REPORTED COMBINATION OF IRON AND
STEEL INTERESTS TO HAVE

tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE

tBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBuSEi
Wheeling W. Va, March IA combination of
iron and steel Industries. with $1,000 600 900
capital will be completed within six months
from April /. II will include the American Tin
plate Company the National Steel Company
the American Hoop and Wire Company. the
National Steel Sheet Company now forming
hno another. which is already in existence and
whlch IS as large or larger than any of the con-
Germs named. The name Of this latter concern
is withheld, for economic reasons till some
minor complications concerning Capitalization
overcome.
This information given to-day by a man
who holds interest in all one of these COM
binations. and who with w. T Graham and
Judge Moore, of Chicago, planned the American
Iinplate Company and the National Steel Com
pany. and who is to be credited with being the
pioneer or the trust of trusts idea. The original
plan laid out by the coterie of men who planned
the union of all the iron and steel properties
was 70 form single trust of all the interests
in the country. This was abandoned because
they recognized that the people who owned the
stock in individual lots and the financiers would
be scared by the size of the enterprise
1t was then decided to first form trusts of the
various branches Of the trades. and after they
had been successfully launched TO combine them
all into one. The Carnegie interests and the in
te1ests controlled by the Standard Oil Company
were dropped. Now everything of any conse-
quence outside the Carnegie and Standard in
terests is 10 be got together and the entire iron
and steel industry of the country controlled bv
the 81, 900, 100000 trust except the Standard
and Carnegie interests. The Sheet Steel Trust
will elect temporary officers, with John A. Top
ping Of the lieutenants of w T Graham of
the Tin Plate Trust, temporary president to
hold office till the final consolidation. The in
formant says this story will be denied and ridi-
c-iled but that IL will be fully verified. His po-
sition toward the concerns named is an ample
assurance of his ability to speak by the card.

Personal CLEANLINESS.
Rules for the Preservation of the
Body from Common At
fecfions.

The daily bath is necessary for clean
hness, and especially for the training
OF the skin to antagonize the evil effects
OF clothing. Two or three times week
a little soap should be used, especially
about those parts of the body where oil
is secreted and filth accumulates. The
warm cleansing bath once or twice a
week is essential. 1t is best taken at
bedtime. Eczema and other skin dis
eases abound in countries where the
bath is rarely used. A historian of the
middle ages asserts that during a
thousand years no man, woman or
child in all Europe took bath except
by accident. Scrofula and various
forms of skin disease existed to a
frightful extent during this period,
says Good Health.
Special attention must be given to
the scalp, by the use of fine comb
and good brush daily, and by sham
pooing with fine soap once week.
Beneath the finger nails is favor
able hiding lace for all kinds of germs,
which, through accidental inoculation,
may give rise to disease of the eyes and
infections of other sorts. Take care
never to soil the fingers with anything
infectious when it is possible to avoid
it. Ii such contamination occurs,
cleanse the hands at once. Water as
hot as can be borne and good yellow or
soft soap are safe disinfectants if thor
oughly employed. Attend to the teeth
before and after meals.
If catarrh or cold exist, take good
care of the nose, by properly using the
handkerchief' 1t is we'll, also, to use
some form of vaporizer to introduce
some antiseptic which will destroy the
germs growing on the mucous-mem-
brane of the nose. Always avoid clos
ing both nostrils in blowing the nose.
When this precaution is neglected, air
is driven into the middle ear and skull
bones, causing disease of these parts.
Coughing should be avoided. The spu-
tum should not be expectorated
upon the ground, but into cloth and
burned. This will prevent scattering
of the germs of tuberculosis and other
microbes that might be in the sputum.
1t is needless to warn the reader of the
dangers of the filthy habit of swallow
ing the accumulations from the nasal
passages. This sometimes results in
chronic gastritis or catarrh of the
stomach.
If the feet perspire freely, change the
hose daily.

USE YOUR OWN BRAINS.
The Education We Acquire by Our
Efforts Becomes a Vital
Part of Us.

There is always a certain lack in
what we get from others. What they
give us is like food put into our mouths.
If it remains there, it never becomes
force, life or thought. 1t must be di-
gested, assimilated, vitalized by our
own activities. All others can do for us
is to furnish the food. The digestion,
the assimilation, the vitalizing, must
be our own work, says Success.
The education we acquire by our
own efforts becomes vital part of u.s.
1t is not added to us, but is living,
pulsing, integral part of us.
Many college graduates never swal-
low what the school has put into their
mouths, but carry it about with them
and wonder why they do not grow
why they are SO power-thin. We Sc,
them everywhere, conductors on street
cars, motormen, perpetual clerks whose
salaries are never raised, writer's of
occasional squibs for the local press
hangers-on in society, loafers about ho-
tells and clubs, who never get strength
enough to rise in the world because
they have never digested or assimi-
lated their knowledge.
knowledge is of no use unless it can
be used, and until it has been trans
formed into thought-timber, into man
timber. College graduates often
astonish us by the enormous amount
of their learning and the meagerness
of their performance. 1t seems to take
all their strength to carry about what
they have learned, and they have moth
ing left with which to use what they
have.

proposition. There are various causes
which helped to defeat this measure.
In agricultural districts 1T was con-
sidered to be of advantage to the in
dustrial centers. Great dissatisfac-
tion was shown by the people engaged
in house industries, because the law
was made compulsory for some and
optional for others. Strong opposi-
ton was met with among the large
manufacturers, especially those of the
silk industry, because they were con-
vinced that the law would tax them
heavier than they were being taxed
under the compulsory system which
is at present in existence.

SWISS NATIONAL INSURANCE.
Report Giving Some Interesting Facts
About Proposed Law That
Was Recently Defeated.

In a report to the state department
Consul General Dubois, at st. Gall.

proposed Swiss accident and military
insurance law, says the Washington
Post. This law, which was recently
defeated by a two-thirds vote, pre-
scribes obligatory insurance in cases
of sickness and accident. The govern
ment's share of the expense of the
entire premium of the insurance was
to be 20 per cent, the labor 20 per
cent, while the employers of labor
were to bear 60 per cent. The text
of the proposed law contained 400 ar
ticles, among which was the military
insurance clause, which met consider
able opposition by the military class
es. The project was defeated this
time by 1885, 900 votes. Glarus was the
only province out of the % cantons
