Two Recent Inventions.

The varied trend of mems minds is
well illustrated by the recent invention
of two policeman's billies, one of which
contains knife blades that shoot out from
the interior if the prisoner grasps the in
strument. while the other is fitted with a
rubber cap to prevent the infection Of
unnecessary pain. President Angel of
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals prefers the latter.-Boston

said to Have Lived West of the Rhine
and North OF the Alps.
When they first come before Us in
the historic record they are dwelling
in the western parts Of Spain and
Gaul and are isolated from the rest
Of the European peoples by broad
! band Of Celtic tribes extending from
the region north Of the Loire and
east OF the Cevennes, through the
half Of Spain bordering the Mediter
ranean as far to the south as Cadiz.
says the Fortnightly Review The
relative positions Of these two races
in Europe mark their relative anti
putty, and the fact that the Iberian
frontier, placed BY the early Greek
writers at the Rhone, had in Caesars
time been pushed westward to the
Ceyennes proves that the Iberian
was a race in retreat before the in
vading Celt
They are not only non-Aryan but
pre-Aryan, and yielded to the pres.
sure Of Aryan tribes coming in on the
north and the east. As might be
expected. the conquerors and the
yanquished were fused together, con
stltuttng in Spanish the powerful
nation of the Celt-Iberians Of CASTLE.
and in Gaul being known to the
Greeks as the Mixed Iberians."
Thus far history serves us. Wemust
now trust to the archaeological record
to guide US through the darkness Of
the remote prehistoric past to their
ancient position in Europe.
The Iberic race is proved, By num-
erous discoveries on the continent In
the ancient tombs and habitations, to
have occupied the whole Of the region
west of the Rhine and north OF the
Alps and as far as the extreme south
OF Spain in the period Of the history
Of civilization known as the Neolithic.
This conclusion is confirmed in a
remarkable manner by the examina-
tion Of the words for cutting tools in
the Basque districts in the Pyrenees.
The Basque for ak is aizcora (aitz,
alta, atcha, a stone, and CORA, high,
lifted-up stone, mounted in a handlel,
for pick, aitzurra, aitz and urra. 20
tear asunder. For knife we have AIT
toa (aitz, with diminutive), little
stone, and for scissors aizturrac
(aiztto, little stones and urral.
In this set Of words, now applied to
cutting tools made Of steel, we have
proof that the tools were made Of
stone at the time they received their
names, or. in other words, that the
ancestors Of the Basques were in the
Neolithic stage Of culture. They
point back to time when the Iberic
dialects were spoken by the tribes
occupying the whole OF the continent
from the Rhine to Gibraltar.

A Sweeping Arraignment of the Northern

New YORK, Feb. 18.-The report of
the special committee appointed at a
meeting of stockholders, October 3Oth,
to investigate the affairs of the Northern
Pacific company, was issued this after
noon. 1t furnishes financial aensa-
ton. Seldom has there been 30 severe
an arraignment of the men in authority
in the management of corporation,
substantiated by proved dcfectu.
Accompanying the report is state
ment addressed to the stockholders OF
the company, which says: "We believe
q careful reading of the enclosed report
will convince the stockholders that the
record of the present managers is not
such as to justify an extension, much
less an increase of confidence" ei
The report in part says: 1.-THE pres-
ent deplorable financial condition of the
Northern Pacific company is due, more
than to any other one cause to its as
sumption of the burdens Of the Wiscon-
sin Central syatem. Given an honest
and intelligent management there ia no
good ground for believing that the
Northern Pacific road will eventually
justify the hopes of its projectors and
reward the patience of its long.suffer-

BERLIN GOSSIP.

A Review of the Political Affairs at the
German Capital.
BERLIN, Feb. 1S.-The action OF the
army bill committee in rejecting the
two-years' service clause by no means
finally settled the question at issue. The
government relies upon the fact that
the two-years' term is so much approved
by the mass of electors that they will
not permit the reichstag to reject it.
The opposition offer two-years' term if
made permanent. In the meantime
popular agitation in favor of the army
bill is becoming acute throughout the
empire. An enthusiastic meeting of
representatives of art, science and in
dustry in Berlin adopted resolutions de-
manding that the reichetsg effect an
agreement with the government on the
army bill. Similar resolutions were
adopted at meetings in all the chief
industrial centers of Germany.
The revolt of the Agrarian party in
the reichstag and Landtag against Ca
privi's commercial treaties policy is
violent, but so far without practical re-
suit. The debatss in parliament were
the prelude to great agricultural con-
gress which opened today in Berlin. In
resolutions adopted the reichstag is
urged to refuse assent to further reduc-
tions in customs duties, while bearing
in mind the expediency of fostering ex-
portations of German produce. In spite
of the Agrarian opposition, Caprivi will
not abandon the Russian convention
now on the verge of conclusion. 1t is
question, therefore, of the relative
strength the chancellor and agrarians.
