THE NEW AGE. POKTJjAND, OEEGON. m 1 1 TOPICS OF THE TIMES. A CHOICE SELECTION OF INTER E8TINQ ITEM8. Cojataemta end Crltlclem. Hosed Opon the Happening of tha Day UUtorl Cci and New. Note. A Brooklyn church, yearning for pcaco on earth, has abolished tho choir. Tho weight of expert opinion seems to be tbnt spoiling correctly 1b a gift, tho satno as spellbinding. When trust magnates hectn shylns tones nt one another there la suro to be a great shattering of glasv. Wo often hear of a tnlddle-aged man, but never of u middle-aged woman. A woman Is cither young or old. Gcorgo ICennan Is bearing up un der tho repeated misfortunes of tho Russians as well as could be expected. The man who thinks a good deal of his wife should not attempt to conceal his thoughts when ho Is alone with her. A New York man Is learning to talk without a tongue. This Is new; but many people have loarnod to talk without brains. Andrew Carnegie hns now given away more than f, 100,000,000. Hur rah for Andy. May he not stop till he makes It a billion. It Is comparatively easy to discover the germ that producos disease. The real trick Is to prevent the germ from discovering his victim. An excited doctor has run n pin through the mump microbe. It will be a great triumph when they coral the stono bruise microbe. Many a candidate who thinks ho hears the voice of the people calling to him, discovers later on that be has responded to a falso alarm. Sir Charles Dllko will now bo voted the loveliest man In all England. Ho has come out flat-footed for the admis sion of women to parliament. Another trained nurse has married a millionaire patient. Tho training of ouraai In some quarters seems to be a romprebenslve sort of tutelage. A great many peoplo dovote tholr beet thoughts and energies to bring ing prison reforms who never glvo a thought to the man that never did anything to merit Imprisonment. The geological discovery that tho western mines of the United States can produco unlimited quantities of radium follows closely upon tho heels of the discovery that radium is not good for anything. Amorlcn hns begun to set the styles of the world In wearing apparel, us well as in freedom. An English shoo manufacturer with branch stores In many largo Huropean cities Is making shoos on the American model bocuuss his customers demand them. Dr. K. Donjamin Audruws says that the President's race suicide theory Is a good one but that It can bo over worked. Dr. Andrews says that ten children Is too many, A few morn bits of wise advice and the Amorlcan people may yet learn how to regulate their family affairs, Public opinion has turned against lynching so steadily of late that the action of the Colorado sheriff who, Ingle-handed, stood off a mob at the point of his pistol represents a popu lar new fnshlou In offlconi of tho law. A few more such Instances of deter mined olllclal fidelity and courage will greatly help to cure the lynching habit The frequoucy of the remarks that Ilussla and Japnu will get rich out of their war shows tho long life of n popular misconception. ' Countries at war get poorer with startling rapid ity. Wnr does three things which make u nation look prosperous: It tuakos a scarcity of labor; it taxes tha futuro for an ludollnlto period and spends tho tax mnnoy at once In lavish sums; and It enables a handful of cap italists to reap vast fortunes out of tho profuso expenditure of monay, This true statomout of tho case cannot too early bo mastered. Vcroatchagln, the Kusslan painter who has dovotod his Ufa to depleting the horrors of war, with the Intention of abolishing tho cruel curso of the ages, was on board tho Husslan bat tloshlp Potropavlovsk. lie died lu carrying out the causo to which his art was dedicated tho securing of peace to tho world, lie was only In tho military camps uud upon tho mur derous engines of sea buttln to study realities so as to prosont to the world tho scenes Inseparable from war, It was his hopo that, when tho imtlom saw what they were fostering In tho military spirit, they would revolt from It and bring about a new relgit of peaco on earth, good will to men. Tho war canvases of Vcrestchagln have been forbidden the gallorles of Hussta and of Germany by mora than one do croc. They wero feared for the effect they would have upon the masses. George Collins, a young man, was hangod In St. IajuIs recently. A fow hours before his execution he said In an Interview with a newspaper report er: "My parents never gavo mo a show." Nor did ho say tills becauso of pique, nor to Justify hlmsolf. As revcalod by bis life's history what ho said was true. Tho boy did not got a fair chanco at life, in fact his parents gave him no chanco at all. Ills father and mother wero unfit for parenthood. They allowed their son to grow up In tho streets. Thero was no home atmosphere nor lnfluenro nor training. The only training was lu the direction of evil. Very early In life youug Collins came Into conflict with the police. They pronounced him a bad lot and finally bad htm sent to "tho reform school, in this school Collins simply took n post graduate In vice. After thus fitting hlmsolf for a criminal career ho was released to prejr upon society, Tho road to the scaffold wos a short one. Primarily the blame rests with tho parents. Had they given him a fair chance he could then blame himself for his wrong doing. Ills father and mother sent hlra to the gallows. The lesson of his mlospent life Is for parents: Be gin tho education of your boy before ho Is born with yourself. During a discussion at the Chicago Woman's Club Professor Arnold Tomp kins of tho Chicago Normal School said: "A man should dress well so should a woman but not too well; he should comb, but not too wellj he Hhould write well, but not too well, and ho should spell, but not too well. Tho press recontly criticised high school pupils becauso they were poor spellers. It was tho highest compli ment ever paid to them, becauso It proved they were In better business." Another speaker Indorsed this notion by declaring that thcro were more Im portant things In education than good spoiling, and that tho time was coming whon the poor spoiler would no longer iS2?i3 ZSTk. STJS5 proceed from tho mouths of school teachers wo may Infer that a contempt for spelling Is being rather assiduous ly cultivated by a considerable number of our modern educators, and tho question arises whether thoy are not Inviting contempt for themselves. It Is to be noted, moreover, that thoy can put forward no superior claims to au thority In the matter, because the test of the value of spelling Is not confined to the classroom. It Is being applied every day In business and in the pro fessions. The high school boy who Is assured by Professor Tompkins that the censure of his errors In spelling Is In fact a compliment may find that the more he Justifies such compliments the moro difficult It will be for him to secure the favorable attention of those upon whom he depends for em ployment. That Is n phase of the sub ject that Is of very greot practical im portance, and that admits, wo should say, of little difference of opinion among persons of experlonco in the world's work. It Is n fair conclusion also that whoro slovenliness Is encour aged In one branch of study Its Influ ence Is likely to bo folt In others, and If there are occasionally Instances from which It appears that poor spelling and broad genorat culture are not Incom patible thoy aro to bo taken ns curi ous exceptions, Furthermore, when we aro Informed that there are moro Important things In education than good spelling we are entitled (o a bill of particulars; also to proof that Inac curacy In spelling Instead of being tho sign of general slovonllucss is evi dence of devotion to the more Impor tant things. Upon the wholo, It would seem that the high school boy is get ting slops when he needs discipline, and If n professor may defy tho rules with impunity the boy enjoys no such privilege. In tills connection a story that Is told of Dr. Parr, an eminent English scholar and educator, is pertl iinut. When a gentleman dofcuded his pronunciation of Alexandria with the accent upon the "I" by an appeal to tho authority of Itlchard llentley, Parr coma down upon hltn with tho com ment that he (Parr) and Ilentloy might pronounce the word that way, but that tho gentleman had better stick to the ordinary usage. So Dr. Tompkins may spell as he pleases, but be ought to refrain from making a laughing stock of his pupils. . 4-H-4H--MH- A COMIC TTAGEDY. 4tft1,TTTTTtTTTT'T,T,i,tT',t, John llanvard, who afterward b cams famous as tho painter of a great panorama of Mississippi scenery, set out In his boyhood, In tho early thir ties, to travel down the "Great Water" lu a flatboat with a number of com panions. They built thslr boat on the Wabash, and wero to pay their way by exhibiting dloramlc views lu tho cabin at landings. Unfortunately tlio candle-lights worn not then shitt ing through the syeainoros along the Wabash, and before tho advonturers reached a settled region they ran out of provisions. In tho woods they could find nothing but pnpaws, lus cious at llrst, but quickly cloying. Kor two days, wroto the sixteen-year-old Ilnnvnrd, wo hud nothing whatever to eat but thoso awful pa paws. Tho very sight or memory of ono made me shudder. Then, on n Joy ful sunny aftoruoou, we approached Bhawueetown, III., on tho Ohio river, where we wero advortlsed to exhibit. As we came In we could see on tho bank a crowd of tho peoplo. Soma carried chickens, some eggs, some yams, some potatoes, somo "aldo-meat" (bacon) and somo corn meal. Our din ner was lu sight, for nil thoso things wore Intended us payment for admis sion at tho door, and all wore "good." Our stomachs, hungered and our mouths watered for the feast; but alas) we were too eager. Working our boat toward laud, we ran upon a reef and stuck fast. IS very effort to set us freo fulled. Darknesi ciuno on, and before our eyes our "house" disband ed and wont home, carrying our sup per with it. Discouraged nud forlorn, wo turned to our bag of papaws for what con solation wo could tliul, then went to sleep. Iu the night wo floated free, and at daylight wero In tho woods ngaln, eight miles below thoso luscious provisions. That was one of tho most awful tragedies of my life. Aitvlun to Totiai-Gtvora, The toast Is really n ahort address. Here, more than over, brevity Is tho golden rule, says llenjamln A.

Well, the peoplo who put you on know you wero not brilliant, and do not expect brilliancy from you.
