They do not find it any more difficult to be "broke" dead than to be dead broke while alive; bat in the case of Carnegie it is differ ent, lie is in financial difficulties all the time, because be has more money than he knows what to do with. Lie is working hard along the lines that be has mapped out, however, and whether he will ever be able to get his assets down to an honorable figure or not, the world gives him credit for con scientious endeavor. The fact that he gave away 40, 000,000 last year is a very fair in dication of his purpose. Of course by far the greater put of this money has not been disbursed, but it is no easy task to get rid of 810, 000,000 in a year. Anybody who thinks it is should try it.

Hall's" Family Pills are the best.- never know another Carnegie Audrew Carnegie was born in Dnufermline, Scotland, Nov. 25, 1835. Ilis father was a weaver au humble, bard headed, sound thinkiug Scotchman who, when his bov Andv was only 10 years old, tpok the long step and brought his family "across the pond." He settled in Pittsburg, and two years later Andrew started out to make his hundreds ot millions. lie teuded a small stationary engine for a time, and then became a telegraph messenger boy. If ever he stopped while delivering a message to read a "penny dread ful,' there is no record of the fact. There is his success in life to prove tbat be did not and yet it is to be remembered that he is of a literary turn of mind. He was one of the first to read telegraphic siguals by sound. He became clerk to the superintendent of the Pennsylvania Kailroad aud then manager of the telegraphic lines. t was while holding this position that he eot his start on the roau to wealth. He met Woodruff, the nventor of the sleeping car, got aa"terest with Uim tnrougn nis work to have the Pennsylvania anu other railroads adopt it, and made a large sum. He also got a pro motion to the position of superin tendent of the Pittsburg division of the Pennsylvania llailroad. Then he struck oil. He was oue of a syndicate that purchased the Story farm on Oil Creek, it cost him $40,000, and it paid 81, 000,000 clear profits in one jear. With plenty ot money beuina u;m hb went into the iron busiuess, and his success in this line made him the wonder of the business world. Every one knows the histoiy of Carnegie as the "iron master.", liis income oecame enormous; his millions became bnn ' n II dreds of millions; and nnany money makiug lost its charm. 'There is only oue man in the world richer than I am," said he and he stopped. Theu be started in to teach other multimillionaires how to give,-bat he set. snch a ranid oacethat no one cared to at temut to rival him not even the oue mau who alone, according to Mr ranipo-ip is better able to erive than he. In all things -Andrew Carnegie is Scotch. lie is even Scotch iu his methods of giving. He is cer tainlv Scotch in bis love for Scot land. More than 20 years ago be d-avp his native village of Dan ferrjlins a'sDlendid swimmiug bath and a costly library. This long hefore be 2ve up money-making unrlKtarteil in to make eiving his life's work. His wonderful castle in his native land is one of his natural vanities- His sifts to various Scottish institutions have beeu verv larere. but even with all his love for the land of his birth he is tional purposes. That people do not object to a man's giving away his millions is shown by the fact that Mr. Car negie receives about 500 letters a day asking for money, and that, preachers, professors and othei? gift seekers follow him day and night. It is said that one day, while resting on the coast of France, he got away by him himself for a few moments and getting into the boat of an old fisherman who did not know him, pat out to see. It was rest to the weary, and the man of many millions was thoroughly enjoying himself. Suddently Mr. Carnegie saw a boat bearing down upon bis and, not wishiug to be disturbed, be told the fisherman to run away from it. There was an exciting chase, and finally a black-coated man in the stern of the pursuing boat raised a megaphone to bis lips aud shouted: "Stop, Mr. Carnegie! I only want a million. I'm Professor Blan.k, of the Millenium Univer sity at Four Corners, Wisconsin!" If the professor pronounced his name "Witu tue accent "au as most people of the professor's stripe do it is safe to say that Caruegie did not stop until he reached the coast of England. Tbat is oue thing he caunot stand. " It keeps this remarkable man more busy giviug his money away thau it did making it. He is so busy establishing libraries that he does not have time to write books auy more. It should- not be for gotten, however, that he is an author. He wrote "An American-Four-in-Haud in Britain," ',lionnd the World," and "Triumphant Democracy; Fifty Yeats' March of the Kepnblic.'' None of his mil lions came from the sale bt his books, however. Having the finest home iu Scot land, he is building on Fifth avenne !n New York the finest privata residence in America. A bachelor until well along in years he now has a charming wife and a little daughter to sweeten life for him. Some men have not the capacity for enjoying great wealth, but this cannot be s.iid of Audrew Carnegie. He iiuows how to find friends who are not sycophauts or parasites aud how to enjoy their friendship; he does not care for society or wor ry about other men's opinions, and he has learned better than auy of them tbat the greatest of all pleas ures to be found in having is in giving. The TJ. S. Civil Service Com mission will hold examinations at several places in each state daring March and April, to secure young men and womeu for the govern ment service. 9,S89 persons se cured positions last year through these examinations. Probable 10, 000 appointments will be made this year. All appointments are for life aud for most positious only a common school educatiou is re quiied. Salaries at appointment vary from $600 to $1200 a year with liberal promotion afterward. Politics is not considered. There is less competition in the southern states than in other parts of the coahtry. This affords a good op portunity for people between lb and 45 years of age.
