YAfifpr -Tfwr' - - "t f v 'T 'THW- ' THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND. OTITCGOTST. TOPICS OF THE TIMES. Foot-bnll Is n favorite Rntnc bocnuso It la a Boiirco of exercise, fun nnd some thing to boot. While tlio nutomoblle Ih usc1 by lov ers, It locs not throw young people to gether so much iih the bicycle did. A. girl traveled 25,000 miles to get married to the innii she loved. It Is not opeclllcd whether his wind gave out or his rig broke down. ' The one-man hold-up Is becoming quite a feature of train robbery In tho West. Everything appears to be run ning to vaudeville these days. A man recently committed suicide In order that his wife might get $2,000 lfu Insurance. Such an iiiihgIIIhIi man wus 'most good enough to keep alive. Cheese Is tho murk of rank In Switz erland, and the social status of u fam ily there Is decided by tho number nnd ago of Its cheeses. Some of the Swiss cheeses certainly suggest rank. When nature exhibits tho might of her destructive forces how puny tho greatest efforts of human rage seem by comparison. (JnlveHtoif'H list of killed In a single- night exceeds thnt of tho Spanish-American and Anglo-Boer wars added together. The father who hypnotizes his chil dren to make them do his will, Instead of scolding and whipping them, may get along easily with them, but won't ho Ilnd later on thnt the Individual's Independent will power, on which self respect depends, has been destroyed? The thirty largest cities In tho Uni ted States show an Increase In popula tion In the last ten years of about 11,1200,000. The drift of population Is towards the eltloH. There are thousands of people who prefer to live In squalor In town than have the freedom of the country. There Is more laud for tho landless than there Is urgent demand for, If hind In cities of over 100,000, and readily markeabe for cash, Is excluded. A New Kuglaud manufacturing com pany, which has taken n contract to make a large number of hats for tho United States government, lias aban doned the old plan of Hues for careless ness and consequent mistakes on the part of Its employes, and henceforth will reward skillful work by advances iu wnges and by money prizes. There In llttlo doubt that the plan will provo a good one, both for the firm, and for Its employes, ami that Undo Sam's sol diers will get better hats Iu conse quence of It. Tho Agricultural Department has Is sued n bulletin on mosquitoes. It gives full Information concerning tho various breeds of mosquitoes that have to be dealt with Iu this country; It explains which kinds, of mosquitoes bite tint hardest; It gives diagrams of their drilling contrivances; It goes Into minute details concerning the number of baby moxqultocH a reasonably Indus trious mamma mosquito may become responsible for Iu the uourue of a week or a year, and In fact It tells us nil about mosqultoes-all hut one Import ant thing. The bulletin gives us no In formation as to how mosquitoes can get along for a whole season without sleeping n wink. KngllNh postolllco clerks must here after address all male correspondents lis "Ksqulre," unless they "are evident ly laborers, personal servants or trades men." So rules the Marquis of Umiloii deny, postmaster general. Ills order tends to widen tho application of the title, which has, been held to belong to the eldest sous of certain noblemen, olllcers of the courts and the Queen's household, barristers, Justices, sheriffs and cx-nlllcers jof the army mid navy. In the United States the title Is, per haps, most properly given to attorneys; lu practice, It Is used as Indiscriminate ly as the overworked "Honorable," Hut If one uniformly addressed Ameri cans as "Mr." and Kugllshmeu as "Ksq." the KiikIIhIiiiiiiu could not be offended, and the American would have no right to be. Tho severity of ltussla toward Fin land Is resulting lu a lurge Increase of the population of the United States, ami an Increase of Industrious, law abiding citizens. When Alexander 1, wrested Finland from Sweden he promised his new subjects certain rights which they linvu enjoyed over luce. The present Czar, however, litis broken this pledge, and by placing Hus shin olllcers lu command of the Finnish army, substituting the study of tho lliiiriluu language lu the schools, abol ishing the Finnish ting and by other op pressive nets, he has broken the nation ul pride of a noble and patriotic people, lu their borrow the Finns are turning to America, l.n&t year llfteeu tliousiunl emigrated. This year one steamship line alone has made contracts to bring nfty-llvo thousand to this country. Un like most Immigrants, these people seek the country rather than the city, for they are nearly nil farmers. If they display here the qualities which have distinguished them at home, they will brlug strength, not weakness, to the laud which offers them asylum. Italy has now one of the youngest sovereigns and one of the oldest prime ministers tu Kurope. Victor Kininan uel III. Is not yet Ul, and Slguor Cuv Jlere Qlutcppo Suraeco. thu head of tho cnbL'ic, Is 82. The young king ami his venerable counsellor face a sitting tlon which calls for the courage of youth and the wisdom of nge: For sev eral years the forces of discontent hnVo been Increasing In numbers nnd activ ity. Partnership In tho Triple Alllautta has Imposed heavy burdens upon Italy. Taxation has been onerous; food has been high. Two years ago there wero dangerous riots which required the uso of troops to suppress. The Government hns tried to restrict the rights of public assembly, at first by legislation, nnd than by royal decree. It has tiled to prevent parliamentary obstruction by giving tho President of the Deputies arbitrary powers of suspension. Hut, ns often happens, these measures have only intensified the evils which they were meant to check. In the parlia ment which was in session last spring, nil business wns blocked by violent demonstrations similar to those which paralyzed the Austilnn Ilelchsrnth. Deputies howled, sang, played on mu sical Instruments nnd beat their desks for hours to prevent motions from be ing put, and the Government gave up ' the useless struggle and ordered elec tions for a new parliament. The elec tions took place In June. They gave ( the government n majority lu the , Chamber of Deputies; but they nlso showed that the government wns In , a minority on the popular vote. The I various opposition candidates polled, altogether, nearly one hundred and fifty thousand more votes than tho min isterial candidates. The ltcpubllcaris nnd Itudlcnls gained heavily, aud tho Socialists gained most of nil. The cost-of-living question Is one thnt comes up for discussion at Intervals In the mnjorlty of well-regulated Ameri can families. All other expenditures aro so closely related to It and so fre quently regulated by It thnt It niny bo regarded as the curdlim! question of domestic life. The Woninu's Kduca tloual ami Industrial Union of Iioston has recently carried on nil Investigation with the view of obtaining data which would serve the purpose of establish ing a basis upon which there could bo h common understanding of the prob lems Involved ami eventually a reason able solution of them. The Investiga tion resolved Itself, of course, Into nil Inquiry Into household expenses ami the results, and the principal source of Information wns the tabulated reports of the Massachusetts Hureati of Statis tics: The schedule of statistics of par ticular moment was tilled out by sev-1 enty families living Hi the vicinity of Hostou. From a condensation of the report of the Inquiry the following In teresting facts are obtained: One fam ily of two members was represented, and one of seventeen, but In geueral they ranged from three to twelve. The time for which expenses were reported covered nine mouths, and tho Items re ported upon were (1) subsistence, (2) fuel and lights, (.')) rent, (-1) taxes ami Insurance, (B) servants and service, ((I) furniture, fittings, nnd repairs. Only two of the families kept no servant. Of the remained twenty-two employed one servant, while twenty-nluo reported two, thirteen three, and four families reported four. One-half of the seventy families owned their houses, and the rents paid by the remainder ranged from $18 ii.iuouth to S'JXi. The total expenses for the whole period of nine uioiitlie showed u wide range from jf.V.S for a family of three to ?r,IUM!il for n family of ten. The average total expense for nil the families of live per sons was found to be $1,-177.1! I. I '"or six persons It wns $2,058.01. The total weekly cost of subsistence for families of different sizes ranged from $7.'-5 for a family of two to $.11.1)5 for a family of twelve. The average cost of sub sistence per week per person Is found to be from $'J.iU) In famlllles of eight persons to $l.r0 lu families of twelve. The lowest rnto of all was $1.'-'1 n week for each of the members of n house hold consisting of eight, Including one servant, lu contrast with these was a family of two, with two servants, whose food cost $8.(11 for each week In nine months. The difference In thu size of the families, the difference In tho menus at their disposal for supply Ing their various wants, render theso statistics worthless. They simply show that seventy families have lived lu sev enty different wnys. according to sev enty different methods, depending prac tically upon seventy different kinds and sizes of Incomes.
