To outman NIAGARA FALLS. A Chicago raan's Clever Device for making Use of the Great Cataract. Mr. M. Maginne a mechanical engineer living 2,222 Wabash avenue, Chicago, , has teen awarded ,a gold medal by the Buffalo International Fair Assooiation for his device for utilizing the po wer of Niagara Falls. Some time ago the business men of Buffalo offered a prize of $100,000 for the best device for utilizing the power of the iagara River current opposite Buffalo, Mr. Illaginn's invention was not placed with the current motors, although he ‘claims that the electric power to be getter- ;ated by it could easily be transmitted from the Fella to Buffalo. Mr. Magian propotes to have excavated a cavity or drift at the foot of the falls, in hot of which the flaw of water will be continuous and of sufficient depth to' carry over all flow of ice without striking the device. In this recess, ttpon stone founda- tions, will be a stationary iron truss frame, upon which, on wheels, will be a travelling truss frame aufficaently heavy to carry the water -wheel and other paraphernalia, this consisting of an overshot wheel 60 feet in -diameter, several monster dynamos, and the gearing necessary to work them. The travelling frame will he moved by hydraulic pressure to engage or disengage the water- wheel with the falling water. This is said to be entirely feasible, hydraulic pressure being used to move the heaviest ordnance and other great weights. Stich a machine is calculated to develop over 16,000 -horse power, and the electricity generated might be transmitted to considerable distsnoes for use in running machinery and lighting. —Chicago News. The Black Bishop of the Niger. --e—TheeRight Rev. Samuel A.djel Crowther, D D., missionary bishop of the Niger terri- tory, is now staying at the Church mis- sionary house in Salisbury square, Fleet street. He has come over to England from Africa upon a epeeist mission, namely: to raise funds for the bailding of a new church on the Niger. The bishop, who is a vener- able -looking old gentleman, now in his 81st year, very quiet in manner and with all the impressive actions which belong to the negro race, has had a life full of adventure, which has been almost entirely devoted to the propagation of the Christian religion anaong his fellow -natives. While yet a child he was kidnapped from his tribe—the Yornbas—and sold in Lagos in 1822. He -was, however, rescued by a British ship, taken to Sierra Leone, and educated there by the Church Missionary Society. He was baptized in 1825, was afterwards employed as a teacher, and in 1843, having been ordained, he was sent to his own country, Yoruba, to assist in the conversion of his own people. In 1857 he was appointed leader of the new Niger mission, and on St. Peter's day, 1864, he was consecrated at Canterbury Cathedral the first Bishop of the Niger. Since that date his whole time has been devoted to the conversion of the heathen in those two regions. —Pail Ma// Gazette. HINTS F011 TIIE LNDIES, Physical Health, Beady ad CloaRliaess o Together.

A gentleman writing to The Jewish Ex- ponent, of Philadelphia, says : " Several years ago I commenced writing for the daily papers, making a specialty of 'Jew- ish' newa. For several weeks, when one of the copy -readers would handle my copy for the first time, I would be called to the front and warned not to use the word Jew, as some of our leading Jewish residents had frequently taken the paper to task for using the word, viewing its usage as an intended slur, and this was said to a paper whose ad- vertising &lamas teem with the names of repreeentative Jewish merchants" The readers of the Tidings will observe that this paper does not hesitate to use the word Jew whenever occasion demands. In fact, the word is infinitely preferable to that of Hebrew, and implies a great deal more. The word Jew has come to be re• garded as referring,to religion, and the word Hebrew to language. Those Je,va who !object to reference to them as Jews are a sorry lot and deserve nympathy.--Rochester Jewish Tidings. Washing the Skin. Taking for his theme physical health as the Chid Manna of obtaining beauty, a New York Sun writer has this to say of cleanli- nese as related to health : Now, since yda never have been really clean since your mother stopped giving you your daily bath, suppose you begin with a courae of Turkish baths and get clean. f you have the leisure, and your skin is very bad, try one each day for a week, then one each week for six months, and your skin will begin to have enough life to help you to keep clean. Probably twioe each month after that will keep you in nice oondition in addition to your own ablations. The only thing detrimental in Turkish baths is that the (having for these continually increases like the alcohol or ohewing-gum habit, and yon squander a great deal of money on them, perhaps even learn to 'go without your allowance of confeotionery and ice-cream to waste your substance in what might be called riotous bathing. Strong women find a warm bath at night, with a Tnrkish bath brush and plenty of pure °agile soap; and a oold spondt'e•off in the morning, a refreshing way of bathing, while more delicate women are unable to endure the cold Water without getting pallid faces, red noses, blue rings under their eyes, and a. geneyal chill which is extremely unpleasant as well as onassirable. Bach women would be more oorafot table to take the thorough bath in the mornino and the quick wash in tepid water at night., but in either case the one good bath a day is essential to aotual cleanliness, and on woman who values her complexion ehould ever go to sleep at night without ecaref ally removing from her face the dust of the day any more than she would go to break. fast without brushing her teeth. Very careful thought ,must be given to - the quality, not the quantty, of soap need in bathing the face. In some of 'the Tarkish baths fine imported motile soap is preferred, which is made from olive oil, is warranted by chemists to be pare, and sanctioned by surgeons, who use it in the cleansing of wounds. rhe perfumed soaps bearing the signed testimonials of artists and actressess may be harmless, bat the misfile has been proven beneficial. Some skins are so very inactive and torpid that only a brisk rubbing with coarse flannel , or the hands can wake them up and get them ready for the day's duties. To a com- plexion which a course of thorough baths has rendered clear this flannel rubbing lends a velvety glow that quite takes the place of the coat of powder with which so many ladies whiten over the really un- clean skin beneath. Managing a child. Observing parente have also often noted that their children are affected by their own moods. The mother who gets out of bed "the wrong foot first," as the saying is, may repress the expression of her inner fretfulness, but she nevertheless usually finds that she has an unruly child to dress and feed. How many times does one hear the speech: "1 believe this child just chooses the time to be most trouble- some when I am worn out and as nervous as a witch." Poor little fellow! he does not choose his opportunity, but it is forced upon him. He feele through every fibre of his sensitive being the disturbance of mental and phyei. cal equilibrium from which his mother is suffering. And then when he, not having yet learned to keep back the manifestations of diecomfort and ill•temper, gives way to a fit of childish naughtiness he is promptly puniehed for it. The more a woman studies the effect of her moods upon her ohildren, the more deeply impressed she will be by the troth of this theory. She learns that if she re- proves or punishes a child when she herself is angry, she usually succeeds in provoking him to wrath or reducing him to sallen- nese. He is twice as easy to manage if she preserves her own self-command.—Chris- tian Terhune Herrick. Kisses for the Baby. Don't let everybody kiss the baby 1 Some people seem to think that they have a per- fect right to kiss every child they take a notion to, Bev Dora Harvey Vrooman in the Detroit Free Press. In the first place many diseases are carried by kiseing, so on that score it is best to be careful. And in the second place babies have preferences as well as grown people. We wouldn't like to be compelled to kiss everybody who took a fancy to kiss us, and neither do they. Still there is noting to a child like "mother's kiss." If ha fells and hurts bimselt he runs to mamma, so that she may kiss the place and make it better. If he is tired and fretful, to be taken up in mother's arms and fondled and caressed will make the little heart glad. Yet we learn from a recent letter in one of our con- temporaries that there is a nation where kissing is unknown. That the Japanese mother never kisses her baby as she clasps it to her bosom. It seems almost incredi- ble to us that a mother could forego doing so. When we hold the soft, warm little body against onr hearts, and feel the tiny arms aroand our necks, the warm little cheek against ours; when we look into baby's 'angling eyes and see the pretty parted lips before us, how can we help kissing the dear little thing? Make Home Pretty. Effective curtains may be made of white tarlatan on which are gummed figures cat frorn cretonne. Some of the designs are very pretty, and if applied with taste will give the effect at a distance of painting. Small figures are most desirable, such as sprays' of fiowera, tiny birde and butterflies. Make a thin paste of flour and water, in which is a little ataroh, and when nearly dry press the warm iron. A neat and convenient arrangement for solied linen is made of an ordinary towl with a pretty border and fringed end. Sew thia up in the Blume of a bag, turn one end back and over the front, fasten the back to a small roll or flat piece of wood and hang by cords or ribbona. Those who have odds and ends of lace, no matter of what pattern, can utilize them by putting them together in crazy patch- work faelaion and making a long pilloar sham of them, finishing with a riarroW lace ruffle. A handsome table -spread can be made of 13olton sheeting, edgea with a band of yellow sateen abotit tine inches Wide and all over dealgn in shaded yellow silks throtigh the centre.

That is because she has been cultivating the immortal part of heraelf all these yeare.—Christian at Work. Wasp Waisted Women. Women who sedulously cultivate a small waist should remember that an unnatural tightness is by no means necessary to, or even always consonant with, picturesque. ness. On the contrary, a certain looseness of flowing lines looks very much better in a picture than the ordinary tight.fitting gar. ments of today. If these latter are to be strikingly graceful, they must invest an unneually line and welaformed figure. The tight waist has again been the alibied of a lecture by a dress reformer, but few of those who publioly condemn it remember that the easiest way to dislodge it from favor is to prove how unbecoming it is. No girl pays the smalleat heed to such a trills e.s weakened health when good looks, as she eatimates them, are in the opposite scale. Her constitution is cheerfully sacrificed ; but could she only be convinoed of what is patent enough to the observer— viz., that for every halainoh that she compressea her waist her shoulders are rounded by just so mach—the argument would be found to have some force with her. But girls do admire picturesqueness, and though this may very well aocorupany a natural waist, and very often does so, it is wholly incompatible with round &Joni - dere. There never yet was a straitened waist for which the shouldere did not suffer. The nose, too, often shares the evil results of undue oompreserion. It does not grow round, but it turns red, and who could be picturesque with a crimson nose? Not the lovelieet woman on earth. She may dip it in a bag of flour, as so many noses are dipped nowadays, but the smallest accident may reveal the rosy hue beneath the white. Besides, these woolly noses are only tolerable at quite a long way off. There is a tendenoy toward flaki- ness on the part of the powder that is only a shade less ugly than the ruddy tint it COVera.

Slate gray is the fashionable color for gentlemen's scarfs. Da Vinci is the name given to a new, beautiful tint of heliotrope. Wide lace ooflara anddeep cuffa are worn with dressy indoor toilets.

In ita general appearance, says Engineer- ing, the building somewhat teriemblea the struotarea now assooiated with exhibitions, and yet there are ene or two diatinotive features indicated in the perspeotive view. The chanteteristitho Mooriela &Biwa are borrowed to give it a light and attattotive decorative appearance, particularly in the oese ot two towers, which form a promi- oent feature in the elevation, as they flank the prinoipal entrances, and in the series of domes with turrets at either end of the building. The Union Canal passes between the publio road and the exhibition grounds, and the main building is built parallel with the canal. From the main road e. steel girder bridge carries the entranos way over the canal, and this way, whioh, like the bridge, is covered in with a light awning, diverges in oiroular lines in two directions to the main entrances. The main building, which is 170 It. from the canal, is 700 It. long and 200 ft. in width. ;ant Running across the centre of the building at the entrance is the principal court, with a high arched roof, and on either side of the oeremonial entrance are to be reception rooms. The general courts right and left of this principal one are 50 ft. wide. The total floor area is 177,000 square feet. There is to be a large CONCERT HALL 200 It. long and 100 ft: wide, which will have the distinot advantage of being sep- arated from the general exhibition courts. There will, of course, be the usual dining and refreehment saloons. At the west end of the building there is to be a promenade with veranda, trom which a fine view of the grounds will be bad. The suburban rail- way intone:ea the grounds, and is to be bridged by a strong timber struoture 30 ft. in width. On the side of the railway opposite to the main building ie to be the general machinery hall, 700 ft. long and 150 feet wide, having a floor area of 99,600 square feet, and in close proximity there will be a boiler shed. Throughout the buildings there will be the usual structures. When the plans were before the Dean of Guild Court at Edinburgh, the Lord Dean of Guild complimented the civil engineer and stated that he thought the plans were admirable. It may be added that the ex- ecutive are trying to arrange that several typical Amerioan l000motives will be ex- hibited alongside engines of British build, and that if possible several runs will be made between Edinburgh and London with these locomotives, to test the relative effi- cienoy of British and American engines on English railroads. The results will doubt- less be very interesting. This shows the desire of the executive to produce some- thing distinotly new. Mr. W. A. Bryson, a member of the Institute of Electrical En- gineers, has been appointed engineer and electrician, and his connection with the Glasgow and other exhibitions gives a guarantee that, so far as his efforts are oonoerned, the exhibition will be a success. Arrangements have been made for forward- ing to Edinburgh exhibits at the Paris ex- position from Russia, Austria, China, and the East Indies. Terms Used by Dressmakers. Some of the phrases used in dressmaking are perfect Greek to be unknowing, so I add a short list of the words and their mean- ings. An apron is any sort of a draped Ant front; a tablier is & flat undraped skirt front; a fall back means a etraight moutons. , back to the skirt gathered in two or more Beaded straps with jeweled staii th. h mat the top; a panel is a straight pieoe for the front or sides, set in between trimming of some kind to convey the idea of an inlay; a Spanish flounce is one reaching from the knees down and gathered to form an erect ruffle. Knife pleats are very narrow side pleats, and accordion pleats are still narrower and pressed in shape by machinery; kilt pleats are those turned one way, and box pleats have a fold to the right side and one to the left ; double and triple box pleats have two or three folds on either side; a " kilt " means a skirt entirely of kilt pleats. A " drop a skirt is one of the dress material made up inde- pendent of the lining, and then hung or dropped over it from the same belt. A border is any trimming put on the edge or just above it. Armure silk has a bird's eye or diaper weave; faille Francaise has a soft cord, moire has water waves over its sur- face, tricotrine is sometimes called armure marsh front its lines of bird's eye weaving; surah has almost invisible oords and is very soft. —December Ladies' .TIonie Journal. Obtained Her Liberty at Last. The following almost incredible story comes from Kansas City: The Probate Court of Cooper county on Wednesday de- cided the case of a colored woman who had just discovered that she is free and not a slave, and who stied her late" master's estate for wages. At the commencement of the war joseph Hickman, the wealthiest and most influential farmer in the county, bought a negress slave in the market and took her to the farm as a sewing maid. Since that time she has never been allowed to go beyond the bounds of the farm, and in her petition she alleged she had been permitted to hold converse with none of her race, and none of the family was ever per- mitted to tell her the results of the war. When her old master died three weeka age' she ran away to Boonville, and while there learned she was free. She told her story to a lawyer, and he brought snit to recover $1,500 wages (at $5 a month for twenty- five years) from Hickman's estate. The Court decided for the plaintiff yesterday, and allowed one-half the amount claimed. fasten some of the latest French dinner - gown s. Rosettes of narrow black velvet ribbon are used for trimming children's felt hats of any color. The collar is made high for street gowns, bat is lower and either round or pointed for house dresses. New far capes of seal or beaver have a standing collar, which can be turned baok if desired, as there is far on both sides. The latest novelty in hats for young chil- dren is of soft white beaver, which is very shaggy on the surface and is trimmed only with cord. Handsome silks for dinner dresses are brocaded in self colors and are combined with velvet of the same shade instead of a contrasting color. The Bernhardt mantelette, made of solid jet, is something between a cape and a collar, and is especially becoming to pos- sessors of long, swan -like throats. The newest of kid gloves are made with drawn seams and have "Paris points" like cords slightly stitched, instead of broad rows of stitching on the back. Uncurled ostrich feathers are liked for boas and shoulder capes, black, white and natural -colored feathers only being used, and making etylish capes, which bid fair to become very popular. The corset is being modified to snit new fashions in dress waists, the bast gores being lower and the oorset itself less whale boned and raore flexible, thus tending to shorten rather than lengthen the waist, Life in Russia in 1889. Melville E. Stone, founder and former editor of the Chicago News, has returned from a long trip abroad improved in health. Following are a few lines from what he says about Russia: " In St. Petersburg, in fact all through Russia, there is a hush in the very air. There's a dread of something, a fear of the Government. One day I saw a carriage containing a gendarme and another person. I asked our guide who it was and he said it was a politicalprisoner.

Arthur Jonklao' Sad $tory—nore Than Half His Life Has Been tipent in Jail —Five Years for Brooking a Pane of Glass. (Toronto Telegram) When Arthur itt. jenkina, convicted on four °barges of larceny, was brought up for sentenoe at the Quarter Sessions to -day he asked the court to listen to his biatory, and the court consented on the understanding that it be made brief. "1 was born in Woolverhampton, England," began the prieoner. "At the age of 9 was sent to the reformatory for five years for breaking a window. I suppose they thought that would be a lesson to me, bot inetead of being a lesson, I learned orirnes that I would never have thought of, more than I can mention. Each boy as he came in was made to repeat his hietory, so that we all instead of learning good learnt bad. When I got out I was not yet 14. I tried to get work and couldn't. I had no home to go to ; my mother had died and my brothers and sisters were 'mattered. Then I put the lessons into practice I had learned at the reformatory: I was soon °aught and got five years more in another reformatory." The prisoner then went on to describe how when he came out no one would give work to a reformatory bird. To live he had to steal, and at this time he was again caught and sent to prison. When he was discharged he was turned into the streets without a cent, and started out as a tramp. Another theft and another term in prison followed. When he got oat he went 100 miles away from his old home and joined the 95th Regiment as a bands- man. For five months he did well and was happy. One day a man from hie native place enlisted, recognized him, and told his story. As soon as it .reached the officer's ears he was discharged.- He meandered from place) to place, got into trouble again and was given another term. His liberation was followed by two years' police supervision. For failing to report one day he was arreated andgiven six weeks. He asked the chaplain to get him sent to America, and the chaplain kindly did so. He confided him and his story to a friend on the boat. Daring the voyage a lady lost her purse. He was sus- peoted. The friend told the captain his story, and it beoame public. The captain threatened to have him arrested at Halifax if he didn't give tip the parse. He couldn't because he hadn't it. The lady found her parse a day or two later, and the captain apologized and gave him el 10s. When he got to point Levis everyone pointed to him as a branded thief. He could not get work, but was sent on to Toronto. Here he got employment, but was soon arrested for vagrancy, although working at the time. He was acquitted of vagrancy, but held on a charge of having a forged cheque in his possession. When he came to trial before Judge Faloonbridge he was acquitted. He had lost his job and went around the country looking for work, but the reports of the Toronto police had preceded him and no one would give him employment. At Barrie he was forced to steal and got four months for it. After that he got work on the Chicora and saved money. When winter came he went to the other side, but his record had been sent before hien to Buffalo by the Toronto police. He could not get any work there, but managed to get a year in prison. When be got out he oame back to Toronto and was immediately arrested for jail breaking in Berlin, a place he had never seen. In a day or so it was found he was the wrong man and he was released. Since then" concluded Jenkins, "1 have drifted from bad to worse until I came here. Now I would like to pass some re- marks on the reformatory system." The judge said it was unnecessary; the story if trae was a very sad one. While the reformatory system was not perfeot he could not see how the boys could be kept from speaking to eaoh other. A perfeot systena had yet to be solved. He gave him oredit for his manly history, and believed the best thing he (Judge Macdougall) could do would be to send him to Kingston penitentiary to learn a trade. Prisoner—They teacla a part of a trade there—never right through. The judge however thought if he learned a trade and went where he was not known he could do better, and gave him three years at Kingston. •••• 411L Cleanliness a Modern Virtue.

About two week e ago Henry waa bitten on the hand by a small dog, au& although the wound itself caused him not particular inconvenience, he became anxious and worried by the fear that hydra - phobia would ensue, and to this over- mastering fear is attributed the lose of his - reason. As the young man was getting ready tee go to his work yesterday morning, he sud- denly began to stare wildly about him, to, shout and gesticulate, and arum he tried tee throw himself from a window. Ma family and neighbors in the house caught hold of him, and a desperate straggle with the mad youth ensued. Two policemen were finally summoned, and it required the exeroiee of all their strength ter bind and handcuff him. In this oondion he was removed to Bellevue Hos- pital, and placed in care of House Surgeon Douglass. Throughout the day the lad. continued violent and made repeated at- tempts to bruise and injure himself by throwing himself violently on the,floor. Dna Douglass told an Evening World reporter this morning that there had not been the slightest symptom of hydrophobia about the boy, but that the fear of that dreadful, disease had without doubt unsettled his reason. Last night the lad's stomaoh be- came weak and he vomited freely. He rapidly grew weaker after that, and at 2.4q this morning he died without regaining reason for an instant. The young manta, fear of hydrophobia had been greatly fu- tensified by reading an aocount, last Thee - day of the death of Frank Phillips, aged ft years, of 616 Koniuslio street, Brooklyn. who did have the dreaded malady in ita worst form. Philips was bitten in die lip EliX weeks ago by a mongrel our he piake& up in the street to save it from some boys, who were worrying it. He dropped the dog after it bit him and had his wound cauterized. It healed nicely, and left a slight soar. The boy did not seem to ratted it, but last Sunday night he grew melan- choly and feverish, and on Monday morn- ing his parents summoned physicians, who at once diagnosed his ailment as hydra.. phobia. After suffering terribly for nearly forty: - eight hours the lad died.—New York Wortet. The Little Girls' Evening Dress.

That the ghost of such a man shoal& wander round the dodo is the tree out- come of a tale so fall of pathos. Not even poor old Lear was so basely injured by his ungrateful daughters, for even Dan Mo- Ginty's shade is outraged by a flippant press. The New York World has the hardi- hood to say he was a hod.carrier in Harlem and that he tamped into the river at the Battery, near Castle Garden. There is ne "river shore" at the Battery, and if Mr. McGinty had been a New Yorker at all, it is certain he would have been an alderman. Not content with ripping Prince Eddie a England up the back, that audaoious sheet prints all the gossip it can gather in regard. to the alleged misdeeds of PdoGinty in tint wicked Gotham. That suoh reckless journaliam should, bear bitter fruit is already apparent. What could be more reprehensible than to bring the name of Dan McGinty into disrepute Already this kind of thing has resulted fra murder on Long Island. Reflections oil MoGinty's character are beginning ta frenzy hisfriends and admirers. One man at Throgg's Neale—fatal nama—actually killed another for asking if he had arrested McGinty.

"Too much population," wail a the sixth., " Eight hours," says thseventh. " Ethical =hare," says the eighth. " Strike," hisses the ninth. . " Dynamite," whispers the tenth.
