THE SUCCESSFUL SOLDIER.
He Must be . Natural Leader Of
Armed Men.

He Must be . Natural Leader Of
Armcd Men.
Lord Wellesley is reported to have as
serted recently that while a soldier
by nature might be benefited to an
almost incalculable degree by educa-
ton and training, man who lacks SOL
dierly instincts can never become a sue
cessful leader of armed men. In sup
port Of these views the British general
is reported to have said that one of the
most thoroughly equipped general OFF,
GERS in the English army during the
Crimean war, man of superior educa-
ton and training, was one of the most
impractical officers Of his grade in the
queens forces. This officer, he said,
had been faithful student, was blessed
with a good memory, and possessed .
remarkably fine conception Of the
greater operations Of war As taught by
the books, but with it all was the most
dismal failure as an officer in all the
British army.
The remarks Of Lord Wolesley will
serve to recall to the military student
some of the excentricities Of the IA
nous Prussian officer, Gen. RucheL
This gentleman possessed exceptionally
great attainments and stood high in the
estimation of military men As an au-
thcrity and instructor. Eventually.
however, with all his great learning
and ability, he brought upon himself,
while at the head Of the military school
at Potsdam, the ridicule of the world
by teaching that the right shoulder
forward" was the secret Of military
success. In other words that the
oblique order was the infallible rule for
gaining battles. The battle of Jena,
the scholarly old general thought. could
have been saved 1bthe Prussians, il the
command to advance the right shoulder
had been given ut the proper time. and
an oblique line created to meet the
enemy.
The greatest successes in life, 1t may
be remarked, usually come to the man
who feels that he is pursuing the linz
of least resistance in his business or
profession. and Is well qualified by ma
ture as well as by attainment, for what
h. is doing. The leader Of armed men
is no exception to this rule, and the man
who feels that he lacks in soldierly quail
tiles. or has this fact made apparent to
him by want of success, should at once.
in the interests of his government and
humanity as well. seek some other field
of labor.-Military Gazette, Chicago.

form OF misrepresentation of a far moro

We refer to the false statements and
worthless guarantees that frequently AZ.

medicine to cure Is to brand 1t as a quack
product. II we can guarantee to euro dis.
ease, then we can guarantee everlasting
life, for in large majority of cusos people
die of disease, the proportion OF violent or
accidental deaths being very small.
The Shakers have always been known
Us II most upright and honorable people,
and their success iu the manufacture OF

is therefore not surprising to find them
pursuing a very original and novel plan
for the introduction of their remedy for

These G1dfcaring people, whose motto
has always been TRY all thing, and hold
