FAILURES IN BUSINESS.

Peter Cooper failed in making hats, fail
ed as cabinet maker, locomotive builder,
and grocer, but as often as he failed, he
"tried again, until he could stand upon
his feet alone; then he crowned his vic
tory by giving Sl,OOO,OOO to help poor
boys in time to come
Horace Greeley tried three or four lines
Of business before he founded the Tribune
and made it worth 81 100000
The founder of the New York Herald
kept on failing and sinking his money for
ten years, and then made one of the most
profitable newspapers on the earth.
Stephen A. Douglass made dinner ta-
bles and bedsteads and bureaus, many a
long year before he made himself the in
tellectual and oratorical giant on the floor
of Congress.
Abraham Lincoln failed to make both
ends meet by chopping wood failed to
earn his salt in the galley-slave life of a
Mississippi fiat -boatman he had not even
wit to run grocery and yet he made a
grand character Of himself in the 10th
century
General Grant failed at everything ex-
cept smoking a cigar he learned to tan
hides, but couldn't sell leather enough to
buy Il pair of breeches. A dozen years
ago he brought up on top of a woodpile,
''teaming it to town for $40 per month,
and yet he stands at the head of a great

An Irish Shanty Papered with United
States Bonds,
Chicago Tribune

Detective McAuley tells rather strange
story, which he has kept locked up in his
bosom for seven years. He couldn't hold
it any longer than yesterday, when he
unraveled his little yarn in this wise: He
was informed that boy had slipped into
store on State street, near Eighteenth,
and, while the proprietor's back was turn
ed, made an indiscriminate grab in cash
box in safe, the door of which was left
open. The haul consisted of large roll
OF United States 500 bonds, registered
and issued but a short time before. and a
small sum in postal currency Mack learn
ed that the boy lived in an old house with
widowed mother at Haas Park, and went
out there in search of him. On entering
the shanty he was astonished at the pecul
iarity of the paper on the wall and was
more struck on beholding that it was the
identical pile of 5-2Os that he was in ouest
Of all nicely matched and pasted tightly
to the wall. Here was Job. and Mack
pulled off his coat, and prepared for the
work of stripping off the paper 1t took
him nearly all day, but he recovered every
bond, while the old lady looked on in ming.
led fear and wonder, and calculated. What
are they good for? Sure, and me boy
brought thin here long time ago, and /
thought they was only bits of old paper
But if yere an officer | suppose it's all
right
Mack moistened, pulled, and slowly
worked away until he stripped the wall of
every bond The whitewash came off
freely with them, but they were all there,
and Mack took them to their owners and
received their earnest thanks for his
arduous task in their behalf The lad
who stole. them was not at all aware of
their value

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE EAR,

Never pick or scratch the canals of the
ear with pins, pencils, or scoops 1t will
eventually cause troublesome inhamma-
ton and subsequent deafness.
Do not try to wash the canals of the
ears with so-called aurilaves or end of the
towel, or even with the fingers. Such
treatment produces impaction of the wax
and is not necessary to cleanliness.
DO not try to remove the wax with the
ear-scoop. There is danger of injuring
the drumheads or of causinginfammation
Have some competent person inspect the
parts with the ear mirror and remove the
wax with the syringe charged with warm
water. This is the best way to remove
any foreign body from the external audi
tory canal Only occasionally other
means are required. The parts should
always be under inspection.
A discharge from the ear is always
fraught with danger. 1t should never be
neglected. Occasionally it stops itself,
but frequently leads to dangerous COM
plications, such as inflammation of the
brain, disease of the surrounding bone,
and may set up Inflammation in other
parts of the body, as the lungs, bowels,
etc.
The middle ear, from which the dis
charges generally comes, is small but ex-
ceedingly vulnerable. 1t is surrounded
ON all sides by vital organs, the partition
wall being very thin. Swinging with
warm water in such cases is absolutely
essential and unaccompanied by any dan
ger whatever
Under proper treatment there is no
danger of driving in the discharge, which
is neither "healthy sign" nor safety
valve"
Never keep the canal blocked up with
cotton or anything else while discharge is
present
The ear requires fresh air and is not
likely to become more infamed by its ad-
mittance, unless exposed to direct draft,
which should be avoided.

tue.
Wetting the hair, especially when it is
long, and allowing it to dry slowly often
produces deafness and aggravates it when
already present.-JiedicaI Investigator.

\ stranger. about as broad aero

A stranger, about as broad across the
shoulders as an extension table, says the
Detroit Free Press, was eating a free lunch
in Randolph street saloon yesterday,
when three roughs came in. They SEEM
ed to take an antipathy to the stranger at
first sight, and it wasn't long before one
of them said he could lick any man who
who ever wore red hair. The stranger
glanced over that way, but said nothing.
"And can whip any man with wart ON
his nose," said the second. The stranger
chewed away on his crackers as if he did
not hear, and the third man said: "Tm
just aching to knock the head off of some
country galoot." Even that didn't move
the stranger, and finally one of the trio
walked over to the table, looked at him in
contempt and deliberately spat upon the
strangers boot. He waited to drink the
rest of his beer, then got up, gave himself
shake, and knocked the roughs down
one after the other, striking with both hsts
and awful blows. He waited for them to
get up, and as they dropped themselves
into chairs to analyze their feelings, he
quietly remarked, allow do you like it as
far as you've gone" They hadn't word
to say, and he walked out.
