THE GREAT RELAY RACE. -
-The bicycle riders and all who took
part in the great race against time from
Chicago to New York are to be' congrat
ulated. . 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

from this race is the calling attention to
the bad condition of American 'country
roads. 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.

, 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

head some unfeeling congressman hits

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." Washington Star.
' "WUen Christ Was Horn.
Siieculative and philosophical writers
have long since established the fact that
we have no proof that Dec. 25 is the
date of the birth of the Messiah. At
one time thj beginning of the Christian
era was supposed to conform with the
great event above mentioned, but it has
been pretty clearly, established that
Christ was not born on the day -we cele
brate as Christmas or at any . other time
during a winter month.- :.', ,
The date now unanimously agreed
upon by scholars is April 5, pot April 5
of the "year of one," but AprH 5, 4 B. C
This error iu'our mode of. reckoning
time is supposed to have arisen from the
fact that the dating of time "A.': D." was
not introduced tin til about the year 537
of the Christian era. St. Louis Re
