Few men In America have had more newspaper space devoted to them dur ing the last forty years than the late Hussell Sage, and yet there are prob ably fuw men about whoso real charac ter the public knew less. His great wealth naturally made him prominent In the business world, but tlio things that wero written about him had to do mostly with his Idiosyncrasies or rather with tbe one Idiosyncrasy which made him an unusual and picturesque character amongAincrlcan millionaires, namely, his excessive personal economy. Anecdotes of his extraordinarily cheap luncheons, or of his auxloty to save a penny whenever It was possible, nover failed to excite amusement, not to eny ridicule. It may readily be granted that Mr. Sage's outward life had lu It llttlo to appeal to populnr sympathy or affection j yet there was much In It to appeal to common sense. His Inde pendence of public opinion, tlio sim plicity of n life led amid much sense less nnd disgusting ostentation, his busi ness probity and foresight, his religious constancy nnd tlio purity of his domes tic life, nro nil facts upon which young men may ponder with prollt.

Llndaey, of Denver, yvho has baU noUbl succeaa lu dealing with juvsnlle delinquents and who bat mastered the art of getting lu close touch with boy life, declares that "Ono million children In this country nro an nually drifting Into prime." This eer ialuly b an Important statement, If tnle. Hut la It true? Auybody who has uyts to tea nnd ears to henr knows that there are a great many Juveniles who have developing tendencies lu that direction, Hut to any that a million boys and girls are drifting Into crime erery year In tho United States strikes us as absurd. We think tlmt the Judge Is too prodigal In the use of ciphers tu bis statistical utterances. We hare reform schools for way ward children, which doubtless do tbe best they can. Hut If thero could be reform schools for parents there would be llttlo or no need of reform schools for children. Dellmpjent pnrents nre to blnme for delinquent children lu nine cases out of ten. If parents would do their duty, If they could bo forced by state, church, society, press, public opinion or tlie whips and scorns of the time, to renllce their responsibility for the children they have brought Into the world then there would be no need of the Btnte reform school. Tbe pnrvntM would keep that school. Its course of Instruction would bo admonitory nnd preventive. It Is seldom that u child brought up In the right way by the parents will ntterwnrd take the wrong wny. Farming Is virtually the only grent series of occupations that is unorgan ised, unayndlcnted, uumonopollzed, un controlled, except ns It Is damtnnted by natural laws of commerce and tho arbi trary limitations Imposed by orgaulsa tloa Id other bustuew. la a tlmt of Tho rnllroatlH In China now In oper ntlon, under construction or projected imvo nn approximate length of U.00O miles, according to n rojxjrt made to the Kovcrumeut by our couniiI nt Nankin. That Is a aiiinller mllcnKo than Illinois possesses, but It Is larger than the rail road mlleiiKe of Hpntn, nnd within n thousand miles of the mileage of Italy, Ami of course It Is only tho beginning, for China scums to Imvo started fairly on n policy of Internal development, with prospects for rapid growth lu the future. A few years ngo In discussing Chinese railroads little or no attention would have been paid to conceptions to Chinese companies Kuch concessions would have been regarded ns Jokes, and nil attention would have been cen tered on tho line of political or strn teglcnl Importance, dominated by Kuro penn companies. Now tho list of con cessions hIiows almost ns mnny lu Chi nese hands ns lu tho hands of nil other countrloi together. Sixteen Chinese concessions nre listed, some of them of minor Importance, but others com manding main Hues of railroad devel opment In the empire. Huch, for In stance, In tho Cauton-Knnkow line, re cently taken over from American capl tnllsts, which will form one-half of the grent trunk Hue from north to south. Another line, tho Ilnug-chow-Hoochow road, will form the basis for a grent enst nnd west trunk line. It Is true tho Chinese capitalists nnd govern ment oillclnls nre In many cases quar reling over tlio control of then lines nnd delaying their construction, nnd much will deH'ud on their nhlllty to smooth out their Jealousies. The fact remains tlmt lu tho majority of cases Chluese engineers nre busily engaged In construction work nnd Chlnoio rnll road men nre personally operating line for Glilneic owners. The other ponces slons are divided twtween the ilrltlsh, Oermnus, French, nolglnns nnd Portu guese.

Tho author of "Tho Hnlknus from With in" gives the history of n comparative ly recent occurrence In the Turkish flnvy.. At Salonika a guard-ship, n fairly modern-looking small cruiser, lies year In nud year out peacefully nt anchor In tho bay. One day au order came to the commander to put to sea, aud tbe consternation of that gallant officer was great, because no screw steamer can move without a shaft, and the shaft of this cruiser had been sold some time bo fore. Hut ho was n mnn of resource, nnd had a shaft mnde of wood, which he hoped would brenk as soon as It was put to use. The shaft held, unexpect edly, nud ns the cruiser slowly steam ed out of the gulf the captain's heart sank, for ho did not enro to go to Ben with a shaft that must brenk sooner or Inter. Ho ho t-ent below, nnd hnd the shaft sawn half-way through. A llttlo extra steam, the shaft broke, and tho guard-ship wns towed bnck "disabled." Mtuni It.
