Nikola Tesln hns Invented some more
talk nbout nn Invention.
Electricity Is now Kcnerntcd by the
w'iivch of the pen to llht buoys. This
Is n wonderful generation.
Tliey have christened the youngest
Vnndcrbllt baby Muriel. Wouldn't that
have Jarred the old commodore?
King Edward will doubtless justify
his three-score years. It's said he used
to go It like sixty before he was fifty.
Humor now lias It that W. Waldorf
Astor will remove to Paris. Why does
Waldorf not buy n country atid remod
el It to suit?
If the bicycle Is falling Into. compar
ative disuse Instead of being used In
pneumatic tires there will he all the
more nlr for the airship when It comes.
A contemporary nsks whether one
bonnet In nine years Indicates Insanity.
No, but nine bonnets In one year often
does lu the husband who tins to pay
for them.
They are going to stock the woods of
Massachusetts with wild Itclglan
hnres. It Is to be hoped that they have
made arrangements to enlarge the
woods right away.
The truth or falsity of tho stories
about tho Prince of Wales that have
been circulated In the past forty years
are now n matter of great Importance
to the whole civilized world.
Princess Victoria Louise, the only
daughter of the Kmperor of Germany,
though she limy one day wear a crown,
Is being taught the duties of n good
Jioiisekeeper, quite as If sho were to
marry a plain worklngtunn. It Is
enough to shock some American so
ciety. The recent Vnnderbllt and Rockefel
ler weddings, wherein two great heir
esses married countrymen of their
own, arc said to have greatly disturb
ed certain circles of Europe, and led
to the formation of nil organization
with headquarters at Paris, whoso aim
Is to conduct such a "campaign of edu
cation" among American girls of
wealth as shall demonstrate to them
the Impropriety of K'stowlng their for
tunes and themselves upon Americans
while titled foreigners nre still abun
dantly available.
Horace Greeley, speaking of tho biff
trees of California, said that somo of
tlrtrmUftTS'bccn "serenely growing ever
adtu'e Jrsus was on the earth." Kilt on
the Ixlaud of Kos, off the coast of Asia
Minor, stands an oak twenty-live feet
In diameter, which a German scientist
believes to be two thousand nine hun
dred years old. In that case, It must
have been a vigorous sapling In tho
days when King Solomon "spake of
trees, from tho cednr tree that Is In
Lebanon even unto the hyssop thnt
sprlngcth out of the wall."
Wherever capital punishment exists
there Is talk about Its Ineffectiveness as
a deterrent from crime and the conse
quent propriety of alxillshlng It. Hut
In most, If not all, States and countries
where no death penalty Is now Indict
ed there. Is quite as much talk about
tin necessity of reviving It. Tho gen
eral tendency of the times, however.
Is beyond question against the lnllle
tlou of the death penalty. It has often
been stated that there would bo less
opposition to this tendency If n sen
tence of Imprisonment for life did not
so often fall to lx carried out If, that
is, tho prisoner condemned to perpet
ual confinement did not have the hope,
umouiittug to n probability, of ultimate
pardon.
Kidnaping Is a crime so viciously un
reasonable mid so much resembling
murder In Its effects upon the friends
of the victim and so likely In many In
htnui'cH to result In that crime that
legislative bills providing for the death
penalty In case of conviction tltul very
general approval, Certainly as between
tho death penalty and a term of Im
prisonment shorter than that provided
for second degree murder, the general
fcciillmcut would approve the former.
Out of the legislative discussion of the
Mihjcct, which litis Ihhmi so quickened
by recent events, some satisfactory
conclusion as to tho punishment for
the crime should Iw reached, and It
tdiould 1k severe enough to make the
offenso a terror to tho would-be perpe
trator. Iu the time of Claudius, King of Den
mark, there may have been a divinity
hedging kings, though the suddenness
with which Claudius himself shuttled
on' this mortal coll Indicates that the
divinity didn't hedge him to tiny great
oxteut, Hut In (ho present age it is
quite evident that though princes con
tinue to maintain the assumption of di
vine right which necessarily Implies
divine protection they nre particularly
careful to supplement that protection
with carnal and temporal measures
against anarchists, nihilists and other
forcible critics of royalty. The elabo
rate police precautious taken to pre
vent the blowing up of half the royal
til's of Europo at Victoria's funeral
show very clearly that the royalties
themselves use the divine right Idea
for publication only. For practical
purposes they prefer to have n squad
of detectives close at hand and troops
within easy hall.
James J, Hill, the railroad magnate,
Is ouo of tho remarkable tmui of his
times, and It Is well to understand
some of the reasons for his success.
What Is the secret of Mr. Hill's suc
cess? was asked the other day of a
number of New York blinkers by n
Herald interviewer. "Common hones
ty, I should say," replied one man.
"Ills stockholders know and believe
In him. They know that they will get
as much out of the property as lie gets.
Everything goes to the stockholders
of the Great Northern road. It owns
Its own telegrnph lines, Its own ex
press company, Its own sleeping and
parlor car service, Its own dining car
service, Its own steamship line; ev
erything that contributes to Its earn
ings Is owned by the company. There
Is no milking ilong the way." "Atten
tion to detail, I believe, Is the dominant
quality In .Mr. Hill," replied another
banking friend to the same question.
".Singleness of purpose and n complete
mnstery of detail of everything con
nected with his property. Why," ho
continued, "he knows the number of
ties on every bridge along the line
from St. Paul and Minneapolis to Seat
tle and Vancouver. And there Is not n
llgure relative to the cost of anything
thnt he cannot give you otT-hnnd." In
thcHc days when David Hitrum's the
orem of the Golden Hule Is taken by
so many people as the key to "shrewd
business methods" It Is plonstug to note
that the men who hnve achieved nota
ble success have believed that honesty
Is the best policy.
The attention of the young men of
the time Is called to the fact that char
acter Is cash capital, and that It pansco
at times and places for tho financial
benellt of the owner when money
would le of little nvnll. This is not
taking Into consideration the better
part of tho proposition that good char
acter alone Is sulliclcnt to promote ier-
sonal satisfaction and secure for tho
owner a degree of happiness and pleas
ure. There was a time when the boy.
was supiosed to "sow his wild oats."'
If ho plants such a crop at this time
those who deal with him now nnd whoj
will deal with hi in In the future will
demand a proof that the seed of tho
wild oats has been extirpated. The!
young man who Is engaging lu busi
ness nt this time finds that the posscai
slon of wealth Is not the principal
thing. He must hnve character and
being In possession of that n mensura
ble amount of wealth may come to
him. Reputation Is everything. It'
may bo well for the people to talk of,
tho tlmo when honesty and sobriety
wero In better esteem than now, but)
thero never was a time In'hlstory when
these qualities were so nearly compul
sory. There never was n time whecj
more attention was paid to self-control!
for the good of the Individual and for
tho effect on society. If the young
men could only know, of the volume of
business transacted annually on the,
word of tho Interested parties they
would knowtho meaning of honor. If
they could also know that tho loss in
this class of transactions Is less than I
In the class where tho signatures are
tieiiiiiiiticii ami uaius are recunieu iney
would appreciate the qualifications
that must be obtained by tho one who
would succeed. If they know of tho
niimlier of men who refuse to transact
business with those they cannot Implic
itly trust, aside from nil financial guar
antees they would hnve somo Idea of
the circles that will 1h barred to them
lu case their reputations should be al
lowed to suffer. Employers of labor
aro demanding that their men shall
have good habits. In this tlmo of com
petition they cannot afford to have
their trade suffer through the short
comings of those Into whose hands It
Is given. Employes nre coming to de
mand thnt the men alongside them at
their work Iks upright, sober nnd ab
stemious, for they will not bear tho
blame of failures for which others are
responsible and that may be charged
to their account. In short the men who
do not cause their families to suffer
through their own habits will not al
low that their families should suffer
through the habits of others, and tho
lines are being drawn closer all tho
time. The young man has tho chance
to succeed lu business If he hns the
ability mid the right kind of charac
ter. He has the assurance of failure
If he has the capital and lacks lu char
acter. The jMissesslon of money will
not add to the credibility of any man,
for employers know that there Is great
chance of loss by the employment of
those who lack the Intention to deal
fairly with them. Integrity, care for
reputation, ability nnd the desire to
lead the proju'r sort of life are the
things that will win In the future.
UNLUCKY MEN ARE ALL ALIKE.

"Tho unlucky men nil nro kin; they
nil linvo certain qunlltlen alike," says
"Au American Mother" In tho Ladlca'
Homo Journal. 'They hnve eyes keen
to look Into the root of things, but which
nlao (1 renin dreams anil ets' vUlona;
they hnve hot jiumnn blood, they love
or hate In no half-way uienHure. To
each of them, too, cornea ut times no
nmtter what the business or pursuit
may bo by which they strive to push
their way a mom; men nntl to grow rich
n sudden disgust of It, heartfelt ami
real, n contempt for the work ami for
Its successes. They dream of some
thliiK lioforv them better than money
or otllce, ntul they try to clutch at It.
8o they ro through life, groping for
success with ono hand ntul for their
dream with tho other, nnd they lose
both. We must vhooso either Clod or
Mammon ns master ntul keep faith
with him If we mean to succeed."
It la told of a miser that he eats his
meals lu front of a mirror because It
doubles tho illshcs.
