VALUE OF WATERFALLS.

Since the development and utilization
of waterfalls for power, each fall has a
capital value, and the Electrical Re-
view estimates the value Of these wa
terfalls in the United States that are
already utilized at $2O0OOO,OO0. This is
a subject in which Montana is inter-
ested, because the state is rich in this
natural water power In these days
nearly all the falls are utilized, as,
while they may be at considerable
distance from the raw material. the
power, transformed into electricity. is
carried by wire as far as a hundred
miles or more to the factories.
The falls are an important factor in
the industrial development of some of
the southern states. The Baltimore
Sun estimates that the industrial re-
sources of Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia and North Carolina have been
increased not less than $500 600, 900 by
converting water-power into electricity
and carrying it to factories. -
1t was it's admirable location with
reference to this natural power that
created Great Falls. the beautiful
Electric City of the north, and the
many other falls in the state not yet
utilized doubtless mark the sites of
many fine cities yet to be.

contained in these six words is in strik-
ing contrast with that exhibited by the
thief during the first few weeks of his
confinement when he seemd to find
some satisfaction in the sensa ton he
had created and in the surprise caused
by the cleverness of his methods. His

cate that he realizes just how far a
man falls when he deliberately betrays

the interior department had published

there are less than 10000 Indians

more uncommon as the white settlers
have crowded around the reservations.

Bancroft did not believe that there

10000 in New England.

Why Fewer Educated Women Marry.

Educational and sociological writer's
have discussed not a little the question
whether the higher education of wo-
men turns them from the path that
leads to matrimony and a happy home
life. Most agree that it does and
then they look for the reasons. A
valuable addition to the literature upon
this interesting and important topic is
furnished by Prof Mucnstcrbcrg who
handles 1t in the spirit Of a philoso-
pher In the international Review. He
starts out by declaring that education
has not, as many writer's have claimed.
made women less attractive to men.
and then asks the question:: But has
not marriage become less attractive
to the woman" Apparently he
thinks that coeducation is especially
apt to produce this condition.. begin
ming when. the girls in the country
school discover how stupid the boys
are, the process Of disillusion culminat-
gether is continued. He presents the
phases of womanly views on the mar
rage question by striking series OF
statements: THE average German
girl thinks am sorry to say. that she
will marry any one who will not make
her unhappy: the ideal German girl
thinks that she will marry only the
man who will certainly make her
happy. The ideal American girl thinks
that she can marry only the man with
out whom she will be unhappy. and the
average American girl approaches this
standpoint with an alarming rapidity."
The Boston Herald which presents an
abstract of his article wants to know
what is the matter with this stand
point. Why should the approach to it
of the average American girl be
alarming? 1t does not essentially
differ from that of the ideal German
girl. When a woman thinks that
particular man can certainly make her
happy, she will be likely to think that
she will be unhappy-that is, COM
paratively unhappy-without him.
1t seems to be a case where. if the wO-
men are not less attractive, the re-
Sponsibility of u failure to marry rests
upon the men who are unable to make
themselves attractive to educated wO-
men. The proper remedy for this con-
dltion is not to deprive woman of edu-
cation. but to improve the qualifica-
tionS of man. > 80

A Movement Which Travellers Will Appreciate

In the midst of all the commercial
enterprise of the times it is the most
gratifying to note an evidence of an
appreciation of the graces of life on the
part of those great corporations which
are popularity supposed to devote all
their energies to the acquisition of
larger dividends. 1t has been the GUS
tom for the past decade or two for
prosperous railroad companies to
beautify their stations and station
grounds, and the great New York
Central system in extension Of this
idea now proposes to beautify. where
practicable. the frequently dreary
reaches between stations, to make it's
line a continuous parkway. SO far as
possible. To this end it has engaged
a well-known landscape architect in
New York city, to adorn not only the
stopping places but the whole line of
the road with flowers and grass. trees.
vines and shrubbery, and cover unin-
teresting and unsightly. places with
appropriate natural growths. AS the
New York Central controls the Boston
& Albany and other lines there is rea-
son to believe that this plan will be
widely carried out. and it is certainly
devoutly hoped by the travelling public
that other systems will follow this
splendid example. Such public spirit
ed policy deserves warmest COM
mendation. In many places along our
New England lines Nature has left
nothing for the landscape gardener to
do. but in many other places the out
look from the car windows is any
thing but attractive in comparison to
what it might be were little money
and lot OF good taste expended.

And DER the world a silver haze
Blends the emerald with the blue
Now doth summer clothc the land
In garments free from spot or stain
The lustrous leaves. the hills untanned.
The vivid meads, the glaucous grain.
The dav looks new. a coin unworn
Freshly stamped in heavenly mint,
The sky keeps on its look of morn:
OF age and death there is no hint.
How soft the landscape near and far!
A shining veil the trees iufold
The day remembers moon and star:
A silver lining with its gold.
Again l see the clover bloom,
And wade in grasses lush and sweet:
Again has vanished all my gloom
With daisies smiling at my feet.
Again from out the garden hives
The exodus of frenZied bees,
The humming cyclone onward drives,
Or finds rcpose amid the trees.
At dawn the river seems shade

But when the sun the mist has laid.
