JeVV' n THE NEW AGE, POBTLANT), .OREGON J TOPICS OF i THE TIMES fyytiiyy't wwwiiww The fruit trust Is now being neensed f squeezing the public llko a lemon. Mennwhllo there nro a lot of people who could help by simplifying their own signatures. Naturally, wlucntcd persons nro pro Yoked by nn attempt to mnko them un learn their upoHlng. In RuBoln they arrested n mnn with a pumpkin full of cartridges. Another revolution squashed. A dentists' union Is now being form ed. Will It deny to non-unloulsts tho privilege of wearing fnlso teeth? "Mark Twain" pleads for tho adop tion of "simplified" spelling. Mark Is still America's greatest humorist John D. Rockefeller has had a tooth pulled, but what the country Is watting for Is to seo him get his leg pulled. Hlnco hazing hus been stopped at West Point tho demand for tabasco auce must haro greatly decreased. Tho Connecticut Democrats socm to have been able to bold their convention without offering a nutmeg to Mr. Dryan. Aberdeen University has conferred Cbo degree of LL. D. on Andrew Car negie. When did Andrew give Aber deen a library? An American millionaire it reported to have paid $40,000 for a Titian. These would be halcyon days for tho old mus ters If they weren't dead. San Francisco peoplo aro talking of holding a world'a fair In that city In 3018. Evidently the Hun Franciscans nru neither discouraged nor superstitious. Sir Oliver Lodge says tho sun will bo cold In i!0,000,000 years from now. Br Oliver probably doesn't think Prov idence Is working overtlmo In tho In terests of the coal trust Kiuperor William says ho would como to this country If he were not kept so busy at home. Considering tho way tho emperor works, It is surprising that ho doesn't strike for a raise of puy. gregatlon the old-time giants of the pulpit faced. They were no4 handi capped by such considerations as tem per the eloquent flight of the preacher of to-day. Tho publication by a London news paper of scores of Irtters on "Grum bling husbunds" draws out scores of other letters on "Nagging Wives." Tho husband who sulks or swears at tho breakfast table, tho wife who over cooks tho mutton and undercooks tho potatoes, tho woman who Is cxtrnva-. gaut and silly, and the man who Is stingy nnd exnctlng, All tho printed col umiirt with their unlovely faces; but no ono seems much tho happier for the discussion. Tho truth lies deeper thun any slnglo experience Is likely to dive. Itut good cooking on tho part of tho wife nnd cheerful paying of bills on tho part of thoi husband, economy nnd gen erosity each In Its place, tact In tho training of children, success In earning a good Income, and a thousand circum stances llko these will not insure do mestic happiness. Even Love, tho ma gician, cannot do that, although he promises blithely to do so. Skill In tho art of living Is tho essential for a happy homo and It must bo possessed by both husband and wife, oven though In varying amounts. It is exactly like hklll In playing the piano or running n complicated machine to bo acquired by practice, and to bo preserved by practice. An Irritable word, unregrct ted, or a glum silence Is an offense agulnst the art Unselfishness Is tho very root of It Courtesy Is Its fair blossom. The woman who has skill In tho art of living would as soon think of turning a drove of swlno loose In her dainty homo as of lotting out thero a black herd of reproaches and crimina tions. The husband would bring thieves and outlaws under his roof as soon as fault-findings and exaction. In any largo vlow of llfo theso flaws In Its most Intlmato relations take on their truo hldeousuess. Neither a cook ing school nor n college course can euro tho disease of which they are tho byiup touts. That can bo cured only by a licart-stlrrlng realization of that divluo order by which tides and stars and pystcins movo In their npiwlutcd coum'H, and by which discord and con tention meet their appointed cud of misery nnd wreck.

Aftor revolution has nourished for n hundred years la Cuba, it is rather too " much to expect thnt the pustluio should ho suddenly given up with no other popular diversion to take Its place A Chicago scientist has discovered tTint a man who accumulates money as Itockufcllcr has done Is aided by gnomes, sylphs, undines and salaman ders. This will mnko lots of pooplo satisfied to stay poor. The Htandard Oil Company Is go ing to Increase Its capital 1400,000,000, giving tho new stock to tho old share holders as a bonus. This may bo a cunning schemo to keep Ida Tarboll from buying her way In. nusslan terrorists have condemned Tremler Btolypln to death. It will be hard for ex-I'reeldeut I'alma of Cuba to understand how they can get any body to hold ofllee lit Itussla for auy amount of money or glory. The prejudice against the uniform, when It takes the form of refusing Its wearers admission to public places of amusement, whether or not It may be Justified by experience, Is a bad thing for the nary. It Is difficult enough uqw to secure eullsUueuta for that service. It will be still more dlillcult If It bo come widely known that wearers of tho uniform aro subject to hostllo so cial discrimination on shore. Belf-ro-pectlng young men ctf the shops and farms, conscious of such proscription, will shun tho service. Under both Eugllsh and American law every man Is presumed Innocent until ho hus boon proved to, bo guilty, but under old Kugllsh law when ho has unco hud u trial in a court of compe tent Jurisdiction and has been convict ed tht'i presumption Is reversed ! It la presumed that he has been Justly tried wild Justly convicted. If ho question the Justice of his conviction and car ries that question up to a superlru trlbunal, tho presumptions nro agnlust him and In favor of tho tribunal. It Is not, therefore, suftlclent for him to ahow that some error has been commit ted on tho trial ; ho must also make It npicur to tho satlsfactlwt of tho appel lato tribunal that this error has been prejudicial to htm and really affects tho Justice of his condemnation. If we may accept the expert opinion of tho famous sou of a fumcuis father, pulpit eloquence has suffered a decline. According to Iter. Thomas 8purgeou, oil of the Into Her. C II. Spurgtxui, the sermon of to-day Is no Iqnger the power it was. It Is posslblo the mod ru sermou may bo couched In equally forcible language, but Its lutluonco can not be compared with that wielded by the exhortations of a generation ojr more ago, Tho pastor to-day faces a very different audience, an audience thnt Is at onco critical nud largely un impressionable. It doesu't ask for rhapsodies, It Is Impervious to warning lessons, It refuses to, have ita feelings Every physician knows thnt wo may Increase bodily suffering nnd oven on Kcndcr tho very discuses wo most dread by continually dwelling ujioh our bod ily condition. On tho other hand, wo may uuKineut our health-power by ex pelling discordant thought or any other enemy of health and happiness from tho mind, ns ono would eject n thief from his house. Tho mental conditions that govern success are precisely the samo aa thoso that govern health and happiness. Success Is largely a crea tion of tho mind. If wo would succeed wo must framo tho mind for success. Our thoughts must be of success, not failure. A stream cannot rise higher than Its source, nnd even a Raphael could not paint tho faco of Christ with Batan In his mind for a model. If we have dwelt upon the dark side and lived In the shadows, tho brain Is In capable of producing bright, helpful nentnl pictures. How can ono expect to find success and happiness when ono is going In the opposite direction, con stantly feeding tho mind with visions of disaster and failure? The mnln- spring of all effective effort Is hope. If hope Is strangled by gloomy fore bodings there Is no Inccntlvo left. You can antlclpnto failure and disaster so long thnt your bralu is absolutely In rupublo of giving off anything but mor bid thoughts. You Increase discord by admitting Its reality, Just aa you In crease happiness by dwelling upon tho things which mnlj you happy. So by dwelling upon and anticipating fail ure you Invito It and causo success to fly from you. If we persistently shut out every thought that discourages or depresses, and keep the mind In a bright, healthy, keen condition, then the bralu cells will be clear to think and plan and the body strong, active and able to carry out tho bralu'a dic tates. Tho mind that is unclouded by the cobwebs of fear and expected fail ure and quick to seize upon every pass ing opportunity or advantago, will open tho door to success. Indeed, the posses sion of such n spirit ns this is success itself. No material treasures thnt nny man may ncqulro can comimro with tho treasures of a hopeful, healthful uilnd. No Smoking In Street. No snmklng was allowed In the streets or parks of Ilerlln before May 23, 18JW, and offenders were punished by a flue for tho tlrst Infraction of tho rule and by Imprisonment after wards. The King of Prussia In those days detested smoking, and the police and military men were under strict orders to arrest anyone who smojeed In public. It Is recorded thnt when Napoleon occupied Ilerlln a hundred years ago the Ilerllncra eagerly took advuutage of the opportunity to smoko, nud too a special delight In putting smoke In the faces of the police, who then had no power to arrest them.
