TOPICS OF
THE TIMES.
Some people elenr their consciences
te much tho snino manner they would
clear coffee.
Ono million dollars to nothing, ns a
ratio of lliibllltlcs to assets, nlmost
mounts to genius.
Talking of dog exhibitions, no en
gine's nnccstrnl tree cnu bo conclusively
decided by Its bark.
Snrnh Bernbnrdt says tho American
man does not know how to make love,
when wo doubt If Sarah ever saw him
really try.
Science now claims to tell the ago of
fish by their scales. No scientist, how
ever, has yet discovered a method by
which to tell the ngc of a llsh Htory.
John D. Rockefeller Is credited with
being tho richest man In the world nnd
In the enjoyment of tho largest Income.
And yet his digestion Is such that nn
ordinary Dutch lunch would put hlui
n tho shelf for a week.
"Horses, cards and women." There
ccniH little elso to say In tho case of
defaulting Cashier Ilrown, of tho Now
port (Ky.) bank. Tho story Is old
much too old. Many sermons and many
columns of editorials will not innko
plainer to people the fact that, If a man
own tho wind, ho must reap tho whirl
wind. Brown Is reaping the whirlwind
after hla career of vlco. In tho mean
time tho raornllst ponders over tho mat
ter and honest men mourn tho loss of
their money.
A competent referee hns reiortcd
that tho sorvlces of a lawyer In a case
lor which tho dlsclplo of lHackstono
put In a bill for $17,000 wero actually
worth no more than $1100. It may not
be easy for an attorney who seta ho
high an estimate upon hlixiuallncntloiis
ud efforts to 11ml client hereafter.
Overcharges of a few hundred per
cent may bo expected now and then at
tho bar, but to ask $17,000 In tampon
wtlon when onc-liftleth of that amount
would hnvo been a fair remuneration
passes the bounds of patience.
The practical extinction of tho buck
wheat cako of our fathers must be laid
at the door of the miller. He Is accused
f mlxlug wltl) buckwheat Hour wheat
bran and short In tho Interests of
imomy. Ifor a while tho adulteration
undetected, but gradunlly consuin-
)comiiiiMLnt tho buck
wheat cakes don't JHVto any moro like
they used to do In the good old days
back on tho farm, and people began to
top buying buckwheat Hour. Ab the
demand fell off, the fanners raised lesH
uid'teftsu'iidttvlieat. A nice of honest
mllf6lrco-oioratlng with the farmers,
might raise tho buckwheat cako to Its
former proud portion.
Wlillo people were still shuddering
over tho ntroeltles of the "Moxers" In
Chlua came tho terrible detallx of the
liorror at Mmoti, Col. The ieoplo of
tlutt region are not peculiarly blood
thirsty. They seem to have gone nlxnit
tho thing much as they would have
come to the aid of a neighbor In any
other matter. They left the punishment
to the father of the murdered girl. They
furnished tho murderer with a lllblu
ud gnvo him time to pray. Tlicy had
ordered tho rough element to keep
awny ami make no Interference. What
queer mixture of order and crime, of
religion and uln, of civilization and bar
barism, of compnsslou nnd malignity I
Whenever modern Invention or dis
covery has produced anything, some
ono pops up to Inform tho world that
China knew this thousands of years
go. If China did know any of those,
ho never made use of them, and Is
'entitled to no credit. Tho latest claim
U that archives lit I'eklu show she Net
tled America. This really Is an old
claim renewed, and one that him been
alscredltcd by scholars for many years.
Humboldt and his school believed that
tho civilization of Mexico and Peru
was derived from other people, but the
trend of modern belief Is that It was
evolved by the aborigines themselves.
China's claim has no moro foundation
than Ignatius Donnelly's that the set
tlement and colonization of America
camo from the fabled Atlnntls,
A regimental physician tu tho Kreuch
rmy hns Investigated the effect upon
soldiers of regular marching In discip
lined bodies. Tho uniformity of tho
soldier's step cniiNcs tho ludetlulto repe
tition of a shock of the brain and bones,
and consequently the mode of motion
Is far moro deleterious than an Irregu
lar walk, Ho attributes tho peculiar
ches and pains of tho meu to tho fact
that the samo parts of tho body receive
the series of shocks. What doe tho
doctor suggest by way of relief? Ex
periments have shown thut his plan Is
flteaclouB, The device Is simple: A
rabber heel for all military boots. Tho
tsralu-Jar and other unfavorable seusn
tloaa are so diminished as to give the
Safaatryiueu a new lease of activity.
T relative ettlcleuey of the army may
taw be Increased by what might bo
foacldered an uulmportaut change. The
aeate might be tut tied In a long and
dM contest In favor of the rubber-
men, and tho map of Europe

Oil places Rockefeller's wealth In that
property alone at about $200,000,000,
In addition to this ho hns large inter
ests In other directions, so that It Is Im
possible to measure accurately his en
tire fortune. Within tho last year, how
ever, the advance In the market value
of his Standard Oil stock alone has In
creased his wealth $05,000,000 or so,
while his annual Income In dividends
from that stock Is about $1(1,000,000.
Such astonishing llgures go far to prove
that the Standard Oil magnate Is the
richest man In the world. They nre
lllipol vltlfr. Iintl'ltvof li n unnen Aft
--"- r, ..,..,..,.., ... u .,....,. .....
ltocKcrciicr naB no such accumulation
of money ns that, nor could he have.
Any effort to convert thoso holdings
Into money or Into other forms of prop
erty would "bear" tho market and ma
terially reduce the value. The estimate
Is nctually based on the earning power
of his property, calculating the capltnl
value according to tho current rate of
Interest. Tho lower the rate of Inter
est happens to be at n given time, there
fore, tho grenter Is the estimated value
of the foruno from which the enormous
dividends nre drawn. The annual In
crease of the fortune, likewise, does not
mean a corresponding reduction In tho
wealth of others, for It Is not drawn
from stocks of commodities and money
previously existing. It Is drawn, In
stead, from tho year's Increase In the
general wealth of which this particu
lar fortune obtains such a conspicuous
shnre. Tho prophecy that such n for
tuno could bo accumulated by any
means, legitimate or otherwise, by the
end of tho nineteenth century would
hnvo been considered wildly fabulous
100 yenrs ago. Washington died the
richest man in America, yet ho was not
a millionaire with nil his land, slaves,
accumulated crops and similar posses
sions. Jcffersou throughout his writ
ings continually calls attention to the
essentially agricultural character of
this country, and tho fact that by forco
of naturo tho development must be
nlongngrlculturnl lines, virtually assum
ing that tho country must bo i datively
poor, and that great fortunes could
hardly bo accumulated tills, too, when
$1,000,000 would have been considered
n stupendous sum. Thnt Is hardly
strange when we remember thnt for
tho wliolo of Louisiana territory Jeffer
son paid but $15,000,000. He could not
autlclpato the astonishing wealth which
thnt very ngrleulturo would create, nor
tho minerals that tho new territory
would produce, far less the bonanza
fortunes that would follow with the
era' of railway building, manufactur
Ing and general Industrial expansion.
AVIiy Man Is Huperlor.
Mau Is a perfected marsupial. He Is
a creature of iockcts. With hlui the
necessity of a pouch simply develops
one. Thla Is tho law of evolution.
Tho first wo read of him as a pocket
bearing animal was on a level with the
kangaroo. Ho then had one pouch
fastened to his belt. Now look at him
and compare him to women, for whom
In his chivalry ho Is truly sorry.
She, In her helplessness, Is usually be
hind the kangaroo, nnd nt her best only
equals him with one pouel fastened at
her waist. Hhe was not evolved through
the laws of nature, hut under the stern
er decrees of tho dressmaker.
What a difference between no imck
ots ami 11 score of pockets! The tlrst Is
woman; tho other, man, Woman Is lit
erally fettered for wont of pockets.
She must carry In her hands whatever
Is not n part of her clothing, while
man's arms, palms nnd lingers are free
free to help his unfortunate sister.
Thing of live pockets In trousers, live
In vest, live In Jacket and live In over
coatan exact score In all. Some meu
have more than this. When man took
up tho handkerchief habit he made a
tiockct for that convenient article. He
doesn't have to bo picking them up
except for tho women.
Ho made n pocket for his knife and
n pocket for bis watch; a pocket for his
keys and n pocket for his letters; n
pocket for his tobacco and n little
pocket for his car tickets, and he
kept on making pockets as fast as he
needed them.
Women, In their helplessness, envy
him. They reach out to hlui to borrow
his knife, to borrow his pencil, to bor
row a bit of string and to borrow a
dozen articles (hat he usually has
stored away about his clothing. lie Is
kind and lends, for he Is sorry for them
In their arrested development. New

Why Ho AViiH lMeiiHcd.
When the children attending n cer
tnlii school reassembled after the sum
mer holidays one of the teachers asked
her little pupils If they were pleased to
get back to bchool.
"Yes," wns tho nlmost unanimous re
sponse. Taking tho boys Individually, the
teacher next asked:
"Why are you pleased to get back to
school?"
"Heeause," answered the bright
youth, "I gets n bit o" rest at school. In
the 'olIdayB I Just ruus herrlus all dayl"
Some gave ono reason, some another,
but It was reserved to a little tot at the
bottom of the class to startle the
teacher.
"And now, Johnny," said the lndy,
kindly, lifting the youngster onto her
knee, "why Is Johnny pleased?"
"Must I tell the troof '" asked Johnny.
"Of course, Johnny. Now, why are
you pleased?"
"Heeause I ain't, so tlierel" replied
tho Incorrigible. Loudon Tit-Hits.
