LECTURE ON CHINA
An Interesting Discourse Upon an Interest,"

An Interesting Discourse Upon an Interest,"
ing Theme
DR.. George W. Cochran. dean OF the
theological department of the University
of Southern California, gave most inter
esting and instructive lecture on China
in the auditorium of the Y. NJ. G. A.
building yesterday afternoon.
The speaker commenced his address by
outlining the early history of the Chinese,
devoting most of his attention to the per-
iod embraced in the last 300 years. After
presenting the conditions of the race
and its institutions by tracing their
growth from their origin to the present
time, showing in detail the influences OF
different historical events upon the Gus
toms and religion of the people. Mr..
Cochran spoke OF the missionary
work which is being carried On in that
country by the Christians.
The vicissitudes that have surrounded
the Christian workers in that northern
land, said he, have called forth the most
heroic work that has ever been done in
anv time for any cause. Alluding to the
recent atrocities that have been COM
mitted by the Chinese against foreign
missionaries, the speaker gave a COM
plete history of the secret organization OF
strong in Central China, and has carried
on the most ferocious warfare. not only
against missionaries, but against all
foreigners. The reason given for their
actions was that they believed that all
Christian nations had been in league
with Japan during the late disastrous
war.
passing notice was paid to the war
with the Japanese, in which the opinion
was expressed that aside from the horri-
BILE brutality which attended the war, the
final result was for the good OF ciyiliza-
tion
Il will not venture an opinion" con-
tinued Mr.. Cochran, ''as to what The out
come of the present international strife
will be, but l have had dream in
which I saw the whole Chinese empire
divided. ana the power of government
scattered among several of the great
Christian nations"
Attention was then called to the ad-
vances of Russia and France and the at
itude of England, showing thersin pos
sible fulfillment OF the dream. At the
conclusion of the lecture a crowd of inter-
ested listeners crowded about the doctor
and requested him to continus with his
interesting theme in subsequent ad-
dresses.

County Seat Fights.

Several counties will have men on
hand from this on to buck the bill
introduced by Mr.. Wright, of Hen
nepin, on Thursday. 1t proposes, in
effect, that county seats shall be To-
Gated at the geographical center of the
counties. Report has it that Brevig,
of Renville, got Wright to introduce
the bill, for the especial benefit of a
faction interested in a county seat
fight at Brevig's home.
Judge Littleton, of Dodge, and sew
eral other gentlemen will camp on the
trail of that bill with Indian-like
patience and bulldog determination
to beat it. Littleton's county, for in
stance, now maintains it's seat of gov
eminent at Mantorville, two and half
miles from a railroad. Undoubtedly
it will be moved to Kasson before
long; but to carry it to the geograph-
ical center would take it into part of
the county where by far the least
number of people reside. The same
conditions exist in numerous other
counties, and it is entirely safe to say
that if Brevig has builded any hopes
on his secondhand bill he will be dis

A GOOD THING-PUsH 1T ALONG

Senator Stevens and Representa-
tive McKenney have introduced in
their respective forums bills which
provide for the inspection of the
meat that may be offered for sale
and consumed by the helpless peo-
pie who are fortunate to be gathered
together in municipal Jumps of 80. 600
souls and bodies. No one who knows
these gentlemen would suspect. and
we would be the last to insinuate.
that they are not moved to this by
the most conscientious of motives
and the deepest considerations of the
health of the specialized classes in
cluded in the bill. We re-echo the
imprisoned Indignation with which
these gentlemen hurl back the in
situation that they are furthering
the selfish interests of sundry per-
sons engaged in the slaughter Of
cattle, sheep and swine in the dis
tricts represented by them. Will the

time never come when the highest
and purest motives that can actuate
men will not be smirched by the
hints of the envious imputing sell
fish and baSe-born motives?
We are forced to admit that, since
the Introduction of McHale's anti
tights bill, no more meritorious meas
ure has been introduced into any
session of any legislature of this
state than is that one whose hon
orable paternity these two gentle
men share between them. Who is
there among us jewellers in cities Of
10000 people and upwards who has
not had his row with his purveyor of
meats when the latter has sent to
our larders meats on which the
tubercles were discernible with the
naked eye? Who is there who has
not been horror-struck as he saw the
on the platter of broiled ham that
adorned our breakfast tables and
tickled our appetites?
Everybody knows, or should know,
that it is only the cities which num-
Der 10000 people to which packers of
meats send such sick and sickening
products of the shambles. The line
of .demarcation is sharply drawn by
them. They scan each census taken,
and if any city has but 1880 inhab-
itantS then to them is sent the I'M
tubercled meats, the juicy and
healthful quarters, the tender NUT
ton free from scab or foot-rot, the
spareribs guiltIess of trichinae, while
on the suffering jewellers in the 10000
up is dumped the refuse.
If this is not the case, and we
know there are those who will deny
it, the wonder rises in the mind of
the thoughtful who contemplate this
humane measure, why the good
health of those who live in cities
whose population rises above the
thirty-thousand limit is worthy of
being guarded by an army of feed
inspectors of meats, while that of
those unfortunate enough to have
their lot cast in less populated towns
is left to the heartlessness of the
selfish and grasping butchers. Is
there in this a covert attempt to
revivify the faded boom by forcing
the good people of the smaller places,
in order to conserve their health,
to flock into the larger towns, thus
raising rents and making again a
lively demand for vacant lots?
Or is this discrimination due to
realization by these honorable leg
islators that the really superior -peo-
pie, those best worthy of being pre-
served in this constant struggle of
the survival of the fittest, live and
move and have their being in cities
never smaller than thirty thousand
souls? Is it, after all, nothing more
than their perception of this we'll
authenticated fact, and a laudable
desire to assist and accelerate the
Improvement Of the species by CIV
ing to these better ones a more
healthful environment? We are in
clined to take this view, because we
cannot believe that these two gen

tive than one of the highest and
profoundest. concern for that seq
ment of humanity that resides in the

INSECT PESTS.
TarantuIas and Such Things Con-
sidered by the Bureau Of En-
tnuGInprN


Washington Star.
The bureau of entomology has been
collecting some interesting information
lately about scorpions, centipedes and
tarantulas. Respecting these creatures
all sorts of nonsensical beliefs are
prevalent, and travellers who have Wis
tied tropical regions disagree as to the
effects Of their bites. That the poison
of any one of the three is apt to be
deadly has often been asserted. The
question derives particular Importance
from the fact that the animals are con-
stantly imported into this country in
punches of bananas and among other
fruits from lower ATTITUDES.
Tarantulas are simply big spiders of
the kind that build houses with trap
doors. Their bite is very severe and
painful, the scar lasting for a long
time, but, though it produces a violent
Inflammation for a short time, it is not
dangerous to life. Such, at all events,
is the belief of Prof C. V. Riley. In
regard to the centipede Prof. Riley
says that it's bite in warm climates is
sometimes excessively virulent and
painful, though at other times, oddly
enough, the poison causes little incon-
venience. That it is ever fatal is not
believed.
Scorpion stings are very painful in
deed. They are dangerous in proper
ton to the size of the animal, its age
and the state of irritation in which it
may be. Temperature also has an in
fuence upon the venom. 1t may be
that the sting is occasionally followed
by death, but such cases must be very
rare. There is no doubt that the sting
of certain species commonly found in
South AMERICA causes fever, numbness
in various parts of the body, tumors
on the tongue and dimness of sight.
These symptoms last from twenty-four
to forty-eight hours. The effects pro-
duced diminish in violence with repe-
tition, so that person who has been
stung many times may become actually
proof against the poison.
Some scorpions are much worse than
others. The rather small, slender,
pale-colored kinds have the worst rep
utation. In warm ATTITUDES certain
places are nearly free from scorpions,
while others are oVerrun by them, for
reasons not well understood. They
are extraordinarily numerous in a val
ley in the TERRA Templada of Mexico.
There it is hardly possible to turn
over a stone without finding three Or
four small and wicked scorpions of a
pale color beneath it.
1t is a common belief that the legs OF
the centipede are poisonous, and that
they will leave trail that burns like
fire if the animal runs over the bare
flesh. This is wholly a mistake. The
creature is naturally timid, and win
not even try to bite if it can get away
The poison causes a good deal of pain,
with fever and distress of the head
Centipedes are fond of vermin-infested
beds, and in tropical countries beds
are very apt to be SO infested.
