The German Crown Prince has
reached the stage that all Crown
Priuces, however docile and sedate,
reach sooner or later. A woman is the
chief factor in the uffalr, and the young
man, feeling that the demands of the
heart should have first consideration, is
prepared to renounce his rank and his
claim to the throne. "We predict, all the
same, that he will be kept on the royal

Among the apothegms recently deliv

object, no protest may be looked for
from that quarter, but as men and
brethren and not spittoons Mrs. Na

we may say that her decision Is receiv

"Alice," aged 1C, who has invested iu
a dream book, wants to know if the
editor believes In "signs and omens?"
Certainly. For instance: It is an ill
omen when you note the propinquity
of a live electric wire, to come into too
close touch with It. Falling In front of
an approaching automobile ls a sure
Indication of bad luck. An accident is
almost certain to follow. It ls a well
known fact that persons who have
swallowed poison have premonitions of
approaching disaster. An accident of
this kind may be taken as a ba 1 sign.

Jumping from an express train going at

Should you by any means monkey with

quaintanceship with the business end
of a mule. O, yes, Alice, we believe In
signs and omens. But they must be

of disappointment.

Men with Small Capital.
It has been objected by some that tech
nical education should not be fostered
with public funds because the fields for
its employment are being rapidly pre
empted by the trusts and gigantic com
bination, of capital in manufacturing and
other productive technical industries.
Frequently we are told that the man
who has only skill and small capital is
being put out of the way of business and
success by the overshadowing combines.

We find from the census that in 18IK)
there were u.tt"7 manufacturing estab

were 1U.2D3 in l'JIHJ. or an increase of
nearly 100 per cent. But the average
amount of capital to the establishment
was 2o per cent less in WOO than in

found chances to invest their brains, skill
and small capital in good enterprises.
The trusts do uot own all those nearly

As a young man. Gates was selling
hardware for Isaac L. El wood, when
bar led wire was Just beginning to lie
rsed for fencing; and he erected the
first corral in the State of Texas. He
soon decided that there was more
money to lie made In the manufacture
of wire than by selling It on a salary,
and with some friends bought three
barbed wire machines and started a
factory on a total Investment of less
than f b.000. The business proved very
protable and they soon started another
small factory. Here tbey made so
much money that tbey declared divi
dends of about 50 per cent per week.
Gates seemed to be the entire working
force. He traveled, sold the wire, came
back. Invoiced It. billed It. painted it,
marketed It. and collected the money.

Carelessness in Behavior.
The traditional freedom and natural
ness of American social relations have a
charm and a value when under proper
training they are made to promote in both
boys and girls mutual respect and unaf
fected modesty. Doubtless, too. that un-

' haT' dencrated.' They will act and
seak in the presence of women in a way
that would not have been tolerated a gen
eration ago. and young women who nre
unquestionably without evil intent will
conduct themselves as no woman could
have done a few years ago without seri
ous damage to her reputation.
There is evidently need of a revival of
the unfashionable art of bringing up chil
dren. Boys and girls are growing up to
be lawless. Lacking respect for author
ity and conventions, they easily lose re
spect for the virtues which authority anil
conventions seek to guard. Laxity in
homes and schools, contact under unfa
vorable conditions of young men and
women in business life, the rush, self
ishness and bad manners of our crowded
streets, shops and public conveyances,
all tend to the destruction of that good
breeding which commands respect and
nurtures modesty. New York Tribune.
Hydrophobia Scares.
There is no special hydrophobia season.
Id the hot mouths dogs suffer from in
tense heat and are liable to heat stroke,
especially if they be unable to obtain
water. No doubt the so-called rabid
dogs are often the 'victims of other dis
orders; but the germs of rabies are ro
more active and general in summer than
in winter. Although 'this fact has been
presented to the public rejieatedly, every
dog which is nut plainly in good health
in July and August is pursued to its
death by police and public.
It is almost certain that the popular
fallacies about mad dogs and hydrophobia
have killed more persons than has hydro
phobia itself. I'airly sensible persons
when bitten by a cross dog often become
panic stricken and die iu great agony
after exhibiting many of the alleged
symptoms of hydrophobia, although the
dog in each ease may have been free of
rallies. A typical instance was that of a
Chicago woman whose malady was diag
nosed by two doctors as hydrophobia.
After her death the dog which bit her

tirely well. Intelligent people in every
community should stoutly combat everv
mad dog scare. Instead of bavins an al

Prospect of Longevity.
Timid people and pessimists are Inclin
ed to fear that the progress of invention
is Increasing the dangers of accideut and
disease to such an extent that human life
must necessarily be shortened. This fear
appears to be groundless. Collected sta
tistics show that the average duration of
human life is steadily increasing. Some
interesting and striking facts along this
line are presented in a recent rejiort of
the Chicago board of health. The aver
age duration of life has increased in a
third of a century from fourteen years
to more than thirty-one years. Exclusive
of suicides, deaths from violence have de
creased fi.3 per cent. Deaths from rail
way and car accidents have decreased
more than 5 per cent. Since the partial
abolition of railways on grade and the
introduction of fenders on cars, six years
ago, deaths from this source have de
creased 12.C per cent. San Francisco
