Power 8poliation Moves a Yankee Pa- per to Reproduce It. Now that two-fifths of the volume of Niagara Falls has already been divert ed for commercial purposes and legisla- | tive action has become imperative to | save the falls, It is Interesting to recall Charles Dickens' tribute to Niagara, says the Des Moines (Iowa) Register and Leader, It will be found in his much maligned "American Notes." Imagine Dickens returning to lite | and to America to-day, gazing upon | the lessened Niagara, with its environs | obscured by the smoke of a dozen | tories, in his ears the dinning of hu dreds upon hundreds of hn 1&8 wheels, in his eyes thd waning glory of nature's grandest waterfall commingling with towering chimneys and unsightly bufld- ings, and then dashing off thls Impas=- sloned tribute: Chen I felt how near my Creator 1 was standing; the first effect, and the enduring one--instant and lasting-- of the tremendous spectacle, was peace; peace of mind, tranquility, calm recols lections of the dead, great thoughts of | eternal rest and happiness; nothing of goom or terror. Niagara was at once stamped upon my heart a mirage of beauty; to remain there, changeless and indelible, untill Its pulses ccase to beat, forever. "Oh, how the strife and trouble of | daily life receded from my view and: lessened in the distance, during the ten memorable days we pased on that en- chanting ground! What volces spoke from the thundering water; what faces, faded from the earth, looked out upon me from {ts gleaming depths; what heavenly promise glistened in those angels' tears, the drops of many lives, that showered around, and turned theme | selves about the gorgeous arches which | the changing rainbows made! * * & still do those waters roar and leap and roar and tumble all day long; still are the rainbows spanning them a hundred feet below. Still, when the sun is on them, do they shine and glow like mol- ten gold. Still, when the day is gloomy, do they fall like snow, or seem to crume ble away like the front of a great chalk cliff, or roll down the rock like dense white smoke. But always. does the mighty stream appear to die as it comes wn, and always from {ts fathomable' grave arises that tremendous ghost of spray and mist which is never laid; ch has haunted this place with the and and surrounding country, and rake! same dread solemnity since darkness brooded on the deep, and that first flood before the deluge--Ilight--came rushing on creation at the word of God."

In planning a ehouse, the speaker thought, the start should be made at the dining-room, which should be sun- ny in the morning, to have an uplift- ing effect on the household through- | out the day.
