Basque Is a Lonely Tongue Still.

The question, Who are the Basques?
that mysterious people who give their
name to the bay of Biscay, is always
cropping up, and Professor Won der Ga
belentz has recently endeavored to show
that the Basque language belongs to the
African Berber family Of speech for ex-
ample, the Kabyle and Taureg. His ev-
idence, however, only amounts to few
culture words being identical in the
Basque and Berber languages and GER
tain analogies in the laws of phonetic
change. Moreover, he assumes that the
Basques and Iberians were the same peo-
pie.
But, as Canon Isaac Taylor points out,
the Iberian tongue, according to our
highest authorities, was different from
the Basque, and the French Basques are
a different race from the Spanish
Basques, who are feebler people of the
Iberian type. If we assume that the

THE coLoas OF THE EARTH.
How They Affect the Light That Our
Planet Gives to the Moon.

How They Affect the Light That Our
Planet Gives to the Moon.
The wonderful difference between the
same landscape in winter and in summer
is phenomenon familiar to all dwellers
in the temperate zones. The two great
elements of change are the presence of
snow in winter and of leaves and grass
in summer. If we could look at our
globe from the moon, the variation in
its aspect due to seasonal changes would
perhaps be even more striking than it
appears to those upon its surface.
In fact, we sometimes lose sight of the
very important part which vegetation
plays in giving color to what might be
called the countenance of the planet.
1t is not the highest forms of plants
that always produce the greatest effect
in this way. Some of the most striking
scenes upon the earth owe their charac-
teristic features to MOSES and ichens.
The famous crimson cliffs" of Green
land, which extend for miles northward
from Cape York, derive their splendid
color from the growth of red ichen
which covers their faces.
The cliffs rise between 1,700 and 1000
feet straight from the waters edge, and
being composed of gray granite their
aspect would be entirely different from
what it is but for the presence of the
lichen.
Coming to less magnificent, but not
less beautiful scenes, the rocky pass
called the Golden Gate in the Yellow
stone National park owes its rich color
and its name to the yellow lichen cover
ing it's lofty walls, and the indescribable
hues of the great hot spring terraces
arise mainly from the presence of minute
plants fourishing in the water that over
flows them.
Considered as whole, the vegetation
of planet may give it a characteristic
aspect as viewed from space. Many have
thought that the red color of Mars may
be due to the existence of red instead of
green vegetation there.
That its broad expanses of forest and
prairie land cause the earth to reflect a
considerable quantity of green light to
its neighbors is indicated by the fact
that at the time of the new moon a
greenish tint has been detected over
spreading that part of the lunar surface
which is then illuminated only by light
from the earth.-Youth's Companion.

Numerous tests have been made of the

very satisfactory. The wash is very

has proven wonderfully beneficial, and

A WOMAN'S FEELINGS.

Love is so closely allied to war that
its fullest expression is an appeal TO
arms.
Most men are attracted to their men
tai equals; most women TO their mental
superiors.
A woman's love for strong, chival'
rous man moves and controls him more
than does his love for her.
II an American strikes woman he
knows that he commits moral suicide,
and moral suicide is opposed to his
racial instincts.
1t is far easier, il not more natural,
for q man to love all mankind than to
be permanently devoted and loyal to
single woman.
When a woman says that she Is afraid
of particular man, ii is covert, per-
haps an unconscious confession that she
Is strangely drawn TO him.
When a woman tires Of a man she has
once truly loved there is reason to be-
lieve he has outraged her affections and
wounded her Utmost self-esteem.
Women have no fear Of marriage, be-
cause they are so occupied in imagining
the happiness 1t may bring them that
they never think OF the possible misery
1t includes.
Not a few men are so abnormally sus-
ceptible to love in their first youth as to
exhaust their capacity for loving before
they have reached an age to love with
discretion.
Some women are so devoted to the
man they love that they become selfish
to others in his behalf, demanding Of
them what he is unentitled to, and what
they have no right to claim.
A great many men are without fear Of
any other man. They are grandly in
trepid. But lives there man who is
not in dread OF some woman? The high
est herOism has its limitations.
The man who, after studying hun
dred women, thought he knew the sex
thoroughly, admitted, on intimate ac-
quintance with the hundred and first,
that he was densely ignorant of the ma
ture of any one OF them.
Nearly every man is managed by some
woman, consciously or unconsciously on
the part of the man. The men who are
unconscious Of such MANAGEMENT and
would resent the intimation are the
most managed of all.
Any man or any woman may, contra
ry TO received opinion, live TO ripe age
without loving or being loved in ro-
mantle sense. We are no more prsdes-
tfned m romantic love than we are To
the smallpox or any other disease.

The change that takes place in the
National Government at Washington
to-day is almost as important in its per-
sonal as in its political aspects. The
incoming President and his Cabines are
all men Of positive characters and pro-
nounced convictions. There will be no
hesitation or effort at evasion on the
part of the administration in the face
Of any question il may be called upon to
meet. IL is composed OF men who will
lead the party in all its policies, and un-
der such leadership the Democracy has
always been strongest
The ad administration, which retires, on
the contrary, has governed through ex-
pedlents by timid and uncertain men.
Mr.. HARRISON himself occasionally has
shown frmness. or, rather, stubborn
ness. but these occasions have always
been whes personal matters were under
consideration. He has never displayed
an ability for leadership in politics. He
has been surrounded by shifty, uncer-
tain politicians as Cabinet officers,
whose beliefs when expressed went for
naught with the country. The one
notable exception in this category was
the late JAMES G.. BLAINE, VINO
left the administration. Mr.. HAIR
RIsoN's Cabinet, with this excep-
ton, at no time possessed
one personality that has made an i'm
preston anywhere in the Union. On
the other hand. every name on Mr..
CLEvELAND's list is that of an agrees
sive. forceful parsonage who has count
ed for something and for something
good in public life.
The country gladly welcomes the
change. Such men as compose the new
administration have been the only sue
cessful leaders of the American people.
Mr.. CLEVELAND has surrounded him
self with men like himself.
