.CARNEGIE'S ADVICE.
The Pittsburgh Millionaire Tells How
Young Man Can Succeed.

The Pittsburgh Millionaire Tells How a
Young Man Can Succeed.
You are about to start in life, and it
is well that young men should begin at
the beginning, and occupy the most
subordinate positions Many OF the
business men of Pittsburgh had a seri
Gus responsibility thrust upon them at
the very threshold of their career.
They were introduced to the broom.
and spent the first hours of their bust
ness lives sweeping out the office.
Twas a sweeper myself, and who do
you suppose were my fellow-sweepers?
David McCargo. now superintendent of
the Allegheny Valley railroad; Robert
pitcairn, superintendent of the Penn
sylvania railroad. and Mr.. Moreland.
city attorney of Pittsburgh.
Begin at the beginning, but aim high.
] would not give fig for the young
man who does not already see himself
the partner or the head of some i'm
portant firm
There are three dangers inyour path;
the first is the drinking Of liquor, the
second is speculation, and the third is
When / was a telegraph operator in
Pittsburgh, knew all the men who
speeulated. They were not our cltl-
zens of first repute; they We're regard
ed with suspicion. l have lived to see
all of them ruined, bankrupt in money
and bankrupt in character. There is
scarcely AN instance of man who has
made a fortune by speculation and kept
1t. The man who grasps the morning
papers to see how HE speculative vent
ures are likely to result units himself
for the calm consideration and proper
solution of business problems. with
which he has to deal later in the day,
and saps the source of that persistent
and concentrated energy upon which
depend the permanent success and
often the very safety of his main bust
ness. The thorough man Of business
know that only by years of patient, I'M
rer,itting attention to affairs can he
earn his reward. which is the result not
of chance. but Of well-devised means
for the attainment of ends
Nothing is more essential to young
business men than untarnished credit.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1889-02-28

and nothing kills credit sooner than
the knowledge in any bank board that
a man engages in speculation. How
can man be credited whose resources
may be swept away in one hour by a
panic among gamesters? Resolve to
be business men, but spectators never.
The third danger is the perilous
habit OF indorsing notes. It appeals
to your generous instincts, and you
say: ''How can l refuse to lend nv
name only, to assist a friendpm 1t is
because there is so much that is true
and commendable in that view that the
practice is so dangerous. If you owe
any thing. all your capital and all your
| effects are a solemn trust in your hands
to be held inviolate for the security of
those who have trusted you. When a
man in debt indOrses for another, it is
not his own credit or his own capital
that he risks, it is the money of his
own creditors. Therefore, l say that
if you are ever called upon to indorse,
never do it unless you have cash means
not required for your own debts, and
never indo rse beyond those means.
Assuming that you are safe in regard
to these, your gravest dangers-drink-
ing, specializing and indorsing-the
question is: How to rise? The rising
man must do something exceptional,
and beyond the range of his special de-
partment. He must attract attention.
A shipping clerk may do so by discov-
erlng in an invoice an error with which
he has nothing to do, and which has
escaped the attention of the proper
person. If a weighing clerk, he may
save for the firm by doubling the ad-
Justment of the scales, and having
them corrected. Your employer must
| find out that he has not got a mere
| hireling in his service, but man; not
one who is content to give so many
hours of work for so many dollars in
return, but one who devotes his spare
hours and constant thoughts to the
business.
Our young partners in Carnegie
Brothers have won their spurs by
showing that we did not know half as
we'll what was wanted as they did.
There is one sure mark of the COM
ing millionaire; his revenue always
exceed his expenditures. He begins
to save as soon as he begins to earn.
Capitalists trust the saving young
man. For every hundred dollars you
can produce as the result of hard-won
savings, Midas, in search of a partner,
will lend on credit a thousand; for
every thousand, fifty thousand.
1t is not capital your seniors require,
it is the man who has proved he has
the business habits which make CAPT
tai. Begin at once to lay up some
thing. 1t is the first hundred dollars
saved which tells.
And here is the prime condition of
success; the great secret; concentrate
your energy, thought and capital ex-
clusively upon the business in which
you are engaged. Having begun in
one line, resolve to fight it out on that
line; to lead in it; adopt every i'm
provement, have the best machinery
and know the most about it.
Finally, do not be impatient, for, as
Emerson says: mo one can cheat you
out OF ultimate success but your
selves IN Y Tri b1na

COOKING STOCK FOOD.
An Old Farmer Prouounces 1t Expensive
and UnprofitabIe.

An Old Farmer Prouounces 1t Expensive
and UnprofitabIe.
We notice in an exchange (agricul-
turaD that few fancy writer's, who
are instructing farmers what to do, and
how to do, are urging them to cook the
food for their stock. Twenty-Five years
ago manufacturers of food-steam srs,
by the aid of cheap writer's for agri-
cultural papers, induced the farmers to
purchase steamers for cooking food
for their stock. The evidence paraded
seemed to be conclusive, and the writer
of this paragraph. then extensively
engaged in cattle-raising. began to
think he was behind the times. But a
neighbor having purchased a steamer,
we concluded to await developments.
In the cold and bleak outdoor position
of the steamer, it took men with
considerable cheek to attend to the
steamer. 1t took considerable fuel
and made heavy drafts on the stock
we'll for water Cook food during the
day, it would freeze up solid during
the night. So it took nearly half of
the day to thaw it out before the stock
could be fed. Then it was found neces-
sary to build house for the steamer
and warm one, and it had to be some
distance from the corn crib, and from
the barn and stock sheds, to avoid
danger from fire This made every
thing inconvenient A few months of
faithful trial satisfied the most careful
and energetic feeder. Next year the
steamer stood idle. The second year
it was set out at the side of the barn
yard fence; and finally sold to the man
who ranges the country for rags. OLD
copper and old iron.
But separate from the trouble OF
managing the steamer the most care
fal tests by scientific men. where
they have all the appliances for
the purpose without regard to the
cost, prove that it will not pay farmers
to cook the food for their stock. And
our advice Is, let the steamers alone,
and spend any surplus means in pro-
viding warmer winter quarters, better
places for feeding, and ample devices
by the variety in the stock to get out
of the food all there is in it. For such

invariably some coarse food with their
grain, so that it will be more thorough

with the hay, straw or other coarse
fodder. Then have hogs to follow
stock, and thus it will be easier and
cheaper in feeding. and nearly as
much growth of flesh. fat, bone and
muscle will be derived from raw grain
as cooked, and far more profit 1he

MILITARY DUELS.
How They Are Conducted I'm Some of the
Crack Regiments of France.

How They Are Conducted I'm Some of the
Crack Regiments of France.
The death of young soldier of the
Sixteenth Dragons from wounds re-
eeived in duel has led to a lively dis
cussion in the French papers on the
practice of dueling in the army. On
this subject the Petit Parisien has an
interesting article. In some regiments.
it appears, duels are rare, owing to the
firmness of the Colonies, but in others
affairs of honor are a matter of daily
occurrence. In the cavalry regiments
especially this practice fourishes.
When two soldiers have a dispute, so
long as they do not come to blows,
they need not fight unless they wish to;
but a box settles the matter, and,
whether they like it or not, they must
meet sword in hand the next morning
in the riding school. The Cap
tain, often without consulting the
parties interested. asks permission
from the Colonel for the rencontre,
and the latter nine times out
of ten grants it. Nothing then
can prevent the duel. The adversaries
:
but it is all to no purpose fight they
must. The fencing master is notified.
He has the sabers sharpened. Then
each unlucl<y soldier spends the even
ing in the sale ddrmes. where he re-
ceives counsel and advice from the
prevots, each one of whom has an in
fal1ible secret stroke or 6otte to teach
him.
1t is always in the riding-school that
| the affair takes place. About eight
o'clock in the morning the combatants
arrive accompanied by their seconds.
Then comes the fencing master, fol-
| lowed by a prevot, who carries the two
sabers. This fellow always takes de-
| light in informing the two adversari es
| that the sabers are sharpened with
equal care. so that one will cut just as
well as the other. Then comes the
Lieutenant charged with the duty of
conducting the affair. He never fails
to make light of the situation
| for the purpose of encourag-
ing the heroes. The surgeon then
comes upon the scene He appears
with an air of ill humor, as if he was
plagued by the thing. He is followed
| by hospital steward bearing a lot of
bandage and lint. big dish of water
with sponge in the middle, and a set
of surgical Instruments, enough alto
gether to scare the hfavest of the
brave.
..Can we begin?" asks the officer.
Begin" replies the doctor
Then the gladiators take off their
tuxics and shirts aud appear naked to
the waist. no matter how cold the
weather is. They are placed in posi-
ton. The officer says go is!' Then
the fight begins, superintendent by the
fencing master, whose duty it is to
parry the dangerous blows. At last
one of the men is hit, and the affair is
finished.
In the majority of cases the duel
ends by the defeated party's treating
all hands at the canteen. But when
old soldiers are engaged. or non-com-
missioned officers skilled in fencing,
the military duels too often terminate
otherwise. 7. Sun.
