The populist legislature of Kansas
will have before it a bill to make
the Mexican silver dollar a legal
tender for 100 cents. 1t is argued
by the populists that, as the consti-
tuition prohibits the states from
making anything except "gold and
silver" legal tender, it is implied
that the states have the right to
make those metals legal tender at
their discretion; and the federal
government. itself has more than
once made foreign coin legal tender.
The Kansas Popullsts are evident

IT the year were divided into Is
instead of Il months, with q days
in each of them except the Is, which
should have 80 days in ordinary
years and 30 days in leap years, then
calendars would be practically un-
necessary and many calculations, as
of interest, the maturing of notes,
ETC., would be matters of great sim,
plicity. For, with such a division
of the year, each day OF the week
would come at the same dates in
each month. If Jan. l, say were
Monday, the 1st, 9th, 25th, and 22d
of each month that year would be
Monday ; the I'd, 9th, 10Th, and 23d

tages Of this system are obvious, and

clssing what chances there is of

TIE SILVER QUESTION INANuTsHELL
Free Coinage of Bricks would Not Raise
Their Price.

Free Coinage of Bricks would Not Raise
Their Price.
Did you ever stop to think what
would be the result if the government
should by legislation determine that or
dinary building bricks 2 by 4 by
inches in size should be legal tender in
any amount for 81 each and should ar
range to have them so stamped in any
quantity free of cost to the persons pre-
senting them?
Under such circumstances the price
Of building bricks would at once advance
to 81 900 thousand, for if they could
be stcoined" without cost the bricks
'uncoined' would be worth just as
much as the 'coined'' bricks-$1 each.
But did it ever occur to you that it
would not be an advance in the value of
the bricks, but decrease in the value
of the dollars, which would thus estab-
lish new parity between money and
property ;'' that under such a system
81, 900 would be worth only 1000
bricks; that that 1000 bricks would
exchange for no more commodities or
labor than it does today, and conse-
quently that 81 900 would mean no
more to us than 1. 900 bricks do now?
In other words, our government can
determine by legislation what commod-
ity and what amount of that commodity
81 shall be, but it must leave it to the
laws of comparative supply and de-
mand, cost of production, etc., TO de-
termine what the value of that COM
modify shall be. 1t may declare that
brick shall be dollar, in which case
81 will be worth whatever brick will
exchange for. 1t may declare that 25. 8
grains of gold shall be dollar, in
which case 81 will be worth whatever
25.S grains of gold will exchange for,
Or it may declare that 4121s grains of
silver shall be dollar, in which case 81
will be worth only what 41211s grains of
silver Will exchange for. the same to-
day as 5O.3 cents in gold, or, "giving
the debtor the option as to what dollar
he shall use with which to pay his
debts, it may declare that each of these
three shall be a dollar, in which case
81 will be worth just as much as the
least valuable of the three, which under
present conditions would be the brick.

Largest BOOK in I'll. world.

The largest book in the world,
according to a recent lecture by
professor Max Muller OF Oxford, ,
is the "Kutho Daw; or the Reli-
gious Codex Of the Buddhists."
It is written on marble slabs, 729
in number, which it takes city
of pagodas to house, for each slab
has its own separate house.
These stand not far from the
ancient city of Mandalay, once
the capital of Burmah. Contrary
to what might be supposed. this
gigantic work was constructed
during this century, it being done
at the command of Mindomin
the second of the last Kings OF
Burmah.
Owing to the influence of the
tropic rains and heat and the fall
ing to ruins of some OF the brick
buildings, the inscriptions are be-
comirg defuced. A British official
Mr. Ferarrs, has petitioned tn
Government for financial aid in
order to have these 729 plates
carefully photographed. lfhe fails
in interesting the Government, he
will ask for popular subscription
for the purpose. New York Jour.

Riding Stang.

A strange custom in the north of
England ON New Years day slightly
resembles the game for Easter week
known as "heaving." 1t was called
riding stang" A stang is the same
thing as a cowl staff. A cowl staff is a
big staff for carrying cowl, and cowl
is water vessel with handle. through
which the staff is passed so that it may
be- carried by two men. Now, on New
Years day as many people as liked,
men and women. came together in q
crowd with stangs and baskets. Every
body who was not with the crowd was
