The recent Chinese census gave the
population of the empire at about
426,000,000.

According tn vital statistics, the
baby born in 1303 has three times as
good a chanse of living as it would
have had if rorn fifty years ago.
However, the baby born fifty years
ago, if still alive, will probably be
satisfied with the chance that came
his way.

William E. Curtis contributes te
the “race suicide” question some real
figures. Consulting the census sta.
tistics, Mr. Curtis finds that the aver
age numebr of persons in a family has
fallen from 5.6 in 1850 to 4.7 in 1900
The decline has been gradual but
steady. In 1850 the average number
in a family was 5.6; in 1866, 5.3; in
1870, 5.1; in 1880, 5; in 1890, 4.9; ip
1900, 4.7.

The United States annually appro
priates more than $13,000 for foreign
prisons for American offenders. Such
institutions are maintained in China
Korea, Siam, and Turkey. The ncces:
sity for these jails arises out of the’
wretched penal institutions of the
countries named.

The improvement society of Helena,
Mont., has inaugurated the plan of
selling seeds of common garden flow:
ers to the school children of that city
for one cent a package. Many of the
children have bought the seeds, and
say that they are going to really raise
flowers. If any of them do a flower
show will be held this summer, so that
they can show how they have prog
ressed as gardeners, as well as stu
dents.

Chicago is going in strongly for cul
ture. One of the leading railrgads of
the city has offered to crease the
“pants” of eaca of its employees
twelve times a month for nothing in
the hope that there will be presented
to their patrens such a pleasing aspect
that the sight will be worth paying
for and will attract more than the
normal number of travelers. The
idea is very popular among the travel
ing public of Chicago. The only com:
plaint heard is from employees who
possess only one pair of garments:

The Hydrographic Branch of the

WwW. J. Hill, of 40 South Union street,
Concord, N. C., proprietor of hardware
and harness store, Justice of the Peace;
and one of the best known residents |
of that city, says: “Doan's Kidney
Pills proved a very efficient remedy in |
my case. I got a box at the Gibson
Drug Store and used them for disor-
dered liidneys and backache, frog
which I had experienced a great de.
of annoyance, trouble and pain. TH
kidney secretions had bothered me fol
a long while, were very irregular, dark
colored and full of sediment. The Pills
cleared it all up and I have not had
an ache in my back since taking the
last dose. My back is much stronger
and my health generally is improved
a great deal. I am glad to make a pub-
lic endorsement of the Pills, trusting
that it may be the means of relieving
some other sufferer.”
