SueeeSs I'm Business.

The success of many men In business Is won
dered at by others who fail and all sorts of
reasons are invented in explanation. In many
cases the difference might be found in better
health. While the man who Is i'll half the
time (or who is only half welD is compelled TO
give large part of bis time and attention to
the care of his person, the one who is well can
give all his time and attention 10 the pushing
of his business. And the man of one thought
or of all thought concentrated on his business
will have many more chances than the one who
is compelled to divide his time and attention

enabled TO forget all bodily ills because they have
been cured, and then achieves business success

change was wrought
From an editor Mr.. A. L. Cheney, Port JEFF

lied this happy transformation, comes the fol-

SCIENTIFIC CHAT.

AN account Is given in the Revue Scientifqus Of
an italian method Of preserving bodies In soft and
flexible state for several months and by this means
enabling them to be dissected without any danger
to the preparatOr or the anatomist- To this end
they placed in some sort of receptacle other
and covered wth layer of the thiekest and purest
honey that can be obtained III t be desired TO pre-
serve an entire cadayer by this simple and inex-
psnsive process, the plan pursued is to begin by
carefully filing the encephalic thoracic, and ab-
dOmiuaI cavities With sufficient quantity of tannin.
This process, when conducted with care, is stated
to give remarkable results, a corpse thus prepared
appearing for several months to be asleep. In a
sense. the alcoholic fermentation that occurs under
these circumstances serves as food while preserv
ing its softness and hexibility To degree strongly
resembling that Of real life. When the fermenta-
ton ceases, hardening of the parts occurs. and
renders the artistic forms of the body still more
marked.
"A curious controversy, the Lance, says. Is GO
Ing on over the question as TO whether there is
really any need of or value In the mastication of
food the negative being stoutly affirmed by some
who should be authorities" The Lancet's own
view Is that, a matter Of net and experience q
liberal use of the teeth in feeding is of the
sentials Of easy digestion, and though we are not
prepared to assert that 1t is necessary to bite each
morsel of meat precisely . times il Is better to
on the side OF masticating too much than on that
OF not masticaing enough; fEst 10 divide the food
and crush its hbers and particles generally, and,
secondly, to mix 10 so thoroughly with the secre-
ton from the saliyary glands that not only shall
the act of degiuttiOn be rendered easy, but that
the food when il enters the stomach shall have
been properly prepared for digestion in the gastric
juice.
DIR. Engram, of Buena Vista. Ca, visited a ne
gro woman who had congestive chill. He thought
she would die very soon, but prepared some brandy
and ammonia to inject hypodermically for tempo
rary relief When he returned to the patient she
was puIseIess her heart had ceased beating. she
was apparently dead. As experiment, he says,
with no expectation of the results that followed,
he inserted the syringe directly the heart and
pressed it slowly until he thought that il touched
| that organ, and injected the brandy and ammonia.
Very soon the heart began beating feebly. before
long the pulse perceptible and at last accounts
| the woman was getting well.

His Wicked Schema

A Detroit man has invented base plan for
deceiying his trusting wife. A friend observed
him about to mail postal card addressed to
himself, and questioned him. The friend was
told to look on the other side, which was held
up for his inspection, and he read:
BROTHER BLANK: There will be n meeting Of the
i. D. o. s. B. No. $50, at the hall the evening Of
Oct 10 to transact special business. Members nos
present will be fined SIS.
J. CAREY, Secretary.
"Yes, but I don't exactly catch on" protested
the innocent. "Oh, you don't! Well, got the
cards printed myself. The society is all a
myth. When / want to get out of an evening
direct one of those postals to my house. When
i reach home my wife hands il 10 me with a
sigh. / offer to stay at home and stand the
fine Of SIS, but she won't have it that way.
That's all, my friend-except that the same
scheme is worked by hundreds of others, and
our poor deluded wives haven't tumbled to the
racket yet"

A LIVELY CHASE.

velous. Several pieces of artillery were
taken and retaken as many as five or SIX
times during the day.
But during all the fray the pennant of
Kilpatrick waved on the front line, and the
charges Of his three gallant regiments
WERE NOT SURPASSED
by any body Of troops on that field. Under
the eagle eye Of that superb officer, Gen.
Pleasonton, the waves Of battle flowed back
and forth, neither side gaining any decisive
victory. Just at night our cavalry with
drew 10 the river and recrossed, having ac-
complished the object Of the advance, which
was 10 unmask the movement of Lees army
and fully satisfy Gen. Hooker Of his march
toward the North.
But what of Co. L Of the 10th n. Y, which
was piclleting in front of Russells infantryP
AS night approached and the sound of bat
tie ceased, this squad Of 30 or 40 troopers
began 10 suspect that our troops had been
withdrawn, and they left alone three or four
miles in advance of Rappahannock Station.
Confederate cavalry appeared in front and
on the TANKS, crowding up uncomfOrtably
close. Soon convinced that his surmise was
correct, Capt. Vanderbilt saw that if he was
10 save his little command from capture,
something must be done at once. Collect
ing his men, he in quiet and leisurely
manner commenced his withdrawal. The
Confederate cavalry, fearful lest this little
prize should escape crowded closer and
closer, until the sober and dignifed march
10 the rear had become a stampede, and IL
was only question Of which party
HAD THE BEST HORSES
whether Capt Vanderbilt and his men
should Join the regiment or take Southern
trip. Down the road came our boys their
horses on a dead run, with the COnfederates
lust behind cutting the dust under the
horses heels with their revolver shots. The
brave Captain watched his little band and
allowed none 10 be left behind. When the
horse of Andy CHM stumbled and fell, the
Captain stopped, and calling one or two men
10 his assistance helped him to his seat in
the saddle and on they went Canteens
blankets and hayersacks were scattered In
wild confusion along the line OF their re-
treat.
Just as they emerged from the wood in
view of our troops at Rappahannock Station,
the futter Of the little company guidon in
formed the artllerists who they were, and
few shots from the battery sent their tor
mentors back. They crossed the river with
some tired horses and badly scared men.
Their escape from capture was due to the
cool head and good Judgment of their Cap
tain.
The next morning found us in camp, this
time preparing for longer march, which in
a few days began, and only stopped when we
reached Gettysburg. But many Of the noble
men and officers who were with us in the ad-
vance that morning did not return with US.
Our brave and accomplished Col. Irvine was a
prisoner, Levi Robb was run through with a
saber, and scores of our comrades were
killed or wounded. The Confederate cav

they never forgot; il gave them a profound

he got the money or not Is not known. but
more than likely he did, as he skipped the

A Deaf Mute Up TO Snuff.


There is deaf mute in the Treasury Depart
ment who has beer there for a long time and is
an excellent clerk. The other day he had a
scare. he was busily engaged at his desk writ
ing, when fellow-clerk came up 10 him and
began 10 talk TO him in the sign language.
The Secretary is going TO go for YOU" said
the clerk with his fingers
The mute clerk looked up surprised. "Why,
what have done2" he asked with his fingers.
"Oh, the Secretary has heard tales about you
and hear you are about TO be discharged"
The deaf mute clerk looked bewildered.
"Why?" his fingers asked.
"Some people have told the Secretary that
You have been around the hotel corridors talk
ing in a loud and boisterous manner against
the administration"
An expression of relief came across the mute
clerks face when he heard the reason, and his
fingers replied: 81 can prove an alibi."

"Not Worth Their Salt.D

Gen. Lord wolseley, Adjutant- General, has
issued circular to the officers Of the English
army intimating that the Duke of Cambridge,
Chief, is dissatisfied over the
small progress made In their military training.
During the recent inspections, the circular
states, the Duke observed that many officers of
all ranks eyinced much want of knowledge of
the duties vitality important to military efi-
cheney, and he strongly insists that the officers
shall devote more time and attention TO the in
struction of their troops. The 50. James Gazette
says that the Duke Of Cambridge, In the free
dom OF private conversation, expresses the
opinion that many of the officers in the British
army are "not worth their SALT" and he finds
that he has been obliged to address them in a
circular which would scandalize the whole
