A Maid Of Honor In Fact.

The late Lady Bloomfield was a
maid of honor and published book
'of "reminiscences relating some very
intimate incidents of her years at
court. The result. the London CORE.
spondent Of the Manchester Guardian
tells, was that the queen forbade her
ladies to keep diaries while they were
in waiting. and from that rule grew
one of the neatest repartees that the
heart of the professional diarist could
desire. A young lady who had just
been appointed maid of honor was
receiving congratulations at a party,
and her host said: What an inter
esting journal you can keepl" The
girl told him that journal keeping was
forbidden. and the answer was: "But
think ! should keep one all the
same" "Then," said the girl, what.
ever you were you would not be a

Better hug the shores a while, than get

It's safer in the by-ways than along

Where you're jostled an you're hustled
by ever one you meet.
Mebbe life's to hustle, jes' to always race

But there's better things for nothin' that

FEAR FOR NIAGARA

Niagara Falls, August Tine
volume of water being diverted
from the historic Niagara Falls is
reaching such proportions that the
people of the State are trying to pass
laws which will prevent the possibii-
ity of practical wiping out OF TINS
sublime natural spectacle.
Water SUFFICIENT to develop nearly
five hundred thousand horsepower
continuously, twenty-four hours per
day, for industrial purposes, Is now
being taken from the river above the
Falls, and further developments re-
curing more water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user Of the
electricity produced by the waters OF
the mighty river is the concern which
by the FIVE or six thousand degree
heat of the electric furnace brings
lime and coke into unwilling union,
thereby producing what is known as
Calcium Carbide.
Dry calcium carbide is lifeless as
so much broken rock, but in contact
with water it springs into activity and
begets abundantly the gas Acetylene.
The light resulting from the ignition
of acetylene is the nearest approach
to sunlight known.
These facts, though of compare
lively recent discovery, were soon
seized by men with an eye to the COM
mercial possibilities and to-day cal
cium carbide is being shipped every
where and used for dlspelling dark
ness in buildings of all descriptions,
from the ordinary barn of the farmer
to the country villa Of the wealthy, as
well as for lighting the streets of a
LARGE number of towns Acetylene

and the manufacture and sale Of
acetylene generators has become a
business of recognized standing, has
assumed large proportions and is
