THE CLERKS WHO RISE.

Many clerks continue in subordinate posi-
tions ali their lives because they are of no
special value to their employers. fla clerk
wishes to rise, he must make his services so
valuable to the house that they cannot afford
to do without them. =: l##~.a ;l-...
1t is not enough, in order to acquire this
special value, to be handy and willing He
must also gaia such knowledge Of the bus-
ness as to be master of all its details.
Sir John Walmsley, rich merchant of
Liverpool, began on salary of 940 year.
His employers were grain merchants, and the
young man, determined to rise, set about ac-
quiring a knowledge of grain.
The man who had charge of the warehouse
of the firm prided himself on knowing grain
better than any one in Liverpool. Finding
the clerk anxious to learn, the old warehouse
man was willing to teach him.
Twice week, before, breakfast, and long
before office hours, they would 60 together to
the store and ships. "Old Peter" as he was
called, would show The pupil samples of vari-
Gus kinds of grain. At first the number be-
wildered the youth. But perseverance ena-
bled him, in time, to master all the mysteries
of grain, such as quality, weight, condition
and origin.
Old Peter would take handful Of all sorts
Of grain, English, Irish, American, Scotch
and European, and spreading them on table,
ask his pupil to tell all the characteristics of
each sample.
No one knew of these early lessons, and the
employer wondered at the clerks knowledge
of the business. Customers soon found out
that the youth knew more about grain than
apv one in the establishment and consulted
him.
One day the firms "traveler" and salesman
resigned. It was the best position in their
employ, and they at once promoted young
Walmsley to it. His superior knowledge of
the business justified their jumping him over
the heads of the other clerks.
The rise, though a great one, found the
youth abundantly able to meet its responsible
tiles. He had so trained himself that his en-
ployers recognized his value When the term
of his clerkship expired, several offers Of part
nership were made him, one of which he &C.
cepted. He rose to wealth and honor, be-
cause he made himself valuable tU his en-
ployers

The QUESTION OF FooD-Fish as food,
for all classes, weight for weight, has very
nearly as much solid nutriment as butchers
meat, game or poultry; while, containing a
substance called iodine, which is not found in
land animals, it has tendency to correct
scrofulous and consumptive habit. Fisher
men, who naturally live largely on fish, are
especially strong, healthy and prolific, In
no class are there found larger families, hand
somer women, and greater exemption from
human maadies. To what extent these re-
suits follow fish diet is as yet matter Of
conjecture. But iodine is the universal rem
edy up to this time for scrofulous disease.
Meats contain the most nitrogen; the nitro.
genous portions of our food makes flesh, and
20 to supply the wear and tear, and wastes of
the body; these and are ultimately passed
from the system in urine. If more nitrogen
GUS food is eaten than is needed to supply
these wastes, nature converts it more rapidly
into living tissues, which are with correspond
ing rapidity, broken down and converted into
urine. That is when the food is digested
but when 80 much is eaten that it cannot be
digested, nature takes alarm, as it were, and
endeavors to remedy the trouble in one of
three ways. The stomach rebels and casts it
off in disgust by vomiting tits worked out of
the system by an attack Of diarrhda, or the
human beast is made so uncomfortable gen.
orally that he cant't be still; if he goes to
bed, he tosses and tumbles half the night; if
he don't 90 to bed, be is taken with the 6dg-
cts and can't be easy in one position for half
a minute at time, so that in one way or
an other, he is compelled to do an amount of
muscular effort necessary to work off the sur
plus; and, as a further punishment, his ap-
petite is more or less destroyed for several
meals afterwards. Little or no nitrogen is
poured off with the perspiration, breathing
or feces.- Raverly Magazine.

How A YOUNG LADY Won $5,OOO.-But
here comes one Of my favorites, writes the
Boston correspondent of the San Francisco
Bulletin. Isn't she fnelooking? No? Well,
listen while 1 tell you her story, and learn
why I like her looks. Some years ago, a
man who had more money than good reputa-
tion, advertised that he would give $4,000 to
an respectable white woman who would
W kunveiled from the Adams House entrance
down Washington street with him, at an hour
when all the fasbionables were promenading.
For weeks that offer remained untaken, for
his reputation was such that no respectable
woman would be seen with him, and the ad-
vertisement had said "that none others need
apply" Finally. this woman who has just
passed us agreed to his terms and to join him
at the appointed place and time. When the
hour came, Mr.. - was on hand. Soon
carriage drove up with the lady. It had
been noised abroad that the offer had been
taken up, and quite crowd had gathered to
see him pay his $4,000. He hel ped her alight,
offered her his arm and walked few steps
with her, when she removed her veil at his
request and revealed to his gaze face as
DlaCK as nlgnI. gu nave uecelVeu ue,
he said "this is not fair" 81 am not ne
gro" she replied, and to prove it she pulled
off her gloves and showed pair of hands as
white as yours at this minute The man
turned toward the carriage, paid her the
$4,000 and she drove off, leaving him to the
laughter and boots of the amused crowd Of
bystanders. 1t turned out afterwards that
the girl was very poor, and that she had a
magnificent voice that she could not cultivate
for want of money, and this is the way she
overcame that obstacle. She went to Europe
and studied five years and has returned one
of our most brilliant singers. You can tell
from her proud bearing and refined appear.
ance that she is just the sort of woman to do
such thing with dignity and come out none
the worse for it either.

DEADENING PAIN.-The last number of
the Medical Record contains notice of new
and curious method of deadening pain, which
is of striking simplicity. 1t was discovered
by DR.. Bonwill, dentist of Philadelphia, in
1875. In using the method, the operator
merely requests the patient to breathe rapid
ly, making about one hundred respirations per
minute, ending in rapid putting expirations.
At the end of from two to five minutes an en-
tire or partial absence of pain results for half
q minute or more, and during that time teeth
may be drawn or incisions made. The pa
tient may be in any position, but that recon-.
mended is lying on the side, and it is general
ly believed best to throw handkerchief over
the face to prevent distraction of the patients
attention. When the rapid breathing is first
begun the patient may feel some exhilaration;
following this comes sensation of fulness in
the head or dizziness. The face is at first
flushed, and afterward pale or even blush, the
heart beats rather feebly and fast, but the
sense of touch is not affected, nor is conscious
ness lost. The effect is produced in females
more readily than in males, and in the middle
aged more readily than in the old; children
can hardly be made to breathe properly. 1t
is denied that there is any reasonable danger.
Several minor operations, other than frequent
dental ones, have been successfully made by
this method, and it is claimed that in dentist
ry, mino. surgery and obstetrics, it may sup
plant the common anasthetics. DR.. Hewson's
explanation is, rapid breathing diminishes the
oxygenation of the blood, and that the result
ant excess of carbonic acid temporarily poi
SONS the nerve centres. DR.. Bonwill gives
several explanations, one being the specific et-
feet of carbonic acid another the diversion
of will:force produced by rapid voluntary
muscular action, and third, the damming up
of the blood in the brain, due to the excessive
amount of blood passing through the lungs.
The Record is not satisfied with the theories,
but considers it we'll proved that pain may be
deadened by the method, which it commends
to the profession for the exact experimental
determination of its precise value.

settlers of the price, terms, etc., on which
they were ready to dispose of the land, but
the settlers refused either to buy, rent or va
cate the lands. In October, 1873, M. d.
Hartt, w. J. Crow and others made applica.
tion to purchase certain pieces Of land, made
part payment, and received contracts for
deeds. On showing their papers to the set
tiers and asking possession their request was
denied. In 1878 suits were commenced, and
last December judgments were rendered in
favor of the railroad company. The settlers
refused still to vacate. Hartt frequently by
letter importuned President Stanford and the
Directors of the company to put him in pos
session. The company finally decided that
further delay or attempts at compromise
would be productive of no good effect. and
got out writs which were given to United
States Marshal Poole for service, with the re.
suit indicated in the dispatches received from
the scene of action.
The railroad authorities claim that in all
cases they have given the settlers a first
chance to purchase, and only Oh their declin-
ing have given others an opportunity to buy.
They further claim that the rates they have
fixed on their lands are ia almost every case
materially lower than those demanded by the
settlers for similar lands.
1t will be remembered that about year
ago Perry G. Phillips. one of the lessees of
the railroad lands, put tenant in possession
of the tract leased to him. A band of
masked and mounted men surrounded his
house in the night, took out the tenant and
his family, burned the house and would not
afterwards allow Phillips to cultivate under
his lease, because he had by that lease recog-
nized the railroad title. The company are
in possession of no intelligence regarding to-
days tragedy in addition to that already re-
caived
