DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS.
WORLDS LARGEST BRICKYARD
Enormous Bank of Easily Accessible
Clay Is Located at Peterbor-
m Ough, England.

Peterborough, England, makes enough
brick in the course of year to
put girdle four times around the earth.
1t is estimated that the busy brick-mak-
ing yards, which have grown up in
great number around the ancient city
In the last 20 years, turn out 800, OOO, 900
bricks annually. AS the length of
brick is about eight inches, then, if
Peterborough's annual output were laid
out in single line, it would stretch over
100000 miles. The brick industry has
revolutionized the trade of Peterbor-
ough. Such is the wealth of clay and
the profit to be drawn from it that one
part of the brick-making district has
been fifty named "Klondike." 1t lies in
beds of enormous area and depth, and
some of the experts say they could go on
taking out easily accessible clay for the
next century without taking thought as
to where the next supply of the mate
rial is to come from.

King as schoo1master.

King Christian, of Denmark, received
the following letter a few days ago:
Dear King-We are four pupils of the
school at this place. Our master
thrashes us every day with a heavy
steel rod, which he picked up in the
harbor, and we want to let you know
that If he doesn't stop we will be
obliged to do something desperate"
The king at once instructed the minis
ter of justice to investigate the affair
and then he took the first train to the
school, with the intention of having a
talk with the pupils himself. 1t hap
pened that the master was absent and
the king, seating himself at the desk
in the schoolroom, summoned all the
pupils before him and asked them to
tell him freely of their grievances
This they did and the aged monarch
replied by assuring them that they
would be better treated in the future,
and his majesty saw to this himself.-.

THE METRIC SYSTEM.
Something of Interest on the Sub
ject from the French Society
of Civil Engineers.

1t Is incontestable that the adoption
of a single system of measures in the
whole civilized world would be a great
benefit in international relations, says
the Iron Age. 1t is incontestable, on
the other hand, that none of the sys-
TENS in existence is comparable with
the metric system from the point of
view of it's organization and of it's ad-
vantages. A great number of coun-
tries have given up their old systems
in order to take the metric system,
but not one of those which have adopt
ed it has abandoned it. excepting tenn
porarily and for political reasons, in
the first years following it's introduce
ton. No country has adopted the Brit
ish system, outside of those which de-
pend Immediately on the United King
torical argument, as also the compar-
ison of the advantages of the two sys-
TENS, shows us that the British sys-
tenn has no chance of being adopted by
countries which are not actually MAX
ing use of it. On the other hand, the
metric system is in constant progress
even in the countries possessing the
British system, while the British sys-
tenn is always falling back. The ulti-
mate fate of the two systems is there
fore absolutely certain; and the more
the definite Introduction of the metric
system into the United States is de-
layed the more the difficult period of
the coexistence of the two systems will
be prolonged For it is undeniable
that already, at the present moment,
the two systems are used there togeth-
err; the British system in domestic
commercial transactions, the metric
system in all scientific work and in the
greater part of foreign commerce.

PoLYGAMoUs MARRIAGES.
One Reason why They Do Not Com
duce to Rapid Increase of
Population.

Many persons have the idea that the
practice of polygamy tends to the more
rapid multiplication of the race. This
view is certainly not held by those
who have had an opportunity to study
the institution, says the New York
Sun.
Some interesting views on the effects
of polygamy in Africa have just been
communicated by Mgr. Roelens, who is
in charge of all the Catholic missions
on the upper Congo.
He has been travelling through the
Manyema country to the west of Tan
ganyika, where, he says. before the oc-
cupation of the land by the Arabs,
polygamy was practiced only to a very
limited extent. But wherever the
Arab has passed in Central Africa
polygamy has become the general rule.
The dream of every man is to nave a
harem and keep in it as many women
as he is able to procure.
The result of this practice is the
gradual diminution of the population.
Wherever the white man travels
among native villages in which polyga-
my is practiced on large scale he is
struck by the absence of children.
1t is true that some chiefs have many
children. But they are the exception.
and even the number of their children
is never in proportion to the number
OF women in their harems.
Most of the men who have three.
four or more wives have only two or
three children. 1t is not very difficult
to explain this remarkable fact.
The woman is property, and is
bought or sold as cattle are marketed.
The price of young women is, of
course, much higher than that of mid
die aged or old women. But only the
elderly chiefs are sufficiently wealthy
to be able to buy young women for
their harems.
AS a rule, the young men on arriv-
Ing at the marrying age are not able
to pay for the luxury of a young wife.
They are compelled to make up their
establishments with older women, and
even with those who have been aban
doned by their husbands. While they
ehAO OoloOlloullS IuCll WlfCo III
their huts surrounding their own habi-
tations their elderly fathers are filing
their harems with young women.
AS time goes on and the young men
approach or attain to old age they are
probably wealthy enough to initiate
their deceased fathers and console
their declining years with young
wives. Thus it happens that most
polygamous marriages are ill assorted
and are blessed with few children or
none at all. The more polygamy is
practised the more slowly the popula-
ton augments.
On the other hand, Mgr. Roalens
says he has passed through many
towns where polygamy is not prac-
ticed and he has often been astonished
at the multitude of children who live
in these villages. He speaks of one
little village in which he counted more
than 300 children, while the adults
were much less numerous.

BANANAS, NOT PAJAMAS.
When 1t Was Introduced
Spoke His Mind.

Walter Camp, the athletic adviser of
Yale university, was recently entertain
ing gathering of his undergraduate
friends with experiences of his own, says
the New York Tribune.
He told of dinner where charming
young woman was seated next to an ex-
ceedingly deaf old man. She had done
her best to interest him, but had found
it necessary to shout out each remark
unto the third and fourth narration be-
fore the old man could catch the point.
So the time dragged aong, till the din
ner was waning and the fruit was passed.
The young woman determined to make
a final effort at being agreeable, so she
threw her voice into saying:
DO you like bananas?"
'How's that?" asked her neighbor, in
surprised tone.
do you like bananas?" she repeated.
'Well, my DEAR" he replied, so long
as you have introduced the topic, l will
say, that | much prefer the old-fashioned
nightshirt."

THE EAST INDIAN WAY.
Revenge Is Sought with the Aid Gf
Poison Concealed i'm Most
Ingenious Way.

A trade journal tells story of an ad-
venture which nearly cost one of its
correspondents in India his life The In
dian merchant was wealthy man who
had got on we'll with the natives, but two
of his servants had had quarrel over
girl whom they both wooed. The mer-
chant interfered in the fight. The un-
successful sutton, Laj, began to make
trouble, and his rival, the husband,
warned the merchant against him. Moth
ing happened for some months. Then
the merchant went away on business.
On his return he was told that Laj had
been caught in his bedroom and
locked up.
In the east this meant trouble, says
Youths Companion. The merchant
called his servants and had a thorough
search made of the house. They exam
ined every trunk, bureau and bedstead
every picture, statue and crevice in the
wall and crack in the floor, expecting to
find hooded cobra or other poisonous
reptile. They scrutinized every knob
handle and garment to see if it had been
smeared with poison or with juices which
attracted venomous creatures. Then
they searched the wine-cellar, the PAN
try and the storeroom. But they found
nothing.
The merchant was tired, and after eat
ing, went to the cabinet where he kept
his cigars. 1t was large case of teak
and plate glass, with an old-fashioned
silver Indian lock.
AS he was about to insert the key in
the keyhole, Laj's successful rival, who
had been active in the search, cried:
Look out, sahib, some one has been
meddling with that lock!"
They examined the keyhole and found
traces of wax. When they opened the
case the merchant found everything ap-
parently untouched. Five boxes OF
the sixth before he went away and re-
moved few cigars. AS he took this box
up he noticed on it the marks of dirty
fingers.
The cigars looked as if they had not
been disturbed. He was about to take
one when he noticed that something was
wrong with the head A second and a
third were like the first In each a
small almost imperceptible rose thorn
had been inserted, and on it was dab
of brown slime, still moist, the same
color as the cigar.
do not touch them, sahib,' said the
Indian. They are poisoned"
The merchant sat down and wrote q
note to the police. In half an hour an
officer appeared with Laj under guard.
The merchant stated the case to the off,
Ger, and taking one of the cigars, handed
it to Laj with the command: Take 1t
and smoke it."
The man turned gray and refused. His
guilt was proved.

men of splendid talents and high
mentality. The atmosphere about him

OF the protection of the property in

that line, and naturally he was con-
tinually reading the law in that direc-

from that standpoint.

heart. He took the first train home
