THE ONE wHo TRIED AND FAILED.

There are plaudits enough for the victor,
Where he has won the field,
And the garlands are fair and bestowed with
care
That men in their homage yield;
For this world below loves hero, YOU
know,
And his name will defend If assailed,
So lend hand, and help To stand,
The one who tried and failed.
Men will ever defend victor,
His failiDgs are virtues now,
But count the cost of the one who has lost
And stands with unlaureled brow;
Though he struggled hard, in hope Of re.
ward,
And his struggle naught availed,
Give the praise that is due to the yalor t.ue
OF the one who tried and failed.
And though the other be victor,
As judged by our mortal ken,
IT'S God In His might Who judgeth Alright
And knoweth the victor 'mongst men.
Ills foe may yield on some other field.
If this failure be not bewailed;
So say God-speed, in his hour of need.
To the one who tried and failed.
Success.

BY u Eight Telegraphic Mussases May be
Sent Over One wire at One Time.


\ Sent Over One Wire at One Time.
Baltimore Sun.
Within month or two some expert
ments will be made over the wires of
the Pennsylvania railroad which will,
in all probability, revolutionize the
methods of sending and receiving tele-
graphic messages in this country. The
experiments will be made with the
wonderful multiplex device invented
by Prof. Henry a.. Rowland of the
Johns Hopkins University, several sue
cessful experiments with which have
already been madeN in the physical
laboratory at the university.
By means of this invention it is pos
sible to send eight telegraphic mes
sages over the same wire at the Same
time, four in enoh direction. The
messages are sent over a keyboard
similar to that of a typewriter, which
is at tho sending end Of the instru
ment, while at the other end is a
small machine which records the mes
sage in printed form, IL being possible
either to print the message upon a
sheet of paper or upon u long tape like
that which is used in the ordinary
ticker service. S '.aA%
"There is no longer any question of
the value and thorough utility of the
machine,' said Prof Rowland yester-
day, land many experienced tcle-
graphers who have seen 1t work pro-
nounce it absolutely perfect. An ordi-
nary typewriter operator can send
messages at the rate Of 40 words a
minute, while all the time seven other
messages are going over the, wire, each
separate and distinct from the others.
81 wanted to try the message over a
very long wire, but could not make
satisfactory arrangements with the
Western Union Telegraph Co. for the
use of their plant. However, the
Pennsylvania railroad has placed its
private wires at our. disposal. At first
planned to make the experiments
upon wire from Pittsbprg to Phila-
dolphin, but these wires are kept very
busy during the day, and found that
the only time could use them would
be at night or upon holiday. So we
have decided upon wire between
Jersey City and Philadelphia for the
first trial, and after that, IL we want
to, we can try longer wire by using a
system of loops. +"
The quadruplex device, now in use
in some telegraph offices, has been
considered q giant stride in the de-
velopment of telegraphy, and has re-
suited in the saving, of much time and
money. The capacity of the new
arrangement of Prof. Rowland may be
further comprehended when it is stated
that his invention will do three times
the work which the qusdruplex ma
chine will do. Prof. Rowland has been
at work upon tho machine for several
months, and only lately has gotten it
perfect enough to suit him.
He says that he has not determined
upon the date of this crucial expert
ment, but it win probably be made
during December. 1t is likely that
several prominent photographers and
electricians will be invited to be
present during the operations.

When darkest clouds the skies o'erspread
And hide the heavenly blue, ,.5s
When hope for brighter things seems
dead,
When fed the Joys we knew,
IT'S then, oh, heartsick, fainting soul,
The shadows soon will break,
And golden pictures on life's scroll
The fairest forms will,tnke.
The sum of life is hopes and fears,
That come and go at will;
The sorrow Of day, or years,
Some Joy its place will fill.
Then look beyond the dark ming clouds
That hide the blessed light
Thesomber curtain onlyshrouds
What soon will greet thy sight.
When streams the golden sunshine through,
The shadows quickly fly,
And brighter is the heavenly blue
OF the late o Breasted sky.
Thus in our lives the shadows fade
In the light of the brightest CLEANS;
And the deeper the gloom OF the somber
shade, 81

Experience Proves That Mixed Diet Is
Mans Best Food.

Open Court
The question Of food has no direct,
but only an indirect, bearing upon
mortality. 1t is more important how
we eat than what we eat. We eat for
a certain purpose. We eat in order to
live, and our food must be adopted to
the purpose. II must keep us in good
health and must enable ms to be
efficient in our work. The,question of
food, therefore, must ultimately be de-
cided before the tribunal of hygiene.
The gourmand is not the connoisseur
whose advice should be most highly
valued In eating and drinking, but the
physician-the man who knows the
physiology Of the human body and its
needs. iff
The regulation Of our diet, although
it has only an indirect bearing upon
mortality, is, nevertheless, of great i'm
portance, and its neglect is accom-
panied with, severe punishments.
Physicians alone know how many dis
eases are due to a neglect of the sim
plest rules OF dietetics, and many valu-
able lives. cut short before their time,

food for man. 1t is possible for man to
subsist on vegetables alone, but he will
have TO take larger quantities of food
and eat more frequently during the
day; otherwise, his energy will scarcely
be sufficient to meet all the require
ments of an active life. Yet, on the
other hand, man cannot live on heat
iiet alone, for experience has. proved
that indulgence in meat is directly in
furious to health.
During the Franco Prussian war the
srmy before Metz had not a sufficient
vegetable supply, and was for some time
confined to pure meat diet, while the
army before Paris in similar way
suffered from want Of meat, but en-
ioyed a superabundan CO of vegetables.
The consequences were injurious only
to the army before Metz, where dis.
eases were increased, while the health

reduces in the system the power of re-
sistance to infectious diseases, while
the drawbacks Of a pure vegetable diet
are rather negative than positive, and
some of them. are avoided if food is
taken in sufficient quantities. q"
