THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON.
J TOPICS OF
5 THE TIMES.
Every mnn pities himself more or less,
but few deserve half of It.
The death of Zola has served to re
mind the world that Dreyfus still lives.
A man suing for divorce calls his wlfo
n cold-blooded proposition. Feet, prob
ably. Mr. Ilacr has not as yet expressed any
fear of whut may happen to a man who
dies rich.
Tho lady who swallowed a bottle of
furniture polish doubtless had that ma
hogany brown taste.
IttiBBolI Sage has almost arrived at a
point from which ho Is ablo to sco that
money Isn't everything.
Tho Yoho woman and tho Strong
tnnn have been married at last, and
this Is as good a time as any to forget
them.
A French physician says education
breeds Insanity. Tho theory will enable
us to account for tho sanity of somo
jicople.
A watched pot never bolls, and tho
chances aro that those Venetian steeples
whose collapse Is.untlclpattd will never
tumble.
Tho Sultan of Cardamonsccd was
killed by tho Americans. The Sultau of
Hulti was murdered some time ago by
Georgo Ado.
Lieut. 1'eary says that tho arctic re
gion Is tho place for consumptives.
Most people would prefer less lung and
more comfort.
l'i Zimmerman hns given tho Man-chesti-r
baby ?l!r0,00). Tho dulco will
now ho ablo to work up (jutto a llttlu
popularity with chorus girls for a year
or two.
Tho defender of ono of tho St. Louis
hoodlum alluded to bribery as a "con
ventional crime." What 1h needed now
Is hoiiiu good, conventional punishment
to lit It.
A Now York man who died tho other
day left a collection of over MR) snuff
boxes. So live, young man, that when
you die tho world will see you had a
dellultu object and aim In life.
Ono of tho curious Inconsistencies of
good people Is their eager sympathy for
the whitewashed villain of romance,
mid their unwillingness to believe of a
living man that ho Is not ho bad as he
Is painted.
It Is said that ono American maga
eIiio has received within ono year !(),
000 unsolicited manuscripts, of which
number only ninety were accepted. Tho
young man or woman who has chosen
literature as a profession hus a luird
road to travel.
A citizen has been cut open by tho
doctors to recover a set of false teeth
which were afterward discovered In a
mattress. It Is to bu suggested, there
fore, that tho next time baby swallows
Ills rattle tho skillful surgeons should
cut open tho mattress on tho baby's
crib.
"You could not hit a bam door!" cried
a little boy of eleven to an older lad
who held a rlllo In his hand. "Is that
no?" retorted tho other, as he tired a
bullet through the child's lung. "It
was all iny fault 1" gasped tho little fel
low before ho died. Could tho "dare"
offered and accepted, tho widespread
lack of self-restraint, and tho reckless
use of llrearins bo more concisely epi
tomised? The school children In Uegglo noil'
rmllla, Italy, aro required to commit
o memory ten precepts formulated
by the now socialist city government.
Tho llrst Is, "Lovo thy schoolmates, for
they will be thy coworkers for life,"
nml tho last Is, "Let It be thy purpose
In life to hasten the day when nil men,
as free citizens of n free State, live In
jieneo nnd happlneos In truo brother
hood." Theso aro excellent principles,
nnd tho socialists deserve credit for
teaching them, although they did not
originate and cannot monopolize them.
Among tho tendencies of tho times
none Is mom gratifying than those that
nro gradually making rural life less ob
jectionable to tho best elements of our
society. The tide of rural exodus to tho
city shows somo signs of turning.
Those who have been leaving tho old
farms have more and more disposition
to turn back. Tho rush of rural com
inunltles cityward Is being stayed and
tho country districts show more and
more marked signs of being rescued
from desertion. Certainly no more
hopeful Indication were possible City
life stands, on tho whole, for mental,
moral and physical deterioration.
Winston Churchill Is probably the
most distinguished contribution to tho
Now Hampshire Legislature since tho
memorable accession of Charley lloyt.
Mr. lloyt wielded n potent lutlueuco In
legislation by freely distributing passes
to tho "Hag Paby" and tho "Parlor
Mutch," and Mr. Churchill Is lu tho
name enviable position as a dramatic
author of power and standing. Wo shall
watch the nico to glory betweeu Mr.
Churchill nnd Mr. Turkltigton with tho
liveliest Interest. Whou a man has
sounded nil tho depths and shoals of lit
erature, and wearies of tho empty hon
ors of tho arduous life, ho naturally
turns with longing to the culm, peace-
existence of tho State
Tho bequest of a French millionaire
follows to a certain extent a plan of
Cecil Rhodes for educating Americans
at Oxford. The sum of ono hundred
and twenty thousand dollars Is set
apart as a fund to enable French utu
dents to study philosophy and religious
sciences In German universities. Thero
Is also n fund for tho support of a
German university professor to lecture
In Paris under tho auspices of the
College of France. In such Instances
of liberal giving thero Is more than n
recognition of the educational advan
tages In Institutions of learning for
foreigners who enroll themselves there
in. Tho civic acquisition, euro to fol
low such a residence, Is not tho least
result. To know other countries more
thoroughly Is, generally, to apprcclato
better tho excellences of ono's imUvo
land, and to realize inoro clearly tho de
fects of administration, If such thero
be.
John Charles Collins died tho other
day In New York. Never heard of
him? That Is because he was a bravo
man who kept his sorrow locked In his
own breast and refused to whine.
You've seen tho picture of a Jolly boy,
his arms full of snowballs, waiting for
u victim to pass his way. John Charles
Collins painted that. It was his best
piece of work, and thousands of copies
of It were printed. Hut ho was an art
istnot a business man. Cod gives to
few men genius nnd also tho ability to
make money. Bo John Charles Collins
dropped out of sight and pasted his
Inst days painting campaign banners
to gain a bare livelihood. Ills belong
ings told a story of poverty. Thero
were pawn tickets by tho scoro. At first
ho had parted with paintings, and then
one by ono his other valuables passed
into tho hands of tho money lender.
There weru letters tliut told of a con
sumptive sou who was sent to Colo
rado In tho vain search for health. They
wero full of endearing expressions.
This old man loved his son with all the
forco of his nature. Every letter was
signed "Pop," and tho artist had re
fused to let his boy know of his fath
er's poverty or tho cheorlessncss of his
life. It was plain that every dollar
that could 1m spared, that could bo rais
ed by pinching and starvation, went to
"Pop's" sick boy. That Is about all.
John Charles Collins Is dead nnd John
Charles Collins' boy Is dead. Tho thing
Is one of life's little tragedies that
holds humanity for a minute, brings
a tear to tho surface nnd then wo for
get. A Gorman peasant declared that his
small earnings were divided Into three
parts, one of which went toward pay
ing nu old debt, another to support him
self nnd wlfo; the third ho put out as
a loan. When surprise was expressisl
that ho could do all this, ho explain
ed that tho paying of tho old debt camo
lu tho support of aged parents, nnd that
ho regarded tho expense of rearing his
children, who would somo tlmo look
out for him, ns money lent In a some
what different wny tho world at largo
Is living In part on an Inheritance of
tho past, and nt tho sumo time Is lay
ing by something for coming genera
tions. Tho fresh grain Holds of this
new country nro dispensing each year
from tho wealth that they have been
storing through tho centuries; our
grandchildren will necessarily cultivate
lands of considerably diminished fertil
ity. In llurope tho scramble for fei
tlllidug substances has become keen,
and as they are found lu stored beds, In
most cases, their uso represents only a
more Indirect "wearing out of tho
earth." Mineral deposits, such as coal,
oils and ores, In course of exhaustion,
affords a still more striking example of
what the past has bequeathed to us.
Can we do anything to maintain a good
balance In the treasure house of na
ture? This question Is entirely prac
tical. It enters Into the work of sev
eral divisions of tho Agricultural De
partment, notably tho bureau of for
estry. Inventors In the mechanic nrts
aro also helping to suggest answers.
Public Improvements In parks and
highways, lu drainage works and Irri
gation systems, except those which nro
transmitted to posterity with huge
debts, really constitute a gift from the
present to tho future. Nations should
practice economy with their natural
stores, Just as Individuals do lu the use
of a modest patrimony. It was only a
wag who remarked that ho cared noth
ing for posterity because It had neer
done anything for him.
KIhIi Flour.
Ono of Norway's chief Industries Is
represented by tho tlsherles, nnd Quan
tities of fish aro sold at very low rates,
particularly during summer. Ono way
lu which theso are utilized Is by
menus of an Invention which quickly
dries and pulverizes the llesh of fresh
llsh, Tho resulting product, called tlsh
Hour, Is easy to transport from one
plaeo to another and has great nutri
tive value A new nnd prolltnhlo branch
of Industry might be established lu
America, by utilizing tlsh In this way.
Doing tho llest Ho Coultt.
"Hoyl" shouted the woman, with her
head out of tho window, "what ye
throwln' stones at?"
"At yer cat," replied the loy.
"And what are you throwln' nt my
cat for?"
"Hecauso ye hain't got no dog to
throw nt." Htvoklyn Citizen.

A French writer states that of every
100,000 men of the army or naval pro
fession 1D0 become hopeless luuutlcs.
Among mechanics the number Is only
slxty-alx per 100.000.
