The Iguazu Waterfalls In South Amer? ica Leap 213 Feet. Larger than Niagara is the cataract of the Iguazu falls, almost at the in? tersection of the three frontiers of Paraguay, Brazil and the Argentina Republic. The river takes its name from a Spanish word meaning great waters. About twelve miles from its mouth the bed drops suddenly down a rocky ' perpendicular cliff some 213 feet high, 1 hence there is a watearfall of that | great height. At this spot a delight? ful little island, beautiful with vegeta? tion, divides the river into two arius so that the total width is about two miles and a half. The Brazilian arm ot the river forms a tremendous horse? shoe here and plunges into a great chasm with a deafening roar, while the arm on the Argentine side spreads out in a sort of amphitheatre form and finishes with one grand leap a little over L'2y feet. Below the island the two arms unite end How on Into the Barana River. Prom the Brazilian hank the specta? tor, at a height of ISO feet, faxes out I over two and a half miles of some of the wildest and most fantastic water nerf he can ever hope to see. Waters stream, seethe, leap, bound, froth and foam, "throwing the sweat ol 'heir agony high in the air and writhing, twisting, screaming and nmg. bear off to the Parana." In- I der the blue vault of the sky this see I of foam, of pearls, of irideact nt dust bailies the great background in a shower of beauty that all the mi adds to the riot of tropical Sues :? dy there. When a high wind is blowing the roar of the cataract <au be heard nearly twenty miles sway, A rough estimate of the horse ; represented by the falls is u.?' Pew sightseers e\i r catch a glimpse of the great Iguazu falls, it takes six days to make the picturesque J journey of about 1,250 miles from ! Buenos Ayres amid the fair fertile plains of Santa Fe ar.d the savage luxuriance of the Virgin forest, D* ing through the territory of the D sions and the ruins of Jesuit churches and convents. How to Get Rid of Rats. The best way to exclude rats from buildings is by using ? in con? struction. ALI kind.- of sti icturei ere now being made wholly of concrete. Foundations of dwellings may made rat-proof by its use. The ? ellar walls should have concrete footing and the walls should be laid in ce t mortar. The cellar Moor should Of concrete and all water and drain pines should be surrounded with it. liven cellars of the old-fashioned kind may be made rat-proof with < ement st small cost Rat holes may be closed with a mixture of cement, sand, and broken glass or sharp stones. A lib? eral use of concrete in the Moors es granaries and poultry hom rat-proof. Rats may also he kept out of corn cribs by means of an inner or , outer covering of One-mess sire netr Ung. If the custom is followed ol ting corn cribs on poets With inver .1 pans at the top, the posts should pro? ject at least three feet above the mound. Among the animals that I :ul in destroying rodents are the fox. skunk, weasel, and the la;, i ies of owls and hawks. Rats de y more poultry and game than all M wild animals COmbiSM d. and . efore it would be wiser for the ruiner to protect these rat killers than to seek to exterminate them. re is more truth than Int ion ia old saying that an ounce of pre? vention is worth a-pound of cure. Weather Signs. Rapid changes in the barometer in? dicate early and marked changes in the weather. A red sun means rain. A piece of seaweed hung up will he come damp previous to rain. (louds flying against the wind in? dicate rain. When the leaves of trees curl with the wind from the south, rain is ap? proaching. Red hair curls at the approach of rm, and straightens after lt. Men work harder, eat more, and more soundly when the baro? meter is high than when it is low. When the perfume of growing How? ers ls unusually strong, rain may be expecteu. American Nervousness. "Why are we a nervous generation? It is because we live in an environ? ment of nervous irritation. We are < onstantly drenched in emotion," said i Hirsch of Chicago. "We worry, ?.'. orry, worry lest we shall lose some Hung we prize, or fail in our under? takings. Passion, fear, greed and en? vy throw our minds and nerves out of balance and diminish the power of OUT organism to resist the microbes that constantly assailing it It has Seen scientiflcticaly demonstrated that rorry causes a predisposition to dis? ease." Our Bett Two Words. The friends the foreigner had made during his visit in New York were sad si his departure. They sat about a table at a cafe he had frequent il, lug of him. "Good sort," they said. "Awfully sorry he's gone. Of course, he could not talk tn our language, but he knew enough of lt to make him interesting Two words, 'Have another.'" All the Letters. The following is the shortest sen fence, says Home Notes, contaiuin all the letters ot the alphabet: "Pack my boa with five doxen liquoi Jugs." Sorrows of Childhood. "By George," said the expatriate unnaturalness of living in ar apartment never struck me so forcibly as when last night my two kids lal<3 their letters to 8anta Claus on the tor, of the steam radiator and went off tc bed trying to figure how Santa Clam could come down the steam pipes anc up through the colls. 1 went out tc buy a cigar before they could ask me $. Poor little kids, no stockings hung bj ' the chimney for them." "S LONG VIGIL AT LIGHT. Miss Hecox Has Tended a Pacific Coast Beacon for 27 Years. Miss Laura A. H. cox, who for twen? ty -seven years has tended the light of the Santa CTUS lighthouse, has but recently returned to her post from | the last of tiie six vacations she baa taken during that period.

That the scoffers and irossqncs* tioners of the Suffragettes often confusion upon their own beads was well illustrated at a recent meet in u at which Mrs. Herrmann Wells was de? livering an address.
