NIAoARA,s VOICES.
They Are Not Rambling or Rapid. bu'
PIangent and Silvery.


Plangen and Silvery.
Niagara has many voices, and somt
of them are thus described by Mrs
van Rensselaer, in the Century: zane
the noise of Niagara? Alarming
things have been said about it, but
they are not true. 1t is a great and
mighty noise, but it is not, as Henne
pin thought, an outrageous noise II
is not a roar. 1t does not drown the
voice or stun the ears. Even at the
actual foot of the falls it is not OPP
pressive. 1t is much less rough than
the sound Of heavy surf-steadier,
more homogeneous, less metallic, very
deep and strong, yet mellow and soft;
soft, l mean, in its quality. AS to the
noise of the rapids, there is none more
musical. 1t is neither rumbling nor
sharp. 1t is clear, ~plangent, silvery.
1t is so like the voice of a steep brook
much magnifed, but not made coarser
or more harsh-that, after we have
known it, each liquid call from a for
est hillside will seem, like the odor of
grapevine, a greeting from Niagara. 1t
is an inspiriting, an exhilarating
sound, like freshness, GOODNESS, vitality
itself made audible. And yet it is a
lulling sound. When we have looked
out upon the American rapids for
many days, it is hard to remember con-
tented life amid motionless surround
ings; and so, when we have slept be-
side them for many nights, it is hard
to think of happy sleep in an empty
silence. Still another kind of music is
audible at Niagara. 1t must be list
ened for on quiet nights, but then IL
will be heard. 1t is like the voice of an
orchestra so very far away that its
notes are a~ttenuated to an incredible
delicacy and are internationally per-
ceived, as though waited upon varia-
BILE zephyrs. 1t is the most subtitle, the
most mysterious music in the world
What is it's origin? Why should we
ask? Such fairy-like sounds ought moi
to be explained. Their appeal is to the
imagination only. They are so faint
SO far away, that they almost escape
the ear, as the lunar bow and the fiutet
tints Of the American falls almost
escape the eye. And yet we need MOI
fear to lose them, for they are as rea
as the deep bass of the c~ataracts."

PREPARING FOR A NEW PLAY.
Complete Model In Miniature Of Scenery
Made Before Production.

Complete Model In Miniature of Scenery
Made Before Production.
The preparation for a new play, as
far as the scenery is concerned, is
most interesting. A complete model
in miniature is made, about the size
of one of the German toy theaters seen
in the shops. The picture is carefully
painted, the rocks, if there be any, and
the foliage are cut out, and all the de-
tails are followed with no less thought
than when the real affair is attacked.
The work is done in water color,
mounted on pasteboard, and if the
scheme be an interior there are real
curtains in miniature, flights of steps.
and the ~hangings, all seriously worked
out. 1t is something that would delight
the heart of a boy and furnish him with
endless amusement. These models are
kept until after the piece is produced,
and are then put away on shelves, alasl
only to warp and to become covered
with dust. But the master painters
work does not end here by any means,
for there are lights to be arranged,
since they play an important part in
the performance, and must be regulat-
ed by the scheme of color; so there are
long conferences with electricians and
many discussions with the makers OF
glass shades whereby the exact tints
may be obtained. When every detail
has been settled, then the great acres
of canvas are spread on the paint
frames and the drawing begun. Large
china pots are used for the colors.
These are filed with paints, which are
mixed with water and a size, and en-
ormous brushes put the pigment on the
canvas. 1t is wonderful to watch the
artist who dashes on the paint with no
apparent care and who has to work
fast to cover the surface before the
color dries, which it does quickly

1Sa1-'9S

'As the Outturn Of the crop of 1S91-9S
demonstrated by its enormous result
that the weather in August and Sep
TENDER, instead of being injurious, must
have been highly favorable, and as
both the Atlantic States and the Gulf
States. except Texas, have had more
rain than in that year, which these re-
ports for August and September alleged
to be too dry, the demonstration is
conclusive that this, as far as August
and September weather is concerned,
should be a better crop.
THE largest purchases on record by
the trade were last year 10,736,000.
Now a growth of II 100000 bales, which
| think we may say, is now assured,
with the old cotton held in the interior,
will mean for the South to sell and the
trade to buy more cotton than in any
previous year, and for the third year a
large addition to the surplus, which at
