Pay. Every Day.

One New York millionaire who earn
ed his fortune by his own efforts under
rather disadvantageous circumstances
conducts his business in a way that is
highly original in many particulars.
One of the most striking of these is his
method of dealing with his employees.
They are paid every night, and at the
close of every business day all the ex-
penses of running the business have
been met, and the manager knows just
how his affairs stand as far as that
feature of his business is concerned.
But that is not his object in paying
salaries every day instead of following
the usual custom and waiting until the
end of the week or month. He employs
many men who have lost former stu
ations through intemperance, although
they were all men of ability in their
field. If they severed their connection
practically with the establishment at
the close of every business day, it
made no difference to the employer
what happened to the man after he left
his establishment. By this means the
millionaire is able to get the services
of good men at a small salary and have
no responsibility as to their conduct
after they have received their pay for
one days work.-New York Sun.

Leg gives For Women.

The costume of the Pu Yuan Pen-jen
women in the Shan states is very strik-
ing, consisting of a cloth hood, an open
jacket and pair of short white trou-
sers reaching barely to the knee. But
the most important, though the least
noticeable. part Of their costume is
their colored cloth CATERS. These the
women are obliged to wear. as without
them it is believed they would be able
to fly away, leaving their husbands
and sweethearts sorrowful. This legend
recalls a custom of ancient Carthage,
where the unmarried women Wore
metal leg gives, which We're severed
only during the marriage ceremony.
The Akkas, also a Wont tribe, wear
similar CATERS, though l do not think
the same Importance is attached to
them 1t is probably an emblem of
some old custom of which the true sig
nificance has been forgotten. = Geo

good ride in the saddle. He said he
was used to riding only thoroughbreds,
and he didn't think we had horse
good enough for him. The boys con-
WINGED him that they had one of the
finest horses on the plains, and If he
knew how to ride he was welcome to
the animal. He was apparently in

ity to ride and answered that he could
ride any kind of horse. A sleepy

Stuck tn His Post.

When it comes to a battle, a horse
shows no fear of death. no sign of be-
ing overcome by panic. in all the wild
tumult of the battles roar. A horse
in one Of our batteries in the Murfrees-
boro fight was hit by a piece of shell,
which split his skull so that one side
was loosened. The driver turned him
loose, but when he saw the team he
had worked with being driven back
for ammunition he ran to his old place
and galloped back with the rest. When
an officer pushed him aside to have
another horse put in, he gazed at the
new one with a most sorrowful eX-
preston in his eyes. Then he seemed
to realize that the battle was no more
for him, and he walked away and lay
down and died. The officer declared
that it was broken heart that killed
him.-Our Dumb Animals.

Case In Which the Condolences
Were Remarkable.
On one occasion during the civil war
l dreamed that was standing beside
road when there came marching
along it a strong column of prisoners
with guards at intervals on the TANKS
l asked one of these guards who the
prisoners were and where they had
been captured. He informed me that
they had been taken in an engagement
with the enemy on the day before and
that there We're 1000 of them. | then
asked some bystander what day of the
a DAY of certain month, some six
weeks later than the date of the dream.
The whole dream was extremely dis
tinct, and it made a strong impression
on me. | related it TO number of my
comrades within the next few days
and then thought of it no more.
Six weeks later, on the morning of
the very day that had been mentioned
in the dream as the date when the col.
umn Of prisoners had passed before

from the point where l had seemed
to be when | saw them. 1t was soon
after breakfast, and | was standing
by the side of the road at the fire talk
ing to the officer of the picket when ar
aid to the commanding general came
riding down the road. He had been g
schoolfellow of our officers at West
Point, and he refined up when he recog
nized his friend. He told US that he
had good news; that there had been 6
sharp engagement with the enemy the
day before and that our people ha(
captured 1000 prisoners, who had jus

The Des Moines Capital lays
much stress upon the REVIEW as
Governor Shaw's ''home organ.
The REVIEW appreciates the honor
but must disclaim any knowledge
of the Governors plans or that it
is in any way the Governors
mouth-piece.
We can say from our knowledge
of the Governor as man, that
there are higher things in store for
him than seat in the United
States senate gained by trickery or
chance. We can say from our
knowledge of the man that he will
accept the responsibility placed
upon him with the broad spirit of
craftsmanship. We venture the
prediction that the Governors ap-
pointee will be every inch man,
that he will be man of senatorial
calibre and a man whose choice
the legislature can ratify without
regret. We do not know the
mans name but that is the kind of
man he will be. We venture the
further prediction that when the
Governors appointment is an
nounced the Capital will be
ashamed of its present attitude of
carping criticism and unjust sus-
picion. The Capital may not have
the grace to acknowledge, but
nevertheless we believe it will
blush when 1t learns the Cover
nor's choice and when it remembers
what it has said. Again we repeat
we do not know the name of the
next senator, but he will be man
of whom all Iowa can be proud.
Will the Capital please paste this
in its hat and see if we are not
right?

Appeals to Fear.

The appeals to fear have we'll nigh
ceased, and yet there is no fact which
we are so compelled to see as the fact
Of retributi"n. The law of retributior
works in our present life. We become
aware of it in our earliest infancy, and
we never become developed in charac-
ter until we have learned to fear that
which is evil and to shun the conse-
Quences of lin. There is sense of
righteousness in all men, and all men
know that unrighteousness brings pun.
iShment. 1t is fair to assume that
what is part of mans very structure
here will &C .tinue hereafter. We NAV
give up entirely the notion Of mate
rial hell, but we cannot give up the
doctrine of retribution. Suffering must
follow sin, and therefore to appeal to
fear is not only legitimate, but it is IN
accordance with the structure Of mans
nature.-North Anan..:----.. .,rylew,

lRoNcLAD FEVER.
A Peculiar Disease That Was Killed
by yentilntiOn

ny
In the fight between the Monitor and
Merrimac 1t was found that there was
not sufficient air in the turreted steam
er for the crew and that the suffocating
gases generated by the explosion of
gunpowder found their way below and
rendered it practically impossible for
the men to work. Necessity therefore
compelled the Introduction of some ap-
paratus for artificial ventilation.
The old methods in vogue for hun
dreds of years had been retained even
under the new conditions and but for
the striking exhibition of direct inter
ference with fighting capacity would
have remained for many years longer.
In the Monitor was placed rotary
blower. worked by steam. Air was
thus drawn from one half of the steam
err through a system of pipes and
forced into the other. Various changes
were made in later ironclads of this
period. In some the air was drawn
down the turrets and forced through
out the vessel, thus rendering them
more than ever liable to SURROGATE the
men below in battle, while in others tbs
supply was obtained through armored
cylinders and forced out through the
turrets.
1t was in the early ironclads that q
peculiar disease developed which, be-
ing confined to those vessels, was soon
designated ironclad fever In this af-
lection the initial symptoms were
much like those of typhus, but in a
short time severe occipital pain was
followed by complete aphonia and this
by coma and death. The introduction

SUCCESS AND FAILURE.
The Higher the Purpose the Rarcr

The Higher the Purpose the Rarer
the Achievement.
If by success we mean the full &C.
complshment of an end, the actual
reaping of harvest of results, then it
is undoubtedly true that the higher
and nobler the purpose the rarer will
be the success. If we aim to relieve a
mans hunger, we can quickly succeed
in the easy task, but if we aim to in
spire him with desire to earn his own
bread the work is more difficult and
the success far more problematical.
If we would restrain a thief from rob-
berry, the prison bars and locks insure
success, but if we would make an hon
est man of him our task is complex
one, and success may be afar off. We
undertake to teach q child to read. If
with requisite effort we follow up our
task, we are successful, but if we as
pire to raise the educational standard
of our community how arduous the
task, how uncertain the result, how
questionable the success!

Dies ere he knows it.
| Is his life. then, a failure? No; let
us never imagine that any high pur-
pose, any noble thought, any generous
emotion, any earnest effort, is ever lost.
We may never witness it's growth, we
may not live to gather it's fruit or even
to see its blossoms. but we may safely
trust that somewhere and at some
time the harvest will be abundant, and
success, long hidden, shall become APP
