The grave problem of over-population of the world will maintain iU suprem acy as the indissoluble issue confronting mankind, but it has its correlative en igmas of a localized sort, that, in their lesser sphere, are of just as grave, and far more immediate, import. Among these there is the invasion of the work ing realm of man by his friend, sister, wife, daughter and all-round companion, woman. The day is fast approaching when only the heavier and rougher lines of work, that are beyond her normal strength, will be left to his power and endurance. If there was a limitation of a reverse order in his case, if he could awing 'from his latitude of ser vice to here, there might be something compensatory in the situation, but the doors are closed to him after she ha abandoned her occupancy of the post she inherently belongs to, and when ' she has superseded him, he must leam a new trade or adapt himself to strange conditions that ake infinite time and piitu&ce. considerations that) are not happily put up with by the average era ployer in these rush days of overwhelm - ing competition. The woman in the same circumstances of learning her new avocation has the advantage her sex confers in all other relations of life, the employer concedes to her a suf france he would not think of in the case of a man, and so hers is the ad vantage throughout, and this but adds to the discomfiture of her brother, her natural protector and supporter. Like all other inevitable things it must be borne until it solves itself, but during the interim the condition of mankind as a whole is likely to assume start ling proportions of penury and degra dation that even her refining grace will not save nor her earning capacity miti gate, for, first and last, woman is the prime item of cost in the life of man, no matter what her earning power may be. far below expectations. The country is heavily in debt and being impoverished was in no condition to drive from Man churia the formidable army gathered about Gunhu Pass under General Line vitch. Victory in the nVld would not have sufficiently affected the rates of I interest at which the mikado's govern ment was being compelled to borrow its millions to pay the cost of the cam paign; it was a question of peace or lost of credit. The real condition of the national finances has been kept from the people, who being without this logical explanation for the sudden ter ruination of the war and the relinquish ing of fruits about to fall, naturally are open in their ertkUm of the Tokio cabinet SOML Vatal BOOKS. President Butler, in his address to the students of Columbia University, has sounded the keynote of a campaign that should be taken up by all who have the welfare of the nation at -eart. His arraignment of a large part of tlie American people for a lack of high moral principle is severe, but no one can say that it is undeserved. Words like Uiose uttered by Dr, Butler and the startling disclosures that have recently been made are, however, tending to produce a better sentiment and arouse the dormant consciences of many who knew that evils existed but who were too timid or too slothful to do anything to exert themselves against wM'.tutivw v luc aire lb U AJ IK) hoped they will arouse in the student body, in those who a few years hence will hjave commercial, industrial and professional affairs in their own hands, Ideas of something nobler and better than those now so generally prevailing, It would be vain to try to eradicate from the human breast the love of money and of the power which posses sion of money givsn, but it would be painful to be forced to admit that man Kina is so lost to all sense of distinc tion between right and wrong that pres. ent conditions must grow worse instead of Improving. .-.

Toe rice and cereal crops seemed doomed to failure in Au just; since gathering, they have proven The news that the south Is likely to fight revision of the tariff helps to explain why the democracy has been searching since 1896 for a new issue as diligently as Japhet in search of his father or Coelebus of a wife. The south is where the democrat live, or people who call themselves democrats, though now most of hem are firmly in line for policies' distinctly republican in their origin. Time as well as politics make strange bedfellows. "0 There is encouragement in the report that the representatives of "the xems tvos and municipal councils in Russia have decided to accept the plan of national asembly and make the best of it That is right The plan is by no means perfect Indeed, it is Tery faulty and inadequate. But it is still a long step forward, and it ought to 4e re garded and improved as such. The next tcp will, because of it, be all the easier to secure. The Hamburg-American company has had a pleasnt surprise. Having decided to experiment with a steam turbine, it finds that the ship which was equipped therwith develops a higher speed than tie contract called for. Some'day the managers of the other prominent Ger man trans-Atlantic line may be con vmced that they hare been too cau tious in hesitating to adopt Mr. Par son's famous invention. Harvard university, oldest and largest institution of the kind in the United States has just begun its 270th academic year. Last year it had 5393 registered students and the number this year will be still larger. It is young, however compared with the two leading universi ties of England. Oxford was founded in 1243 and Cambridge still earlier. o Now there is to be an organization to diminish wife desertion. It has never been determined whether wives are best pleased to be regarded as luxuries or at necessities. THE TELEGRAPH'S NEW RATE. The swift steamer Telegraph leaves Callender dock, Astoria, daily, for Port land, except Friday, at 2 o'clock p. m., arriving in Portland at 8: 30 p. m.

NO SEASON FOB IT When Astoria Citizens Show the Way. There can be no just reason why any reader of this will continue to suffer the tortures of an aching back, the annoy a nee of urinary disorders, the dangers of diabetes or any kidney ills when re lief is so near at hand and the most positive proof given that they can be cured. Read what an Astoria citizen says: Mrs. X. Jacobson, living at 127 Suoml street, fays: "In our experience Doan'i Kidney Pills performed all that was claimed lor tbem. Ibeir action was speedy and the results satisfactory. I procured a box of them at Charles Rog er's drug store, 459 Commercial street for my grandmother, Mrs. M. Beck, and she used them.

For so doing he was sentenced to per form public penance In bis shirt, with rope round bis neck and a torch In his hand. Afterward he and his book were burned together and the a.she thrown into the air. The similar punishment meted out I to Semtus at Geneva because of his book 'On the Restitution of Christiani ty" hi historical. By a refinement of cruelty the brow of the unhappy author was adorned with a crown of straw sprinkled with brimstone, and new. moist fagots were purposely used In order to proloug his sufferings. Antonlus Palearlus, an Italian au thor of the sixteenth century, bad the audacity to write a book attacking the Inquisition, lie .was sentenced to be hanged, strangled and burned." Jor-I dsue Uruno, the friend of Sir Philip Sidney, was punished In like manner for hating written a book entitled The Expulsion of the Triumphing Beast." A sorry fate befell John Williams. who foolishly sent two samples of spring poetry to King James I. For safety the unhappy poet Inclosed the verses In an Iron box, and Jamos, who always feared assassination, jump ed to fm conclusion that the latter con tained some sort of an infernal ma chine. When the real nature of the contents came to light the timorous monarch and hla counselors became the laughing stock of England, and James In revenge caused the unfortunate Williams to be hanged, drawn and quartered. New York Globe. 4 Grr Squirrel Migration. Early writers tell of wonderful mi gration of Aiuericun gray squlrruls, which must have arisen from the rapid Increase and consentient OTCBcCwdlug of a locality. Thousands of this species would stert off In a regular army, all I moving in the same direction and with considerable rapidity. Although these little animals have an extreme aver sion to water and do not excel as swim mers, yet whenever a water course, no I matter what width, barred their prog ress they would not hesitate for an in-1 stanr, but plunge in and struggle des perately for the opposite shore, seizing upon anything In the way of floating sticks or chips to assist them In the! passage. Unless the river was Tery narrow by far the smaller percentage I of the band reached the farther shore, the rest becoming exhausted and drowning. The armies never seemed I to reach any destination, but gradually their numbers woukl decrease by death from drowning and other hardships un til the band faded entirely away. 4 J Thlrt 8U Portland.

As high sheriff of a county It once be came his painful duty to attend the execution of a criminal, when, baring seen that all the preliminary arrange-1 ments were complete, he bowed, touch ed his hat to the culprit, whose black cap- was already over bis face, and took bis leave with bis customary: ' Hlr, I wIho yon a very good morn-1 " My head was one mass of scabs, my forehead was covered down almost to my eyebrows, and I had to wear zny hat all the time. My body was covered with spots in size from s pin head to as large as a silver dollar. A white, crusty scab would form snd itch, snd words csnnot express the torture and humiliation I suffered for fifteen years. I tried many doctors, and all kinds of treatments, but could get no help, and I thought there was so hope for me. A friend told me to gctCuticnrs. I did, and in three days my head was si clear as ever. I sp plied tbeOintmentnightand morning, also taking a hot bath three times a week, and using the Ointment freely after the bath. After naing one cake of Soap and two boxes of Ointment I was completely cured, without mark or blemish. I was so plessed I felt like running down the street to tell every one I met what Cuticura had done for me. If any one is in doubt about this, they may write to me. (signed) H. B.
