SCENE OF NATURAL BEAUTY
Setting Of Montmorency Falls Near
Quebec Resembles the Imaginative
Conception Of an Artist.

The impresSiveness of any bit Of
scenery depends not on how large
1t looks. Thus there are few persons
who would estimate the width Of the
Grand canyon at more than tenth
of what it actually is. Niagara falls.
when seen at a distance. Is not i'm
presSive, and when you are close to
it you cannot get complete view.
1t is for this reason that many Of
the smaller bits of scenery really give
more pleasure to persons who have an
eye for natural beauty. MOntmOrenCy
falls. on the river of that name few
miles from Quebec, Is an excellent ex-
ample of this fact. 1t consists of a
stream about 40 feet wide dropping
somewhat more than 200 feet over
sheer cliff Just above the juncture Of
the MOntmOrency and the st. Law
renee. This cliff forms part Of n high
amphitheater of rock, its jagged out
lines crowned by forest Of Juniper
and spruce, and opening upon the wide
blue eXpanse of the st. Lawrence.
Above the falls the stream is known
as the Fairy river because Of the weird
beauty of its dark waters, which wind
between sheer granite walls festOOned
with very old, gnarled trees. 1t seems
more like some artists imaginative
conception than a work of nature.

ifteen feet at dawn. Although the
situation required watchfulness and
was somewhat alarming, It was not
desperate. The men were advised to
put in all the time in their hunks so
as to be good and ready for the hard
battle which might come in the morn
ing, and as they were all tired out
with their days work the little group
soon broke up and each man went to
his quarters.
Vandeventer, however, could not
sleep. The rain kept up steadily all
night. The resident engineer finally
got up and dressed himself, and pro-
tected by high rubber boots and
cowboy slicker and a sou'wester, left
his quarters and went out to inspect
the dam. He carried lantern, of
course, for 1t was pitch dark and, II
possible, the rain dropping from the
black sky made it more difficult to see.
He was surprised when he got to the
dam to see on the other side another
lantern. Closing the slide of his own
lantern to prevent observation, and be-
ing on familiar ground, he went
straight toward the other side. The
noise of the rain subdued any sound
that he made, and he was able to come
quite close to the other light without
being noticed.

"Take the Step."

A story is told of rivival held in a
town not Il thousand miles from the
national capital. A man of mark in
the place for many years and for ever
so long q vestryman in one of the old
est of the churches was interested in
the work of the evangelist and attend
ed the services. He was impressed
by the earnestness of the preacher and
his good faith. One night when the
mourners were called this godly men,
for years the pattern of high SeGti-
ment and correct conduct In his
church, was shocked into almost viO-
lent speech, when he was approached
by a converted bartender and urged {:
"ColOnel-take the\ step!" The very
idea was revolving to his sense OF
propriety, as for quarter of cen.
tury he had been living in the beauty
of holiness, and he could hardly have
been blamed for feeling just bit
embarrassed by the plea of the con-
verted barkeeper.-

Hot Shot for Daddy

Jane had been much interested in the
preparations her young aunt had been
making all week for the big charity
ball. She asked her father so many
questions about this affair that at last
he said they would play they were go
ing to the ball. Jane was all excite
ment while mother dressed her for the
ball. Then she was whlrled off in the
auto, of which daddy WAS
the chauffeur, to the make-believe ball
room. They had regular ball. James
car was called, she tripped out as big
as you please, climbed up IN the big
arm chair, and nestled down among
the cushions for the ride home. "All
right, baby; it's sleepy time now; come
and kiss daddy good night" said her
father, and to his great surprise the
little lady threw her head up and said
"Huh, ladies don't kiss their chauf-
feurs good night" Daddy was
Squelched.

To Keep Tab on Housewives.

Housewives in the canton of Basel
City are in fever of excitement, ac-
cording to Lausanne dispatch to the
European edition Of the New York
Herald. The edict has gone forth that
gendarmes in that canton can enter
any private house on the meatless
days, Tuesday and Friday, and inspect
what is cooking in the "marmite" One
can imagine the welcome a gendarme
will receive from a German-Swiss
"frau" as he crosses the threshold Of
her kitchen.
There has been a perfect storm Of
abuse over it in the grand COnseIl Of
Basel-Ville, but the vote was Is against
l6. Cooking meat on Tuesday and
Friday is punishable by fines up to
1000 francs, and one months impriS-
onment.

Alexandria.

There are few cities that can look
back to past like that of Alexandria,
and fewer still with such past that
can contrive to keep up with the times
and look forward to the future. The
relics of 25 dead centuries Of Alex
andrian history have to be looked for
in the guide books. In the city itself
they are covered up by the latest mod
ern improvements. A few erudite
Alexandrians may argue about the real
nationality of Cleopatra, but most Of
them are talking about the price Of
cotton and the latest project for dredg-
ing the harbOr.

Marion would lose the ring, said: |:

"Well, don't like to be mean. When
