STORY OF NIAGARA FALLS.

Great Changes Noted since the Days
 of La salle, Its Discoverer.
 Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
 Niagara Falls was discovered by La Sale, who becames aware of It's pres- ence while trying to paddle canoe up the Niagara river from Lake On- tario. Finding the current of the falls too swift to ascend, he gave up the attempt and constructed the first boat ever built in the United States little above the falls. He remained in the vicinity of Niagara several months and came away without having bought a single souvenir postal card or hay ing patronized a hackman. forming 2 record that has never been equalled.
 At the time Niagara was discoveher it was in a wild uncivilized state. Hotel accommodations were very poor and the man who tried to wade over to Goat island to admire the view was very likely to be fished out of the whirlpool rapids with Q broken leg. Shortly after the revolutionary war, however, Niagara was captured by the hackmen and has remained in captiv- ity ever since. It has been brfdged tunnelled navigated. swam, tight-roped and gone over in barrel. For 25 cents one may put on a rubber suit and go down behind 1t and feel it's ribs For 50 cents one may charter an automobile and ramble all around its awful jaws, puffing gasoline smoke In its face. once the indians fell on their faces before it and worshipped 1t. Now the pa1eface rides up through the gorge in trolley car, with his feet on the seat ahead, and kicks because there isn't a sign in the whirlpool rapids. Once La Salle gazed on it in awe and called 1t the mightiest work of nature Now the school teacher comes from Peoria, H.. on a s7.59 ex- cursion and throws ham sandwiches into 1t as a small boy throws peanuts to an elephant. It is effete, downtrod- den and dejected. It has sat for. its picture 9.000.000 times and 100000 brides have dabbled their rosy fingers in its awful nav and have murmured, How sweet" It is as tame as a caged lion and the Maid of the Mist" puts its through its tricks q dozen times a day.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How Useful It is in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that ehars coal is the safest and most efhcient disinfectant and purifier in nature. but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleans Ing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more YOU take of 1t the better; 1t is not a drug at all, but simply absorps the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectualiy clears and im- nroves the complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 1t absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 Ali druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money Is in stuarts Charcoal Lozenges; they are comnosed of the finest powdered Will law charcoal, and other harmless anti sentics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lo- xenres, the charcoal being mixed with honey. soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health. better complex ion. sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is. that no possi- hie harm can result from their contin- ued use, but on the contrary. great A Biffaio physician in speaking of inc benefits of charcoal says: 'T ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all oatients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complex ion and purify the breath. mouth and throat; also believe the hver Is great iy benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores. and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet be- lieve I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than In any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

What Becomes of American
 College Women

What rood does a college education do q woman anyhow? is still asked now and then by one who sits upon the banks of the river of progress and holds his eyes shut that he may not see the current flow past him Well. the plain truth Is that in re- spect to education. science. literature. Journalism and commercial and indus trial business the United States would ba a Iainentable loser if suddenly it we're deprived of its college bred wo- men.
 Let us see. There is Mary Carey Thomas. IL. D.. president of Bryn Mawr college. which is gradually evolving into a real university for wo- men. Few men. college presidents or otherwise. in America are so highly educated as Miss Thomas. She stud died in three European universities af- ter being graduated from the highest schools of her own land. She Is a Ph. D. of the University of Zurich. Switzerland.
 There Is Caroline Hazard. A. NJ. president of Wellesley college, where the strong and handsome girl athletes disport themselves and where physical training for women Is as near perfec- ton as has yet been reacbed outside of Japan. Miss Hazard also studied in Europe. And you may select at ran dom a bunch of men college presidents the country oyer and if one in dozen of them is as fine looking. neat in att tire and digified in appearance as both Misses Thomas and Hazard are, then American men college presidents have suddenly begun to pay much more at tention to their dress and personal bearing than they used to do--that is all
 Miss Laura Drake Gill, A. M, is dean of Barnard college. the girls depart. ment of Columbia university. New York Miss Gill was first graduated from Smith college, Massachusetts, In 1881, then went to Europe and pursued mathematical science in the universi- ties of Leipsic, Geneva and the Sor- bonne in Paris. During the Spanish American war Dean Gill engaged zeal ousiy in helping to place women nurs- es where they would do good. She also worked bravely for the orphans made by that war. So muck for an- other American college woman.
 Mary Ross Potter is dean of the wo- mems department of the University of Chicago Ella Flagg Young, Ph. D., of the Chicago university, lately received the unusual honor for a woman" of being appointed superintendent oensafe Chicago Normal college, which admits both sexes among its students. And Jane Addams herself who Justice Brewer says would make a modelimay- or of Chicago, is college woman, having been graduated from Rockland. Ill. atterward studyingdn Philadelphia and Europe.
 At the beginning of its present col legiate year Johns Hopkins. one of the most conservative institutions of learning in this country, likewise among those of the highest standing. s.x taNl cd with an American college woman, Dr. Florence R. Sabin, as a member of its faculty. Hundreds of other women graduates are teaching in the many schools and institutions of learning in our country.

graduate of Smith college and earned her living as she went along, an ex- ample of clear grit to girl graduates. Even with all the other things she had to do at school Miss Daskam wrote stories that convinced her Fellow stu dents and the Smith faculty that here was at least one college woman who would make her mark in literature. They were not mistakenA The author who can write stories for girls which are not lifeless and goody goody has a rare gift.
 Ida Minerva TarbeIl, historical and biographical writer; she with the gift of fact hunting, who tests in all lights the truth of every statement she pre- pares to make, then lays 1t before the world without fear or favor. Ida Tar bell, too, Is an American college wo- man, born and reader in Pennsylvania, graduated from Allegheny college, aft erward student for several years at the Sorbonne and College de France, Paris.
 Miss Tarbell in Paris became famil- far with the French historical method, clear and exact, especially as to state ments of fact. Out of her own head she had already evolved the theory that on any subject whatsoever of a historical or biographical nature. all
  written down, however well the subject is known to the public. On that the- ory she built her Early Life of Abra- ham Lincoln" which made her fame month after month interviewing and collecting data from persons still live ing who had known Lincoln in his early days.
 College girls not a few have turned their faces away from Latin and Greek and entered various industrial occupa- tions, which they pursue all the more successfully because they are refined women. Two near Boston are conduct ing a scientific cookery restaurant ana prospecting uncommonly. Two others operate laundry, no doubt scientin- cally also, for it is succeeding accord ing to its owners desires. Other brave girls have left college halls and taken up homesteads and even operate mines on their own account. One young la dy finding all doors closed through which girl graduates usually enter on career, and having a real genius for designing and fitting dressmaking gar ments, boldly started dressmakins establishment and within a few years was rich.
 A vertically botanical expert is Miss Carrie Harrison of the agricultural de- partment. She was the one who or ganized the herbarium branch of that department. After graduating from Wellesley and Cornell, like so many other earnest students. she went to Europe and pursued her botanical in- vestigations. She selected and pur- chased. mostly in Europe, the foreign herbaria which are now in the gov ernment collection.

 Eberts, or Bill, as he was, known, was the owner of 8 farm out toward Allentown from Lynchpurg, in the Tur- tie Creek valley. as aice and rich piece of land as there was in all High land county. His father had left him the farm free of ineumbrance and 1t was well stocked, had good buildings, a comfortable farmhouse, and Eberts had contract with the distlllery in Lynchburg to care for a certain num- Der of cattle each year.
 He was engaged 70 marry Nettie Weiman, one of the prettiest young women in the Dodsonvilie district whose fSther was a wealthy farmer. and in the summer that ne first kicked 2 dog she had returned from Harcourt Place seminary at Gambler, O., where she was finishing her education.

 His sister, Molly, kept house for him on the Turtle Creek farm, with the aid of a housekeeper and a ser want and everything might have been well but for the fact that George Ta- tum, who was in love with Molly and afraid to tell her so. sent her a little white wooliy poodle.
 Ebefts did not like Tatum, although he said that Moliy's love affairs were her own lookout, and still less did he like the poodle that Tatum sent to Mol ly, but as she lavished a fund of affec- ton upon it and kissed its pink nose and talked baby talk to it Eberts mere ly sniffed with disgust and went out 10 pet his horses.
 The poodle remained ln the house several weeks. Then one night Eberts came home from Westboro, where he had been to look at a bunch of young steers, tired and disappointed over the deal and retired to his room. Half an hour later he was awakened by some thing warm licking his face and he made a vicious slap at it, cuffing the poodle of the bed and ordering it from the room. He fell asleep again and was awakened by the poodle whining Angry, he jumped out of bed and start. cd to hunt the poodle, which fled whining, around the room.

 Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re- eponsible for many kinds of diseases, and If permitted to continue much suf-s fertnx and fatal results are sure to follow. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves, makes you dizzy. restless, sleep less and irritable.

 The cure for these troubles is Dr.. Kilmer's swamp Root, the worid-fa- nous kidney remedy. Tn taking Swamp Root you afford natural help to Nature. for Swamp Root is the most perfect healer and gentle aid to the kid- neys that is known to medical science.
