THE NTjW AGKE, POKTIiAJND. OREGON. TOPICS OF ) THE TIMES. Every Renins nooils n innnnKcr, nnd his wife Ih seldom fitted for the Job. MUtloiialrcf) arc common tlicse daj-H. 1'ho Now York World given n lint of 4, 000. There nre a number of Presidential boo in h on the market tlint nru not worth traveling expeiiHCH. Tocy Chamberlalii Inttnintcs very rk-arly that It Is not the German vote liu Ih trying to catch. By carrying u Marconi mast the po lar explorer will be able to wireless home for a relief expedition. It Ih adding Insult to Injury to tell a bald-headed man that ho Is the victim of plKiuctophaKUH, but science nays so. There Ih an alleged druggist trust to keep medicines up. It lius sometimes been rather dllllcult to keep them down. If a man doesn't look frightened when his wife Informs him that ho talks In his sleep she can trust him Im plicitly. Italy'H commercial Invasion of Amer ica, now that we think of It, may bo reckoned ninoinr. the successful affairs of that kind. A woman may be a friend to n man nlio hiiH never loved, but she will al ways be an enemy of the man she has loved In vain. The trade reviews estimate that tho cont of living has Increased during the pnHt five years 40 per cent. However, most of us arc yet alive. A Chicago man has Invented a street cur telephone which enables a busi ness man to keep within call of worry and tho typewriter lady at all times. Laureate Austin has written some of bin Justly celebrated Jingles urging tho Eaglo and tho Lion to get closer to gether. He tried 'em on tho Knglo this tiuio. Dr. J. P. Wood of Coffey vllle, Kansas, who Is a hundred yours old, cuudldly admits that his longevity la due to tho fact thnt he bus not taken much of bis own medicine. Kull ninny n gem of purest ray se rcno tho dark, uufathotued caves of ocean bear, becnuso no giant sort of dredge machine has yet been dipped by l'lcrpont Morgan there. Tho richest uinu of tho Vnnderbllt family pays tuxes on $000,000 worth of porsonul property. It looks as If tho Itev. Dr. Nichols had put sonio pretty cheap people In his list. A public otllco holder In Chicago has refused to accept his salary for live mouths because ho was away during that time. Other public otllco holders will now regard hi in with suspicion or pity or both. It Is noted by a Minnesota paper that Mr, CioufsgulTskl went out In the country to get a wife, but that "fur Home unaccountable reason ho returned without her" The reason was proba bly concealed somewhere In tho rec tangles of the name. Bancroft, ltlulno and Hay have been tho orators selected by Congress to de liver tho olllchit eulogies over the three martyred Presidents respectively, Lin coin, (lurllcld and McKIulcy. Let us hope that this group of American o ra tions, great as they are, will never be extended. Mr. Ctirnegle, who began life as a poor boy and who Is now called upon to bewail an Income of something like fAOOO.000 a year, Is certainly woll fiuallllcd to testify to tho value of money. It follows that when he gives It as his Judgment that there Is noth ing In riches beyond having a compe tence this opinion ought to be accepted us being In the nature of expert testi mony. It will be noted that your sliuon pure, blowu-lu-the-bottle philosopher on the question of riches Is tho man who lias a great deal more wealth than ho knows what to do with. The author of an address to Califor nia fruit-growers on birds In their re lation to agriculture and horticulture lectured that a barn-owl will kill more ruts and mice than ten cuts, It Is pleasant to have the ability of our an cient and blinking friend set forth. When he steps out of literature utul ac tively engages In nti Important work of destruction, he loses some of the ulr of reserved wisdom, and his 'solemn dignity Is less obvious; but It Is well to have the fact Illustrated that the contemplative life may have an In tensely practical side when occasion demands, The moping owl complain ing to the moon Is ull well enough, but ho Is more useful when he ceases to mope and complain. Moreover, there Are mice enough to go round, ami there Is work still left for the cats. After electricity uud Inventive genius have dom their best to supply auto matic signaling devices the safety of rullway travel depends upon the man In the switch tower. Tho engineer may be ever so watchful uud faithful utul (he signal devices ever so Ingeni ous uud eltkietit. but If tho man who operates tho switches nnd slgnnla makes a mistake a disaster of soino sort Is Inevitable. This Is the consen sus of opinion of the men who bundle the switches and signals on the big railroads centering In Chicago, as as certained through Interviews. All agree thnt double-tracked roads equipped with block signals present the great est Immunity from accidents and col lisions. There Ih no disposition on tho part of switchmen to depreciate the value of automatic devices or to dis credit their good work In averting ac cident. In fact It Is pointed out that all of the recent railway disasters can be traced to carelessness on the part of some railroad man, Hut after all mechanical safeguards' have been pro vided the safety of travel rests ulti mately with the employes who manip ulate signals and switches and execute train orders. Attention Is called by the Chicago Ilecord-IIerald to the fact that about 0,000 engines nnd trains must pass th' signal tower near the tunnel under the Lake Shore at Clark nnd Kith streets every twenty-four hours, and vet f-o carefully are tho switches and signals handled thnt there has not been a serious accident at this point since track lowering was completed four years ago. Tho de mand Is, therefore, for safe men as well as safety signaling devices. The man In the signal tower should bo clear-brained, clear-sighted, alert, watchful and faithful. Men who are considered for these positions should be subjected to rigid mental and phy sical examination. They should then be required to work reasonable hours and should be given the rest that Ih necessary to Insure the highest elll clency. There may be cynical persons upon whom Mr. Carnegie's buoyancy of spirits and optimism will act like black bile. And if such there be they will say that It Is easy to bo cheerful with an Income of millions n year, and that laughing while others work Is an em ployment that would not bo ungrateful to most men. But to laugh during one's work, as Mr, Carnegie advises, Is cer tainly much better than to weep or to grumble. A sunny temper helps In tho Immediate task; It helps to preferment. If It Ih combined with Industry and fair ability It counts for good work and for success every moment Its lullu cuco Ih always beuellclul, and tho cir cumstances of the rich Ironmaster do not affect the soundness of his doc trine. Hleh and poor should subscrlbo to that doctrine with equal heartiness and recognize that the way toward which this Joyous tencher points Is the way of health, strength nnd hupplness. At tho same tlmo It might bo urged that he should hnvo been a little more definite when ho came to tho question of a competence. While wo are nil ugreed that superfluous wealth Is su perlluous, there must bo n considerable variety of opinion as to tho exuet sum tliut sholild be laid aside for the rainy day nnd the days of life's decline. Mr. Carnegie lets In Just u glimmer of light on his personal convictions con cerning the subject when ho says that he himself Is loaded with somewhat more than a competence, But wo should like a more accurate weighing of tho load. The modest word "some what" suggests that perhaps It was only thd last million that nuulo Itself felt as a burden. Vet It Is possible that the strain began with the lust ten million or tho second hundred million. In any case, a competence can hardly mean the same thing to lilm that It does to the day laborer, and though ho advises well It Is doubtful If ho would bo content with the smaller compe tence which ho approves. There Is tho castlo In Scotland which ho would have to resign, uud those frequent and pleasant trips abroad. They are not strictly necessary, ami yet when ouo hud formed the hublt of castles and long Journeys some pent-up suburb of small homes In the vicinity of Pitts burg might leave something to be de sired. But a competence that bus been won through years of toll with tho help of u wife who has been a good manager sometimes goes no fur ther than tho humblest of homes and the slenderest of Incomes, and It hap pens occasionally that the hardest of struggles does not bring even such a competence. The promlso Is never cer tain, and yet In spite of ull this there Is wisdom In Mr. Carnegie's philoso phy. Laughter Is u tonic, worry Is n poison. No sentence of the Scriptures conveys n more wholesome lesson than the Injunction: "I'ret not thyself; It tendeth only to evil." Johnny on tho UlrafTo.

There was a man oneo that trained a giraffe to pick peaches from the top of tho tree. He kept It from eating them by putting a rlns around Its neck so It could not swallow.
