within the province of respectable journalism we ve believe diet to have a great effect on this drink question there is something in the climate of this country which has an exhaustive effect A feeling of lassitude and debility or as some express it of gone ness steals over people and they fly to stimulants to brace them up and fill the inward vacuum which afflicts them and thus the custom

ARE TO BLAME PEOPLE generally do not entertain kindly feelings to those who tell them of their faults and yet the honest friend who is too truthful to flatter and is not afraid to speak the disagreeable truth should be held hold in far higher esteem than the facile fawner who always says as you say and who makes it a point to agree alth aith every sentiment and e every plan particularly if it emanates from a person of influence en e wealth or authority at the risk of oT ending offending bome of our friends we will direct their attention to a common fault we those who have emigrated from the old world treat their relatives and acquaintances and co religionists whom they have left behind and the elders who have labored in the ministry and aud who have partaken par part akell taken of the hospitality and experienced the kindness of the freehearted free hearted in foreign lands are equally careless and forgetful of favors received when they return home and slip back into the old
