TIip ('.sir's present opinion of the

If n man hoasts that ho ling no eno

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

Congress Inn voted to have tho Uni

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,
