THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON. TOPICS OF ) THE TIMES. If tlio finny Is going to linve twenty seven now cloiitlstB, tlio jnws of denth ought to linve tliclr teeth pulled. When trUHtH nre formed In meat nnd other foods, It ecrtnlnly looks like try ing to turn the tablet on the people. Mr. Carnegie tmys that he wns nhvnys n builder of nlr entitles; but he Is not left to wonder If dremns euinc true. "Silent" Smith, the richest bachelor in America. Is going Into society. Now watch how long It will take Home Inno cent "bud" to mnko him talk right to tlio point. To the glory of womanhood bo It Hnld Mint Queen Victoria never claimed or exercised the royal exemption from do ing right which aoiiio of her royal an cestors assumed. If F. Ilopklusou Smith ever llnds an "Uncle Tom" company booked In oppo sition to his lecture he will probably gain n good Idea of the way In which blH recent strictures upon Mrs. Stowo'H mnstcrplcco arc generally regarded. Andrew Carnegie says he used to be afraid thnt ho might some day go crazy! Wu have no doubt that some of his fellow millionaires, having heard of tlio plans ho has uiado to glvo away money, nre convinced that ho Is crazy, An Important change In the new uni forms of the German army Is thnt the buttons arc dark and worn beneath the cloth, The shining buttons that glis tened In the sun, proclaimed to the ene my: "Hero lies a brnvo Holdler's henrt. Shoot!" No rational Inw of wnr or so ciety demands tuat risk. The Zionist movement for tln Jewish colonization of Palestine meets a seri ous check In the Sultan's decree that 110 Jew who enters that laud shall re main more than three months, or be permitted to acquire landpd property. The london Spectator refers this no tion of the Turk to Itusslau diplomacy, which scents In Zionism a movement of (lermany to acquire n "sphere of lulluence" In southwestern Asia. "The Tolce Is the voice of AbduMIamld, but the hands nre those of the Uusslnu for eign minister." America Is becoming more nnd more accustomed to lusttiuces of great wealth, mid possibly Is nlso arriving nt aauer conclusions as to the limits of money power nnd the desirable uses to which It can be applied. Thu old say ing thnt money Is power Is not true, generally, In the sense In which It Is commonly used. It does not need an analytical mind to understand that there nre many very obvious limita tions to the (tower of money. A million aire can eat no more dinners per day tlinn the laborer (not so tunny, In fact) and, whllo he has the power nnd gen erally exercises It to command costlier foods, frequently they are no more pal atable nnd no more nourishing thau the plainer food at the command of the or dinary day laborer, while the latter will probably be able to command the best mice lu the world hunger which the millionaire rarely possesses. The pos session of money up to n certain extent, varying with the Individual's capacity to use It, Is power, lteyoud that It he comes an Incumbrance rather. To uso greut wealth as an end to enjoyment one must have great capacities, The anllor who, when asked what he would like to have If given his choice, wanted: First, "nil the 'baccy' In the world;" second, "all the grog lu the world," The third wish puzzled him. After thinking It over awhile, In despair he said: "A little more 'Imcey.' " The old auecdote Is a good Illustration of the way In which many people would llud their power lu using wealth circumscribed. In answer to au advertisement which offered, free of charge, a "two-dollar book on the secret of successful specu lation," a lloston man n year ago for warded his nddress. A package of at tractive circulars came promptly from a Now York "Investment broker." Since that time the Hostoulau hiu received from thu same person tweuty-threo let ters and two telegrams, all advising blm of special opportunities lu the stock-market. The New-Yorker's prop osition sounds very fair. lie does not want to handle any money, and agrees to pay himself with n percentage of thu prollts madu In transactions ho advises, lie tells the Investor to send his money to any oue of several tlrtus, members of thu stock exchanges. The Investor 1 to authorize these people to "buy and ell stocks for my account when ordered to do so by" the agent, who claims to Lave peculiar facilities for forecasting the course of thu market. Many per sons yield to thu agent's artful and per sistent solicitation, and conclude to risk a little. Iu the course of a few days tlio man who has parted with a hundred dollars or more Is Informed thnt the stock Itought for his account has unex pectedly fallen lu price, and his mouey la lost. As a matter of fact, thu Inves tor has been swindled, Thu agent mid thu broker are In collusion. No stock was either bought or sold. Thu broker gave thu agent a certlllcnte of purchase and sale, to mnko thu transaction look "regular," mid then thu two thieves di vided thu victim's money, Thu stock exclmnges can sometimes discipline such brokers, ns they lately tried to do; but It Is almost Impossible to bring tlio law to bear on tho "advisers" nnd "agcuti," who are as adroit as they aro unscrupulous. The only war one cau get tho better of them Is to let them alone. Probably nootlier article of dally food has been so frequent a disturber of the household peace as pie. So admir able nre the qualities of good plo nnd so dungcroUH nre those of bad pie that It behooves housewives to study and mas ter the art of plc-maklng. An unfortu nate couple were before Judge Crane In New York the other day. The husband was charged with Ill-treatment of his wife, and the wlfo wns there as n prose cuting witness, though they hud been mnrrled only n yenr. Thu wife's com plaint was, In brief, that her husband not only called her names because of her nlleged poor cookery, but on one oc cnslon when she served him with mince pie he not only opened tlio window nnd threw It out Into the street, but pulled her hair and Informed her that she was a failure as a pie-maker. IIu did nut taunt her for not making pie us mother mnde It, but for utter, nbject Ignornnce of the whole subject, nnd he pathetical ly Informed tho court thnt his conduct was Justlllablu because the plo tasted as If It were madu of sawdust. Judge Crane, lu thu opinion of tho Chicago Tribune, took n wise view of tho sub ject. IIu did not lecture tho wife for her Ignorance nor punish the husband for the assault. Ho Is from Massachu setts, where the pie was llrst known, If not Invented, In this country. IIu told thu youthful pair of thu excellent mlncu plu of his boyhood, nnd thnt ho could not llud such plo anywhere save In his own house, for Mrs. Crnuc had tho re ceipt. He appealed to tho wedded pair to maku up their little quarrel and go homo and ho would scud them thu re ceipt. They consented nnd left tho courtroom arm In arm, and peace has prevailed In their homo ever since tho arrival of tho Judge's plo prescription. While tho wisdom of the Judge Is to bo commended, It Is hardly correct for him to assert that there nre no good pies ex cept those made from tho Massachu setts receipt. Tho knowledge of suc cessful plc-maklng has spread to other States, nnd, while good pies aro not yet tho rule, still they may bo found lu many localities. Much of thu obloquy which has been visited upon plo has grown out of the ludirferenco of cooks who will not tako tho pains to make good ones. When properly constructed pies nre not only toothsome but whole some, nnd good not only for dessert at tho principal meal, but for three meals a day or nny oue of them. Considering the many virtues of pie, It Is surprising that mothers do not more frequently In struct their daughters In the nrt of making them, nnd that tho women's clubs do not offer prizes for them In stead of for paintings, and servo them at their Intellectual repasts Instead of croquettes nnd salads. LUNCHEONS ON WHEELS. DtatrltititlasvKltclieun Now Bispptjr the WunU of limy I.onJonort. This Is nn ngo of luxury: Tho "Dis tributing Kitchens, Limited," has mnde It possible for tho busy ninn or his typist or both to sit down In the olllco to n luxurious luncheon, or for thu budding barrister to glvo a bail' quet In his own chambers. That Is, II thu lunchers nre prepared to be satis lied with an entirely vegetarian meal. "Ilusy men nnd women," says the prospectus, Insinuatingly, "who do not wish to leave their olllce, can have dainty, light luncheons sent to them In well-appointed trays, lu which cutlery, tablecloths, etc., aro Included. Dwel lers In Hats who nnd n dllllculty lu pro curing good cooks will find n solution In the system herein advocated. Suppose you have chambers at Char Ingeross or Westminster, or anywhere within u four-mile circuit of Victoria street. Your maiden mint has comu up from thu country, or n friend has look ed lu. Tho day Is wet, and you do not wish t go out. Drop an order-form, tilled In, to the company. You can or der "a In carte," or you can trust to the establishment nnd cull for "table d'hote!" tho pr'co list comprises a choice of over 1,000 dishes. In nny case, nt the tlmu appointed a conspicu ous yellow cart will drive up to your door. At the rear end of the van Is a stove, heated by trays of charcoal. From thu Interior of the van tho at tendant will draw forth spotless imp cry of the most attractive kind, dishes and cutlery of electro-plate, and your luncheon or dinner carefully reposing In Its component parts lu dishes placed lu n block-tin enso covered with green bnlzo. Thu man will call back for the dishes later lu tho day. London Daily Mall. Then ami Now, Shu wns nt a party, Ho had not yut arrived, but she wns momentarily ox pectlug htm. The hum of conversation through thu room had no slgultlcmicu for her; nil her faculties weru bent on thu front door. Kvery tlmo It opened, at every step lu tho hall, she would start, while her fncu would Hush ond her eyes light up with feverish expectation. Then tho color would go back from her cheeks, her eyes would dull and her heart sink when another than he cmuo Into thu room. Finally he arrived and took n seat be side her, nnd she leaned over his shoul der nnd Joyously murmured: "My dnrllngl my dnrllngl" Sho was too happy to sny aught more. Ten years later, and she again waits. It Is In their own homo now. Ills step Is on the stoop; ho opens tho door. Sho springs quickly to the hall. "Wipe your bootsl" she screams. Ten years ngo they were not married; now they are. London Spare Moments. Tho average woman regards every photograph ever given her as some thing sucred, and sho keeps them so long that uo one cau tell who the orig inal was. 01 T HE CELEHRATED COLUMNA'DREWER?.
