THlBETAN ANIMALS.
Marco Poio's Description of the Yak and
the Musk Deer.

There are wild cattle in that country
almost as big as elephants, splendid
creatures, covered everywhere but on
the back with shaggy hair good four
palms long. They are partly black,
partly white, and really wonderfully
fine creatures, and the hair or wool is
extremely fine and white, finer and
whittier than silk. Mcsser Marco brought
some to Venice as a great curiosity, and
so il was reckoned by those who saw
it. There are also plenty Of them tame,
which have been caught young. These
the people use commonly for burden
and general work. and in the plow as
WELL and at the latter they Will do full
twice as much work as any other cattle,
being such very strong beasts.
In this country. too. is found the best
musk in the world; and will tell you
how il is produced. There exists in
that region kind Of wild animal like
n gazelle. 1t has feet and tail like the
Cazelle's. and stag's hair of very
coarse kind, but no horns. IL has four
tusks, two below. and two above. about
three inches long, and slender in form.
one pair growing upward, and the other
downward 1t Is very pretty creature.
The musk is found in this way. When
the creature has been taken. they find
between the flesh and the skin some
thing like an imposthume full of blood.
which they cut out and remove with all
the skin attached TO il. And the blood
inside this imposthume is the musk that
produces that powerful perfume. There
Is an immense number of these beasts
in the country we are speaking OF. The
flesh is very good 10 eat. Mcsser Marco
brought the dried head and feet of one
Of these animals TO Venice with him.
The people are traders and artisans,
and also grow abundance of corn. The
province has an extent of &c days

rs big as ours. indeed nearly as big as
peacock. and having tails Of seven TO
ten palms in length; and besides them
other pheasants in aspect like our own.
md birds of many other kinds. and OF
beautiful varieCated plumagc. The peo-
pie. who are idolators. are fat folks
with little noses and black hair. and no
beard. except n few hairs ON the upper
lip. The women TOO have very smooth
and white skins, and in every respect
are pretty creatures.-NoahB Brooks. In

directs. His is n brave. a frank. a ra-
tional, a manly and a truly American
appeal.
Bryan speaks for the welfare of the
Industrious many; Mckinley for the
welfare of the opulent few.
Is there a thoughtful man in the
whole United States who does not
know that the greatest danger which
is threatening this republic is the
steadily growing power of conscience
less money? Does not every thought
full man feel that unless the grip of
wealth upon our government shall be
loosened we must ultimately have q
republic in name and an oligarchy in
fact?
Citizens equally honest differ sincere
ly on the currency question. Silver
men think the single gold standard q
potent cause OF our industrial distress;
gold men think that bime tallism would
increase rather than lessen that dis
tress. But honest Americans should

tial election carried by the trusts and
syndicates, under the leadership OF
Mark Hanna. would be UNNECESSARILY
more disastrous and dishonoring to the
United States than the retention or in
PRODUCTION of any monetary system.
Every citizen before he goes TO
the ballot box will, if he be intelligent
and patriotic, ask himself the vital
question:
"Shall vote for government by men,
or for government by money?"-N. Y.

While blowing a field in the parish
of Tierce, near Anglers. a laborer named
Gilbert had the misfortune to overturn
4 wasps' nest. Immediately the swarm

We have on several occasions directed

made by the republicans of states and
electoral votes wherewith they expect.
or profess that they expect, to land
Hanna's man in the white house. The

Mr.. Hanna began his career as tho
manager of = political trust by saddling
Mckinley with his syndicate; he fol-
lowed this 10y saddling the republican
national convention with Mckinley. and
crowned his work by saddling the re-
publican party with a crushing load OF
millionaire finance committees. The
defiance Of public decency and popular
sentiment into which the syndicate boss
has led the republican party has never
been cqualed in the history Of politics.
The republicans realize their blunder
now. They would give much TO be rid
OF their mortgaged candidate and his
political receivers. Louis Republic.
