I TOPICS OF
THE TIMES.
A fat own linn more trouble than ho

Calm Is free, but It should not over
look tho fact that we nro Its rich uncle.
Tho way of tho transgressor may bo
fcard; but a good deal of It seems to be
asphalted.
"What costs nothing Is worth noth

costs much.
Some automobiles can travel 100
tnllcs without being repaired If thoy oro
hipped by train.
Tho man who has soon ovcry Presi

When a baby girl Is born she at

The ruins of the campnntlu at Venice
have been cleared away. Under them
was found the building Inspector.
Tho German editor who writes so
wlthcrlngly of "American arrogance" is
doubtless bothered sotnewhut by our
commercial expansion.
Hall Galno has been showing King
Edward the sights on tho Islo of Man.
Of course Hall exhibited himself as tho
nost important of them.
Mr. Mend's saying Unit "tho English
workman lights machines', whilst the
American workman Improrcs them,"
explains a gieat deal of America's
prosperity.
Tho young gentleman with an attenu
ated cash balance will Indorse with en
(hsulasm the statement of the fowl
commission that Ice cream soda is a
nost dangerous and pernicious hover
So, unfit for human consumption.
Hchwnb's riches coma so quickly that
fee was not able to keep pace In tho cul
tivation of a millionaire stomach and
nerves. These, when not born In one,
must be carefully acquired. Inability to
manage course dinners has wrecked
suiiy u promising career.
It U said thut tho Duko of Marl
borough has vowed never to set foot
on American soil again. Oh, well, he
can make that kind of a vow without
running any serious risk. Tho Van
derbllts will no doubt be willing to
aud the money to him regularly If he
Mrlously objects to coming after It.
How Inequitable sometimes seem tho
decrees of fittel A poor woman who
merely eared that she might become
Insauo killed herself tho other day,
while dozens of people who are un
doubtedly crazy not only refuse to kill
tlicniHolveM but Insist upon publishing
historical novels, lecturing on Kugllsh
literature or getting up political con
ventions. In a recent test of accuracy In firing
torpedoes the vessels of the torpedo
boat llotllla in the North Atlantic made
Home remarkable hits of a lloatlng tar
get 1,(KH) yards away. As each hit
would have meant utter destruction In
time of actual war the Importance of
these wasps of the navy Is being her
nlded abroad as a valuabh' discovery.
It is well to shoot straight, of course,
whether with popgun or with automat
ic torpedoc, but the main thing In
these high explosive days Is to get
close enough to an enemy to lodge a
shot. Ioug before any torpedo boat
could havu" approached within t.COO
yards of an enemy It would have been
blown out of the water.
A Kansas paper notes that, of the
dozen carloads of old Iron received ev
ery week at the local Junk-yard, "prob
ably ulue-tenths couslMs of farming lin
ideiueutH ruined by rust. Many of the
Implements look as If they could still
be suved from the Junk pile by a black
smith! the farmers thought differently,
and bought new ones." .Such are signs
of that carelessness which sometimes
accompanies prosperity; but the same
thing precedes udverstty and then,
bow ugly It looks! If the mortgage also
could be left In the Held to gather rust
mid ultimately wear nut, the condition
of the plow and mower and binder
would not so much matter. Since that
Is Impervious to moUture, even to tears,
It would seem business-like to take care
of tho machinery that may help to pay
It.
Horace Walpolo complained that a
caller at Strawbetry Hill broke off the
bill of a beautiful marble eagle, and
then to cover the accident carried the
)ieco away in his pocket. The modern
sightseer l perhaps more prone to
leave something behind him. Tho gen
erous citizen who opens his grounds to
the public Is too often repaid "with In
gratitude and orange peel." In public
grounds empty bottles are broken Into
bits which are dangerous to other pic
nickers and to animals: pieces of paper
are strewn over lawns, Hower beds and
ornamental ponds; names are carved on
fences and Inscriptions written on sum
mer houses. To say "don't" Is over a
thankless task: but If every tourist In
private or public grounds would make
a point of gathering up with glove or
tick a few banana skins, papers and
broken bottles, and hiding them uuder
tho rhrubbcry, a sentlmeiu tt public
tidiness might bo created which would
force reform upon the careless.
Prof. E. DenJ. Andrews declares that
parentage among the poor should be
discouraged. Tho multiplication of this
class of citizens Prof. AndrowB lists
among tho social evils that Bhould bo
eliminated. Ho Insists that It Is one
of tho duties of socloty to discourage
tho birth of children "under conditions
which render It unlikely that thoy will
become self-supporting citizens." This
Is a good enough theory to creato a
sensation, but beyond that ond If. has
no merit whatevor. Had this theory
been In force tho world would havo had
no Lincoln, no Franklin, no Hpurgoon,
no Gladstone, no Homer, no Hhak
fipcare. Tho best In literature, philos
ophy, science, theology, statesmanship,
music, art would bo anborn. Ernso
from history tho named and accom
plishment of all born In poverty ami
multitudinous volumes would shrink to
a lean pamphlet Tho brilliant galaxy
of tho world's luminaries would bo ob
literated, their reflected light would n
gone, and remaining would bo only In
distinct nebula of small stars. All life
teaches that the child born healthy has
no limit set upon Its opportunities
Xono can foretell what strength and
precision of grasp may be dovcloped In
those tiny hands, what powor may
grow m that eager brain, what stamp
may bo slowly, surely pressed upon the
character. Poverty Is no obstacle to
character building; It Is a positive hotp.
Early toll becomes a fixed habit and
deprivation teaches soul deep tho d1
vino lessons of wholesalo aspiration, of
self-denial. "Conditions which render
It unllkoly that they will becomo self
supporting citizens," Is rot The elder
Rothschild, the elder Vnndervllt, Jay
Gould, Cyrus W. Field, John W. Mac
kay and a hast of others, most eminent
ly capablo of self-support, were bora
under Just such conditions, If there bo
such. The unrestrained breeding of dis
ease and vice Is another question, and
ono of vital Importance; But poverty
Is not hereditary.
A good many of tho boys and girls
who havo taken diplomas from high
schools and .academies and colleges this
year havo been talked to by various
persons, from tho President of the
United States to tho selectmen of the
town, but havo had no chanco to "talk
back." There are still somo schools
that cling to tho olden fashion of
holding commencement day aa tho op
portunity for youth and Its dreams
not for age and Its wisdom, Tho
commencement program of ono New
England academy shows an extraordi
nary devotion to this Idea. Tho exer
cises began at half-past nine In the
morning. They consisted first of twenty-seven
cssayu by members of the
graduating class. Then there wan an
Intermission, and In the afternoon there
were fifteen more essays. Tho subjects
covered a wide range eulogies on
ticorgo Washington, Hannibal Hamlin,
William McKlnley and Theodore
Itoosovelt; studies of 'Tho Ship Sub
sidy Hill," of "fiubmarlno Navigation,"
of 'Tho Marconi System," of "The
Uses of a Library," of 'The Illblo In
Tennyson," of "Hie Holy GniU" and of
"Moses." Of tho forty-two subjects
there was not one of a trivial or sensa
tional character, not ono that would
not Invite to a fuller knowledge and
promise rewnrd for study. Now, sure
lyi thoso forty-two Iwys and girls, In
writing for this notable day with Its
rapt audience and friendly applause,
must havo gained much good kunwl
edge and some power of thinking
clearly and of speaking lucidly and
forcibly. Meantime, a widening circle
was Instructed and Inspired. Mary
does not read and write on 'The Holy
Grail" without Interesting father,
mother ami sister In the mystic story.
John does not study the career of Hair
nlhul Hamlin without reviving grand
father's memories of the stirring '((Oh,
and setting the whole family to read
lug aloud a life of Lincoln. Altogether,
Is It not probable that tho hundreds
of parents and friends who sat patient
ly through those somewhat long and
arduous hours of the old-fashioned
uommeucemeut had gained something
when the d'iy was over that even the
most polished orator In his happiest pe
riods might have failed to Impart?
A I'roaolier on I'ronctilng.
It Is pleasant sometimes to hear a
man "talk shop," especially If he Is a
distinguished man working In a great
shop. Dean Hole In his book, "Then
and Now," has some humorous end
wise things to say about his own pro
fession, preaching.
We want more simplicity, he says, to
speak In n tongue that Is "understand
d of the people." Mollere tried to read
his comedies to an ol I, uneducated
woman, that he might Jmke by the
manner In which she was affected how
his wit ond humor would be received
by the people. I could name some poor
old folks whoc opinion 1 should rather
have about a sermon of inliiu than that
of men In high entitle.
"Tell me the story simply, as to a lit
tle child'," cries tho heart that yea.'ns
for truth: but some preachers take
pleasure In grandiloquence, mysteries,
metaphysics.
A famous classical scholar, preaching
to a small congregation of rustics In
the Lake District, said to them, "In
this beautiful country, my brethren,
you have an apothcoMs of nature and
an apodelkueusls of theopratlc omnipo
tence!" Atliiyinvr the l'liuU-,
Mr, Pogram It's all right, pahsou;
