ffee Rise of Andrew arnegie. . Bobbin Bog. III a wee Biuret of nn humble work Ingmnn's home in the olil city of Dun fermline, Hcotlnnd. wn horn Andrew Carnegie, tlie great uteri millloniil-e of i.nicricn, writes n correspondent of the New York World. I linve just visited the birthplace of Andrew Cnrncgle. down on Moodle street, betwixt John l.ondcn"s lliinor tore and the glassworks lu Dunferm line. William Carnegie, the weaver, con tented himself with a single upper room twelve feel itinre, where lived the whole Carnegie household on No vember -'.". is:i7, when Andrew Hist saw Unlit. The Carnegie house was of the rebellions (( puhllean stripe and was known to have n reliel Ha a In the garret. This innde tronhle and event ually landed nn Uncle In the "gaol." In the course of time Carnegie thrift made Itself felt. The weaver became the proprietor of four ilnniask loom ud employed two or three nppre tlees. lie celebrated his prosperity hy moving downstairs, where he paid ."l Od. rent Instead of f.'I say. about f23. tin had two rooms to accommo date his growing family. Recently Mr. Carnegie purchased his birthplace nnd that upper room is now sacredly vnennt. Two thlugs make the year 1S8 famous.- During that year revolution shook every throne lu llurope. mid William Carnegie, his wife, Tom and Andrew Carnegie emigrated to Amer ica. The steam looms made unprofita ble the busluess of the small manufac turers. The weaver of Moodie street had been obliged to sell his four dam nsk looms and turn his face to the West. He secured a Job In a Pennsyl vania woolen mill. Tom and Andrew became bobbin boys From bobbin boy In n linen factory to niultl-mlllloualre. Such Is the story of Andrew Carnegie. It is not n tale of luherlted wenlili, nor Is It out c' luck. He started on the lowermost round of the ladder nnd worked to the top all within sixty-four years. With the money accumulated by the alo of his effects the elder Carnegie purchased passage to America 4n a tailing ship lu 1848. The voyage oc cupied seven weeks. On reaching this country the Car ocgles went directly to relatives living near nttsburg. The family of which Andrew was tt member consisted of four persous, father, mother, Andrew (the eldest son, aged eleven years) nnd Thomas, who died n few years after the Caruegles came to America. The early education of Andrew Car negie was entirely In the hands of his mother. Into his mind she Inculcated t deep love for Itoliert Bums. ' So poor was the family on reaching Pittsburg that young AuUre.w was obliged to be put to work. Ills first employment was (is bobbin boy In n linen factory at $1.20 per week. The first money lie received was given to bis mother. During young Carnegie's employ ment ns bobbin boy lie had learned to ' run a small steam engine In the cellar of the factory. His employer, finding be possessed this knowledge, took him from his post In tho mill aud relegat ed him to tho dingy cellnr, giving him charge of the engine. . The position did not suit Carnegie. Be wanted light and congenial asso ciation. One day when out on his "forty minutes' leave" for lunch be applied for a position as messenger boy In the Ohio Telegraph Company. CARNEGIE'S 8KIBO CASTLE IN SCOTLAND. He was engaged at a salary of $2.60 per week. Mr. James Held, superintendent of the office, . speaking of Carnegie at this time, said: "I liked the boy's fice. and It was easy toJ lee that though he was little he was full of spirit. He bad not bee J with me a month when he began to ask If I would teach him how totelegraph. I began to Instruct liltn nad found him nn npt pupil. He spent nil his spare time In practice, sending nnd receiving by sound nnd not by tape, ns was largely the custom In those days. Carnegie's father died nt this time (18.12), when Andrew wv.s but fifteen years old. nnd the responsibility of the family support felt upou the lad's 111 yfwp. ANDHEW shoulders. He obtained n position as operator nt $25 per mouth. When Andrew Carnegie was eigh teen years old tho I'ennsylrnnln Rail road needed nn operator. As young Carnegie had the reputation of being an expert he obtained tho place. He mastered the details of train despatch Ing nnd made some suggestions for facilitating the work, which brought ill m to the attention of Colonel Thom as A. Scott, Vlce-Presldeut of the road. One day. when Carnegie stood ou the back platform of a enr examining the condition of a certain part of the road-bed. lie was accosted by T. T. Woodruff, who desired to exhibit a model of the sleeping car which be had Invented. A small company was formed, and the first sleeping cars to be usett In the world were built for the Peunsyl vanla road. Young Carnegie was of fered au luterest, which ho accepted. When the Civil War broke out nnd Colonel Scott became Assistant Sec retary of War, Carnegie was placed In charge of the Government telegraph communications. After tlie war Carnegie purchased with others the famous Storey Farm, INTERIOR OF CARNEGIE'S BIRTHPLACE. on Oil Creek, Penu. Tho purchase price was $40,000, and shortly It paid an annual profit of $1,000,000. This gave Carnegie bis first start In life ns a capitalist. At thirty bo had laid the foundation of bis wealth. After starting tho Key stone Bridge Company he founded the Edgar Thomson Steel Rail Company. He then acquired the Homestead and other plants. In 1888 be bad seven steel companies, among wblcb were the Homestead, Edgar Thomson, Du- r qneso Lacy Furnaces, Upper and Lower Union Rolling Milts, etc. Bklbo Castle, Andrew Cnrnegle'l home la Scotland, Is one of the finest estates In the highlands. Its broad grounds, vast apnrtmonts, battlement and escarpments are In high contrast with the little house nt Dunfermline wherein Mr. Carnegie was born. But humble ns Is the lowly home of bis boyhood, the great philanthropist thinks more of It than of his castle. At Sklbo Mr. Carnegie spends much of his time. Its Invigorating climate, CAUXEUIK, Its Inviting countryside, the pleasant neighbors surrounding It, make It an ideal summer borne. Few country seats In the United Kingdom are of finer estate than this highland abode where the American millionaire will spend the summer nt rest. Charles M. Schwab, the man who has been selected through the Influ ence of Andrew Carnegie for tLl CHARLES H. SCHWAB. President of the new steel trust, lias risen from the rim Us of labor. Mr. Schwab Is n native of Pennsylvania, and Is thirty-nine years old. Comfort For 111 Stronger Bex, The crusade of tho shirt waist for meu began lu earnest last summer, and as the wearers seemed to derive solid comfort from the luuovatlon it is likely that the battle will be waged again the coming season with renewed VENTILATED SHIRT WAIST FOB 1IEK, Interest until the man In a shirt waist no longer attracts attention on the street. Since this article of wearing upparel has come to stuy the luventor has taken it In bnnd U Improve ou the original style, nnd ndd to the comfort to be derived from the garment. Miles E. Johuson has just been granted a patent on the shirt waist pictured herewith, which comprises .something more than a plain row of tucks. These tucks are a deception to the eye, for they are in reality a series of separate strip of cloth, overlapping each other nt the edes and attuched to a num ber of vertical strips underneath, which serve to hold the tucks lu place, without Interfering with tbo free cir culation of air underneath the waist.

KMasatloa. Relax. Relaxation Is of more value than distraction, pleasure or holidays. Relaxation means the freedom of or gans nnd vlssues from this hateful ten sion. How often do we hear a hurrying woman say: "I haven't time to rest. I've no much to do." Hurry and worry am physical sins. When you feel most hurried or worried, thea I the time to relax. Whut Is relaxation? Simply doing notblug. Give up: let go; surrender the nerve forces. Here is the first step toward ieurniag how to relsx: With the arms bunging ut tlie sides, forcibly agi tate the hands until they feel heavy, like dead weights. Shake them forward and buckward, laterally and In circles, from anil toward each other. Shake all iIih xtiflues out of these direct agents I of the uiiad, that by their restlessness and tension report mental strnlu. uy continued practice of this simple exer cise yon will soou become sole to with draw nerve force from them at your will.

Oats nnd wheat straw nre fairly good feed for horses when they nre not doing hard work. However, Idlo horses should not be compelled to sub sist entirely ou this kind of feed. They Should bo given some grain and a small amount of some nutritions hay. Then, too, some horses eat straw more readily than others. A few will np pnrently thrive ou It, while others will get thin. Tntierenlnals In Knglnntl. Examination of the cows supplying the city of Manchester, Euglnnd, with milk, has shown that tuberculosis Is much less prevalent than commonly supposed. An examination of 1887 cows showed only six udders to be tuberculous After bacteriological exam ination, or a number equal to about .:2 per cent. In addition to this ofllclnl examination of cows, 135 samples of milk were tnken nt various railway stations representing tlie milk from 108 farms, at which there were 2ot!8 milking cows, and lu twelve cases the milk wns found to be tuberculous. On examining the farms from' which the samples originated. It wns only possi ble to discover tuberculous udders nt fire of them. A Rnch For Koitclcr, A very good fodder rack for rattle Is made either of poles or of lumber. A plnnk will answer for the bottom of the rack proper, aud the boards should be far enough apart to let the cattle get the fodder freely from the rack. The outside rack will catch the surplus and stock will pick that over Inter on when the supply runs short In the rack. It Is built on runners so1 It can be moved from place to pnleo with a team. The outside rack should be made of heavy poles, as tho1 reaching of the cattle will break ordi nary lumber.

The great difficulty in breeding fowls where ono wishes to breed from certain hens of tho flock aud to keep a pedigree of the fowls raised Is to distinguish the eggs of each ben. While every hen lays an egg that differs materially from every other It Is not always an eusy mutter to distinguish them, nor to tell what hen lays a certain egg. It Is only within a few years that the trap nest has been Invented, which mnkes possible and eusy the keeping of a record with each ben. Tbe advantages of the trap nest are many. To tbe commercial poultry keeper tbey enable blm to sort out tbe non-layers of wblcb there are al ways some In a large flock. The best layers can be distinguished and their eggs kept for setting nnd in this way the egg record of a flock can be In creased greatly In two or three years. To the fancier the trap nest appeal most strongly, for It enables him to breed pedigreed stock with uo dan ger of gettlug It mixed. The trap nest Is a simple contriv ance. It consists of a box with a trap frout so made us to close and contlne the heu when she en ters. She Is locked In nud kept there until let out. With u numbered leg bund a record can be easily kept with each heu. The styles of trap nests differ materially aud there are several patented ones ou the market ns well as several which are not patented. In uslug them It Is necessary that the peai be equipped eutircly with them nud from ouu-tblrd to one-hulf as many nests are needed ns there are laying bens. Tbe bens must be let out three or four times u day nud the eggs removed, but other thau this no extra work la required. The adoption of tbe trap nest will work a great Im provement In every flock.
