TOPICS OF THE TIMES. A CHOICE 8ELECTION OF INTER. E8TINQ ITEM8. Comments and Crltlciama Baaed Upon the Happening of the Day Histori cal and News Motes. The wings of riches make flying ma Chines look like thirty cento. If n minister's trousers bag at tho knees no apology is necessary. Fish mnko excellent brain food nnd thoso that got away nmko monumental liars. Though tho truth will out, it usual ly comes out too late especially in a liorso trade. Tho mothers' congress covered the ground so thoroughly that thcro Is no apparent need for a fathers' congress. fan ' -3 Prof. Starr thinks tho timo Is not far distant when tho white raco will lc wanning tho yellow raco's shirts. Japanese have very short legs, but an Improvement may bo noted after the war contractors aro through pull ing them. Truth Is stranger than Action. This is proved by tho fact that In truth tho villain generally gots both tho girl and tho money. J. P. Morgan recently defined n gen nlno monopolist as a man that minded his own business. Thero aro but few of us. A l(Vyear-old lady has secured a dl rorco In Chicago. With such an early tart It Is to bo hoped that sho may succeed In living It down. A calf kicked a man and brpko his arm. Tho arm Is getting along nil right, "but," tho local pnper adds, "tho man's languago continues feverish." Mr. Itockefellor Is reported to be harboring an ambition to become a platform orator. Perhaps ho thinks omo of It con never bo got in nny way save by lecturing. A copy of "Poor Richard's Alma nac" has Just sold for 505. Any ono who will pay that sum for weather 150 years old must bo somewhat dissatis fied with the present output A woman who wished to play with the tiger In ono of tho Chicago parks Is thought to be demented. Yet how many men have the samo strong incli nation without having their sanity questioned. Kmpcror William has ordered that very deserving child ki tho schools of Germany shall bo presented with Ms photograph as n reward of merit. What further Inducement Is needed to mnko tho Gorman school children good? Mlnml, Florida, was for n lone tlmo tho southern terminus of tho southern most railroad In tho United States. It no longer enjoys thnt distinction, for the railroad tins been extended fifteen miles farther south, to I'erlno, n town consisting of a single storo; nnd the tight of way hits been graded for n railroad round tho southeastern cud of tho State to Capo Sahlo. Flvo hundred women aro employed In tho provision stores In Now York cutting meat mid waiting on custom ers. They nro ns skillful as men, nnd their employers say that they attract custom becauso of their neat appear unco. They wear black gowns and long white aprons. Tho most dllllcult tiling thoy havo to learn Is not to wlpo their hands on their aprons aftor cut ting a sllco of meat Ono woman, nftor cleaning her hands on a towel bo bind her block, remarked to a cus tomer, "It took mo two weeks to re member that" Tho nvorogo young man or woman who has to work for a living would rather live In tho turmoil mid glitter of the city than to enjoy tho far more healthful, If less exciting, less "styl ish" perhaps, life of tho country. Wo do not know by what means the sur plus unemployed labor of tho cities can bo restored to tho farming communi ties. It Is certain, however, that nn adjustment of tho existing falso and abnormal conditions scarcity on tho farm and oversupply In tho towns would operate to their mutual advant age and benefit. Thero seoms to bo need of a campaign of education and enlightenment. Of all tho weaknesses that man is heir to nouo Is moro universal than the deficit habit, and fow aro as capa ble of adding to the discomforts of life. Not only Is tho deficit a problem In the life of the worklngman, but men In high positions government employes who havo generous salaries aro forever living wltli a deficit star Ing thorn In tho face, Thoy do not spend moro Uiun they make, but they Imply spend It beforo they recelvo It. Man seems naturally to fall Into tho habit of living a week If ho Is paid by the week or a mouth If ho Is paid by tho month ahead of his means. He Is very uuuecessarlly al ways pinched for cash, nnd whether It bo his grocer or baker or tho various men with whom ho deals, ho must en deavor to get uccommodutlons until pay day. . Only a fow years havo elapsed slnco ono of tho railroads of tho Mississippi Valley begau a campaign to increase tho freight produced along Itn lines by teaching tho fanners of Mississippi aud Louisiana to ralso "garden truck." At first It wnB hard work to Induce them to plant anything but cotton an uncertain crop which furnished heavy freight for a short tlmo and llttlo tho rest of tho year. Truck gardening for Northern markets, fos tered by cheap freights and aided by crop and toll experts hired by the road, soon proved enormously profita ble. Tho Stuto of Mississippi, Inter ested In tho new source of prosperity for Its citizens, recently bought u tract of "plno-slashlng" land at from $2.B0 to 5 an acre, cleared tho slashings, planted a winter crop of string beans for tho Chicago market, followed It by a summer crop of sweet potatoes for Now Orleans sale, nnd made $105 per aero tho first year, of which $9 an aero was put back in fertilizers. This was by way of experiment to show how supposedly worthless plno barrens became valuable when properly fertilized. Thero was a boy born into the home of a Now York millionaire. From the day ho drew tho first breath of life he hod everything that child could wish. Ho knew no self-denial and nothing about suffering. In his life people got things by ordering them. They had things done by telling a servant to do them. Diseaso came to him. An ope ration was necessary. Tho lad select ed a certain tlmo for that operation, nnd In explanation said that his moth er would bo in Europe, and would bo spared worry by reason of her lgnor ntico of tho operation, It Is good to know that his Idea was followed; tho mother was spared tho worry, and tho boy Is rocovorlng. Llttlo Rlnor Baeger, a bundlo boy In a Cincinnati store, grieved because his chnm was very 111. Each day he went without a portion of his noonday lunch, and tho B cents saved wns Invested In carnations, which ho laid on tho pillow of the sick boy. Tho doctor said that tho flowers assisted In effecting a cure. Homo one has said thnt children aro merely llttlo animals. They may bo In their sports, In their lovo of out door life, In their almost porpotual do slro for food. Hut right thcro tho ro sctnblancQ ends. Deeply Implanted In tho breast of every child thero Is a bit of pure gold called human love. It Is thcro at birth. Homo training, caress es and kindness develop It, and it grows nnd buds nnd blossoms llko n beautiful flower If it is given hnlf n clinncc. It makes him drop his toys and run into tho houso at tho most un expected periods for no other reason than that ho wants to give his mother n great bear hug. It makes him do slro to fight when ho hears his father, brother or sister spoken of slightingly. Ho doesn't know why ho feels ns ho doos; ho conldn't toll you why cruelty makos his heart quiver with anguish; why a frown drives tho sunshlno from his faco; why harshness makes tho tears como. Hut ho loves becauso of tho thing in his brenst; tho thing that mado tho son of tho millionaire want to sparo his mother; that has mado tho bundlo boy deny himself for his chum. It Is human lovo, and tho power that rules tho world put it there. TOLD THEM WHAT IT WAa Myaterlona iftmll thnt Puzzled Waalf Inston Scientist for a Time. The. mystery surrounding tho pecu liar egg-shaped object In Miss Scld more'H loan collection of objects of oriental art In tho National museum at Washington has lomlndcd many of the older curators of n similar Instance of tho Inability of men of hcIciico ti dctermlno tho naturo of curious and little-known objects, which occurred somo twelve, or fifteen years ago. At that tlmo thero reached tho musoum from a person who was In Ignorunco of the. naturo of tho object ho Kent a singular ball, tho truo character of which nono of tho curators could toll. Homo thought It was simply n ball of Ivory, says tho Washington Tost, others that it was a very hard and denso wood; ono or two advanced tho opinion that It was of motalj soma wero positive that It was an rg, whllo others conjectured that It was n pleco of foHHll resin or fossilized wood, n seed of Homo plant, and so on. Finally, after all had passed on the object, and failed to come unywhero near guessing StH truo nature, Wil liam Palmer, tho vcnerablo chief of ti.i- government studio nnd workshop,, n man who has been over tho world, seen everything and tnlked to every body, was called in nnd tho mysteri ous object that had bafllcd tho skill and kuowlcdgo of every man of science In tho city was placed in his hand. Ho drew forth his spectacles, adjusted thent very carefully nnd, taking tho object In his hands, ho looked nt It all over and when ho finished his scrutiny, said: "Why, don't you know what that Is?" "No," said tho men of science in chorus, breathlessly awattlug tho old man's decision. Then tho old man told them that cows, In licking themselves, got a cer tain amount of hair on their tongue, which rolls up In llttlo quids, which they swallow. Tho hair oventually reaches tho nnlmnl's stomach, wheto It lies for years, during tho whole period of the nnlnutl's exlstenco, In fact, and, collecting In the shapo of a round ball, In time becomes as hard and com pact us Ivory and somewhat resombles rhinoceros horn, of which It Is an al lied substance. Itoly la Often Itenewed. Of course everyone knows that tho human body is wholly changed every seven years the school physiologies teach that much but It will surprise somo to learn that certain portions of the anatomy uudorgo moro frequent changes. It takes but four weoks to completely renow tho human epider mis. You havo now eyelashes every tlvo months, you shed your finger nails In about tho samo tlmo and tho nails of your toes aro reaowed annually. Tho whlto of tho eye, known as the cornea, Is in a continual state of re uownl, being kept clear and clean by tho soft friction of tho eyollds. These aro n few manifestations of tho ro storatlvo powers retained by man, who Is less fortunate than tho lower ani mals. Crabs can grow fresh limbs; tho snail can renew oven a largo portion of Its head; with eyes and feelers lizards do not worry about tho loss ot n tall, and If you mako a cut in tho caudal appendage of somo of theso last mentioned creatures they will grow another tall straightway and ro jolco In tho possession ot two. Hut man still possesses tho wonder ful restorative llttlo cells which sci entific men call leucocytes. They aro alwuys coursing through the body to renew and to defend tho body from its enemies, tho harmful bacteria of various maladies. Theso cells goner ato antitoxins to kill our enemies. They do battle for us In hundreds of wnys, and yet tho majority of us know nothing of theso great services rendered by our tiny friends Inside. THB ' SPOKANE J. D.
