A Significant Departure.

With the departure of another year
when a review is made of the condlt-
ION OF affairs, it is only right that
some thought be given to the physical
body which enables everyone to bat
tie with life's problem and figure for
themselves the profit or loss on the
trial balance sheet. Though the bank
account may be large and each ones
material gain be great, it would not
be surprising If 1t suddenly nith 70 oa hsas

condition of the blood. It is in this
state that the Tactic acid in the vital
anid attacks the fiorous tissues. par
tienlarly the joints, making known
the local manifestations OF rheuma-
tism. Thousands OF people have
found in Hoods sarssparilla the
great blood purifier, a positive and
permanent cure for rheumatism.

Laurels for the Belfast Band.

Tie Belfast Band made an excursion to
Bangor Tuesday by steamer Cimbra, to
commodate those who wished to attend the
Republican State Convention. The passeu-
gers numbered III from Belfast, including
the Band; 16 from Searsport; from Sandy
point, md IA from Winterport. The excur-
sion paid the band good dividend The
Bangor papers speak highly of our Band.
The Daily News says: The Belfast organ
ization is credit to the city-would be to
any city" The Commercial says: 1.-THE
Belfast Band will rank with the best in the
State" and that its music was of a style
"that set the members of a local organza-
ton by the ears in jealousy"
The excursion of the Band to attend the
field day exercises of the Patriarchs Militant,
1. o. o. F., at Rockland this week was also
largely patronized A delegation from Can
ton Halifax of Waterville, accompanied by
ladies', arrived by the morning passenger
train and joined with Canton Pallas of this
city in the excursion. The excursion was
by steamer Cimbria, which brought Cantons
from Bangor and from Aroostook county,
and arrived here about o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The Belfast Band is to take
prominent part in the proceedings, and APP
pears for the first time in new uniforms. The
suits are of white duck with gold buttons,
and the helmets of white with gold spikes.
The helmets, trimmings, ETC., are from Oak
Hall, Boston; the suits were cut by H. w.
Clark, the pants made by NJ B. Lawrence
and the coats by W. w. Gates.
The latest order received by the Band is
highly complimentary one. The town of
Eden is to celebrate it's centennial July I'd
and Sd, and Belfast Band IS engaged to fur
nsh music. AS the affair is COTTON up by
the summer residents of Bar Harbor, and
as some of the best bands in New England
We're considered in making the arrange
ments, this order is extremely gratifying to
our Band members and their friends

Although not counting among the seri-
GUS artists Of the day, since he was at best
only caricatUrist, Gavarni was frankly
and exclusively modern, but none the less
was he master of composition and Ger
tain sort of conventional grace. He found
beauty still existing out of the range Of the
antique.
The baltic pictures Of Horace Vernet be-
long as little to romanticism as the carl
catures of Gavarni The genius Of both
was essentially restricted. Neither was
Melssonier, although belonging to the sane
date in any way associated with the TO
mantle moment. He had nothing In COM
mon with Delacroix, AIRY Scheifer, Louis
Boulanger, Decamp or the Dcvcrias He be-
longed to the school of good sense and was
scrupulOus in detail and the vcrificatiou Of
nature 1t was strange thing TO say, but
true, that SO successful an artist, whose
works Ohtaired almost fabulous prices,
never displayed the whole extent of his
capability. The public taste and require
ments clrcumicrihed his talent in a sort Of
magic circle from which he could not cs-

1t is said that ridicule is the test of truth.
And there is Il true sense in the saying.
The PlatOnic irOny-which is really the
feigning of ignorance in order to get a man
to make fool of himself-may illustrate
this And, to look at the matter from an
other point of view, it may be seriously
maintained that we never really believe a
thing until we are able to treat it sportive-
ly. The more profound our wisdom, the
more lightly we shall wear it. 1t is ira
dition Of the Catholic church in her coll
leges and scminaries that all ethical ques-
lions should be dealt with humorously
The professor of moral philosophy in those
institutions is ''der lustige, as the Ger
mans would say-the man who does the
comic business.
Carlyle, in one of his early letters, speaks
of n sense of the ridiculous as brotherly
sympathy with the downward side. " 1t is
n most pregnant saying. Twenty seven
millions, mostly fools" Well, better to
view them as fools than as knaves, For the
emotion raised by folly is rather pity and
ruth than anger Then, again, the ludi-
crous, and especially the variety of it which
we call satire, is an incstimable instrument
of moral police; do not say of moral ref
Ormation What moral reformation really
means is the conversion Of the will from
bad to good. And do not think satire, as
a rule, likely to effect that. But it is cor
tainly most effective deterrent. Fort

The Tree of the traveller.

Modern science is gradually disposing OF
a great many Of the myths with which
travellers have delighted to regale spell
bound audiences A particularly enter
tanning story has been told of tree be.
longing to the same order as the banana
1t is called the travellers tree, because of
the large quantity of water said to be
stored in the shcaths of the leaf stalks
Sensational accounts are given of travellers
who have for days sought water and who,
at the sight of one Of these trees, began to
weep and shout by turns, then to run, with
what little strength they have, to the plant
grasp a stalk and fill themselves with the
life giving liquid These stories are all
very well, with a good many grains of salt
There are trees of this kind, and there is
water in the leaf stalks, but the plants
grow in regions where it rains a greater
part of the time, so that there is no diff
Guilty in getting water whenever 1t is dc
sired. Besides, the trees arc extremely
tall, and the leaves are at the very top 1t
would therefore be necessary for the per-
son to climb to the top in order to get at
the leaves at all This would be a serious
undertaking for man at DEATHS door
from thirst
Tho trees. however, are useful to the
natives and are much employed for various
purposes. The bark is 1lattened and makes
very good floors. The leaves are made into
drinking vessels, plates and other utensils
They are worked into mats and are used
rs matching and walls on the huts 1t is
interesting to follow these wild and vi
sionary stories to their source, when it is
almost always found that, although there
Is shadow Of truth in them, there is
nothing specially remarkable They arc
merely useful things, valuable in certain
lines, but wholly destitute of the marvel
GUS qualities attributed to them. New

Red Men Selected Chicago Site because
Cyclones Never Touched 1t.
I'm the speculation about cyclones in
Chicago" said Amos Kersey, a resident
of Elmhurst, who has known Chicago
for almost so years, zone most inn
portant thing is usually overlooked. In
the ordinary course of nature there will
never be a tornado in Chicago. It's not
entirely a question of why the city is
safe. The main thing Isl Is it safe?
After that speculation is idle.
But you know that tomatoes never
visit localities where the Indians had
villages? They never do. There was an
Indian village at the mouth of the Chi
cagoriverwhenth the firstexplorer caIneto
the portage. And tradition then said
that village always had stood there.
There has never been a cyclone in the
city. Sometimes they come within ten
miles, but they never wreck the city.
There was ne Indian village on the
site Of st. Louis, and cyclones have come
there repeatedly. The one in 1872 was
almost as severe as this one of Wednes-
day.
81 don't pretend to understand why,
you know. only give you the facts.
Isuppose the course of storms. the chan
mel in which they travel, is as definitely
fixed as the course Of the gulf stream or
the recurrence of the seasons. In pass
ing ages the people. however primitive,
will come to recognize these boundaries.
They will not make settlements IN the
places where tornadoes come. They
will go to places where tornadoesnever
have struck.
"By that system of selection they
chose Chicago. They did not choose St.
Louis. Now, it may be the presence Of
the lake-though that scarcely seems
reasonable, as other lake cities have
been visited. It may he the general fiat
character of the land. but Kansas and
Nebraska have suffered, and they are
as level. don't know why. I only
state as a result of my observation and
study that sites of Indian villages are
never visited by cyclones. Chicago
