foods that she dare not eat and does
not care to eat her bill of fare is con-
fined to bread and butter, lemons and
lettuce.
Every day she is compelled to walk
ten miles, and in this hot weather the
exercise is far from agreeable. She
dresses in blue flannel, wears cork
colored shoes, q straw hat with q moist
sponge basted in the crown, and car
ries q double-lined umbrella. As the
object Of this exercise is to keep her
flesh down, she never fails to weigh
herself before starting out, so that she
knows exactly what reduction is neces-

long strips Of white flannel which are
coiled about her body spirally and laid

and dripping with perspiration, when
she is rubbed down with alcohol, re-
freshed with cold bullion and put to
bed. On her toilet as much care and
money are spent as if she were q prin-
cess. Every day she receives the visits
of q hair-dresser, manicure and pedi-
cure, and a bathing mistress prepares
her vapor baths.

There h Better Smecess Than Wealth.
A very rich business man OF Boston
told an interviewer the other day how
he began his business life on one dol
lar q week, and how he advanced from
that point to his present position by
being temperate, industrious and hon
est. He ended by saying: ANY young
man can do as we'll as I have done, II
he only will" +.
Young men know that this is not
true. Tens Of thousands Of young men
during the forty years OF that mer-
chants successful career, have been as
~virtuous as he, without making much
Roadway in business. They have been
punctual, diligent, faithful, and we'll
skilled in their vocation; but there
they are, about where they were years
ago, working hard for moderate COM
pensation, and seeing no prospect OF
much change.
1t is not possible for many men to
found great stores and make great for
tunes in them, for the simple season
that the largest city does not furnish
business for many such. These prizes
fall to the lot of the few individuals in
each trade who combine in themselves
great talent for business with great
tenacity Of purpose. They passion
ately want to succeed, and they know
how.
If our merchant had said that many
young men could do much better than
he had done, he would have come
nearer the truth. In most Of our great
and famous places Of business there are
clerks who have done great deal better
than their employers. We saw one the
other day, a young man aged 20, salary
$3.50 q year, whose father died ten
years ago, leaving q wife and four chill
dren with little provision. This clerk
was the eldest boy; he accepted the
sacred duty which devolved upon him
with cheerful courage. He has carried
It bravely along ever since, and has
in it a really brilliant success
Happy himself, and o cause Of happi-
ness to those dearest to him.
There are men whose natural voca-
ton it is to control millions of dollars,
and own a tedious superiority of other
things. Happily, most Of us are spared
this great trouble, and have n chance
to discover how little is required for q
truly successful and joyous existence.

Life Should Net be selfish.

Life is life, and we must make the hest
Of it. To live for self alone, for the
animal life, is not reasonable. And so
men, from their earliest existence, have
sought for some reason for living, aside
from the g~lorification of their " de-
sires; they live for their children, for
their families, for their nation, for hu-
mainly, for all that does not die with
the personal life.-TOlstOi.

The Acting Secretary Declined.

Mr.. Tweedale, the chief clerk of the
war department for many years, is act
ing secretary during Mr.. Proctor's
absence. Tweedale is a republican
whom the democrats did not dismiss
when they came i'll, for the very good
reason that his services were valuable.
One day this week a petulent and
rather pompous old gentleman came
into the war department and asksd to
see the secretary. He was told that
the secretary was not in the city, but
that he could see the acting secretary.
This was satisfactory and he was
shown to Mr.. Tweedale.
II am a republican. sir" he said as o
preliminary announcement, as he
planted himself firmly, with his legs
slightly spread apart. in front of Twee-
dale's desk. Il am here to make COM

"Well?" said she acting secretary.
SWELL, SIR" the old mar went on,
"you have here, sir, q man whose dis
missal l demand at once. L do not
know him, sir, l never saw him, but I
demand that he be put out, and l am
here to make this charge against him.
He grew gray in the service under the
republican party, and then, sir, when
the democrats came in he continued to
hold his position and to serve them. 1
