THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON f . m99&9G&&tG I Topics of I I the Times 1 Consider, If you plcnxe, tho absurdity of tryliiR to take nn Immunity bath In on oil tank. Tho New York Mull wants to know what liaH liccomu of Jmiiich Hnzcu Hyde. Wo can't ImnKlno why. And. ni tlicao trnits step iihIcIo, tho others will picas? emtio forward and take their tloso of brlnmtoiio and mo lassos: Most likely about A. I). 0703, somo In defatlKable exhumer will locate the "cof fin of John 1'au! .Tones on the slto of Annapolis and reclaim It for n grateful nation to buy with great eclat Congressman Dawion declares that tho American hen In sixty days can equal the total production of all tho gold initios In the United States. Hur rah for the hun I BUM, we'd rather have a gold mine. An official of tho Bureau of Agricul ture tells that It Will take $360,000,000 a year to furnish meal tickets to tho potato bug, the grasshopjier and other crawling things. The potato bug, ac cording to tho authority cited, takes (10,000,000 a year, tho chinch hug f IB, 1)00,000 and tho grasrthopper f 88,000,000. Other Insects bring the total up to more than a third of a billion dollars. Increasing line In mado of tho knowl edge that tho finger print of no two person nrd alike. Tho Indian Ilureau haa reported to tho uho of tho thumb print fur tho signature of unlettered IndlatiH. It plenses tho Indians becatiHo of it primitive Individuality, and re moves nil doubt of the authenticity of signatures. Already a great ninny In dlnn thumb print are on lllu In tho Interior Department. Instead of handcuffs and Htrnlt J tick et for tho violently lunatic, tho Kan sits board of lady visitor hart urged tho governor to uho hi Intlueuro to oairo a trial of uiuvlc an n paclllor. Was It not Temiynon who wrote of "Music that genttler on tho spirit lien than tlr"d eyellde uKn tlr'd oyoeT And ha not music charm that soothe the mvage breait? If tho pout tell the truth, why eliould It not bo useful for soothing a dletrnught mind? One can hardly believe that doprav Ity can reach such a depth a wax de scribed lately In New York, at it legis lative hearing concerning tho Inbelltig )f mixture containing dnuKerouii drug. Tho Ntittenieut was tlilas tliat of all the cocaine manufactured In tho United Htates, more than one fifth U used for Illicit purpotcH, and that there are druggists who try to establish and foe tvr the cocaine habit by giving away mall quantities of cocaine uh nam. pice. Tho cheuilenl blonde ha very nearly disappeared from the enlightened gaze of men. Oucu upon a tlmo tho yellow mid strawberry beauty was taken at her own coloring, but now It Is uiuIp to practice any Mich deeeiitlon. Sophia tlcattou ruled the hour. No masculine, much lenu feminine, eye can bo devulv ed. Her lustrous hair In woman' glory and to arrive at It alio iniit cling to the color in which nature turned hor out, lie hIio blonde, brunette or nondo crlpt. No beauty doctor or dyer' art can change tho leopard's spot without luuard of betrayal. Making face an nu aid to beauty U tho latent wrinkle, or rather, the Intent device for taking tint wrinkles. One who professes to be an authority nays that If n perruiu makeit faces at himself with Intelligent discrimination us to the kind of facet made, hollow eyes, sunken cheek and thin nones can ho cntitcd to disappear, and In their places will como pluinpn.'HH mid good color. Till may bo why nugol-faced children uro ho charming email boytt mid girl mako facvH euough, either when they cry or out of pure mischief, to supply beauty for a whole ladle' Bomlnary. Two hundred college professors have applied for retirement on pension un der tho provision of tho Carueglo foundation of ten million dollars for their relief, Tho trustees of tho fund have lately decided that tho minimum peiislou shall be eight hundred dollars, but not to exceed four-fifths of the sal ry paid at time of retirement, and that tho maximum shall bo three thou sand dollars. As the annual Income from the hind will be nbout half a million dollars, there will bo enough to tnko care of all tho old professors In the colleges eligible to Its benetHs. This Includes all non-sectarian Institu tions of college rank. Tho old ago of tunny a worthy man will bo mndo easy and pleasant by this great benefaction. Quick recognition of his heroic qual ities has come to l'rof. Mntteuecl, the director of tho roynl observatory on Mount Vesuvius, who remained at his post during tho recent terrific eruption, and mado a record of tho progress of the event. Within less than n week of tho height of tho volcuulo activity, snd before all danger had passed, King Victor Kiiunaiiucl conferred on tho professor the rank of couiniiinder of the Order of tho Crown of Italy, tho most highly priced decoration for cour ago within tho gift of tho king. None but a man of great hardihood could have had tho bravery to remnlu at his tHst on tho slopo of tho mountain while streams of lava dewed down Its sides and red-hot ashes fell from the sky. After Russia Germany Is the richest country In children. For every 10,000 Inhabitants there are 803 living births a year, as against only 220 In France. Hence the Increase of population In Germany Is correspondingly great. In tho course of tho nineteenth century tho population within the present terri tory of tho einplro has much more than doubled In splto of tho considerable numbers of Germans who have emigrat ed during this time. In 1810 there were 24,400,000 souls In tho territory of the present empire, whllo In 1000 there were 50,'JOO.OOO, which corresponds to a yearly average lncreaso of 1 per cent, whllo more than C.000,000 Germans have emigrated from their homes dur ing tho nineteenth century. In order to moasuro the meaning of these figure we must comparo them with tlwso of n country like France, which Is practical ly stationary in Ita population. In the middle of tho century thero were as many people In France as In Germany. In 3845 there were In Germany 04,400, 000, In France 34,600,000, while In 1820 France had nearly 4,000,000 more than Germany. To-duy tho French popula tion has risen only to 88,600,000 and Is thereforo more than 20,000,000 behind Germany. BDenklnz of national anthems, Blr Kdwnrd Etgnr, tho foremost ol En eltsh comnoser. says "Rubbish I" Tho rhyme, the sentiment nnd in most In stances tho music, he says, are "vile." Ills point Is that the people hnvo never called a flue nnthem Into being an a direct resiKinso to their national feel ings and aspirations. Even If thoy hnvo a good tuno for their anthem, he says, It Is likely to bo borrowed from somebody elue. All this may be truo from tho musician's standpoint Hut It Is well to bear in mind that patriot ic songs are not written for musicians. And It Is worUi while to note that fow patriotic songs of any eonseiuonco wero over written by musicians. It may lie truo that tho national anthems fall short of Ix-'lng real music. Hut It must bo taken Into consideration that thoy uro also far more than mero music. If their music formed the solo appeal to popularity they would not bo nation al songs at all. A skilled musical com poser I tho last man IH to criticise tho songs of tho heart Ah well might a cultured critic seek to analyse nnd eon domn a people's love-words nnd lulla bies. Highly refined lauguugo and mu sic strictly according to nice rules do vory well In transmitting the little, elu sive emotions and In gilding the com monplace; but n great passion Impet uously Jluds Itn own direct way of ex pression. The man who has heard tho soldier bands play "The Btnr Bpangled Haulier" at sunset after tho last day of a bnttle, while tho beaten enemy was lurking In his trenches only a little dis tance away, will need no musician to Interpret to htm the messngo or to tell him If It Is melody. Musicians, and especially musical composers, nro tho Inst to bring themselves to understand tho popular sentiment nbout music. How shrunken nnd pitiful n thing, how hollow a delusion, Is tho so-called success of self-absorbed men nnd wom en 1 I.lko that soldier who, when On lerlus sacked tho camp of tho Persians, found n bag of shining leather filled with penrls nnd cnrefully presorved tho bug but threw nwny tho contonts, thoy will llnd that they hnvo spurned truo riches, real success, to hug to their hearts things that nro false nnd worth less. Achievement Is not nlwnys suc cess, whllo reputed failure often Is. Mnny n poor crlpplo who struggled tin dor his handicap, doing his best to make himself useful, trying to reflect a little sunshlno in the darkness nnd to make n homo n little brighter, but Dov er expecting special recognition hero or hereafter, will bo surprised to (hid his itnmo written In letters of unfad ing light high above that of n nation's conqueror. When tho genius of truo history unrolls tho scroll of earth's real benefactors It will bo found that many who stand highest on tho list wero hardly recognized during their lives. The nomo of many n servant will bo nbovo that of his master. Mnny n liumblo employe will bo found to have been In reality mora successful than the proprietor of tho establish wont In which ho worked. Truo hu man history will bo enriched with tho story, not of tho useless prince, but of tho unknown boy who remained on tho farm, helped to pny tho mortgago and stilled his own ambition, In order that the favorite brother might be sent to college, and thus scored a higher suc cess tluui tho renowned one for whom tho sncrlfico was made. The girl who smothered her longings for a higher education, or snerltloed tho prospects for mnrrlago and a homo of her own, In orde.r to tako enro of her ngod par outs, nnd was never known outside the llttlo circle of n few friends, will loom , larger and brighter In tho truo record of human forces than tno sister who went to college nnd liocnuio a great au thor, musician, in not in uiiivos. no can estlmnto what tho world owes to. thoso who, according to the ordinary standards of success, hnvo failed? Who can computo the debt of civilization to the men and women who, In their ef-,05 forts to make tho world n little bright er, u llttlo better place In which to love, hnvo been too busy to make mon ey or to nchlevo fame? lu( Hint u n Itrfcl Tvat.
