Since the death of General Manager
S. S. Merrill, of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St Paul Railroad, and the publica
tion of his history, a very humble class
of railroad employes has been made the
subject of much inquiry. They are
those who attend to the general track
repairs of a railroad line. To show
their possibilities it is cited that Mr.
Merrill, in fifteen years time, rose from
the position of section hand to general
manager of one of the most prosperous
roads in this country. One day he
asked for work at a railroad office, and,
when questioned as to what he could do,
replied:
"I can use a shovel ana pick. "
He was eiven work with a gansr of
railway graders, and in 1858 was made
foreman of tne gang. Joy sneer nara
work he earned promotion after promo
tion, in turn becoming conductor, pay
master, assistant superintendent, chief
superintendent of a division, assistant
reneral manager, and tnen general
anager. This position was tendered
him in 1865. JHe was not a man of lib
eral or even a common school education.
but one of practical ideas, sound com
mon sense, and judgment. He knew
every round of the ladder, and for that
reason was an excellent manager of
men. No One was ever more admired
and respected by those under him. His

lowest stratum of railroad employes,
and yet ne is, to a great extent, a

of a routine nature, still he must have

overcome difficulties. This department
of a railroad is one of the most im

WHAT 13 CATABHH?
Catarrh is muco-nurulent discharge caused by the
presence and development of the vegetable parasite
amoeba in the internal lining membrane of the nose.
This parasite is only developed nnder favorable circum
stances, and these are: Morbid state of the blood, as the
blighted corpuscle of tubercle, the germ puiaon of gyp lu
lls, mercury, torutmea, from the retention of the eifete
matter of the skin, suppressed perspiration, badly ven
tilated sleeping apartments, and other poisons that are
germinated in the blood. These poisons keep the internal
lining membrane of the nose in a eoastant state of irri
tation, ever ready for the deposit of the seeds of these
? etuis, which spread up the nostrils and down the
auces or back of throat, causing ulceration of the
throat; up the eustachian tube", causing deafness; bur
rowing in the vocal cords, causing hoarseness; usurping
the proper structure of the bronchial tubes, ending in
pulmonary consumption and death. -
Many attempts Dave oeen maae to discover a cure ior
this distressing disca-wi by the use of inhalents and other
ingenious devices, but none of these treatments can do
a particle of guod until the parasites are either destroyed
or removed from the mucous tissue.
Home time since a well known physician of forty years
standing, after much experimenting, succeeded in dis
covering the necesoany combination oi ingredients which
never fails in absolutely and peymanently eradicating
this horrible disease, whether standing for one year or
forty years. Those who may be suffering from the above

mon, plum pudding and Cheshire
cheese are exactly the groundwork re
quired by man at least Saxon man
to form the physical basis of the cor
poreal existenoe. French dishes tickle
the palate, but they do not lay healthy
flesh on the bones calm tne nerves and
make pure blood. These desiderata are
attained by a steady course of British
feeding. In. proof of what I say, one
has only to take a walk at any hour of
the day in Hyde Park and watch the
promenaders there. As specimens of
the human animal, the varied nationali
ties whose aristocracy one meets in the
verdant lanes and smooth esplanades of
that beauteous greenery, all yield the
palm to John Bull and his woman kind,
with their bright eyes, rosy cheeks and
rplend d physical Jevelopme t. Moral
of all this: Eat plenty of oast beef
and juicy steak, boiled mutton, plain
boiled potatoes, bread a day old, and
simple suet puddings. Avoid hashes
(whose nourishing qualities have all
departed in the recooking) , lobster
salads, meals of the innutritir ts oyster
alone, hot rolls, newly-baked bread,
rich pastry, candy and" wtfcery soups.
In America we have no national cuisine,
but the choice of all the enisines of the
world is at hand, and therefore there is
no reason why a perfectly healthy diet
should net be selected by every radrvid
cai. Olive Leoan. .

the rowing machine or boat is advised;
if the chest is flat, parallel bars are in

GENERAL GORDON.
The Unique Characteristics of tfaca Hero ot
The life of General Gordon is without
a parallel in history. He had a will as
imperious as Napoleon's; he had a
nature as inflexible as Cromwell's; he
had dive's genius for war and fertility
of resource; he hai' Jan Lawrence's
capacity for governing semi-civilized
races: he had Irancis Aavier 8 over
mastering love of humanity. But with
these traits were combined a chivalrous
devot.on to the races -for whom he
labored, with a contempt for the states
manship of Europe, an unquestioning
reliance upon the law of his own con
science, and an intense religious nature
that reflected at once - the mysticism of
the middle ages, the austere virtues of
Puritanism and the fatalism of the East.
A man of commanding genius in achiev-
i - m
ing great results dv means or insig
nificant instrumentalities, and in con
ciliating the prejudices and overcoming
the resistance of barbaric hordes, he
was at once a hero among men, and a
solitary figure removed from them by
unique characteristics.
There is, perhaps, no other country
in the world where such a character as
General Gordon's would be so easily
misunderstood as England. His som
bre genius, his mediaeval piety and his
devotion to the interest of semi-civilized
rnces. had little in common with the in
tensely practical instincts of the Nation.
His contempt for the tedious processes
of diplomacy, and his indifference . to
the fate of ministries and the policy of
governments, marked him out as a mys
terious idealist, whose judgment was
not to be accepted without hesitation
and reserve. He returned from China
to face a storm of obloquy and reproach
from the humanitarians who mistook
him for a cold-blooded butcher of the
Chinese population., His work in the
equatorial provinces and his battles
with the slave-hunters were neither un
derstood nor appreciated by English
men, while he incurred the hostility of
the ring of pachas at Cairo through his
administrative refonrs. At Mauritius,
in Basuto-Land and in India he found
it impossible to endure official restraint
HU mission to South Africa was a com
pl te failure, and it was not until as an
arbitrator he had personally decided
that , China should not declare
war against Russia that the
English people began to comprehend
the genius of this grim Puritan warrior.1
His roving commission as miracle work
er in the Soudan was regarded at first
with enthusiasm, but the moment he ar
rived at Khartoum every proclamation
that he issued, every proposal that he
made, was criticised and misconstrued.
The Government which had dispatched
him across the desert refused to follow
his advice. The humanitarians de
nounced him as the slaveholder's ally.
Practical politicians " condemned his
nomination of Zebehr as his successor
as the act of a fanatical madman.
But even EnglisL-men awoke at last
to a consciousness of General Gordon's
heroic qualities. For nearly a year that
solitary European ha3 held his ground
a?ain?t a horde of barbarians. He has
raised armies and paid ' them without
money. He has conducted a marvel?
lous campaign by promising liberty to
several thousands of blacks and by
mounting: rusty artillery on a fleet of
leaking hulks. He has stood on the
broken rampant, a solitary English sen
try refusing to desert those who had
trusted in him, and awaiting an army
of rescuers which never came. And
there he will remain in the memory of
the natien a sublime figure, never to
be forgotten; his heroism, fortitude,
chivalrous loyalty and Christian faith
understood at last. N. F. Tribune.
V No Danger.
Mr. Minks "My dear, you should
net put coins in your mouth, for dis
eases are often caught in that way. I
noticed yesterday that while you were
loeking through your pocketbook for
small change to give the street-car con
ductor you placed a quarter between
your lips and held it there. r
Mrs. Minks "Well, suppose I did;!
where s the harm.' '
"YC)U should read the papers, Mrs,
Minks. Scientists have discovered
bacteria on silver coins. Do you know
what terriD e things bacteria are?
. "Not exactly, no." . , '
. "Why, they are little animals which
get into the human system and cause all
sorts of diseas:8." ;
"Is thst all? Well, then I am in no
danger from the money you give me."
- "And why not, pray?
"You always squeeze a quarter hard
enough to crush all animal life out of
