WHY MEN FAIL.-FeW men come
up to their highest measure of sue
cess. Some fail through timidity, or
lack of nerve. They are unwilling
to take the risks incident to life, and
fail through fear of venturing on or
dinary duties. They lack pluck.
Others fail through. imprudence.
Judgment. They over estimate the
future, and build air castles, and
venture beyond their depth, and fail
and fall. Others, again, fail through
lack of application and perseverance.
They begin with good resolves, but
soon get tired of that, and want
a change, thinking they can do
much better at somethingelse. Thus
they fritter life away, and succeed
at nothing. Others waste time and
money, and fail for want of economy.
Many fail through ruinous habits;
tobacco, whisky, and beer spoil them
for business, drive their best custom
from them, and scatter theif pros
poets of success. Some fail for want
of brains, education, and fitness for
their calling; they lack know
ledge of human nature and of the
motives that actuate men. They
have not qualified themselves for
their occupation by practical educa-

The popular idea of how the war cy.
cloramas, like the Battle Of Gettysburg,
Battle of Shiloh, Battle of Chickamauga,
etc., are painted appears very laughable
to a person who knows how the work is
accomplished. The Battle of Gettysburg
and the Siege of Paris have been shown
for several years on opposite sides of
Hubbard court, in Chicago, and the stock
paid large dividends. Each was adver.
tised as the work of celebrated French
artists, father and son, and the popular
idea is that these gentlemen painted them.
The fact is that, beyond general out
lining of the work, which was probably
faithfully made after maps procured from
authentic sources and general direction
of the plan of the work, the artist in
chief had very little to do with it. No
man engaged in a battle sees it, and an
accurate painting Of two armies in COM
bat is impossible. The general features
only are known. For instance, in the
Gettysburg painting there are accurately
defined the roads, Crown Hill, Little Crown
Hill the wheat field in which memorable
charge was made, one or two buildings
which We're headquarters of the leading
,
the topography of the country is de-
picted with excellent perspective. But
the details of the battle, the actual clash
of arms between this and that division
or brigade, is left good deal to the
imagination.
The artst-in-chief hires some men to
put in the sky, other men to put in the
trees and foliage, other men to put in
the men in action. Attention is paid to
developing this or that memorable Incl
dent, as in the Gettysburg painting, the
death of the cannoneer, the amputation
of the soldiers limb beside the haystack.
Take it all together, it makes up a
picture that is thrilling enough to arouse
the most intense interest on the part Of
the old soldier. remember standing by
the side of veteran at the Chicago
picture of Gettysburg. He was explain
ing to a companion the details of the
| fight, in which he had borne an honor
able part. Say Bill" said he, ''at that
stone wall there lost my hat, and, by
gosh, if there amt the old hat lying
there yeti" In painting pictures of bat
| ties shrewd artists never fail to bestrew
the field with lost hats, muskets and
canteens. in Globe-Democrat.

A List of Health Suggestions.

The hot pastry and iced drinks of this
country have much to do with the thin
ness of its people.
Disordered digestion in adults is often
the outcome of being compelled or in
duced to eat rich food in childhood.
Up to middle life most people are care
less regarding their physical condition,
hence persons who ought to live long
lives have their days curtailed. The
time to pay strict attention to the bodily
health is during the vigorous portion of
life.
1t is quite common practise to dose
infants with teas, oils and sweetened
waters when any real or imaginary i'll is
upon them. In some cases it is necessary
to REINFORCE the natural supply of nour-
ishment, but where possible, natures
fount should be relied on chiefly.
For those who hurry to and from their
meals soup is recommended as a prepara-
tory agent for the reception of solid food.
For man to hurriedly rush to his meals
and gulp down meat, vegetables and pie,
without a short pause of rest for the
stomach, is nearly akin to suicide.
Toasting bread destroys the yeast germs
and converts the starch into soluble
substance which is incapable of fermen-
tation. Dry toast will not sour the
stomach nor produce any discomfort, and
is. therefore, more agreeable to weak
digestion than any other bread.
A STOPPING position, maintained for
any length of time, tends more to under
mine the health than is supposed. An
erect position should be observed, whether
sitting, standing or lying. To sit with
the body leaning forward on the stom-
ach or to one side, with the heels ele-
waited on a level with the hands, is not
only in bad taste, but exceedingly detri-
mental to health; it cramps the stomach,
presses the vital organs, interrupts the
free motion of the chest and enfeebles
the functions of the abdominal and tho
racic organs, and, in fact, unbalances the
whole muscular system. Household.

Nowadays when a man travels there is
no reason, if he visits some country that
has not been exhausted, why he should
not bring back many solid and accurate
facts of scientific value, even though he
may lack extended training in science.
Both the English and the Germans have
comprehensive hand books compiled by
the most notable authorities, giving the
traveller manifold hints how Is make his
wanderings useful to the world They
show him in the simplest possible manner
the methods Of making route maps, of
ascertaining most easily and accurately
the width and velocity OF rivers, the
height of mountains, ATTITUDES, longitudes
and SO on. They point out the facts he
needs to observe to give biologists the
clearest idea of the physical structure Of
country. They show him how to make
and preserve collections in natural his
tory, supply hints on surveying and pho
Biography, and tell him just what to do to
make his observations valuable.
If, in addition 90 those hints, he desires
preliminary instruction and practical
field training. ample provisions to meet
his wants have been supplied by the
geographical societies in London, Paris
and Berlin, where at moderate cost lin
London only two shillings and sixpence
an hour) he is drilled in surveying and
mapping, geology, including field train
ing, geological survey, botany, and pho
Biography. This is all the preliminary
training that many of our most eminent
explorers. including Stanley, have re.
ceived. Many ingenious devices and ex-
pedients have also been invented to facili-
tate the work Of the explorer, of which
we need only mention here the French
color plates, each tint having its own
number, by means of which the traveller
is able to give far more accurate idea of
the color of the people he meets than he
could convey by any description. The
invention of dry plates in photography
also has been great boon to explorers. -

Slaves and Railroads.

As whole nation we are not greatly
concerned to inquire into the prospects Of
African commerce. We are not bound
to consider closely whether good or bad
trade will be the outcome of the recent
agreement between France, Germany,
and Great Britain on the affairs of Fan
zibar, or what will be the trade results of
our own recent great acquisition Of en-
elusive influence in the southern parts Of
the country. 1t must yet be borne in
mind that trade questions are themselves
intimately bound up with the rescue of
the African from his tyrants; seeing that
commerce, as it is at present conducted
in many parts of Eastern Central Africa,
even that larger kind Of commerce with
which the white man eventually deals at
the sea coast cmporia, necessarily
involves the employment of slaves as
carriers.
In roadless regions inhabited by people
who are too primitive to breed cattle,
and where belts of country infested by
the tsetse fly have to be crossed, none
but human beasts of burden can bear, he
products of industry. An elephant may
be killed a thousand miles from the
coast, and each tusk is the burden of a
| negro slave to the nearest seaport, while
it will have taken three or four negroes
to carry the calico required to pay the
elephant hunter in the interior. Slavery
and slave carriage is.therefore at present
