urally, the -"Ashtabula disaster" be-
enmc itlimvHt it classic of the news. It
was rend and talked about for months
as ono of the most frightful events In
tho world's history. Hut Iww Is It
now? A few days ago, wo read with
out deep concern of u frightful wreck
In the Mlddlo Wftrt, followed n day or
two afterward by .another disaster f
equal extent and horror. Outside the
Immediate vicinity In which these ac
cldonts happened, rrports of theiu
were read almost with Indifference.
Twcnty-flvo years ago Uy would havo
filled tho newspapers for days. It Is
not that human suffering is more In
differently regarded nowadays, but that
through familiarity with frightful rail
road accidents we havo come to look
ujMvn them almost as a matter of
course. We are expecting them just
about so often. If wo ourselves escape,
we think we are lucky, nnd beyond that
there is only passing sympathy for the
victims unless wo nre personally con
nected with them. Wo were horrified
when the Han Francisco earthquake oc
curred, considerably Interested when
Valparaiso was shaken to tho ground,
and not particularly concerned, compar
atively, over tho futo of Kingston. Pos
sibly lu this rushing age It will not be
long ere we shall look on tho downfall
of nations and tho obliteration of en
tiro peoples with equanimity.
The days have passed when every
woman had her knlttlng-work. Our
grandmothers picked up tho stocking
when u neighbor dropped in, when tho
twilight fell, when tho oven needed
watching and thero is n Now Eng
land tradition of one Industrious
woman who took up her knitting while
tho jiooplo wore gathering for a family
funeral. The complicated operations of
'widening," "narrowing," "setting tho
heel" nud "toeing off" were ho fomlllar
to feminine lingers that they could nil
be accomplished by firelight Every
family discussion was conducted to tho
accompaniment of tho clicking needles.
Mary's course nt tho academy, John's
Journey to Iloston to find n market for
mother's cheeses, tho purchaso of the
wood-lot nnd the building of the now
ell to tho house wero nil worked Into
tho fabric of ttio gray stockings nnd
tho white stockings as they grew under
skillful lingers. All the plans wero laid
with a greater deliberation than to-day,
when tho woman's part In thu conversa
tion Is often taken by snatches, as she
runs tho sewing machine, looks after
the separator, or wields tho carpet-
sweeper. Grandmother thought her way
to many a wise conclusion over her
knitting. It was a tonic far depression
and n sedative for nervous Irritability.
It was tho earliest diversion for tho
convalescent, and tho last work which
feeble lingers and falling eyes could do
before tho final rest. How many a
daughter treasures with loving caro
"tho last pair of stockings mo'thcr
knit I" The pleasant, quieting, house
wifely occupation need not go out of
fashion because machinery mnkei
stockings more cheaply than hands can
niako them. Thero Is still call for thu
product of tho needles. For example,
tho missions for seamen nro always lu
want of warm knitted muillcrs nnd
hoods, with which sailors may bravo
their winter voyages. Hospitals nro
glad of shoulder shawls for patients,
nud bed-socks may help ninny a poor
old womnn to sleep warm. Tho knitting
which the family can spare may now
bo turned Into the great channels of
charity, nnd so make tho knitter the
happier, nnd tho world tho wnruicr

This Is not the only country which
has largo water-power engineering
plans on hand. There Is u project un
der way lu Ilombay which literally
alma at harnessing tho Indian mon
soon and utilizing the resultant energy
In running tho cotton mills of Ilombay
nud other factories in tho adjacent dis
tricts. Tho Western Ohnuts, or mountains,
forty-thrco miles from Ilombay, nro
among tho rainiest districts of tho
world; even during tho famine years
180(1-7, when thousands of peoplo wero
perishing elsewhere because of tho lack
of rain, the Inhabitants of tho Cluauts
district wero nearly ruined by a rain
fall of fnr.n twenty-two to twenty-six
feet for tho wot season, Juno to Octo
ber. This speedily drains off to the nn,
Honeo It Is proposed to build throe
great dams, thus utilizing three of tho
many valleys as reservoirs, an under
taking made all the easier by tho stony
formation, which does nwny with tho
necessity of artificial tloors lu tho pro
posed reservoirs.
How stoop the approach Is appears
from tho fact that then will bo a de
scent of 1,7.11 feet lu less than two and
one-half miles. At tho base of tho
mountains will bo u great jwwor sta

"MB. EDWARD."
In 18311 tho Prince of Wales was
much Interested in tho creation nnd
organization of the College of Music
In London. He caused It to bo Inti
mated to the lato Hlr Henry Irvlugthnt
It would show tho Interest of another
and allied branch of art In tho under
taking if tho dramatic artists would
give u benefit for tho now college. Tho
prince even suggested that "Itobert Ma
cutro" would do excellently for tho' oc
casion, with nn all-star cast
Of course Irving was delighted to
help, nud tho result was a splendid per
formance, nt which tho Prlnco and
Princess of Wales attended, nnd n sum
of mora than ono thousand pounds was
turned over to the college tho entire
receipts. Irving himself, says Mr. Ilrnm
Stoker In his "Personal Reminiscences
of Henry Irving," pnld all tho expenio.
In tho first year of Its working, when
tho class for dramatic study was or
ganized, Irving was nBkcd by tho direc
torate to oxamlno It, whlcti ho did cheer
fully, nnd lu duo time made his report.
Soon afterward ho received a letter of
thanks for his services.
Although quite formal, It was n most
genial uud kindly letter, nnd to the sig
nature was upiwuded "chairman." In
acknowledging It to Sir George Grove,
tho director of tho college, Irving said
what a pleasure It had been to him to
bo au examiner, nud assured Sir Oeorgo
that ho would gladly hold his services
nt tho disposal of the college. Ho add
ed i his letter this postscript:
"lly tho way, wlto Is our genial friend,
Mr. Edward, chairman? I do uot think
I havo mot him."
Ho got a horrified letter sent by mes
senger from Sir George, explaining that
the signature was that of "Albert Ed
ward" then Prlnco of Wales, now till
majesty, Edward VII.
