THE NEW AGE. POBTLAND. OREGON. J TOPICS OF THE TIMES. A Boston HWlrmnor Issues a ctiallpngo for "ft mile dnsh." Wouldn't "a mllo plash" be better? The only chance the Indian lias to avoid a balr cut In to learn to play football or the piano. A Chicago man Hliot Ave times nt IiIr wife, wounding her slightly. He Ii probably a Frencii duelist In disguise. The successful politician must be se rious In public, but that docs not noces mirll'y prevent him laughing nt the pub lic In private. Die roasted peanut has Just found Its way Into London. No wonder some of the London editors are complaining about the slowness of that town. Home of the people of (Jermnny nre apparently Just beginning to realize that Christopher Columbus discovered quite n strip of country over here. A scientist snys the Itocky Mountains arc moving southward, Anyone who has traveled from the north townrd them may well believe the statement. If a young man Is In love with a girl and sin; refuses to marry him It may break his heart; If she does marry him the chances are It will break his pock otbook. Emperor William may conclude to bo his own J. i'lcrpont Morgan and buy up tho German steamship lines to pre vent them from falling Into tho hands of tho American. On tho day that tho steel trust an on need that Its earnings tho past year were $81,000,000 the census bureau Kave It out that this country has n pop ulation of 81,000,000. Carnegie's Intense desire to die poor will not prevent him from defending the tltlo to his $2,000,000 Island off the coast of Georgia which tho sea Isl and cotton king claims to own. Tho ways of the world are changing. certain man kept tab on his children up to cloven. When twins Jumped tho number up to thirteen ho committed suicide. In the days of our forebears the father would simply have gone on calmly keeping tab. The price of $4,500,000 or 55,000,000 which wo are now paying for tho Dan ish Islands In tho West Indies Is a bar gain counter quotation compared with tho price asked for them formerly. Den nark's asking price was $15,000,000 a generation back and Mr. Seward of fered $7,500,000 for them. Apparently the market for Islands Is less active and high than formerly. A couple recently married set an ex cellent example to prospective bride grooms and brides. The money each would have expended for n present to tho other was constituted a fund for tho endowment of a free bed In a bus pltnl. Persons of ample menus, who study to obtain some novelty ns a wed ding gift to husband or wlfo that Is to be, can always llnd opportunities along tho paths of charity to establish a memorial of their own happiness by conferring happiness upon those who puss their days In life's shadow. Tho young woman In Pennsylvania who puts tho value of a broken rib nt $100 was Inllueuced by tho mitigating circumstance that the rib was broken by a young man In an affectionate hug. At tlrst she offered to compromise ou a basis of payment of tho surgeon's bill of $11.50, and when the young man foolishly and uugallautly tore up tho bill, proper feminine pride compelled tier to raise the price. It would a com to uh that $100 may bo regarded as a ridiculously small sum for the pleasure of giving such a hug as would fracture a rib; but, of course, this Is not to Ih fully determined until the lady Is ahown In evidence. And perhaps tho rib hail been broken before. Or possi bly It was not one of tho more Impor tant ribs. All these things must ho taken Into consideration by unbiased legal authorities. Ottiuar Mcrgoutlmlcr was one of the greatest Inventors the world has pro duced. It was his mind that fashioned the linotype machine, now used by ev ery large nowsp.ipcr In the country. lie gave his life largely to the perfect ing or this typesetting machine, which, ns he said, was able to do everything but think, llefore he died, however, he perfected another labor saving device, iv machine that turns nut fruit or berry baskets or boxes from the raw lum ber. With but one employe to tend It It makes as many baskets In an hour as a doKcu of tho must expert hand workers can make. It Is said that ouo -of these machines operating nt ordl narj spec I produces complete straw berry boxes at the rate of I'J.OOO a day, l.'.'OO nu hour, 'M a minute, or one every three seconds, anil then by the simple movement of u lever or two and tho turning of some thumbscrews, the ma chine Is so changed that It can go to work nt making peach baskets, grape baskets, or anything else tho manufac turer may want, the matter of slie be ing but little trouble, as the dimen sions can be Instantly changed by slm pie movements. Modern Invention Is rapidly bringing about the day dream ed of by reformers. It Is not to cotuo by agitation or legislation, but by In- veutlou. Tho multiplication of labor saving machines will make It possible to produce all that the world needs by tho work of a few hours each day, leaving the remainder for cultivation and recreation. In nil directions steadily and surely the world Is getting better. It Is get ting better morally, physically, social ly, Industrially In every direction. Some social developments are tempo rarily discouraging and Rome arc hard to understand but, as In the growth of a child from feeblo Infancy to mature manhood, tho tendency Is constantly to n better state. Mumps, measles and whooping cough correspond to revolu tions, strikes and trust formations In society. Many of the most Important agencies for Improvement are Ignored and misunderstood. The earth-worms that the boy digs up when he goes llsh lug nro absolutely essential to the agri cultural growth of this nation. How many realize the Importance of these little wriggling worms? ilow many people know that the dust In the air gives color to tho sunlight, colors the clouds, makes the fruitful rainfall pos sible? How many have thought of the extraordinary good which comes Into the world because of the universal hntilt of celebrating each person's birthday? When Is your birthday? Has not every single birthday made you nt least for a time a belter man? We may Ignore tho beginning of the New Year, for that Ib a very goueril celebration. No man Ignores his own birthday, the day which begins all of his years on earth. Ami very few hu man beings, Indeed, fall on each re curring birthday to make good reso lutions, determined that they will try to do better. Kvcn n man's apparently nelllsh birthday resolutions are good for all tho people. Ho resolves to suc ceed better that means that ho must work harder and add to the productive ness of tho race. Ho resolves to be temperate, to exorcise self-control, to give up gambling, or In some way to Improve himself every such resolu tion, multiplied by millions, Is good for the wholo race. Of tho 1.-I0O.O00, 000 human beings on tho earth 4.000, 000 on nn average colcbrato their birthdays every day. Kvcry single day 4,000,000 of human beings begin a now year. Kvcry single day thnt great number of peoplo form good resolu tions, and determine to do better than they have done. Nobody can estimate tho power for good on earth of this coustnnt exercise of tho greatest moral force, tho will to do right. Whenever your friend has a birthday, encourago him If ybu can In this noblo human tendency townrd good resolutions. And when your own birthday comes make up your mind that, ns ouo little drop In tl.o ocean of humanity, you wll do what you can to make yourself n bet ter man or woman, more worthy of tho trouble taken by your father and mother, and moro useful to tho other human beings who cling to this little ball of earth with you. Tho Nervous New Yorker. One of tho most marked outward manifestations that tho New Yorker gives of tho high nervous tension under which ho lives Is his habit of talking aloud to himself In tho street. This habit Is one of tho tlrst things thnt ob servers of street life In New York no tice. It Is a form of nervousness that Is duo not only to tho high pressure at which so many Now Yorkers nro kept, but to tho uolso of tho street trallle. When tho rush and rumble of tho streets Is so great that a man "cannot hear himself think," ho speaks bis thoughts aloud. It Is only rarely that a woman Is observed doing this. Some times tho man who Is talking to him self, If ho Is happy, will mumble only phrases and half sentences audibly. If lto Is nngry or deeply concerned he will speak steadily and sometimes make emphatic gestures. Hut nearly all of the men who talk nloud In tho streets have their business affairs uppermost In their minds, and tho word "dollars" Is the one that Is oftcnest heard. Down town, In the lluauclal section, this habit of a largo number of New Yorkers Is particularly noticeable, but ouo may observe It In almost any part of tho town. Paris Is possibly tho only other one of the great cities of the world where the habit Is so noticeable as It Is here. Actors and writers and tho many minor poets of the French capital may be seen declaiming their Hues or verses, unheeding their observers. Now York Kveulug Post. A l)r u-Noi Writ. This story Is told of a Judge who was for some years ou the District bench of North Dakota, says an exchange. On one occasion nn attorney appeared be fore him with a written request that u writ of duces tecum, llnguldus licit, Is sue; and the Judge, after adjusting his glasses and giving the paper a very careful reading, handed It to the clerk with Instructions that the writ Issue, whereupon tho clerk Informed the court that he was not an attorney, and did not understand the nature of tho writ; so the court again took tho paper, bowed lili head, nud apparently went off Into tho far laud of study, nud after some moments had clasped arose and addressed the clerk as follows: "Mr. Clerk, you will Issue a writ that wll piny tho deuco generally, nud take 'em In golu' and comln', sick or well."
