Sight Seeing In the East.

EDITOR or THE TMEs:-
 Having returned from my summer trip, l shall attempt . short account of it, though fully aware of the fact that many of your readers will not be interested, having visited the same places themselves. Yet may be able to present . few thoughts which will be of interest to some.
 After pleasant journey of a day and night our party of nearly one hundred ar- rived at the village, or rather little city, of Niagara Falls, on the morning of the twentieth inst. The first thing was to get breakfast, and then we started out to see the sights.
 Our manager first took us to the WhIrl- pool rapids. These rapids are about two miles below the falls. Between here and the falls the river flows quietly along. Here what a change. It Is only about three hundred feet wide and the water rushes through at the rate of twenty seven miles an hour. It has been estimated that fully fifteen hundred million cubic feet of water pass through every minute. The estimated depth is three hundred feet The water thunders through the gorge with terrific force and seems as if 1t would tear to pieces the banks which enclose It. It seems to lash itself in wild fury. throw ing up its pillows in whirling, seething masses for many feet.
 It was through this seething, rushing mass that Capt. Webb made his foolhardy attempt to swim, which resulted In the loss of his life.
 Leaving this fascinating spot, our next objective point was The Falls. shall not attempt to describe them for neither press nor picture can do justice to them. As ! stood and looked upon the sublime spectacle a feeling of awe and reverence for the great Creator came over me. Ma ture every where speaks to us of God but it Is the furious cataract rushing madly over Q precipice; the massive mountain towering high upward into ethereal space {; the thunder storm accompanied by fiery tongues of fhme ;-it is these which iin- press the mind most fOrcibly of the might and power of the Creator.
 Yet the voice of God speaks to'us in the thunder storm as it did to his prophets of old. The massive mountain points us always towards the blue heavens. Sc over the mighty cataract hangs ever the Bow of promise telling us that His might and power are tempered by infinite love and mercy.
 We viewed the falls from Prospect Park, iron, Goat island, from above and from below. We went up in the tower three hundred feet where we obtained magnificent view of the city, the falls and the Canada side. We wenN0n the little steamer, The Maid of the Mist, as close up to the fails as she dared go. We walked over the new suspension bridge Into Canada. Here we obtained the love Hest view of ali, So like are the people and the customs to those of the U.

On the American side the stripes and stars fluttered and each seemed to De flirting in a friendly manner with the other. Yet under the glove of friend ship was tue iron had that gave warning,

A KURDISH ARISTOCRAT.

Supported by tho Dcprcdstions Of His
Followers.
A very fine specimen of the Kurdish
brigand named Khallo, of the Bclektsee
or Bciekec tribe, has family composed
of 6fty-sevcn persons, who live in the
lap of luxury and feed on the fat of the
land; and, as they are too dignified to
do any work, they keep twenty domes-
tic servants. They have no corn fields
says the London Telegraph, no agri-
culture, no anything but thirty Arab
steeds of their own. The Armenians
must provide the rest. In spring Khallo
summons his dependents and dispatches
them on series of predatory expedi-
lions. They risk their lives, drive off
herds of Armenian sheep, oxen, horses,
seize upon carpets and money, violate
women and girls, and return home al
ways laden with booty I'd sometimes
reduced in numbers. It is not long
since Turkish soldiers came, and, under
compulsion of the central government,
forced one of the Hassuantsy chieftains
to restore 5000 sheep, after which he
remained very wealthy man, as be-.
fore, and is now hourishing. If an AR
menian were nl-advised enough to
refuse anything to Kurd, he would be
taught a lesson the recollection of
which would hinder him from ever re-
peating the blunder; his corn would
perish in the flames, his cattle would be
raided, his sheep driven away, and very
probably he himself would be wiped
out of existence. The examples illus
trative of this method of procedure
which have noted down with names
and dates would fiji volume. ~.

NOT DANGEROUS.
A British Physician Sets m Important

A British Physician Sets an Important
Matter Right. s#
An Englishman has just advanced a
theory in a London medical journal that
will be hailed with delight by at least
the younger generation of this coun-
try and probably by the youth of all the
world, says the Washington Star. This
Briton has delivered q scientific opinion
to the effect that kissing, once the OBJ
1ect of much medical disrepute, Is an
altogether wholesome and healthy ex-
ercise; that it is not the dangerous
practice which it has of late been
painted, and that, instead of being
avoided, as being fraught with bacteri-
illogical menace, it is to be encouraged
as one of the best of all exercises for
the human system. This may. be put
ting it little strong, and, perhaps,
stronger than the scientific Englishman
Intends that his opinions should be
taken, but it is cheering, nevertheless.
1t was deadly blow that was leveled
at the art of osculation when the med
ical world declared that kissing from
lip to lip tended to introduce into
either one of the two systems that
were thus engaged-and sometimes not
engaged-new forms of animal life
that were deleterious to health. One
or other of the kissers was supposed to
be always fairly teeming with bacteria.
To kiss meant sure, though, perhaps,
slow death. A shudder ran through the
anaative, sentimental world, and the
market rate of kisses fell with thud.
Hitherto affectionate couples became
distant, preserving radius Of microb-
ical safety, as it were. When fears
were overcome, and surreptitious kisses
taken, the apprehension fingered that
q great danger had been faced. It
cannot be denied that the average kiss
grew shorter in duration and dimin-
ished in frequency. But the latest
scientific opinion has probably checked
the tendency to sidetrack the kiss.
This opinion is to the effect that in the
kissing persons encounter only the
benefcent organisms. and that the adj
vantages Of kissing far outweigh its
infnitesimal risk.

An Interesting Letter from
RnLnp.k ShnrQ

An Interesting Letter from
Robert Shore.
n S. G.. Ferrin, who is visiting
with friends in the East, reports
that he is having a very pleasant
time.
! Quite number of hogs have
been marketed from this town in
the last two weeks. We have
good markets for hogs on every
side of us. Bigelow, Rushmore
and Sibley get about all the hogs
raised here; Sibley getting per-
haps the larger share.
The hard winds of last week
did considerable damage to corn.
G. G. Erwin had field of some
forty acres which he had to replant
and some others had to replant in
places. Other fields do not seem
to be injured at all. Small grain
is looking very we'll and premises
good yield, and corn, if it has no
further backsets, will probably
make an average crop.
John De Boos, the pioneer mer-
chant of Bigelow, still holds forth
at the same old stand where he
greeted his patrons more than
twenty years ago. But the I'M
pretentious little store of those
days has given place to the large
and cemmodious establishment
which today stands prominent in
the little village. Mr.. De Boos
has lost none of his old time cour-
tesy, but meets his friends and
patrons with all the affability Of
his more youthful days.
People will await with some in
terest the showing of the census
reports as taken by the enumer-
ators this month. When the
United States census was taken in
1890, Mobiles county had larger
population than any of the other
counties forming this legislative
district. The population then
was, Mobiles county, 1850; Rock,
6,Sl7; Pipestone, 5,132, and Muir
ray, 6,692. We hope that when
the enumerators returns are
counted we shall find that Mobiles
county is still in the lead. Mobiles
county cannot, however, boast the
largest village, or at least could /
not at that time. Pipestone vii
lage in 1890 had a population of
1892; Luverne, l,466; Worthing-
ton, l, l64, and Slayton, $50. The
most populous township in Mobiles
was Grand Prairie, 1865; the least
populous, Summit Lake, l48. I'M
the five years that have. passed
some townships will have changed
places, and, perhaps,some villages
In few short weeks the figures
will tell the story.
