According to Herbert Spencer the Merovingian princes also had more than one wife. But so far as is known no civilized European government ever authorized the practice. In the thirty years* war the Diet of Franconia, sitting at Nu­ remberg, passed the following remark­ able law, "permitting each man to inarry two wives, on account of the numerical superiority of the women." Article 3 of this law ran: "Any man is allowed to marry two wives, but hus­ bands are advised that if the fate of two persons is intrusted to them they must in turn behave with prudence and discretion, providing for them suf­ ficiently and taking such measures as mar prevent quarrels." Herbert Spen­ cer may consider the Diet which could pass sufch a law civilized. And they may have been, but to the casual ob­ server it would seem that they were also to a certain extent insane.

This means that the blood nceos J attention and sensible people always take a tonic at this time of year. Purgatives are t not the ridht medicine -- they weaken instead of strengthening.

Holmes, o? the University, has written a letter on good roads, In which he says: "Dirt roads are the most expensive roads that can be used. "Macadam roads, properly construct­ ed, are the most satisfactory and the cheapest roads yet discovered. "Trained labor and competent en­ gineering supervision are as important in building roads as they are in the building of railroads, ot any other spe­ cial business. "Convicts make cheap and satisfac­ tory road builders, and every short- term convict in North Carolina ought to be at work on the ptiblic roads of the State. "Hills and mud holes, both <#f whlcb are avoidable, are the two most ex­ pensive features about the dirt roads.1 . "AH road work should tie done VitSb a view to its permanency. A 'poorly built macadam road is largely^a waste of time and money, "Good roads are expensive, but in tho long run they are far cheaper than ba4 roads. "The bad roads in North Carolina to­ day cost her people in labor and money but little ieos'ithan $10,000,000 a year, and yet over two-thirds of the counties In the States will refuse to levy a small pittance of a tax for good roads, which would help throw off this terrible bur­ den. " "This enormous bad road tax Is "to­ day the biggest factor in the industrial depression from which our people are suffering. It is as real a tax as any man ever paid. It is the largest tax we pay." 1 --# . Good Roads Notes. The farmers of Missouri have organ­ ized improved roads committees in ev­ ery county in the State. There Is a growing sentinpnt m favor of adding a department of road study to our college and university courses. Highways which are rendered Im­ passable by ordinary rains--and there are many of them--are not fit to be called roads. The business men of Buc.vras, Ohio, have organized for the purpose of adopting a system for improving the roads in that vicinity. Narrow tires and mud roads should speedily be sent, hand in hand; as it were, "glimmering through the dream of things that were.** The Grand Rapids, Michigan, Her­ ald, very pertinently observes that the Board of Trade, of that city, could con­ sistently take a band in the good roads movement. An argument offered for the employ­ ment of prisoners in building roads is that the fear of such public degrada tion will deter from the commission of petty crimes, and will lessen the incur­ sion of tramps into a community. The cycling associations of Chicago, which have formed an alliance for se­ eming better legislation, have practic­ ally decided to drop for the present the fight against the cycle baggage law and confine their efforts to a move for good roads. Road-building by county-jail inmates is to. be undertaken in Oneida County, New York. This is following the ex ample in Warren and. St. Lawrence Counties, where the plan is in success ful operation, even at a distance of six or eight miles from the jail. Under the Higbie Good Roads law, of New York, eight miles of stone road can now be built at a cost of only $1. 800 to the property owners. The whole cost is $12,000, of which the county has to pay $4,200, the State $6,000, and the property owners the balance. .of Hanfield, in Sussex, Eng- BOY WONDER IN MATHEMAtlQS. Eleven-Year-Old Lad W ho Solves Hard Problems in Trigonometry. Attention itas been directed recently to a little 11-year-old boy named Alex­ ander Itowley, who lives In the quaint old town land. The cause of young Bowley's sudden fame among men of learning, particu larly those interested in higher nrathe mattes, is his remarkable talent for trigonometry--Indeed, in this particu­ lar he is one of the most precocious youngsters of the nineteenth century In all other respects young Bowlcy is simply a rollicking, mischievous Eng­ lish boy, full ot health and spirits, and rather Inclined to be cheeky. He is practically self-taught, as he has never been to school. And, although his father was able to help him at first, the boy has become father to the man, and long ago passed the paternal math- fmatieian. t^s WorSaonTrigonometry, but not to any other of his text-books. Before he was put to mathematics he was forever puzzling his head over squares, double acrostics, etc., and at the age of 8 he was found solving sen­ tences in cipher. So he was given a little Euclid. He is making fair head­ way In other studies. As an instance of his knowledge of trigonometry he was recently given twenty-six trigonometrical transforma­ tions, out of which he quickly solved eighteen, while out of seven of the more difficult examples of functions of two angles from Todbunter's large work he solved six. 'ANY a dutiful daughter pays hi pain for h«r mother's ignorance or perhaps neglect, The mother suffered and she thinks her daughter firast sniffer also. This is true only to a limited extent. No excessive pain is healthy. Every mother should inform her­ self for her own sake and especially for the sake of her daughter. Write to Mm Pinkhatn, at Lynn, Mass., for her advice about all matters concerning the ills of the feminine organs. , Many a young girl's beauty is wasted by unnecessary pain at time of menstruation, and many indulgent mothers with mistaken kindness permit their daughters to grow careless about physical health. Miss CARRIE M. LAMB, Big Beaver. Mich., writes: " DEAR MRS. FINKHAM--A year ago I suffered from profuse and Irregular menstruation and leucorrhoea. My appetite was variable, stomach sour and bowels were not regular, and was subject to pains like colic during menstruation. I wrote you and began to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and used two packages of Sanative Wash, Youcan't imagine my relief. My courses are natural and general health improved." MRS. NANNIE ADKINS, ~&a Due, Mo., writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM-- I feel it my duty to tell, . you of the good yotir, Vegetable Compound has done my daughter. She suffered untold agony at time of menstruation be­ fore taking your medicine; but the Compound has relieved the pain, given her a better color, and she feels Stronger, and has improved every way. I am very grateful to M you for the benefit she has received, for young girls.' It is a great medicine THE MAKING OF A KNICHT. Curious Dwai fl»m in Ptnes. A curious instance of dwarfism in pines Is recorded by C. E. Bessey of the I niversity of Nebraska. On Green mountain, near Boulder, Co'.o., lie found in a crevice of the rock at the summit a pine tree (pinus albieaulis engelm) oaly thirteen centimeters (under three laches) high and five milimeters (one- si fth inch) in diameter. It had no branches and bore a single tuft of needles at the top. Nevertheless It sliowcd twenty-five distinct annual rings, and was therefore twenty-five years of age. Dogs that Never Bark. There are 'three varieties of the dog that never barks--the Australian dog, the Egyptian shepherd dog and the "lion-headed" dog of Thibet. /" Simple Ceremony by Which the Queen Transforms ' Mr." Into Fir. The party was conveyed by special train and royal yacht to Osborne. They were then assembled in an anteroom, and after being Instructed In the re­ spective parts they were to play were admitted one by one to the presence of tier Majesty. The knight on entering the room made his obeisance twice, and advancing close to her Majesty bowed l third time and dropped on one knee. Her Majesty then rested a sword on his shoulder for a moment and uttered the Avords "Sir " (mentioning only the Christian name). She next placed the ribbon of the order round his neck and attached the badge to a clip which had already been fastened on his breast. He then raised his arm, and the Queen placing her hand on his A'rist, he conveyed It to Ills Hps, rose, bowed and retired backward. The moment the door closed behind film he was seized by two officials, who stripped him of his ribbon and badge »nd placed them hurriedly in a case, which they handed to him with direc- :ions to "deposit it with his great coat." rh$ correspondent's friend did not like :bis. He would have desired that the aadge should remain always on his uniform where the Queen had affixed *. After the whole party had been Jecorated they adjourned to luncheon ind were conveyed back to London in time for dinner.

The state railway system, of Bel- glum, is estimated as the most profit­ able commercial undertaking, both to the government and to the people, ever promulgated In Europe. It consists of 2,800 miles, of which 2,000 are govern­ ment property. Its profits more than pay the entire Interest on the Belgian national debt. The Belgian railways have been the making of the nation, as from a comparatively Insignificant agricultural commonwealth It has late­ ly developed Into a humming bee hive of commercial activity. Other European governments own railways, although In no case has the experiment proved so successful as lh Belgium. Germany, in addition to a large quantity of stock In the railway world, has created the North Sea canal, France, Holland and Russia are also largely interested in their own rail­ roads. Of purely departmental work­ ings the British Post is by far the most profitable in Europe. THE FAMILY LIFE. »ayain Which its iniaence Moid the Character ot the Tonpg. The Indian boys and girls who are be­ ing educated in the school at Carlisle, Pa., spend the summer vacation on the neighboring farms, earning money by Iwork in the field and house. On thefr return, in September, the smaller boys very naturally discussed their experi­ ences. Many of them had bees in the houses of Quakers, and began to Joke good-humoredly at the "plain" dress and language, when a little Navajo gave a shout, and rqshlng up to them, exclaimed: 'Don't thee dare to say anything against the Quakers! They are my friends! I'm a Quaker!" and he plant­ ed both his fists in the face of the last speaker. t>. The same young convert-to the faith of the Friends anxiously inquired on Sunday for the Quaker "church, and find­ ing that therp .was none, took his stool into the yard and sat down on it for quiet meditation. The teachers (pf the Indian children say that this residence as individuals in different families for part of the year is an unmistakable help to their civil­ ization. They are brought under direct home influence, and even, if the home be not a very good one, they learn the rout­ ine of domestic life, and the happiness which lies tp affection, self-control and trifling, everyday acts of unselfishness. In a recent report of the managers of several orphan and foundling asylums in England, the fact was urged as of special significance that while the girls trained in these institutions made excel­ lent housemaids or laundresses, they could not be trusted as nurses of chil­ dren. The tralhing In a large body could give them orderly habits, but left dormant their affections and their wom­ anly, ̂ motherly instincts. So many girls are now pushing out of their homes to find a life in public that these facts have a significance that should not be overlooked.

How a Malay Woodcutter Bagged Big Tigers. An extraordinary shooting adventure Is recorded by A. L. Butler, of the State Museum, Selangor, Malaya, in the last number of the Bombay Natural History Society's Journal. One day In last July a Malay woodcutter went out Into the jungle to cut fuel, taking with him, on the off-chance of a shot at deer, an old single-barreled muzzle-loading gun, loaded'with the rather unscientific charge of a bullet and four buckshot. Moving quietly through the jungle, he suddenly came upon a tiger feeding on the carcass of a sambhur, and, with touching confidence In his weapon, fired at a distance of twenty paces. The tiger rolled over, and, when the Malay cautiously approached, he found not one dead tiger, but two, the second hav­ ing been hidden from the sportsman, though only a few feet distant from the animal he fired at.' Mr. Butler, who made a post-mortem examination of the tigers after they had been skinned, found that in each case a single buck­ shot had gone to the heart. One had also an insignificant wound on the head from another pellet. "For a really ap­ palling fluke," as Mr. Butler says, "this achievement of the Malay wood­ cutter will be hard to beat." It Is cer­ tainly not a performance any sane white man wilt try to parallel, much less to eclipse. Nearly one-third of the churchgoers of the United States are Roman Cath­ olics.
