The discussion of the power question i has arrived at that stage where the city council might very well open up negotiations with other municipalities with the object of discovering whether the oo3t to each of electric energy might not be greatly lessened by the co-operation of all In a comprehensive project. The board of trado of Niagara Falls asks that the city engineer Investigate thclr proposal for tho generation of power from the Whirlpool rapids, claiming that tin unlimited quantity can bo obtained at $12 per horse power, Hamilton Is negotiating for cheap elec tric energy, and all over the country between Toronto and tho falls electric railways nre springing up.whlch would bo greatly benefited by power at the lowest posslbje price. There are two routes by which Nlagnra power may be brought to Toronto; the first and most direct by cablo across the lake; tho second, by overhead wire around tho end of the lake, passing en route Hamilton, Oakvillo and other places where power could be largely used. The second route would Involve twice the mileage of the first mentioned, and would doubtless be very much more costly at the outset, but it would bo lew liable to disturbance and break down than the cable, which' would, of course, become useless tho moment tin insulation was penetrated at any one spot. The question of routes and of comparative economy is one for ex perts, however, and should 'be referred to them for a comprehensive report.

TRIUMPH OP LOVE IN ART. A Story of How Love Produced n Masterpiece. From the Humanitarian. A century since, in the north ot Europe, stood an old cathedral, upon one of the arches of which was a sculp tured face of wondious beauty. It was long hidden, until one day, tho sun's light, striking through a slanted win dow, revealed Its matchles features. And ever after, year by year, upon tho days when for a brief hour It was thus Illuminated, crowds came and waited eagerly to catch but a glimpse of that face. It had a strange history. When the cathedral was being built an old man, broken with the weight of years and cares, came and besought the ar chitect to let hlmi work upon it. Out of pity for his age, but fearful lest his falling sight and trembling touch might mar some fair design, the mas ter set him to work in the shadows ot the vaulted roof. One day they found tho old man asleep In death, the tools of his craft laid in order beside him, the cunning of his right hand gone, his face up turned to this other marvelous face which he had wrought there the face of one whom he had loved and lost in his early manhood. And when the ar tists and sculptors and woikmcn from all parts of the cathedral came and looked upon that face they said: "This Is the grandest work of all; love wrought this!" ymmvr OR January 13 th we should have been compelled to announce the closing of the Wanamaker History Club, as the club limit had been reached.

From nn Iuconnldrrnhln European Nation In 1870 It litis Advanced to Ono nl tlm I'lrst Magnitude. From tho Philadelphia North American. Nothing Is more remarkable in the history of Europe during tho last quar ter of a century than tho financial, commercial and Industrial develop ment of Germany. In 1870, when the war with Franco broke out, Germany was a relatively poor country, whoso population of some forty million per sons wns chlelly engaged In agricul tural pursuits, nnd of whose Inconsid erable exportatlons foodstuffs formed by far tho largest proportion. The fruits of Its enormous triumph over France gave it tho Impetus which started It upon tho path of progress and prosperity, which it has since fol lowed with such an astonishing meas ure of success. When, in May, 1871, the treaty of peace between Franco nnd Germany wns consummated nt Ver sailles, Franco became bound to pay to tho Berlin government a war in demnity of $1,000,000,000 In gold. Princo Bismarck's supposition had been that France would not be able for a long time to raise so large a sum, and that In doing so her financial re sources would be so thoroughly ex hausted as to reduco her to a condition of national impotence. His intention, as expressed in his own language, had been to bleed tho conquered country to the white, and he thought ho was do ing It. But he had underestimated the capacity of the peasant stocking. Tho indemnity wus paid with an ease and promptitude which amazed tho world, and with the treasure thus acquired Germany started upon the new career which since then has carried her so far. With tho French milliards in its treasury tho government wns able to carry out Its long-cherished purpose for the leformatlo'n of the currency. The silver thaler as tho unit of value was abandoned, the gold standard was established, and the first step toward a period of prosperous growth which scarcely has a parallel In the history of nations had been taken. Only our own experience during the decade of 1SS0-1S90 can be compared to tho experience ot Germany since the close of the war with France. Within that time tho German population has Increased from 40,000,000 to 62,000,000, an astonishing growth when it is re membered that it has taken place In spite ot an enormous emigration which the authorities havo vainly sought to check; whllo tho expansion of indus trial and commercial activity is shown in the circumstance that whereas in 1882 42 per cent, of tho German popu lation lived by farming, the percent age now Is only a little over 36. So complete Is the revolution that, from being a cereal exporting country, Ger many now Imports foodstuffs to tho amount of about $100,000,000 every year In excess of Its exportatlons. The Immense Industrial expansion thus Indicated has been accompanied and largely stimulated by a like ex pansion of finance. The Deutsch bank of Berlin, founded In 1870 with a capi tal of $3,500,000, has steadily enlarged the scope ot Its operations until, with more than 1,300 employes and a capi tal of more than $37,000,000 and an an nual business of considerably over $1, 000,000,000, It has become one ot the great banking institutions of the world. It Is the most conspicuous ex ample of German financial progress, but It Is not the only one. There has been a parallel advance all along tho line, and the accumulation of savings which Is going on Is reflected In the Immense development of life Insurance, as Indicated by tho growth in the as sets of the life insurance companies, which now aggregate $1,600,000,000. For some time Germany has been England's most dangerous competitor In the markets of the world, but France and England have heretofore held well to the front In finance. It seems that there also Germany is already press ing them hard. His Wife's Credulity.

Philadelphia JOHN WANAMAKER NEW V0RK CATARRH OF THE 3T0MACH. A Pleasant Simple, but Effectual Cure far It. Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accom panied sometimes with sour or waterr risings, u formation of gases, causing pressuro on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing; headache, fickle nppotlte, nervousness and a general played out, la'igumfccllng. There is often a foul taste In the mouth, coated tongue, and if tho inter ior, of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, Inflamed condi tion. The cure for this common and obsti nate trouble is found in a treatment which causes tho food to bo readily, thoroughly digested before It has a time to ferment and irritate the deli cate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy di gestion Is the one necessary thing to do, nnd when normal digestion Is secured tho catarrhal condition will have dis appeared. According to Dr. Harlanson the saf est and best, treatment Is to ufo after each trwal a tablet, composed ot Dias tase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Gold en Seal and fruit acids. all drug stores under tho name of Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a patent medicine, can bo used with perfect Bafety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough' diges tion will follow their regular use af ter meals. Mr. N. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn St.. Chicago, 111., writes: "Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a ne glected cold In the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inflamed and tho poisonous discharge therefrom, passing backward Into the throat, reaches the stonufch, thus pro ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medi cal authorities proscribed for me for threo years for catarrh of stomach without cure, but today I am the hap piest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I can not find appropriate words to express my pood feeling. "I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use."

Eagles fly too high for tho naked eyo to discern them until they swoop down, and then it Is too late." Mrs. Bancks went to tho door and yelled for tho children, and Mr. Bancks walked on with his friend, who Inquired: "You don't really bellevo in those yarns about eagles and mountain lions, do you?" "No. But my wife does. All summer I havo had the sea serpent ns an illustra tion, but it's getting too late in tho sea son far that. So I havo fallen back on the other part of the menagerie." "But what is your object? Why do you want to bellevo In such stuff?" "I'll tell you It you'll promise not to give it away.
