'$$B$SB''" tfHJfl .aim AGE, POttTIiAJCTD, OSBGON, TOPICS OF J THE TIMES. LlinlnirRcr cured In ttcrnuuiy certain y linn n rclnpse coming over. There Is more tlinn one way to Hhuf flo olT thin mortal coll. That'B why doc tors often dlHagree. When a woman forgives a hIh It In for the future pleasure hIio will havo In reminding the sinner of It. One of the great problems of modern politics Is how shall business men bu Interested In municipal affairs. Most men regard It as more humiliat ing never to have shot a deer than to be Ignorant of Greek and Latin. The powers all seem to bo for the In tegrity of Oliltin. The Integrity of tho powers Individually Is under suspicion. Sometimes we are almost compelled to.thluk that Kdltor Stead's worry over the affairs of the universe Is unneces ary. Mlns Stone Is going to write a book and lecture. Now let tho people who refused to contribute to thu nuisom fund squirm. It In reported that Agultialdo Is an expert checker player. Hut hu failed to reach the king row In tho rebellion game, notwithstanding. It Is nice to learn that "Ideal mar riage conditions" exist In Franco. ly tho way. what are "Ideal marriage con ditions?" No questions asked? Colorado Is to exhibit a plaster model 200 by .100 feet of a modern Irrigated farm. Irrigation Is going to play a Tery Important part In future history. It Is found that molasses, which Is plentiful and cheap, gives the Louisi ana mule additional energy. (Jitro Is doubtless taken that ho shall not let It get Into his heels. It Is reported that tho King of Nor way and Sweden has two crowns and has tho privilege of performing at two coronations. Tho Important question, however, Is does ho receive two sala ries? Mr. Kltzslinnions, the prize lighter, ays ho would bo willing to havo him Keif elected a member of tho United Htatoa Senate. With Messrs. Kltzslin nions and Tillman sitting as members of tho highest legislative body In our Inud It ought to bu possible o maku tho gate receipts go a long way toward applying thu running expenses of thu government. J. IMerpont Morcim Ims no secrets. Ho Is so frank aliont kIvIiik out de tails that any one after readliiK Ids printed directions should he aide to form a trust. Mr. MorKan In not self ish, lie does not caro If every man, woman and child In thu country orKiiu Ires from two to oljrlit trusts a day; be Is coutldeiit that he will still ho ahln to Kruh iiIoiik and make a living. The death of lluv. T. Dowltt TiiImuku excites an Immediate personal Interest moiiK thousands, prohahly wo could truthfully say millions of people. Tho great taheruacles with which his name was associated kyo him hut a small fraction of' his following His sermons published In the newspaper press had circulation and a list of readers which hnmed tho success of tho largest sell taiK novel, Tho readers could ho found all over tho country, In city and village and upon tho most remote farms. They were, of tho constant kind, tew, never uiIhsIiir the now chapter, while many of them hoarded the old ones. No preacher of Ids time, If wo except llctvliur In his palmiest years, hail such a hold upon the puhllc, and It follows b a matter of course that ho must have had exceptional powers to attain to audi Influence. To his fame as a writer of sermons ho added that of a popular lecturer, hut with all his success on tho platform and In the pulpit there were not n few auditors whom he dls tlnctly repelled by his extraviiKauces of manner, And though Ids Hrooklyn church In particular jjnvo sIkuiU proofs of Its devotion to him, the finest tribute ho ever received was In the loyalty of bin larKcr reading public. After several years of study rioctont are agreed that tho vermiform appen dix, which Is located at tho end of one of the human canals, has no ohJet;t to aervo In a man's body. It Is a useless growth, they declare, and all bodies would be better off without Its presence. At ouo time It mlht have served a pur pose, hut whatever function It perform ed Is not now In evidence. While thus discoursing, docs not the thought come to mlud that some, men, jc, and some women, In this world are apparently as useless to the body politic us tho verml form appendix Is to the human system You moot them now and then, perhaps every day, There are of this number aomo who have much money, some who are In quite moderate circumstances, and others who are (toor. The society woman who thinks of ntiujjlit else, the man content to lead a humdrum life without making any effort to Improve Ills condition or to better the condition of thotio who are dekndeut upon him. and the loafer who will not work nil thevo are In tho same class; they add nothing to this life's brightness or to Its progrcsslvencNs, They are dead timber, Take a step forward every day; even if , you lose ground at times, forge ahead galu and make yourself of souio ue in Don't be a vermiform ap- There Is on Impression abroad that In this new era of Industrial consolidation young men have a much diminished op portunity to rise to positions of emi nence. It Is argued that thu number of "Jobs" where men can bu Independent and make their own fortune is steadily decreasing, In spite of the growth of our manufactures and commerce. Dr. Albert Shnw, editor of the Uevlew of Itevlews, In a university address before a line audience of young men at Chi cago undertook to itfiow that theso ap prehensions are exaggerated. He de nied outright that money Is more than man in the modern world of business; the rovcrse he iisserted to be the case. A generation ago. when a man could get 10 per cent on tils money In safe Investments, n fortuno of $50,000 would yield Its possessor a comfortable In come, sulllcleut to ennble htm to live without effort If he chose. Now that tho Interest rate Is cut In two, that same man, If he desires to maintain the same standard of living, must either have twlcu $."0,000 or ho must put his own efforts with his capital, to keep up his Income: and this process Is constantly going on so that tho ratio of a man to a dollar Is growing every year, provided always that tho man Is n trained man. Unskilled and unspeclallzed labor stands a poor chance in tho present competition. It Is true that If the com ing era of centralized production and distribution tho proportion of men on salaries will Increase, but the salaries will also Increase In proportion as the worth of a trained mnn, who can do some one thing that nobody' else can do so well, grows with tho Increasing ex actions of business. Dr. Shaw does not regard this Increase of the salaried class as a misfortune to American man hood, but rather the reverse; for, other things being equal, that mnn has the largest opportunity for personal devel opment and public service whoso living comes to lilm without anxiety on his part, through thu faithful performance of duties to which hu has been trained lea v.lng some of his time. mid some of his energies free to think of other things than money and to seek sonic of the higher ends of life to which money getting Is unquestionably an obstacle. At the very moment while the United StateA Is seriously considering the en actment of legislation restricting Im migration, Canada Is making tho most energetic efforts In her history to at tract new settlers. She Is at work not only In Kurnpc, but In this country. Il lustrating the success which her agents are meetlug.vlt Is asserted that In the fiscal year which ended on the 30th of April last no less than 18,000 persons from tho Middle and Western States of tho Union took up land In Manitoba and the territories embracing the provis ional provinces of Assluobola, Sas katchewan and Alberta. Concerning Manitoba the general reader In this country Is well posted, but what docs he know about tho provisional prov inces'? Assltilbola lies north of North' Dakota and eastern Montana and has an area of lK),:it() stiuaro miles. Al berta comprises 100,000 square miles, nud lies north of western Montana. Sas katchewan Is north of Asslnlboln. Its area Is 111,000 square miles. The mer cury goes pretty low In theso regions In the winter season, but there Is little snow, while the air Is dry and tho sky Is generally bright, so that cold Is felt less there than whero a humid atmos phere prevails. There aro frequent vis its of nulling weather heralded by the Chinook wind, and except during Jan uary and February tho climate Is not severer than In the region of tho great lakes. Once all this country was sup posed to be doomed forever totliOBtntus of a wilderness dotted with trading posts of the Hudson Hay Company. Now It Is recognized as available for the production of No. 1 hard wheat, In crops ranging from thirty to sixty bush els to the acre. When Cntiadu conies Into the Union this great region will be well settled with prosperous farm ers. It scorns to be a far bettor coun try In many respects than that toward the east. During the past half cen tury there has been a steady stream of Immigration to tho United States from Kasteru Canada. The peoplo whom It brought hero have bettered their condi tion, ami have never evinced a desire to go back, It Is significant of tho super iority of the Canadian territory further west that It Is able to attract settlers from the United Stutes, Iter Hrothrr.
