ated in sixty-six years. Yet perhaps the man had a very good excuse for his dilatory career. No life in the world is more fascinating than that which can be led at the German universities, where study and pleasure are so justly bal- anced that one never interferes with the other. Perhaps Busch was under no nec- essity to hustle for a living and came to the conclusion that he could spend his days Just as pleasantly and prof. tably at hls beloved alma mater as he could anywhere else. He was not so far wrong after all, but the constant change 'of faces, the departure of old friends and the arrival of strangers to take their places, must at least have brought a shade of sadness.
 Flowers eggs are a great luxury for London epicures just now. The eggs are selling as high as 2.5O each, so a per son must be a decided epicure to enjoy them at such price. The season is now in full swing. A London paper states that dozens of the small olive-hued eggs are on sale in the markets and West End poultry shops. but it Is safe to say that the class of people described in the novels of Charles Dickens are not much in evl- denee as customers.
 The fact that 2OOO men are reported to have been killed in the recent engage ment of the Japs and Russians along the Yalu is proof positive that the present struggle in the far east Is a war where there is real fighting, and real carnage, such as historians have related of the past. The battle of the Yalu is perhaps the bloodiest engagement in many years and if the combatants continue to increase in pugnacity thousands of the little yellow men and the bearded Russians will strew the plains of Manchuria before this war is ended. There is certainly no long distance fighting in a bayonet charge.
 A waiter known to hundreds of promi- nent people of New York as Henri" of twenty years at Delmonico's There was nothing glorious or sublime asso- ciated with his career, but yet he was a perfect waiter, and perfection in one's chosen line of work is certainly of some account. Henri has been eulogized in many of the eastern papers, which shows that his worth is at least recognized and that he will be missed from his humble sphere in life perhaps more than other men who have made much noise in the world. Henri is said by the society leaders statesmen, politicians and other distin- gdshed people whom he served to have haa asf af 1o oie ItsCt Inc boy, the millionaire and the petulent so- ciety beauty were all served with the same alacrity, the same difference, and the same skill. As well as any man in New York he knew what constituted good meal correctly served, and there can be no doubt that Henri deserved the high esteem i'll which he was held. P. c.

From the New York Herald.

S IAGARA FALLS, N. Y.-Geolo- MI gists have written many pages to tell how Niagara Falls came to be; but the Iroquois Indians have their own version of the information of the great cataract, and this is the story they tell:
 Once upon a time, a long while ago, there lived in western New York a beau tiful Indian maiden whose parents wanted her to marry hideous old chief because he was wealthy.
 The maiden said that while she had made 1t a rule to obey her parents in all things, as a dutiful daughter should in this case she must decline, unless they insisted upon 1t. They did insist.
 The maiden went walking in the woods to think 1t over, and the first she knew she had reached the Niagara river, just below where 1t comes out of Lake Erie.
 As the maiden stood by the river and saw it rushing down out of the lake her thoughts became more and more sad, and seeing a canoe on the bank, she deter mined to trust herself to the mercy of the water rather than marry the old chief.
 At that time there were no falls where the laundering waters of Niagara now roar, but there were rapids, whirling and swirling aroung jagged rocks. The whole place looked just as the rapids above the falls look now.
 To be caught in these rapids was death, and the girl knew it, but she was so sad that she did not care what became of her. So she launched the canoe, jumped in, and the swift waters began to hurry her toward the rapids.
 Now the great Indian thunder god, Hinun. who brought the clouds and rain and controlled the lightning, had cave at the junction of the lake and river where he used to spend his time fishing, and it was his canoe which the maiden had launched upon the waters of the Niagara river. Sitting in the mouth Of the cave. the thunder god saw the girl sailing away in his canoe.
 At first he was angry, but when he saw how beautiful the girl was and that she was drifting to death he was sorry ana
  that she had left the paddle on the pank and was helpless.
 Spreading his wings-for Hinun nao wings-he flew to the rescue ana caught the maiden just as the canoe was peins dashed against the rocks Of the rapios' He took her back to the cave, and asked her to tell him why she did such foolisn thing as to venture out on the river with ont a naddle. He would say nothing about her taking the canoe without asking TOT it. .,
 The maiden told him all, and he said: "well, perhaps you would better stay here A while, as I happen to know that the chief you speak of will die in few days. and then you can go home in safe ty. But while you are here,' added Hmm. you might as well learn some- thing and I will be your teacher"
 So the girl stayed on the shores of the river several days.
 why" asked the maiden one day, "do neople in my village die in such numbers? What causes so much illness there?"
 "I will tell you,' replied Hinun, "and you must tell people and make them move the village nearer to the shores of the lake"
 Then he told her how under the ground on which the village stood there lived an enormous snake, who delighted in killing persons and who crept out at night and

 Alabama's bill is comparatively light, but it is heavier than the facts justify. Alabama's reconstruction bonds were exchanged for new bonds during Gov ernor Houstons administration, and it is believed all were called in. A nomi- nal debt of 32,oOO,O0O was reduced by him to about s12,O0O,OOO, and the set clement accomplished by Governor Houston was acceptable to the bond holders.
 The decision of the supreme court which calls out these lists of repudi- ated bonds does not, however, disturb any of the states. In order to collect any of the bonds in question they must be presented in good faith to a state which can sue another state. Men may as we'll lose their bonds by re- pudiation as by gift, and and there is no probability that they will over whelm South Dakota or any other state with bonds as gifts. The Boston Transcripts anticipations will not crys- tallize.

 A fine bird makes her feathers finer
 When a man Is willing to admit to his wife that he went to the races it is a sign that he won.
 Sometimes when a woman smiles she is pleased mostly always, though, 1t is to hide displeasure.
 When a young-looking woman has an eighteen-year-o son, it is a sign she likes him to keep out of sight.
 It's funny how woman can convince herself that the most of her clothes can get tighter from shrinking, without her getting fatter.s

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

T IS regarded as no good omen that
 a special train to the fair at St. Louis was wrecked on the very day that the big show opened. and those who re- member the series of railroad disasters that occurred In 1893 when the Worlds fair was held in Chicago. are already making dire predictions of worse aeci- dents to come There will of course be lively competition among the various rail- roads for the patronage of fair visitors, but the public Is not at all anxious for the railroads to allow their zeal to inter- fere with precautions for sarety. There will also be a great number of special trains run, and these will be especially liable to come to grief. However, 1t Is to be hoped that traffic officials in all parts of the country will endeavor to prevent the repetition of the disasters that cast a blight on the Worlds fair in 1893.
 Nowadays the f1abby muscles and fiat chest that had become almost characters tic of large number of clergymen few years ago are rapidly disappearing before the march of new thought and new ideas. The minister of today Is often a man who takes a keen interest in sports and Is able to participate in them with some credit. He is learning the value of physical development in his work, and has come to the conclusion that he can perform his Christian labors in a much more satisfactory way when he has health and strength. Brawn in the pulpit s. doubt that muscle has some weight in fight against evil. although It may only be employed for sustained effort in the pulpit or in the slums. Unfortunatelv

 In a short time Panama will have so much money she will not know what to do with it and there Is serious fear expressed that the little republic will be swamped by the flood of gold from Uncle Sam's coffers. Panama Is not used to having money to spend and s1O0oo,OO0 is big sum to get all at one time. Af fairs will be more prosperous in the re- public than they have been since the days of Balboa and Las Casas. It Is hoped that the Panamanians, or Pana- mians, or Panamans, or Panamaniacs will not permit their heads to be turned by the golden prize that has fallen into their empty purses.
