Want to Uo tho Tnlls lor Power.
From tho Toronto Globe.
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.

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!"

QERMANV'S DEVELOPMENT.
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

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."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is th'e saf
est preparation us well as the simplest
and most convenient remedy for any
form of indlgestlon.catnrrh of stomach,
biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn
and bloating after meals.

stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich. The tablets can
bo found at all drug stores.
when tho mountain lion and the bald
eagle are about and they might carry tho
children off."
"Thut's so," said the wlto earnestly. 'I
read only yesterday of a caso of a child
that wns carried off by an eagle, but
that was In Italy."
"It doesn't make any dlffcrenco where
It happened; It might Just as well have
been here. 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. As long ns my wlto be
lieves thoso stories, she'll bcllve mino
when I'm detained In town until tho cars
havo stopped running. See?"
"Yes," said his friend thoughtfully. -I
