Sir Andrew Carnedie and his Wealth.

[ " Scribner's Magaaim " far O^tobir con I tains a most interesting sketch of Mr Andrew Carnegie by Hamilton W. Mabie. In tht> course of the article Mr Mabie, after daalin'/ with capitalists, says that th-> nnlv rail -|u<n tioa is -Wha 1; shall ho do with his wealth, md says : " Mr Carnegie's answer to it li-i* made him one of the foremost men of hi~ Mrcie. It is significant that the emph-vMe if interns?; ii Mr Carnegie's case has shift }'l from his wealth to the U9es he is making of it; from the material with which h*» works to the idea which he is expressinsr through it. He repr <sent^ a new or'W o p men in the worM an>i the instructive feniinur that a man's fortune is hig private a<Tair, and th=it it be-ravq a 1-tflc of duli^ariv b* spt^ak of it, ha- given plao9 to a recognition of thfl puhlio aspect of arroat fortune?! when by organisation. theyc>n«titiif-^ f-.he basis of a new gr« v > of forces in socie-y Mo O vrn«g;e ravle his fortune by virtue i|ualitie;? in hia own nature, and with lifrUe aid from without; so far outsi'lo halp was conciirned he is a s^rilrin? ot qmple of how much a man may accomp lish with no tools except those which natur puts in his hands. In thfl nswand graat er sbiijo of his fi.ir«er Mr Cam 'Erie is now rendering hig most disfcinotive servi>'o fen the community by his interpretation of th« uses and responsibilities nf wealth. When the ini'uen*a snrns which he has gi^en. ani will give, for odursational purposes in one form or another are added up and the total set down in figures, the imagination of th« country will be impressed and its senso of oblivion qnifllcenfid: but. in thelonsr run it will probably appear that the greatest service rendered by Mr Carnoo-io was not hi 3 vast beneSconce, but his af,tituda to wards his success, his recognition of the social element in great enterprise?, hi* return in kind to thfl community which made his rise t > affluence and power possible. . . . Fo • this endowment of imagination, vivacity, spiritual energy, he owes as much to hii ancestry as to his sa gacity, energy, and thrift. He comes of a race of extraordinary capacity for living by ideas—a race which not only strikes hard and works hard, but wh'oh put* the sam** force into emotional and moral life; com bining in the same person the keenest shrewdness, the clearest judgment, and thn capacity for absolute surrender to a great nation or a great cause. . . The vast generosity of Mr Carnegie to liter iture aud scholarship is not a matter of impulse, find dii not take its riso in suggestion from without. Love of poetry and learning came to him by inheritance."

A Hard Day's Work. Without any trouble A change in the life ot many an Ashburton^ Citizen The prospect of v hard day's work give^ a man a shudder when he is sick. He would not mind if he was well. Have you not often had your deepest sympathies aroused by the face of an invalid at a window ? Perhaps the day may be exceptionally ploa santto you with your abundance of health, but if the slightest breeze awoke the trees it would be too much for the face at the window. And there are diseases just as exasperating, where one is a3 much an invalid as the one pictured above. Kidney complaint has its miseries nnknown except to those who have suffered them. We are glad to say there is much less of it in Ash burton now that Doan's Baokacho Kidney Pills are so well known. Eead how one cilizen was benefited. Mrs Jas. Parker, Beach Eoad, Trevor ton, this town, says :—I could nob do my house work or washing because of backache not lonsr ago. As soon a> ever I started the pains bej-amo so very agonising that I would have to li« down. This was a very nasty st-ftte of affairs for me, and it would pro babl V have coutinu°.d only I procured a box of Doau's Backache Kidney Pills at the Ashburton Drug Go's in East Street. lam now perfectly free of the pains and fit for anything hi the way of lu.u3ework. I only took one course of fche pills and the cure was permanent. They are splendid as tonic and .agreenble to take. Success has brought up many imitations oj Doan's Pills, but there is nothing-just as good'as tho remedy which cured Mrs Parker, therefore ask for Doan's Backache Kidney Pill?. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s per box (six boxes 16* 6d), or will be posted on receipt of price by tho proprietors, Foster, McCleunau Co., 73 Pifct Street, Sydney, N.S.W.

Another Victim ! TO THE Enervating fieat of Summer. The Case of Mr. M. RANDALL. J (By a Napier Repo>ter.) ! Mr. Magnus Randall was seen by <ru I representative at the former's resn-lcacii in Wagliorne-street, Napier. "Have you any objection to giving me the facts concerning your remarkable experience P" "None whatever," replied Mr. Ran dall. "I am glad of the opportunity, as my testimony may come under the notice of some other sufferer who can derive benefit in the same manner that I have done." "What was your complaint?" "Well, I had so many ailments thai I can hardly give you a definite answer; but the cause of the whole of my long sickness was through a terrible derange ment of my digestive organs. I was living in Melbourne when first attacked, and I attribute my illness to the ener vating heat which prevails there every summer. My food turned on me after every meal. Everything I ate lay in a heavy, solid lump in my stomach, mak ing me c feel dreadfully uncomfortable, and too indolent to move. Dull, op pressive pains in the chest indicated that my food was not digesting; then violent headaches came on. I am an inveterate reader, but my eyesight was now very bad, and the throbbing pains in my head made reading useless, as I could not concentrate my attention on the subject matter of a book. * Sharp twitches cf agony appeared under the shoulder blades, making me very rest less and irritable. I used to go home after a day's work feeling exhausted and knocked out; but I could not sleep at night. © Every morning I arose wit:; aching limbs, feeling more languid and depressed than the day before. A feel ing of melancholia was upon me, and I could not arouse enthusiasm for any thing. My bowels were also out of or der. I was very irregular in that re spect, being constipated for days, with subsequent attacks of diarrhoea. The lower part of my right side was extreme ly tender, the least pressure producing great pain. I had a bad taste in ni} mouth, which made everything nauseous to the palate, although in course of time tais dia not prove a great hardship as 1 had completely lost my appetite." "How did you gat on without eat ing?" "Very badly indeed. I got thinne: and weaker every day, and felt fatiguec before I started out from home. ] looked the picture of misery, and I fe! as dejected as I looked. My face wa white and pinched, and my hollov cheeks showed that my constitution w? undermined with my complaint, whic; at length upset my nervous system < such an extent that my nerves atartc trembling and shaking at the leas, noiso." "Were you in this state very long?" "About twelve months altogether, anf" as I had taken a great number of ai kinds of medicines without receiving an.i benefit, I began to think that my suf ferings were going to last for ever." "You were apparently deceived ir that conjecture." "I was, lam thankful to say. M-> habit of looking at everything rcadab! accounted for my re'ease from life-lon GVifforino;. '$ A description of a gentlo man's cure from the same distressing eomp!a:nt o.s mine came under my notie through perusing a pninolilct. He wa enred by Clements Tonic after a lon illness, f-o I thought there might be ■ chance for mys&if. I bought seven, bottles of Clements Tonic, and it vr fcha host purchase I ever made. ] acted like magic on my enfe:?hlotl ar. debilitated system. A few clofos r Clements Tonic removed the fesl-n^ ni tightness in my chest after entir.g; (whic. 1 I did very heartily after each dose), be s:d;-s relieving me of the discomfort am pain in my stomach. My bow?ls we: regulated and my head became clear atic free from sickening aches. The excru ciating agonies disappeared from mj shoulders and ribs, my nerves werf soothed and toned up, and I .slept splen didly and awoke refreshed and energetic My strength came back rapidly, find m? weight increased crcvy day. I felt borr anew. Clements < Tonic did its wor!» thoroughly removing evory' symptom o' my complaint, and my health has beer errand all these years since I was en rod Clements Tonic is a wonderful medicine and my experience teaches me that it if th? on? remedy that can always be do povuleri rivvi.
