Can idiotic vanity aud snobbery go any
further than that? Yet it is a thing we run
across every day of our lives
If there is a vanity that is laughable
in pretending 10 trying TO be everything
ourselves, surely there is something pa
be the whole thing TO any one. For a
little while, perhaps, the mother is 10 her
babe, but as soon as the little feet are
strongly set upon the path of life, he runs
away from her Other interests fiji his
mind, other things distract and allure
him, and she takes her place as part of
life, not its whole. For short interval
during the bIissful days of courtship, every
woman believes she is the whole thing TO
her sweetheart, and imagines that she Is
going to contradict the history of the
world and be the one eternal exception to
the rule. After marriage she finds out her
mistake, and that there must be other in
terests, other friendships, other loves. If
she is a wise woman she accepts the ineV-
table If she is foolish and narrow mind
ed and jealous, she rebels against It, and
makes her love a tyranny, that in time
her husband comes to dread and fear ID
is a common observation that the new
wife generally extends a frosty welcome
to Johns old friends and that she seems
to have a latent smoldering jealousy of h $
family that a breath fans into flame. Wo-
men, too are seldom in sympathy with a
mans hobbies. II is her way Of resenting
the fact that she is not the whole thing
to him, that there are other ties that bind
except the one that binds him 10 her.
Much of the unhappn ness of married life
comes from this, while many of the es-
arrangements between parents and children
may be traced to the mothers selfish de-
sire to keep her children to herself, and
shut them out from the friendships and
interests natural to their young lives.
Sooner or later we must all realize that
we can never be the whole thing, or do
the whole thing and we should save our
selves an infinitude of trouble and regret
II we accepted the fact, and doing the
best we could In the little role assigned US
in life, left the rest Of the stage for the
other players

Old Times, Old Friends Old Love
There are no days like the good old days
The days when we were youthful.
When humankind were pure Of mind
And speech and deeds were truthful;
Before love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion,
And before each dame and maid became
Slaves to the tyrant fashion!
There are no girls like the good old girls
Against the world I'd stake EN-!
As buxom and smart and clean of heart
As the Lord knew how to make EN-!
They were rich in spirit and common sense
piety all supportn';
They could bake and brew, and had taught
school, TOO.
And they made the liEeliest courtin!
There are no boys like the good old boys
When we were boys together!
When the grass was sweet to the brown
bare feet
That dimpled the laughing heather;
When the pewee sung to the summer dawn
OF the bee in the bllowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whip-poor-will
Echoed his night song over.
There Is no love like the good old love
The love that mother gave us!
We are old, old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God save us!
So we dream and dream of the good old
times,
And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder,
AS those dear old dreams bring soothing
CLEANS
OF heaven away off yonder.

Here ara some health hints which are
worth remembering.
Never go to bed with cold or damp feet.
Never lean with the back upon anything
that is cold
Naver begin a journey until the break
fast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then I'M
mediately go out in the cold.
Never omit regular bathing. for unless
the skin is in an active condition the cold
will close the pores and favor congestion
or other disease.
After exercise of any kind never ride in
an open carriage.
When hoarse. speak as little as possible
until the hoarseness is recovered from,
else the voice may be permanently in
iured or troubles of the throat be produc-
ed.
Never continue keeping the back exposed
to the heat after it has become comforta-
bly, warm.
When going from warm atmosphere
into a cooler one, keep the mouth always
closed, so that the air may be warmed by
its passage through the nose ere it reaches

When acquainted with the trials and dis

appreciating the feeling of nervous ex-

The vanity of people is depicted by Dor
othy Dix in the New Orleans Picayune as
follows: after all, what ridiculous van
ity it is. and how many absurd forms it
manifests itself in. I have heard people
who claimed TO be literary, who always
pretended 10 have read everything. Have
you seen so and so in such and such a mag
azine,o such and such new book? oh,
yes they would say. I always read ~
erything new, although the slightest sub
sequent conversation was sufficient 10
show their utter unfamniarity Of the thing
in question. Sometimes the vanity takes
the form of pretending to know every one
of consequence and they refer glibly 10
what the President said when they saw
him last in Washington. or that little wit
ticism of Mr.. Depew's when we crossed
togther on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, .

ton to the army of snobs one meets every
where, and particularly at the summer re-
sorts. who claim acquaintance and init
macy with all rich and infuen-
tal people, and whose names they
only know through the society col
umns. oh, yes they say, we know
Mrs. Croesus intimately, and dear Mrs.
Bullion is our dearest friend and they go
on cheerfuly supplying those ladies with
fictitious biographies and imaginary pans

they hedge with the assertion, but, really,

Is Proved to Be in Gen. Methucn'
Brigade.
London, November 25-The striking
proof afforded of the excellent material
General Methuen hes in his brigade Ii
however, matter of great satisfaction
IN London.
There Is an unconfirmed report that the
correspondence seized in the Boer camp
cont. ms evident proof of reasonable COM
munications between the Beers and tne
Dutch coicnlsts.
General Whites dispatch of Wednesday
efiectuaily disposes of all rumors of an
other sortie from Ladysmith and OF tle
defeat of the Beers. The situation in
Natal remains unchanged, the sortie from
Estcourt to Willow Grange having little
effect.
The position of Mafekiug is beginning
to be regarded with anxiety, in view OF
the impossibility Of Lord Methuen being
able to relieve the town for some time to
come.
Throngs of people were waiting at the
war office last evening until a late hour
for the lists OF those killed, wounded or
missing in the battle of Belmont, but
nothing was published in addition to Cen
eral Methuen's first dispatch.
General Buffers destination is kept a
strict ftaret at Capetown. some reports
saying tnat ne has gone north and others
that he has gone to Durham.
A dispatch TO the Times from Moot river
gives the British casualties in tho, willow
Grange affair as three killed and forty -four
wounded. This Is the first news of such
heavy loss, and il correct. suggests 4
repetition of General Whites unfortunate
action of October 30.
