x. i TOPICS OF THE TIMES. A CHOICE 8ELECTION OF INTER. E8TINQ ITEM8. Comments and Criticism! Based Upon the Happenings of the Dny-Hlstorl-cat and News Notes. It Is a wise child thnt known which parent will kltlnnp hlra before the day Is over. Col, YoungliusbaiHl lins lifted the lid In Tibet nnd found that tuero wasn't -,very much under It. We hnvo come to the conclusion thnt Aunt Cnrrlo Nation Is tho only bug that can exterminate tho boll weevil. If Undo Sam wants Smyrnn rugs the Sultan can't sec why ho doesn't ko to Philadelphia, where they come from. Of course, that ?10-1I11 factory In Atlanta failed. Tho government seri ously objects to burgaln sales of money. Tho cablo says the czar didn't con fer any honors on his navy at tho christening of his soti, How could he? The czar Isn't a professional diver. Auto smashing may yet becomo ns thrilling nnd popular n pastime In tho Kast as Is broncho-busting In the wild West, nnd somewhat more expensive. When yoti prouounco "wheat rust" rnpldly It sounds very much Itko "wheat trust," and then yoti begin to get n clue to somo of tho operations on tho market. Fifty per cent of tho woman grad uates of the University of Wisconsin are unmarried. Tho publication of this fact undoubtedly will provo to bo tho hardest blow yet struck at coeduca tion. Women nro now trying to become mall carriers. Turn about Is fair play. Parhaps they think tho mates hnvo carried tho females so long that It Is Umo for tho females to carry tho malls. The higher education Is all tight, of courso, but It sure Is true thnt a lot of tlmu nnd monoy Is lost trying to mnko lawyers nnd doctors out of ma terial naturo Intonded for shoomnkers and carpenters. "Whoso flndoth a wife," snys flolo mini, "fludeth a good thing." And Solomon was ono of tho most experi enced husbands that over lived. Tho records of modern divorce court would Indtcato that cither wives or husbands must hnvo chnnged more or less sinco IiIh day. Tho department of agriculture nt Washington, In addition to widespread and carefully considered oxpurlm'outs In tho lino of reforestation, Is about to lnnugurnto a system of wlreloss telegraphy to nld In tho preservation of Umber now standing, In the grent west forest IItph destroy every year far more valuable timber than Is cut for the uses of mankind. Ily tho estab lishment of tho wireless telegraph sta tion at tho danger points of tho north west It Is believed that enrly ndvlces of Are can bo given In Umo to adopt successful menus of prevouUon. Magic circles did not go out with the days of superstition. Tho holders of a railway concession In China hnvo drawn a circle nbout Canton across which no foreign railway mny pnss without their consent It Is simply a belt line of railway on tho outskirts of the city, with branches running to the suburbs. The French nnd Kng llsh holders of ratlwny concessions must mnko terms with the Americans before they can Iny their tracks across the bolt lino. In tho United States the courts usually mnko short work of uch obstructions, but tho mngtc Is likely to work In China for several years yet Meantlmo tho French nnd Kngltsh ratlwny men nro admiring tho alertness of their competitors from this country. Mny It not be asked without offonso, when we hear of ono owner of Jewels mislaying only a small part of her stock nnd store of the value of 1260, 000, If sho could not llnd greater satis facUon, moro plonsuro, less worry In Investing so much money In othor ways? There nro still orphans In the world, wo uudorstnnd, tho hospitals, too, we nro told, are overcrowded, and old folk, It Is stated, coutlnuo to knock In vain for admittance at tho doors of homes and asylums; tho churches aro still crying for money nnd tho world presents many golden opportunities to the rich to mnko Investments In noble charity which nro likely to pny better In tho end thnn the vulgnr, tawdry display of Jewels which, though they make the clowns stare, causo the Judi cious to grieve. "Boltovo mo," said a Philadelphia physician who makes a specialty of treaUng nervous disorders, "It Isn't overwork that superinduces nervous prostration. Tho men who succumb to nervous strain nro not tho men who work continually under high presHtiro, Tho man who has no relaxation has no time to brood over his health, nnd brooding Is fatal to n man whoso nerves are highly strung. If n man Is constantly busy In mind from morning until night ho isn't In any danger of nervous troublo. Its only when ho re laxes aud gives himself a certain amount of leisure that tio Is In dan ger. A man Is a good bit like u piece of machinery. Its tho relaxation thnt tells. Take Uussell Sago, for Instance. He celebrated his eighty-eighth birth day today, and ho Is In tho harness all the time. Should ho give up even a part of his daily routluo tho prob ablUUes aro that he would be a dead man In six mouths. Tho man whose nerves troublo him la tho mun of com parative leisure." Tho growing tendency of business men to challenge the usefulness of tho higher education In business gives more than usual Interest to tho report ef the uatlonal commissioner of txlu eaUoa for 1008, which exhibits la a atrtklng way the growth of tho college b4 SBiveralty system In this coun ts-. MttwltacUaAwg the claim of those who havo devoted themselves to showing how a, collego education un fits a young man for tho practical money-making nctlvlUes of life, the enrollment nt tho higher Institutions of learning has nearly doubled In the last ten years. In this connection tho showing In tho classical and "general culture" courses Is significant and worthy of especial nttentlou. The youth of Amerlcn nro not rushing pell- mell Into tho technical or specialized branches, as many would have us be Hove. A very large majority of tho students mny still bo found In those departments that are designed to give n broad arid liberal culture Instead of speclnl training for special pursuits. According to the report of the commis sioner there were 638 Institutions class ed as universities, colleges and tech nological schools. The total number of students resident nt these Institu tions In 1002 was reported at 107,301. Of theso 00,325 men and 12,W)7 women were In universities and colleges for men and for both sexes, C,M0 wero In colleges for women, 11,808 men nnd 1,202 women were In schools of tech nology. Comparing 1002 with 1800, the total number of male students at tho higher Institutions Increased from 41,020 to 78,133, nnd tho number of women had Increased from 10,701 to 20,258. Of the entlro number 40,082 were In classical courses and 14,287 In other "general culture" courses, whllo 7,303 wero In scientific courses and 3,472 in agriculture. The ukaso of tho czar, Issued on tho christening day of his son and heir, goes to substantiate tho ntory recently referred to that tho conversion of Prltico Meschersky to comparative lib eralism foreshadowed an announce ment of tho like conversion of tho czar. In the ukaso Nicholas, of course, renfflrms the doctrine of divine right nnd speaks of himself as the source of all tights as well as all privileges, some of which he graciously bestows upon tho children of his "great fam ily" "for their greater enjoyment In their dally lives." The ukase grants general amnesty to all political offend ers except those charged with murder, It abolishes corporal punishment among rural classes nnd for first of fenses by privates In the sen and Innd forces. It provides for n general mlU gatlon of penalties for common of fonsos ngalnst Inw. These are for tho most part acts of clemency, but tho sweeping amnesty granted to political offenders nnd the mitigation of pen nltles for tho future In the enso of ordlnnry crlmlunls imply a pormnueut chnugo of government policy In tho direction of grentor liberality. Other "gifts" bestowed signify n grout change of policy In dealing with Fin landers, Jews nnd others, nnd a dis position to attach subjugated peoples to their Imperial master by toleration nnd kindness nnd n general relaxation of tho rigor nnd sovcrlty with which they hnvo been trcnted under tho re gime of tho reactionary advisers of tho czar. Thero is, however, no Intimation of a purposo to make a departure In tho direction of parliamentary govern ment. In this respect tho autocrat of Jnpnn is fnr In ndvnnco of tho "auto crat of nil tho HusBtns." Theoretically, tho mikado Is ns much n representa tive of tho Almighty on earth nnd ns much tho source of all rights and all good things, as much tho repository of supromo and absolute authority nnd power, ns Is tho czar, but tho mlkndo Is fnr In ndvnuce of tho czar In ac cording parliamentary power to tho whole people and local self-government to tho communities. This ukase, nev ertheless, furnishes evldonco thnt the cznr In getting In lino with modern political enlightenment and that In tlmu If tho nihilists nnd othor radicals will keep hands off ho will ovortako the mikado nnd show thnt tho head of tho church of Russia Is ns onllghtou ed nnd progressive nnd humane as the head of paganism In Jnpnn. TOILERS OF THE UNITED 8TATE8. Farmer I.riul All Other til the Btn tlatlta of Occuputlou. Tho tutlstlca of occupations of tho cltlzoiiH of Uio United States, ns Indi cated by tho twelfth census, have been compiled mid published by tho general ifovernmeiit. They nro overwhelming lu their dlmcnslona. It tins been the aim of those busy Interrogation points, tho census takers, to ascertain tho occupntlon of every person In tho United States of moro than 10 yearn of ago. They wero warned by tho directors of tho census to bo complete In ascertaining this branch of their results. Persons work lug In a brewery, for lustanco, wero not necessarily to be classed as brew ers. Tho men who work In tho brew ery cooperages, to clto a lucid Instance, were to bo called coopers aud not brew ers, Blmllar distinctions wero mndo lu the caso of tho farming Industries. Any person working on a farm for wages alone, even though that person bo tho farmer's son himself, was to bo classed as a farm laborer, and only tho person conducting the farm to bo classed as the farmer. Tho book starts boldly by presenting a uatlonal table of classltled occupa tions. From It wo learn that tho Unit ed State still Is an agricultural na tion, Tho farmer rules lu numbers here, at least. Out of tho 2tV.S7,070 persons In the land of the freo and the homo of tho bravo who are earning their dally bread by tho sweat of their brows, 10.4!W.i!10 wero In tho pleasant month of June, 1000, engaged lu agri cultural pursuits. These wero divided Into many classltlcatlous, farmers, planters and overseers, dairymen and datrywomen, gardeners, florists and uurserymeu, Btock raisers, herders, drovers, woodchoppors, and apiarists. Next to tho farmer In numerical strength stand tho manufacturing and mechanical pursuits. There nro 7,112, 801 persons actively ongaged In these wonderfully varied occupations, so ex tensive lu all their ramifications and clasiltlcatlous that a moro list of them would enumerate moro than 150 forms of skilled aud ordinary artUaushlp. ranging through all tho different forms of manufactures.
