THE NEW AG-E, PORTE AND, OREGON. TOPICS OF TUB TIMES. ncrenfter Admiral Dewey will Ware of Americans bearing Rifts. bo- A clgnr trust will lilt the Brent mnss mt the voters of this country precisely whero they live. When a tnnn comtilnlus nil the time f being overworked It Is probable his wife takes In wnshlng. A woman's logic comes out even In lier fdinrpcnliiK n pencil. She inukes Iter point In such queer wnys. Tin money In clrculntlon In this country Is equivalent to about $25.00 for every mnti, woman and child. With repnrd to gunning accidents It's to bo alleged In favor of some men who shoot off their mouths that they do not know tliey nre loaded. flinders live for hundreds of yenrs. It's not known whether this Is duo to the healthfulness of tunimtnlii llfo or merely the result of keeping cool. Alfred Austin's utterance, "And blood than water Is yet more thick," tH probably an attempt to harmonize the Anglo-Saxon nations on a Teutonic basis. Itev. Dr. Lyman Abbott snys a man Isn't a temperance man because ho docB not drink beer. Ho Is Intemper ate If he drinks bad coffee and eats bad pie until he gets yellow. Another plot to assassinate the Sul tan of Turkey hns been foiled. The wny the Kiilliin manages these things Is to have the plotters killed llrst and iho plots discovered afterward. Using the name of Franklin In con nection with that latest New York get-rlcii-iik-l scheme should have been m. warning. It was be who wroto about people paying too dear for their wills tie. Another anarchist, Kiiimti Ooldmnn, has left the United States In disgust. Once more the occasion presents Itself to remark that there Is too much com mon sense and too many bathtulm In tills country for anarchy to nourish. A Western woman told n Jury that when a mob lynched her husband hIiu sustained no damage, and the do censed's father was allowed but $5 for the Injury Inflicted In his direction. This particular mob surely picked out a bargain counter victim. "Poor young men," says Mrs. Itussell fiage, "should not allow false pilde to prevent their marrlagu to rich girls." Wo suspect that some of the poor young men with whom Mrs. Sago Is lu the habit of associating have been lliHcmhllug In her presence. A young Washington girl committed ulcldu recently because she feared sho would not pass an examination In Lnt In. The case Is literally tragic. Hut when we think what would happen If the young Hople lu the modern high schools should begin to take their fail ures lu spelling so seriously, we shud der. The next generation of voters would bo decimated. Klcctrlclty lu medicine has scored Its finest achievements lu the treatment of Inactive and paralyzed organs, An 'leetrlc cable stretched from America to the Orient would prove a powerful Instrument lu revivifying and rejuve nating China. It would help lluely lu our own commercial development, but yet liner would be Its work lu convey lug to China every hour the quicken ing pulsations of our better American life. A writer lu the Hevlew of Itevlewn IflvcH this advice; "If you have farm, keep It: If not, get one; for tin time may come when the population of this country will be largely divided Into monopolists, dependents and farm ers; and the farmer will be the most Independent of all men, and will be the nvlug power of our Institutions," We Yen tu re to say that It will not depend o much upon the farm as upon the farmer, The success of the recent swindling chemes of Cotham should, lu the opin ing of the Chicago Times-Herald, cheek the smile that rises to the lips of the cud of the century man as he reads of the gullible fools of the past. Human credulity Is apparently as great as ever, Nothing that Law conceived, no laud fraud such as those that were satir ized by Dickens lu "Martin Cliuzlo wll" sixty years ago could be i greater affront to common sense than the pre posterous offers made by Miller and his tribe. Yet crowds Jumped at them - frantically, and, alas! the greatest crowds were furnished by New York heoelf. lint It Is the story of something vclf, Hut It Is the story of something for nothing, which never has lost and never will lose Its charm for city or country. It Is the occasional success I speculation that Is the Invariable Inn of the tempter, and Miller appears to have used It Judiciously. On no other ground can we explain the willingness oven ot the guileless (lOtbamltes to ike chances with him. Tor 10 per cent, a week Is proof conclusive of fraud and humbug. It makes the wludle as clear as though the meth ods of the "symllcatu" were fully ex posed. Kqually certain also Is the de vious intent of the gentlemen who BrcuiUeU to pay back three dollars for every dollar given him. Ono would think that ho might about as well have advertised himself as a coutldenco man and then asked for u contribution. Hut this philanthropist decamped with $700,000, two other financiers of the snmu sort with $100,000 each, and the trick was done In a few weeks. The White City of Chicago, like the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, gave to hundreds of thousands of peo ple some now Ideas of what art and tasto can do for the embellishment of our surrouudlugs and the Increase of refinement. There hns sprung up a wide and growing demand for "beauty In the city, In the street, In the house, nnd In the articles of dally use." Schools of design have multiplied; eo cletles of arts and crafts give annual exhibitions; artisans nsplro to lx art ists; shop-windows shine with fnlt forms nnd pleasing colors; many things Unit nro cheap are nlso pretty; comeli ness nnd comfort meet In the furnish ing of lowly homes nnd In the nttlre o! common people. For helpful Impulse nnd prnctlcnl suggestion wo nre deeply Indebted to other lands. First, to France, which wns long foremost In nil the modes of elegance and adornment. Next, to Japan, whose decoration of pottery, screen" and kakemonos, ot hanging pictures, has merits far lie yond the clinrtn of novelty. Finally, from linglnnd, where the writings of Ituskln, the fine touches of Wnlter Crane, nnd most of nil, the genius of William Morris, havo worked pervn slvcly on the public mind, with nn In fluence which Is powerfully felt In America, especially along tho many branched lines of household art. It In easy to make too much of mntcrlul en vironment as a means of Improvement nnd happiness, but tho world can never become too lieautlful to match the pos nlblo dignity of Its Inhabitants; and the things that are lovely mny bo tho out ward signs of Inward grace. All hall, therefore, to "tho crusado against ug- llUOBSt" So much has been said about the prevalence of food adulteration In the United States tlint many nervous per sons have become alarmed about th Integrity of their stoinnchs. They a beginning to fear they will have tt. limit themselves to vegetables and boiled eggs. It will bo a comfort for these persons to bo nssnred by a com petent authority that they have been worrying themselves unneccssnrlly. l'rof. Wiley of the Agricultural De partment, who has been helping the Senate Committee on Food Adulter nuts In Its Investigations, rebukes tho nlnrmlsts who have asserted that near ly all food products for sale In the gro ceries aro what they should not be. He sayB: "You may select a hundred samples of food, bought at random In the public market, and you will II nd that hardly B per cent, of them aro adulterated." He says further that "there Is little or no adulteration of our staple articles of food. Take Hour, sugar, meat, nnd other staples, and they will not be found to be adulter ated." This Is a consolation. Tho Pro fessor does not deny that there aro some adulterations not all Injurious to health, however and ho Is In favor of tho enactment of a pure food lttw whle1 shall prohibit the use of harmful adul terants, and which shall give notice to consumers when harmful ones aro used, so they may know they aro buy lug oleomargarine, for Instance, and not fancy they are buying butter. An authoritative assurance that DA per cent, or rood products is tieyoml re proach ought to dispel tlio fears of con sumers. When they make n purchase the chances are nineteen to one they will not bo cheated. The odds are not so much lu their favor lu the horso market or at a primary election. THE SIRDAR'S CAMEL CORPS. A Complete milt Hcir-Coiitiilucil Little riuhtlim Force. The saddle was of wood throughout, with broad fans, the splay of which could be altered to suit it camel's back without much trouble by the native sad dler attached to each company, says the Corulilll. Tho pad win lomovablo leather outside, soft felt Inside, the stulllug being of hair, anil, by a system of pockets, this hair stulllug could bo removed and shifted at will, so as to alter thepressure ami prevent It harden ing and forming Into lumps, tho men being taught to constantly remove and pull the stulllug of their saddles. Kneli saddle was lltted with one large leather "khorg," or bag, containing six days' forage, and with two smaller ones containing tho rider's food anil spaio clothing; besides which each man was provided with two water skins, to bo tilled nccordlng to requirement-. Thus equipped, a t-eveu tliiya' desert trip could bo undertaken, If there were wells containing sutllceut to water the camels about every third tiny. Tin' men were tinned with a Martini rltle and bayonet, ami carried 5100 rounds of ammunition, ninety lu band olier and pouches, the remainder on their saddles, sewn lu n roughly made saddle cloth, so as to distribute the weight equally. They were clothed lu a brown woolen Jersey, cord pantaloons and leather gaiters. The total weight carried when loaded up for a seven days' trip, with tilled wntersklus, would be a good 400 pounds which, of course, reduced Itself dall.x as forage anil water woro consumed Thus we have a complete and self containing lighting force, which In Its own element, the desert, asks nothing from any one, which disappears nnd Is swallowed up In tho trackless waste, to reappear again, after an Interval of six days, having accomplished its task.
