A SIGNIFICANT DEPARTURE

With the departure of another
year when a review is made of the
condition of affairs, it is only right
that some thought be given to the
physical body which enables every
one to battle with llfe'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
it suddenly dawns upon many that
good health has been greatly impov-
erished by the low condition of the
blood. 1t Is in this state that the
Tactic acid in the vital fluid attacks
the fibrous tissues, particularly the
joints, making known the local mar =

of people have found in Hoods Sar-
saparilla the great blood purier, a
positive and permanent cure for
rheumatism.

Every chair in the theatre was occupied
at MoCullum's last night which speaks

crowds usually wait until the last four
nights of the week. 1t is the verdict
of all who have seen this play that 1t is
the gem of the season. So enthusiastic
did the large crowd become last night
at the finale of the third act that they
stood upon their feot and oheered and
hurrahed until every member of the cast
passed before the curtain. Such loud
applause has never before been heard in
the house. The little Scott children have
made decided hit by their wonderfully
clever work and were presented with q
box of candy, tied prettily with ribbon.
At the matinee yesterday Mr.. Pasoo was
the recipient of one of the largest floral
pieces that ever went over the footlights

Vegetable Rennets,

Those who would like to make cheese on
a very small scale are often troubled to get
proper rennet to produce coagulation of
the milk. A scientist says that if the
leaves Of the common butterwort are
placed in O stgainer and the milk fresh
from the COW Is poured over it, the milk
will soon become thick and has most
delicious flavor. The yellow bedstraw also
possesses the properties Of curdling milk
and the natives Of Cheshire prefer 1t as .
rennet to all other sorts. The leaves and
flowers are put in the strainer, and the
milk is slowly poured over them. The
flower heads Of the garden artichoke also
possess the property Of coagulating milk
In view OF the carelessness sometimes noted
in people who prepare rennet in the ordi-
nary fashion, this vegetable rennet is worthy
of attention. The leaves, properly cleaned
and prepared, would be very much safer
and more hygienic than animal substances
which may go through chemical chances
that unfit them for food.--New YORK.

CONCERNING PRIDE.
Pride of Intelligence. Pride of Appear
ance and Many Other Sorts.


I have been engaged upon serious
problem lately, but one which is seeming
ly so simple that every one should be able
to solve it. I have been trying to define
pride. What is pride, anyhow There are
30 many things that we call pride which
cannot possibly pass muster as the real ar
ticle. Again, we have been taught all our
lives that nothing that is false can be real,
and yet we are day by day brought in con-
tact with an existing condition which we
denominate false pride. Here lie para
doX, surely.
There are pride Of birth, pride Of being,
pride of intelligence and pride of q thou
sand of other things of about equal i'm
portance, but the grouping of them all
brings me back to the original question.
What is prideP To be proud one must have
something to be proud Of, and hence pride
is appreciation, and it is only when that
sense of appreciation is well directed that
1t possesses the ring of quality When
men and women neglect duties through
some mistaken sentiment Of possible criti-
oism OF of probable self humiliation, real
or fancied, the sentiment which actr1ates
them, OF rather which stands in the way
of their activity, is not pride; it is conceit.
do not believe that pride can be qualified.
It seems to me that it must be as indi-
vidua1 as a mountain or tree, and that
its existence is dependent solely upon the
honest worth of the person in whom it
dWells.
My observation has given me the con-
viction that, no matter how seriously men
and women of the world deceive others,
they invariably deceive themselves more,
and the cause of this Is too frequently
through the mistaken notion Of PRIDE We
never deceive others until we first deceive
ourselves. 1t would not appear necessary
to misrepresent a---thing to second or
third person If it " IRE not that we want to
convince ourselves that the misrepresenta-
ton Is the result Of something which we
should have accomplished or which we
may yet do, and here we are influenced by
that quality of eenceit which breads criti
cism and which is willing to humiliate
itself for word or two of praise. 1t is al
ways self deception first. York Re-
