Their Good Luck.

1t is astonishing how many of our
successful business men attribute their
good fortune neither to luck nor gener-
al excellence of Judgment, but will tell
you how strict adherence to some
single rule has done it all for them.
Commodore Vanderbilt's receipt for
making millions with certainty and ce-
lerity was to never sign note VIM.
L. Dodge would not hold any pecuni-
AIRY interest in an enterprise that was
at all active on Sunday, aud he finally
believed that his wealth was a reward
for conscientiously observing she Sab
bath day the first John Jacob AS
tors voudoo charm lay in investing
nothing aside from his regular business
except in real estate and Alexander
L, Stewart would have anticipated mis-
fortune if he had wantonly broken the
smallest engagement.
Men of success can afford to prac-
tioe their theories, and even become
slaves to them Men of failure cannot
indulge such luxuries of conduct.

Taking a Bite of Wniskey.
A WAY INVENTED OF MAKING IT IN SOLID
PLUGS LIKE TOBACCO.

iobASSO'
M. G.. Peterman is German farmer
of Pittsburg suburbs, who has made a
wonderful invention-a new method
that will revoutionize modern whiskey
distilling. He has discovered a way
of making solidified whiskey making
it into pocket plugs, Just like tobacco.
Besides that he says he can also distil
it in liquid form so that it will be the
exact equivalent of two and three year
old whiskey, when it comes out of the
still. Last month persons from New
York offered him 100000 for his in
vention, and he came within an ace of
selling it to them, under the impression
that they were to make and sell only
in that S:ate, but discovering that they
were trying to secure it from him for
all the States he dismissed the offer. A
man can carry plug of whiskey in his
pocket, and when thirsty can phil it
out, dissolve a chip of it in a tumbler
of water, or else take ''chew," as he
would of tobacco. 1t would be espec-
tally valuable over the present liquid,
as it would save leakage. During bat
ties the whiskey carried by armies for
medicine or stimulants has been lost at
the time when needed most by the bar
rels or vessels being riddled by bullets,
The boxes containing solid whiskey
might be shattered, but during or after
the battle the cakes could easily be
gathered up uninjured Even if the
article were never manufactured at all,
Petermau's invention is valuable
in the wonderful Improvement it
makes in the distilling of liquid whis-
key. In very short time he expects
to be ready to show the world the
value of all his inventions. Nearly all
the machinery is patented, but the
article itself is not now, but soon will
be, patented. Peterman has made his
models entirely with peuknife, rounded
the boilers aud stills, curved the pipes
and followed them out inside. He
has a complete working distillery in
miniature embodying his inventions
aud all of it made, little by little, with
a penknife in the midnight hours after
days of hard farm labor. So Original
are his ideas on the subject, and Sc
complicated the devices, that no timer
or maclinist in Pttsburg would under
take to make him amodel; hence he
had to do il himself. 1t required month";
of patient toll.

How to Enjoy Good Health.

Nature is very much like shftless
child, who, the more he is helped, the
more he looks for it. The more medi-
cine man takes the more he will have
TO take, whether it be anodyne' tonic
or Alternative.
The thinnest veil or silk handker.
chief thrown over the face while riding
or walking against cold wind is re-
markably comfortably protection.
Never sit or stand with the wind
blowing on you for single moment,
for it speedily produces a chill, to be
followed with fever and then bad
cold. ..-
Exercise to the extent of great fatige
does more harm than good.
A hearty meal taken while excessive
ly fatigued has often destroyed life.
Chiliness of body dampeDs the spir-
its, sours he temper and renders the
whole man unlovely.
Cleanliness in all the surroundings
of family mansion pays richly in
many ways, in good health, moral ele-
vation, personal comfort and dollars
and cents besides.
Life ia warmth, growth, repair and
power to labor, aud all these are deriv.
| ed from the food we eat and the fluids
we drink, and these should be good.
AT every period of life, at all seasons
of the year, and from the tropics to the
poles, in every cline aud country, the
temperature of the human body in
health is the same to degree, that is,
ninety-eight of Fahrenheit ; hence we
should eat in winter mainly of warm
ing food, such as meats, fat, oils, sug-
ar and all the grains, farinas, starches;
in summer, the fruits and berries and
melons and vegetables of the field, the
garden and the orchard, which cool
and open and ventilate the system.
Nine-tenths of the inmates of insane
asylums who recover are those who are
sent within year after the first mani
festation of their intirmity.
The best anodyne in all nature is
moderate, steady and continuous exer-
else in the open air.
The worst cold may be promptly
cured if, within twenty four hours after
it has been taken, the patient will keep
warm in bed and eat little or nothing
for day or two.
In going ont into a colder air, keep
the mouth resolutely closed, and walk
briskly for a few minutes, thus prevent
ing chiliness. which is always the pre-
cursor of cold.
The portion of the body which most
requires protection against cod and
wind is that between the shoulder
blades behind, as it is at this point the
lungs are attached to the body, and the
blood is easily chilled.
To spend two or three moments on
rising and retiring, in rapid frictions OF
the whole surface of the body with the
hands is more rational trea, ment of
the skin, and a more health-promoi ing
operation, than daily cold-water
bath.
A good cleansing of the entire body
with soap and warm water once q
week is all the bathing the human sys'
TEN requires of health, in ordinary cir
cumstances. Halls Journal o,

The rabbit is probably the most pro-
ductive of the whole rodent genus a
single pair may be answerable for
population of half million within five
years, Originally natives of Spain,
the rabbits once multiplied in that
country, as we'll as in some of the
islands of the Mediterranean, in such
an alarming manner that the people APP
pealed for military aid to assist in their
destruction. And it was not until num-
bers of ferrets and weasels were intro
duced that the rabbit population began
to diminish. The quadrupeds of Aus
tralia are chiefly of the "marsupial' or
der and from the great kangaroo
down to the wombat and kangaroo rat
(both burrowers) nearly all of the tribe
are herbivorous. The dingo, or native
dog, is destructive only to sheep, while
the wildcat, though pretty common in
some parts, is not generally prevalent.
When, Therefore, the rabbit was first
landed in Australia the land was all be-
fore him where to choose. In the Off
cial Sydney market rate for January,
1878, the price of rabbits was quoted
from rs. Cd. to As, each, retail. Five
or six years later they were looked
upon as aggressive and destructive YER
min, and had so rapidly overrun large
tracts OF land as to become quite a
scare to the squatters. To-day every
phase of the Australian rabbit plague
is not only regarded as of vital interest
by the colonists, but subject of curl
osity and discussion throughout the civ
ilized world.

A NICE CAKE.-A delicious cake for
layer cake is made by taking two
whole eggs and the white Of the third
egg beat the whites and one large
cup of sugar until light, then add half
cup of butter and beat all until light,
then put in half a teaspoonful of sweet
milk. Put the baking powder with
the flour, in about the proportion of
two cups of flour. Stir this in a little
at time, and give it all good beat
ing before putting il in the tins; fla
vor to suit yourself. 1t is "a good plan
when making nice cake to bake little
bit of the dough in patty-pan be-
fore trusting the rest of it in the oven;
then you can see if it needs any at
tention. Sometimes the flour and
sugar vary in thickening qualities, and
exact results cannot be obtained with
out this precaution. If the cake is too
light add little flour, carefully sifted
in. If it is tough Little milk and
tritle of shortening may be added.

Officials of the Company Before the Com
mittee on Postoffices and Post Roads.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Cd. H. Bates, president
of tile Baltimore s. Ohio Telegraph Company,
and Robert Garrett, president pro tenn. of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, appeared
before the Senate committee on postoffiees and
post roads, to-day, to defend the interests of
that company in connection with the postal tele-
graph measures that committee has under con
sideraton. Mr.. Bates explanedwhat the Balti-
more & Ohio Telegraph Company expect to ac-
complish in the way of competition with the
Western Union. Then Mr.. Garrett addressed
the committee saying the B. & o. was prepared
to-day TO enter into a contract with the Post
office Department to transact the business of the
public upon some plan which will be satisfactory
to the public and profitable to the company
Senator Wilson asked what assurance could
be given, in case the committee
was unable to report a conclusion of
the matter, that at some not very distant day
the B. & o. would not enter into pooling ar
rangement with the Western Union company
Mr.. Garrett said that he could only point to the
history Of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
1any in the past, and in his turn asked how the
ttASSidpA OAipduy tOuiu SdllSly Iu6 COHlHllIDe6
IN the points preferred, and also that rates
would be maintained at tariff satisfactory to the
publicl Senator Hill said he had respect for the
Baltimore & Ohio company and its manage
ment, but the motives of the managers was the
same as those of the managers of other corpora
tions-to make money. Whenever it could be
made certain that more could be gained by con
solidation the consolidation would inevitably
take place. Combinations paid better than COM
petition. Garrett said he believed the day for
consolidation had passed. His company had made
contracts and expended its money, and wished to
know the views of the committee as to how it
could be satiied. The company was in earnest.
Senator Hill said there would come time when
the Western Union company would offer the B.
& 0. company four or five times as much for its
lines as they had cost. What guarantees could
be given that the company would not sell? Mr..
Garrett said the company had no objection to
giving any guarantee that could be devised.
Senator Wilson asked if, on the progress of in
quiry, the commission should be able, with the
aid of experts, TO determine what would be fair
average rates, considering the interests of the
company and the public. if the company would
accept such rates!
Mr.. Garrett said the company's inclination
would be to accept any reasonable rates fixed by
any practical commission. If the government
fit to enter into agreement with the Balti-
more & Ohio company the latter would be pre-
pared to guarantee the completion of its lines
quicker than the government could build, and to
limit its rates

A DIVIDED MINISTRY.

Hesitation and Weakness When Resolution
and Strength Are Needed.
Gable Special
The English Ministry is in the last stage of
imbecility, irresoluton and division. Mr.. Glad
stone, feeble in body, feebler in brain, can not
be got to make up his mindon anything He re-
fuses to talk politics. leaves his colleagues
utterly at sea till the last moment and in the
House sits pale, mournful and distracted.
Young and energetic men like Chamberlain and
Dixie, in vain demanding strong measures and a
straightforward policy, rage impotently while
Harrington, who wants the old man away, and
does not care much what happens, sulks silently.
Hareourt, baked and discredited looks aweary
OF the world, and the Liberals generally sit in
dumb bewilderment The collapse of the
Egyptian debate on the first night of the SEES
sion, the miserable personal recriminations and
the obstructive motions for adjournment which
followed, the entire arrangement of business and
the loss OF head by everybody, exhibit the English
Parliament in impotence and disorder at the
moment when the agony of national crisis de
mands calmness, union and resolution. The
chorus of disapprOval against the Egyptian
policy OF Gladstone is unbroken save by the tiny
voice of hack partisan journals, while the stanch
ly radical Pail Mall Gazette, the humanitarian
Spectator and the intensely Gladstoneite pro
yincial press swell the denunciations of the

and in the midst of all this cataclysmic gloom
Gladstone still metaphysicaly bubbles, declares
Gordon one day an English General and the next
