Yankton Press, 5: In the debt state

ample evidence OF the falsity of demo
cratic claims for the ven side OF the
new tariff law. This statement shows
that the receipts of the month are light
er than in any month in the last thirty
years; that the revenue produced by the
new tariff law in the first two calander
months OF hts operation are less than the
receipts OF any two months since The
war, and that the deficiency in October
was greater than in any month for years.
Those who announced as ar apology fol
the senate bill, that II "wlll at least do
what the Mckinley bill does not-pro;
duce enough revenue to meet the ex
penses OF the government" are looking
at each other in establishment. Never

Scientific Prediction That 1t VIII Deteri-
crate Greatly In Future Generations.
Our Paris correspondent writes: A
French caricaturist has been showing
us what cyclists will come to in a few
generations. The future "veloce man.
is from the hips up like the definition
of a line-length, without breadth. Be-
low the belt he is swollen out with hard
flesh and muscles, and the calves are
m~onstrously big. Professor Yung of the
Geneva university, on the other hand,
believes that the time is coming when
human beings will have no legs to speak
of. What with cycling, the great end
of civilization 10Y seems to be to ena-
BILE us to move about without using feet
and legs 1t is fast getting on to cleo
trical hackney coaches and rudder bal
looms. The tendency is to throw all the
muscular activity into the hands and
arms. Professor Yung believes that the
future human creature will have the
merest survivals of neither limbs and
arms of great length.
Teeth will probably be dwarfed also
by the constant use of soft foods that
need not be chewed, but as the march of
intellect will increase in pace the brain
will develop. OF course the standards
of beauty with these anatomical changes
will alter. When they do, a person with
q set of teeth such as would now excite
the admiration of q dentist would al
most seem a beast of prey. London

Chinese

The restaurant, or teahouse, in China
takes the place of the western clUbroom.
All the current news and gossip are here
circulated and discussed over their eat
Ing or gambling. One of their games of
chance, which we have frequently no.
ticed, seems 20 consist in throwing their
fingers at One another and shouting at
the top Of their voices. It is really a
matching of numbers, for which the
Cinnamon make signs ON their fingers
up to the mineral ten.
The Chinese of all nations seem to
live in order TO eat, and from this race
of epicures has developed D nation of
excellent cooks. Our fare in China, out
side the Cobb district, was far better
than in Turkey or Persia, and for this
reason we are better able to endure the
increased hardships. A plate of sliced
meat stewed with vegetables and served
with a piquant sauce, sliced radishes
and onions, with vinegar, two loaves
OF Chinese mono, or steamed bread,
and a pot of tea would usually cost
us about 81 cents apiece. Every
thing in China is sliced SO that it can be
eaten with the chopsticks. These VIZ at
length learned to manipulate with sufi-
cient dexterity to pick up a doves egg,
the highest attainment in the chop
stick art. The Chinese have rather a
SOU than asweet tooth. Sugar is rarely
used in anything, and eve in tea. The
stepped tea flowers, which the higher
classes use, are really more tasty with
out i~t.-Ceptury.

MAN EATERS OF THE PACIFIC.
Sharks That Are the Dread of the Cali
fornia Fishermen.

tornta Fishermen.
The true man eater shark as taken
on tho Pacific coast is known only as a
man eater. The shovel nOsed shark are
sand sharks, too cowardly to attack
sven a yellow dog. The "a foot shark
captured by some fishermen of the true
man eater variety tCarcharodon carcha~
| rias) seemed brave enough and savage
enough to attack anything within its
reach. This monsters mouth was wide,
the teeth long and sharp, with an in
ward incline. The stomach would hold

deal besides, The fish became entangled
in q net off Point Lama. Two boats at
tackled the vicious creature and finally
succeeded in punching an iron into its
vitals. The side of one boat was STAYED
in by a blow forcible enough to knock
one fisherman overheard.
These sharks have been known to at
tack a small boat, upset it and eat the
oarsman. A man eater over 10 feet long
has been reported below San Diego.
The natives are said to live in fear of
this awful fish, which already has the
record of having eaten six men. 1t has
been shot frequently. The water about
it has been discolored with blood. Yet
the shark still lives. The tiger shark is
as ferocious as the man eater. Another
large shark hereabouts is the baskinG
shark. 1t is taken measuring Is to 40
feet in length. The skin of one 80 feet
long is at Stanford University museum.
This skin alone weighs over l, 500

however, are sluggish, lazy and do not

Yesterdays election is not without it's
interesting features and lessons. The
heavy vote in the county, especially
outside of the city, was a surprise to all.
The fine weather, the advanced condl-
ton of farm work and the deep interest
in the election all contributed towards a
proportionately heavy vote. A note
worthy feature of the outcome was the
almost solid amalgamation of the Popu-
list and democratic vote, and IN the
light of rational results the combination
can only be called democratic. or the
nearly 400 democratic votes in this
county heretofore, little more than 100
remain to preserve the name in a local
sense. Against this solid combination,
the straight republicans Of Lake county
made a gallant fight, and had their
whole party been united and in sympa-
thy with them the republican ticket
could have been elected throughout
with possibly two exceptions. AS it is.
the republicans have made a gain of 5
per cent. in their vote over two years
ago. The loss of the legislative ticket
may be the most far preaching in it's re
suits and is the most to be deplored as it
may contribute to the election of another
democratic United States senator. The
populists will not know their gain or loss
until the democrats again establish a
party of their own, which is liable to
happen at any election. The republican
gain is no doubt permanent. The con
gressional plurality of 9 for the republi-
can ticket and % for the state ticket,
looks small in the light of the combined
opposing elements. Separated as party
honor founded on principle, the republic
cans would have been in the hundreds.
A change of even 10 more votes would
have elected almost the entire republic
can ticket. The republicans of Lake
county can afford to persevere and feel
proud OF what they have accomplished.
