THE MACKIsAw GOES ASHORE.
Big Collier Runs on Aiki Point. MIsled
by the Fog.

The collier Mackinaw went ashore on
Alki point yesterday morning, while on
her way TO San Francisco from Tacoma,
with 400 tons of coal for the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company. She went
head on near the rocks on the southern
extremity of the point. Passengers on the
boats from Tacoma say she was ringing
her bell TO keep passing boats from run
nlng into her. No distress signals were
flying and she was evidently expecting to
iioat off at high tide tonight.
The thick smoke from forest fires ac-
counts for her running ashore. Marine
men believe she will get OF at high tide
without serious injury. The Mackinaw is
owned or leased by the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company

Chinese Teahouses.

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 to consist in throwing their
fingers at one another and shouting at
the top of their voices. It is really q
matching of numbers, for which the
Cinnamon make signs on their fingers
up to the numeral ten.
The Chinese of all nations seem to
live in order to eat, and from this race
of epicures has developed a 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 piquant sauce, sliced radishes
and onions. with vinegar, two loavea
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 chopstioks. These we at
length learned to manipulate with sufa-
cient dexterity to pick up doves egg,
the highest attainment in the chop
stick art The Chinese have rather q
sour than sweet tooth. Sugar is rarely
used in anything, and never in tea. The
stepped tea flowers, which the higher
classes use, are really more tasty with

THE HUMAN LEG.

Scientific Prediction That It Will 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 line-length, without breadth. Be-
low the belt he is swollen out with hard
flesh and muscles, and the calves are
monstrously 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 now seems to be to ena-
BILE us to move about without using feet
and legs It 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, person with
a set of teeth such as would now excite
the admiration of a dentist would al
most seem beast Of prey. London

AN ABsENTMINDEp MAN.
He Went Fishing and Forgot That It Was
His Wedding Day.

He Went Flaming and Forgot That le Was
His Wedding Day.
The Rev. George Harvest, minister Of
Thames Ditton, q great scholar and
skillful fisherman, was one Of the most
absentminded men of his time. He was
engaged to daughter Of the bishop Of
London, but on the day of his wedding,
being gudgeon fishing, he overstaid the
appointed hour, and the lady, Justly Of
Tended at his neglect, broke OF the
match. With Arthur Onslow, the
speaker of the house Of commons, Mr..
Harvest was ON terms Of great intimacy.
Being one day in punt together on the
Thames, he began to read a beautiful
dassage from some Greek author, and
throwing himself backward in an ecstasy
fell into the river, whence he was with
difficulty fished out.
When Lord Sandwich was canvassing
for the vice chancellorship of Cambridge,
Harvest, who had been his sohoolfellow
at Elton, went down to give him his
vote. In large company the two were
joking together on their schoolboy tricks

hands and waves them from him, which
explains itself as wanting to dispose Of
the lot. In addition to this. brokers
have q complete finger code by which
the condition of the market is oommu-
nicated. The signs generally used are
as follows:
The first finger held up stands for
one-eighth Of cent, as the traders ill
know the main price. II, for instance,
the first sale Of wheat after the market
opened was made at 60 cents apdithe
next at co.'s cents, the trader simply
holds up one finger for the advance Of
one-eighth Of cent. The upward posi-.
ton of the finger is to show the upward
course of the market. Should the market
be bearish and the price decline to 69T
cents, the signal for this would be a
closed hand, with the thumb pointing
downward. This shows the price seven.
eighths of cent and the status Of the
market downward. Chicago Tribune.
