Miss jessie Alderman, who has been
travelling In japan. writes suggestlvely
OF the prohibition Island" in the
japanese group. It is said that several
years ago the 800 people on the island
entered into y solemn compact to drink
no more OF their native drinks and not
to allow any other intoxlcants to be
landed on their shores. They were a
drinking people, having consumed in
one year $50 casks of ''sski, )" the native
drink. There were those. OF course,
who were opposed TO the compact; but
finally all signed it. and It has been
kept. The situation at the end OF the
first Ave years Is summed up in these
words: Crime is almost unknown,
poverty is thing OF the past. aud
general prosperity has been the reward
OF an unpopular innovation" The
most significant thing about this &C
count is the statement that this action
was taken where the principles of
christianity were unknown, and where
moral sentiment was considered to be
far below par"
ANDREW CARNEGIE's GOOD ADVICE.
In his new book entitled 1.-The En-.
pire of business by Doubleday, Page
& Co., Mr.. Andrew Carnegie gives
some sound advice to young men. He
says:
You all know there is no genuine
praiseworthy success in life if you are
not honest, truthful, fair-dealing.
l assume you are and wilt remain all
these and also that you are determined
to lead pure, respectable lives, free
from pernicious or equivocal relations
with one sex or the other. There IS no
creditable future for you else. Other
wise your learning aud our advantages
not only go for naught, but serve 10
accentuate your failure and your dis
grace.
1.-The first and most seductive, and
the destroyer of most young men. is
the drinking of liquor. l am no
temperance lesturer In disguise. but a
man who knows and tells you what OBJ.
servation has proved to him; and Say
to you that you are more likely to fail
in your career from acquiring the
habit of drinking liquor than from any
or all the other temptations likely to
assail you.
1.-The next greatest danger to a young
business man in this community l be-
lieve to be that of speculation. Game.
sters die poor and there Is certainly not
an instance of speculator who has
lived life creditable to himself or ad.
vantageous to the community. The
man who grasps the morning paper to
see how his speculative ventures upon
the Exchange are likely to result. units
himself for the calm consideration and
proper solution OF business problems,
with which he has to deal later in the
day, and saps the sources of that per.
sistent and concentrated energy upon
which depend the permanent success,
and often the very safety of his main
business"
