How It Man is His Aunt's Cncle, and Other Queer RelatlonahipH. Mr. L. Osbome, of this city, married his grandfather's second wife, and they have a son. Given this simple statement and a Dumber of pecaliar family relationships may be deduced. For example, Mr. Osborne is a grandchild of bis wife. Uis son bein^ also a son of his (Osborne's) grandmother, is uncle to his own father. Osborne becomes a brother to his ancles and aunts, and also a stepfather to them. The boy, beint! the child of Osborne as a grandson, is thereby a great-grandson of bis own mother, while his father may rejoice in the title of great-grandfather to his own child Thus the boy becomes a grand uncle to himaelf and his parents' great-grandchild. Osbome is the boy's father and great- grandfather at the same time, and, being the husband of his own grandmother, enjoys (he distinction of being his own grandfather as well. Osborne's mother married a man named Blake and bis sister married a brother-in-law of her mother, Henry Blake. Osborne's sister becomes a sister to her own mother. Mrs. Blake being Osborne's mother, is grandmother to Os- borne's BOD. The latter, however, being a â- on of the wife of Mrs. Blake's fatbe.- m- law, is therefore a brother to bis grand- mother and grandtmcle to bis grand- mother's sister, the daughter who married Mrs. Blake's brother-in-law. He also is her nephew, as the son of her brother. Otborne is the yoanger Mrs. Blake's graod- fathar as well as her brother. Thus her nephew, Osborne's son, becomes uncle to his annt. being a son of her grandmother. This series of relationships may be like- wise traced almost indefinitely. 'The family are happy and contented, and live as pleas- antly as though the pecaliar family ties were not present. â€" lfa<ii»un (Ww.) Journal. Industrial and Commercial.

The Boston Herald has been asking aome rich men for rales by which other men may become rich. Mr. P. T. Bamum says the golden role is to spend less than one earns. He advises abstineuoe from tobacco and nun, due care for the health, the Helection of a oongenial occupation, avoidance of debt, and determination to excel all others engaged in the same oocu- patiou. He also says : Be carefal to advertise in some shape or other, because it is evident that if a man bus ever so good an article for nale, and nobody knows it, it will bring him no re- turn. The whole philosophy of life is, first sow, then reap. This principle applies to all kinds of business, and to nothing more eminently than to advertising. If a man has a really good article, there is no way in which be can reap more advantageously than by " sowing " to the public in this way. If a man has goods for sale, and he doesn't advertise them, the obanoes are that some day the sheriff will do it for him. Folitenessand civilityare the best capital ever invested in business. Large stores, gilt signs, darning advertisements will all prove unavailing if you or your employees treat your patrons abruptly. The more kind and Uberal a man is, the more gener- ous will be the patronage bestowed upon him. Preserve your integrity ; it is naore precious than diamonds or rubies. The most difficult thing in life is to make money dishonestly. Oar prisons are full of men who attempted to follow this coarse. No man can be dishonest without soon being found out, and when his lack of principle is discovered, nearly every avenue to success is closed against him forever. Strict hon- esty not only lies at the foundation of all success in life financially, but in every other respect. General Butler has made a great deal of his money in manufactures, but he advises young men to invest in improved real estate. He owns property in Boston, Chi- cago, Washington and Lowell, a big ranche in Colorado, 000,000 acres in Mew Mexico, and 130,000 acres in Virginia. His ideas about real estate mvestments are worth giving in full : If a yoimg man is earning somethiiig more than the expenses of his living, and has no object in view, he is likely either to increase those expenses carelessly, or to loan his money to his friends, and in so doing in the majority of cases he will lose both friends and money, so that the best thing that he can do is to have an object, to gather np his money, and to have a call for it which shall be a profitable one. He makes no investment because he says, " I hare got so little money that it won't come to anything ; I will wait imtil I get mors :" and in waiting, generally, what be has goes. When a young man has a very little money let him buy some property, prefer- ably a piece, however small, according to bis means, of improved real estate that is paying rent. He had better buy it when sold at auction, under a judicial sale, pay- ing in cash what he can, giving his uutos tot the balance in small sonns coming dne at fre<iuently recurring intervals, secured by a mortgage on the pro- perty, and then use all bis extra mcome in paying up those notes. It is always safe to discoant your own note, and if the notes come a little too fast a.i soon as be gets anything paid hia friends will aid bim when he is putting his money where it cannot be lost, and whore the pro- perty 18 taking care of the interest, ara in a very short time he will find that he has got a very considerable investment. He will become interested in it, save his money to meet bis notes, and he will directly come into a considerable possession of property, and hardly know how it came to him. That is, be will have had a motive for saving, and will get the result of that saving, and will not be tempted to enter into specula- tions. Nothing is so safe for investment as improved real estate. Nothing is likely to grow in value faster. In the last .'>0 years, 'JO per cent, of all the merchants and traders in Boston have failed. In the last iO years, 'JO per cent, of all the basiness corporations have failed or gone out of bnainess, so that their slock has been wiped out. In the last 50 years all the improved real estate, on the average, has paid its interest and taxes, and quadrupled in value. If a yoimg man's father can give him anything to start him in the world he had better invest it in that way and let it aooumulate, and earn his living, and he will be richer than if he had gone into business. Jay Gould is said to have started from a mouse-trap seller to become a millionaire. Assuming that to be true, he is only one of 60.000,000 of people ; and if any young man thinks that be is going to imitete lay Gould, there are 60,000,000 of chances to one that he won't succeed. The rule I would lay down for a young man is, never do a mean thing for money. Be prudent and saving of your money. Be careful to have no interest account running against you unless you have an eijual or greater interest account running in your favor. Work diligently and yoo are sure of a competency in your old age, and as early as possible, if you can find a saving, prudent girl who has been brought up by a mother who knows how to take care of a house and make a wife of her, she will aid, and not hinder you. I claim no originality in this advice, and will relate you an incident in my own experience to illustrate it : In my eailiest practice in my profession I was ijuite sac- cei-sful in earning money, and I had a small balance in the Lowell Bank, at the head of which was Mr. James G. Carney. The bank was directly across the hall from my office. I stepped into the bank to deposit a little money ou one occasion and Mr. Car- I ney said tome : "Why don't you invest as they become due. Bee that the preperty is improved property, so that the rent will keep down your interest account, and when you get any other money invest it in the same way, and if your notes press upou you a Utile faster than you can pay them, why, we will, when we find that is what you are doing with your money, disooont your note and give you a little more time, so that yoa can pay it up. This will necessitate the prompt collection of yoor bills, for I know that you would rather work and earn a hundred dollars than dim a man for it, unless you have a pressing need for it. Yon have not even asked for a little bill that we owe you in the bank, which shows me that you do not promptly collect your dues." I followed the advice and bought a number of pieces of property in that manner, and I never did exactly knuw how they were paid for, but they were, and in a few years I owned some twenty different pieces of property in Lowell that came to me in that way. I can only say that I wish I had been wise enough to have con- tinued this course through life. Mr. Pillsbury, the great Minneapolis miller, writes as follows : First â€" When a young man commences a business life by worki ng m the employ of others, let him strive notsffiply to earn his salary and to give satisfaction to hia ena- ployers, but let bim aim to do all he has strength to do and to earn his salary many times over. In my first basiuess years it was no uncommon thing fur me to work all night until breakfast time, a thing I was not expected nor asked to do. If a young man will follow the rule of trying to make his services many times mare valuable than bis salary, either his employee or some one else will appreciate bim. There are alway s a few vacant places left for such kind of men, and their employers have very little to say as to their salaries. Second â€" Kever overrate your own ability, nor underrate that of your cojitpetltors. Follow this rule carefully, itn'men do not locate yourself in business where you are not confident that yon are at least the e>{ual of those who will be your competi- tors, either in natural ability or in willing- ness to work earlv or late, in season or out of season, in order that any differences in natural ability may be overcome in this way. My experience is that between natu- ral ability and hard woVk the latter will always win. When the two are in com- bination, nothing can prevent success. HKALTB OF GIBL8. Whjr They Droop and Stoop, Loslns the Beauty uf Vlyoroua Youth. A lecturer whose words were reported in Life and Hop,' spoke the other day as fol- lows : One of the principal reasons why bo many healthy girls become invalid women is owing to the mistaken ideas and restraint of the mother. When the girl is young she romps and plays and tumbles about the fioor without restraint, and is healthy. In most instances much too soon long dresses are put on, and the girl is put under a double restraint, and is expected to at once become a lady. Hampered by her clothing, which prevents the free action of the mus- oles of the body, or if she indulges in any childiiih plays, or is seen by the mother in any but an unright position, she is told that such conduct is not ladylike and only suit able for boys. She soon begins to think she must not bend ber body and most keep constantly in sn upright position, except when asleep. The result of this teaching is the supports of the internal organs are weakened. The muscles of the back not being used become weak and relaxed, and she stoops forward ; immediately stays are provided to take the place of the muscles provided by nature to hold them in their prniwr position. Thus relieved from all action they soon become relaxed and use- less. Thus nature is supplanted by art tmtil the poor girl becomes more a com- position of steel, whalebone and rubber than muscle, llesh and blood. Hy this time ber mental education is finished, and the prond mother is enabled to intro- duce to tho world an accomplished lady, and at the same time a weak, dei>endent, invalid woman.

Buw He Got IS Good Scat. A good story is told of an adventure which Dr. McKnight, rector of Trinity Church, had in attending the services in Westminster Abbey, celebrating the Jubilee of Cjueen Victoria's coronation. The good doctor had no ticket of admission, but be- thinking himself of an aciuaintance he had with the Archbishop, he approached the entrance and, when he reached the grand doorkeeper, said : " I'm from .^.merica, and I would like " see the Archbishop. " The functionary caught a [wrtion of bis sentence, glanced at his clerical dress, and with a respectful flourish waved him inside, handed him over to an usher, who marched him down the stately aisle, while the olhcial voice rang out in awful tones : " The Archbishop of America '." The doctor overcome by his embarrass- ing situation for a moment, was placed in one of the best seats in front of the house, among all the " first ijnality folks,' where he greatly enjoyed the succeeding exercises. And there wasn't a better man in the Abbey than the innocent wearer of the big title of the " Archbishop of America."â€" islmira Jiitifr(i«T. The Senator aiKLtl>e Lonl.

An Auimated DIscnaalon Over a Proposed Cnivenal Label. .A Binghamton (N.Y.I despatch says: At the cigarmakers' convention this morn- ing aoommauioation from District Assem- bly Cigirmakers' Union, No. 3, 079, of Chicago, raised ijuite a rtmipos. It proposed that a uniform label be adopted to cover the whole ootmtry. An animated discussion took place on a motioi; to lay the matter on the table. The Chicago delegation urged that the communication be received ; that the district assembly did not wish to antagoniise the International Union, nor open the old sore between the two organizations. To call them "scabs" was entirely imfair. They were not op- posed to the use of the blue label. A delegate from Brooklyn said : " We are fighting to get ' scabs ' into our organ- ization. 'That is the reason the convention is held in Binghamton this year." The Chairman cal'ed the speaker to order for referring to the Binghamton cigarmakers as " scabs." A delegate from Springfield, HI., said : "I hope the oonvention will ignore this commuoication. The same people who now appeal to this body opposed the blue label at the convention in Springfield last The communication was finally referred to the Committee on Resolutions. The report of the Committee on Consti- tution was then read and the amended con- stitution taken up and considered by sec- tions. A recess was then taken. At the afternoon session the amendment to the constitution as reported by com- mittee providing for the establishment ot an " out of work benefit ' and placing tha sum to be paid to members who are out ot work at Sit per week â€" the fund to be raised by assessment â€" was taken up and dis- cussed at length. The delegates from Baltimore, Rochester. Philadelphia, Man- chester, Springfield, 111., Cincinnati, Bos- ton, Buffaloâ€" President Strasser â€" Lincoln, Neb., Mobile, Grand Rapids, Hamilton, Ont., and San Francisco argued in favor uf the amendment and said they wotild vote for it. Several New York delegates and those from Brooklyn, Milwaukee, Patersou. Hoboken, South Bend and Jack- sonville made strong speeches against the amendment. An amendment that the weekly benefit be made 31 instead of }3 was put to a vote and lost â€" 6H to 115. The report of the committee was then rejected by a vote of 00 to 113 and the oonvention adjourned. t The delegates have considered two pro- posed changes in the constitution reported by the Constitutional Committee. They rejected them both. One provided for a special cigar box label for Union No. '218 of San Francisco, and the other for the organiisation of Unions in Montreal, To- ronto, Brantford, St. Catharines and other plaoe«, to be known as " The Federation of Canadian Unions."
