Should Feel an Interest.

One reason why many young men
fail to keep a position is because
they are not interested in the well
fare of their employer and go
through with each days work in a
lazy, Indifferent sort of way, with
out putting enthusiasm, loyalty, or
thought into it. They are not con-
cerned about advancement or per-
feet workmanship and other char
actcristics that g to make up the
indispensable employe, but aim
simply to put in their time and re-
ceive their salary. Business men
are quick to note interest manifest
ed by their employees and will not
long retain any who are not zeal
Gus in their work. Every young
man should realize that his employ
er's welfare is identical with his
own and should do his utmost to
maze the business a success.

POVERTY AND SUCCESS.
Common Sense from One Who Doean't
Aaree with Carnegie.

agree with Carnegie.
Mr.. Carnegie has just been telling
the people Of Govan that "the finest
heritage for young man is poverty"
This is his own belief, and It was also
the belief, he aflirms, of President
Garfield Admitting the general cor.
rectness Of this severely Spartan die.
tum, STILL the first criticism that oc.
ours Is that perhaps President Gar.
field and Mr.. Carnegie are not alto
gether unprejudiced witnesses. They
were both born poor, sprung from a
stock of lowly parentage;" by the ma
tive force that they possessed they
both rose to high distinction, and
came to fill large space in the field
Of view of the worlds fame. For
them the hardy climate of early pov.
erty and struggle proved to be the
best, But does it follow that Il must
therefore be the best for every one,
for those natures, for instance, which,
while gifted with fine and high pos.
sibilities. lack the natural hardlhood
and tough, stern strength of men like
President Garfield and Mr.. Carnegie? =?
Almost inevitably these mighty men,
when they have reached the crownlng
slope cannot help thinking that what
proved an invigorating discipline for
them must be the same to every one.
But Is such generalization warrant
ed by facts? In England the climate
OF a conservatory would be the very
worst for the oak, but it is the best
for the vine. May not human pecu-
liarities of gifts of genius and innate
possibilities of deeds of high en-
prize similarly differ? Eneryating
surroundings. of course, must in every
case be injurious. but what would be
sickly eneryation in one case may be
the very breath of life in another.
The frost in which some minds
flourish and, like cedars fling back
the wintry storm, may blight others
into frost bitten ruin. John Morley,
Mr. Carnegie's friend, was probably
not nursed in the lap of luxury, but
| he had not TO struggle with Mr.. Car
negie's or with President Garfeld's
rough early surroundings He obtain
ed the quiet culture of Oxford. His
mind grew and "1ourishcd in a grove
of academic learning. Is it likely that
as a poor lad he ever could have
climbed his rough way up mountains
of pig iron or of steel ingots to wave

which made such success possible? ?
! The factors seem to have been three

HoG-DRESSED CALVES.
Attract the Eye Of the Customer, and
Bring Much Better Prices,

Bring Much Better Prices.
Farmers having calves to sell can
realize the most money for them by
slaughtering and sending them TO
market instead of selling them alive
at home. They not only save the mid
dleman's profits, but II the calves are
properly dressed they should com
mand as high prices as city.dressed
veal, although the latter now sells for
from one to four cents per pound more
than veas dressed in the country and
shipped to the commission merchants.
The principal difference is in the ap-
penrance, on account of the often
slovenly and careless manner of coun-
try dressing. The city butchers un-
derstand that in order to meet the
wants of their customers, the first
class shop butchers, or retailers who
are willing to pay the highest prices,
the veal must he dressed to attract the
eye of customer The calf should
be of good form and have a firm and
solid feel; the flesh white and well
set; the kidneys we'll covered; and
the fat not torn, mussed or bloody,
and free from blood or wet inside.
The following plain directions for
dressing and shipping veals and rea.
sons therefor are made up from an
experience of thirty-seven years in
handling. dressing and selling calves
in the market.
An open shed or building with doors
at each end or side, to allow free
current of air and facilitate the cool
ing and drying as soon as possible, is
the best for the purpose. The calf
should remain quiet at least two hours
before slaughtering. Knock It on the
head and hang up evenly by both
hind legs, keeping them about fifteen
inches apart mt the hook joints, leav-
Ing the legs on. Cut the throat, neck,
flesh and bone through, leaving the
head adhering by the skin. Let 1t
hang until all the blood is thoroughly
drained from The veins and flesh; then
open the carcass by Sitting the belly
from near the udder to the breast

he Is almost a teetotaler and his in
difference to food has passed into a
legend One evening he came home
somewhat Unexpectedly to his house
at Twickenham; there was no dinner
ready. GO" said Labby to his hor-
rified butler, "to the nearest ham and
beef shop and bring me back some
cold ham and beef" The food was
brought back; he adds that it was con-
veyed in an old newspaper-but that
is probably a little embroidery of his
own invention-and he says that he
seriously thought of dispensing with
cooks and having his food brought
from the neighboring shop every
night. He certainly could have adopt
ed this practice without any personal
sense of deprivation. He tells how
once a somewhat awed host showed
his sense of Labby's superiority by
presenting him with sandwiches
made of ham and sponge cake! Lab
by ate the sandwiches with keen
pleasure; the prospect of telling the
story was an additional condiment to

Leo Amputated Under Hypnotsm

DIR. Frank G.. Aldrich. a London
physician, gives the following remark
able account of the amputation of a
woman's leg during with no anaesthe'
tic but hypnotlsm was used. The
patient was a single woman, aged
thirty-three years, on whom for sew
eral reasons, it was not considered de-
sirable to use ordinary anaesthetics
At 3.45 D. m. she was put to Sleep"
not being informed that the operation
was to be performed. AT 4.30, while
preparations were being made in the
room for the operation, she became
rather restless, and the doctor cover
ed her eyes. She Immediately object
ed. saying, Don't cover my eyes" al
though she was apparently fast asleep.
So her eyes were uncovered AT 40
everything being in readiness, | told
her that the operation was to COM
mence and that she would feel
nothing. She said, All right, hold my
hands, and while she spoke the skin
incisons were made. During the
course OF the operation she several
times asked the nurse for, and drank
sips of water and little port wine,
and made general remarks" The leg
was removed at the knee, not the least
indication, even by twitch or vince,
being given of any pain during the
operation. At $50 the doctors left
her quite comfortable, and at 6.3O she
ate a light supper. She made a good
recovery and in a month was out OF
doors
