f.'3BPPW . " THE NEW AGE, POItTLAND, OlIEGON. fc TOPICS OF TUB TIMES. The bntbtub trust Is not supposed to fear wnter. Barbed wire ns a lmttle nppllancc hns found Its way Into Nutnl. Those like It test who arc not stuck on It. About the most Innocent of ways to pull the wool over childhood's eyes Is to use the yarn of the stocking. A Western woman's wanting $50,000 for a broken heart does not In the least contradict the sex's lunate liking for a fine figure. Talking of cold weather as ngalnst other forms of garment,. the- man just wrapped up In himself Is generally a rold Individual. An Eastern man Is said to be building an nrk. This will remind people-of the fact that there has never yet been n trust In that article. ICvldently the only way some people can have any confidence In tho re munerative character of a business Ih to have a trust In it. Popular sentiment Is overwhelmingly apposed to the nntl-oxpanslpn sentiment that would cut down the nineteenth century to ninety' nine years. Maybe the new cult of "gentlemen burglars" Is due to a knowledge that sjfood manners are necessary to those rho would enter the best houses. The wooden Indian has been vindi cated at last he slopped a runaway horse In New York tho other day. There's a theme for a new Hans An dersen. Newspaper men see the dawn of tho millennium. An ICastem railway has adopted the policy of telling the news papers the whole truth lu case of an accident. A man wants $10,000 damages be cause a telegram was not delivered which caused his loss of the girl of his choice. Ten years from now he may feel differently about It. A man who had Injtiml his hand was In such a hurry to apply salve to the wound that he picked up a can of dy namite by mistake, and, finding that the top would not come off readily, he lilt It with a hummer. Why will people keep on going all to pieces over little things? It seems ludicrous now to believe that Admiral t'ervera was actually or dered to come over here and bombard the principal Atlantic ports. Yet If we had been really sure of It then those IloHton and Newport panics would not have been so strange-for the Hlrength of the .Spaniards was at thut time an unknown tjuantlty. Newspaper statements concerning tlit) will of Itosa Itouhetir recall the fact that the principal legatee was, until the litHt year of the great artUt's life, an entire stranger to her. Miss Anna Kliimpke, a young portrait painter of liroinlse, greatly desired to palm Itosa itouhetir, and wrote, asking that pr.v liege. Receiving a favorable reply, she at once started from Hoston to Kon tulnebleati, lu I'liince.'anil entered upon lier work. The two women found them elves lu Ktieh close sympathy that Jdllc. llouheur asked her visitor to make her home with her, and at her 1enth last year devised almost her en tire estate-chateau, park, library, lialntlngs and priceless manuscripts -to this young American. The story Is a romance In real life. It underscores the poet's query: "Who can answer where any road leads'" When a resourceful novelist like Mrs. Amelia K. Hair gles up the hervant s'lrl problem and abandons her cotiutty homo on the Hudson to live lu a New York hotel the outlook Is dark for plain people who do not pretend to write novels or solve pioblems. Mrs. Mnrr ays she has really been driven out of lier home by her Inability to solve this great enigma of the time, lier flight to a city hotel, combined with her be lief that the hotihchold work of the fu ture will he iloiio by men, Miggests the probability that before the end of an other century everybody may be living lu city llatu and apartments and dining on the hotel plan. The housemaid ap parently holds It In her power to abol ish the private home life of the nation, it Is high time for the geniuses and refortneiH to apply all their powers to ttolvlug the problem of how to make young women prefer kitchen work In rhe country to factory work In the city. At present the attractions ate mostly on the side of the factory. What we really want nowadays Is h philanthropist who will Invent some Indoor amusement for people wlioo slopes get red lu cold weather. Tlio.o of us who have artistic temperaments nnd who revel only lu an cutouraKC of grace and beauty tiro especially en cerued lu this alValr. We appeal direct ly to Adolphus young or old as tlu case may be and the elderly Adolphus Is, perhaps, the more exacting; wo ap peal to Adolphus, wo Miy, for sym pathy. It doesn't so much matter about men. Who cares whether the uoho of Jones or Smith or ItohliiMm is red? Nobody expects them to be beau tiful. Nobody Is Miocked If they bo otherwise. Hut when wo encounter Clarissa or Celextlue, whom last even lug we mw ucrosii u flowery dinner table pnlc. hnuclity. with tlp-tllted nose nnd scarlet lips the Incarnation of aris tocratic calm when we encounter her In the square or on "the" boulevard and sec her with crumpled cheeks and flush ed proboscis what a sorrow perches on our souls! Why, the generation simply yawns for n philanthropist. Just a short while ago wo, meaning the American people, were Informed that the primary cause of our longev ity and general good health was the fact that we ate hearty breakfasts and prepared ourselves for the day's labors with a good meal. It was shown and proved beyond dispute that the human machinery needed u goodly supply of fuel to run the engine during the day and that the best time to lay In this supply was at breakfast. Thereupon the American people began to eat heartily of toast, griddle cakes, cere als, etc. That Is, those who read the article and were struck by Its force did those things they were told were essential for the preservation of their health, strength and life. Now comes another "authority" and says that tho American breakfast Is too heavy and that the first hearty meal of the day should uoi 1k eaten until noon. This later "authority" "proves" his case Jimt as positively as the other, and there will be men and women who will heed the advice and starve themselves half a day under the belief that they are doing themselves a favor. All of which recalls to mind that If the American people did everything that they wero told to do nnd did not do the things that they were told not to do, nlways by medical "authorities," every minute would be used to do something con tradictory to that which had been done the preceding minute. There Is a significance In the fact that the new treaty between Mexico and China Is written In English Instead of, as customary, In French. It Is In Hue with the recent Instances In which English has been substituted for French as the language of diplomacy In International conferences, but has still deeper significance than that. French was formerly the universal language of diplomacy, and all conferences between the powers were conducted lu It, as a matter of course, but English has be come so more the language of the world than the French that It lu superseding the latter even In that most conserva tive usage. English Is also the lan guage of commerce to a much greater eM'ent than French, as English and American commerce far outrank any that Is carried on under any other form of speech. Lastly, the most Important, an English-speaking nation, the 1'nlted States, Is not only the nearest neigh bor lo both Mexico and China, but Is rapidly becoming the most Important one with which they have to deal; while second to It In some respects, first lu others, Is England. Until na tions, therefore, having far more occa sion lo use the English than any other foreign tongue, they are bound to be come more familiar with It than with any other, and It Is so nearly a com mon language iK'tvveeu them that It Is very wise for the diplomats to use It for the purpose of a common under standing. They will avoid complica tions liettcr In this way than by adopt ing i-rencn or any other tongue. For more than 5,000 years men have been trying to discover "tho elixir of life." The earliest searcher, so far us authoritative history shows, ivih Hermes TrlsmagostruB, born 4 MM) II. O. Coming down to the Christian era, there was Zos( nuts, who lived -UM) A. I), to -tno; (Jhebe Klutzes, 880 to IKK); Ovlc enno, 1W0 to lo:i7; Artephluo, 1075 to IIHO; linger Macon, li!H to 11111; Albert Magnus, lit 10 to lUSIj Ponce de Leon, Htk) to l.VJlj Paracelsus, 17-IH to 1S:; Cagllostro, 18111 to 181)1; Ilrown-Se-ijuard, 1818 to 18t). They and others, like the rest of their generations, are all dead. It Is noticeable that most of them died early, not living three score years aud ten. It Is needless to say that they failed to discover "the elixir." Perhaps It Is well that some of them did not, considering what they were. The latest candidate for disappointment Is Pi of. Metchulkotr, a distinguished scientist lu the Pasteur Institute, Paris, who claims to have discovered a mtIcs of lymphs that will an est decay aud re juvenate the human body. He discards the accepted theory of senile atrophy, aud holds that "certain eels which have been believed to be destroyed by age are simply dormant. Not only can they be revived, but multiplied," with his wonderful lymphs. In a certain measure corroboration of this claim aie the experiments of a physician who an nounces that he can successfully treat paralysis aud cites cases. Hut both are now only experimenting, and the proba bility Is that, like some pred. cessors, they will make their discoveries Just lu time to die. A I. out from Hlntory, Commodore Win field Scott Schley, In his hook, "The Hesctte of tireely." thus descrlhes the llndltii; of the explorer and the other frozen and starved sur vivors of the Lady Franklin Hay ex. pedltlon lu July, 1SS4: "On his hands and knees was a dark man with a Ioiir, matted beard and brilliant, sturlut; eyes. As Limit, Colvvell aiproacht'd he raised himself it little aud put on a pair of eye glasses. "Who are you?' iibked Colvvell. "The man made no answer, staring at him vacantly, "'Who are you?' nculn, "One of the men spoko, up: 'That h the Major-MaJ, freely. "Colvvell took him by the hand, say Iiik to him, 'Ureely, Is this you?' "'Yes,' said Oreely, In a faint, brok en voice, hesitating and shuttling with tils words. 'Yes- seven of us left hero we are lyltiK- like men!' "Then he fell back exhausted." The magazine poet may be equal to i hU Uak, but few of uU rcadwa are. 01 Make Your Deposits With the COMMERCIAL HANK Capital, .'i0l000,; Responsibility, 1100,000. Hoard of directum: tien. Tlirm.
