Eighteen hundred and nlncty-nlno Iran n yrcnt year, but It couldn't end the century. A nmn Ib not neccHHnrlly a dude be rauBc he wears rolled-tip trousers. They may bo fringed at the bottom. A Ghlcngo woman dreamed of bur Clars and nwoko to llnd them In her room. In other words, It was "no dream." Fashion has ordered womankind to again wear high-heeled shoes. This Ib not the solo offense of the fussy old dame, cither. James Whltcomb Itlley mya this world's greatest wonder Is Its Mating' ing Kdltor. And the entire corps of re porters will ngrce with him. It Is the old story. TJic Inst yenr It advertised the St. Jacob's Oil concern made $150,000. A young fellow got hold of It, quit advertising, nud wreck cd It In a year. Judge Shims, of Iowa, tins decided Hint n married woman cannot be com pelted to attend school. It Is always cheerful to lenrn of common sense be ing used on tho bench. Captain Slgsbcc, who was on the Maine when she was blown up but es caped Injury, nud then went through the war with Spain without receiving a scratch, was knocked out by a Drook lyn trolley cnr. Vet people go right on thinking war Is terrible. A Herlln doctor has set tho feminine world ngog by declining thnt to the wearing of veils Is due a vast Increase In the miiiiDot' of red noses. It Is likely that this will have more effect on the fashion than nil the Inveighing of ocu lists which has been going on against It for years. The nvorngp man will mnKc out of n public nlllt'c nil the law allows or does not forbid. Abuses and Irregularities ami doubtful constructions of the law become established. "Kverybody does It," becomes n common excuse for con tinuing (iieslloiiuble practices. Then investigation comes and compromise! It Is said that when Mr. nud Mis. Hamlin (Sarlnud go to a hotel the gen tleman never registers ns "Ilnmlln tiurlaud and wife," but ns "liaiullii tjfliiuud and Zulcmlc Tuft Knrliiud." Ilnnillu Is all right He has the proper idea. There Is no reason why any worthy woman should pass out of ex istence when she gets married. Still, why does he write his mime llrst? The Chicago Tribune's statistician Is responsible for the cheering Informa tion that the lynching record In tho United States for 181)0 was the small est since .S8.". This ts ceitalnly good news, and probably unexpected to many people, foi the Increasing horror of these demonstrations aiming decent folk has undoubtedly heen theeause of iclvlug them greater coiispleuousness In the press when they do happen. The disfigurement of scenery with M'leous ndvcrtlMWiicnts Is a great evil In this country, but Is by no means pe culiar to It. In England It has reached ticli magnitude that n large society lias been formed, with a iH'rlodleal pub lication ns Its organ, to combat It nud to resist Its further extension. The so ciety Is reported already to have done much good, especially by ho arousing Itubllc sentiment ns to make It evident that advertisers guilty of the offense will lose rather than gain patronage thereby. There Is shrewd sense In that )lnu of campaign, commendable for ap plication elsewhere. Advertisements iiro displayed solely for the sake of train, and If It be known that those which have a character revolting to pood taste will repel patronage nud cause loss Instead of again, offensive methods of display will speedily bo iitmndnucd. The remedy of this evil, us of many others, lies within reach of the public. What wns formerly the rule hns be come so far the exception as to occn don sHclal comment when It occurs the retirement of n merchant while still In the vigorous period of his life, leav ing his business to bo carried on by the younger generation. In (he mer cantile life of the olden time this oc curred as a matter of course. To lw nre, what wns then considered n for tune would now bo scurvely a modest coiiUK'temv, but estimates of wealth re only relative. The merchant who vns successful expected to "make his fortune" while ho was young enough to enjoy It. Tho changes that have come about In business methods, tho fiercer competition, the larger demands of life and the corresponding advance lu the estimate of what constitutes wealth, have uindo this old-fashioned class of retired merchants much less conspicuous thnu Jhey formerly were In our American cities. Comparatively few men nre able or willing to let go while there Is opiKirtimlty to make more nud It requires so large a fortune now to make n rich man that wo nro itpt to wonder at any one who Indicated thnt ho thinks he has enough, The commonest principles of Justice ml Immunity must bo lucking lu tho train of a mail who can sit In a Judge's chair and say solemnly to a Jury: "If A railroad com puny kills a child Its par- enta should be sntlsflcd with $1 dam ages. Children nre n source of ex pense to their parents nnd nro of no pecuniary benellt." Yet this Is the ex pressed opinion of a Supremo Court Justice In New Jersey. Only $1 for tho t life of every child killed under the wheels of a train or trolley ear. The market vnltio of nn ordinary dog Is live times as much. A pig Is worth more. Scarcely less foolish than this opinion Is thnt delivered by a justice of the Superior Court of Connecticut He snyB: "Provided the railroad com pany killed the man painlessly, $10 Is sufliclcut dnmnges for his relatives. The relatives must prove thnt the dead man suffered pain to get more. Tuc fact that the body ,1s mutilated does not prove It." Here Is another gem of Jurisprudence. A man put to death pnlnlessly Is worth $10. A nmn who suffers some pnln Is probnbly worth $100. On the other hand, nnd In nc cordnnce with the same rule, n man who Is run over by a trolley car and dies shouting hallelujah nud Joyous prnlscs for the compnuy would have to pay for the privilege, . The question Is asked, Vlicn will England reach tho zenith of her great ness, Thcro nre some reasons for thinking that she has already reached It, and they have no reference to her success or failure In the Boer war. First, the English have censed to be an agricultural people, nud they must de pend, even In war, upon food Imported from over tho sen. Second, ns a manu facturing nation they have already be gun to decay, ns witness their final loss of the premiership In lion nnd steel production. It Is mornlly certain thnt England will be left far behind In the Industrial struggle of the twentieth century by the United States simply because the United States possess tho greater natural resources, whllo In natural capacity the Americans nro fully the equals or the English. Third, If England loses ground In agricultural nnd manufacturing nud trade it will bo Inherently Impossible for her to maintain llrst rank ns a political pow er, becnuse In her recurring wars her accumulated wealth will be gradually swallowed up. That she must engage In such wars seems clear becnuso of the Intense Jealousy of her great rivals, nud because her limited Imperialism brings her In endless antagonism to those rivals In various parts of the earth. There nre two fnets regarding con sumption which, nlthough long known nnd Insisted upon by n few sanitarians ami physicians, have only recently been generally admitted. It Is upon these two facts the contagiousness of the disease nud Its curability In the early stages thnt the modern sanatorium treatment of tuberculosis has been founded. Consumption Is not conta gious In the same sense ns smallpox, for If certain necessary precautions nro taken a tuberculous subject Is little more dangerous to the health of those about him than Is a well person: but If these essentials are neglected tho danger Is very great and very real. Now ninong tho very iioor, osjieclnlly tuosc living in large cities, It Is prac tically lniM)sslble to enforce the observ ance of these precautions, nnd conse quently each consumptive Is a center whence the disease mny, and probably will, spread In countless directions. The transfer of such a patient to a sanatorium removes at once a sourco of peril to the community and at tho same time gives the patient himself the best, nud often his only, chance of re covery. The main elements of treat ment lu a sanatorium are nn nhiiml mice of fresh nnd puro air, wholesome food, rest nud exercise In the proper proportions, and above all absolute cleanliness and the prompt destruction of the baclllus-ladeu expectorated mat ters. Formerly snnntorla were acces slide only to the well-to-do, nud the poor, those who need this form of treat ment the most, were barred. A move ment has started recently, looking to the erection of Institutions for the treat incut of the poor at the exHnse of the Stale, nud to Massachusetts, with Its State hospital for consumptives at Rut land, belongs the honor of being tho llrst of the United States to build such a sanatorium. When not only every State, but every large city ns well, hns similar Institutions for tho treatment and the sanitary education of the con sumptive, we mny hope to see the fatal ities from this "great white plague" be come ns rare as those from whopping cough or a cold lu the head. Known lliimlriMln of Yeiari Ago. Hero of Alexandria, lu his "I'ueu unities," describes, lu the third century before Christ, several applications of steam as a motive power, some of which have formed the subject of pat ents within the Inst 100 years. In par ticular, his "Aeolopllo" Is on very much the same principle as tho steam turbine, which Is the most recent development of tho marine engine, for lu both tho steam acts directly upon fans, Instead of through a piston, lu glass orna mentation several processes known lu Unman times, and subsequently lost, have lieen revived under patents with in this century particularly the art of Incrustation, rediscovered lu France by a manufacturer who used It lu execut ing medallions of the tlrst Nupoleou. The method of tlxlug paintings by an application of glass wns also known to the ltoiuans, and has been tvpntcutcd since 1SO0. In excavating the Itomnn town Cnlh'on, In Knglund, recently, an Iron screw of undoubted Roman origin was found with thread ami ixilut simi lar to a well-known modern patent.
