When I received the •ample of Doan’s Kidney Pills I was suffering terribly with my back,was sick and Unfit to do anything. The several remedies I had used, though highly recommended, did no good, but rather irritated the trouble and made me worse. Before I had used up the sample I was feeling so much better that l got more from the drug store. I could not sleep at night. Had to get up 6ix or eight times, and the urine was so red, would almost think it was part blood there w as a thick sand, like brick-dust sedi ment. I cannot tell one-half that I suf fered, nor how good I feel now that I am cured by Doan’s Kid ney Pills ; but here I ora, 6ixty-six years old, able to do my own work, feeling well as I did twenty years ago, for which I thank Doan’s Kidney Pills ten thousand times.

In the San Jose papers once or twice a week he Inserts a little no tice something like the following, which appeared last Monday: FOUND ASLEEP—So you slept in church yesterday, did you? Well, it was rather a drowsy day, but if you had been at the Second Presbyterian Church you wouldn’t have dozed. The pastor preached two earnest, enthusias. tic sermons, and the musio was alive and inspiring. Mrs. Hillman Smith sang that old favorite, "The Holy City,” to the enjoyment of all, and the chorus choir rendered two anthems. The congregation was nearly as Iprge as the church itself. An old-timer there looked around and remarked to a bystander, "Well, I declare, I thought I knew every one who came to this church, but the last few weeks I don’t seem to know more than half of them."—San Francisco Bulletin. During the last seven years the pop. ulation of Europe has risen in round numbers from 216,000,000 to 400,000,- 000; that of Asia and Africa has prob ably increased a little more slowly; that of America has become more than three and a half times as great as it was in 1830. Altogether, the world’s population is now about 1,800,000,000, and was 847,000,000. ee*e*9te*e —. THE • ■ CON L ROL A OR LATE OF MARRIAGES HEREDITY. [-• • •'~ OJS— -ipsjL IVER WENDELL M I®) Holmes’s remark that a man’s education should be gin with his grandfather, HI Hj and if possible, oven ear ller, is the text of a very interesting book on “The Control of Heredity; a Study of the Genesis of Evolution and Degeneracy,” by Caspar Lavater Redfield. By careful study of the families from which the great men, both ancient aud modern, of the world sprung, Mr. Red field proves that the exceptionally gifted individuals of the race have been, as a rule, the children of fathers who married late in life. Mr. Redfield goes further than Dr. Holmes, and says that one’s education should include a considerable amount accumulated by one’s great-grandpa rents, and that the amount of one's mental power will be proportioned to the accumulation of the three genera tions. He predicts that the race which will in future dominate the world is that one which can increase in numbers at the latest average age or reproduc tion. The increase does not need to be rapid, but it must be actual, Fear need not be expressed because some earlier reproducing race is increasing more rapidly, for when the pressure of population becomes greater the earlier reproducing and less intelligent races will give way before the stronger and more intelligent. To prove his case he selects twenty five famous Americans from those ad mitted to the Hall of Fame, among them Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Emerson, Longfellow aud many distin guished jurists and statesmen. He finds that George Washington's father, Augustin, was thirty-eight years old at the time of his son’s birth; that Augustin was born of a father over thirty-three years of age, who was the son of a man of thirty-four. Mr. Redfield examined the ancestry of each of these famous men in detail. Finally, by adding the ages of their twenty-five fathers together and divid ing by twenty-five, he obtains an av erage age of fatherhood of thirty-six years six mouths aud twenty-two days, four years above that of the whole population. By examining the records of great men of all ages and times, notably Solomon, born when King David was fifty-three; Confucius, who was the son of a man between sixty-five and sev enty; Alcibiades, whose father was over fifty when his warrior son was born; Augustus Caesar, whose father’s age Mr. Redfield x’oughly approximates at fifty-seven, the author proves that the overwhelming majority of the world’s greatest intellects were born of fathers of mature years, 1.-fr. Redfield assumes a youth, healthy, act'.;’- <-* average mental ability, and his life history. As he approaches thirty he interests himself more in literature, art and music. He •goes to theatres and to concerts. At thirty-five he is the em bodiment of artistic taste. As he approaches forty he becomes more interested in practical affairs. He begins to work for dollars, not for fame. lie looks less at the beautiful and more at the practical anTl useful. He takes an active interest in polities. When In his fifties he has passed the heat and passions of youth and looks more at the moral and philosophical side of things. Statesmanship, the good of mankind, engrosses his atten tion. Having established this typical fa ther, Mr. Redfield proceeds to study what effect the different changes in his character as it develops will have on his offspring produced, during the different ages. Under a strict inter pretation of the laws of use-inheritance we should expect the sons of very young men to be aggressive, active and egotistical; that children born of fathers between thirty and forty would show a love for the poetic and the beautiful; that sons produced between forty and fifty would be keen, prac tical men of affairs, and those born after the half-century mark would be philosophers, moral reformers and philanthropists. This Mr. Redfield declares to be very largely correct. He instances .Aris totle, Bacon, Buddha, Confucius, Franklin, Leibnitz, Moses, Seneca and Solomon as born of philosophic fathers all over fifty years of age. The keen, practical business men and statesmen born to fathers between forty and fifty arc Illustrated by Bis mark. Canning, Carnot, Cato, Crom well, Gladstone, Webster, Peter' the Great and Machiavelll. Poets, musicians and artists whose fathers were between thirty and forty years of age at the time of their birth were Bach, Beethoven, Goethe, Schil ler, Shakespeare, Angelo, Raphael, Rembrandt, Carlyle, Goldsmith anil Macaulay, while the children born of young aggressive fathers between twenty-two and thirty were Alexander, Napoleon, Charlemagne, Charles XII., Frederick Grant, Hannibal, Pompey and many others. In a chapter on Degeneracy, which lie defines as “a tendency toward a development less perfect or less ad vanced than that which is normal or healthy.” Mr. Redfield declares that degeneracy as well as intellectual strength appears most commonly in the children of old parents. He cites the history o' a famous fam ily of criminals and paupers, as given by Lugdale, that of the “Jukes.” In this case the first generation is not definitely located, but’from the second, consisting of five sisters, born about 1770, 540 criminal and pauper descend ants were registered within 100 years. The history of these 540 persons is a long, revolting record of disease, pau perism and crime. From the study of these families Dugdale drew a number of conclusions, of which Mr. Redfield cites: Crime as compared to pauperism indicates vigor. Pauperism is an indi cation of weakness of some kind, either youth, disease, old age or injury. Ihe eldest child tends to become the THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. criminal of the family, and the young est child the pauper. Sir. Redfield explains the compara tive vigor of the first children of de generate families by saying that amoug the illiterate criminal class a person reaches his best physical development not far from the age of twenty-five, after which decline, due to intemper ance or other excesses, begins. There fore, children horn early in the life of such parents are physically more vig orous than those horn at an age wliefi healthy people are at their best. The eldest of the eldest are tlierefortt the only persons of the degenerate class likely to be physically vigorous.—New York World. PIGEON FLYING. Ideal Racing System as Conducted at Present* It cannot he imagined for an instant that “athletic” pigeons, those birds that compete in exciting races over mauy States, are ever guilty of foul tactics on their great aerial track, but the fact remains that in no sport are such great precautions taken against unfair practices as in pigeon flying for prizes. Could the birds speak they would probably say that it was “the thing called man” that the judges have to keep “tabs” on, aud the birds would be right. When pigeons are entered In such a race there are officials on hand from the moment (lie birds leave their home lofts until they are set free to wing their way over hundreds of miles of country. The only reason that the officials let the birds fly ovr- , the course alone is because air sliipiC are not yet as numerous or as safe as railroad trains, and to date they pre fer to see to it that the owners are not guilty of any deception aud give the birds the benefit of any doubt. All races take place under the rules of the national association, to which the competing lofts belong. Every homing pigeon is registered hv number, sex and color at the national head quarters of the organization of which its owner is a member, and wears on its leg a metal baud on which is in scribed its registered number. When a district race is to he held, say a hundred mile race, which would be the distance between Jersey City and Wilmington, Del., the lace secre tary or committee notifies all the lofts in the district. A competent man is left at the southern city to start the birds. Then the officials get in their work at the northern end of the line. One of them must he at the station and express the birds. The pigeons are taken from the basket one by one and on the leg of each is attached a metal counter hand bearing a number or let ter unknown to the bird’s owner or any one else hut the official. A record is then made of the left band number, counter hand number and color and sex of the pigeon. When the birds are started from the southern point, the liberator tele graphs to the race secretary the time the birds were set free and the direc tion of the wind at the time. Each competing loft owner knows about the time to expect his entries, and is on the lookout for them in the of the loft with a paten t ’ T'bCu ill HSnd. Thoao clocks are ingenious contrivances. When ,the first bird arrives the loft owner as Quick as he possibly can slips the counter band into n receptacle tit one end of the clock and closes a slide which stops the time-piece and locks it. Only the race officials can open it. Eacli clock has two separate com partments, each of which keeps time, so the loft owner rtill has one remain ing compartment to register the time of arrival of his other entries. When the second bird arrives its counter is removed and placed in the second com partment, which is not locked and closed until one hour after the second bird has arrived, in order to permit of the timing of all other birds that ar rive during that hour. When the time lias elapsed and the bands of the birds are in the slide is securely locked. Within two hours after the arrival of his first bird each loft owner must have his clock at the race secretary’s office. All the clocks are then opened by that official for the comparison of times, in order to determine the winning birds.—New York Commercial Advet> tiser. Where the Rig Floods Originate. The people who look upon tlie great yellow-brown river that flows past this city do not realize what a vast flood of water gnd what an enormous as semblage of forces are concerned in its movement. The nroa drained by this river and Its tributaries equals one third of the territory of the United States. This area may be divided into the following drainage basins, with their respective areas: Miles. The Missouri River 518,000 The upper Mississippi 100,000 The Ohio River 214.000 The Arkansas and White 180,000 The St'. Francis River 10,500 The Red River 07,000 The Yazoo River 13.850 The small tributaries 28,0.88 Tills immense area covers some twenty-eight States of the Union and extends from the 35th to tlie 50th parallel of latitude and from tlie 70th to the 114th meridian of longitude. Although 1 lie greatest tributaries come in from the West, draining as they do the wide region extending to the Kooky Mountains, fortunately for the people along this mighty river tlie rainfall over that region is small; otherwise Hie Mississippi Valley would be wholly untenable. If Uu> Missouri, which is 3000 miles long, carried as much water in proportion as does tlie Ohio, which has a length of only 1200 miles, the main river would lie five times as great as it is. The Ohio is the chief factor in pro ducing a flood, but alone its waters are comparatively harmless when they get into tlie main river; but when they are supplemented by fresliels out of (lie Arkansas ami the Red they become dangerous. The upper Mississippi is only 1o be feared when its frozen wa ters break into a thaw earlier than usual. The Missouri waters seldom come before June.—New Orleans Picay une.

The owners of the steamship San Nicholas are having no end of trouble In trying to get clearance papers for their vessel from Manila to Nueva Caceres ports. It seems that the ship 1 3 without a flag, and being so cannot be cleared from this port. The Collector of Cus toms has refused to permit the vessel to sail under the United States flag and the Consul of Spain ha3 refused tho use of the Spanish flag. Just where the trouble ltes could not be learned this morning, but It is a fact that the San Nicholas has been or dered not to leave port beforo the flag question Is settled. Three times ha3 the vessel taken on coal and cargo for the southern ports, and three times has she been refused clearance papers by the Col lector of Customs. The boat has heretofore sailed under the company flag, hut as she Is expected to take on a large consignment of money at Neuva Caceres for this port it is es sential that she have a flag of soma nation as a guarantee to the shippers. The owners of the vessel are very much upset over the matter and com plain of the repeated losses which have been incurred by the holding of the boat after being prepared to make the southern voyage three times. The Collector of Customs ts inves tigating the matter and will decide as to what shall be done In the case; vessel must wait.—Manila Cablenows. Professor Edwin G.
