THE NEW AGKEi PORTLAND, OBEGON. J TOPICS OF I THE TIMES. It lm lonj? lnon known tlmt llic ImckiifliL' mlvroliu lurked In the earnest that i'ic(!(lc(l beating. The only man who can MiccoHsftilly nit on the fellow who linn Ihmjuu to rock the rowhoat iih ii Joke, Is the cor nier. When Emperor William i?etH weary of a diet he HliutH It off. Thin 1h where William 1mh a bltf iulvuiit:to over peo ple who hoard.

Hoekofellcr'n advlco to the young men about giving away money would have been appreciated a great deal more If ho had given them a tip on what Htocku to buy to get the money. There arc now threo clnnncs of peo ple. TIioho who do not know that they have HtomacliH, thoHe who feel an If there wuh not much elno to their In ternal machinery, and thoHc who have had them cut out. It Ih Improhahlu that the great Amer ican novel will ever come to pan un Ichh the uovcllHt Ih thoroughly prepared for IiIh work, and thin can only happen through hIow develotuneut, not the forclng-houHo proceHH of quickly achieved fame. When the dearth of great American riovelH Ih iIIhcumuhI let this be noted. It Is a serloiiH fact that spelling Is too lightly regarded In the public-school system of to-day and the result Is a crop of graduates who are decidedly dellclent in this branch. How serloim tills defect Is may he Judged from the fact that the tlmu of students at Co lumbia Is to be devoted to spelling In stead of the higher branches they are supposedly lltted to undertake. Tlmo would not he thus spent unions It was deemed ncccHsary. And It would not be necessary If primary educational methods were less of fad and more matter of fact. Whether or not a college education la advantageous depends entirely upon the ability of the recipient to absorb and utilize such an education. Unfor tunately such n view of the case Is sel dom considered by parents and guard ians who are Inclined to Head their chil dren to college simply hecauso It Is con sidered the proper thing to do. Conse quently we llnd throughout the coun try thousands of young men who have passed through college acting as cheap clerks ir bookkeepers or even as car conductors and restaurant waiters. Having learned no mechanical trade, for which they may be well adapted, and being untitled by nature for a pro fession, they go through life discon tented with their lot and vaguely be lieving that the world owes tliein bet ter treatment because they have gono through college. A feature of a recent number of Hue cesH Ih an article on the early struggles of the members of President McKln ley's cabinet. The history Ih the IiIh tory of eight poor boys. None of them ute the bread of UIIciichh, all of them struggled upward through tlltllcultles. The sketches of the lives of these men are Illustrated by drawings showing John Hay as clerk to President Lincoln In the very room of the White House where he now sits iih premier; Kllhu Hoot, at IH, teaching a class In the Home, New York, lu'iidemy; John V. (Irlggs, iih a law clerk In I'aterson, N. J.; Ethan Allen Hitchcock as clerk In the Hong Konk store of Olyphant Ac Co.; Lyman J, Huge, at 15, as u be ginner In n bank In Home, N. Y.; Charles Emory Hmlth as a compositor In the otllee of the Albany (N. Y.) Knickerbocker; John I), Long as a chore boy on a farm In HuckHtleld, Me., nnd James Wilson, at "I, working as it farm hand In Iowa. One Ih again re minded of (larlleld's eloquent comment upon our society, which, he said, In substance, was not like the strata of the earth, layer upon layer, each hold ing the other down, its In Europe; but wits like the yielding waves of the sea, so that It was possible for the lowest drop to rise until It glittered like a Jewel on the topmost wave. A riilhuloliililu woman Iiiih llvcil with lar live children an entire your, enjoy. Inn every luxiiry without imylnjr. u cent for the Ditiue. .She rented two line real deneeii, eueh tu mi urUtocrntlc neigh borhood, tilled them with up-to-date furniture, eoxtly pulutltiKx nnd hrle-n-lirae, provided her family with eomly clothing and JtnveU and mippllcd her table HUiuptuomdy, She had expensive eiiulpiKt'H In the triable and maintain. ed koU ntyle throtiKhout. For Hoveral inoutliH she tiucceeded In hypuotlcliiK her eredltorn. When llnnlly the furni ture was levied upon and taken away from one of the houses, she moved to the other, changed her name and re pented the operation upon other ered ltorn. Tho American Is authority for the statement that thin adventurer lived In luxury for a year, and during this time paid no bills, her creditors permitting her to disappear, Of course niich elaborate swindling lit only poa tdble In a largo city, and the perform ance must be accomplished by a past master, or past mltre, of "dead beat Inu'," yet, there are persons In all cities .Who live lurt;cly by their wlta uud an ability to swindle tradesmen out of their money. Economics take little ac count of the coftt to society of "dead beats," but the business world knows that a, goodly shard of the capital of society Ih lost'ln maintaining this class of persons. The profit and loss columns of the ledgers tell the story, It's quite common to hear a man say that he Is "hungry'ns a bear" until he sits down at table, and that then he Is unable to eat. It Is even more common to hear a woman say that she cannot relish things that she has cooked her self, and especially that she cannot cook a meal for herself when she Ih alone In the house and get any pleasure or profit out of eating It. The scientific sharps have discovered a reason for this, and, even though to solve the problem It was necessary to dissect a few live dogs, the results are Interest ing. The doctors discovered that when food was placed before a hungry dog, the blood rushed to the stomach, caus ing the walls to blush a vivid pink. It was the blood of the system rushing to the stomnch to be ready to aid In the work of digestion as soc:i as the ex pected food should arrive. The actual sight of food Is not the only thing that will cause the stomach-blush. Any thing that suggests food to a hungry creature has that effect. For this rea son a neat table, attractively prepared viands and bright, cheerful surround ings Intensify the blush, and It Is that blush or, rather, the blood that causes It that gives the good appetite tlrst and good digestion afterward. When a man has been hungry for hours and has thought of food the thought alone lins caused the stomach-blush. The blood has waited In vain for the ex pected food and lias dually departed. dlsnppolutcd. That Is why, when food Ih actually ready there Is no appetite for It. The blush 1ms faded. A woman, cooking a meal or preparing one for herself, Is deprived of that sudden an ticipation which comes upon other diners as they approach a table all prepared for a meal. With the woman, the repast has been slowly brought to gether, and any cheering stomach blush of anticipation Is Impossible, be cause the mind Is not affected as It would he If every dish and Its Ingredi ents wero not known In advance. It Is a good thing to remember that any thing that tempts the sense of ,Hlgh or smell adds to the Intensity of the stomach-blush, and Just to that degree adds to relish and good digestion. Hoc rako and a vivid blush would taste bet ter and do more good than quail on toast without a blush. Ilrokon on tho Whool. In tho diary of that remarkable man, General Patrick Gordon, who left Scotland In KIM n poor, unfriended wanderer, and when he died, In 101)0, had his eyes closed by tho affectionate hands of his sorrowing master, the Gzar l'oter tho Great, tho following entry Is to be found, under ditto Ham burg, March ', 1(180: "Tills day, a man nnd woman, n burger of tho lower towue, being the womaus master, for murthering, were carted from tho jirlsone to the house where the murder wits committed; and there, before this house, with liottt plusers, the flesh was torreu out of their nrmes, and from thence were carted to tho place of Justice without the towue, nnd there broken and Inyed on wheeles." An Instance llfty years later than those quoted at tho last reference U recorded In tho "Correspondence of Mr. Joseph Jckyll." (Murray, 1801.) In April, 1775, from the balcony of lib1 lodgings nt Orleans. JeUyll saw a crim inal broken on the wheel. In a let ter to his father (p. Ill) ho enter minutely Into the sickening details, adding that "the crime of tho unfor tunate creature was burglary, as we learnt from his sentence, which It posted up at every corner of the streets."

When a member of the royal famllj of (Ireat llritaln comes to dinner It Is a point of otlciuotte to provide none but the Illustrious guest with u tltmer how) at the enil of the banquet. The otlioi diners must get ou somehow without that convenience. The reason Is n curious one. lu early (JeortfJnn dny one never knew who was loyal; every other man might be a Jacobite lu hie secret heart. Now, It was n piece of Jacobite ritual whenever the toast ot "Tho King" was drunk secretly to pirn the goblet over any water that hap pencil to be by the drinker; this was supposed to convert the totut Into that of "The King Over the Water," the ex iled Stuart at Home or St. (icrmalns.
