SW6CTBWV'I ? - THE NEW AGE, PORTT.ANT), OllEGOtf. TOPICS OF THE TIMES. 80 ninny Hocluty women nrc going on the BtiiKO Hint net reuses tuny be crowd Mi out of the profession. It can nt lenst be wild for the mnn with n hoe that his position Ih better than that of the woman with n ruko. The Chlcngo Journal meniily Inslnu tea that In disputed parliamentary questions Mrs. Catt will be on tho fence. Another difference between a mnn and n poster Is that, when the former go to the wnll he Is not apt to be tuck up. Goal has been discovered nenr Daw son. The owner of the mine probnbly -will bo willing to exchnuge his product tot gold of equal weight. Out West the other dny a young fel low was arrested for throwing n girl m. kiss. At this rnte If kisses can't bo thrown after nwhllo sighs can't be lieavcd. A fair article of provender Is gen erally given small political offenders In Jails, but what Is calculated to do most ood Is their being furnished plenty of food for reflection. Tho Iloston preacher who founded tho "Holy Grost and Us" society may desire merely to show that the fool killer and Syndicate Miller of New York have overlooked some fertile fields. "In nine cases out of ten," says a writer In tho Washington Post, "the beauty hints In the newspapers nrc pre pared by homely women." This Is n mistake. Fully half of them are pre Inrcd by men with whiskers. The American poHtolllce at the 1'arlH exposition will nerve the double pur pose of accommodating tourists and of exhibiting the postal devices In which Yankee Ingenuity leads tho world. American mall cars, hesldo whluh those of other nations seem primitive, wlll be there, and also the fur-clad Alaskan carrier, with his dugs and sleds. A correspondent of "Figaro," writing from Madrid, gives a very favorable account of tho present condition of tipnln, which ho says "N making rapid progress toward recovery, after 11 se ries of cruel disasters." The tendencies to disorder have subsided; the danger of revolution has paused; under the In Jlucuco of 11 well-balanced budget, pub lic credit Is Improving; the personal -worth and practical wisdom of the Queen Regent have "made her tho one fixed poluytrounwJdcluiU tuo.JlJlitta t Bpnlu ami all the sympathies of Uu rope gravitate;" utid her son Alfonso, Who will ascend the throne In two or three years, gives line promise of In telligence, courage and virtue. 1 Tho neetl of attending closely to de tells, oven to tho smallest, was en forced by Hlr .lames l'aget, tho great iihyslclnn who recently died, In an Inci dent of his career. After operating mpou 11 patient's heart a most delicate operation ho gave onlew that he liotild be kept perfectly tpilet, and wiihjrctcd to not the sllglitrst disturb ance, since his recovery depended upon perfect rest of the body. A few hours later a nurse, disregarding the 01 tier, axjiuplled with tho patient's request for a biscuit. The patient ate It, and tu doing so scattered a few crumbs In tho bed. One Of the crumbs presently tickled his hack. He moved his body to escape It, the movement en used 11 tJIgnturo to slip, nud the man died. 'That crumb killed him," said tho phy Iclnu; nud his Judgment Is not to be disputed. There Is a growing disposition In this country to regard circumstantial evi dence as Insuillelent to convict a man of murder and to Impose the death pen alty. The conviction of Kolaiul It. Mollueux lu New York of the murder by poison of Mrs. Adams Is nu lustuuce. Tho ritiito depended entirely upon cir cumstantial evidence and expert testi mony. Molluetix was charged with ending a package douu up as a head ache powder ami containing pulhon to a man who Innocently gave It to his landlady, who died after taking It. it could not be proven that Mollneux had purchased or sent the poison, and no motive for doing so was made nppar- cut. Kxperts declared that the hand writing upon tho pnekngo whs thnt of Mollneux. Mollneux says he Is the vic tim of yellow Journalism. It muy bo so. Yet the newspapers of New York did llttlo more than securo evidence ajalnst him. Tho only people In the world who lmve over beaten (Irvnt Hrltnlu badly in naval contllcts, and from whom she lias condescended to learn new lessons In naval warfare, aro the Americans. Bhe has more respect for and four of Aho American nnvy than for uuy other, and hns borrowed more Ideas of us thau from nil others combined. This sentiment has been pounded Into her by repeated victories won by Ameri cans lu tint uavnl engagements of two wars, In both of which not only our warships but our privateer demon strated thnt 0 tent Hrltulu was far from being mistress of tho -eas. lu the revolutionary war our navy nud privateers together captured or de stroyed 700 Itritlsh vessels, and in tho war of 1812 they captured or destroyed 1,BM. These exploits Included some of 11m greattwt uaval buttles rwonleO lu history, resulting In American victories that nstouuded tin; itritlsh and no less the rest of the world that had coiuo to regard them ns Invincible at Ken. The estimate Is made by a high au thority thnt the standard of personal morality Is higher In America than In Kuglaud, the standard of commercial morality a little lower, and that of political morality decidedly lower. If this be bo, the Interesting question arises to whnt extent men can be hon est In prlvuto life and dishonest In public life. It does not seem logical thnt n man should permanently differ eutlntc between a few of his country men nud the great mass of them, so that when dealing with his neighbor he Is honest and honorable, and when dealing with tho whole nation he It not. Soon or Into, the same rule must apply In both nud In all cases. The question Is, whether the standard ot public morality shall be brought up to that of private morality, or the. lat ter shall be brought down to tho for mer. - - ' Prof. Sumner rests his criticism of marriage upon tho assertion that "not moro than 10 per cent, of married cou ples realize their Ideal." He might truly have said thnt not one couple In n million, or even not one anywhere on earth, over fully realized tho Idcnl with which It set out. Hut what then? Is marrlago a failure because It does not produce precisely the results anti cipated by the parties to It? Measured by such a standard, must not all hu man endeavor bo reckoned a fnlltiroV Who that ever lived has realized all the drennis of his youth? Who hns ever found life precisely what he planned It to be? In hundreds of thousands of happy homes marriage has been anil Is to-day an llllmltnble success. It hns In none of them "renllzcd tho Idenls" cherished nt tho beginning, but It hns brought something Immeasurably bet ter Into the lives of thoxo concerned. It hns knitted two kindred souls together. It hns surrounded the hearthstone with children whose welfare and education Is a common Interest to the parents. It has Invoked both Joy aliil sorrow to unite two hearts with links of steel, for sorrows shared arc as potent for love ns Joys In common. Human life Is not dependent upon Ideals. And marriage, with all Its disappointments, has contributed moro to human happi ness and human advancement than any other Institution ever devised by (Jod or mnn. By the action of tho Hennte lu rati fying the Hague peace treaty, tho United States now stands before the worltl as a nation no less ready to practlcu thau to preach arbitration. Its promptness lu accepting tho Invitation to Tho Hague, the eminence of those who represented tho country, Its com manding position as one of the grent powers of tho world, and the govern ment's well-known advocacy of tho principles JofnrbUruUou,'-idU-AA4 to' Invest tho action of tho Senate with peculiar slgulllcnuce. Hy It we have now shown our good faith nud other nations may follow. The aim of the treaty, stripped of complicating details, Is merely to make peace easier nud war more dllllctilt. It cuu not compel peace, for It leaves each nation freo to choose a course for Itself; hut It seeks to rentier tho resort to arms tho last resort. Hy providing for peaceful offers of niedlntlon It paves tho way for reason and sober second thought Hy establishing an International court of arbitration It furnishes a simple and dignified method of bringing tho itiestlou nt Issue before tho grent tri bunal of enlightened public opinion. O110 of those who represented this country at the conference has told ot the interest manifested by the Ameri can people during thu meetings nt The Hague. Day after day cablegrams, resolutions and letters of sympathy poured tu upon tho American delegates. Coming from nil pails of the country, and from all kinds of people, their re ceipt not only strengthened the hands of tho American representatives, but Impressed tho delegations from other countries with n profound sense of the zeal of the great republic for the cause of peace nud arbitration. The public opinion of the United .States spoke lu those earnest and cheering messages. It has undergone no change since. The Senate's action shows n Just compre hension of Its great responsibility and n true estlmnte of tho power and honor and sanctity of Its opportunity, ThIIIoss Dots). The "schlpperke," a small dog which comes from the low countries, Is tall less. Ho Is tu his native country tho favorite companion of the Flemish bargee, and hence his untue, which, In Kngllsh, means "llttlo skipper." At tho Knkcuhuiu dog show of 1S7U tho Prlnco of Wales exhibited n pair of Indian tailless dugs. Then there Is tho bob tall sheep-dog. Until within tho last half-century sheep-dogs without tails were exempt from taxation, It being supposed thnt no one would keep n tailless dog who could afford to pay the tax. As n consequence, utmost every sheep-dog had his tall cut off, nud owing to this cntiso the tailless sheep dog, still met with lu some localities, has arisen. Darwin tells us thnt u mutilation of this kind will often be coiuo horedltnry. Water Very Hoarue, Too vnluo of water In South Africa will be fully recognized when It Is stat ed thnt even In times of peace It has been known to cost 10 cents a Quart. The trouble Is that a girl thinks her labor la over when she has won a innu'a lore, mid doeau't appreciate tho struggle that Is coiulug to keep It.
