' THE NEW AGdE, PORTLAND, OllEGON. r7XPCS OF S rae rains. ) Mark Twnln I nt homo, nnd the IJiir Msh can now Iihvb tlio pleasure of pay ing cablo tolls on lilt Jokes for awhile. This country has absorbed tho Swe dish loan without nn effort. Any other nation wanting money is Invited to call. The Itoxer Is said to bo responslblo for rlso In the price of ten. Alas, tho poor consumer Is called upon to settle for everybody's doings. Kmerson's law of compensations still holds. While one end of tho modern university sends out foot-ball pluyers uother end turns out surgeons. Andrew Carncglu may be ninbltlous to bo poor, but ho always keeps enough money so that when ho writes a book ho can afford Id have It published. Four persons were killed In a political dispute In 1'orlo Klco, which Is not so bad considering Hut Hhort time tho L'or to Wains have had to acquire practice. One of thi' yellow papers refers to Its cartoonist who gets a salary of about flG.UOO a year as "ft poor man." It docs not, however, go so far us to call him one of the plain people. Now South Wales, which hns a sur plus of over suoo.ooO In Its treasury, should be very careful that It does not Import any Aiucrlcan politicians along with Its next cargo of American rails. Professor Proctor's theory of the per petuity of mutter through successive collisions of the planets Is fanciful, but It has the negative merit that none of tho professor's contemporaries Is likely to live long enough to rofuto It. Borne Industrious scientists are now proclaiming the earth Is not round, but Is larger on the equatorial lino than nroutul tlie poles. If these eminent men keep at work tloy will soon know tho elementary facts taught lu the geog raphies for the last hundred years. Foreign trade has picturesque fea tures which greatly relieve Its coldly commercial aspects. For example, In sending to Zanzibar a hundred thou sand dollars' worth of kerosene oil last year tho United Hlutes was doubtless trying (o "light up" the dark continent. American locomotives are going to Af rica In such number that the continent cannot much longer be called slow. Ivory, an ancient source of Africa's wealth, Is becoming so scarce that earn- at efforts are now making to preserve ,the herds of elephants from wanton laughter. What wonders modern com merce works! Tho growth of population about the Great Lakes will lie one of thu Im portant revelations of the present ecu ins. Six lake cities, llulTalo, Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, Milwaukee and Chica go, have added more Hum n million people since 1SII0, an Increase of nearly tlfty per cent. The Increase Is directly related to the giowth of coinmerco of the (Ireat Lakes, which has doubled In the last live years. The tonnage ca p.K'lty of vessels passing through Hie mnal at Sault Haliile Marie Is now half as large again as that of all the vessels which enter and leaVo the port of Now York, and two ami a half times as great bh the tonnage which passes through the Suez Canal. The great lakes cer tainly cannot bo culled "a waste of water." They arc teeming with llfo iiul usefulness. Newspaper headlines largely elimin ate articles. Will this affect our lan guage bo as to maku It conform with Latin, which had no articles'1 Tho song says "The Campbells are Coming," but the headlluer would my "Campbells Are Coming." It Is evident that clear ness Is sacrlllced In this casu to brevity. Hut lu many cases, articles can be elim inated without Injuring tho sense. The headlluer and the telegram writer continually practice the art of cutting out articles. Will tills habit gradually Intluence the majority lo do without ar ticles? Ami will the language be Im proved by such change? Our forefath ers used to decline the article. With them It had gender and number as well ns case. The feminine of "the" was "tha," and the neuter "that." Iong ago Kugllsh-hpcaklug people declined to de cline "ihe," and "the" man and "tho" woman have come to look alike, while the same article Is made to servo for singular and plural. Hut the end of "the" Is not yet. Possibly we shall al ways have to use an occasional article. The poets will certainly not give the article up willingly. What kind of poetry would telegram and headline English make? Attemptsto break the marriage bonds nfler they have been tied but a few hours have been very ftvquent of late. Especially have the very young mar ried couples shown dissatisfaction with their new condition almost as toou as It has been assumed. In many of these can's, a longer trlttl might have devel oped (he fact that the turtles to the contract were well enough lined for each other. He who can suggest a method by which hostages, so to speak, tun bo given to Cupid (or tho greater perinunenco of tho. marital relation wilt do a kervlco to the race, One reader says that the engagement ring Is such host age.

With a siilllcient forfeit or penally, young eoupios nilgiit be expected to Walt until their minds Mere actually made mi. Instead of riisii- !ng Into wedlock and then attempting to rush out of It again at once. A contributor to a popular mngnzlnc says there is need of a comblnid effort on tho part of the public- lo d.scoiiragu brilliancy and cleverness Of late It has been tho Increas.ng fashion for guests at social d.nners to oiler so much Intellectual fccasoumg that It has be come a nuisance to people of whole feoino Intellectual tastes, and there Is a call for less spice and more (low of real soul. In other words, Att.c salt, for a while, at least, Is below par. It has lost Its savor, or, what Is the same thing, the public has lost Its lellsh. In fiction one has an excess of brilliant, witty conversation. It becomes monot onous In the extreme and the reader sighs for the refreshnmut of a slng.o homely, eoiunioupla'ie expression. When, ndded to thl&, the conversation nt social dinners Is limited to humor ous stories, well-prepnicd wit and pi qunut remarks, the whole soon becomes a bore and one prays for a respite. As the contributor truly says: "A monot ony of the uncommon Is more tiresome than n monotony of the commonplace." "Guides to Conduct at Social Dinners" are sadly needed when one has no In nate sense of thy fitness of things. Hut those published of late have all ac cented the need of pleasantry, vivacity and brilliancy. So faithfully have these hints been carried out that the tinseled conversation Is now threateued with the banishment It deserves. The Ideal horse that can trot n mile In two minutes seems to be not far awny, Every time a fraction of a sec ond Is knocked off from u trotter' time Uiotwo-uilnutohorse comes neaier. The Abbott, a 7-year-old gelding, trolled a mile lu the uuprecedeujed time of Z:m. The fastest previous Ume on any track was made lu 18IM by Alex her admirers called her "Sweet Allx" lu a:0ayj, at Calesburg. III. The Ab bott Is comparatively a young horse. The great trotters of the past made their best time when they were old, as the age of a horse Is counted. Flora Temple, Jay Eye See, Goldsmith Maid, Kiirus and other queens and kings uf the turf did not show their best speed until after they had reached ten or twelve years of age. The reason why trotting horses do not make their, best lime until ripe lu years Is obvious, A very fast trot Is an artlllclal gait. Any green horse, If pressed to a fast trot, "breaks" and begins to gallop. The expert trnlners of the fast trotters .show their skill lu teaching the hortc to main tain tho trotting gait without "break ing" Into n running gait. The ablest teachers and the most teachable horses have accomplished this result. It Is a gift lu the teacher and lu the scholar. The mind of Hie man must move lu sympathetic accord with the receptive Instinct ol the horse. Hy this method the greatest results are produced. Hut It Is a task of years for the trainer and the animal. .That Is why aged horses "aged" Is a technical word meaning a horse out of Its first youth alone have made the fastest time on the trotting turf. A running gall Is as natural to the horse as to all other anluiiils mak ing their greatest hmi!. Young horses run faster than old horses. The spur of youth and ambition animates them. They do their best under their native Impulses. They need no education la develop their highest capacity, for achievement. If The Abbott should reach the ago of feu or twelve years, and not be overtrained In the mean time, he might become the Ideal two minute horse. It must be remembered that few horses can rim a mile lu less than two minutes. The best racers have made their mile In about a minute nnd forty seconds. When we reflect how short a second of time Is, only one tick of a watch, we can Appreciate the remarkable effect of animal culture In educating ,n horse to trot a mile lu only a few seconds more than the fastest running horse has shown, lu speed. Half of the quarrels between a man and Ids wife start when she Is doing up her hair. We could stand having our enemies hate us If our friends would only love us, but they don't. After a girl gets married she 'tries to look at nu old maid as If she was home klud of a curiosity. No man could overlive for very long with the kind of woman that always means more than she says. Half the girls you meet are either pretty or clever. The other half are onos who would make good wives. No woman's feet feel really comfort able unlet. she has got them In a pair of shoes that are too small for them. Nothing makes a woman buy a thing she doesn't want so quick as to have tho clerk net like he thought she couldn't afford It. The, women have got up a discussion whether a wife ought to open her litis baud's letters. Nouo of them ever really does It, but she wou't even admit to tho others that It Is beeausu the doeau't dare, New York Pres. I rati Bute Firms ol lie Done; FIRST NATIONAL HANK, THE DALLF8, OR. J. 8.
