Dr,Lyman Abbott, speaking on the
"Beauty OF Death" said: ~ would
not live III world that bore no witness
that material things are transitory."
Tragedy? Is death a tragedy-or
wholesale death moro tragic than in
d,vidual deaths? A single blossom
falls from the leai. Then puff
Of wind comes out OF tie north and
shakes the tree and n hundred bios
SONS follow. The one is more tragic
than the other. DEATH? What is it?
We are in the theater and one char
actcr comes upon the stage and
speaks his part and goes off, and then
another, and then another, and by and
by the curtain falls and the play stops
and then true life begins. For
death is life, come when and how and
as it will. And we need to be remind
ed that all things earthly are trans
tory, and yet despite destruction, do
not learn the lesson.

The Big Bend Chief prints the FOL
lowing pathetic paragraph: ga Mich.
igan woman who has had husband
in the state penitentiary for about five
years is evidently getting lonely. She
wrote the governor as follows: 'Plee,
your majesty let him come home, if
for no other reason than for to et
his three children which ha been born
since he Left" No doubt the poor
wretch in the penitentiary was pinine
TO see those three children.

Electric power is supplied to the Koiar gold fields from the Cauvery Falls, distant ninety miles; and 1t is estimated that 6O.000 horse power can be obtained from the Periyar reservoir, which was made for irriga- ton purposes. There are other sources available for water power in northern India, some of which have already been considered with view to their utiliza- ton.

At last the agony is over, and all the people, including Sir Thomas, will heave sigh of relief. Yesterday the time limit didn't win. The Reliance did, and the Shamrock was more hope Elessly behind than usual. She didn't even finish.
 In all the contests for the cup there has never been so complete and discour- aging a failure as that made by the Shamrock. All that money and British skill could do were done for her. She came over with high hope. Not few in this country became infected with the idea that she was dangerous. Now she is almost ridiculous, or would be if 1t were polite to speak so of the hard work and much money which she has cost Sir Thomas.
 We suppose that by and by there will be another attempt to lift the cup that has so long been unIifted. But nobody is in any hurry for another contest" This one has been so dull and uninter- testing that it will take some time and new effort to get up another excitement. But hope springs. eternal, and some body will sooner or later get the notion that the cup is movable. And perhaps the very next time it will be. Also per- haps it won't

SOME WATER POWER WAITING.

The water power of the world is. only just beginning to be utilized. Cassier's Magazine points out that in South America, where coal is wanting, the riv- CTS which flow down the western slopes of the Andes will form fruitful source
 of power. In Argentina beginning has already been made at Cordova. Many of the rivers from the Andes are now absorbed in the arid deserts of the
 western pampas, and their regulation will serve the double purpose of irriga- tion and power. Brazil has one grand
 fall, that of Paulo Alfonso, 147 miles from the sea on the Rio San Francisco,
 which is navigable to the fall. By some who have seen both, this fall is regard ed as finer sight than Niagara. Africa, with it's four great rivers and notable waterfalls, has vast amount of water power in store for the future. Notwith- standing the requirements ,of irrigation, some. water should be available for power at Assuan. on the Nile. Above

 Iron Workers, were on it, but managed to save themselves.

 He was stranger here. He found Il different unions of irOnworkers. He joined as many of them as he could. and then proceeded to consolidate, them all He accomplished this mighty task ir the end, as New York knows to its cost
