The Heroic Basque and Their Many Des perate Wara with Invaders. But these people of Spain, and yet not Spaniards, who are they? Models of ancient manners, untainted by time, so marked, so separate as distinct in racial characteristics from their near est neighbors as from the most remote so rooted to this soil, how shall we account for them? Velasco, their own historian, p;ravely;traces their descent di rectly from Tubal-Cain, says the Cosmo politan. Humboldt calls them Celt-Iberians. Theory on theory, each one dis proving the last with equal learning', has been advanced to account for this phenomenon. Nothing now seems more probable than that they are a remnant of the troglodytes of the age of Btone, the same with the men whose bones are found in the caverns of the Alps and Pyrenees, !beside those of the huge animals they-' hunted. In this case their unwritten history dates from twenty centuries before the Christian era. There are confused Basque traditions of the coming of the 1'hienicians to their mountains, and the earliest Ro man writers have painted in glowing colors the noble bearing, patriarchal customs and wise old laws the Phoeni cians found there. They discovered the gold and silver mines and vanished away in their great etar-guided ships. Wars and dissensions followed; then silence again till Cojsar came. His lieutenant Crassus reduced Spain to a Roman province, but Casar says: "A few petty people higher up in the mountains did not make their submit sion and sent hostages." Roman poets expand the picture and describe the Iberians, as they named the Basques, as objects of terror to all the world, whom neither hunger, heat nor cold could conquer, who only gloried in labors and pei'ils. Pushed by the Romans, they retreat ed to their fortified towns; pressed by siege, they withdrew to the highest rocks, watched the conflagration of the towns, and threw themselves, shouting. from the craigs, to be dashed in pieces rather than surrender. Mothers drowned their sons rather than have them become slaves. The story of their steady resistance is nearly incredible. Taken prisoners, they preferred cruci fixion to subjection, and died singing a paean of joy. Again and again, after thinking them conquered, the Roman prefects encountered fresh outbreaks, till at last the Cwsars were wise enough to abandon the effort and secure them as allies. As allies, the Basques proved, from the first, as faithful as they had before been stubborn., More Iban onee their un.,onquerable courage turned the for tune of battles. They went to Sicily with Hannibal, leaving traces of them selves in Italy, in names of towns such as Lrbmo and Orvieto. Later they joined steadily for two centuries in tho strife aguuist the Visigoths.1 At Rencesvalles, In 778, the Franks touched them, and the flash that followed still lights the pass and the ulilfs. though ten contnrlos have prmm iifi f-t-. Ganelon betraved Roland and the furi ous Basques fell on Charlemagne's rear guard and crushed them with rocks In the defile of bones between Ilgatson and Altablscar. "I onee witnessed an iiHecsungi7ut peculiar spectacle in animal life, but one which I have never been ablts to account for," reinuiltud Abraham 1. Given, of Ilretihum, Tex., according to the St. Louis (llobc-Dernucrat. "I was going home Just at nightfall over a anndy roud, when I noticed directly In front of me what appeared to be a long Hue of green ribbon about one half an inch thick. I stooped to ex amine It, and to my astonishment, found that it was a prurofchion of ants, marching threo or four abreast. In very close order, each otic currying a little piece of a green leaf. The t-ITeet wan a continuous line of green with out any break.

The Only Way Black Mass Can Be Taken In the Saginaw Rler. "You might not think it worthy of your skill as a ily fisherman," recently said one who is an expert in the art himself, "and ordinarily it wouldn't be, as it seems a trifle vulgar in style, but if you ever come to fishintr for black bass in a certain kind of water you will find that you must sink vour fly or go without any fish. For in stance, there isn't a better black bass fishing water on the continent than Sagmaw river, Michig-an, or anywhere the bass are bigger or more ganiey. But the water is deep and very much discolored by the bark on the logs of the endless processions of pine rafts tnat, go up and down that stream. Whitefish in the Saginaw river would be whitefish only in name, for they would take on the hue of the pine dyed water, just as trout in the hem lock-bordered creeks of Pennsylvania are so dark in color that, compared with their brothers of the open-woods streams, they are like a mulatto com pared with a white man. "There is only one way ov' flv fishinsr that black bass can be taken in Sagi naw river, ana that is the seemingly unsportsmanlike way I am speaking of. You must have large and rather gaudy flies. Three inches above the dropper put a No. 2 split shot on your leader to sinu your ilies. They must be sunk al most as deep in tho water as if you were fashing with bait. Trail them toward the surface smartly, and when one of these big bass strikes a fly, which will be so often that you will be astonished, if you don't say that you never had sport before flv fishinc for bass, then you are a dilettante sort of a fisherman, and no mistake. "A person who thinks he isn't doina- right by himself if he fishes for black bass any other way thau with the fly ought to know there is lly fishing. I never knew of but two kinds before I trie.d the Michigan method, and I have used this third one with great pleasure and profit in many eastern waters where the conditions were similar to those in the Saginaw, and where no one had ever succeeded in taking any bass to speak of by the regulation methods. I had rather make a nice catch by sinking my flics, even at the expense of being lookud upon as a coarse fisherman, than to dawdle all day on the surface and never get a rise."

The ordinary tests employed by aurists for determining the power of hearing of their patients are in most cases sufiicieat for all, practical pur poses; but in some instances indications of great delicacy arc absolutely neces sary. Tor this purpose, a "sonometer" has been Invented by T. P. llawksley. The instrument consists of two pri mary coils of unequal winding, a sec ondary coil, two dry cells, or a thermo pile supply current, and an adjustable rheotome. The secondary coil is con nected to a telephone, and the rela tive and comparative perception of hearing of the patient can be deter mined with the greatest accuracy. QUARRY PRODUCTS.

An anecdote is related by our Paris correspondent of Admiral Avelan, who is in command of the Russian squadron which has been visiting Toulon. When, many years ago, he was cruising in the Baltic, as a midshipman, among the men on board his ship was a former captain of a man-of-war, "broken" for insult ing an admiral, and reduced to a com mon seaman. The young officer con sidered it a sacred duty to treat this unfortunate man with all the kindness consistent with the regulations, and to try everything to start him afresh on his career. A pardon could be granted only for an act of bravery. "Next tiine a storm comes on," Ave lan said to the ex-captain, "I will drop into the sea as if by accident. You will jump in after me, and thus win 3'our epaulettes." This was agreed upon. Some days later, in a squall, the cry was heard: "A man overboard." Avelan had disappeared. The ex captain jumped over the ship's side, but he was a bad swimmer, and instead of rescuing Avelan, he owed his life to the latter. In due course the com mander's report reached the czar, and the ex-captain was restored to his rank. The captain is now an admiral. The other day he celebrated the fiftieth an niversary of his entrance into the service oy giving a dinner, to which Admiral Avelan was invited, and in the course of an after-dinner Bpeech he publicly thanked his junior colleague for having opened to him the path of honor.

By this sub terfuge the president misled his country men into believing him to be six years younger than he was, according to an anecdote, as follows: "M. tirevy was al ways very reluctant to tell his age and openly admitted that reluctance. At a dinner party given by one of his friends 111 lHi'l, the future president of the republic said, with a smile: 'I'eo- )lo may try as much as they like, they will never know my real ago.' And, n fact, when M. ilerold, who was some time a minister of the third republic, endeavored to obtain definite particul ars of M. Urevy soge for a new edition of 'Vapereau,' M. Urevy persistently re used to supply them. ' J he archives of Mountsous-Vaudrey were burnt in 8l:i,' he said, 'and you must do the test you can. You'll get, 110 informa tion from me.' As a consequence, all M. (irevy's biographers gave the year H13 as that of his birth, while in real ity ho was born iu lsu7." I'liruinforlai!. i nrean lloiiae.

In Germany at one o'clock all the world is taking an after-dinner smoke or an after-dinner nap, and business, even banking, is suspended. In Japan the bathing hour is before supper, and between five and six o'clock every liv ing being is nude. The public baths are crowded. At hom,e children, young people and old people are in the tub, getting in or getting out oi the tub, which is placed in the garden, in court yards, shops or on tho piazza, without the least apology of a screen. If a cus tomer appears the bather talks busi ness over the water, and in private families callers are neither abashed nor embarrassing. In the humble quarters the tubs are set on the threshold, and neighbors on opposite sides of the street gossip, chatter and exchange the most amiable greetings.

The newest of western mining camps, the Cochiti camp, in New Mexico, lies near the ancient Indian village of that name on the west bank of the Rio Grande, southwest from Santa Fe. The mines lie in ledges which cross at right angles the walls of three can yons, the Cochiti, the Pino and the Peralta. Some of the ores already taken out there are very rich, and, if the claims as to their abundance are verified in the continued working, Cochiti will prove one of the great gold-bearing districts of the United States. At the mouth of the Pino, the central canyon of the three, the hum ming, brand-new town of Allcrton is situated. Two smaller town sites, Kent City nnd Eagle, have been laid olf, about six miles to the east and to tho west, respectively. A few frame and more log houses are interspersed among the tents which constitute the greater part of the residence nnd busi ness structures of the camp, in which about two thousand people abide. Saloons and gambling and dance houses are plentiful and busy, and even the 1 "old timer," with memories of Dead wood and Leadvillo, admits that the 1 Cochiti has generally the symptoms of a booming enmp.

The danger threat ened from In front, aud the difficulty lay in delaying' tho attack until Well ington could effect tho change he wished, lie was, as usual, equal to the occasion. Waving his hat in the air 'he galloped to tho front of a regi ment as If he meunt to order a churge. The whole of Picton's line cheered tre mendously, nnd as the roar died away Wellington was heard to remark, half to himself: "Soult Is a cautious com mander and will not attack in force without ascertaining the meaning of these cheers. That will leave time for the Sixth division to come up, and we shall bent him." This was exactly what happened, and Soult sustained a bloody repulse where he might have won an easy vlct r.
