Beautiful Land of AIsace.

This land of Alsace is in many re-
spects the most beautiful that | have
ever seen. Strung along the horizon,
like s%entinels wrapped in mantles of
green, the peaks of the Vosges loom
against the sky. On the slopes of the
ridges, massed in their black battal-
ions, stand forests of spruce and pine.
Through peaceful valleys silver
streams meander leisurely, and in the
meadows which border them cattle
stand knee deep amid the lush green
grass. The villages, their t%ortuous,
cohble paved streets, lined on either
side by dim arcades, and the old, old
houses, with their turrets and balco-
MES and steep pitched pottery roofs.
give you the feeling that they are not
real, but that they are scenery on a
stage, and this illusion is heightened
by the men in their jaunty berets and
wooden sabots, and the ome whose
huge black silk headdresses accentuate
the freshness of their compilations. 1t
is at once a region of ruggedness and
majesty and grandeur, of quaintness
and simplicity and charm.-F. Alex
ander Powell in Scribner's Magazine.

How to Ride.

In riding sit erect and don't SLOUGH
along. Don't try to be a cowboy If
you are not. We have the real simon
pure cowpunchers and broncho bus
tiers; also we have the tin horn variety
of the same species. Steer clear of
the latter; also be careful not to get
into this category yourself.
Remember that a horse is only flesh
and blood and not a machine. He gets
tired, hungry and thirsty, and for
goodness sake, treat him accordingly.
Because he is a lively horse and you
are paying his hire, treat him white
just the same. Remember that some
II else rode him yesterday. and an
other will probably do so tomorrow.
Give your horse the same kind of a
deal you yourself would demand if
you were in its place. Even a broncho
has feelings and will appreciate your
Notwithstanding.

Fire Versus Life Insurance.

OF the 100000 or so dwellings in
the United States 90 per cent are pro-
tected-at least to some eXtent-by
fire insurance. But of our 100, 100000
inhabitants only IS per cent have TAX
en- out life insurance policies. Men
seem to be more uneasy over the mere
possibility of the burning of their
houses than over the stern certainty
that death will some day overtake
them. This is a strange contradiction
In human nature. To safeguard the
nations material possessions is well,
but how much more valuable than the
homes are the human lives of the
country! In this age, when the prin-
ciples of life insurance. are so well
understood, there should be no such
discrepancy between the number of
homes and of lives insured. In many
instances the former could not be
saved from foreclosure were the earn
ers of incomes to pass away leaving
the families u%nprovided for. 1t is as
much the duty of every man to insure
his life as to insure his property, and
If he has no insurable property there
is all the more reason for ~insuring his
life.-Leslie's.

NIAGARA FALLS-A
WONDER OF THE AGE.

Not very many years since, it was
almost impossible for most people to
see the wonders of nature in differ
ent sections of the country, but, with
the coming of the Railroads, the fast,
safe and convenient trains, one of the
best uses of the Railroad is, to en-
able everybody to have the pleasure
of seeing the great Niagara Falls.
There is no better trip than the IA
nous ride over the Reading-Lehigh
Valley Route, through the "Switzer-
land of America, to Niagara Falls.
The special trains that are used owe
this route, with the conveniences af-
forded, make travelling an appropriate
prelude to seeing that great work of
nature.
To those who have seer Niagara
Falls, the awe-inspiring picture of
seeing a waterfall, 2900 feet in width,
descending a height of 1913 feet,
which on striking below is churned
into a snow-white mass, and spray,
causing a mist to rise in the form of
clouds, is a scene never to be forgot
ten. This is indeed, a beautiful and
wonderful sight.
This scene may now also be enjoy
ed at night, by the permanent illum-
ination of the American Falls and
Rapids above the Cataract. A tenn
porary system of Illuminating the
American Cataract, and Rapids above,
with powerful 1000-wat flament in
candescent lamps has been installed
and found to be very successful. A
battery of fifteen (15) of these lamps
has been located on Goat Island and
another battery of ten C0) lamps at
the foot of the American Falls, which
are turned on at dark every evening,
each battery playing on the Ameri-
can Cataract-the effect is marvel
Gus.
Plans are now being perfected to
install 500 similar lamps, about the
Falls and Rapids, which should be
completed shortly. This is a new fea-
ture at Niagara Falls and will prove
to be a great attraction.
In addition to the Falls, a no less
interesting spectacle is the madly
rushing water down the narrow and
rocky Niagara Gorge, a short distance
below the Falls. The water rushes
down this gorge with such violence
and rapidity that, upon striking one
of the many large rocks or bolders in
its path, it splashes from five to ten
feet in height, at the same time caus-
ing an endless roar of rushing and
splashing water. This by some is call
ed the fighting water.

Janan,s DRAGON Lamps.

Japan abounds with sacred places
Shintoist and Buddhist-formerly re-
puted for the appearances of the so
called dragons lamp" This is a mys-
ferrous light that comes out of a pond,
lake or sea and alights on a certain
tree, mostly on a certain night. 1t was
held that the light was dedicated by
a dragon dwelling in the water to a
god whose shrine stood near the trees.
For example, the famous Ryuto of the
temple of Avalokitesvara IN Nagusa
hill, province of Xii, made its annual
ascent from the sea to a pine tree in
the precincts every ninth night of the
seventh moon. At the midnight of the
10th of every month a Ryuto came
from the northeast ofing to the SO
called dragons lamp pine" near the
shrine Of Mandjusri at Kiredo, prov
ince of Tango, whereas on the same
tree another light, named Celestial
lamp" made it's descent from the heav-
ans every sixteenth night of the first,
fifth and ninth NOTWITHSTANDING.

SOCIETY GIRLS
TO BE AT KEITHS.
Gus Edwards Will Use Them In His
New Song Fest With Charming
Effect.

Several Of the most popular of the
younger set of Atlantic City are to
shortly make their stage debut at
Keith's. Their engagement is not for
a run" but if looks and style and
singing voices have anything to do
with it the stage will be the loser
when their engagement closes. In
Mr.. Edwards new Song Fest he uses
a number entitled "Brunettes or
Blondes" and it is in this number that
the young society leaders will appear.
They are very enthusiastic over the
idea and promise to make Edwards
bouquet of beauties look well to their
%laurels. The act which Gus Edwards
is presenting this week is his latest
offering to vaudeville and it is by far
the best. While his company is not so
large as in past years there is the
quality there to make up for excess
quantity.
Besides the big Edwards musical
offering there is on this weeks bill
one of the prettiest of japanese COM
edies ever staged. Miss Valerie Ber-
gere with her company is presenting
the Japanese comedy Little Cherry
Blossom, which with its American
trimmings affords twenty minutes of
pleasant entertainment.
Still another feature this week is
Williams & Wolfus in their eccentric
piano comedy, "Hark, Hank, Hank"
AS a droll entertainer Mr.. Williams is
in a class by himself. With Pilcer
and Douglas, Miss Pilcer is a sister
of Harry Pilcer; Tallman, the worlds
champion pool player, and Huling's
Clown Seal and pictures of recent
news events this weeks show is doing
a record weeks business.
