- THE OTSW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON. TOPICS OF THE TIMES. The Belgian linro Is the paramount iMue with Homo persons. The empty after-dinner Hpccch Is nn ether thing which cannot be suppress ed by tho voters. That barber who lins gone Into tho pulpit will nnturally hnvo more or less to say to his people about tho "next" -world. Is there no way that tho football players can bo equipped with fendws for the preservation of the American youth? Tho anxiety of European powers to toe "chummy" with this country gener ally seems strongest when they have a fight on hand. By being excommunicated from It Tolstoi has succeeded In letting the world know that there Is such a thing as a Greek church. lUgtlmo iuubIc Is already under the ban. It is a national characteristic to ran popular things Into tho ground and then break them short off. Alfred Vanderbllt knows that no man need bo out of work. Ho had no trou ble In securing his pick of Jobs In tho fflccs of tho New York Central Hall road. About the neatest thing King Oscar of Sweden ever said was that greeting to Americans the other day: "I wel come you as Americans nnd therefore a fellow monarchs." Many men who havo no regard for tho saercdticRB of property will doubt less bo greatly Interested lu a report read before the national prison con Kress ou how to keep out of prison. The plan Is very simple don't do anything wrong. Tho Sultan Mays that It costs him a trlflo over $7,000,000 a year to satisfy tho dress appetite of his harem. This Is perhaps thrown out us a sort of ex planation of why ho does not pay us that little bill. He thinks perhaps that this country Is not ho cruel as to press a man who can hardly clothe his fam ily. "Come back to me," said tho Knnsas City man who found his runaway wife In Chicago, "and you shall have tho privilege of going ou nil extensive shop ping tour." Tltero'B a man who knows femlnlno naturo anil mis. put ins Kiiowieugo to iiniu- W . . . . .,. . . ileal use. Ho deals, not lu abstract theories, but In concrete facts. Of course she went. r Chicago police records show that tho broom handle Is woman's favorite wea pon. In a table compiled by tho Trib une of that city the broom handle comes first with a record of 180 afTrays, against 102 for table knives, 70 for tovo lid lifters and 70 for tho tradi tional rolling plu. Tho hatpin has a core of 55, yet It Is a more dangerous weapon than u table knife or it rolling plu. The explanation Is that women do most of their lighting at homo and sclxo tho weapon nearest at hand. What would Commodore Vanderbllt have thought of all this chatter about Ids great-grandson going to work? The old man put his sou "Illll" to work at au curly age; not lu nn olllco at $3,000 year, either, but hauling manure ou tho Htaten Island farm "ou shares," und thought he was treating him handsome ly nt that. The access of snobbery aluco those days Is by no means con ttued to tho Ynnderhllt family; It ex lends throughout the large and growing cluss of Americans who sneeze every time a young millionaire takes suulT, There may be much sclent llle and lit erary sympathy between nations which are politically um-oiigculnt. There Is a current medical proverb lu Kutopo that when a thing Is verllled ou the banks of tho Spree, as well as ou the banks of the Seine, that Is, when Her Hit and Tarls agree, there must be aomethlng lu It. So much has been added to our knowledge of the physical history of tho race by Mudy and expetl wetits lu Trance and (iermauy, that the proverb Is wot thy to bo remembered when the political relations of the two countries tiro In iuestlon. Moreover, is Jt not best for the world to emphasize the frntcrulKlugs rather than the es trangements of the nations? There Is now a gitNtt deal of talk to the effect that a mail who works for a aalHry Is more dcitcndcut than a man who hits his own business. If there Is one fact that Is clearly established In tills world, Unit fact Is the beuetlceut complete Interdependence of till men. Timidity or soiuo other similar defect of character amy iiiakeauy'iuau, what ever his source of Income, feel like a dependent lu tho unpleasant seuo of that word. Idleness or Incapacity or koine such defect may make a man ac tually a dependent, a recipient of bounty which he has good cause to fear uiay bo withdrawn, Hut tho mail of courage, the man of euergy, capacity and application, Is everywhere his own master. Whether he keeps a shop or works for a shopkeeper, whether he di rects or Is directed by a coriKmitlon, he Is necessarily a free man. Ho gives a valuable bcrvlco lu exchange for Its worth, The Important thing to he considered In all such suhmarlue-bout tests as those which liuve been made recently Uy Auierk-uu aud Kngttsu navies, as ftetSis saiSsSJliSSSsaisaasssssai.-vA-" J?J.-L . ... . .i-J. well as by the nnvy or France. Is the proof they afford of the nioiul elTcct which tbls new factor In warfare may come to huve. Whatever the submarine boat might be able to do In warfare, let Its preseiice lu an enemy's ileet be sus pected and It becomes an unknown fac tor and a factor to be dreaded. Its ac tual capnclty to destroy becomes t da tively of far less Importance than the power which It will exert by Its moral effect. Whatever be Its practical utility, there Is as yet no known nieuus of de fense against its attacks. In n familiar harbor It would menace any blockading squadron with a peril that It would be Impossible to foresee or guard against. It Is for this reason that the British ad miralty has found Itself obliged to un dertake experiments with submarine boats. Until u defense can be fouud against these vessels, tho only way to meet the moral effect of the subrmuliios of another over will be the construc tion of submarines to offset them. In rending the current notices of the birthday celebrations of our centena rians one Is struck by the fact that theso healthy livers are almost Invari ably people In modest circumstances. Kven iho very poor are permitted to live out their hundred yours, while such a tiling as a wealthy centenarian Is olmost unknown. This relation be tween longevity and moderate condi tions of life Is Illustrated by the care fully l.epl statistics of the Incumbents of church livings In England. The 103 clergymen who have occupied the same living for fifty years and upward have dono so on an average Income of 250, or $1,250. In sixteen enscs the Income after fifty years of continuous service was between $380 and $710 a year. Tho moral of this would seem to be that the best assuraucc of reaching a gool old age would be found In the pos session of an Income that makes plain living compulsory, but we doubt wheth er this reflection will have any lullu enco In checking the desire for wealth. It Is even possible that a great many people would prefer a shorter life and a larger Income to the prospect of lon gevity and limited means. We are obliged now to chronicle the fact that a club has been formed lu it near-by city by divorced men who call themselves "Tim Concatenated Order of Has-lleeus." This organization, It Is said, will build a club house and en deavor to attract attention lu various ways, probably having base-ball matches between fat and lean nines se lected from Its membership ami getting up benetlts at theaters ami other places for Itself. It Is dllllcult to he patient with such people. Possibly some of the divorced husbands In tho town were wronged. They may have been Justl tied lu seeking freedom. Hut there can bo no Justltlcatloii for n desire upon tho part o'f any one who Is a divorced man to parade himself us such. Ond zooksl What If the divorced husbands of every city were to form clulis? Where could building sites for business houses be found? Ami If tho divorced men are going to form clubs tho di vorced women will be wanting to do something of tho kind next. That would bo too much! This club busi ness Is being cnrrled too far anyway. It has come to pass that a person who doesn't belong to one or more clubs Is almost n curiosity, and as for society. It Is nothing hut n conglomeration of clubs. There are men's clubs, there are women's clubs, there are eountrv eltths, there nro driving eltibt, wheel clubs, auto clubs, golf clubs, tennis clubs and card clubs of many kinds, lu fact, It seems to have become customary when ever or wnerever two or three are gath ered together, by chance or otherwise, to form a club of some kind. All this must, lu the natural order of things, come to a stop sooner or later. The line must bo drawn somewhere, and wo guess the proper place to draw It Is at tho divorced people's club. The ineiu hers of the divorced men's club should bo nshained of themselves. llustmutlry Is Very Obi. Tho origin of agriculture Is lost lu the mists of uuthiulty. We know that In Neolithic times lu Kurope eight kinds of cereals were cultivated, besides Ihtx, peas, popples, apples, pears, bullace, plums, etc., nt the Mime time various animals were domesticated. Among these weie holies, short-horned oxen, horned sheep, goats, two breeds of pigs and dogs. Prof. W. Itoytl Hawkins hays that evidence goes to show that these animals were not domcMlcntcd lu Ku rope, but probably In the central pla teau uf Asia. He ulxo thinks that agri culture arose In the south and east of i;uroic, and spread gradually to the center, north and west. A hunt lug pop ulation Is often very averse lo evenMie slight amount of work that agriculture requires In a tropical country. Tho same holds good, as a rule, for pastoral communities. In all cases a powerful constraint Is necessary to force thohe peoples Into uncongenial employment. Kate Is stronger than will, ami at vari ous periods lu different climes hunters and herders havo been forced to till tho soil. 1ontlou a (loot! Field Ibr Makers, What to do with our boys?
