VANITY.

1t is never easy to discriminate be-
tween vanity and proper self-apprecia
ton. In a general way it may be said
that those who have no claims to ex-
cellence and yet are conceited-that is
to say think they are remarkable-are
afflicted with vanity, while those who
being possessed of Unusual powers know
1t and exhibit their knowledge show
nothing more than a proper self-appreci-
alton. Between the two extremes there
are many grades of merit and conceit,
and there are some rare characters who
get even beyond this range. There are
worthy men who have no self-apprecia-
ton, and there are ounces who are vain.
Vanity in its ordinary sense is not to
be encouraged yet no man should I'M
derestimate his powers. 1t Is better that
he should be little vain than that he
should suffer in his own person from
modesty Roughly speaking, the world
takes man at his own estimate OF
himself; at all events it does not add
anything to that estimate, and the mod
est man who depreciates his own know
ledge or accomplishments is quite sure
TO be taken at his word. He is thus
made to suffer for his modesty by COM
parison with his pretentious companion
who proclaims his merits with assur-
ance. In the long run, of course the
charlatan Is exposed and sometimes the
merit of the modest man Is discovered,
but too late to be Of service. The char
latan has already reaped the fruit of
his effrontery; the modest man Is prob
ably dead before he is enshrined This
Is frequently the case with artists and
poets, and is less obviously SO with men
In other callings. The artist who could
not sell his pictures at any price when
he needed bread becomes the head of
school after his DEATH and his pictures,
being sought by collectors bring fabu-
lous prices. The poet who could scarce
ly get his works accepted for publica-
ton on any terms is made the rage after
his death by some friendly criticism,
and his poems appear in editions de
luxe, with much profit to the publishers.
On the other hand the charlatan whose
vanity promotes his popularity enjoys
not only an ephemereal fame, but the
profit that results therefrom. He as
serts himself in the magazines or in the
art gallery and by sheer force of vanity
obtrudes himself upon public notice and
gains the reward of notoriety. He does
not last long without he has merit; but
while he is in vogue he prospers. His
carried to an extreme
and developed into vanity, has been of
service to him. The lesson seems to be
that while men should avoid unsub-
stantial vanity, they ought to cultivate
a proper self-appreciation. During a
mans lifetime he will never be valued
at eny thing more than The value he puts
upon himself. The world is right in
this. 1t is a good general rule. sustain
ed by proverbial exceptions, that man
knows his own powers better than any
one else can know them. If he lis mod
est and retiring and sets low value
pom the work he is doing, the world will
agree with him to the extent of not put
ting higher value upon his products
than he himself has set. 1t may, in fact,
demand a discount on general princi- !

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 1.-THE Sa-

before leaving, according to news by the
steamer Warimoo, that the Berlin treaty
is still in existence, so is the office Of the
chief justice. The natives say that If the
Berlin treaty is still in effect then they
have autonomy and will proceed to elect
a supreme chief, giving him the title of
king. 1t is rumored the Mataafa people
are proceeding on that presumption, and

that there was scarcely any hope OF re-
coyely, and the end came very peacefully.
His son, James L. Eustis, Jr,, and his
daughter. Miss Celeste Eustis, were at
the bedside when their father breathed
his last.
Mr. E-lstis came to his summer home,
on Claiming avenue, as was his custom,
early in July. intending to remain until
autumn. All the early part of the sum
mer he was in excellent health, devoting
many hours to Il critical review of the
Dreyfus case, in which was to be embod-
led much valuable material gathered dur
ing his official residence in France.
The extreme heat prostrated Mr.. Eus-
tbs, and at the time it was attributed in
part to overwork. AS he had never been
troubled with his heart no special anxiety
was felt at the prostration Of Mr. Eustis,
and later he seemingly recovered his
strength and vigor. 1t was not until the
recurrence of the trouble during the past
week that his illness was looked upon in
serious light, and then it was diagnosed
as secondary pneumonia. From the ra-
pidity with which dissolution came it is
evident that the disease was firmly root
ed in the earlier attack.
