Young May was fond of the sport and Indulged a little more than was good for him. A few mouths ago he was taken 111, and It was with considerable difficulty that he was able to walk. Physicians were called In and the best medical treatment admin istered. The case grew worse, und a few days ago It was thought best to perform an operation. Drs.

NIAGARA'S ItlVA!,. necessary so to construct the dam that the floating Ice will not Interfere with the regular operation of the plant. The work was begun by the construc tion of an artificial canal along the north shoie of the St. Lawrence liver, above the Lachlne Rapids, and about five miles from Montreal. The inuln dum of the work, running out from the shore, consists of a series of Isolated piers of masonry und concrete, and Is constructed about 3,500 feet down the river from the Ice fenders. These piers are made to form the Humes to take the turbine wheels and shafting, which generate and deliver the power. The sixty turbines will operate under a head of twelve feet, and will develop 200 horse power each, making a total of 12,000 horse power, till the year 'round. There are three power houses. In which will be located the electric generators, four In each power house, each of about 1,000 horse power. These generators are coupled to a jack shaft, and six of the turbines are connected to this shaft with bevel. cone gears, thus transmitting to each generator the power of six turbines, or 1,200 horse power. The building extends the full length of the main dam, and Is 42 feet wide, 'excepting at the power house, where it Is 00 feet. The original leu o'f the company was to generate the power merely and dispose of It on the jack shaft, und to lay out a large poi tlon of the adjoining grounds into fac tory sites. Recently, however. It was decided to bring the power Into Mon treal und dispose of It there. In addition to the great development of water power the Luchlne Hydraulic and Land company has decided to lay out Its property adjoining the work in the form of a model town. The prop erty will be divided into building lots, drained, graded, supplied with water, electric lighting and electric heating, besides having Its own electric railway to Montreal. l$ i.'.W--s--t.'7.

Abraham Lincoln wan fond of a good stoi, and it Is a well-known fact that he often Illustrated all important point In the business at hnnil by resorting to ills favorite pastime. Probably one of the best he ever told he related of him self when he wan a lawyer in Illinois. One day Lincoln und a certain judye, who was an intimate friend of his, were banterlnutc each other about houses, a favorite topic of theirs Finally Lincoln said: "Well, look here, judge, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll mnke a horse tra'de with you, only It must be upon these stipulations: Neither party shall see the other's hoise until It is produced here in the courtyard of the hotel, and both parties inilbt trade horses. If eith er pr.rty backs out of the agreement he does yo under a forfeiture of $2,"," . "Agreed," cried the jtnlue, and both he and Lincoln went in quest of their respective animals. .A crowd Rathered, anticipating some fun, und when the Judge returned Una the lauiih wih uproarious. He led, or rather dragged, at the end of a halter the ineanlest, boniest, rib-staring; quad ruped, blind In hot n eyes that ever pressed turf. But presently Lincoln came along carrying over his shoulder a carpenter's horse. Then the mirth of the crowd was furious. Lincoln sol emnly set his horse down, and silently surveyed the judge';, nnlmal with a comical looh of Infinite disgust. " ell, judsie," he finally said, "this Is the Hi st line I ever got the worst of It in a horse trade."
