wffr THE NEW AGE, .PORTLAND, OREGON. I TOPICS OF THE TIMES. It U reported thnt Husscll Sago lion become a vegetarian. Kvcntunlly no American town will be "Without u minltarluin. When n wine man knows anything worth telling he keeps It to himself. Hvcn the Czar Is thinking about re forinn; but not till his pcoplo aro In revolt. Give a man half a chance and he 'will tell of a grudge he has against some other man. Women not only want the last word, but they want the last chapter. That Is why they rend the back of the book first. Joseph was not a real captain of In dustry. Ho didn't twlHt tho screw when tho other fcllowH were calling for help. Wo very much doubt tho success of tho reported attempt to form a lobster trust Tho supply Is too largo to be "cornered." If the Hon. James Hogg over be comes Secretary of State, we are contl dent that he will not be referred to as "Little Hreeches." "Ho virtuous and you will bo weal thy," sayM Undo llussell Sage which Is a rather severe reflection on Home mighty good people. A Cleveland preacher has discovered that the recently developed love for sport here In America Is a sign of degeneracy. Down with tho mud dled oafs! MIhs Mary Macl.aue Is nblo to sym pathize to Nome extent with tho man who committed suicide because ho was "tired of the everlasting buttoning aud unbuttoning." The fratricidal tragedy In New York by which one man eminent In letters and one lu athletics died promaturt) deaths was caused by a father's Injus tice. No man should carry his hutreds to his grave. A Kansas editor has decided that when a man meroly has a hook and lino In tho river ou Sunday and Isn't catching anything ho Is not tinning. That may be true, but If ho has a gun ou bis shoulder, and Is merely wander ing around In search of gaino he Is hunting. "Pshaw, you'ro afraid!" "Yes, I ami I'm afraid of being sorry and It's the only thing I'm afraid of lu this world!" It was a scrap of a street conversation, aud tho two girls who spoke were out of sight beforo the words had diet I ou tho air. liut one listener, at least, was stronger for having heard tueui. Years ago a man bearing tho uamo of John Smith had It changed to Gaga dig Ulgadab, which uamo ho selected because It wuh as unllko John Smith as he could possibly get It. Ami now an Englishman, one l'nmllco Pickles, has had his name changed to John Smith. There Is no accounting for -tastes. Tho average American business inau Is like n cat. Throw him up aud he lights on his feet. They tell tho story of a llfo Insurauco agent In Chicago who was taken sick aud curried to a hospital. He employed his leisure hours lu persuading his uurso to tnkd out an Insurance policy and his share of the premium puld his own bill for at tendance. Social lutorcourso would loss fre quently eiiKetulur hard feeling If till would oluervu the rule, which tho Sen ate niloptttl recently; "No Senator In doliate ahull, directly or Indirectly, by any form of words, linputo to another Senator, or to any other Senators, any conduct or tuotlvo unworthy or uuho comltiK a Senator; no Senator In de bate ahull refer offensively to any State of tho Union." TIiIh means simply that tho Senators must behave as h'eutlc men. It Is fair to them to say that most of them observed the rule beforo It wits formally adopted. Tho latest mails or Hrltlsli ICast Af rica designate an arm ot tho great Victoria Nyiuiz.li as Ugowe Hay, Tho origin of tho name was recently told by Sir Henry Stanley. When, twenty oven years ago, he was making a chart of the lake shores, ho eamo upou a spacious bay. Calling to a native on shore, ho asked the name of tho place, After repeated Inquiries came a faint answer which sounded llko "You go way." An attempt of tho Interpreter met with tho same response, aud Stan loy humorously accepted the auswer to mark tho spot. It continues lu the mops us Ugowe. England Is being so rapidly despoil ed of her art treasures by American capital that the curator of one of tho famous collections sounds a note of warning. Tho man who owns a fa mous picture Is lu a certain sense a trustee for Kuglaud, he declares; be fore he sclU the canvas to an Ameri can millionaire he should offer it to tho Hrltlsli nation, or to a local museum, or to "a collector permanently domiciled In Kuglaud," Yet consideration for the "rights" ofCouttuental nations does not Bccmtohavo withheld Englishmen from acquiring the very works of Titian, llnpuael, Velasquez, Yuu Dyko and other masters that are at the bottom of the present pother; and If the argu ment of locality applies In the one In stance, It should apply In the others. The logical truth, however, Is that a great work of art belongs to the world. So long as It 1s properly taken care of and Is made accessible to persons who wish to study It, the place where It Is kept Is only a detail. Moreover, It Is as easy for an Englishman to come over here to see It as It Is for an Ameri can to go to England for the same purpose. A scientific writer In American Medi cine pays a glowing tribute to the hair pin. He finds that It Is of almost In estimable value to the surgeon, who can use It "to pin bandages, to remove foreign bodies from any natural pass age, as a curette for scraping away soft material, to compress u blood vessel In controlling a hemorrhage, and to closo a wound." In addition to thse uses, the gentleman htu used the hairpin to probe wounds mid to wire bones to gether In cases of fracture. Hut It Is not In surgery only that the hairpin Is useful. It may take the place of a suspender button or help out when an automobile breaks down. Perhaps If the truth were known muuy a locomo the has been held together, at a pinch, by n hairpin, and we arc not surprised that the writer for Amcrlcnu Mcdlclno suggests that It would always be well for man to carry a supply of hairpins In his pocket. Such a practice would un doubtedly have Important advantages, but there Is a better and more pleasant plan, If It could be so arranged that a man might always have at least one companionable lady near him the hlgn est usefulness of the hairpin might be developed. Men are, after all, but bunglers when they endeavor to use this delicate Instrument, l'or the best results from the hairpin, therefore, It Is cheerfully recommended that the lady be taken along. More than usual Interest has lately ben directed to the matter of pure food. The action of Germany lu excluding foreign meats on which boric acid has been used Is economically Important becnuse of the large quantity of meats which the United States now ships to that country. These, the American packers say, must be treated with a small quantity of boric acid, or elso bo much more heavllyvsalted. Tho amount of boric acid used Is said by American chemists to bo harmless, aud eminent German chemists have expressed .uo same opinion. To the German govern ment, however, It makes a difference whoso ox Is treated with boric acid. The government prohibits tho use of this preservative In food prepared for homo consumption, yet permits it lu potted meats put up for export, on the theory, apparently, that it is danger ous to tho German stomach, but safe enough for foreigners. Franco takes a similar view lu regard to vegetables, permitting the export without restric tion of canned vegetables colored green by the use of copper, but forbid ding their sale at homo except when the fact of the use of copper and the quantity of it nre stated on tho label. The action of Germany has naturally set the authorities at Washington to thinking about measures of self-protection. The United States Is now the only civilized nation without adequate pure food laws, aud tins therefore become the dumping-ground for mlsbrnnded aud adulterated articles. The Secretary of Agriculture liusjuuthority to forbid the importation of articles of food which are injurious to health, but ho has hitherto hesitated to set up dog matic standards upon points open to controversy. It seems simple enough, however, to decline to recelvt from other countries the things which they will not let their own people eat. Involuntary Htro Humor. Ilobert I&lcson, tho actor, tells tbls story of tho siago; "I've seen and heard a good muuy funny things In tho way of plays und piny actors lu my time, but tho greatest thing I ever saw or heard wits In Milwaukee. This was several mouths ago. It was In ouo of tho museums there. Tho mu seum had it stock company In Its the ater, and Its great specialty was bor der drama. Kvery week they gavo a now drama of the wild ami woolly West. This play that I saw was n blood-eurdlcr of that character, and nt the time I dropped In at the theater the stage was pitch dark aud two men were lighting a duel. I could hear the knives clash together and hear the men stumble around the Mnge, but I could only faintly distinguish the forms of the actorB. After a while there was a thump ou the. tloor, and the villain (I know It was the villain by his accent) hissed; 'Ah, ha I Hudolph Tegherlug ton, I have you now and no one nlglt to see mo do the deed!' Then the drum mer hit the bass drum n belt nud the calcium man turned on the light, and nwny up on a rooky pass n woman (the heroine) was seen standing, 'Cow ardl' she shouted; 'mo und heaven Is hero!"' "lYKtut, C'Ket Mol." Doubtless tU lute LI Hung Chung bad heard of tho famous saying, quoted above, imputed to Louis XIV., "I am tho State." The French king probably never uttered tho sentence. Hut Gen eral James II. Wilson attributes to LI a sentiment quite us devoid of humility. Tho story Is told lu tho Now York Suu. In the negotiations carried on with tho representatives of tho foreign pow-, era while the Chinese court waa In flight, n Western representative asked; "Who Is the Chinees government?" "I am tho Chlncso government," the statesman replied. "Whore nre your credentials!" "I am the Chinese government," re pented LI, "und my character la my credential."
