Ever hear of the Falls of 1guazu?
They have not been very generally ad-
vertised, for they lie somewhat out
OF the beaten path Of travel, but to
those nature loving and adventurous
spirits who have taken the time and
the trouble to visit the more remote
sections of the South American interior
this wonderful and beautiful work of
nature has been known for many years,

article descriptive of this South Ameri-

'Ruenos Aires. Argentina's dazzling
metropolis, is the starting point for

the journey from Buenos Aires to the
falls was made altogether by river

the round trip. The journey can now

In Jesuit records of over so years
ago, we find the first authentic &C
count of the Falls of the Iguazu, After
the expulsion of the Jesuits the falls
reverted to oblivion, and 1t is only In
the present century that they are be-
coming known. Each year travellers
are attracted here in greater numbers,
and within your lifetime and mine
lguazu will come into It's own.

How She Counted Success.

After Jenny Lind had left the stage
for no apparent reason, friend who
went to see her found her sitting by
the sea, with an open Bible upon her
knee, looking out on the sunset glory.
During the conversation the friend
said: Madame Goldschmidt, how Is
1t that you ever came to abandon the
stage at the very height Of your sue
cess, when money and affluence we're
pouring in upon you?" Laying one
hand upon the Bible, and pointing
with the other to the sunset, she
quietly said: when my success was
making me every day think less OF this
dear book, and nothing at all Of the
sunsets glories, what else could |
do?" "The Swedish Nightingale"
counted her success by losses instead
Of gains. This difference Is always
seen between the wording and the
Christian. -Record Of Christian Work.
