TOPICS OF
THE TIMES.
The Eastern question: Who will got
Constantinople If the Turk Is expelled 7
A lint trust Ih projected. Talking
through that article will consequently
be a dearer boon than It Is now.
Why not abrogate the death penalty
for every crime except cigarette smok
Ing? Nature will not permit It In this
case.
Some of the readiest and wittiest
speakers who have appeared In public
life have settled down to making for
tunes. After all, money tnlks,
A number of papers pictured Mrs.
Nation In her bathing suit. Yet they
my that there have been men who tried
at one time to hold Carrie's hand!
If I'orto Itlco Is to bo a part of this
country It wants all tho attachments
that go along, so It has asked Andrew
Carneglo to plcaso forward a library
by Ilrst boat
Thorough mastication Is a new-old
cure for dyspepsia and kindred all
merits. If people chewed their food
more and the air less, this would be an
easier world.
A distinguished doctor says that
women's largo hats aro responsible
for many of the headaches from which
their wearers suffer. This Is true
enough, but It Is no discovery. Every
woman knows It.
A lot of Loudon butchers having been
detected In selling horseflesh for beef,
It may become a question over there
whether all those American mules
bought wcro really Intended for tho
British army In South Africa.
Tho Ilostou Globe, In a column edi
torial, mourns "Tho Tasslng of tho
lobster." West of tho Allcghanles and
north of the Ohio, Instead of "passing,"
tho lobster seems to bo more virulent
and talkatlvo than over. One told us
bow to run a nowspapcr not ten days
ago.
A church economist says that 15,
000,000 Is Invested In this country lu
church steeples. The steeple Is high
art and cannot be spared. It punctu
ates tho landscape. Even were the steo
pies all sawed off and the money scut
abroad, the heathen would contlnuo to
rago aud tho people to Imagine vain
things. Let tho spire alone.
Whllo American dollars aro being so
licited to prcservo historic places lu
foreign countries, It ought not to bo for
gotten that tho timber on tho farm of
Daniel Webster Is about to bo cut down
to bo manufactured Into matches. Mas
sachusetts Is helping to "xavo" tho Eng
lish lake region. Can It Ignoro tho
memory of Us greatest eulogist or Now
Hampshlro forget tho playground of
tier greatest son?
Even looting Iiiih Uh liumorouH side.
A Chinese Hiieak thluf recently entered
an Aiuurlcnn dining ruom lu Shanghai
and abstracted n few teaspoons, n sil
ver syrup Jur aud nu old clock, all of
which ho tucked, Chinese fashion, Into
his clothes. Tho syrup ran down, uud
for a long way tho thtuf'a projrroHH
could lio traced. "Whnt a pity," wan
the phlloHophlcul comment of tho own
er of the nrtlcleM, "that tho clock did
not run down, toot"
Of one of our technical schools It Ih
told that, when tho time caiuo for the
cIiihh of 1001 to bo graduated, only
twelve of Its forty members appeared
lu person to receive their diplomas, Tho
other twcuty-eluht had already been
offered irootl positions uud had gone to
work. Mechanical ciiKlneers and edu
cated superintendents of construction
aro In special demand, of course, lu
prosperous times like these; but In less
busy years It Is no less true that oppor
tunity waits for youth at tho school
houso door.
Tho Czar has acquired a great repu
tation as the peace-loving friend of
man since the great conference at Tho
lluguo. Whllo he deserves full credit
for this, his treatment of Kluluud has
been most despicable. Well might ho
propose disarmament, with one hand
on tho throat of Tolam! and tho other
on that of Finland. Tyrants naturally
like to bo lot alone. How tho Czar
can sympathize with tho Transvaal as
a humanitarian whllo ho Is crushing
the life aud liberties out of Finland and
violating an oath held sacred by all his
predecessors Is certainly not clear.
Hooks that sell by the hundred thou
sand aro not common, yet there uro
tome Instances that tire not modern.
It Is now Just about, two hundred and
forty years since ouo John Huuynu
was shut up In Bedford Jail, lie stayed
there twelve years; but a book of his
went free, aud no man since that day
could have suppressed or Imprisoned
It, even had he wished. Millions of
copies of It havo been printed. Prob
ably more copies aro sold lu nuy one
month, now, than could have been dis
posed of In a year during tho author's
lifetime, aud tho book Is as vital a part
of this twentieth century as It was of
any preceding time. There are excel
lent books among tho "popular novels,"
but spile of all tho adulatory comment
It would be hard to point out one
that seems likely to weather two cen
turies and more as bravely as has "Pil
grim's Progress."
There Is n reverse side to the sent
bianco of luxury expressed by the mlr-
rors, tho gliding, the velvet carpets of
many apartment and boarding houses.
Tho head of the lace department In a
great store recently spent her two
weeks' vacation In a hospital. She
laughed at the Idea of being 111 or even
nervous; but she was tired, and for ten
years had not slept In n real bed. In
one apartment house, In order to keep
her room fitted to receive callers, bIio
slept on a sofa that opened In the mid
dle, and had neither sides nor foot
board. Six out of seven nights tho cov
ers pulled off her feet. At another
place her folding-bed fell on her and
nearly killed her, so she traded It for a
narrow divan, from which pillows and
blankets slipped nightly. At the hos
pital she finally found a bed wide
enough to sleep In crosswise, a bed by
day as well as by night, a bed tuck
able, with a bolster and counterpane;
and she stayed In It for two weeks. In
countless cases tho make-believe bed Is
the symbol of a sham and comfortless
existence for which apartment IJfe Is
largely responsible.
Tho Navy Department Is encounter
ing dllllculty In securing enough sea
men and apprentices to man all Its war
ships. This naturally Is a source of an
noyance and Inconvenience to the naval
officials, for the navy Is growing, and
It Is Impossible even now to put all the
completed warships In commission, be
cause of lack of enough skilled men and
officers to navigate them. Thedlfllcutty,
however, Is not surprising. It Is not
strange that young men should prefer
to be civilians and follow business pur
suits in piping times of peace. The pay
offered to men In the navy Is smaller
than that of employes In the majority
of Industrial ami commercial pursuits.
Tho factory, the farm and the business
olllce are seeking bright young men as
eagerly as the navy Is, and are bidding
higher for them. The country Is pros
perous and can offer good wages to
every able-bodied man who Is willing
to work. If there wero a largo contin
gent of unemployed, the tusk of tho
naval recruiting officer would be, easier.
Ho long as ambitious young men have
so much better prospect of making
their fortunes on land than on tho deck
of, a warship, It Is to be expected Uiat
tho work of recruiting for tho navy will
be slow. If there were prospect of wur
there would soon 1h a rush to enlist,
for tho present reluctance Is not due to
any lack of patriotism or of bravery.
Hut the American youth does not take
kindly to the dull routine life of a
man -of-war In time of peace. He pre
fers to be In tho thick of tho fray at all
times, and Just now the battles nre all
lu tho business world, as are also tho
rewards and promotions.
The safe navigation of the air Is con
fidently Hoken of as ouo of the
achievements which this new century
will witness. At present tho effort of
Inventors aro largely spent on tho de
velopment of some form of dirigible
airship of the nature of u balloon or
sclf-clcvuting and self-supporting gas
bag, with propelling motor and steer
ing apparatus attached. It must be ad
mitted that last year's experiments by
Count Von Zeppelin on Lako Con
stance, and the recent success to bo
ascribed to M. Hautos-Dumout, In spite
of tho mishap which In his voyage
around the Eiffel Tower In Paris
brought his airship to earth when vic
tory was almost within his grasp, aro
evidences of great progress along this
line. It Is In another direction, how
over, that the true solution of tho prob
lem lies, nccordlng ot the opinion of
most eminent physicists. Nature sug
gests that tho truo method will follow
tho model of bird flight, and that tho
successful airship will be lu the nature
of nn neropluuo based on principles
Identically tho sumo us those underly
ing the flight of birds. Experiments lu
this Held uro risky and havo proven
futul to Llllenthal and others but
have already demonstrated that the
aeroplane awaits only the Invention of
some automatic balancing devlco to
render It ouo of the greatest marvels
of human genius. Prof, A. U. Hell, tho
Inventor of the telephone, has said: "I,
do not iK'Hevo that tho great problem
of aerial navigation will ever bo solved
by balloons. While you may successful
ly navigate a balloon In light currents,
It Is obvious that nuy floating body
lighter than air Is at the mercy of the
winds. Such a body cannot carry the
motive machinery of greut power, (t
Is little more than a toy, Tho problem
of aerial navigation will be solved, but
not by the use of bulloous."
Friendly Atlvloo.
