tance behind the French. The Russian
ranks sixth in the consumption of spir-
Its, and he drinks one-thirtieth as much
beer as the Englishman. He also uses
so little wine that not even an estimate
is obtainable of how much he does
drink.
Should an American, an Englishman,
a Frenchman, an Austrian, a German,
an italian and Russian sit down to
table together and order drinks in
quantity that would show the relative
consumption of these beverages by
their respective peoples, some would
get enough for bath, while others
would obtain only few swallows. II
they should take tea, for instance, the
Englishman would find himself con-
fronted with 1900 cups, the American
with 400, the Russian with 275, the
German with 3G, the Austrian with 20.
the Frenchman with 18 and the Italian
with only l.
If the tea should prove unsatisfac-
tory and the party order beer, the Eng
lishman again would prove himself
the heaviest drinker He would be
found to rank considerably ahead of
the German, who is generally supposed
to swallow most of this beverage He
would get 175 glasses, while the Ger
man would take $50, the Austrian 100.
the American 90, the Frenchman 67,
the Russian 5 and the Italian only !.
In case the weather should turn sud
denly cold and the little assemblage de-
cided that something hot would be
better and every one order spirits,
the Austrian would then outclass all
the others. Nevertheless he would not
distance his rivals to any great extent.
1t would be found that liquor suits the
taste of the various drinkers far more
evenly than any of the other beverages
ordered. The Austrian would, for ex-
ample, take glasses, the German
G. the Frenchman i. the American,
the Englishman and the Russian 4
though the Americans glasses would
contain trifie more than the English
mans, and the Englishman's "a Bit
more than the Russian's), while the
italian would satisfy himself with 1.
Should the liquor prove too hot with
out weaker drink afterward and all
agree ON wine for their farewell toasts
the Frenchman would then "outswal-
low" his companions. His order would
call for 100 glasses. while the italian
would content himself with "a, the
Austrian with II, the German with 6,
the American with ~ glasses and the
Englishman with /.
If at the end of this convivial scene
the party should think some coffee
would steady their nerves, the Amer
lean would at last be found In the
lead. He would ask for 60 cups, while
the German would order SO, the
Frenchman 21, the Austrian 10, the
italian O. the Engllshman and the
Russian only New York Tribune.

Nothing wrona ON HI. side.

The man had been grumbling steadily
for half an hour to his seat mate. whom
he had never seen before. He had
-rumbled about business, politics, war,
peace, vacations, church, children, rail-
roads, schools, farms, newspapers and
that unfailing scapegoat-the weather.
The man beside him had borne all
that seemed necessary and at last be-
thought him Of a way to silence the
grumbler, IL such thing was possible.
"Are your domestic relations agree
able?" he asked suddenly, turning an
inquisitive gaze on his companion.
Eyes, they are" snapped the grum-
bier, "ft's my wifes relations that
make all the trouble"

Should some women need encourage
ment they may learn with interest
that men are rather apt to be vain and
that it is enough sometimes to be
good listener in order to be q most
successful hostess. The following
typical anecdote proves this. Gomber-
vile, the old courtier, somewhat Of a
poet, too, was known to be paying a
deal of attention to certain lady Of
the hotel de Rambouillet. One day
some one had this conversation with
him:
"You are the cavalier servant Of

IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY.
The Peculiar Language and Odd Cus-
toms of the People.


or the strange scenes and customs Of
the Basque country traveller writes:
81 was struck by the way the women
walked and carried themselves. A fat
old woman with n huge tray OH her
head walked along at swinging pace,
shouting her wares meanwhile ut the
top of her voice. l saw n woman car
rying ON her head first of all large
tray of fruit dts size can be imagined
when ] tell you that it was afterward
her stalD. On the top of this were
basket of washing and big umbrella
to be used to cover the stall. Then in
her left hand she carried q supple
mentary stall, and by the other she
led n little child which could just reach
the mothers hand by holding its own
up as high as 1t could stretch.
II was waiting once ut little way
side inn In the village Of Ascain when
saw an old lady. followed by two
great fat white pigs. They ell three
waddled over TO the village pump, and
then, procuring some water in a pail,
the old lady proceeded to wash her
charges. She cleaned them most as
siduously-eyes, ears, tail. back, hind
quarters and feet.
There is dignity Of carriage about
all the women In this country. fam
cied 1t might be due to the fact that
formerly. before the Code Napoleon
came into operation, the law obliged
the firstborn, whether boy or girl, to
inherit the patrimony and continue the
head Of the family, the husband taking
the wife's name when the inheritor was
a woman. thus giving the woman q
perfect equality from her birth. The
matrons are not less beautiful than the
younger women.
"Quite unlike any other language is
that OF the Basques. Although when
hearing the people talk Spanish sound
seems to be occasionally emitted, 1t Is
not really ut all like Spanish. was

Different wax. of Putting II.

This is a scientific way: "If man
falls asleep In the sitting posture with
his mouth open his jaw drops. The
tongue not being in contact with the
hard palate, the succotorlal space is
obliterated, the soft palate no longer
adheres to the roof Of the tongue, and
IL respiration be carried on through
the mouth the muscular curtain begins
10 vlbrate." And this is the popular
form: ''If n man doesn't keep his
mouth shut when asleep he will snore."

NATIONS AND DRINKS
A VAST DIFFERENCE IN THE USE OF
CERTAIN BEVERAGES.
America and Russia Are Widely
Apart hn the Consumption of Cof-
fee-How Italy and England Differ
In the Use of Tea, Beer and Wine,

In the Use of Tea, Beer and Wine.
Nations differ in what they drink far
more than in their dress or speech, the
size OF their armies or the amount OF
their national debt. In their use of
coffee for example, the American and
the Russian offer as great a contrast
as an octogenarian and year-old
babe. On an average, the American
drinks as much coffee in one day as
does the Muscovite In eighty days. In
the consumption OF tea, beer and wine
the English and the Italians differ to
still more startling degree. In one day
the average Britis1er sips 40 much tea
as eighteen hundred Italians, and in the
same length OF time he swallows
enough beer to keep the average Italian
supplied for six months. Yet, in wine
drinking the Italian shows that he can
equal eighty -four John Bulls.
According to the latest statistics OF
the department OF commerce at Wash
lngton, 1t appears that the American Is
fairly temperate when compared with
some Of his European brothers. He
the German or the Austrian. In the
use OF spirituous liquors he falls still
further behind and finds himself out
classed by the Austrian, the Hungarian,
the German and the Frenchman. He
also ranks fifth among the nations as
wine drinker. The Frenchman, the
Italian, the Austrian and the German
go ahead OF him.
The American, far more than many
Europeans, seeks refreshment and re-
ncwed energy in the "cup which invig-
crates, but does not intoxicate." Coffee
and tea are his favorlte beverages. On
an average he drinks more coffee than
the native of any country OF the old
world, and when classed with Euro.
peans he Is surpassed only by the Eng
llsh In his use OF tea.
The comparative temperance OF the
American, furthermore, would seem to
be little endangered by the great imml
grafton hlther at the present time OF
Russians and Italians. In the use or
spirits the Italian is at the very bottom
OF the list OF Europeans. Ho also drinks
less beer than any Of his neighbors. lie
drinks considerable wine, but 1t Is
wine than contains little alcohol, aud
even In this category h9 fslls some dis.
