUS. For instance, only giant consti-
tutions have the muscular ability to
digest fresh pork. Undigested it is a
fruitful source OF dyspepsia, tubercu-
losis, scrofula, gastric fever, nervous
ness, and, in fact, all the diseases re.
sulting from Inflammation OF the gas
trio system. Fresh pork is not safe
food for any woman to eat unless she
runs a ranch, a steamboat, q farm or
is engaged in some equally active pur-
suit necessitating outdoor life and
muscular exertion. Even ham and
bacon of the choicest "cure" need the
publication of fire. Veal is another
bad meat unless cooked to shreds, and
rare mutton is under suspicion.
While beef is the most nutritious of
meats properly served, it is often so
badly served as to uselessly tax the
digestive organs. Much o. the hash
is no better than stewed brown paper,
and the fried steak and corned beef of
the average home dinner would do the
consumer far more good in the gar
bage box. Foods that fill the stomach
and foods that feed or nourish it are
not the same. The value of the meat
is in the juice, and nothing else counts.
That is why the trained nursery maids
who get $50 a month to keep infant
heirs of complicated estates from
dying. and SO annulling legal docu-
ments, never allow the tots TO swallow
q morsel of coarse meat, as beef and
mutton are called. There is more nu-
triment in a piece of broiled steak the
size of spool OF thread than in five
pound piece of picked and smoked
beef.

THE FORT AT PILOT KNOB.
One of the Few WeIl-Preserved Relies Of
the War of the Rebellion.

One of the Few WeIl-Preserved Relics OF
the War of the Rebellion.
"You would be surprised to know, prob
ably, that the old fort at Pilot Knob has not
been disturbed since the war" said R. NJ.
Logan, of Iron Mountain, the other day.
" The land where the old fort has stood since
the war is now owned by the Iron Mountain
Company. 1t refuses to allow the souvenir
of the battle of Pilot Knob to be destroyed.
The 10-foot ditch around the fort has nob
been filled up, and it presents very much
the same appearance as when Gen. Price
made an attempt to take the fort.
:" 1t will be remembered that Price and
his army were camped on Shepard's Mount
ain the fort being at the base, near ravine.
Price stationed his artillery on top OF the
mountain and ordered charge. When the
infantry reached the ditch it was realized
that a mistake had been made and the SOL
diers retreated, as many of them being killed
by Prices men, who were keeping up inees-
SAINT firing from the top of the mountain, as
were shot down by the Federals within the
fort.
"It was the intention of Gen. Price to
capture the fort the next morning, and he
had made 100 ladders to scale the ditch, but
they were never used, as the Federals spiked
the cannons and blew up the fort at day.

The directions given for cultivating straw

strawberry may be successfully grown in
any soil adapted to the growth of ordinary
field or garden crops. The ground should
be thoroughly drained If wet, then trenehed
or plowed at least Is inches deep, and prop
eriy enriched as for any garden crop. For
family use. plants may stand Is inches apart
each way, and hill-culture is preferable. To
obtain fine, large, high-favored fruit, pinch
of the runners As fast as they appear, re-
peating the operation as often as NAV ba
necessary during the Summer and early
Autumn Every runner thus removed pro-

meantime the ground among the plants
should be frequently stirred.
When the Winters are severe, with httIe
snow for protection, slight covering of
leaves or litter, or branches of evergreens,
viii be of great service This covering
should not be placed over the plants until
the ground Is frozen. Usually from the mid

IN this locality. Fatal errors are often made
by mnlching too heavily and too early.
Care must also be taken to remove the
covering in the Spring just as soon as the
plants begin to grow. Before the fruit

the plants with short hay or straw, or any,
thing of that sort. This will keep the fruit
