Newspaper Circulation.
A statistician has learned that the
itnuial aggregation of the circulation
3f the papers of the world Is estimated
(to be 12,000,000,000 copies. To grasp
the idea of this magnitude we may
state that it would cover no fewer
'hau 10,450 square miles of surface;
that it is printed on 781,250 tons of
paper; and, further, that if the num-
ber (12,000,000,000) represented, in-
stead of copies, seconds, u would take
more than 333 years for them to
alapse.

"Good news travel! f&at," and the thous-
ands of bad back sufferers in Brenham are
glad to learn that prompt relief is within
their reach. Many a lame, weak and aching
back is no more, thanks to Doan's Kidney
Pills. Our citizens are telling the good news
of their experience with the old Quafeor
remedy. Here is an example worth reading:
H. A1 Branch, of LaGrangp, Texas,
writes. "It is with pleasure that I state that
Doan's Kidney Pilli are the best remedy for
kidney and bladder trouble that I ever
found. They cured me of a severe case of
kidney trouble. I have also tried Doan's
Ointment and think it w>!l do everything
that it is recommended to do."

Perfect Confldencu
Where there used to be a fee'ing of un
eaunees and worry in the household when
a child showed symptoms ol croup, there is
now perfect confidence. This is owing to
the uniform success of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in the treatment of that disease.
Mrs. M. I. Bashtord, of Poole»vil!e, Md., in
speaking of her experience in ths use of that
remedy says: "I have a world of confidence
in Chamberla'n's Ooogh Remedy for I hav-
used it with perfect success. My chilld
Garland is subject to revere attacks of croup
and it always gives him prompt relief." For
fa'e by Jo*. Tristram.
—The estimated value of the
last season's Texas rice orop baa
been placed at $5,402,165.
Value of Self-Command.
Shakespeare made old Adam in "As
You Like It" assign his temperate
youth as the indispensable condition
precedent to his vigorous age. The
condition applies to the mental and
moral sides of mankind as truly as to
the physical. A cheerful self-com-
mand is the most to be desired of
all the gifts of the gods and is some
thing that may be measurably ac-
quired even if the gods denied it at
birth.

Change Name of Almshouses.
Ir o:\ler that no stigma may attach
!o thi' boris in them, the names of
-lu-U almshouses or workhouses are
bWn'K changed. They aro known by
:ti 'h names as "The Holly Trees,"
"'"'w Cedar?.,"' "Ransome Lodge,"
which look all right on a birth certl-
fieaio.
Gas Bad 'for Sleepers.

When Woman Gets ths Lead.
No matter how much a man may
say against the missionary society or

any important matter carried through

is for eternity, and every father and

Have Smaller Faces.
The chief difference in tho heads of
men and of the lower animals Is in
the size of the face. Man has a very
large head and a very small face, and
animals are rnoro fierce and brutal ex-

the rest of the head small,
The Middle Ages.
In the middle ages at certain epochs
the density of population was at times
quite as great as in modern times. In
spite of the density of population, of
urban concentration, witness those
ages as conspicuous instances of bar-
barity and insecurity.
The Modest Professor.
"I never become angry because a
man does not think quite as I do," re-
marked the professor; "for when 1
find a man who disagrees with me I
realize that it,is probably with difilenl-
ty that he thinks at all."
Accusation.

The Japanese u.se paper at every

away after use) Is paper, the parti-
