Hadn't Heard of Niagara.

DR.. White, the American ambassa-
dor, tells an interesting anecdote of
the German empress. He was minis
ter to Germany during the Arthur ad
ministration, and when he returned as
ambassador after McKinley'S election
and was presented to her majesty, he
said: 81 don't suppose you will remem-
Der me, but l attended your wedding -
81 do remember you,' replied the
Kaiserin, land 1 can tell you what you
said to me on that occasion" Then
you have a better memory than t. re-
marked DR.. White, '+for 1 certainly do
not recall anything further than a
most charming occasion. You told
me-" said the empress, when you
came to congratulate me, that if 1 was
an American bride 1 would soon be
setting out for Niagara Falls. l did
not understand what you meant, but
1t made such an impression upon me
that L Immediately looked on the map
and found where Niagara Falls was
and read everything 1 could find in
books about it. "-Chicago Record-Her-

Before Huxleys untiring energy
there was found no peace for hum
bugs, dissem blers or those who wished
nothing better than to be left in lazy
satisfaction with the accepted order OF
things. In these controversies he was
sometimes too bitter, too fierce, ana
made use of a sarcasm which, though
delicious, was frequently little short
of cruel. He was a firebrand, warm
enough to his friends, but ready to
consume any opponent-nay, more.
looking out for opponents with the
keenest scrutiny, lest one might per-
chance appear upon the far horizon
of the world of thought without being
favored by his disastrous notice. More
over, he was hot-tempered, and when
reused sometimes harsh and illiberal,
but his nature was of the impulsive
kind that apologies as quickly as it
errs. while through his life at all times
rar the redeeming vein of humor. II

Ga. Pipes Wear overcoat..

Many New Workers have stopped to
wonder at the long boxes packed with
straw which may be seen in the Rap
i'd Transit excavations They are over
coats of straw for all the pipes laid
bare by the tunnel workers in cold
weather. AS fast as they are uncov-
cred by one set of workmen another
comes along and wraps the pipes in a
covering of straw, which is poor
conductor of either heat or cold This
precaution is as necessary with gas as
with water conduits. Where the wa
ter will freeze in cold weather, except
in mains where it is running constant
ly, the danger of interruption to the
gas mains is equally great where the
mains are open and subject to wide
changes in temperature. These changes
cause condensation within the pipes.

that they have been troubled with

HAD STAGE FRIGHT.
Florence Burns Broke Down in

New York, Dec 20.-Though she faced
the charge of numbering her sweetheart
without a show of emotion. Florence
Burns broke down yesterday afternoon
when she made her debut at Hyde &
Behman's theater, Brooklyn. She had
the worst attack of stage fright Beh-
han had ever seen.
The only thing that saved her from
complete collapse was the friendliness
of the audience. She was greatly cha
grined by her failure, and told her man
ayers she would do better next time.
She was required to sing only the sim
plest kind of a song.
PinOver, the manager, declares she has
a sweet voice, but it was completely lost
in the theater. 1t did not have power
enough to reach beyond the orchestra.
The audience didn't mind her inability
to sing. They crowded the theater SIM
ply TO see the woman, and apDIauded
her nightly. Every one of the 1900
seats in the house was filed and hun
dreds were turned away. The firemen
stopped the selling of standing room.
At night Florence did slightly better.
She wore a beautiful costume.

Brooks tragedy promises to be very pro-
fitable for her. She will get 81 900 for
