this medicine over all diseases OF the blood:
I'm 1887 my son, years old, had a white swell

Few men in the United States have
been more successful in business than
United States Senator Farwell, who,
in addition to his important political
place, is the head OF one Of the great
commercial firms Of the country.
81 am sometimes asked. he said.

to our house for employment. He
seemed to be in earnest, and ] told

which a man who was in earnest in
his calling could succeed. ! told him
YES. said to him substantially this:

You come here 10 work for u.s. We
employ you for a certain sum TO do a
certain work. Your time is ours. We
expect you to carry out our wishes
No matter what you may think about

all other things being equal. you are
bound to succeed. Obedience to the
wishes and demands Of your employ

ploy about twenty years ago. They
began at the bottom round. You ask
me what that is in this business. The
beginner goes to the top story of the
house Nth a basket and a card On
this c4rd are the numbers of the
various articles of merchandise which
he has to pick up in the building.
This familiarizes him with the goods
in stock. BY and by he is promoted
to some department in the house, and
from that he is pushed forward just
as his ability warrants or as a vacancy
may occur. The two young men Of
whom just spoke began in that way.
To-day one of them is worth 800, 900.
and the other is almost as well fixed.
and each has an income of $4,000.
The trouble with most beginners Is
that they want big salary at the
start Or if they begin at the bottom
they want a raise in twelve months.
If they don't get il they begin to look
around and finally go elsewhere for a
small advance. There they want
another advance, and so they keep on
rowing around until they are old, and
they are not particularly valuable
anywhere or to any body. Their OPP
portunities are gone and nobody
wants them. They get dyspeptic, and
then you have the crank. They are
the men who are always croaking at
other peoples success. &C Chicago

Miss Merit did not notice the look Of

But from Florences sunny chamber a
full view was commanded, and feeling
sorry for the man she stole out with a
piece of bread 0vertaling the man at
the corner, she offered him the bread,
saying: "Hero, sir, please take this"
He drew back, saying haughtily: 81 am

her busy mind full of beggars turning
into Princes, she ran.
And now before we proceed further let
us examine our characters Miss Merit,
maiden lady, the eldest daughter of
Henry Merit When her father died,
and she was yet in mourning, news came
of her sister marrying a young man,
poor, yet who loved her. She begged
her sisters forgiveness, if not for her
for their little child. Miss Merit sent
a letter, cold and chilling, denouncing
them all.
81 am your sister, you should have
asked me- she said; "a marriage of
love, indeed; for such l have no honor.
And" she continued, Il shall never
love or befriend the wife or child of
Horace Montgomery"
And so she wrote words cold and I'M
feeling. The picture painted Of his
wife and his little child with golden
hair did not prevail on her. But three
years later, when they brought Helen's
little girl to her, she took the little
orphan and promised to love her. Who
could help it?
1t was cold winters day-the day
before Christmas. But an! how differ
ent from the usual festive days, for
there had been no snow, although bleak
winds had been blowing for week.
Suddenly some one said fire"
"Where?"
"At the Merits"
Alasl too true; in minute tho whole
house was ablaze, The flame was creep
ing higher and higher.

son! heavens, where is she?"
The words went from lip to lip. Flor
ence stood in tho top-story window.
"Who will venture to get her? Three
thousand dollars reward" No one an
swered. Oh, should the little girl only
be an addition of fuel to the flames?
Mol Some one started forward. II was

now he held the child in his arms, he
descended, but all below was flames.
He sprang out of the way, took an awful
leap into the apple-tree, and fell sense

no one who were there remember it,
but somehow they found that the tramp,
Horace Montgomery, had Jared hard,
had been in that town and looked for
work, seen his child and meant to claim

AristvOrattc Origin of the Sandwich and
the Etymology Of the Blanket.

There IS something peculiarly fasci-

seem to-day, they all had their sources
evidently in some fitting fact
The origin Of not few of the names
of our common articles are alike curious
and interesting. They are, in fact,
short bits Of history, giving us little
glimpses Of old life and revelations of
human interest. Often they are stories
condensed into a single word.
Take, for instance, sandwich, the
name applied to that common staple OF
the lunch-baslet, consisting of two
slices OF bread, with a slice OF ham or
other meat laid between Who would
think of associating this rather plobeian
article with an English nobleman
Yet, IL he did not invent it, il was
made so popular by the Earl of Sand
wich, magnificent and brilliant but
somewhat profigate noble of George

ever since.
The same nobleman also gave his
name TO the Sandwich Islands, being
one OF tho patrons OF Captain Cook, who
discovered that archipelago.

was the contrivance OF another English
earl, Lord Spencer, who always wore

Spencer and Sandwich were coupled
