The Maid of the Mist.

The story of how the famous little
craft the Maid Of the Mist shot the whirl-
pool rapids at Niagara falls is an inter-
esting one. The boat, as has been the
custom of her successors, was used to
carry adventurous visitors up the Niaga-
ra river as near to the falls as was possi-
bic. On June 10, 1861, her skipper, hay
Ing become financially involved, received
word that the sheriff intended to seize
his boat. He concluded to foil the min
ions of the law by shooting the rapids
and prevailed upon two other reckless
spirits to accompany him.
Those that witnessed the feat were
thrilled at the sight. As the Maid pass
cd under the bridge she gave long leap
downward and was almost buried from
view in the foaming waters. She arose,
however, with no great damage and flew
into the whirlpool, mile below, which
was comparatively easy of navigation.
She finally sailed down into the smooth
water below Lewiston and escaped from
the sheriff. The chances for successfully
competing against the fury of the rap
ids are said to be 30 to 1, and the feat is
recorded as one of marvellous and unpree-
edented daring.

CONCERNING NosEeLEED.
Facts That Are Useful TO Know
About "a Common Addiction.

ABOUT common AtulStiOn.
Nosebleed Is so common In childhood
that little account is ordinarily made Of
II. Where it occurs repeatedly without
apparent provocation, however, effort
should be made not only 10 check the im-
mediate attack, but TO ascertain the cause
Of the trouble. Ii is well known that
heart disease, congestion of the liver and
other conditions affected by or affecting
the circulation Of the blood prcdisposc to
noscbecd, and considerable anxiety Is
frequently felt lest the noscblced Of child
hood may be the result OF serious con
stitutional causes. Most commonly the
cause is local
The best means Of checking the immc-
diate attack Is pressure with the finger
on the upper lip just beneath the nostrils
A small pad Of absorbent cotton or a
piece Of handkerchief may be placed in
side the lip and tightly pressed against
the gum from without, thus comprcssing
the two small arteries Of the upper lip
that supply the nose. These can ordina-
rily be felt pulsating in this locality.
II the bleeding is profuse or prolonged,
the child should be placed in a rcstful
position, but with the head elevated,
while ice may be held 10 the forehead or
the back OF the neck To decrease still
further the blood pressure within the
vessels of the nose n mustard footbath Is
Of service.
In the meantime blowing the nose must
be avoided. Plugging the nostrils both in
front and back is last resort to keep the
sufferer from actual peril.
The prcdisposing causes of noseblecd
are, as has been said, commonly local.
Careful examination Of the nose by the
physician is therefore always necessary
in recurrent attacks. Diseased areas IN
the nose are usually found, in which the
vessels are apongy and unnaturally tur-
gid.
The depression Of the child's health
caused by repeated attacks Of nosebleed
not infrequcntly requires attention. If
the trouble Is due to systematic weak
ness attention is 10 he especially directed
to an Improvement of the general condi-
ton, while if the lungs are themselves
weak repeated attacks Of noseblecd are
sometimes indications of the need of n
change of climate or Of proper physical
exercise at home.
The formation Of scabs or crusts, often
attended in childhood with picking OF the
nose, must not be overlooked as a cause
Of nOseblecd. Watchfulncss may be re-
quircd TO prevent the formation of an
unfortunate habit. but the affected spots
must also be treated with ointment or
other simple means Of healing.-Medical

HE PLAYED ALL NIGHT.
A Funny story About Camille Saint
Saens, the Composer.


Camille Saint-Saens, the brilliant
French composer. an extremely near
sighted man, was at a large social gath
ering In Paris one evening when the host
asked him to play something. He for a
long time refused TO do so; but, being
earnestly pressed, he took his seat at the
piano. His hair was tossed back, his
eye cleaned with excitement. Now he
would bend over the piano, then he
would throw himself back, and all the
while his fingers would run over the keys
as he extemporized In the most brilliant
fashion. The company were delighted.
After an hour pleasure gave place to
WEAKNESS. Two hours afterward some
Of the guests began to leave. Their eX-
ample quickly became contagious, and by
degrees nobody remained in the room ex-
cept the master OF the house (the hostess
had long since gone to bed).
Saint-Saens, more inspired and more
tumultuous than ever, utterly uncon-
scious of the incidents around him, play
cd on as fast and as frenzied as ever. At
last, about a. M, seeing Saint-Saens
playing with more ardor than ever, the
master of the house, completely over
come with fatigue, became desperate and,
laying his hand on the composers shoul-
der, said, Il beg pardon, my dear sir, but
pray are you not little fatigued?"
Saint-Saens replied, without leaving the
piano, mot in the least" and, to show
how fresh he was, struck into new inn
provisation with wilder enthusiasm than
ever. The host gave up, stole out of the
room and went to bed. At daybreak
Saint-Saens rose, gravely bowed to the
tables and chairs and went home, COM
pletely ignorant that the chairs and ia
bles had been for hours his only audi

VOICES OF GREAT ORATORS.
How They Controlled Them In im-
FASHIONED speech.

Henry Clay's reputation rs great
public speaker arose largely from his
sonorous voice and we'll rounded periods.
Thomas Corwin, who was q greater
speaker than he, dealt more In humor, OF
which he was the most conspicuous mas
ter that ever appeared In American pol
tiles. He always thought. not without
cause, that his very readiness to convuise
m audience with laughter detracted from
his fame and gave the solemn, sonorous
speaker like Clay, great advantage with
the reputation makers,
Caleb b. Smith had lisp In his speech,
which. however, was scarcely distin-
Cuishablc In the rapid fire of his clear,
soprano utterances. Smith was not great
IN the printed page. but as popular or
ator on the stump he had no superior and
few equals. Cassius NJ, Clay roared like
railway speeding over long trestle,
but In the rumble his words were at
little distance indistinct. 1t was not so
with Smith. As far as you could hear
the ringing tones of his voice you could
distinguish his words and follow the line
IF his thought, although he spoke with
much greater rapidity than Clay. George
". Julian spoke slowly and distinctly.
He was the best master Of the weapons
of irony and sarcasm the senate ever pro-
duced. A bitter word grew terrible as II
fell from his lips.
u. w. Voorhees, was the orator OF
lofty flight and startling simile. His
voice could accommodate itself to every
change Of thought or modification of feel
ing. He could strew flowers one moment
or revel in the haunts of desolation and
death in the next. His voice was his
servant and he was more the actor than
the logician.
Morton was an image breaker. When
other men wrought fanciful creations Of
frail materials, finished In beautiful pat
terms, his merciless logic, heightened by
the wonderful depth and force of his
voice, went crashing through them to
make plain the truth which they had oh
scured.
The power of his voice was so great
that when he used to read his keynote
speeches, holding the sheets open in his
hand before him, not one person in twen-
ty Of the thousands who heard him knew
at the time or would afterward believe
that he was reading a carefully prepared
Grafton rather than speaking from the in-
spiration of the hour. = Indianapolis

The Effect Was the Same.

John Ruskin was n fearless critic and
made many enemies by his. radical
views. He never considered the man or
the friend in his criticisms. 1t was the
work itself that concerned him. He once
criticised, in his fearless way, the work
of a well known painter, who was much
grieved at the effect. On hearing of the
sorrow he had caused he wrote to the
artist that he regretted he could not
speak more favorably Of the picture, but
hoped it would make no difference in
their friendship. 1t is said the artist
wrote in reply:
Dear Ruskin-Next time meet you I shall
knock you down, but / hope It will make no DIFF
ference In our friendship.

leave the place without paying for 1t.
Tiegen, who served him, went after
him and asked for the money. Pugh
threw 1t down on a table, and as Tie
gen started to pick It up Pugh brushed
1t off on the floor.
This angered Tiegen, and he struck
Pugh in the face end pushed him
toward the door, kicking him at the
same time. Pugh did not strike back.
He walked to a gun store, purchased
a revolver and cartridges, returned to

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Bradstreets Report on Conditions OF
Business Throughout the Country.

business throughout the Country.
NEW YORK, Nov. s.-Bradstreet's
review OF trade says:
Unseasonably warm weather contin-
ues the leading directly unfavorable
feature of distributive trade because
of the check given to retail distriou-
ton, and, therefore, to recorder busi-
ness In most lines Of drygoods. wearing
apparel and shoes. Conservatism, in
view of the near approach of the
Presidential election, is undoubtedly an
element exercising considerable in
fluenee, particularly in stock specula-
tion, but a conspicuous exception to this
Is found in the re-awakening of de-
mand and the advances in prices shown
in the iron trade In widely separated
sections. This is really one Of the most
important developments OF the week,
and is taken as indicating not only
that confidence in election results is
felt, but that consumers stocks are
down to a minimum.
Speculation on the various exchanges
has ruled rather slow. In wheat the
moving feature has been the reitera-
ton of stories OF Argentine crop dam
age, which was instrumental In induc-
ing some advances. much of which was
lost later. In cotton fears of frost
damage has been the moving factor,
and here, also. some advance has been
scored from the low point reached last
week Wool is showing increased ac-
tlvity, while prices are firm in SYM
pathy with the better tone OF London
and Melbourne advance. Western live
stock receipts for October were very
heavy. but prices have held well despite
this.
A distinct and marked improvement
in the demand for both crude and fin
ished iron and steel is noted. From
Chicago. Plttsburg, Birmingham and
Philadelphia come combinations of
the better inquiry for pig iron at a
slight advance, except in the case of
the Southern product. This movement
is regarded as significant in view Of
the reported cutting of prices by Eng
llsh and Scotch makers.
Although the export demand for iron
and steel has quieted of late. that for
cotton is apparently undiminmished,
and this week witnesses the heaviest |
single days exports from New Orleans
ever recorded.

1t is 400 years now since the first
known muff was worn. Venice was the

Of lady who introduced the fashion un-

therefore it is odd that the fashion should
have originated there. The Venetian
DANES did not use the muff originally to
to protect their pretty hands They used
it rs n cuddl;ng place for the small dogs
which were fashionable then. The first

In the seventeenth century men as well
as women carried muffs, at least in
France.
