Niaaara Falls.


So far as our present knowledge
goes, the earliest printed reference to
Niagara falls Is in the record Of a
voyage by the celebrated Jacques Car
tier in 1886. Its position vas frst
mentioned by Champlain in a map at
tached to his voyages, published in
1913. The earliest description Of the
falls is that Of Father Hennepin, who
visited them in 1878. His account was
published with a sketch giving a full
view Of the cataract. The name "Ni-
agara" means thunder Of waters"
and was given it by the Indians. Opin-
ions differ as to the age Of the falls.

Hold BY Etiquette.

Held BY Etiquette.
When Dom Pedro, then emperor Of
Brazil. was entertained at the White
House he had been told by a confused
senator that 1t would be expected that
he. the emperor, should be the last of
the guests to depart.
The presidents wife, however, In
formed her other guests that they
would be expected to follow, not pre-
cede. the royal party in leaving the
house.
The result was that no one dared
to go for fear Of breach Of etiquette,
but at 3 o'clock in the morning a tired
woman pretended illness. and the dead
lock was broken.
Great is etiquette, but common sense
Is sometimes allowable.

Browning.

Browning lent Lord Coleridge one Of
his works to read, and afterward, meet
ing the poet, the lord CHIEF justice said
to him: what l could understand l
heartily admired. and parts ought to
be immortal. But as to much Of It l
really could not tell whether I admired
it or not, because for the life Of me I
could not understand it"
Browning replied, If a reader Of
your caliber understands 10 per cent
Of what I write I think I ought to be
content"

cornmeaI at the Toilet.

But few people realize the great
value Of common cornmeal as a toilet
essential. Dampen a handful Of corn
meal placed in the wash basin and rub
the hands thoroughly with it for ten
or fifteen minutes and see how It re-
moves all dirt and smooths the rough
and chapped skin. especially about the
knuckles and base Of the nails. It
will not injure in the least the most
delicate skin, and IL used on white
hands or the face the skin will take on
a new life and appear pure and fresh.

In Every Drop Of Water.

In every drop of water we drink and
in every mouthful Of air we breathe
there is a movement and collision Of
particles 10 rapid in every second Of
time that it can only be expressed by
four with nineteen naughts. If the
movement of these particles were at

their impact were translated into. heat

But the heat as we'll as the particle

ties on their part. The United States
might not be in position to object
to them If it's interests and the in
terests Of all members were unaffected
by them, but, being affected, it cam
not with complacence suffer further
subordination of it's rights and in
terests to the plea that the eXcep-
tional geographic position of the enc
mics of Great Britain require or just
ify oppressive and illegal practices.
The government of the United
States desires, therefore, to impress
most earnestly upon his majesty's
government that it must insist that
the relations between it and his ma
jesty's government be governed, not
by a policy of eXpediency, but by
those established rules Of information
al conduct upon which Great Britain
in the past has held the United States
to account when the latter nation
was belligerent engaged in a strug-
gle for national existence. 1t Is Of the
highest Importance to neutrals not
only of the present day but Of the
future that the principles Of inter-
national right be maintained unim-
paired.
This task of championing the in
tegrity Of neutral rights, which have
received the sanction Of the civilized
world against the lawless conduct Of
belligerent arising out of the bitter
ness of the great conflict which is
now wasting the countries of Europe,
the United States unhesitatingly as
sumes, and to the accomplishment Of
that task it will devote it's energies,
exercising always that impartiality
which from the outbreak Of the war
1t has sought to exercise in its rela-
tions with the warning nations"
The note is dated October 81, and
acknowledges the notes Of the British
government dated January Z, February
10, June %, July %, July 81, (two),
August 13, and a note verbal Of the
British embassy Of August 6, all OF
which relate to restrictions upon
American commerce. The United
States says at the outset that 1t has
delayed answering these notes In the
hope that the announced purpose OF
Great Britain ito exercise their bel
ligerent right with every possible con-
sideration for the interests Of neutrals,"
and Of causing "the least possible
amount Of inconvenience to persons
engaged in legitimate trade" would
in practice not unjustifiably infringe
upon the neutral rights Of American
citizens.
1T is therefore a matter Of regret"
says the note, that this hope has not
been realized, but that on the contrary,
interferences with American ships and
cargoes destined in good faith to neu-
trail ports and lawfully entitled to pro-
ceed have become increasingly vexa-
tions, causing American ship-owners
and American merchants to complain
to this government Of the failure to
take stems to prevent an exercise of
belligerent power in contravention Of
their just rights. AS the measures
complained of proceed directly from
orders issued by the British govern
ment, are executed by British au-
thorities, and arouse a reasonable ap-
prehension that, if not resisted, they
may be carried to an extent even more
injurious to American interests, this
government directs the attention Of his
majesty's government to the follow
ing considerations"

Look Before You Leap

DURING the past six or eight
years I have frequently heard the
statement made that people had learn
ed a great deal more about Life IN
surance than they used to know, and
that the Individual who had made up
his mind to insure his life was pretty
apt to Look Before He Leaped. My
observation Is that some" people
have learned that all legal reserve or
So called "old line" companies. ARE
NOT about the same" They have
learned that all of them DO NOT treat
all Of their members in the same way.
and that all have not records extend
ing over a long series Of years Of a
Square Deal to each policy holder,
whether he knew what was his dues
under his contract or not-such rec
ord, for instance, as the Mutual Bene-
fit HAS. 1t is a fact that the average
buyer of Life Insurance buys from an
Agent who "goes after him." regard
less of what company the Agent rep
resents, or the nature Of the contract
he sells. Comparatively few seem to
understand that while there is little
difference in the net cost Of insurance
in any Of the old, established, legal re-
serve companies, there is vast differ
ence in the Contracts. In view Of the
insurance Pays the freight" it would
seem to be only common, business
sense for him to "Look Before He
Leaps" even though his own brother
was the Agent who first caused him to
become interested in life insurance.

over the United States as being In a
