HorseradIsh at It's Be.t.

Some people care for nothing but
lemon on raw oysters, but there are
others who desire horseradish. Usu-
ally such folks regard the strongest
horseradish as the best, but an expert
enced vendor of the condiment, OF
Castle valley, pooh-poohs this point OF
view. why should the strong horse
radish be considered good?" says he.
1T brings tears to your eyes and lifts
the top Of your head off and makes
YOU want to sneeze. 1t has no taste
whatever The mild horseradish, that
which has stood a while, is the best
and pleasantest always. There is notn-
ing so foolish as to think that the
strong. biting kind is the fresh-that is
the reason why it is preferred to the
mild sort-for the very stalest, weak
est horseradish can be made in 20
minutes strong enough to blow your
head off. All you need to do is to add
salt to it. Try this some time. Just
take any old horseradish, dump in a
spoonful of salt and then notice the
difference. don't know why salt
should have such a powerful effect on
the stuff. but no doubt a chemist could
tell you that. Philadelphia Record.

Christian Qualities.


Certain qualities of character are es-
sential to a Christian. One is justice,
not merely in the sense of fairness,
important although that is, but justice
in the sense of loyalty to the truth.
Another is humanity, appreciation OF
and fidelity to the highest interests OF
others, including benevolence and all
helpfulness of which there is need. An
other is integrity. that individual
erectness and steadiness of character
which is strong enough to resist the
assaults of evil, active to do all posi-
Bile good, and sturdy and self reliant in
everything Another is obedience to
rulers, not necessarily as if they were
superior in intellect or heart, but be-
cause authority is of God. obedience
to constituted authority properly is or
dained of God, ar disregard of law
and good order, however gratifying to
the individual, and even when ones
rulers are not in all respects ideal
would be to introduce anarchy into So
ciety with all its terrible perils. The
Christian must be obedient to author
ity. Yet all these qualities are often
illustrated in those who are not Chris
tians. No one can be a Christian with
out them. but to possess them without
something in addition is not necessar-
lily to be a Christian What then is it
49,. is distinctive OF the Christian?
1t is reverence fer God It is loyalty
to the divine fatherhood, to the divine
mercy and the force of the divine ex-
ample and life as illustrated in the
redeeming life Of Christ. The Congre-
gationalist.

The Boer is no mean fisherman.
Given pipe and supply of his favor
lite weed, he will sit for hours angling,
says the London Mail. Very fine sort,
indeed may be had in any of the
streams north of the Orange river. The
only tackle required consists of the
usual coarse fishhooks and a strong
rod. On the authority of Mr.. Roland
Trimen, f. l.. s., and curator of the
Cape Town museum, it may be stated
that no less than fourteen different
fresh water fish, varying from bar
Der of seventy pounds to the culper, or
burrOwing perch, of less than quar-
ter of pound weight, exist in the
Transvaal streams, the latter being the
only fresh water fish of the country
known to take a fly. The most COM
mon specimens, however, are the TWEEN
ty-pound yellow tail and a thirty-five
pound nondescript sort of fish which
merely require hooking and hauling
out with an ordinary cod line. From
the Orange river southwark the fresh
water fishing is very poor, but farther
north the rivers and vleis are general
ly well stocked. Even lakes which are
only filled with water during the rainy
season are often stocked with fish,
which preserve life, when the bottom
is dry by burrowing deeply in the
ooze before it hardens, and coming
forth again from their muddy retreats
when the Good returns.
