In private conversation they talk very

rhe Aryan rnva..oa


In comparatively recent times-proba.
bly, not more than twenty centuries before
Christi Europe was invaded by new
race of men, coming from Central Asia.
These were the Aryans. race tall and
massive in stature (the men averaging
at least Eve feet eight inches, and the
women five feet three inches,) with
''bEachycephalic'' or round and broad
skulls, with powerful jaws and promi-
nent eyebrows, with faces rather square
or angular than oval, with fair, rudy
compilations and blue eyes, and red or
haxen hair.
OF these, the earliest that came may
perhaps have been the Latin tribes, with
the Dorians and Ionians; but the first
that made their way through western
Europe to the shores of the Atlantic
were the Gael, or true Kelts. After
these came the Kymry; then the Teu-
tons; and finally-in more recent times,
near the beginning of the Christian era
| the Slays.
These Aryan invaders were further
| advanced in civilization than the lb.'-
rians, who had so long inhabited Europe.
l They understood the arts which, the Ia.
ter understood, and, besides all this, tia.,
| had learned how to work metals; aid
their invasion of Europe marks the be
ginning of what arch3rlogists call the
Bronze Age, when tools and weapons
were no longer made of polished stones
but were wrought from an alloy of cop
per and tin.
The great blonde Aryans everywhere
oyercame the small brunette lberians
but, instead of one race exterminatinl
or expelling the other, the two races ev
erywhere became cOmmingled in various
proportions. In Greece, southern Italy
Spain and southern France, where thu
Iberians were most numerous as com
pared with the Aryan invaders, tn
people are still mainly small in statur
and dark in complexion. In Russia AM
Scandinavia, where there were few lbe
rians, the people show the purity o
their Aryan descent in their fair CON
plexion and large stature. While j
; northren Italy and northern France, i
Germany and the British Islands, tn
= Iberian and Aryan statures and CON
plexions are intermingled in endless Va
riety.

THE PPTCE OF cattle.

The Chicago Inter Ocean speaking on
the above subject says:
The quotations at the Union Stock
Yards show a falling cattle market.
There Is no such thing as Options"
'shoits," longs" OF gambling of any
kind in kline. The hogs and their lard
are chips" upon the green liable of the
period and so are tue cereals, but happI-
ly the herds of the land have escaped
such degradation and Generalization.
American cattle have declined in value
from normal causes. Either the supply Is
in excess Of the demand, or prices were
abnormally high, one ut the two. 1t
cannot be The former, for beef is still a
rare luxury in millions of families
where it ought 10 be daily served. The
pork barrel should give place to the ice
box for fresh meat before we can talk OF
excess. Then, again, prices were too
high, because cattle can be raised in this
country at lower price than the average
of many months past. The decline may
be taken as the result OF that law of
gravitation which rules and regulates the
great world markets, provided they are
not disturbed by the gamblers The
ranchmen need not expect their bust
ness permanently to yield exceptionally
large profits. There is general law of
average which must applyto their inter
ests IN common with all stable interests
of America.
In this connection the Topeka Com
mOnwealth adds:
We rode in a car on the A. T. & s. f
railroad last month with a very intelli-
gent Texas gentleman, dealer in cattle
His theory as to the reduction in price
was that il was being brought about by
the rich companies, who are buying W
most of the vacant land aud fencing il
in for grazing purposes. He said thai
| their plan was TO freeze out all owners
of small herds and then raise the price
of cattle. He admitted that II would be

ers who grazed their stock mostly or
their own land, but that it would be ar
easy matter to force those cattle Taisers
who owned from 500 to 1000 head and
grazed them on the public land.
