The BAsoUEs.

An Interesting People Who Are Puz-
zlo Among Nations.
The Basque provinces lie in the
north Of Spain. and. although for cen
turies students have tried TO trace the
real origin Of the people and find key
to their language. they have failed to
do so.
All other known tongues spoken by
the sons of men have been shown to
possess a common origin. traceable to
the Arabic and Semitic. But the
Basque language has entirely resisted
the philologist In some aspects the
vernacular shows traces of a Chinese
admixture. In others 1t is clear that
North american Indian terms are na-
tive to It. It also shows traces Of
barbaric languages spoken on the cast
coast of Africa.
The people themselves bear physi-
illogical traits found in those who
speak the said tongues. The native
name Of Basqueland is Eskuara. and
their motto is 'Truracbat," or "Three
In One" Nor is their political struc-
ture anything like that of any known
political body, though they belong, Of
course. to Spain. Each Basque prov
ince is governed by a parliament com
posed of representatives - selected
partly by election. partly by lot
among the householders OF each coun-
try parish OF town. Their laws are es-
sentially peculiar TO themselves and
are conceived on no known code either

are a puzzle among nations and num-
ber half a million all told.-New York

MILITARY SYSTEM.
The Way Germany Handles Her Re-

The Way Germany Handles Her Re-
serves In Case Of War.
Nobody who has visited Germany
can fail to have been struck by the
large official signboards at the entry
to each town or village. These con-
tain full information as to exactly
which official in the community 10 ap-
ply to should the magic word "mobi-
lie" be spoken.
Wherever the German reservist may
chance to be when the order to mobi-
lie is given-assuming, Of course,
that be is not out Of the country-he
has only got to ask the first inhabitant
or walk to the end Of the village and
look at the directions on the signboard
to find out his own particular place In
the military scheme. He will see that
he must go to Herr Schmidt, at 40
Schutzen street. Herr Schmidt will
tell him exactly in which town he has
to go in order TO rejoin his own unit
and. what is still more important. will
give him the money and the railway
pass to take him there.
Arrived at his destination, he will
find his uniform. arms and accouter-
ments piled neatly in a heap. with a
label bearing his name and regimental
number on the top Of the heap. He
has only TO put it on and take his
place among the comrades with whom
he did his military service some years
ago.
This destination was arranged upon
many years back. and the exact time
schedule for marching and railway
journeys was compiled long since

Thus the jingoes Of England and
Germany to the peoples OF those coun-
tries, whose governments are running
race in naval equipment.
England has long held the supremacy
OF the seas-eyer since Nelson's vic
tory at Trafalgar. But now Germany
has built navy that rivals England's
war fleets. and John Bull in his right
little. tight little isle is dresming O.
nights Of the invasion OF his coast by
the kaiser.
Whew!
There was n great fuss In parlia-
ment. Balfour stood up for the oppo
sition 10 charge that the government
was letting Germany get ahead, and
Asqulth for the government sadly ad
mitted It.
Whereupon little less than n panic
seized the newspapers and the people.

And Germany
The people Of that empire struggle
under an enormous debt The up-keep
OF an immense military establishment
is added to that OF a costly navy.
And now both Germans and English
are under a spell Of apprehension lest
one spend more money than the otherl
1t would be humorous were 1t not
pathetic. They are like two boys with
chips on their shoulders-"one is
afraid. and the other dassent."
The probability of war between those

in common. and in these days OF The
Hague tribunals Is exceedingly remote.

lay burdens that are hard to be borne
on the backs Of their common people,
who toll on short dinners for n bare
subsistence and who see their children
doomed TO n similar fate all because
Of the war game played by a few
statesmen.

German Way of Serving Asparagus.

When living in Germany we noticed
that the asparagus se-ved there was
unusually tender and Of a much more
delicate flavor than that which we got
in America. We learned that the Ger
mans do not consider asparagus fit to
eat unless the outside skin scraped
from each stalk before cooking. This
sounds like slow work. but if a sharp
knife is used it can be done quite rap
