Sincerity.

In life sincerity is the sure touch
stone of character. The good and val
liable man is he who strives to realize
day by day his own sincere concsp-
lions of true manhood. Thousands are
struggling to exhibit what some one
else admires TO reach the popular
standard, to be or appear to be re-
spectacle and honorable, but few make
it their aim to live thoroughly up to
their own individual convictions OF
what is right and good.
Carlyle we'll says: AT all turns
man who will do faithfully needs to
believe firmly. If he have to ask at
every turn the worlds suffrage, IL he
cannot dispense with the worlds suf'
frage and make his own suffrage serve.
he is a poor eye servant, and the work
committed to him will be misdone.

a Domestic Breakdown,

A we'll known lord discovered thief

rang the bell. A servant appeared,
whom the peer requested to go into

said there were no policemen on the
premises WHAT exclaimed his mas
ter in incredulous tones. DO you
mean to tell me that with a cook, two

STRANGE DISHES.
Lions Flesh. Tigers Meat and Baked
Elephants Foot.

Lions flesh is said to furnish a very
good meal. Tiger meat is not so pala-
table. for 1t is tough and sinewy. In
India nevertheless it is esteemed, be-
cause there is a superstition that 1t i'm
parts to the eater some of the strength
and cunning that characterizes the an
imal This notion is not. of course,
held by the followers of Brahma and
Buddha, whose religion forbids the
eating OF desh.
There appears to be considerable dif-
ference Of opinion among authorities
on the subject as to the merits or ele-
plants flesh as an article Of diet BY
some it is considered q dainty, but
there is the authority Of at least one
European against it Stanley said that
he frequently tasted elephants fesh
and that 1t was more like soft leather
and glue than anything else with
which he could compare it Another
explorer, however, declares that he
cannot imagine how an animal so
coarse and heavy as the elephant could
produce such delicate and tender flesh.
All authorities agree in commencing
the elephants foot Even Stanley ad
mitted that baked elephants foot was
a dish fit for king. 1t is the greatest
i delicacy that can be given to q kafnr

4 wealthy merchant in Paris who
does an extensive business with Japan

Yokohama lad failed. but the name or
the firm he could not learn He could
have learned the truth by cabling: but.
10 save expense instead he went TO a
we'll known banker who had received
the news and requested him 10 reveal
the name of the hrm.
That's a very delicate thing TO do"
replied the banker. for the news Is not
official. and If gave you the name
might incur some responsibility"
The merchant argued. but in vain.
and finally he made this proposition:
Il will give you" he said, "a list OF
ten firms in Yokohama, and l Will ask
YOU to look through ii and then tell me,
without mentioning any name. wheth-
err or not the name of the firm which
has failed appears in it Surely you
will do that for me?"
Yes" said the banker. "for IL i do
not mention any name cannot be held
responsible in any way"
The list was made. The banker looked
through IL and as he handed IL back
TO the merchant said, The name or
the merchant who has failed Is there"
Then I've lost heavily" replied the
merchant. for that is the tirm with
which | did business" showing him a
name on the list.
But how do you know that is the
firm which has failedT' asked the
! banker in surprise.
Very easily" replied the merchant
"Of the ten names on the list only one
is genuine-that of the firm with which
/ did business. All the others are tic
titious."

NO INCREASE IN
COST OF MILK
Local Dairymen Say They Are
Not Contemplating a
Boost in Price.
INSPECTION TO DETERMINE

Local dairymen state that there IS
no concerted plan being considered
for raising the price of milk to Rich
mond consumers. The present price
will be maintained, it is thought, I'M
less inspection is established and in
that case, as at indianapolis, the price
will probably be advanced. AT India
napolis, there is probability of the
price being advanced to II cents per
quart for pure milk, while the adul-
terated will sell at the usual price.

Fiyina Kites For Luck.

On the ninth day OF the ninth month,
according to the Chinese calendar. all
the CelestiaIs, old and young alike. be-
take themselves to the hills behind
their towns and amuse themselves by
flying kites. But amusement is not
the sole reason for this ceremony 1t
comes from an old Chinese legend.
and If a Chfnaman did not fly his kite
ON the given day he would rest tuneas-
q lily for the $remai nder OF his life in fear
that misfortune would overtake his
family. The legend runs. that many
years ago certain Ghinaman was
warned In a dream that misfortune
would come to his home on d certain
day. Accordingly on that day he re-
paired to an adjacent hill and amused
himself and his family by flying a
kite while he was waiting for the dis
aster. In the evening, upon returning
to the valley in which his house was
situated, he found that 1t had fallen
In and buried his pigs beneath it. He
and his neighbours Joined in thanksgiv-
ing for his narrow escape, and in
memory Of the event every year sees
the flight Of millions of kites in China.

Our Lost Sense.

One OF the greatest discoveries Of
physiology is that we once had six
senses. What the lost sense was no
one knows, and probably no one Will
ever know, but that our forefathers
possessed it there is no doubt, for
the remains of that part Of the brain
In which it resided are still to be seen
in any one of us. These remains
are simply a small and now perfectly
useless little mass of brain substance
called the pituitary body. 1t consists
OF two tiny little oval lobes joined
together and lying in a little cavity
OF the skull, strangely named the seIIa
turcica and situated over and behind
the nose. 1t is quite possible that Il
may have enabled our forefathers to
see in the dark before lamps and can
dies We're invented, or 1t NAV have
placed them in communion with ghosts
and fairies. or it may have been an
organ that enabled them to 60 home
In bee line when they lost their way
In the primevai forests. On the other
hand, it is possible that it was q bad
substitute for vision or smell or hear
ing and died out when the improved
sense organ developed.

Waqner's ch;!dIike Happiness,

i While in London in 1855 Wagner
took a walk every day in. Regents
park. There, at the small bridge over
the ornamental water, would he stand
regularly and feed the ducks, having
previously provided himself for the
purpose with number of French rolls,
rolls ordered each day for the occasion.
There was swan, too, that came in
for much of Wagner's affection. 1t
was regal bird and fit, as the master
said, to draw the chariot of Lohengrin.

patton filed Wagner s an impress
