A Chicago Millionaire's Career.

The late Mr Philip Armour, whose death was announced on January 7th, will chiefly be remembered for two things. The first is that he raoro th«n anyone else made Ohic»go what it now U 9 the meat packing m <tropoiis of the world, and the second that, ha defeated Mr Joseph Lpiter, after a great struggle when that young gentleman tri«d to corner the wheat supply of the world. Mr Armour's house did an iinnienae trade with foreign Powers, and their wares have been utilised by nearly all European armies in recent ware. Mr Armour was born in Stockbridgp, N.Y, in 1882. His parents were from Ul ster, bufe like many of the Ulster people, had more Scottish than Imh blood in their veins. Educated in the common schools, Armour afterwards mined in Oalii:oroi» for four years without making a pile, and it was not till he became associated with tbo packing firm of Plankinton, Armour & Co, in 1863,- that he began to go ahead. Now the firm do a business in meat,, prov sious, and the immediate by pro duce of these substances to an amount of over 175,000,000 dollars in a year, besides selling (Miiions of dollars' worth more of soaps, fertilisers, felts, pepsiD, and a dcz-m Articles woiked up In as nc&ny separate factories from materials coming from the packing house and the abbatoir. An American trade paper, describing the works, said : —• Nothing is lost bufc the squeal of the pig The carcase meat goes into trade; the blood is dried and sold for clarifying purposes ; the entrails are cleaned and m%de iniosausage casings ; the hides are matketf d j the horns sold to comb makers; the hoofs are turned into neat's foot oil j the parings of the hoofs, hides, and bones are con verted into glue at the glaeworks, where 15,000,000 lb of glue is annually m ado by the Company's factory; the switches and tailends got the lair and mattress merchants; the short nair goes to (he Armour )elfc works; the larger bones go to the makers of cutler's knife handles, and for other purposes: the finest of the fats are turned into lard, oils, and the finest tallows ; era» der fata into soap grease. What is left is the squeal of the pig, the bleat of the sheep, and the bellow of the beef; They go to the winds-, since there is no market for homeless voices.' Since 1875 M> Armour has been sole dictator of the huge concern koown as Armour & Co. Although absolutely ruthless In pushing a commercial advantage, Mr Armour spent his vast wealth gener ously. He founded the Armour Insti tute of Technology, at a cost, of two aod a half .million dollars. If there is a touch of romance in Mr Armour's history it is in the belief—partly legendary—that Jean Araoour—Burns' •Bonnie Jran ' —was a member of the Ayrshire family from which he was descended.

HOW BILE BE AIS S FOR BILTOUF- KtSSIJSDEPTHE L\DY'S &.ISBBY

What in t he way of ailm nts can be more distressing tb*n nervous and eick headaches? T!*e sufferer goes through the cUy't> Sub* ur rlmott in p half deadly state, and life becomes a coiistant existence of dread und inieeiy. Over worked brain may induce headache, or establish a predisposition to its attacks. In some casts the br-un acuiilly swells, and when it is considered how sensitive sr« those dainty ctgans even the non aufferpr will be> able to form a slight idea of the wretchedness of the dis order. The comp'aint is not confined to the head alone, but it brings sick ness, f.ik-tness, d zziness in i!s wak°. The sight fails, and many instances are recorded where the hearing has become impaired. It is seldom that nervous and sick headache exists without liver derangements, and that Is the reason why Biie Beano for bilioosnes have been the median) of curing bo many poir sufferers. The letter which we pub'ish from Mrs 0 Donaldson, wife of Mr J A Donald son, storekeeper, of Hopper Street, Wellington, N.Z, speaks more in eulogy of Bile Bears for Bllioasnei3 than columns and columns of explanitery matter: Thie is what she says:— 18 For many years past I aufipred from Biliousness and Nervous Headache. Only those who have suffered from these complaints can form any con ception of what I have gone through. To eat anything was simply torture, and at times I became so dizzy that I could see nothing bat stars floating before aic I frequently felt sick and faint. I goes without saying that I tried to obviate this state of affairs, in fact, I may say that T have tried most of the so-called remedies placed before the public, bat without even obtaining temporary relief. Little over two years ago I took Bile Beans to see what fffcct they would have upon me, and I have no hesitation Id saying they surpassed ill my expectations, They thoroughly cured my complaints, i»nd for the past two years i have not bad an attack of bifiousness, and during that time I hive been free from sick ! headache. Bile Beans are without doubt, all they profess to be, and I can strongly recommend their use to all who Buffer the same as I did -You have my permission to make ns@ of this letter, and I sincerely trust it will be the means of doing good to others, as I am confident; that Bile Beans will prove a boon to all who give them a fair trial. Thousands of ]Yew Zealan ders aay that Bile Beans for Bilious ness are an undoubted spscific for Constipation, Indigestion, Headache, fMee, Debility, Female ailments, Kmples, Liver troubles, «md Inllnese after eating. Ble Beins are sold at all nhemiats and storekeepers at 13|d per box. See that you get toe genuine,
