I saw Niagara falls on Thursday for tha
first time. Tbe sight is one long to be re
membered. I did not goto tho foils, but
viewed thorn from the car window in all
their might, majesty, power and dominion
forever.
Niagara falls plunges from « huge eleva
tion by reason of its inability to remain on
the Sharp edge of e precipice several feet
higher than the point to which tbe falls are
now falling. This causes a noise to make its
appearance, and n thick mist, composed of
minute particles of wetness, rises to its full
height and coma down again afterward.

ent it is to be a cataract like that and have
people come in great crowds to me end bear
youl How much better that is than to be a
lecturer, for instana, and have to follow
people to their humain order to attract their
attention !
Many people in the United States end
Canada, who wore ona aa pure aa the beau

tract the attention that Niagara doe*.
The officer said that I had nothing in my

that 1 would need heavier underwear ta

Toronto is a stirriug city of 150,000 people,

I only regretted that I could not stay there a
lung time.
I met » man in Cleveland, O., whose n.m.
was Macdonald. Hawes at the Weddell
house^nnd talked freely with me about our
country, «king me a great many questions
about myself, and where I lived and how I
woe prospering. While we were talking at
one time he sew something in the paper
which interested him and called him away
After he had gone I noticed the paragraph

• wan named Macdonald who had recently
«■rived in town from New York, and who
WAS introducing a new line of green goods.
I havo often wondered what there is about
my general appearance which seems to draw
about me n cluster of green goods men wher
everlgo. Is it the odor of new mown hay
or tho frank, open way ta which I seem to
measure the height of th* loftiest buildings
with my eye as I penetrate the busy »...TS
of men and throng th* crowded marts of
trade! Or do strangers suspect me of b»W
» man of me&nsf
In Cleveland I was rather indisposed,
owing to tbe fact that I hod been sitting up
until 2 or 8 o'clock a. m. for several nighu
in order to misa early traira. I went to a
physician, who said I wee suffering from
some new nod attractive disease, which be
could cope with ta a day or two. I told him
to cope. He prescribed a large «2-calibra
capsule, which he seid contained medical
properties. It might have contained the
atrical properties and still hod room left for
» baby grand pinn/x I do not know why the
capsule should bo so popular. I would rather
swallow n porcelain egg or a live tnrtle.
Doctors clainmthat it is to prevent the bad
taste of the medicines, bat I have never yet
participated in any medicine which iras
more disagreeable than the gluey shell of an
adult capsule, which looks like an overgrown
bott and tastes like a rancid nightmare.
I doubt the good taste of any one who will
turn up his nose at castor oil or quinine end
yet meekly swallow a crysalis with varnish
on the outside. ~
Everywhere I go I find people who seem
pleased with tha manner in which I have suc
ceeded in resembling the graphic pictures
made to represent ma in the newspapers. I
con truly say that I am not a vain man, but
it is certainly pleasing and gratifying to be
greeted by a glance of recognition and a yell
of genuine delight from total strängen.
Many have seemed to suppose that the —

"My child's moral development began

brought me up, a dear old lody by whom I
was petted to the last degree. I distinctly

crisis in my experience. I felt intuitively
that if I could succeed in getting ray

My inference proved a correct one, and from
that time on my poor grandmother resigned
berseif to bear my ugliness ns best she might,
making very little further attempt to con

elder than I was at that time, with the same

to believe she Inherited directly from me. I
declare I sometimes feel m if I couldn't justly
blame the child."
"How," asks Emerson, "shall a man escape
from his ancestor», or drew off from his
veins the black drop which he drew from his
father's or his mother's Ufel His parentage
determines it. Men ora what their mother*

Is," truly, "father to the man," and there is
no more beginning of education than there is

thing has conspired from the commencement
of time to make us what ween. Tennyson's
"infant crying in the night, and with
languago but a cry," may prove to be the
governing power and influence of uncounted
future lives. Every Impulse of Wordsworth's
"growing boy" may show its results in the
characters of his children to the third and
fourth generation. It is only as we look rel

any limit or definition, and the first question

where property of considerable value was so

Many a model husband and father, whose

ide occasion to blame himself for neglect if
he would consider for n moment in what
confusion his faunily would be placed if this

the mother, be held responsible for th* prep

■laying the Festive Cockroach.
"Everything is in knowing how, you

the city hall. "If everybody knew os much'
about cockroaches as I do the vermin would
soon become extinct They were the pest of
my life when I was in the restaurant business
several years ago. Thera was nothing that
disturbed my peace of mind like the sight of
a cockroach walking leisurely across the
table in plain view of my customers. I
bought insect powder by the quart and tried
every means I oould deyise or hear of to get
them out of my house, but everything
dismal failure until, finally, an accident hap
pened which gave me the information for
which I had been squandering money
lessly.
"One night some one happened to leave a
cake box—one of those japanned tin affairs—
standing open. Next morning about a pint
of cockroaches were found in tbe box. They
had been able to climb the outer surface and
get Inside, but the interior surface was too
smooth for them to scale and they were
railed. Well, that put an idea in my head.
I went to work next evening and steamed
some cake so that the insects could smell it
a long distance, and put it in the box. Next
morning 1 hod about half a peck of the ver

vegetables, os onions, boil nearly tastel

the juice of meat to make a broth or soup,
soft water, unsalted and cold at first, is bast,

RUSSIA'S INFERIORITY.
But Russian general* know not the value
of their men. Many of them learned ths
practice of the art of war ta Bulgaria. All
are educated officers, bold and brave. Their
officeis are confident, and Inspire oonfidenoe,
and yet it must be admitted that neither
Russian generals, nor Russian offloen, nor
the Russian staff possess the same cohesion,
the same science or the some experience ae
those- of Germany. And sup|iosiug them to
ho their equals, mpiiosiiig an analogous unity
of command, there would still ulways exist a
double inferiority—that arising from de
fective administration and defective or in
sufficient means of concentration. This last
point, given a general European war, is of
capital inqsirtunce, especially for Russia's
eventual allies.
In Franco and in Germany the time neces
sary for the mobilization of 1,1X10,(100 of men
cun he estimated to within four and twenty
horn's. In Russia that time is the unknown
quantity of the redoubtable problem, and
without that unknown quantity it is impos
sible to calculate the real value of Russian
co-operation. How many days may be re
quired or how many weeks or even months;
how many hundred thousand soldiers can
be mustered in the first line, how many in
tho second, bow many in reserve, nobody can
auswor, for nobody knows how to answer,
ami only one thing is absolutely certain, and
this the Russian newspa]ieni confess, Rus
sia's mobilization must be incomparably and
vastly slower than that of either of her
neighbors. Nor could it be otherwise, with
distance infinitely greater, with railways
less numerous, less well appointed and man
aged. of which the majority have only n
single track, and very few have special plat
forms for the embarkation and landing of
horses, troops and material. These disad
vantages cannot be contested, and they alone
are sufficient to explain why, in provision of
events, the Imperial government should have
taken those precautions along the frontiers
which have so exercised the susceptibilities
of Austria-Hungary.
This undeniable inferiority of Russia is
especially dangerous to her future allies. At
home Russia is safe; she may be invaded, as
she was by Charles VII and by Napoloon,
but Russia's invaders generally fare badly,
and to get out of her vast territory is easier
than to get into It, and what would be tho
fate of a western ally not ]>rudent euough to
adjourn its action until Russian mobilisa
tion be entirely completed/ True. Russia's
enemies will scarcely allow her allies to select
their moment.

TUX RISKS NOT EQUAL.
In a Franco-Kussian alliance the risks are
not equally shared by both powers. Russia
can bide her time, but France must bear all
the brunt from tho outset. The gain of tho
flint battle would bring tho Germans into the
heart of Champagne; with a second victory
they might surge on to Paris, while the north
ern colossus would scarcely feel tbe blows
received by her provinces at Lithuohia,
Esthonia and Poland. Every invasion of
Russia has always ended in disaster to the
enemy ; every invasion of France has been
successful. Perhaps railways may have de
prived Russia of that invulnerability which
Vus secured to her in former days by dis
iucos, and, perhaps, with a railroad at his
u might not have been
» Moscow. But there is
unetliing about Russia which cannot be
cized u/sin. Bhe is, as one might say, a
qiecies of inorganic being without either
heart or head at which a fatal Mow could bo
dealt. Nlie is not possessed ot one capital of
which the capture would conquer a peace,
and with her climate canq>aigns cannot be
indefinitely prolonged. Nujqiosing the exar's
armies to bo always defeated, the victor
would be troubled in gleaning the fruits of
his triumphs. And to what point must
enemy advance before be can force Russia
to ask for terms! Russia has a power of re
sistance resulting from her sise and from her
structure, but this power of rwistaaoe can
not be communicated to her allias. Tho
czar may continue his struggle on the bunks
ot the Don and the Volga for months after
any western ally haa been obliged to cry
enough.
Npite ot her millions of soldiers, Russia's
strength is, above all, defensive. Her ad
