THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON. N rl 3' TOPICS OF THE TIMES. U CHOICE 8ELECTION OF INTER ESTING ITEM8. RDommenta and Criticisms Bnaed Upon the HnppenltiK of the Day Hlatorl cal and Ncvra Note. Job was tho original knocker, but lila provocation was very grout This will be n good tlmo for tho rain stonnrlcs in tho far Enst to como homo and visit their friends. Tho cost of tho penHlon roll Is fl.75 a year for every mnn, wouinu and child In tho United States. What has becotno of Uio old "cam phlro" bottle that every well-regulated family used to keep handy In the "pan try?" Tho United States sold $103,000,000 iworth of breadstuffs abroad last year, on lncrcaso of 90,000,000 ovor tho best previous year. Mr. Rockcfoller Is reported to hove gone into tho Ice business. This being the case, only Rockefeller ponds will be expected to freeze hereaftMr. Lord Hope, former husband of May Polie, has married tho daughter of an Australian banker. Lord Hope post lvely refuses to earn his own living. An exchange calls attention to tho (act that a man may got well when two doctors sign the dally bulletin. 'When three doctors sign It, he la all In. it tart disease and nervous prostra tion aro almost unknown among the Japanese. This Immunity is attributed to tho equanimity and cheerfulness of the Japanese. A scientist has found out that a child 8 years old uses a vocabulary of 1,200 words; a 3-year-old, 11,800, and a 4-year-old, 4,000 different words. Evidently only Iloston children were examined. A Philadelphia waiter who inherited million dollars u few days ago Is working rlight along us If nothing had Happened. What is a mere million to a waiter who has a good "tip" route? A St. Louis Judge says American sjlrls who como to grief by marrying titled foreigners deserve no sympathy. Ho probably doesn't expect to bo run ning for Qtllco when the wouiou get a cbanco to vote. A New York dentist kas died, leaving tnany benefits to tho public as a result of his sevonty years of Investigation and discovery. Hut lie never solved tho problem of how to make a dentist's bill fit the pockotbook. LThe lady whoso birthday was hointf lebrated when the Japs arrived at Fort Arthur has not begun contribut ing to the magazines, and neither docs ha announce bor Intention of going Son the stage. Borne peoplo waste elr opportunities Just terribly. U Russia has an autocratic government the most antique form of despotism, Do religious liberty, no freedom of jtpcb, no ballot, no public school sys ham, no congress, no other legislative pody, no constitution, no tolorauco of progross In any form and only a thin ireneer of civilization. In Japan there U constitutional government, absoluto freedom of religious belief, freedom of apeoch, a system of common schools ami public education as good as tliut In our own land, the ballot, a wise and honest Judicial administration, a broad, well-balanced ami modern system of government and a high type of civiliza tion. Some time ago n woman who has helped many people to see Uie wonders of the world about them told a friend how her own eyes were opened. One summer she happened to be spending a few days at the same hotel with a certain naturalist. Ills enthusiasms did not Interest her at all; the progress of Hi" inbroldery which sho hud brow ..' with her for "pick-up work" wmh of fiir greater con rem to her than all tho miracles of June. Hut one morning, aeelug him eagerly searching tho ground under her window, sho leaned out and asked curiously: "What do you find so absorbing down there?" "Come out and seol" he called, In reply. Why she did It she could not tell. Per haps, after all, the call of the day was too great to be rosleted. She threw aside her embroidery and went out. That embroidery waa novor finished, (or the world of delight sho dlscovorvd that day changed her wholo life. She bought books and microscope, and be gan to Investigate for herself, thou srlth her children, then with other peo ple, After a while she began to write, ed tho writing brought her new ends and the Introduction to scien tific clubs and societies. A score of fresh Interests filled her days, Inter emu which sho met easily witli tho re uawed health wou from tho long out-of-doors hours. She lived, In short, a new lift In the midst of the new heaven and earth to which her eyes had been hpaoed. There are thousands of them gwbo need to releaso tired eyes from Ibair petty, exacting, needless tasks, to Straighten tired backs, and to let the Craah air in upon their lives. The high act city walls cunnot wholly bar out nature. She visits city roofs and streets and yards as freely as tho country hedgerows. All that she asks is an opportunity to reveal hor treasures of haalth and Joy; bor constant cry Is, Oome out and seel" When you aro naked what part the promou of thu rising generation nro to tUay In Uio affaire of the nutloti, you flan point to Vueeur College ua a typo. (Vajtesur needs nioro room. Tho crowd ing 14 ao dense that In the class whoro 100 girls can be accommodated thero to 4&0 appllcanta, and more coming. kcs4 ether colleges that make a special f ot training the female mind are also feoprlag. The girl Is determined to ire an education. Bhe has dlscov that while her lot in life may, probably will, be to hocouio tho of some good man, and that she till need to know mora of nursing hot- pm and what to do when the baby has olio than about Greek vorbs, education p pltal, for the man in his offlco and JM vresun la her home. There was a tlmo when a married woman was not expected to know the things found In books. It was scarcely deemed worth while to teach her to read. Sho was cither an ornament or a slave, isow, even tho man of fow attainments and rough manners Is proud of the Intel lect of his wife. Ueauty Is no longer her solo recommendation. She can talk knowingly. Sho had read books nnd the world. Sho Is a better mother for tho learning she has secured and a hap pier woman. Tho man who would dis courage the educating of women would bo deemed an enemy to civilization. In tho United StutcM there are about M0 colleges for women. Not on too many. Tho ambition that fills them with eager young women Is laudably There Is much In the higher education, and tho country that makes most of tho brains of Its women can never bo a bad country. It is it hopeful sign that thou sands of young women tiro anxiously willing to dovote tho butterfly period of their lives to the securing of knowl edge Bbe does not live on the avenue. Bfce lives on a side street. Tho house has only five rooms. It Is a cosy home, all in actlvo uso. As tho mortgage which originally covered It grows leas tho porches about the cottage grow larger. It was built for two and Is now occu pied by four. There's Himself and Herself and The Girl and The Roy "us four and no more." Himself la a man, every inch. He is hearty, Inde pendent, energetic and steady as a clock. He has got his big feet firmly planted on the lower round of the sue cess ladder and Is climbing slowly, surely, carefully. Ite lores Hersolf and no other. The Boy and The Otrl aro healthy youngsters. The Bay whistles and The Girl sings and Herself does not complain or snattercu nerves. But "How can a woman who must economize and pinch enjoy her self 7" Perhaps the happy little woman might bo unable to explain that She would Bay perhaps! "We have enough and a llttlo to spare for the very poor. And really there Is satisfaction In doft ly darning Hlmsolf's Sunday coat. And thore is zest in turning little garments inside out and in puzzling one's brains to mako both ends of the household meet. Wo aro getting on. Wo have no envy of those who live In big houses.

Hero's your law of compensa tion again the Joy of service. If ono must wrinkle ono's brow sometimes ovor a household problem, studying how one may "cut tho corners" for the sako of Himself and Tho Other Two, measure for measure sunt as tho law of gravity, certain as tho law of chemi cal affinity ono shall be paid back ten foldl Ah, little woman (and that's the pathos of It), you don't know how rich you are. Enjoy your children while you may. Who knows? They may grow up and honor your gray hairs. Or they may grow up and break your heart Or some day you may live In a big house where things are gilded and life Is hollow. The time may como whon thero's no longer need for lovlug calculation or willing self sacrifice more's tho pity. If that time shall ever come to you, little woman, how will you yeurn for the doys when you were "so happy and so pore!" RUSSIANS REPAIRING DAMAGE DONE TO THE RAILROAD.

They talked loudly nltout It for tho buuetlt of the other passengers, and tho more nervous ones, especially the women, begttn to grow apprehensive. ' 'Yes,' nald one, 'my caae was a pretty hud ono, the doctors said.' " '8o was mine,' replied the other fellow, 'it seeuiH good to get out of the hospital, dotttu't It?' " That's what It does, said the first one. "Sitting next to them was a man who had been taking It all In. At this point he leaned over and snld: '"I say, when did you fellows get out?' " 'Only yesterduy,' loudly remarked one of tliein. " 'Is tliut so ' exclaimed the man. 'So did I. What ward were you In?' "Well, those fellows Jumped off tho car as though It had boon struck by lightning, nnd you couldn't oee their heels for dust." Origin or Oxtail Ho up.
