They failed iti arriving at their destination on schedule time, but they "succeeded in proving that the bicycle is . i'SLrH . nf trvnat. nprfnrninni'pa . Tho riders probably ' did more, . all things considered, than a, series of couriers mounted on horses could have done. They also successfully ' established the ' fact that our young - wheelmen are not tnerelv ornamental accessories 'of civili zftt. They art; resolute, hardy, en suring athletes, and they have courage l ' to attempt large ? nterprises. The trip vta9 accomplished under circumstances which would have led less intrepid spirits to succumb; but, to the glory of the wheelmen be it said, not one of the relay-riders seems to have thought for a moment of anything bat the carrying on of his message, though his wheel might be abandoned as a wreck, his limbs grow stiff and sore and his garments become saturated with Mlin ....1. .... n .. .1 .. .........

Doubtless the relay journey will be repeated some time when the high ways are firmer and the weather. more propitious. Then the last rider may be expected to tpondle to his goal hours ahead of the record just made. n . ,. , , One of the siieakers in the! Georgia convention made a novel eulogy of his candidate. "Mr. Cleveland," said this orator in a fine, rounded period, "is a-middle-aged man of good habits, mar ried, with one child and four, years' ex perience. Ao doubt an inventory of 'each candidate's .family, habits and chattel mortgagee, if delivered iu a swelling, rotund voice, would awaken attention in any gathering. The inno vation is refreshing. But, excepting! the four years' experience, very many; men in this world could run for the j -chief magistracy on the qualifications of middle-age, a wife, good habits, and a iiabv. m.iik APiona x.anritiar oi last ween nas an article on the emigration question in which it says that there are districts in Finland whence persons equal in num ber to 25 per cent, of the annual in crease in population emigrate annually. Of these immigrants 70 per cent, are from 17 to Ur years of age. It may be seen from this statement that the United states receives the flowebf the popula tion. The Finnish authorities have be come alarmed, .becauseonly the old peo ple remain in the .".country. And these! are unable, for the most part, to work or pay taxes. ' ' ' . Every time Mr. Bland injects some re viving elixir into the free-silver move ment and that measure lifts its trampled head some unfeeling congressman hits it another blow.

A. v MATTER OF. COMPLEXION. Blond Women Said to Tie .Crowing Scarcer. Giving Place to Brunettes. "Blond womou nre bccoiaing scarcer every year,' said an ominent anthropol ogist. "Yon have hot lived long enough to remark tho fact, but -women with blue eyes and light hair are gradually" passing away as a type. In each succes sive generation there are fewer of them than in the last. Already such a thing as a real blond, purely such, is so rarely seen in this country as to excite remark. Golden tresses are so very infrequent that real ones are usually suspected of being dyed. In short, it has become evident that before very long there will be no blond women any more. "The same thing - is true of men. Among their sex light hair and blue eyes are fast disappearing. . You may judge how rapidly they are going when you con sider the fact that wherever a brun man marries a blond woman or vice versa 66 per cent, of the children born have dark hair and eyes. At that rate Hot very many centuries will be required to wipe out the blond type altogether. You wonder how this matter has been deter mined with such accuracy? Simply by including such statistical observation in the census of nations. In. Germany and France the very school children are ex amined and have their characters re corded from an anthropological stand point. "Observations made in this way so as to cover millions of persons of both sexes have resulted in the discovery that the dark people bring more chil dren into , the world than do the light people. Furthermore, they have greater muscular vigor and they live longer. Thus in every point which has to do with the perpetuation of a species they are superior. . The rule in nature seems to be that pigment which produces the color of the hair and eyes w an indica tion of force. Albinos among animals and pallid plants are always weak. "After all. there are comparatively few light people in the world. All the straight haired races are dark. AH the aboriginal Americans are dark, from the arctic circle to Cape Horn. All the Asiatics are dark. All the Oceanic peo ple are. dark. All the Africans are dark, except a few blond tribes in the Bar bary states. Likewise all the southern Europeans are dark! The dark people have the groat advantage of being able to stand any cliinate, while the light complexioned races cannot endure the heat of the tropics. "An apparent contradiction to ail this is afforded by the fact that wherever the light haired and blue eyed peoples have come into ' conflict with races of dark complexion the latter have always been defeated. The light people govern tho, world today. Queen Victoria has blue eyes, and the sun never sets on her dominions.. Descendants of Anglo-Saxons dominate the New World. Even South America, Africa and the civilized part of Asia are fairly run by the Eng lish and GerniaJi-s. Germany leads all the nations of the earth in science and learning, and three-fourths of her impu tation are blue eyed. Tho yellow haired Swodes, Danes and Norwegians furnish the sailors of the world.. English is the language of .the globe. French has often been called the 'universal lan guage,' but it is in fact merely a court language outside of France. The Chi nese have a 'pidgin, English, but not a pidgin" French. All the modem jar gons of the world, for trade purposes, are modifications of English. "The bine eyed and light haired peo ple are by far the most bravo of the modems. Bv their superior intelligence and bravery they have conquered the world, but their task in accomplishing this lias implied an enormous strain upon their powers. So great a strain has not been conducive to the prolonga tion of their existence and to the perpet uation of their kind. Races of people are like breeds of horses and cattle, or like stocks . in plants. They last . for awhile, but not forever, disappearing soon er or later. If a severe strain is put upon them in one way or another, they will pass away so much the more quickly- The high culture we are giving our children, stimulating their mental activ ities to the utmost, has the effect of re ducing the number and physical strength of their offspring, thus shortening the life of their race. '--. . "So; owing to such causes as these, we find that the blue eyed and light haired people are diminishing in numbers at a very rapid rate. We take notice of it in the women particularly. Soon must we say, "Farewell, ye golden tresses and violet orbs J" .'' During centuries to come the dark people are destined to achieve andhold domination in the world, until, as is very likely, the cycle of complex ion has gone around and the blond shall rule again."
