v 7? ' l r7?--rir v k 5 TOPICS OF Every man Iimr Ills generally loo high. price, nnd It Is The man who Is afraid o earn more (hau lie kuIh never rises very high. The poet Is born iiiiIuhm he writer a mnguzlno poem that nobody can under utand; tlien he Is made. It Is nlways well to remember that the extinct volcano, like the reposing wasp, will bear watching. Fortunate Is the man who thinks he has married an angel If she only turns out to be a good cook Instead, Tho professors know why volcanoes operate nnd how, but unfortunately they don't know when until It Is too late. Life In a tornado country hns Its dis advantages, but It Is many times pref erable to life In the vicinity of an ac tive volcano. It cannot be denied that Mr. Carnegie In making a pretty fair stagger at do lug something to bring about an eiitiiil distribution of wealth. Joe Jefferson refused to be kissed by a gang of female admirers. The old man knows that the hussers are the hoodooes of any man's fame. Andrew ('arnegle wants to pay !'.!), 000,000 for the Independence of the Fili pinos. .Mr. Carnegie, unlike a lot of other people, has the price of his con victions. Hetty (Ireen carries a revolver, but this Is a needless precaution. Iji order to Insure herself against an attack from any man It would only be necessary for her to wear a placard with her name on It. Young Alfonso begins his relgu with n treasury almost empty, but If he can Dell a few mure lusurnctlous at tf-0, 000,000 apiece he ought to be able to meet current expenses and perhaps lay up something against a rainy day. A New York paper calls attention to the fact that It Is felony to stamp a piece of lead a nickel or a quai'ier, while It Is not a crime to stamp white earn! as sugar. This Is perhaps liocuiii' the crime in each case consists In being found out. --- . "To keel) l J'utir KrenchV" repented the old teacher, whose favorite pupil was lamenting that, since graduation, she found no time to study. "Well, to read ten minutes a day Is not much but ten minutes every day Is much." The .rouble with those of us who ac complish little is that we dwell upon "ten minutes" Instead of emphasizing "every day." "What does the university require of Its president'" liiiuires a writer In n current magazine. Well, the recent weight of opinion seems to be that ho ought to be a combination of the church deblmlser, tho gold brick operator and the moral philosopher. Ah raieh men are rather rare, some col leges have had to be content with ex eeutlves who are strong on tho two tirrit-named iuallllcatlous, but a little unky on the third, Auction-room rivalries do not always end so pleasantly or with such credit to both parties as did the tecent sale In Now York, the seiiiel to which Is that the Metropolitan Art .Museum becomes the owner of Ituheus' painting of "Tho Holy Family," which Is said to he the most notable painting ever offered at a public sale. Two men bid for It. Due, who desired to present the picture to tho Metropolitan Museum, offered for ty-nlue thousand dollars, hut the pic ture went to his rival on a bid of ilft.y thousand. It then developed that the purchaser wished to give the painting to a museum in the West. The two men got together nnd talked the matter over, anil tho conference ended In an agreement on the part of the purchaser to allow the other bidder to have the imtntlng for tho sum he had paid, In order that It might go to the Metropoll tan Museum. It ought to be a matter for rejoicing that such a noble picture la to bo forever a possession of tho American people. Iter, Henry Itasmus Is right when ho ays that n woman's truest capital Is not In her beauty of face' but, loveliness of character. Ho carries the matter farther than circumstances warrant, however, when ho says "It was tho -wisdom of the Almighty to give to womanhood a retiring disposition, l.vo took the Intlatlvo In family matters In tho Harden of Kden, and gave a con trolling direction to everything that has occurred since that time, Sarah, tho wife of Abraham, decided tho fate of nations, and Itebekah's cunning de vices had far-reaching political effects. Tho fact Is that progressive woman hood of the modern typo la not essen tially different from the old-fashioned ort. In both cases they have usually made, not to say taken, qvery advan tage of their opportunities In further lug their own power. There Is alum laut evidence to show that women are of "a retiring disposition" when they nre forced to retire, but this does not by any means prove Dr, Hasinas' point, that the Almighty gave to worn nil a retiring disposition. With fair jday she comes to the front oyery tfiu Man's perpetual llgliTuBulnst naturo U tjuipuiulxud by tho seismic cataclysm in tho West Indies, which will linger long in the memory of the people of this generation. The ball on which we live and strut ourselves Is a frail thing with troubles of Its own. We who live on the thick part of the crust are for ttuiate and can scarcely conceive what It means to be at the mercy of a vol canic eruption, liable to break out at any time, or to be tumbled out of bed and possibly out of house and home by the trembling of the earth, In Quito, Ecuador, earthquakes are of daily oc currence. Vet the people go about their business with no thought of catas trophe. When catastrophe comes, some lives are lost, buildings nre tum bled down and things arc twisted out of shape. The loss of life Is mourned, the houses are rebuilt, and each one as before pursues his favorite phantom. The dally gentle reminder does not ap pall the people. The great disturb ances pass from their memory like a tale that Is told. Man Is greater than nature of which he Is kin. He Is In nature, but over It, and never abdi cates his lordship. He cannot be per manently put out by eruptions of molten lava, the shivers of the earth, consuming tires or tidal waves. St. Pierre doubtless will bo rebuilt. Man must nliiv his nart on the Htage. When one party of actors disappears nnother takes up the role. The theater mny bo Injured, but the plnyi-rs cannot be put out permanently. They will live after the theater Is destroyed. When comes , the wreck of matter and the crush of worlds tho actor, man, will witness nnd survive It. Ilousp-eleanlng would bo robbed of many of its terrors were there no nttlc where Is stored that dreary accumula tion of things too good to throw away, and not good enough to keep. Tho modern housekeeper has painfully un learned some of tho lessons In thrift Inculcated by her Puritan grand mother. She tries to be generous when she looks over each reason's wardrobe. Mut gown, hut or shoes, unless some one Is actually sulTerlng for them, aro too often packed away In the vain hope or getting a little more wear out of them. There they stay to collect moths and burden tho housekeeper's Judgment and conscleilce. A city mis sion In Iloston and a church In a manu facturing city have recently contrived a plan for relieving this situation, mid for making the best of what would otherwise bo lost. The mission pro vides stout canvas bags, holding a bushel, which 'are properly tagged antl left at private houses with a card of explanation. Into them may go al most any article of household use clothing, hats, shoes, ties, ribbons, collars ami cuffs, toys, pictures, mot toes, books, curtains, cushions, rugs. Thus tilled they aro sent to tho factory city. There they are turned over to u corps of Skilled workers who put them In order. Milliner, dress-maker, seam stress, cobbler and tailor all experi enced in their art transform the con tents of the bag Into their best possi ble estate. This done, the articles are sold to the employes of the mills, and report says that the demand for them at reasonable prices far exceeds tho supply. The profit Is shared between Alio mission which has procured and colUvtcd (hem and the church which has icpalred and distributed them. In addition to this very considerable gain tuero Is the advantage of giving em ployment to several kinds of workers, and of providing the tlnal owner with garments so skillfully renovated as to bo much better than those to ho bought elsewhere for the same money. Altogether, tho clearing-house scheme Is so admirable that one wishes a simi lar plan might bo devised, for tho brains of some of us. How delightful If we could thus pass on our outworn experiences, our well-thumbed wis dom, our threadbare discretion, so that they would tlud favor In the eyes of youth and folly, leaving us no poorer and tho world tho richer. IloujiiN Oil PnlntlnuN. Something eiirlons In the shape of fake oil palntliiKs are now on the mar ket. They are Mich poor Imitations, however, that It Is easy for one to de tect their real elm meter almost at a glance. These pictures, gimrnlly copies of famous paintings of the nude figure, aro simply chromes pasted upon a can vas. The background and surroundings aro then painted over In oil, and also parts of the figures, especially the clothing or drapery, hut when It comes to tho exposed body, face, head, etc., tho very parts where the greatest amount of skill would he necessary In painting, they are left untouched by tho painter's brush. Going Into a store and asking the price of these seemingly beautiful oil paintings, the prospective purchaser Is astonished when tho dealer says $'- or something lower, and turning the bogus painting up to tho light, ho soon sect) Unit It la only n cheap ehroino, over cer tain parts of which a little paint has been daubed. AliiulmuHn Knro. Tho -'.BOO Inmates of tho New York altiiHhoiuo last year were fed at a per capita of about 10 cents a day.
