Drink. Tobacco, and Dukes.
The curse Of drink is the cause of
more failures in life than anything
else. You can surmount every other
FAULTY habit. but the man who is a
confirmed drinker has not one chance
IN q million of success in life," said
Andrew alnar Carnegie last night. in ad-
dressing the evening classes of Pratt
Institute. Brooklyn, at their com
mencement exercises
Liquor will conquer you, a million
chances to one, II you once give it

Mr.. Carnegie, after relating a story

young men exclaimed:
THAT was a model employer How
much better for the daughter to marry

Dogs Work the Bellows.
On an uptown street. in the east side
| OF the city, hundreds of people daily
pause at a blacksmith's shop to watch
three large Newfoundland dogs which
are employed by the smith to work the
bellows Of the forges of his shop. In
] one corner of the place is a wooden
wheel, about eight feet in diameter
and wide enough for a dog to stand in
When the wheel is at rest the dog
stands in much the same position as
the horse in a child's rocker, with its
head toward the forge, awaiting Or
ders.
When told to ''go ahead" the beast
! on duty at once starts on brisk trot,
which makes the wheel turn around
rapidly and by means of crank and
lever the power is conveyed to the bel
| lows. The dogs work willingly and
with such intelligence that pedestrians
are never weary Of watching the efforts
Of the animals to keep the smiths fires
bright. Each dog works in the wheel
for one hour and then rests for two.
The three dogs cost their owner about
"a week to keep, plenty of meat being
given the beasts at each meal, and he
estimates that they save him SIG a
| week, as otherwise 1t would require at
least the services of two men or q
small engine to do their work.-New
York Press.
Tuberculosis Turks i'm Healthy Lungs.
That the bacilli Of consumption and
pneumonia are present in the bodies of
| at least 80 per cent of the human fam
lily is fact asserted at Montclair, N.
J., the other night, by DR.. Simon Flex-
ner, Of the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research, who delivered a lee
ture before the Outlook club on 1.-The
Biological Mechanisms of Immunity
from Infectious Disease"
DR.. Flexner discounted this startling
information, however, by stating that
they did no harm Unless a severe cold
or some other means of weakening the
lungs allowed them to penetrate the
outer passages. Other bacilli the lee
turer asserted, were foreign to the hu-
man body, their presence always pro-
ducing disease If admitted freely, al
though many persons could banish
them with no i'll effects IL in sound
health when they were admitted.-New
