When a Man Retires.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Successful American business and profess
sional men usually die in the harness. Most
of them do not, merely from motives Of
avarice, continue to pile up moneys after
they have made fortunes. The ingrained
habits formed by a lifetime's work in
one field are exceedingly hardin many
cases impossibe>-to break Most men also
find it difficult to imagine what they should
do with themselves after they retired. They
fear they would be burden to themselves
and a bore to everybody else
There are, however, many things which
business or professional men who retire
while still vigorous can do TO make the lat
ter end of their lives pleasant and to rem
der themselves useful to themselves and to
their communities. They can read. The
average man, during his busy years, hardly
takes a glimpse into the better books. IL
he should reserve some of his later years to
get acquainted with the great kingdom Of
the intellect he might add much to the
pleasure of his life. The retired business
or professional man can travel. Like
Diocletian, after he quit the throne of the
Roman empire he can grow cabbages. Te
can contribute needed wisdom to philan-
thropic and charitable enterprises
But the man who counts on retiring when
he has secured a substantial competency
and leading thereafter life agreeable to
himself useful to others should make
preparation for the change. He must keep
at least on speaking acquaintance through
out youth and middle life with the great
world outside his avocation. The money
grubber who has not lifted his nose from
his ledger for forty years will get little
pleasure at sixty from Hawthorne, or Mac
aulay, or Tennyson, or Shakespeare, or
Herbert Spencer or Plato. He will get
equally little satisfaction from travel for,

AMERICAN PIDG1N ENGLISH.
How We Will Talk When Commerce
Extends to China.

From the Brooklyn Eagle
Since the Japanese have begun to take
such an active part In the affairs of ma
lions the attention Of Americans has been
Fdrawn closer than ever before to the
orient, In the event that Japan succeeds
In keeping Russia out of Manchuria the
long-talked-of open door, in China will

seem that the English-speaking merchants
would be handicapped In their trade with
China on account Of the many dialects
that are spoken in that country. But these
difficulties have been removed long ago.
for fourishing trade has been carried
on with the fiowery kingdom by the Eng
l1sh for many years. In order to make
themselves understood the English mer-
chants have adopted 1argon known as
Pidgin English, which is readily under

sion to do business with the Brittshers or
Americans.

Financial Outlook.

The current number of the Financial Re-

says: The past two weeks can be noted as
an era of rather speculative campaign for
the Washington market ana something out
of the ordinary. Several properties showed
their accessibility to being easily advanced,
and the opportunity was not lost. The ease
of money and demand from unusual sources
for 4 per cent first-class investments put
more than usual life into the August mar
ket. AS far as can be learned mercantile
borrowing is only nominal, while collateral
commitments are hardly up to the average.

A SCARED EDITOR.

The editor OF tho Town Talk Is scared. Listen
to what he says:
"The yellow peril is not to be laughed at by
the Caucasian race. There are about 100000 900
of the Chinese and Japanese. Suppose the Jap
anese or Russians should assist IN armng and
drilling the men that could be drafted into the
army by China. There would be millions of them,
and a. they are brave and fearless they might
wipe out of existence the white race. 1t should
not be forgotten that in ages past civilized nations
Of both Asia and Europe have been destroyed by
Mongolians, the same race of the human family as
the japanese and Chinese. The MongoIans from
time immemorial have been the most crue! Of all
the races, and in China to-day they have cruel
modes of physical punishment unknowH and
Impractical by other RACES of men. There is
nothing more abtect in this world than China
man when he is the under dog, but give him the
way and the means and he Is human devil. We
hope that the yellows viii never prevail over the
white race, because if they do the world will be
hades incarnate and the brotherhood of man will
fall asleep forever. It must not be forgotten
that great many of the Russians arc Mongolians.
and this is true Of Turkey also. The uniting of
all the Mongolians against the Caucasian races of
the world, with equal arms and drilling. would
mean bloody war such as the world has never
seen. =

A HEAVY PUBLIC DOCUMENT.

They are having much sport It the Department
of State at Washington over an inelastic provision
of law which requires the department to compile
and issue in separate volume the statutes enact
ed at each session of Congress. The special
session Of las November enacted only one measure,
joint resolution providing for the payment OF
mileage to the members. This rs bound up, how
ever. in tlignifed little volume by itself with as
muchIelaboration as if it were collection Of budget
bills and general legislation. That simply is a
straw that shows what the Republican administra-
ton will do when it makes up its mind to get
busy on any old subject. 1t calls an extra
session of Congress and has it in session for a
month without single result.
Not one thing of benefit to the people and at a
cost to them of over two hundred thousand dol
lars. That is the way the Republicans conserve
interests of the people. Bats
