THE WORD “FELLOW.”
It# Course From the Universities Into
Everyday Life.
The word bachelor means originally
“cowboy," a youth who looked after
the cow, from the low Latin bacea
and through the classical Latin vaeea.
In course of time the term was giv¬
en in scorn to voluntarily unwedded
men by ladies who had sharp tongues
The word was taken over by the uni¬
versities In the middle ages, and the
degree of bachelor was not supposed
to be given to any man who had en
tered into the state of matrimony.
The word "fellow” has had a some¬
what similar fare as far as the ladies
and the universities were concerned.
The universities of Oxford and Cam¬
bridge, to name but two. grant fellow¬
ships worth from $1,500 to $3,000 per
annum at the various colleges to un
married honor graduates of high dis¬
tinction. If a fellow should enter
Into matrimony he still loses or for¬
feits his fellowship As the "fellows"
were generally men of apparent opu¬
lence or at least comfort in regard to
living and dress, they readily attracted
the attention of ladies who were think¬
ing of settling down In life. When
an acquaintanceship was formed be¬
tween a “fellow" and a marriageble
lady things usually went very delight¬
fully until the fair schemer discovered
the academic status of the man. Then
the expression "Pooh, he Is a fellow!"
came very naturally to her lips. And
so It crept Into secular or lay life and
begat Its unkind meaning. Hut, of
course, if the graduate was willing to
sacrifice his fellowship and its ernolu
ments for the sake of the fair lady’s
lovely eyes and favors—why. he be¬
came a “good fellow," which Is a horse
of a totally different color.—New York

SHAKESPEARE’S POISONS.
They Are Taken Too Seriously by
Some Modern Chemists.
It Is one of the penalties of Shake¬
speare’s position as a great poet that
his words are taken seriously
A learned doctor In a foreign scien
title review has been molding art inqui
sltion into the poisons mentioned by
him lie points out that the "juice of
cursed hebenon.” which Claudius is
said to have poured into the ear of
Hamlet's father, is incapable of pierc¬
ing the tympanum of the ear and
therefore could not have penetrated
tlie body and poisoned the blood, as
the ghost alleges. Again, the narcotic
which Friar Laurence administers to
Juliet was probably either Datura
stramonium or mandragora root. 1 he
first is used by the convicts in New
Caledonia when they wish to rob their
companions, tint Its effects do not last
forty-two hours nor anything like ttiat
time. A scientist who experimented on
himself with mandragora found that
intense sickness Is caused on waking,
and tills did not happen to Juliet. As
for the poison which was given to Ro¬
meo. it was probably aconite or one of
those mixed poisons composed of vege¬
table alkaloids and ptomabie. since it
was so remarkably rapid in Its effects.
Rut that Is the fault of too serious
people They will take everything se¬
riously Shakespeare probably knew
nothing at all of poisons or of nar¬
cotics He was a poet nhd not a chem¬
ist and might therefore be allowed the
usual poetic license. London Glolie.

MILITARY SYSTEM.
The Way Germany Handles Her Re¬
serves In Case of War.
Nobody who has visited Germany
caD 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 to ap¬
ply to should the magic word “mobi¬
lize" be spoken.
Wherever the German reservist may
chance to be when the order to mobi¬
lize Is given—assuming, of course,
that he 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
Schutzeu street. Herr Schmidt will
tell him exactly in which towD 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.—

THE BASQUES.
An Interesting People Who Are a Puz¬
zle Among Nations.
The Rasque 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 a key
to their language, they have failed to
do so.
Ail othpr known tongues spoken by
the sons of men have been shown to
possess a common origin, traceable to
the Arabic and Semitic. Rut the
Rasque language has entirely resisted
the philologist. In some aspects the
vernacular shows traces of a Chinese
admixture. In others ft is clear that
North American Indian terms are na¬
tive to it It also shows traces of
barbaric languages spoken on the east
coast of Africa.
The people themselves bear physl- j
ologica! traits found in those who f
speak the said tongues. The native
name of Basqueland is Eskuara. and
their motto is “Iruracbat." or “Three
In One.” Nor Is their political struc- j
ture anything like that of any known
political body, though they belong, of
course, to Spain Each parliament Basque prov- j
jnce is governed by a selected com
posed of representatives -
partly by election, partly by lot—
among the householders of each coun¬
try parish or town. Their laws nrp es¬
sentially peculiar to themselves and
are conceived on no known code either
of ancient or mediaeval times They
are a puzzle among nations and num¬
ber half a million all told —New York

Among the most interesting earth
tremors from a scientific poiut of vIpw
are those known as "twin earth
quakes,” where two distinct series of
shocks are felt, separated by an inter¬
val of two or three seconds In each
series the vibrations Increase to a
maximum and die away, the whole
duration, including the quiet interval,
being eight to twelve seconds in some
parts of the earthquake zone the most
powerful shocks are nearly always of
this kind. When they occur, how
ever, there is always a strip of eoun
try where only one shock is felt.
Apparently there are two distinct
points of origin for these shocks, and
the strip where a single shock is felt is
that where the two sets of vibrations
arrive simultaneously. The fact that
this band is straight shows that the
twin shocks occur together and that
therefore one is not a consequence of
the other. Probably there is an S
shaped bend in some Interior layer of
rock and the twin foci are at the points
of greatest displacement—namely, the
bends of the S. The movement that
causes such a twin earthquake there
fore results in accentuating the form
of the fold In the earth’s crust—New
