His Notion of Hospitality.

There is nothing like making people
feel at home. There is one man in our
street, says a Washington writer, who
prides himself ON it. My friend Lucy
called at his house not long ago, and. as
everybody urged her TO stay TO dinner,
she staid. They had beefstcak for dinner
that night, and it was simply ideal beef
steak. The host urged Lucy TO take
second helping, and after politely de
murring she accepted it, She was eating
it when the young son of the family
asked for more too.
Don't be pig. Jim, said his IA
Their, with the utmost cheerfulness
"There isn't any more for you. You
see. turning 10 Lucy with smile of
keenest hospitality. 1--WE weren't expect
ing company.

VISITORS TO NIAGARA.

Basis for Estimating the Number
Who See the Falls in Year.
Speculation is often heard as to
the number of visitors to Niagara
Falls. Some light is thrown on the
subject by the returns of the cleo
trio road running along the Cana
dian bank from Queenstown to Chip
pewa, through Victoria park. It
appears that the travel for the sea-
son up to November reached about
four hundred and sixty-seven thou
sand passengers. This road skirts
the river all the way within few
feet of the edge Of the bluff, and is
operated by the water power of the
great Horseshoe fall, the gener-
ators being driven by turbines
which receive water through q canal
just above the fall and discharge
under the veil of tumbling foam and
spray. The plant is of three thousand
horse power. It was the first large
utilization of the energy of Niagara,
and it is now proposed to parallel
the road with another on our own
shore, which shall have the peculiar
attractiveness of running out on
brackets at the foot Of the cliff, and
will thus put the tourist right over
the boiling waves of the Whirlpool
rapids. If one hundred thousand
horse power is taken from Niagara
for all classes of work, it is estimated
that the withdrawal of the water
from its natural channel will make a
difference Of but one or two inches
in the thick green sheet falling over
the Horseshoe.-St. Louis Globe

Pepper on the Stage.

Some years ago a famous actress,
having been disengaged for some
time, packed her wardrobe in pepper
TO preserve it from moths. She was
suddenly called upon to take the part
of the queen in Hamlet Being
rather late for her first scene, she
omitted to shake out her royal robes,
and her dignified entrance had an
astonishing effect The king, after
brave resistance, gave vent to a
mighty sneeZe that we'll nigh made
the stage vibrate. All the ROYAL
courtiers and maids of honor fol-
lowed suit sympathetically. Hamlet
came on with most sublime tragedy
air, but after convulsive move
ment of his princely features, he
buried them in his somber robe,
while sneeze after sneeze was all the
public heard from him. Amid the
hubbub on the stage and the shrieks
of delight from the audience, the

The introduction of a bill bv Represen.
tative Edwards in the legislature to do
away with the railroad pass system among
state officials is in the full line of a crying
reform. Had the state officials been un.
der the necessity Of paving their way last
summer they would not have defeated
their party by working up their own re.
nomination q Jamestown. Other states
are being agitated to the necessity Of
passing ansi.pass laws, and the following
from the Tomah (Wis.) Journal il pretty
good logic:
One strong argument in favor of an
anti. paas Law il that IL would undoubtedly
shorten the sessions of the legislature. II
members had to pay railroad fare they
would not he running home sverY week,
and the legislature would DO in session six
days Of the week instead of three or four.
There would then be a Fastening of work
and a short session, thereby saving thou.
sands Of dollars In legislative expenses.
