If It 1. 1 THE NEW AGE, POltTLAND, OttEGWXff. 1 ', i l ie If fr ,Kf v Jr ; v THE TIMES. I A bright girl ruiHlcru It tlms: "A thing of bunuty Ih ii boy forever." Probnbly tlio bout wny for a girl to keep her IiiiikIh free from chaps Ih to circulate the report thnl hIio him no money. If there nre nerinona In hIoiicb, why can't there he Htunip HpeeeheH for wood presurvntloit In tlio burnt reinulns of forest lit en. It would Huem that at present the unootliL'Ht of UhlncHo Htatoxmen had trouble enough to inako him wrinkle bis forehend like n washboard. Hx'Presldent Harrison Is reported to hiivo said golf Is not a game but n dls- rase. It Is a good deal llko appendicitis, too. , Only well-to-do people an afford to hove It. , "What Is poetry?" asks an earnest contemporary. Poetry may be dellned off-hand us that which so ifrnny people think- they can write and ho iniiuy edi tors know they en n't. Women physlclaiiH are to exnmlne the women wlio apply for positions In thu Chicago schools hereafter, and only those of robust physique will be em ployed. Teaching hcIiooI Is work that Is wearing on the nerves at the best, ami when u teacher Is In 111 health the children Intrusted to her suffer. Per haps the Chicago hcIiooI board Is not wrong In thinking that the great fault of the school system to-day Is the phys ical weakness of many of the teachers. Involuntary suicide by high nnd tight collnr Is one of the decrees of ruling fashions for men. More human beings of both sexes sacrllleo health, life or comfort to fashion's decrees than In thu service ol any nobler cause. The high tight collar has ievled a nodal Incident which was peculiar to Ury den's duv and which he has described In "Kir I'opllug Klulter." The tight stock then In vogue made men Involun tarlly eek relief from cerebral pies lire by violent shaking of the head. Kir Kopllng adored a "diving bow" Which, with u sling, ciiHts nil the Imlr be fore, Till he with full decorum brings It buck And Hues with a water spaniel shake. Kruin one extreme fashion usually proceeds t another. The tight collar Btiil high may revho the Mowing neck erchief, which assured both ease and grace to man's neck before asphyxia by fashion en me in. Thu more one thluks of thu line thought that thu Victorian era's I or- tills will be, not Its soldleis, but Its phil osophers and pootH, the more true does It Heein. Liberty has been the watch, word of the Victorian literature. Lib erty has not been the gonfalon of the KiikIIhIi soldier. The battle for fiee dom has been waged by thu writers. (iiHklu fought against tradition mi precedent In art, Charles Dickens aiiit Charles Heed attacked political and so cial tyranny as did the historians, tSroto and Macaulay. Henry Drum inoiiil and John WiiImiu and Martliicnii have waged pitched battles against In dlicctloii and slavlshuess In religion. Ceorge Illlut and Charlotte Itroute have exposed society's shams and wrongs. Spencer and I.ewes hae largely destroyed the old philosophy, nnd l.ecky. Carlyle, lUteklo mid Krottd have rewritten the old history. Teuny Mm and Itiowiilug have thrilled tin) world for freedom no less than llyron vud Shelley. In science especially has a great work been wrought for liberty, as I list unco In one gtoup, Darwin. Huxley, Tyudall and MuIUt. and In another, Faraday, Herschel and Hugh Miller. What names are these' Where Is the name of the soldier of the Victorian nge that can rank with the least of Uichc when measured by bis elVort to advance the race? The Iowa crop report contains a sug gestion that may be partly responsible for the short crop of wheat. It Indi cates a considerable gain In acreage of com and a falling off In the acre ages of wheat and other crops, with Improved conditions of live stock. This Is an Indication that the tendency Is more and uioie each year to devote the farm to corn for slock feeding pur poxes and to give up the raising of small grain for market. With the usual prices of grain and stock this Is good policy, and It Is advised by most of tlio agricultural papers which urge It as the best plan for small farmers. The tihlpplug of feetl when the stock might be fattened on the farm Is wasteful, An illustration Is found In a recent Dumber of the Louisiana Planter, which told of the use of molasses In that sec tion of the country for stock. It seems that while for years low guide molasses has been shipped to Kiiglaud from New Orleans for fattening slock, It had not occurred to the loUlslniui planters that It would be nunc protltnhlo for them to ui-e the tuolasHcs for their own ani mals and have the expense of train., porting the stuff and (he cot of the barrels. I.um year they began using It with prolltuble results. The snuu dKcovery In regard to the prolltable ness of feeding corn seems to have been made by (lie fanners of tlio Cen trul West. I.IKo all good men happily married, Gladstone owed much to the sympathy, advice, appreciation, and common sense of Ids wife, the venerable lady who lias recently ended her long ami admirable cureer. He also wns her debtor In a peculiar bouse, for she guarded his bodily health nnd bis peace of mind a few public men wete ever shielded. Her cure for bis physical welfare and bis happiness was so constant, so un tiring, and so Intelligent that she was sometimes spoken of as a sort of spe cial providence watching over his coin lugs and goings, his food and exercise, his clothing and bis sleep. It was once said of her that she kept her famous husband In cotton, foi he found the html angles nnd comers of life won derfully smoothed and padded by his wife's shiewd and vigilant protection from whatever might do him harm or cause him needless strain or worry. It Is hard to estimate too highly the vuliirt to a public man of such assistance. No one can weigh accurately the share of Gladstone's life work which would never have been accomplished If he had been unfortunately married, or not married at all. What Is certain Is that his chances for the great success which ho won were Immensely Increased by the extreme good fortune which cuino to him early In the form of domestlu happiness and remained with him to the olid of his life. Voting men who arc ambitious, sensible, and strong should give due heed to this striking object lesson on the necessity of care In marriage and the wisdom of not fall tng to llnd a good wife. A Hoston newspaper has been trying to llnd out, through Interviews with col lego authorities, whether the profes sions are overcrowded, and whether young men In professional life can earn their expenses during the first year. It Is true that the opinions of deans of the professional schools can not be altogether free from prejudice, as It Is the duty of each one of them to build up his particular department. The fncts, however, bring out some points that cannot fall to be of Interest to the many youths who are hesitating between a business nml a professional career. Tlio deans of both tlio llostou and Harvard law schools say that the legal profession Is not overcrowded. Prof. Ames of Harvard says that a young lawyer cannct expect to make his bread ami butter the I list year. Dean Ilcnnctt of the lloston Law School says that any young man who Is In earnest can succeed In the law, but tuhls the rather contradictory ad mission that "two thirds of the lawyers to-day could do practically all the law business there Is to be done." As to medicine, Dr. Itlchardsoii of the Har vard Medical School states that I. prac titioner of even mediocre abilities will succeed ,lf he attends to business, but adds that lie cannot go, to football games mid sail about the harbor. Pew young doctors pay their way the llrst year. Dr. Smith, dean of the Harvard dental school, Is more optimistic ami declares that there Is plenty of room for dentists. Tlio outlook for the be ginner Is better now than at any previ ous time. He said that the llrst year was uphill work, but that a number of men make Jf.'.OOO the llrst year, though the average for the novice would bo about Sf.'OO. The most golden oppor tunity for youth, Judged from' the opin ions of the secretaries of the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard and of the Massachusetts School of Technology, ur' to bo found In science. Secretary Lovo of the former school says: "l should say that there are tint one-half enough professional graduates In engl nerliig to-day. I tin not think theru Is t!i slightest fear of overcrowding. In mining, civil, meehanlcdl nml electrical engineering I know of tio dltliculty that our graduates have bad in getting started." If there are any conclusions to be derived from these opinions it Is that there Is room In tlio professions, not only at the top, but In the middle, and In some professions at tlio begin ning. It would have been Interesting If the deans of the different theological schools had been asked to add their testimony. Twelvo unit a Fraction. The ruler of 11 small Clerman state has discovered ouo way of warding off tlio dire calamity which must result from liavlug thirteen sit at a table. A llerllii exchange Is the authority for this statement. - His serene highness Is In tlio habit of giving little dinners and parties, to which only the social select are called. At ouo of these exclusive affairs held lately the prince ordered a cover to bo laid for Heir L., one of his cabinet coun cil. Herr L. was n little late, nnd the rest of the guests had arrived when he pre sented himself at the door. A superstitious baroness exclaimed, as ho entered, "Good gracious! Theru are thirteen of us!" "Calm yourself, my denr baroness," said Ida seretio highness. "Herr L. Is not ouo of us; ho belongs to a burgher finally." Youth's Companion. Wlmt Hurt Her. "I am so sorry for Maude," exclaim ed the summer girl In thu sailor hat. "She's Just about heartbroken." "Yea, Isn't It too bad" gushed the other In the duck suit. "I didn't know until yesterday that her engagement to .lack dayboy Is broken." "tiooduess! It Isn't that!
