this way that, that it sometimes fails to recog-
nize the truth when it is spoken. For instance, a
number of years ago great western capitalist said
in an interview that the Almighty is working for
the benefit of the ST. Paul Railroad" What he
meant by that that the crops bOunti-
full and that the railroad reaPing large profits
as the farmers reaped their grain. The street,
however interpreted the remark as evidence that

1t would be interesting, no doubt, If some great
expert in stOck-rnarket speculation would give
lecture on this subject. But suppose he told what
he knew about the art? 1t would probably be found
that after all he was describing combinations
and new variations to old Devices old in fact as

Three Great States of Health

tn considering the lines Of success therefore take
it for granted that the initial mistake of select
ing the wrong strategic line has been avoided. We
will now proceed to find those constants of success
which are the abiding elements of all efficient
action. Those constants not so numerous
as some people would have us believe. They are
broad, general. clear; and it is perhaps account
of their genuine simplicity that so many people
not aware of them with sufficient distinct
ness. To these constants belong, in the first
place the three great states of health There is
health of the body health of ones moral integrity
and health of the finances. AS soon as anyone
OF these species of health is unbalanced or re-
duced, get into condition of decentralization in
which the strenuous work needed for successful
activity is more or less impossible Let us now
briefly consider each of these essential constants
With regard to physical health, it cannot be too
energetically stated that our scientific knowledge
OF the causes of well being and disease is as vet so
utterly poor, so incipient and tentative that any
person regulating his her diet and regime accord
ing to what is believed to be an accepted theory
of medical science must in the majority of cases end
by injuring his or her health Without fear of any
serious contradiction, one may assert that in the

"HE line of success being a
strategic line, and a strategic
line taking its direction from
its angle at the very beginning, it is
evident that everyone desirous of
success must first of all avoid COM
mitting any initial mistake. In fact,
it is clear that whatever precautions
man may take, however carefully
one may prepare himself for the
career chosen, mistakes in the course
of ones work are inevitable, and
must be discounted in advance. Is it
not indeed in COnSOnance with true
religion to assume that if to make
mistakes is human, it is, as it were,
the business of the Divine Power to
correct our unavoidable mistakes?
But one class of mistakes, it would
appear, even the Divine Power is not
willing to forgive. This is the initial
mistake. The most practical, and in
many ways most experienced, nation
of the world, the ancient Romans,
used to say that nothing that is
vitiated at the outset can ever be
mended in the course of time. An

Rothschild's Financial Ruse

what he had done was commendable piece OF enter

that ROthschld had right to profit by reason OF his
superior information gained at such cost of bodily
exerton and actual money although strict mOraists
will hold that he had right to profit by the certain
loss of Others or, to use the gambling phrase, by
betting on a sure thing" But ROthschild was not
content with this advantage, for by clever rse he
gave currency to report that Wellington had been
defeated. This he did by one of those half-truthS
which are more decevng than whole lies. OF course
he made great fortune.

AND FINANCES

Nature is distinctly British in that
she does not like to be interfered with,
or to be annoyed by questions. She
wants to be left alone, in splendid
isolation. She has an ugly knack Of
hitting back hard; and the more we
listen to her, the more we shall have
reason to be thankful to her. For
reasons, into which this is not the
opportunity of entering, too many
people are desperately fond of brow
beating Nature, of despising the
grand old lady, of sneering at her
1t never pays. We can no more Jump
outside nature than over our own
heads.
OF the health or integrity of honor it
may perhaps be said that it IS, if pos
Sible, even more important than physi-
cal health. By honor we here do not
mean only common moral integrity;
that IS, that one must not steal nor lie.
This is too self-evident. We mean that
healthy relation to ourselves and TO
other people which does not admit of
that curse of modern life, of false
positions. n great French socialist
thinker used to say that property

which nutrition by solids and liquids is going on
in bodies We neither understand fully the
nature and function of the liver and of the gas
trio juice, nor that of many another organ in our
digestive apparatus
Ignorance of Cause of Disease
THIS statement is borne out by the avowa1s of
many of the greatest modern men of research;
and it is perhaps exaggeratiOn to say that we
are with regard to the real process by which nutri
t1On is commenced, continued, and completed, as
much in darkness as we were with regard to the
action of the heart before Harvey, in the first half
of the seventeenth century discovered the circulation
of the blood This remark refers, it will be Seen only
to normal physiology When inquire
whether our knowledge of the causes of disease is
seriously much in advance of that of the DOCTORS
OF the sixteenth century, is undOu btedlV
knowledge of anatomy or surgery, then the answer
can be given only with great hesitation.
The causes OF disease are, 1t IS to be feared still
a topic on which our most advanced medical men
are still much in the dark. There is. it must
be admitted, more fashion in diseases than under
standing thereof At present it is hardly facetious
to say that Self-reSpeCting man or woman will
entertain the idea of making the acquaintance of a
person, unless that person has undergone at least
one operation for appendicitis.
But II we seriously consider how immensely
difficult it is to unravel in that most complicated
body OF ours what effects certain food, drink,
mcrobe, or drug may or may not have, when we
furthermore consider that the various schools of
to one another, cannot but come to the con-
cuSion that the one safe way to lasting physical
Heall!i IS a close observation OF OneS own nature,
together with that of the nearest members of his
family.
A Matter of Common Sense
IN order therefore, to secure health proper that IS
the first great constant of success the probably
sanest advice Is this that ought not to accent
any general system of diet whether wholly carnivo-
rous or wholly vegetarian mixed nor ought one
to take 1t for granted that any general abStention
from tins or that article of food drink has been
proved to be conducive to vigorous health. No such
theory has as yet been proved that would hold
good generally. The average Turk never drinks
aicohohc drinks and is strong man; the average
Frenchman never drinks water and vet has of an

reaching, when once fOrty-four years old the age of
seventy Most peasants on the Continent are pract-
