THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Great Fortunes Rising Like Monu.
ments.
HOW MILLIONAIRES SUCCEED IN
PILING UPENORMOUS WEALTH.
Not Difficult for Anyone to Follow their
Example.

1t is popularity supposed that a few
men like Gould, Vanderbilt and Astor
represent the rich men of the country.
This is great mistake. There are
thousands upon thousands of millionaires,
men SO rich that they cannot possibly
spend the interest upon their vast accu-
mutations. Every city, every town, every
community has them; it is they who rep
resent the wealth of our country, on
account of their numbers.
Now if so many men succeed, What is
the true secret of that success?
Two words answer--energy and health.
Any man of indomitable energy and
perseverance who is well can succeed.
All, there is the rtlb--lcho is ueU.
Men have the energy and ability to sue
coed, but theyldo not possess the requisite
health--that strength of the nerves, vigor
of the mind and endurance and tireless-
ness which alone makes men succeed.
They feel languid even weak at times
aud lac snap and ambition; they know
they have the necessary ability but their
energies need rousing. In some cases the
stomach, liver and bowels are at fault, !or
possibly the kidneys are out of order.
Nine times out OF ten, however it is lack
of nerve strength, nerve vigor, and nerve
power.
Numberless men who have ample vigor
at first break down in health from the
excessive strain upon their nervous and
physical systems, as did the well-known
s. w. Nourse, Esq, OF Hudson, Mass.
He strikes the key note of the difficulty,
and his advice, if followed, will put men
on the sure road to wealth.

TRIP TO PORTLAND,
what an Ellsworth Editor Saw on Re-
cent VISTA Traveller Who Rivalled
Solomon in Methods of Divisional

The editor of the Ellsworth American
was in Portland last week, and on his re-
turn published an interesting editorial
comment on what he saw, among them
the following:
When we reached Portland station
Tuesday evening, at about II o'clock, we
were told that the train was an hour late.
There was nothing for us but to wait
with such patience as we could com
1nand. A public waiting room affords a
good opportunity for the study of hui
man nature. II have tried everywhere, -
we heard one man say to another, ''to
get drink and could not do it,; and
am satisfied that Portland is dry town. y
This same man contributed q spectacle
such as we have not witnessed before in
the State of Maine for at least 25 years.
He took from his grip small bottle
partly filled with liquor, which he said
was given him on the train. He proposed
to divide the contents between himself
and two men with whom he was talking
and so he marked on his bottle the
depth to which each might drink. 1t
was small allowance, he said, but was
the best he could do. The liquor was
drank in accordance with his directions.
The man had unlimited cheek, for he
paraded his rum bottle in that public
place as eoolly as if it had been bottle
of milk. We regret that we did not
have time to call on Sheriff Cram, and
thank him in the name of 10000 voters
OF the state, friends of enforced prohibit
ton, for the excellent work he has done
in Cumberland county.

ROAD REFORM.
A Big Petition to Congress Sent Out of
Maine Yesterday-Some of the Advan-
tages that Better Roads Would Give
Maine.

/ The State of Maine is getting wide
awake on the subject of better roads,
largely through the efforts of General
Passenger Agent Boothby of the Maine
Central. The Maine Central manage
ment believe that better country roads
would be of inestimable benefit to
Maine. They would make it much more
attractive to the summer visitors, be-
sides increasing the whole volume of
business done in the state. So for sew
eral weeks past the agents of the road in
the various towns of Maine have been
collecting signatures to petition asking
Congress to appropriate money for a
comprehensive road exhibit at the
Worlds Fair, and also to establish at the
seat of government at Washington a
road department similar to the depart
ment of agriculture. The object of this
department. would be the promotion of
knowledge of the art of constructing and
maintaining roads, with provision for
teaching students and a permanent ex-
hibition in which should be shown sec
lions of roads illustrating materials,
methods of construction, etc. Yester-
day Mr.. Boothby forwarded by express
to Colonel Pope petitions containing
4572 signatures. and when returns are in
from the whole line undoubtedly there
will be $1,000 names in all from Maine.
Waterville sent 500 names and is the
banner stronghold of road reform senti-
ment.

accomplished wife invited his church
congregation to New Years social
gathering. DESTROYS of making restitu-

accepted the invitation, and assembled in
large numbers at the vestry of the
church. The evening was pleasantly
spent in social greetings and expressions
of their strong attachment to the very
able and eloquent pastor and his graceful
wife. During the evening the Ladies'
Circle met, and very cordially voted to
paw S25 toward the piano recently pur-
chased by the Y.P. S. G. E. for the bene-

existing ties between pastor and people.
Ice cream and cake were literally pro-

prosperous than at the present time, nor

TO Make Hens Lay.

The Ohio Farmer has the follow
ing: "Put two or nore quarts of
water into kettle and one large
seed pepper or two small ones; then
put the kettle over the fire. When
the water boils, stir in coarse Indian
meal until you have a thick mush.
Let it cook an hour or so; feed hot.
Horse-radish may be chopped fine
and. stirred into mush as prepared
in the above directions, with the
result that we are getting from five
to ten eggs per day, whereas, pre-
vious to feeding, we had not had
eggs for a long time. We heard a
good deal Of complaint from other
people about not getting eggs. To
such we would warmly recommend
cooked feed fed hot. Boiled apple
skins seasoned with red pepper, or
boiled potatoes seasoned with horse
radish, are good for fe d; much
better than uncooked food. Corn,
when fed to hens by itself, has a
tendency to fatten than produce
the more profitable egg-laying. A
spoonful of sulphur stirred with
their feed occasionally will rid them
of virmin and tone up their sys-
