Few people are aware of the effect Of
peculiar kind of dissipation known as
ginger drinking. The article used is the
essence of ginger, such as is put up in the
several proprietary preparations known
to the trade, or the alcoholic extract ordi-
narily sold over the druggists counter.
Having once acquired liking for it, the
victim becomes as much slave to his APP
petite as the opium eater or the votary Of
cocaine. In its effect it is much the most
injurious of all such practices. for in the
course of time it destroys the coating Of the
stomach and dooms its victim to slow
and agonizing death. The druggist who
told me about the thing says that as gin
ger essence contains about 100 per cent.
alcohol, and whisky less than so per cent,
the former is therefore twice as intoxicat-
ing. In fact, this is the reason why it is
used by hardened old topers whose stom-
achs are no longer capable of intoxicating
stimulation from whisky. They need the
more powerful agency of the pure alcohol
in the ginger extract.
He told me he had two regular GUS
toners. woman, who had contracted the
habit through employing the ginger on
several occasions for stomachic pains.
The relief it afforded her was SO grateful
that she took to it upon any recurrence Of
her trouble. She found, too, that the
slight exhilaration of the alcohol banished
mental depression. In this way she got
to using it regularly, and finally to such
excess that she was often grossly intoxi-
Gated. Large doses produce quiet
stupor; additional doses produce a pro-
found lethargic slumber, which lasts in
some cases for twenty-four hours. His
other customer was Il peddler, who came at
a certain hour every morning, bought .
four ounce bottle, and drank its contents
by noon. The man craved the stuff so
ardently that he was unable to go about
his business until he had set the machinery
Of his stomach in operation, and started
he circulation of the blood by means of
the fiery draught. He says that the habit
is well known to the drug trade.-BrOok-

RULES FOR GETTING RICH.


The best merchant is he whose business
talent is of the highest order and improved
to the highest pitch.
OF all quarrels, the most senseless, the
most bootless, the most worrying, is quarrel
with your circumstances
Every man has three characters - that
which he exhibits, that which he has and
that which he thinks he has
Half of the heavy hearts and broken spirits
and sleepless eyes among our merchants
might be spared were they only willing to
conform their appearances to their substance
Many merchants object too much. consult
too long, advertise too little, and seldom
drive business home to the full period, but
content themselves with a mediocrity o.
success.
Some men seem to take failure quite COM
fortably; they stop and go on again, without
changing their style of living or lowering
their heads. That is feat that no honest
business man can admire
In business there are many who cannot
rise, many who cannot help descending,
many who of necessity fail, many who earn
their bread, and many who only waste it
when once in their own hands.
Great merit or great failings will make
you respected or despised, but trifles, little
attentions, mere nothings, either done or
neglected, will make you either liked or dis
liked in the general run of the world.
The true merchant is not the man who best
understands his business and contrives to
bargain others out of their reasonable profits,
but he who best understands his business
and never takes advantage of any mans ig-
norance or any mans necessity.
Leading articles" in commerce, like lead
ing articles in journalism, are meant to make
character for the whole. But it is ques-
tionnble whether a merchant is justified in
taking such modes Of attracting the atten-
ton of the public unless be has actural ad-
vautages to 0fTer.-New York Mail and Ex-
