RIT1SII aristaoracy is said to be shucked Ikh'rum1 the grand
son of tho Duke of liuekiiiKlmm, himself the bearer of an
independent title, is to marry the daughter of a village
blacksmith. However, the aristoeruey irobL.y will bear up.
for it is well aware that the thing v'hich distinguishes it from all
other aristocracies, and to which it chiefly owes its strength and
permanence, is the fact that it ii replenished in the manner here
revealed.
It is the only aristocracy in Europe that is thus replenished,
and it is the only one speaking largely that has endured.
Lord Chesterfield, who was of its tinest flower, though chief
ly remembered today as a ready letter writer, was a Stanhope,
and proud enough of it as we know. Rut among the portraits of
the Stanhopes in his hall lie hung the pictures of an old man
and an old woman, and under them he wrote "Adam Stanhope"
and "Eve Stanhope."
He was wiser than that French aristocrat who said that God
would think twice before condemning a man of his quality.
The 'British aristocracy of birth perished in the war of York
and Lancaster, and the aristocracy that succeeded it which is
the one we know today is increasingly an aristocracy of worth
at least of success. Its roots are of middle class origin. It is
constantly re-enforced from that class. The roster of the house
of lords is largely the roster of British business, fortified by solid
additions from the the big prize winners in the learned profes
sions and from the realm of letters.
This process began early enough to save the British aristoc
racy from the fate that overtook that of France. It was going
on as far back to the time when Iuiis XV refused to invite the
French men of letters to bistable. When Mine Tompadour
tried to found a salon at Versailles the king made the only suc
cessful fight he ever put up against that high-handed lady. The
French aristocracy would have nothing to do with brains and
nothing to do with business. The result was that when the
deluge came brains and business were arrayed on the other side.
If they had been given a stake in the state, as happened in Eng
land, they might have saved that order that went to the guilo
tine, or even more ignobly passed from French history as em
igres crouching hidden under loads of straw. Kansas City Star.

THE SLACKER LIST.

KEEP IT UP
HE East Oregonian believes that the so-called slacker list;
should be published but that extreme care should be taken1
not to work injustice on innocent men. Many instances!
have been found where men listed as deserters were not en-1
titled to that stigma. They had enlisted in the service, some-!
times they had been killed or wounded in action. It is easy to :
understand how such things could occur, where so many names i
are. involved. Now it is a serious thing to be posted as a desert- 1
er to one's country and this newspaper does not share the view'
that it will be easy to correct mistakes if mistakes are made, j

The president is not talking so much these days about for
eign entanglements and it is a good sign. The peace and pros
perity of the world cannot be restored except through united
action by the chief civilized powers. It is absolutely imperative
that Uncle Sam do his part. It looks like our present adminis

never have been unearthed had it not
been for eooldontul observation ef odd
looking circular patches ef weeds
which grew mucft higher thk weeds
of the same kind around aboet. These
patches, scatteretl over a wide area,
indicated a soil that was moistcr and
more' fertile. Why7 To find out, the
ethnologists dug into one of them, and
found that beneath it there hsd once
been a deep hole fourteen feet in
diameter.
Sulitcrrnncnn Kitchens
Further excavation developed the
fact that the hole had been a. numan
dwelling. Circular In shape, It con
taloeel a hearth for cooking, a flat
stone for grinding corn to meal, va
rious utensils and implements, nnd
other things Indicating long occu
pancy. . l-iight tall posts had supported
a roof high enough to riso three, foot
abov the ground level, nnd in the
middle of which was probably nsort
of hatchway, a notched ladder serv
ing for enirancp nnd exit.
It Is supposed that the sides between
tho roof nr.el the ground were niade
wesfbertight by wattling daubf!
with cluv or hanked with earth. Tiiu.
h" finished dwe'llnfr had the nppear-
the.se houseevere uncovered, 11 of
them substantially alike In pattern,
except that few were evidently
kltciens, each of them designed for
the use of several families, wllh half-a-dozen
or more heariuj tnd a coi re
sponding numbsr of meal-grinding
stones, so that a number of women
could cfc,!; or prepar material for
bread nt tho name tire.e.
It would bo most Inlet es'.ltiE to know
what peopla these wore who dwelt In
the undarground vllkige. Presumably
they had'titfeer towsj ifl that region,
built m the same fatihietu but If so,
time han effaced surfeo 1pn of thorn
so elT'Stu.lly that they arc llkty uevcr
to be dlseevered. Tho one here de
scribe had for Its most remarkable
feature a it of great size, eighty-four
feet In diameter, which was undoubt
edly an amphitheatre for dances nnd
ceremonials nf a religious character,
its bottom beltiR encircled by a bench
of earth for the seating of spectators.
South of the Itlark Sen nd north
of tho Taurus Mountnins, In Asia
Minor, (here Is a lofty and rugged
plateau which In prehistoric times was
the scene of tremendous volcanic ac
tivity. Itiirning mountains over
whelmed tho whole region with floods
of volcanic mud, which, hardening
Into rock, has In Ihe neighborhood of
Mount Argaeus given lo the landscape
a most extraordinary aspect, owing to
subsequent erosion. The "weathering"
action of walcr and wind has there,
over a wiile area, produced an effect
vvolrd In the last degree, hundreds of
siuare miles being covered w'tn fon
leal pinnacles which rather strikingly
reii-inhle tho glganlla nnlhilki built
by termites In the African tropic,

Cireat numbers of these "anthills"
have been occupied since prehistoric

. vrliild with clay. More thn 10(1 nfjlng soft enough to make it an easy
matter to dig them out Inside with
pick and shovel, and convert them
Into houses which In many dnstancee
have several floors, each story having
windows. There Is, of course, a doer
at the ground level, and a sort of tun
nel slanting upward serves in ijru et
a staircase, by which to ascend or de
scend. On entcrlnp or. o? these "anthill"
houses, the visitor finds himself In a i
spacious room with shelves ot stone I
cut In thu walls, end very decently (
furnished wllhal. There o-e ruir.i e

Many of tho cones are occupiod by ,
people who are doubtless the dueot 1
descendants of ancient lnhablte.nl. j
They are believed to have been te :
anted by the lllttltcs a thousand route
before King Solomon was borr MQ ,
it Is likely that their history as ip
man habitations dates much further
back.
In the northernmost Island of the
Japanese archipelago there dwell
aboriginal tribes cf hairy people who
call themselves the Ainu. The Jap
anese call them "enrlh spiders," hi
cnui"e In former limes they dwelt un
derground, and even at tho present day
many of them occupy subterranean
houses. '
Wherever In the world plt-dwellera
are found, their villages date back to
a remote antiquity. It Is so In North
ern China, Likewise in America,
where subterranean towns seem an
ciently to have eilsled all along the
west const from the Aleutian Islands
lo Central America. There Is such
viMage, long ego deserted. In th
neighborhood of Cape Trlnoe, of
Wales, on the Alaskan side of Bering
Strait; and even now the natives ot
Tlerra del Fuego, at the southern ex
tremity of the continent, make their
homes In holes In the ground. . -
