TOPICS OF
THE TIMES.
Tho man who mnrrlea his Btenojrrnph
rr may presently nntl himself dictated
to.
A California thief store a pair 'of
tronaerB nnd the Jooutnr Judge gave
hi in thirty days on each lujr.
Tho ostrich may pop his head In tho
santl occasionally, but he never wears
r new hat with a pair of run-over heels.
When one walks out with his best
Rlrl, tho annoying frequency of tho
;andy stores Is an object of remark
on her part.
The Hoston Olobo proposes that Mas
nacliUHctts shall tax her old maids.
That should ralso quite nn amount of
revenue. Also quite an amount of
Cain.
Prof. GocrKeson says small farms
will be the rule In Alaska. One that a
farmer could put In his satchel and
carry south In tho winter probably
would be about the right size.
Tho kaiser U having buckwheat
cakes like our' grandmothers lined to
make and genuine maple syrup. Docs
lie realize tho Inevitable sulphur and
molasses following such a diet, which
our grandmothers used to use?
Iter. Agataadoros A. Tapageorgopou
tons ha been forced to resign bis
chargo In New York for riding a red bi
cycle. This Is a shame. A man who
could balance Unit name on a red bl
cyclo ought to have encouragement.
Dr. Nagusha, tho Japanese scientist,
says rats cause all the world's plagues,
and favors their extirpation. Now If
the doctor will go on and explain how
tho extirpation may bo done ho will
have tho world still further In debt to
blui.
Kniperor William's complaint of tho
"demoralization of public opinion" In
Germany and tho "growing lack of re
spect for nuthorlty" Is a condemnation
of himself. No ruler con bo respected
In thfso doys who thrusts men Into
prison for expressing their opinions.
A Now York woman married recent
ly a Kronen count who turned out to be
a horse doctor. It Ih not often, how
ever, that these foreign matrimonial
alliances turn out so well. This wo
man, for Instnnce, might have married
a horso doctor who turned out to bo a
vrench count.
Miss Llzlzo 13. Cottmau, tho Nebras
ka school teacher wlioso pluck, Inge
nuity and endurance saved tho children
of her school from almost certain death
In a Hood, hns furnished nn example
of heroism which should bo heralded
throughout tho country as an Inspira
tion aud a model.
Thero Is altogether too much of fnd
In modem educational methods. The
Idea seems to huvo taken rout aud llrm
ly established Itself that some pic
turesque method must be used or the
results obtained are vnlulcss. Tho
more absurd and outlnudlsh the meth
od, apparently the better.
In ninny nu'uilmii street and avenue
boys mid girls going home from school
nre seen to bo carrying thick nntl
weighty bundles of books. Is It not pos
sible that they are expected to study
to excess outside of school hours? Is
there not now and then a tendency to
do too much shilling In too short a
time In our methods of education?
There was a time when returning
tourists kicked vigorously over the
KuroiH'iin system of tips for any nnd
all services. They kick no more. Tips
are Just as often demanded heru us
abroad and are a great deal larger. You
get shaved, you dine, you take a cab,
you have your coat brushed, you nsk
oven a question and there you are a
dime or quarter or more.
A recent writer on nltro-glycerln
ays the stuff makes a faUllst of any
man who handles It, You never can tell
Just why It does or does not unhinge
Itself. Once n ton-quart can of It drop
ped off a house and did not explode; at
another time a mitu struck with his
cnue an empty can that had once con
tained the stuff, and ho thought he had
been kicked by a battery of mules.
Sometimes a mere look scents to be
enough, again It requires a hammer. At
the best the compound Is "touchy," and
It Is always well to stand over In the
other lot and let tho hired man play
ball with It.
Tho aggregate Importance of little
things la again curiously Illustrated.
Great tracts of Maine woodland aro
now said to bo menaced by no more
Igulncaut a foe than the common,
overy-day spool. The members of this
devastating army nre small, but their
.number Is legion, and each year tho
drain upon the white birch forests
the only wood used for that purpose
grows more severe. Seventeen shk)1
mills now devour thirty-lira or forty
million feet of birth tlmlier every year.
The output Is eight hundred million
pools, on which could be wound threud
enough to reach urouud the world at
the equator three thousand six hun
dred times, and still leave ends enough
to tie. Fifteen or twenty million feet
of birch aro annually shipped to Scot
laud In tho form of spool bars.
Recently the last vestige of operation
ou any of tho cauuls of rcuusylvuula
disappeared, the company owning the
remnant of those once Important water
ways having decided to ifbandon Its
Investments, sell whntevor assets were
aalable, and go out of business. Alto
gether those cnnnls cost about $50,
000,000. They did nu Important work
In the earlier days of the State's com
mercial development, but railway com
petition hns finally done for them what
it long ago did on most routes for the
Btnge coach and the teamster. Ex
cept as connecting links between nat
ural waterways, canals will probably
soon disappear forever from the Amer
ican scheme of transportation. The
application of slack-water systems to
our rlvcrH may, however, yet have an
Important development.
Of course It's a nice thing to be born
with a sliver spoon In one's mouth. It
Is pleasant to have money nnd luxuries
without working for them. Hut to gain
those things by personal effort Is bet
ter, and there are young men who re
fuse to be the pampered children of
fortune simply because of manhood nnd
the good blood that Is in them. In n
box car at Madlll, I. T lives Roger U.
Whitman, He Is assistant station mas
ter, and the car Is the railroad station.
It Is as rough as tho country In which
It Is located. Who Is Whitman? A
millionaire's son. There Is a home that
Is almost a palace, waiting for htm In
New York, lie can have horses and
dogs. Ho con rldo In Central Talk
with a groom behind, and hear people
say: "That's young Whitman, son of
the old millionaire." He can hao any
thing that money will buy, and he Is
working for the St Louis nnd Snn
Francisco Railroad Company for $50 a
month. Ho Is building up his body
with beef and beans, when ho might
wreck It with champagne and rich
foods, and he sleeps well on a bunk In
the box-car station. All this because
Roger Whitman wants to be a rail
roader, lie doesn't believe that a trade
can be learned In a day, or that one
can cut across lots to success. He Is
going to learn as other successful men
have learned, by hard, unceasing toll,
and rise only when ho merits promo
tion. That kind of spirit will bring al
most any young man Into prominence.
It will doubtless mako a big man uf
Roger Whitman. It should mnke even
greater successes of tho young fel
lows who, spurred on by necessity, and
who are not haudlcaped, ua ho surely
Is, by money.
Tho Social Economics Club of Chica
go baa been considering to how low a
point the personal budget of a work
lug boy or girl or n student living' nt
homo can be reduced. Such calcula
tions have a merit In so far as they
teach discrimination In expenditure
aud aid persons to live within their
means. In so far, however, as they
tend to ludlrse and extend a pinched
standard of living, contends the Trib
une of that city, or tend to give the
impression that the primary aim of so
ciety should bo to realize and bo con
tent with a low standard of living,
they nre not bouellclal. Ilroadly
speaking, civilization consists In the
Increase of production aud consump
tion, both of which Interdependent
processes aro naturally wholesome and
educative. It Is accordingly desirable
that the propely distributed consump
tion of commodities should bo Increas
ed Instead of decreased, provided pro
dilutive capacity bo not overdrawn.
Nothing could bo moro obvious, how
over, than that our productive rapacity
Is not overdrawn to-day. Notwith
standing our enormous excess of ex
ports, It Is still one of our great mis
fortunes that this capacity Is not until
clently engaged. The discussion of
ways for eking out life on the narrow
est possible margin may keep Itself to
wholesome Hues, but It Is nlways In
danger of slipping Into that vicious cir
cle In which want aud Idleness nre both
condoned. It Is the problem of social
statesmanship to-day to employ stead
ily, according to their capacities nnd
needs, tho casually employed, nnd
through the gains thus realized as well
as through n moro equitable distribu
tion than now exists of good things In
general to raise, not lower, tho stand
ard of life among tho less well-to-do.
In any effort to deal with that standard
this fundamental problem should bo
kept In mind. It Is also Important to
rememlKr that wages should never bo
bnsed upon the necessary budget of one
who Is "bonrded at home" without
charge. The person thus subsidized Is
constantly depressing the natural level
of wages, which should never fall to
match all the reasonable living ex
penses of the wage-earner.
The Oilier Ijcly.
Speaking of the misuse of tho word
lady, a story Is told of a poor woman
whose arm had been severely bitten,
and who was lielug cared for by tho
house surgeon of a Ioudon hospital.
As he was dressing tho wound, the sur
geon said: "I can't moke out what
sort of a creature bit you. This Is too
small for a horse's bite, and too largo
for a dog's." "Oh, sir," replied tho
patient, "It wasn't nn atilmul, It was
another lady t" A similar case occurred
not long ago at one of our own hos
pitals. One poor little fellow bad a
badly bruised bend, and the visitor
asked him bow It happened. "Oh." he
explained cheerfully, "tho lady down
stairs came to call ou mother, aud
while they were talking got excited
and threw n pitcher which hit me."
Isn't It about time to either reform or
drop the use of the beautiful Anglo
Saxon word which should moan a wo
mau of refinement?
