A CROWDED LIFETIME.

By the d.nt OF decent living. says
The Wall Street Journal. there are
still few people left who saw the
FIRST steamboat, rode In the first
railway cars, listened TO the first
telephone call. read OF the first cable
message across the ocean and saw
heavier.than-air machines swOop
through the atmosphere by their own
power.
The recital OF a few lines OF these
events covering nearly a hundred
years illustrates how full of achieve
ments in mechanical lines the world
has been in the past three genera
lions. The shipping which sprang
from the first steamboat amounts
now to about 25,OoO,OOO of ocean ton
mage. There are not far from 100000
miles OF railway in various parts of
the globe. Submarine cables extend
205 600 nautical miles. Telegraphy
in its various forms has not only
united distant portions OF each coun-
try into a more compact unity. but
has shrunken the distances between
the ends of the earth from thousands
OF miles TO minutes OF time.
These achievements lie almost who'll
ly In the domain OF mans more eX.
act and more complete mastery over
the powers Of physical nature. But
they leave to human life no sub.
stantial resting place. Every increase
In command over material resources
Is but the point OF departure for a
new solution OF the old problems Of
a much more fundamental character
than Is involved In things material.
A century ago isolation and individual.
ity were emphasized as ideals of ex-
istence. The call was back TO ma
ture." Today the demand is different.
The problem Is that Of contact and
cooperation In the solution Of old
problems under new phases.
Man lives now far less unto him.
self and far more with his fellows.
The whole social system Is bent upon
the task OF utilizing these resources
for leveling the mass OF men upward
rather than In the isolation of indi-
viduals Of signal capacity. There is
no doubt some loss of leadership, but
there is much gain In the distribution
and the opportunity for self.realiza-
ton. The lesson that our wealth-get.
tiers need to learn Is that wealth that
does not make for worth is OF doubtful
value. That lifetime is richest which
uses the treasures OF lower things
to rise and to enable others to rise
to higher things.

the work which a summer institute or

President TAFT recently played a
pretty Joke on a considerable number
Of Washington correspondents. He
assembled a score or more OF them
In the cabinet room and then told
them he had sent for them to tell
them that he had no news for them.
IL appears that many Of them had
been seeking interviews with him.
and refusing to take the word OF his
secretary that the President had no
views he cared TO make public. he con-
cluded to send for them and tell them
himself that such was his position.

Il Is a curious physiological fact
that as a nation advances in wealth,
culture. and civilization generally,
the birth rate steadily diminishes.
This is very marked in several coun.
tries. including our own, and now
Germany shows a similar condition.
This decline first affects the wealthy
and leisure class, but in time IL also
affects the masses TO about the same
extent. Fortunately. in some measure
this decline Is Offset by a decline in
the death rate Still the ultimate
result Is smaller families.

Early Prejudice Against Potatoes.
The way Of the potato was said to
have been barred by the prejudice that
it was never mentioned in the Bible.
In the Lothians it came in about
1740, the year Of the famine. from Ire
land, but was confined to gardens till
about 1854. when it was planted In
fields about Aberlady. By the close Of
the century it was a general article Of
diet. Ramsay says that George Hen
derson went about 1850 for a bag of
potatoes to Kilsyth, where the Irish
method of field culture had lately been
tried. and introduced the potato into
Mentieth. where q few had been
known, but only in kale yards. The
old folks, however, did not take kindly
to the new food. Old George Bachop,
one Of the Ochtertyre tenants, when
tod by his wife that she had potatoes
for supper said: "Tatties! Tatties! l
never supped on them a. my days and
Wilma the NIGHT. Gle them to the herd
and get me sowens." It is significant
that Burns, who sings the praises Of
kale and porridge and haggis, should
have nothing to say Of the potato

A Problem In Mathematics.


The town Of Sturgis, In Mississippi,
u the only round square town in ex-
1stence. By legal enactment the circle
has been squared, and the mathemat-
clan may now proceed to calculate the
area Of a square circle. In the laws Of
Mississippi for the year 1885, on page
682, is found the following:
"An act to incorporate the town Of
sturgis, in Oktibbeha county. Missis-
sippi.
Section /. Be it enacted by the
legislature of the state Of Mississippi
that the town Of Sturgis, in the county
Of Oktibbeha, is hereby incorporated
and that the corporate limits Of said
town shall be as follows: Beginning
at the quarter stake in front Of Caleb
Hannah's residence and running 600
yards in every direction, making said
corporate limits 1900 yards square,"
Thus the circle is squared by the SOL
emn declaration Of the law.-Youth's
