The only people who hare nil they waat dou't want much. Men who never swear would prob ably bo unwilling to have nil their thoughts written out. The bank clerk who begins by living beyond bis mentis generally ends by living behind the bars. Mnny n fellow who wan excited dur ing the election now finds n thrill In looking after the rnvnges of the codlln -moth. Mark Twain forgot, a few evenings ngo, that ho was invited out to dinner. Most authors, unhappily, have strong reasons for vividly remembering such engagements. The venerable lllshop Wheeler has bImkI up the Empress Dowager correct ly, no doubt, when he says that she "Is n woman of marvelous ability, without principle, and a perfect Jezebel." American Arms are going to build flvo great battleships for Hussla. Wc might exult more over this matter If It were not for the fact that Germany was tickled when Krupp got his big contracts for furnishing arms to China. If that poet who compliments his straw-hatred wife by saying thnt all angels are blondes should ever go homo with n black or brown hair on his shoulder he might stumble on to tlio discovery that all blondes are not an Vds. Since the death of Jay Gould the total of tho family fortune has grown from $05,000,000 to $100,000,000. in view of these figures, tho four-mllllou-dollar Investment of poor, llttlo Anna docs not Boom such a frightful extrava gance. Could thero be n liner trlbuto to tho American soldier than tho following words of an English observer In China? lie says that they "have distinguish ed themselves not only In tho face of the enemy, but wiunlly so against tho temptations that exist In n city like 1'ckln under existing conditions." The Prince of Wales wears his trous ers without a crease. This will be bad news for tho tailors and good news for peoplo who have for" years been haunt ed by fenrs of baggy trousers. How ever, as ono tnllor says, "wo can havo creases In our trousers without the con seat of any other tuition" If we want W. Connecticut wumiin who has vy4" physician bocntmo ho changed tier complexion from thnt of a blondo to a urunctto really ought to liavo a little patience. Tho brunette will lie In fashion ngnln before long, and then he will bo glnd of the change. Hut woman always was an Impulslvo crea ture. A New York bank clerk rises to pro test that "If Diogenes wero living to day, ho could tlnd the man he wan looking for right In any bank In the country, yes, and not only one, but any number of the specimen for which ho searched In vain" and he Is prolwi lily correct. All honor to the honest men In our financial Institutions on whom dishonest men occasionally bring undeserved dishonor! Tho Sons of tho American Ilovolu tlou In Hawaii recently offered a prlzo for tho best oration, written and deliv ered In English, upon n specltled his orlc theme. The competition was open to every boy In tho Islands. Was It tho Kon of n Hon, a native Hawaiian, a clever Jnpanese, a Portuguese of an cient lineage who, at that cosmopolitan erosHrotids of tho Pacific, won tho cov eted prlre? No, It was n full-blooded son of that China which Is now the po litical problem of the world. Government by syndicate Is repudiat ed In Newfoundland. A shrewd specu lator succeeded a year or two ago In getting many of the functions of tho colonial government farmed out to him. This year ho planned to get fuller con trol of tho Legislature and complete tho process of turning tho colony Into u stock company. Tho peoplo have, however, defeated hlin overwhelmingly and will retain what llttlo self-government Is left to them, If Indeed they do not resume io8sesslon of much thnt he hits already taken, You tuny talk about your cooking schools nud your dialing dishes nil you like. Hut when you lmvo walked tlf- (ecu miles with dog and gun In tho wake of quails and come at sundown to a big farm house where "the missus" fries u piece of ham the sice of a shin gle, with fresh eggs Just brown enough and provides light biscuits, made from Jug yeast, and apple butter utul cow butter and lulled otntocs aud thnt ham gravy, nnd coffee strong enough to bounce nu Iron wedge, nud dill pickles nnd pumpkin pie why, what's the use of cooking schools? Thin Is n witty ko. Everything tend to brevity. A few yearn ngo tho nhort-story movement bognu. Then public sneaker learned Unit tho longer their "enlela" tho shorter their Intlu rnctj. They begun to run tho blno pen I'll through their moat swelling thought ntut trim the edges of their rhetoric. Now an orator who holds his audience morejhau an hour Is rarely Itsard, preachors who go beyond twenty -fajfit? minutes being voted bores. Who now will read n six-volume novel? The Vookmuu says 'that the modern novel seldom contains mora than 70,000 words, nud 40,000 Is better. At the enine time sentences tend to shorten. Hooker's average sentence contained 41 words, Macaulay brought It down to 22 and Emerson to 20. Probably the average In current penwork Is less than 20. Cut It short. By any by wo shall talk In monosyllables, grunts or gasps. Wo lmvo no tlmu to nccutnulnte words In sequence. Why use two words when otio will serve the turn? And why waste n word when a look will sulllce? We haven't tltno to tulk. There Is no money In It. , Though Ellas Howe had only forty seven Instead of llfty-thice votes, and so falls of Immediate access to the Hall of Fame, there can bo no doubt thnt his great Invention should be a sat isfactory card of admission. The Bame Is true not only of Morse and Whitney, tho successful candidates, but also of rulton and McCormlck. If the world had not been blessed by the discoveries of such of these men Its development would have been seriously retarded. Morse destroyed distance, and nsltlo from his service to mankind In general he performed an Invaluable service for his own country. Without the telegraph a republic covering a continent would have been Impossible. Whitney made tho business of tho Southern States, McCormlck made the United States the world's granary, and Fulton's genius shines In those great ocean carriers which havo revolutionized the com merce of the world. It Is dlfllcult to pass upon the relative merits of such work, but, vital ns It all Is to human progress, Howe Is not outclassed In the competition. Probably tho women's vote would be tumultuous In his favor, for ho has lightened the labor of worn 'nu a hundred fold Jn somo directions nnd Increased their opportunities for employment n hundred fold In others. If to-day tho sowing machine Is n com monplnco adjunct of every household, It Is not so long since It was regarded as a boon of the first magnitude. Many n woman subjected herself to dally sac rifices for weeks nnd mouths thnt she might purchnso ono from her sennty savings. When the price wns high oven tho llttlo hnnd machine was glndly wel comed, nnd thero wns always tho reso lution to go on from tho substitute to tho real tiling, nut this domestic phase of tho question Is only one of Its many sides. Tho principle has been applied on tho larger scale of enormous wealth producing Industries of various sorts until now the world would be at n loss without It. IIusIiicm nggregntlng mill ions yearly, busluess which diffuses comfortB among n countless multitude, would never havo been developed, nnd life would bo much harder than It Is hnd not Howe persevered In spite of privations nnd dlscouragiuents and tri umphed over the raco of skeptics which always distrusts the gifts of genius. A Perplexed Celestial. Thero Is n young Chinaman In town who Is studying medicine, nnd the stories ho has to tell about his expert-, ences nre often well worth hearing. During tho heated dnys of last Au gust ho came homo one afternoon look ing decidedly disgusted. "Theso American girls they nre bo funny," he said with a despairing llttlo gesture. "Ono como to me this morn lug. Hlio had a very bad suu-burned neck nud shoulders, nud sho wanted It treated, I say: "You get this out bathing?' "She say: " 'No I get It wearing lace yoke." "I turn away. She say: " 'What you prescribe'' "I say: " 'Cloth yoke,' and go nwny from her. Sho looked offended, but I do not see why. What elso could I say? Hut theso American girls are very foolish," nnd the clover young celestial shook his head In despair of ever understanding tho vagaries of girls who criticised pinched feet, nnd went around tho streets with their shoulders practically bare. I)K with Torritorliil HiiIon. All tho Htrei'tti In Conxtnulinoiile uro divided ui Into Hopniuto dog quartern, which aro Inhabited by noU of dogx varying from perhaps ton to twenty In number. Tho frontiers of eaeh quarter nro known only to tho dogs themselves, though one can gut to know them by uotlelng how far n dog will follow one when enticed by hoiuo food, Kach sep arate colony guards Its colony with tho utmost vigilance; mid theso tmmo crea tures which deem so Indifferent to all thnt goes on arouud them will at once Jump up nud bark at any strnugo dog thnt encroaches upon their territory, and should the Intruder persist they will set upon him and chase him out ngnln. Ono wonders how the demarca tion of theso quarters was ttrst arrived at t Bnooxo Wood. Among Its many peculiarities South Africa Includes tho "sneexowood" tree, which takes IU name from the fact that ono cannot cut It with a saw without sneering, ns the tine dust has exactly tho effect of snuff. Even In planing tho wood It will sometimes cause sneezing. No Insect, worm, or bar nacle, will touch It; It Is very bitter to tho taste, and Its specific gravity Is heavier than witter. The color Is light brown, tho grain very close nnd hard; It Is a nice-looking wood, nud takes a good polish. For dock work, piers, or Jetties, It Is n useful timber, lusting long time tinder water. nnrboia Aro Urn 1 11 Worker.
