AN American who recently saw Max
Nordau in a cafe in Paris, says Of him |:
"No wonder he abuses everybody, for
he is the very qnintessential figure Of
gall and bitterness. He is small and
malicious, and as hairy as a monkey.
His eyes are large, and when he is not
glazing at Ibsen, Wagner and Maeter-
linck, they are fine and rather sad in
expression"

The Springer Stockpsan is probably
quiue TOO previous in It's declaratIon
that the Las Vegas OPTIC threatens to
support the democratic nominees this
fall, but surely the OPTIC, which has
openly repudiated the Mckinley Hanna
gold platform, will be in q fix In case
the approaching republican convention
at Las Vegas stands BY that platform.
And if it doesn't, then the Albuquerque
Citizen is the republican organ that will
be at a disadvantage all through the
campaign. Somebody has got to eat
crow, whichever way the republican
middle terminates.

WORKING FOR Paw.
Are We Making Progress Toward ,EqualS
y u Opportunity?

Are We Mailing Progress Toward, Equa2l-
y u Opportunity7
Taking the whole number of persons
engaged in all remunerative or gainful
occupations, / find that in 1860 such
persons constituted &c. / 9 per cent Of the
whole population. In 1870 this percent
age had increased to 80. 43, in 1880 to
"a. IS, while in 1890 it was SO. 81, an
increase Of more than 10 per cent, rela-
lively, in one generation, the period
from 1860 to 1890. This, it should be
borne in mind, is the percentage of the
total number Of persons engaged in
gainful occupations Of the total popula-
ton. If we examine now the percent
age which this total number of persons
engaged in all gainful occupations is of
the persons 10 years of age and over,
which is the truer comparison, we find
that the increase has been as regular,
but little greater. for in 1860 it was
SO. 70 and in 1890 1875, an increase Of
over / per cent, relatively, in the 80
years named. This fact alone, it seems
to me. answers conclusively and def
nitely the question we are considering. II
the total number of persons engaged in
gainful occupations stood still relative
to the population, the argument would
not be SO clearly carried, but with q
constant and persistent increase in the
relative proportions of this class of peo-
pie to the whole number Of population,
and to the whole number 10 years Of
age and over, there can be no other an
swer than an affirmative one.
These figures prove conclusively that
we are not only making real progress
toward a greater opportunity, but to-
ward greater equality Of opportunity
in social and industrial life, and they
completely kill all arguments made to
prove that machinery, the influence Of
invention, displaces labor, SO far as So
ciety as a whole is concerned. 1t would
be absurd to argue for single moment
that the introduction of machinery has
not in many instances displaced indi-
viduals and reduced them not only to
relative poverty but to pauperism. The
answer cannot we'll be made to the in
dividual, but the facts cited prove that
SO far as the whole body of the people
is concerned there is no such displace-
ment, and study of the expansive in
fluence of machinery and invention by
the statistical method further proves the
value of the argument. The vast num-
Der of new openings, never before
known, resulting from inventions, offers
the best proof in this direction, and it
offers, too, proof that one line of oppor-
tunity will be abandoned when another
of a more profitable nature opens.

No work on horticulture makes men,
ton OF this interesting shrub, which
rarely attains large size, but is mainly
restricted to number Of small cuttings.
The pawnbroking trade is where the
cultivation is carried on. An unscrupu.
lous pawnbroker having had certain dia-
mond ornaments intrusted to his safe
keeping for awhile is the gardener, and
it is in the arid atmosphere of his work
shop that the work Of propagation will
be observed.
A piece Of jewelry in which diamonds
are set is carefully examined, and stones

The removed stones are in turn ex-
changed for others from another article
again, an imperceptible shade bigger,
until at last the original cutting has de-
veioped quite respectable growth and d.
mansions. 1t is not wise to force the
growth to too great an extent, and SO
the original process is being continually
repeated.
The beauty Of the operation lies in the

LONG ISLAND LOSING ITS TAIL.
Inroads of the Sea Causing Alarm to Pro-
erty Owners at Orient Point.

Inroads Of the Sea Causing Alarm to Prop
erty Owners at Orient Point.
Long Island, which looks on the map
like big fish about to swallow New
York city, is apparently being slowly
swallowed by the ocean. Portions of its
shores have disappeared beneath the
waves, and now the northern fork of its
huge tail is vanishing. About two miles
of Orient point, that formed sandy
beach two years ago, is now under 10
feet Of water. The lighthouse on the
point was six rods from the sea q few
years ago. 1t has since been toppled over
by the sea, and only small part Of the
surrounding beach is visible.
The bluffs on both the sound and the
bay side Of Orient point have been sink
ing at the rate of about 10 or I2 feet q
year. The same state of affairs is true
of Montauk point, but there the bluffs
jut up SO abruptly and SO high above
the sea that the rising of the water is
not SO noticeable. A rise of foot OF
two on the low shores near Peconic bay
will submerge acres of land. Much of
the threatened land ON Orient point
forms fertile farms, and the steady adj
vance of the shore line is causing no
small concern to the owners The water
has in several places found its way
across low spot on the point from the
sound to the bay. The result will be to
ultimately divide the peninsula into q
series of small islands, similar to Plum,
Little Gull and Great Gull islands, all
Of which were doubtless once a part of
the mainland and were cut off by the
rise of the sea. The village of Orient is
situated in q particularly narrow and
low portion Of the peninsula, and the
next serious inroad of the ocean will
probably occur there. In that case z, 1000
acres of land and village of 200 peo-
pie will have to be abandoned
