TIip (!znr f Kimln ! only .IS, but ho has had almost revt'r.c enough to niiiku him &(. If n man hoasts that ho ling no eno inlcs ho seldom has occasion to boast of his friends. In view of rpcent disclosures Mr. Rockefeller's Incomo probnbly hns been underestimated. Notwithstanding his advancing years tho Sultan of Turkey seems to be about tho sumo old Sultnn. Now that Cuba has had n r00,000 fire there Is no more doubt thnt abe Is becoming Americanized. Tho man who never made n success of anything In his life always wonders why other men do not heed his advice. Mr. Rockefeller's taste In art Is said to bo crude. That may bo bocauso ho has used his refinery for other pur Ksrs. Of course, when tho psalmist fixed man's limit of time at three score and ten ho hnu never heard of Undo Joo Cannon. Now that a hospital for tlm very rich Is projected, tho doctors will linvo to think up some more exclusive dlsense than appendicitis for them to have. "I itilmlt'o tho spirit that nover gives up," said John I). Rockefeller, Jr., to his Illblci class. Must be n great ad mirer of dad, who doesn't give up much. Millinery may be taught In somo of thu Chicago schools next year. This Is encouraging. The time may come when very girl will be ablo to make her own hats. If wo have tho right Moo of tha peed of Mr. Harrlman's train across the country, when doing Its best, It passes eight or ten given point at the nine time. Congress Inn voted to have tho Uni ted State build tho largest battleship In the world. Ry tho tlmo tho keel Is laid down Kuglaud will have mnilo ar rangements to construct ft IM.OOO-ton-uer. A prophet who predicted tho Mont I'eleo disaster, tho eruption of Vesuvius ind tho Hau Franclsio earthquake says New York will bo destroyed within two rears. This Isn't likely, however, to worry Wall street half aH much as tho icarclty of lambs, which, according to recent reports, In becoming more evi dent day by day. Tho average man Is not accustomed to regard his health as his very best iisrtut, yet that Is precisely what It Is. Tho man who will accord duo regard to his health, from a strictly business standpoint, will go further, last longer anil accomplish more In tho end than olio who makes health an after-cousld-oration. Kucccis which I attained at tho expense of health Is worth abso lutely nothing to tho iiinu who attains It. There I no pleasure either In the process or In the Dual result. Tho aim of the reformers In school niul college athletics should bo clearly mid directly tho betterment of condi tion', not tho extirpation of the love of combat which Is Inherent In tho na ture of mankind. Tho notion that hard general wm I;, resulting In full muscu lar development, saps vitality, weakens the organs and U a wearying Incubus to the Individual Is so Illogical as hard ly to dcacrvo an answer, Hut somo persons believe this. Such should pity the wild animals that, guided only by nit Instinctively physiological need, run, Jump, pursue and wrestle with one an other, thereby using mid developing fully their whole bodies, The growing Importance of the gulf ports for the shipment of western pro duce Is gathered from a statement re cently Issued by the Department of Commerce, For the ten mouths end ing with April (ialveston, New Orleans uud Mobile exported sao.OOO.OOO worth of brcadsturfs, against fM.OOO.OOO worth for all the Chesapeake ports, In cluding ltaltlmore, and ,:t7,tHHUHKi worth for New York. New York's lead Is readily accounted for by the advan tage It has In the cheap water route through the lakes and the Krlo canal, which also give her not a little wheat from tho Canadian llelds. With it deep, waterway from Chicago to the mouth of the Mississippi, New Orleans, which contributes SU,RM,0M to tho above to tal of ?ao,000.XH) for the three gulf ports, would In all likelihood excel New York In the shipments of bread stuffs and other western produce. A year ogo the trolley car began to fllsplaco the horse car. It soon became manifest that tho displacement would teoomo general. Many were led to an ticipate the downfall of tho hoie, or, It least, a great decline In the value of horses, owing to their banishment from puv livid of usefulness. A little later come tho automobile. It haa com menced taking the place In the city of the draft horso as well as of the car rlago horse. ' That led to predictions that the day of tho horso was over and that tho raising of them would becomo n decaying Industry. Tho horso refuses to go, and his voluo has advanced. On Jan. 1, 1&07, there wero 14,.'l0l,000 horses In this country. On tho first day of Jt)00 there wero 18,718,000. In nine years there has been nn Increas of JiO per cent. Tho gain In the numbr of mules has been great, but not so large. In ISO" thero wero H.IMB.OOO. This year, notwithstanding tho heavy pur chases inndo by the llrltlsh Govern ment during tho Iloer war, thero are IJ.IOO.OOO. The Increase In tho valua tion of theso nnlmnls Is more surpris ing than In their numbers. Tho total vaiiio of horses has advanced from Slol.'.OOO.OOO to 11,510,000,000, anil of mules from ?0,2,;i00,000 to ?:i34,000,000. It Is hard to explain such nn adviytco In values, except on tho theory that the valuation In 1807 was too low or. that for 1000 a llttlo Inflated. Even after making all allowances It Is man-, If est that the vnluo of tho horse and mulo has not been affected by tb In troduction of Improved modes of loco motion. Ono may rest assured that tho 18,700,000 American horses are not eating their heads off. Thoso that are old enough are employed on the farms and In the city. Tho supposition that horse power might be supplanted by electric power was not wall founded. There Is so much work to bo dona In tho United States that both kinds of power are needed, and probably always will be. Speakers at a meeting of tho Wom an's Trado Union Leaguo In Chicago maintained tho other day that the wages of women nro far below tho American standard of decent living', and that It Is high tlmo to dlsabuso employers of tho notion that women workers aro willing to recclvo unequal pay for equal work. Somo put tho minimum ' living wage' at $15 and somo at $25, but all ngrced that n rate of $(1 or $7 means "chnrltnhlo assist ance" In some form or ntiothqr. Impar tial and Intelligent students of tho question of woman In Industry like tho two University of Chicago women who dealt with It In tho Journal of Political Economy only a few months ago recognlro that women hardly ever do "tho satno work" as men. "Tho do mand for the same wage," say the uni versity Investigators, "can lie based only on tho claim that thero li tho 'same work.' In the faco of the facts Just presented, It Is fair to ask, Where Is the samo work to bo found under present conditions?" "The facta pre sented" In tho artlclo Indicate that thero Is llttlo direct competition be tween men and women workers. The last cousus rcjmrt says that "If we look at tho list of occupations wo And women doing the lighter work, tho me chanical work, tho loss skilled" In the Industries where they work by thesldo of men. American and Rrltlsn labor reports contain plenty of evlileuco that "women and children perform tho light er, whllo men perform tho heavlor grades' of work In occupations which employ both sexes. TJio question of equal pay for equal work Is by no means as slmplo as it looks. With re gard to tho "living wago" generally, Is It truo that the women -who receive less than $15 n week in a largo city must In tho end have rccourso to char ltablo assistance? The girl who lives at homo and Is In part supported by tho head of tho family Is not depend ent on charity. Her wages may not cover all her exponas, but tho family does not expect that they should. All can live In comfort where tho wages of the father aro supplemented by those of two or more children. Under these circumstances mid they aro tho rule rather than the exception says the Chicago Record-Herald, women nro cer tainly willing to work for lower wages than they would need were they coin polled to HiipiKirt themselves absolutely and to enjoy none of the advantages of family economy mid co-operation. In regard to amusements, It Is not to be overlooked that girls seldom pay for such things, their boy friends and ac quaintances being only too anxious to "tnko them" to the theater, tho sum mer garden, the skating rink, and so on. An Industrial order based on sup ply and demand, on competition, auto matically governs Itself by such facts mid circumstances. Kxoitvrnlliitr Vrunble, Once when W. Holmim-Hunt, the English painter, was dining with Thack eray, he noticed u marble bust of tho novelist as n boy. Tho bust was well modeled, says Hunt In his recently pub lished volume of reminiscences of "Pre Raplmellsm and the lMv-ltaphacllto llrotherhood," and admirable for Its open expression. It registered the form of the nose, the sinking of the bridge which distinguished his handsome, dig ullletl face. As Hunt gazed ho recalled the report ed remark of the housekvjH!r at Char terhouse, after Thackeray's pugllUtlo encounter with Veuables, mid on bee lug the bruise which Thackeray's faro had received: "You hno destroyed the looks of the handsomest boy In the school." When Hunt had silently decided this, Thackeray noticed him, mid exclaimed : "1 know what you nro wondering at. You want to know whether the bust was done 'before or after,' Well, It was done before." When n man takes a girl out riding ou.it country road, and puts his arm around her, huiio one passes mid tells, though they are riding In the wilderness, THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON I IDAHO ADVERTISING: !
