pressed the hope and the belief that be-
fore many years the great cataract of
Niagara will be turned aside from its
course and every particle of it's majes-
tic force utilized in furnishing electric
power to the mills and railroads of the
surrounding region The Harvesting
OF the giant to the service of man has
already begun, and there will be two
opinions as to the wisdom of carrying
the process of subjugation so far. Ma
terial advantage is not the only thing
to be considered; grand and beautiful
scenery has a value that cannot

could make good the loss of Niagara

That the world is full of dissatisfied
and unhappy people we all KNOW. but
very few of us give any thought TO one
of the principal causes Of the despon-
dency and sadness of the ace. 1t is
only when we have almost finished our
lives that we learn that great expec.a-
tons and high hopes are only extremes
from which we must recover, and that
every undue anticipation is an Ennat-
ural condition, and must bring its re-
action in corresponding depression. 1t
is very much better to preserve a fair
equilibrium under all circumstances.
"A perfectly splendid time" is almost
invariably followed by o series of
events that almost rob life of it's
brightness. 1t is not that anything so
terrible has really occurred, but the
good time has raised the hopes so high
and flied the heart with such bright
anticipation Of future good times that
everyday pleasures appear tame and
insipid.
