How TO SUCCEED.

This is the great problem of life which few
satisfactorily solve; some fail because of poor
health, others want of luck, but the majority
from deficient grit-want of nerve. They are
nervous, irresolute, changeable, easily get the
blues and " take the spirits down to keep the
spirit up" thus wasting money, time OppOr-
tunity and nerve force. There is nothing like
the Restorative NerVine, discovered by the great
specialist, DIR. Miles, to cure all nervous diseases,
as headache, the blues, nervous prOstrations sleep
Ilessness, neuralgia, st. Vitus dance, fits and
hysteria. Trial bottles and fine book of testi-
mOnials free at the drug stores.

\ FATAL MISTAKE

Physician, make no more fatal mistaks than
when they inform patients that nervous heart

consequence. DIR. Franklin Miles, the noted In

WHAT TO READ.

A correspondent writes US inquiring
"what young man, whose early advan-
tages were few and whose time for self
improvement is limited, should read in
order to be well informed on the questions
of the day. Name the best history of the
United States and of England, and
whether a knowledge of ancient history
is necessary TO young man who would
like to be able to discuss men and affairs
in an intelligent way"
To be well informed on the questions Of
the day requires some knowledge of the
recent events Of the past. These facts Of
the past are all inteliigently summarized
under proper heads in any standard
cyclop@dia, like Appleton's, for ex-
ample, or the Encyclopedia Britain
lea. From these standard cyclopedias
a young man can with comparative rapid
ity probably acquire the dry facts of both
the ancient and modern history of the
world in general, or of England and the
United States IN particular. Ancient his
tory is not absolutely essential 10 an in
telIigent discussion Of modern affairs, but
ancient history" is rather an indefinite
term. Some would call all history an
cient that preceded the Christian era;
some would date the commencement Of
modern lite as late as the invention of the
art OF printing; the discovery of America;
the Reformation of Luther; but there are
impulses still felt in our modern life that
began as far back as the age of Pericles
III Greece. and the Punic wars against
Rome. The conquests of Alexander prob
ably had more TO do with changing
the fate of the world than any
event that has since taken place.
Modern philosophy at one time went back
TO Alexander S tutor, Aristotle, for
It's methods; and the philosophy of
our own day is instinct with the
spirit of Socrates and his great pu-
Pill, Plato. The history of England
runs back to Caesars conquest Of Britain.
In fact, an intelligent young man ought 70
know the leading facts of both the ancient
and modern world as far back as 500 B. C.,
and as We remarked, he can with compare
tive quickness master these facts under
the proper heads in q cyclopedia.
But this mastery Of the dry facts of his
tory needs to be supplemented by reading
a full and philosophical explanation
Of great events AMI q critical esti-
mate Of the relative influence and
importance OF great men, and to
q young man in whom knowledge
Of the dry facts Of his story excites any
thirst for further and fuller knowledge,

The only sound way to reform society,
TO lift the world out OF Satanic darkness
toward the realm Of the blessed light eter-
nal, is for every man who is anxious for
this end to first reform himself, and then
try to make himself bel pful by making
others hopeful. No social machinery OF
law ever did or can do much for the
moral or spiritual growth of mankind.
It is the virtuous, active. personal power
of men among men whose warmth the
world lacks: not social machine methods
for abolishing intemperance, ignorance,
crime and poverty. Unless Christ's
spirit is in our methods; unless we
put Christ's shoulder to the wheel in
shape of an active, warm, humane per-
sonality, we shall never spiritualize or
humanize the human heart by the appli-
cation of mere soulless social machinery
to the solution of evil conditions that are
not solvable nor durable by machine
methods. The world is full of good and
evil; we are free to choose sides, and are
individually responsible for our actions.
Not to hold men to this doctrine of indi-
vidual responsibility and the certainty of
social retribution and ruin for failure to
work out their own salvation would be to
make men not soldiers, but miserable
fugitives from life's battle that cannot be
lodged or evaded.

The Rev. DIR. McChesney, of the Madison

The Rev. DR.. McChesney, of the Madison
Avenue Episcopal church, in recent ser.
mon said: "The Bible is given US to live
by and not to fight over" and he warned
his hearers against "overloading" the fact
Of inspiration with "superstitious views
as to its methods" such as holding to the
infallibllity of our translations, claiming
too much in the way of verbal inspiration,
refusing to recognize the human element
that appears along with the divine. Christ
himself, DR., McChesney concluded, was
the best guarantee of Scripture inspiration,
and saving acquaintance with him the
best answer to all essential questions.

A FRIGHTFUL SCOURGE.

Diphtheria is frightful cause of mortal
ity among the children of the land from
Maine to Puget sound; from the Canada
line to the Gulf. Smallpox excites more
general fright, because it attacks both old
and young, and because il is repulsive in
consequence of the Disagreement that it
not seldom leaves upon the faces of those
who survive its attack, but the mortality
from smallpox is less throughout the coun-
try, and its contacion and infection is
more easily suppressed by exclusion and
isolation. Under the rules of the New
York city board Of health smallpox
is so instantly stamped out that this
great seaport Of 10000 people has
very few cases Of smallpox during the
year, while Montreal, with but 81 900. had
5000 deaths from smallpox in the winter

fectIve measures of vaccination. exclusion
and isolation, and in our country, where
superstition is not able TO foil the health
officer, has no excuse for destructive prev

But diphtheria from the early history Of
the United States, when ii was popularity

A Number ofRes1dents of That Section

 The Big Four" were conspicuous by their absence from the meeting of the board of public works last evening when the matter of the extension of Willow street from it's present terminus to Blatch- ley avenue came up for hearing. The 'Little Two" Commissioners Leigh and Brown, were present in all their glory and practically had everything to themselves forsone night at least
 At first it looked as though no meeting would be held, owing to the lack of quo- rum, but Mayor Sergeant was equal to the emergency and stated that though no &C., tion could be taken the hearing would go on just the same, and some residents in city were present to be heard in reference to the matter.
 In accordance with the decision of the mayor the two commissioners and his honor resolved themselves into @ commit tee, the mayor acting both as president and clerk, the hearing went merrily on.
 The following persons appeared at the meeting, all of whom were in favor of the proposed extension, stating that they considered the extension public neces- sity: Peter Hanson, Captain John Shuster, Charles Brandt, president of the Swedish building corporation, and the following nine members of the association: Charles Benson, Aaron Gus lawson, Charles A.

More Police Needed.

so SAY PEOPLE OF THE SECOND WARD
 WHAT ALDERMAN LOWE SAYS.
 The recent burglaries in the Second ward and the numerous burglaries in the last year or two in that section have awakened a stir in the ward and a demand for in- creased police protection. Some of the inhabitants are getting in earnest on the subject and have conferred with Alderman Lowe on the subject Alderman Lowe says increased police protection in that section is much needed. He said further that there was no fault to be found with the officers on duty in that section, as they do their work well-as we'll as men could do with so enormous an amount of territo- ry to cover. "Why," said the alderman, Hook at the territory the officer on our beat had to cover the night my store was was robbed. On that night the regular officer was i'll and his colleague had to cover an immense beat-his own and the other mans. Either of the beats is a mile foo big. Why, the officer had to cover all from Congress avenue to West Chapel street. Why, it's all man can do and more to walk over such beat in one night. We need more police We ought to have twenty-five more policemen The taxpayers pay to be protected and should have protection. Ex.Chief Bollman and Commissioner Hart both advocated it, So do many others. The city is good deal bigger now than it was ten years ago. New Haven is growing. Our police force, to be adequate, should keep pace in strength with the growth of the city"
