Mr. Carnegie suffers from indiges

away.
It ip easy to prove that the gun
Isn't loaded immediately after the ac
cident.
' An artist made a fortune painting
purple landscapes and lost It painting

Whenever a man , whose life Is In-
rared for $400,000 , is accidentally shot
there is always more or less talk about
suicide.
Spain was content to put in her bill
against Venezuela. For reasons un
necessary to state , she sent no war

The bear that walks like a man is
now pointing at Rudyard Kipliiig and

There is a difference between get

worth It and being worth $10,000 a
year because you get it.
J. Plerpont Morgan has made $42-
DOO.OOO during the past year. He must
Bind It rather disappointing that he was
unable to make it an even $45,000,000.
The Chicago city sealer has found a
coal dealer who is dishonest enough
to sell 2,200 pounds for a ton. He
Bliould be prosecuted to the limit of the
law.
The clerks , male and female , In one
of Chicago's department stores , are
now designated by the management
s "salespersons. " Slowly but surely
the line is being obliterated.
Mrs. Llllie Devereaux Blake says
there are in this country 2,500,000 un
married men who couldn't have wives
if they wanted them. It is pretty
bard , however , to set some bachelors to
thinking.
If after having looked at General
Miles the old Empress Dowager of
China continues to think she is the
most dazzling thing on earth It will
have to be conceded at once that she
is simply crazy.
Army officers complain that they
cannot financially keep up with the
lightning changes in uniforms. More
attention seems to be devoted to fashIon -
Ion plates than to seeing that there
are enough competent men to use the
coast-defense machinery.
Judge Kavanagh , of Chicago , is
right in saying that the loss of a boy's
hand is worth more than $500 to him
self and the mother he had supported
before an accident rendered him unfit
for work. It Is good to know that our
courts stand between the unfortunate
and an unjust private settlement in
such cases.
Emperor William declares that there
Is no difference between him who
plxes and presents a poisonous draft to
another and him who robs his fellow
man of his honorable name , and from
the safe shelter of his editorial sanc
tum , with the poisoned darts of his
slanders kills him by the mental tor
tures he Inflicts. There will be many
a hearty amen to the sentiment.
Reports from Lima , Peru , say that a
storm that struck that Andean city
recently spread a foot of snow on the
streets and dropped the mercury to
8 degrees below zero. A few mete
orological effects of this kind would
work a radical change In the govern
mental aspects of South America. If C

The death-rate of the State of Mas 1
sachusetts has been falling steadily 1
tor ten years and In the last year was
lower than ever before. General con
ditions are changing for the better ,
and the mortality from consumption
and some other Infectious diseases has
decreased. The State Board of Health
suggests that the gain Is in a meas
ure due to immigration since most of
the Immigrants ate sound-bodied per
sons of a favorablfe age. Immigrants E
do not always get credit for their vir
tues , physical or otfcer ; but even if
we deny them the possession of ten
der qualities , we would1 be willing to
admit that the are tough.
The American people live and move
have their being In an atmosphere
of harmless shams , many of\ which
&
jtake form as titles and dignities. They

alL There are Judges who know noth
ing of law. There are doctors of laws ,
medicine , theology and phil ophy
who never even passed through the
primary school , to say nothing of accu-
inulatlng university degrees. There
are colonels galore , generals not a few ?
and a captain here and there who does
cot know the difference between a
repeating rifle and an Australian's 0
boomerang and never smelt gunpow

The average man likes nothing bet
ter than being with his family if he
is given half a show. But even If
{ that be his best pleasure other duties * ,
foay still prevent him from giving at
til his spar * time te it If he desires , th
to find time to cultivate his mind and
is a very busy man and it may be re
marked right here that it is only the
very busy people who do find time to
cultivate their minds he finds It im
possible satisfactorily to do so in the
family sitting room. So the "man's
' , den" has evolved as a matter of need.
That it has been carried into a fad
and has taken on many phases that
are ridiculous does not affect the fact
that to many men it opens up a world
of delights.
New York is wildly enthusiastic over
Dr. Lorenz , the Vienna physic'an , and
philanthropist , who has been curing
cripples and performing difficult yes ,
almost impossible surgical operations
without the use of the knife. His ten
der heart is responsible for his great
deeds , It Is said. He has a horror of
the use of the knife , of Inflicting pain ,
of the necessary savagery of modern
surgery. And so , with his great hands ,
backed up by powerful muscles , he
does things that have been deemed im
possible straightens crook , d limbs
and saves human beings for lives of
usefulness. There is a good deal of
jealousy in the medical profession.
Your family doctor will admit that if
you ask him. But when it comes to
progress , to higher science , to curing
a greater portion of the sick by adopt
ing radical and daring methods , that
a pioneer has shown to be good , jeal
ousy is lost sight of. No class of men
and women are more enthusiastic over
the great accomplishments of this man
from over the sea than the physicians.
They cheered him in New York when
he kneaded a boy's club-foot into
shape. Some day it seems almost
possible that there will be no cr.pplcs.
Science will have taken from the chil
dren their crutches , placed their feet
on the ground and bade them walk.
Humps will disappear , and pain more
pain than words can measure and sid- :
ness , too , will have all but disappeated.
Perhaps Dr. Lorenz is blazing the way
for this great stride in the God-giving
science of healing.
No aspect of the great industrial
combinations of the day has been
more anxiously considered than their
probable influence on the development
of individual capacity. How do they
affect , the young man's chances of
success ? Has he the same opportu
nity now that he had twenty-five or
fifty years ago ? Can he begin now as
he did then , with nothing , and by his
intelligence , fidelity and "push" create
a place and caive out a fortune for
himself ? Certs uly conditions have
greatly changed , uut it is by no means
certain that opportunities have les
sened. A large company of men gath
ered recently to do honor to an old
friend and employer on his eightieth
birthday. By his inventions and im
provements in processes he had made
a fortune and come to be called "the
iron master. " He rose from the workj
ing ranks under the old conditions.
But the same papers which reported
this birthday celebration had refer
ences also to the head of the grea *
shipping combination , the president
of the "steel trust , ' , ' the head of the
greatest street railway system in the
world , and the largest contractor In the
world. They represent , in part
at least , the new conditions , yet every
one of them has risen from the ranks.
It is doubtful if the chances are less
frequent ; it is not doubtful that the
demand for qualities which command
success has increased. Moreover , the
rewards have grown larger , and the
time 1 in which they may be won has
shortened. Specialization , concentra
tion 1 are the order of the day , and then
1C
qualities most in demand are executive
qualities. < It is an age of great un
dertakings. The man who succeeds
best 1 is he who can not only work
efficiently himself , but who can show
others how to work. The men who
have 1 made their way to the top and
1I
1t accumulated fortunes by the time they
are forty years old are no longer rare t
but when they have reached a place
of sufficient importance to warrant a
biography , and the biography is writ
ten , in almost every case it appears
that two things are true of them'a
They performed the little tasks of their
early experience thoroughly and intel
llgently , and they were always on the is
lookout for bigger things to do.

PROSPEKITY IN CANADA.
The Farmer in "U extern Canada
Achieve IVon lorful buccens.
Uue of the first things that the man
svho wishes to change liis residence en
deavors to find out is where he can go
and succeed. It need be a' matter of
little doubt or indecision no\\ . Dur
ing the past four or live years .the de
velopment of Western Canada bns
been so rapid , and the conditions of
life there so widely known , that up
wards of 100,000 Americans have taken
up their homes there , and the experi
ence of these people is that they are
thoroughly satislied with their choice
of home.
The methods of farming there are
similar to those adopted in the United
States , but the operations are simpler ,
the * yield of grain greater , and the
profits more satisfactory. Ranching
j
is carried on with lots of success. Mix
ed farming is always profitable , while
the results in grain-raising are as cer
tain as splendid soil , excellent climate
and lots of sunlight can give.
The yields of but nothing is as sat
isfactory as the experience of the farin-
pr himself , and extracts are selected
from one.
A good Intelligent farmer named
Mears j John Mears , to be exact left
Cavalier County , North Dakota , two
years ago , and followed the thousands
who had already gone to Canada. He
had twenty-five years' experience In
Minnesota , in buying grain , including
flax ; but in all his experience he never
saw a district so well suited to the
growth of flax as Western Canavla.
The financial results of Mr. Mears' op
erations in a single season are as fol
lows : Wheat , 3,000 bushels 1 hard at
57c , $1,785.00 ; 2.G30 bushels 1 North
ern at 54c , $1,457.20 ; oats , 1,750 bush
els at 35c , $012.50 ; speltz , 154 bushels
at 75c , $115.50 ; flax , 324 bushels at
$2 , $62S. Total , $4,598.20. A return of
more than $4,500 from a little over 250
acres , an average of $18 per acre , is
surely testimony sufficiently strong to
satisfy the most incredulous as to the
money to be made out of the soil of the
Canadian West. It is to facts like
these arguments expressible and dem
onstrable in dollars and cents that the
steady northward movement of Ameri
can farmers is due. Mr. Mears is set
tled near Arcola , Assa.
A number of Americans who have
c'hosen Western Canada aS a home Lad
the idea * that a man enjoyed less free
dom in Canada , but they soon found
their : mistake , and say the laws cf
Canada are the most liberal in the
world , and such as prevent the litiga
tion which breeds so much bad feeling
between people in the United States

fees.

Nature performs the healing process and medicine can only as
sist her in doing her work in healing wounds and throwing off
diseases. Nine-tenths of t e diseasesof man and beast have their
origin in some form of germs and if allowed to run dnd multiply
form complications. Tae reason that Liquid Koal prevents all
germs dieases and cures rhera , unless ferm n ation and inflamma
tion have too far developed , is that it contains every antiseptic
and ne-rnicida known to science. All germ diseases such as hop :
cholera , swine } hgue , corn stalk diseasestubereolosis. blackleg and
numerous others can prevented by giving Liquid Koal in drink
ing wat r , f-ecause they are germ diseases and no Kerm can live
wh re LiqMid Koal reaches it. Liquid Koal is unaffected oy ttie
