TEDC lOCW AGE. PORTIiAND. OREGON. TOHIVS Uh ) 7tf 7YW.ES. Any one cnn lie the foolish half of a genius. Mr. Hockofeller snys tluit riches mny Jwttl to himvun. So may tlio eyo of n jit'odlu after you oiiou get through. It Is hard to Imagine anything more contemptible than the man who howls when he Is beaten at his own game. The new Trlnec of Wales Is prob ably waiting to get his titles on straight before beginning upon the duty of set ting the fashion for men. .Mrs. ltoosovelt may bo able to dress on $.'.00 tt year, but women who have not the title of first lady of the land to back them may not feel they can afford to do It. A Chicago woman saved her hus band's life with a broomstick; this, however, Is not the traditional purpose to which this humble domestic Imple ment Is put. Hither WW children were named af ter Mark Ilnmiii In the last four years or MX) parents have considered him easy. At least that number of persons have written. Frank .lames frankly admits that ho cannot act. However, elevating thu stage ought to come rather natural to one who has had such ripe experience In holding up trains. A celebrated preacher has made the announcement that the world Is better than It used to be. Well, ho may bo right, riaylng euchre and drive whist for prizes seems to have gone out of style. Mine. Sarah (irand claims that the -way to approach man and subdue him Is by the dinner route, notwithstanding the admitted fact that most of the pub lic men of thu country dio of stomach trouble. Deportation and permanent banish ment would, perhaps, come nearer tlio popular conception of thu punishment which ought to be Intllcted upon thosu who conspire against thu government by propaganda and who advocate Its overthrow. Some of thu war veterans who tasted blood In Cuba or thu Philippines think thu sword should lie abandoned, as It gets between thu legs and trips thu generals up. There Is nothing so de moralizing to the morale of an army as to seeo n fat guneral tuku a header over his sword. , Kvldently the higher cultivation Is In need of somu polishing up. A lot of cows were lately shot by n party of New York hunters under the Impression that they wetu a herd of deer. In vlow of this and thu many casualties of thu Maine hunting tlfhls natural history ought to be Insisted on as a necessary branch In the schools. One of the latest 1'ndn, a corollary of ralutlstry, Is the "rending" of the soles of the feet. People who aru credulous enough to Imve their foot read tiro usually disappointed In results beeausu they are of that long-eared variety of the human species that are more likely to present hoofs than soles to the palm ist and the lines In hoofs aro somewhat obscured. The crying need of thesu peo ple Is u blacksmith rather than a palm .smith. Genius for government and genius for business aru not even distantly related, Take the I'ulted States for example. Washington was it successful business man, but he might be called the llrst nud the last of American statesemeu who deserved the title. Nearly all the other bright names In the history of American government, from .Jefferson to McKlnley, have been possessed by men, who, If they were not slothful In business, were by no means success ful. There Is a certain gratilleatloii and Httlsfncltoii In the knowledge- (hat Krauee has in proxpeet the establish ment of a M'hool In tills country for (he purpoM of studying American in dustries. To be recognized ns the lead lug Industrial nation of the world Is a compliment, however well we may al ready know tills to be true. France an nounces that It is not her purpose to pry Into the xecrets of the various In dustries, but merely to round out the education of her Industrial students with a practical knowledge of Ameri can methods and cnlcrprlM The court physician who has King Kdwnrd's health In charge gave expres sion to views full of good mmiso in a re cent Interview. Summing up (he rules of correct living he said: "To live long do anything you UU', but do nothing to excess. The best rule of life Is modera tion." Moderation conserves the life forces, Intemperance dUslpntes them, And temperance, be It remembered. Is it much wider term than Is contemplat ed lu abstinence from the excessive use of Intoxicating Illinois. Many a tem perance advocate Is Intemperate In business, or in eating or In speech. Many u man who does not drink to ex cess leads an unnatural life because of the demands of business, or of society, or of ambition, Many a woman who abhors Intoxicants strains every nerve center to "keep tip appearances." Hut this court physician was not giving nway any professional secivts. Any puyslclau who has 111111.0 u HtuUy of the himinn system will freely ngrco tin to this recipe of moderation. Habit Is ntrongcr than advico and habit leads most persons to live unnaturally. Na ture stands up under the strain so long and then rebels. "They thnt nre whole need not a physician," but the average man will not live n wholesome life. Therefore the doctor. "Ah the twig Is bent the tree's In clined," 1h n proverb which tlmo has not discredited. Modern pedagogy con cerns Itself more and more with the enreful training of the twig. Thu value of early habit In play, work, associa tion and conduct Is acknowledged everywhere. This Is, wc arc often told, the era of the young: children receive every advantage, youth Is barred from no opportunity. Oreat enterprises are lu the hands of young men; young wom en mold lu the schools tho citizens of the future, serve great charities, or step forth from n sheltered life to share the labors of the world. Fitting ly this young country sweeps forward toward Its destiny, bornu on nn Impetu ous wnvo of youth. Hut what of ago? What of the ancient tree, no longer supple, Its twisted trunk hardened Into shape, broken, storm-rent, yet vener able? To the understanding eyo It Is more Interesting, more beautiful than thu fresli and llexlle sapling. Hut do the eyes of our triumphant young folk see and understand? Too frequently they do not. Our young people often fall sadly In reverence for nge; often, too, they reverence yet shun It. With the marvelous rapidly of progress, re quiring an unprecedented adaptability of mind nnd habit to material and intel lectual changes, has come Increased Im patience of the conservatism nnd men tal rigidity natural to age. It Is a re gretttible mistake and one not at all to the credit of Intelligent young people. The tree full grown cannot bend. At It grew, so It stands. Only fret, failure and Injury can result from trying to effect a change. Nevertheless comfort, counsel, and that wisdom, which Is higher than mere knowledge aro found In seeking thu cool traniiullllty of Its shade. To the man who has not dallied with Orooke's tubes and does not know nn X-ray from an ampere thu work of ex tracting sunbeams from cucumbers would seem to be n mere kindergarten game compared to getting light from decayed meat. And yet this npparently Impossible trick has been performed by Irof. Oorham of Hrown University. Instead of trying to extract light from old shoes or cigar stumps or sawdust, as most any ordinary scientist would. Prof (lorhani tackled the -decayed por terhouse steak. In Its undisturbed state tho passe porterliouso lins never emit ted anything but odor; under the magic wand of the professor It will emit enough light to run a photograph gal lery. Tho phosphorescence of llrellles, or decaying llsh ami vegetable inntter, which gives a glow to summer seas, has long been known to science. The phos phorescence of these minute animal and vegetable organisms Is produced by oxi dation, the same as the heat of em bodies. This oxidation, of course, Is a chemical action. Starting with this knowledge as a basis, Prof. Gorlmin be gait experimenting to find thu materi als that would produce tho greatest luminosity In these decaying organ isms, He has at last founfl three chem ical salts which when applied to decay ing meat will produce enough phos phorescent light to take photographs. The object of the experiments Is to llnally produce a light that Is entirely devoid of heat. In these days when the servant girl problem tills the culin ary department of the average homo with doubt and uncertainty, almost any refrigerator may contain a complete phosphorescent light plant. A bottle of the professor's salts would thus make any well-regulated home Independent of the gas trust. Hereafter the family need not hold Its nose as the odor of the decaying feline Is wafted from un der the porch. Let the dead cat bo dragged forth, suspended from thu porch celling and made to glow In phos. phorescent beauty. This Is an nge of science, when even the decayed things of life niay. radiate light and beauty In stead of smelling to high heaven. A I'eoullur Accident. A ocullur accident occurred lu a Western town recently. The big Iron safe In a sheefactory refused to open. and the bookkeeper and engineer con ceiveu uio men mat iney couui nurii om the combination by use of carbon and electricity. It look several hours to accomplish their purpose, but they llnally succeeded, but not until they had stood for several hours lu the glare of the electric light taking turns at hold ing tho wire and carbon. When the wor! was over both complained of a dizziness and pain In the head which Increased as the hours passed, ami lu a short time both went suddenly blind at about the same time. All elt'orts to restore their sight have been unavall lug. for while the eyeballs appear all right, tho sight Is destroyed. An i:trjuifdlnnry Cliuroli. One of the most curious churches In tho world exists In l.no Vlncente, Ma derla, being cut out of a large boulder on the shore. All the work of excava tion was carried out by the natives with meat labor, and the church Is excep tionally unlet, nnd perhaps uuhiue. Tlio Water Uotitiuuit, The Insect known us tho water boat man has a regular pair of oars, his legs being used as such. He swims on his back, as 111 that position there Is less resistance to his progress. When a man goes homo and tluds tho house locked, ho has no desire to sit In the comfortable rocker ou th porcU.
