THE NEW AGKR, PORTLAND, OREGON".
J TOPICS OF
TUB TIMES.
' A Intly typewriter lins become a Hon
tnmcr. I'lobitfoly got tired of being
dictated to.
' 'Admit wits lucky In nnother wny. Ho
tiad no friends to come around telling
lilm how lie ought to bring up his boys.
ICIng Kdwnrd hns distributed 400
more coronntlon honors without notic
ing the riilsod linger of William Wul
dorf Astor.
The surgeon who operated on King
Xdwnrd says appendicitis Is really a
ood thing. Ho speaks from tho sur
geon's standpoint.
Tho innn who killed his wlfo because
he talked too much set an example
which, If generally followed, would
eoou exterminate the human race.
Another time-honored proverb ex
ploded. .Tubtuski, the giant, Is said to
to tho longest Pole In tho world, and
lio never knocked a persimmon In his
life.
Homo of the Independent steel com
panies are getting rendy to light tho
big trust. Or It may bo that they de
vice to bo absorbed at prolltablo Ug
urea. "Franco wants an easier dlvorco law.
Accoidlng to reports, nu easier mar
tlago law might obviate some of tho
vlls. It Is so much trouble to get
married that some people neglect to do
It.
Tho luminous and pregnant notion
that tho motor vehicle Is a convenience,
like a cab, not a medium of sport, like
b race house, Is gradually penetrating
'the Intellects of faddists devoted to
rapid motion. In tho nature of things
It ought to take root and bear fruity
incut for latter-day civilization.
Tho continued unhealthy condition
along tho Ambejemackonias, Kskwesk
vrowajo and Meskaskeeseehunk rivers
In Maine have Induced the State Hoard
of Health to decreo that no further use
of thu waters from these streams for
'domestic purposes shall bo made until
their names have been boiled down.
Quoeu Alexandra has revived tho use
of tho word "lady," which has been
tabooed by tho polite society of Eng
land In favor of "woman" during the
Inst decade, but reported proceedings of
Yemnlo members of tho I-omlon "swag
Kcr uet" lead to tho belief that her
majesty Is premature In tho revival.
Modern economy permits less and les.s
to go to waste. It gathers up the frag
ments, saves odds and ends, finds a
tuo for what once was called worthless.
Tho saving may tako a philanthropic
turn, us In the case of a largo factory
In Jena, (Ivruiniiy, which utilizes Its
vurplus hot water In such a way as to
-Klvo the laborers nearly a thousand
iatliH a week.
v"When tho eruption of Mont Pelco
wiped out the city of tit. 1'lerro and
destroyed more than thirty thousand
11 vim, thu world was aghast. Papers
were crowded with details of tho ca
'UiBtrophe, and every lino was eagerly
read, tiluco tho middle of July almost
as many lives have been destroyed by
the cholera hi Kgypt, yet the only nuws
of that loss which has reached thu
world at largo has been a fow lines
In tho London papers. A curious com
mentary on the power of thu spectacu
lar and unusual, even In death 1
Impoliteness or uupleasautnets on
tho part of salesgirls Is often attributed
to thu 111 ulauners of thu women who
fucu them on thu other side of thu
counter. Often It Is, for salesgirls are
only human, but tho Dry-Hoods Kcou
omlst thinks there Is another cause. It
snys of one store with which It Is fa
miliar, "Uvery employe In It seems to
bo good-natured. Why should there be
nny difference In this respect between
this establishment and tho average
utore? Is not human nature about thu
value thu world over? True; but there
Is a difference. Tho proprietor of this
store Is not only a merchant, but a gen
tlemnu. Ho treats his employes with
marked courtesy and consideration.
Ah n consequence, they feel ho kindly
disposed toward him and his huHluc.su
that their good-will Is rcllcctcd In their
treatment of his customers." Some
storekeepers never llml out why It Is
that so few of their casual customers
become regulars.
If nu Italian wants to praise n wo
man most highly, huadoes not tell you
vhe Is beautiful, or that she Is witty, or
learned, but he sums up hue virtues by
Baying who Is sliupatlca. What praise
this really Is, and how much happier
the world would bo It only a larger
number of us deserved Itl Sympathy
Is a great power as a maker of sun
vhluv. Think of the most sympathetic
iiiuu or woman you know, and think
bow groat and cheering an Influence
that person exercised over you In some
time of trouble and anxiety. Very like
ly you may have felt at tho time that
liad you been alone you could not have
Imruo the weight of care or sorrow,
"but with the friend's sympathy were
able both to bear It, and even to spare
thought and sympathy for other people,
Hyuipathy, like mercy, "blesseth him
that gives and him that takes," and
those who, as It were, padlock up their
iwwcrti of sympathy, lose u great deal
of the Joy of life. Among tho poor,
jerhtips, thu quality Is more common
Hutu umoug tho rich, for ccrtaluly
wealth, especially that which has been
hardly gained, seems to causo thu
growth of a crust of selfishness round
former kindly hearts and renders them
hard, when poverty and sorrow would
have made them tender.
Those who have clung to tho Malthu
sltui theory und have been apprehensive
that population would Increase faster
than food supply have occasion to ban
ish fear for millions of years to come.
Uacterla, with which nunio bo much
of an offending nature Is connected,
have their virtues, or rather wo should
say there are bacteria and bacterlu. It
has been found that some of the genus
nro Important ngents In the growing
of crops. Tho prospect Is that farmers
will go the nearest drug store, purchase
the special bacteria required, Inoculate
tho soil and be sure of a harvest. The
chief of tho division of chemistry at
Washington is authority for the
claims made for "bottled bacteria" as a
commercial product and the vnlue of
these organisms In Insuring a harvest.
Another hopeful outlook Is the assur
ance that what Is known as "MendulPs
law" has been proved an established
fact. This law relates to cross fertili
zation. Its discovery promises to revo
lutionize the hybridization of plants and
to turn chanco Into certainty. For In
stance, hitherto It has been Impossible
to foretell what the seed from any va
riety of tho apples of commerco would
produce. Now by the hybridization of
two self-sterile varieties tho variety
produced may be perpetuated continu
ously by tho seed produced. When one
ndds to these two Important discov
eries tho wonders effected In agriculture
by thu uso of electricity there Is llttlo
occasion to fear any failure of needed
supplies. Intelligence and thrift left to
themselves are easily able to ward off
Multhus and his pessimistic theories.
Human life Is a school. It begins In
tho mother's arms and ends only on
tho great Graduation Day when
on your diploma and mine
shall bo written oltnor "Well
IJone," or "Depnrt." Tho boy
or girl who believes that education is
complete when commencement day has
arrived makes a big mistake. That
day Ih a mero passage way from school
life to life's school. No innn or woman
over gets too old to learn something In
the school of life. Tho first lesson that
must lie learned Is obedience. Duty la
tho school master. Ho who falls to
learn the first lesson will fall at all thu
others. WhyV Uecauso character la
tho A, It, O of successful life. Bril
liancy, ambition, energy all theso aro
worthless If the Inner voice of duty la
disregarded. And this Is In tho very
nature of things. He who cannot con
quer himself cannot conquer obstacles
outside of himself. To successfully or
ganize material things a man must first
organize himself. He must be in har
mony with himself, with tho laws of his
being. To become anything ho must
be that thing. If ho achieves good
ness ho must be good. If ho achieves
greatness hu must lx great. Thu first
lesson being learned, the others nro
easy. Character, character, charac
teryou can build any sort of success
nu that firm foundation. If you build
an anything less your success Is Ignoble
success, and therefore, only successful
failure. Why do men stumble, morally,
all through life? Uecauso they stumble
at the first lesson. If you learn to obey
the 'call of duty, although tho other les
sons may seem hard betimes and tho
tears may fall on the page of tho book,
you have only to say, "I tried to learn
It, Teacher." And tho greatest of all
Teachers will show you the solution.
Indorsed tbo King's Comluot.
Headers of tho Sketch will recollect
that on tho occasion of tho recent visit
of the king and queen to tho Isle of
Man, an Illustration of tho royal party,
Including Hall Catnu, who acted as
cicerone, was published. Iir that pho
tograph thero Is a picture of a small
boy wearing Ids hat. Hu is Derwent,
the younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Cauie,
and Is 10 years old. Only he and the
Marquis do Several, the Portuguese am
bassador, remained covered In tho pres
ence of tho king, the marquis because
ho does fealty to another sovereign and
Master Derwent for a reason of hU
own, which came out when tho photo
graph had been printed and he was
looking at It with his mother, "Der
went," she said, "why didn't you take
your hat off? Didn't you see that all
the gentlemen did so?" "Yes, mother,"
he replied, "but I kept my eye on the
king, because I knew whatever ho did
would be all right, mj when he kept
his hat on It would be right enough for
me." Loudon Sketch.
Tho Ainerlonn Iron "Plant."
Tho Englishman was being properly
surprised at thu rapidity with which
the sky scraper was going up.
"Deuh mel" he exclaimed, "It seems
as if your buildings grow as rapidly
as your maize."
"Yes," replied tho Westerner, nn
blushlngly, "and the process of raising
them Is much tho same."
"Fawncyl Wou't you explain fur
ther?" "Well, you see, wo Just get an Iron
plant, put It In tho ground, havo the
street sprinklers water It, and In a
mouth or six wcekB the sky scraper Is
full grown."
And, taking another Jireath, tho cou
sin from over seas managed to believe
It. Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
In order to simplify soo!a MTalrs,
It Ik suggested that every hosless have
a printed bill of fare, so that hci
guests will be prepared, when asked
when they get home, "What did you
liuve to eat?"
A sure cure for Insomnia Is to hav
someone knock on tho door and tclJ
you to get up, -
