THE NEW AGE. PORTLAND. OREGON.
TOPICS OF
THE TIMES.
Atlvlco to heroes mid statesmen:
Wlicn nbout to wrlto a letter, don't.
Don't tnlk nt random. Mnko every
thing you nay lilt the mark or nave your
ammunition,
601110 men use Sunday na a sort of
sponge to wipe out the bIiih they com
mitted during the previous nix days.
Among other things, has Mrs. Nation
smashed that old proverb about Its be
ing dangerous to fool with edged tools?
In tho last hundred years Turkey has
lost nbout half of Its territory. This
looks as If somebody had been using
tho Ottoman to walk on.
Tho powers wntit to mnko progress
In tho Klowery Kingdom, and this de
capitation business Is supposed to bo
one way of getting n head.
"Kidnapers arc bound to bo caught
In tho long run," says tho Itoston Her
ald. Let's see when were tho kidnap
ers of Charley Hobs caught?
ManlVi harbor Is to bo Improved,
though it Is admitted that It Is much
less dangerous than when Admiral
Dewey sailed Into It tho tlrst time.
Ah to tho lash for 11 wlfo beater, why
not tlo him up securely and let the In
jured wife give him a good touguu lash
ing In tho presence of all the neigh
bors? A woman has brought suit for di
vorce 011 the ground that her husband
refuses to eat her pies. Still, she would
rather bo a real widow by tho pie
route. .
Only IJ.'WU new books were published
In thu United States last year. How
ever, pcoplu vainly looking for some
thing new to read can always fall back
gu tliu maga.lnes and newspapers.
Emperor William may Import the
American hen to (Jermauy, but will the
time over comu when the politics of
that country will permit of our election
roosters appearing In the public prints
there?
A Vauderbllt descendant has proved
capable of something more than spend
ing ancestral money. It may yet bu
fashionable for hereditary American
wealth to have brains and disposition
to use them. "Young Corueel's" tlrebox
hows soiiio Inventive power beyond
tho muru talent of devising new dissi
pation. A Voninii whoso husband bunt her
rvgularly onco a day for forty years
has at last appealed to the police. It
seems that there was a point where
oven a patient, loving woman could
stand It no longer and the head of the
household tried It once too often when
lie started to tnko his dally exercise on
tho llrst dny of thu forty-llrst year.
A cooking school for doctors has been
established In Merlin, and among the
numerous attendants are physicians
from several countries besides tier
many, llraueh schools are to bo open
ed In other Kuropeau capitals. The
medical man needs to be it good nurse.
He ought 'to bu able to apply the prin
ciples of wholesoniu cooking likewise,
If need be, In preparing delicacies for
tho sick room. A supervision by tho
doctor, himself competent to cook what
lie orders for the patient, would turn
many a kitchen Into a serviceable addi
tion to his equipment.
"I a 111 no longer young," snld mi
Alaska pioneer the other day, "but I
expect to live to see a continuous Hue
of railway from New York to St. Pe
tersburg by way of Bering Strait. In
fact, work on one of the connecting
links will be begun within a year." Tho
lino ho referred to will extend from
Tort Vahle. on tho sea to the Yukon
river at the mouth of the Tanaua,
rrom this point another road Is project
ed to Nome, aud If that should be built,
n railway across the strait to Siberia
might become at least a possibility. If
expanding trade should demand such
n road, neither the engineering nor the
financial dllllciilllc would bo Insur
mountable, it Is an Interesting thing
to speculate about, at any rate.
It Is not only thu rural resident from
up tho creek that buys gold bricks.
Sometimes Important salcx of this sort
of merchandise are made to wise ones
who dwell In cities. A certain "pro
fessor" of fortune telling appears to
hnvo done a particularly neat piece of
gold-brick work In an Kastern city. Ho
has been telling some of tho social
lights or that town that his Insight Into
tho future would lu wonderfully sharp
ened If he were allowed to sleep over
night on Jewelry ltclouglug to his cli
ents. Ho Intimated that the larger thu
(luuutlly of precious metal ho had to
sleep on, tho better ho could foreensr
future events. Ono of his clients was
tho wlfo of a well-known manufac
turer, who willingly gave up her Jew
elry ami what gold coin she had In the
house. Tho next day the professor had
left town, Ills Inspection of the future
was perfectly satisfactory to him.
"I would Joyfully, many n tlini'," tmld
a famous (ringer the other dny, "ex
chuiiKe nil my luititlc ovatlona for my
mother'H knowledge how to proimru a
palutuhle. meiil." Nevertheless, bo
fuHhlonnlile luive eullimcy and use
hold subjects become, thu. "my motif
er pics" have formidable rivals In
"my daughter's doughnuts," Even col
leglate straws show which way the
wind blows. Themes recently chosen
for senior theses In several lending
women's colleges Include "The Ser
vant Problem," "Household Econom
ics" and "Foods In Kelatlon to Intel
lect and Sanity," mid stand In marked
contrast with the poetic and platitudin
ous graduating essays of only n genera
tion ago. To be "a good housekeeper,"
said Shakspoare, "goes as fairly as to
say . . . . n great scholar." To-day,
as never before, the two accomplish
ments walk hand In hand.
Tho mollifying Inlluenoo of death,
which Is so often felt In private family
relations has been manifested on n
largo scale, Internationally, since the
death of Queen Victoria. The English
pcoplo have been often Irritated by
the German Kaiser. Ills commercial
and naval schemes have seemed to
them to bo aimed against England. Ills
message of sympathy to President
Kruger, after the Jameson raid, still
rankles In their memory, and nioro
than onco they hnvo tnken offense nt
some Impulsive thing which ho lias
snld or done. Hut when, an soon ns ho
knew that 'tho Queen was seriously 111.
ho left the scene of the festivities with
which the 1'russlnu bicentenary had
Just been celebrated, and hurried
to tho denth-chaiubcr nt Osborne, they
were profoundly moved; all tho more
so because ho waived otllclal formali
ties, mill Joined tho waiting family
group simply ns the grandson of tho
Queen, The same lullucuce was felt
elsewhere. Thero was no discordant
note In tho world-wide expression of
sympathy. Tho French and Itusslau
Journals, which are npt to bo critical.
If not hostile, toward England, Joined
In tho tributes to tho Queen. American
Journals were ns cordial ns If thero
never had been any Alabama claims or
Venezuela dlfllculty or Alaskan bound
ary or other vexatious question be
tween tho two countries. Under the
reciprocal kindliness thus Induced,
English Journals began to suggest that
perhaps too much had been made of
annoying amendments to tho liny
I'auncefote treaty, nud that It might
bo well to concede to tho United States
the disputed points. So It cmuu to pass
that the good Queen, who has all lur
life striven for pence, In her death ex
erted a strong Intluciico In the smile di
rection. It would be a misfortune If the pas
sion for "getting on" should narrow
our educational Ideals nud substitute
the man of facility In affairs and the
expert for the man of broad culture
and tho man of freed Imagination. The
movement In colleges mid universities
to Introducu "practical" courses niny
sometimes appear to bo tending In that
direction, but It Is rather to bo regard
ed as an effort to give young men and
women a better 'introduction to certain
typical, phases of actual life, says a
Chicago Tribune editorial, mid to af
ford them In certain lines that special
ized preparation for particular occu
pations which, to a degree at least, can
be more economically attained In mi
Institution than otherwise. The School
of Economics and Political Science In
tho University of Wisconsin hns re
cently announced certain modified nud
enlarged courses, Including one on
"Public Service mid Diplomacy" and
another In "Preparation for Journal
ism." Olio of this country's greatest
(Mlltors onco expressed the opinion that
no one could bo "prepared" out of hand
for Journalism; aud yet It Is evident
that not only general culture but famil
iarity with certain lines of Information
aud thought furnish the Journalist mi
Invaluable background for his work.
Training for public administration mid
for diplomacy Is even more obviously 11
great present need lu this country. Our
easy theory that the duties of public
life can, under our simple system, be
met by tho ordinary citizen, Is largely
chargeable with our pernicious prac
tice of "rotation In otllce" and with the
lack of vigor and eltlclency In much of
our public life. The action of Ma ill son
University Is n part of a general move
ment during the last ten years among
American Institutions of higher learn
ing, the valuable effects of which,
though not conspicuous as yet, are
bound to be Increasingly felt ns
