BRICK ADOPTED.

The Minneapolis Omc:als VIII Try the

The Minneapolis municipal officials
who recently visited the three cities
on their tour Of brick pavement in
sPection. Galesburg being their main
objective point, and who at first
were not disposed to favor Gales
burg. or in fact any sort of brick for
the paving of the streets OF their
city, have come, have seen, and have
been convinced. After they went to
Galesburg, and looked at streets that
had been paved rs long as IL years
ago, they went to st. Louis. and
found that the authorities down there
had been thoroughly converted to
brick paving. Down there the Min
neapolis people were informed by
members Of the board of public i'm
provcmerts that brick, rs a paving
material, was second to none if it
was thoroughly vitriiied and of uni
form hardness, and il it could be
procured at a reasonable price.
These st. Louis men also stated
that in their investigation, OF paving
brick in eastern cities they had
found none that bore comparison to
the vitrified brick now being made
at Galesburg. and for this reason St.
Louis has decided to use Galesburg
brick the coming season on a large
number of the streets and al.
leys of that city, chiefly be-
cause OF its comparative noiscless-
ness. also because it is cheaper, and
they consider it as durable as gran

So the Minneapolis committee W

convinced, and have recommended
that a block of Galesburg brick pave
ment be laid on one of the principal
streets of Minneapolis as early in the
spring rs possible. and at a point
where it will be subjected to the
heaviest tonnage. This will be an
admirable test of the value of brick

WHAT SHALL WE DO!

SO far as a man OF av Q intelli>
gence may be able to JUICE, it seems
as If silver were doomed-for tn.
present, anyway
And yet it seems impossible fer the
world to do without silver as money:
notwithstanding the perverseness and
greed of the money kings, who have
for 20 years been engaged in an at
tempt to convince it that it can.
These money kings have succeeded
in capturing the good opinion Of
ma otity of tho people of The United
States. AT least of mrjori,y OF
those persons who have "rhe saw"
This is demonstrated by the fact that,
despite the most strenuous opposi,i
thes have carried the day, and silver
is demonetized.
In this matter. upon this question,
neither Of the old parties can claim
an advantage over the other. For
while it is true that the Democratic
party has been considered rs eome-
what more friendly to silver tlsn its
Republican oppon+n'. it is now un
deniably shown that il. course has
been q mere prtten.e, Y makesAift to
acquire power. Both of the old
pa,tec hnve h,d abundant oppor>
tunity to right the wrong Of 1873,
a"d both have failed. Both have
fallen down and worsllped the goldt n
calf. Neth"r Of ,htm can, therefore,
be trusted on this question.
What, then, can the advocates Of
silver as money do? What should they
do? What course must they pursue
on this most moment 'rs Of all gu. s..
tions that have " r arisen to dist, rb
the smlcable relations and arrest the
prosperity Of the people ofthe Unite

An Experts Opinion.

Our readers have doubtless noticed
the numerous discussions by the scisn-
fists and hygienists as to the relative
value of the various baking powders A
careful sitting of the evidence leaves no
doubt as to the superiority of the Roye.l
Baking Powder in purity, wholesome
ness and strength, from a scientific
standpoint. An opinion, however, that
will have perhaps greater influence
with our practical housekeeperS, is that
given by Marion Harland, the we'll
known and popular writer, upon mat
tiers pertaining to the science of d9mes-
tic economy, of housekeeping, and of
home cooking. In letter published in
the Philadelphia Ladies Home Journal,
this writer says:
Il regard the Royal Baking Powder
as the best manufactured and in the
market. so far as have any experience
in the use of such compounds. Since the
introduction of it into my kitchen, l
have used no other in making biscuits,
cakes, ETC., and have entirely discarded
for such purposes the homemade COM
bination of one-third soda, two-thirds
cream of tartar.
Every box has been in perfect condi-
ton when it came into my hands, and
the contents have given complete salts
faction 1t is an act of simple justice,
and also pleasure, to recommend it
unqualifedly to American housewives.

THE AFRICAN ELEPHANT.
One solution of the Problem of Openin
Up the Dark Continent.

One solution of the Problem of Opening
Up the Dark Continent.
Count Povoleri suggests that if the
herds of tuskers still roaming the wilds
of Africa could be captured and con-
fined in kedahs or co~rals like those
successfully formed in India by the late
Mr.. Sanderson, the turner could still
obtain a fair supply of the material he
covets by saving off the tusks. while
the animals, much safer without them,
could be tanned as beasts of draught
and burden. Without quite accepting
this rather sanguine view as to this do
nestle supply being ever equal to the
present demand, it is undeniablc that
the tanning of the African elephant
would be one of the most important
steps in the civilization and opening up
of Africa which could possibly be
taken. 1t would, indeed. solve many
of the problems which the camel settled
ages ago, when it became, as it is likely
to continue, the ship of the desert ."
But in most of the country now
exciting the interest of Europe
the camel is scarcely suitable
though Capt. Lugard thinks that it
might be very easily naturalized in
Uganda and the lake region generally.
Large parts of east Africa, and GER
tainly broad strips near the sea, are
impossible to beasts of burden on ac-
count of the venomous tsetse fly. Harm
less to man, this insect is fatal to the
horse, sheep, dog, OK, and most gen
orally to the mule and though the i'm
munity of the donkey has been affirmed
the experience of travellers will, we be-
heve, bear us out in affirming that it is
too exceptional to b. depended on by
The trader or explorer. Hence the ne
cessity of employing large gangs of
''pagazi," or porters, with the result
that before a ton of goods gets from
Mombassa t. Uganda. something like
$500 Is added to the cost of il for freight
This renders it impossible to carry any
thing but the highest priced articles,
and practically blocks the way to leCiti-
mate commerce. A railway would. no
doubt. end the difficulty. But a RAILWAY
Is expensive takes long time TO build,
and cannot penetrate every district of
the vast region through which il main
