The reason there are so many men foundering in business from year is because their early mercantile education was neglected. Ask the men in high commercial circles, and they will teil you they thank God for this so vere discipline of their early clerkship, Youecan afford to endure the wilderness march, If it is going to end in the vine. yards and the lagd. vr But you say: “Will ths wor inly clorks in our stores have promotion?” Yea Time is coming when women will be as well paid for their toil in mer. cantile circles as men are now pald for thelr toll. Time is coming when a wor man will be allowed to doanything she ean do well. It was only alittle while when women knew nothing of telegraphy, and they were kept out of a great many commercial circles where they are now welcome; and the time will go on until the woman who bt one counter in the store sells 85,000 worth of goods a year, will get as high » salary as the man who at the other year to orchards of ProZoisuia sounter of the same store sells $5,000 worth of goods, All honor to Lydia the Christian saleswoman The socond counsel I have clerks is that you seek out what are the lawful regulations of your estab. lishment, and then submit to them Every wellordered house has it usages. In military life, ship's de life, there must be ors ine. Those people who how to obey will never how to command. 1 will tell you what young man will make ruin, cial and moral; it is the young vho thrusts his thumb into shall “Nobody to my own master; I will not to the regulations of this Between an establishment in all the employes are under thorough discipline and the estab ment in which the en as they choose, is tween and rapid sccumulation and utter bank- ruptey.

For instance: A great war comes. The manufactories are closed, The people go off to battle The price of goods runs up. A cus tomer comes into a store. Goods have gone up. “How much js that worth?"' “A dollar.” “A dollar. Outrageous A dollar.” Why, who is to blame for the fact thet it has got to be a dollar? Does the indignation go out tw the manufacturers on the banks of the Merrimac, because they have closed up? No Does the indignation go out toward the employer, who Is out'st his country seat? No, It come on the clerk. He got up the war! He levied the taxes! He puts up the rents! Of course, the clerk! i Then a great trial comes to clerks in the fact that they see the parsimoni ous side of human nature.

Before the mothars set out to work in the morning thay wrap their babies in swaddling bands, loav- ing nothing but their little faces ex. posed. Then the babies are taken and Indd under a ledge of rock from which water is falling, and by moans of a bamboo the water is made to drip gon. tly on each baby's forehead. The effect of the dripping water is most soothing, and soon tho little ones are all asleep and remain motionless till taken wnwranned. dried and fed Ask N ot She M it f was | 'hem to See BEWARE OF MORPHINE.
