Some Things to Disbelieve.

When a man advertises for. a partner,
and wants young man to put. in a
small investment of one hundred or five
hundred dollars and promises to him a
realization of fifty or one hundred per
cent. profit, don't believe it. When a
man offers to give away knowledge of
the utmost value for the cure Of con-
sumption, and any and all other dis
eases, by merely sending a three-cent
stamp to prepay postage, don't believe
it.. When a man proposes to do his ut
most to make every one else rich, and
looks to other peoples interest more
than his own, don't believe it. When a
man offers to give you something of
great value for something of less value
in other words, to give you something
for nothing, don't believe it. Many per-
sons advertise on purpose to fitch young
men of money gained by hard labor,
and before entering into any specula-
ton which may be offered you, take adj
vantage of the many means ut your
command and ascertain the facts with
reference to the proposed business be-
fore you invest, and thus save your
money and assist in cffectually breaking
up all swindling establishments.

Census, expresses the opinion that the
coming census will show the population
of the country to be-between forty seven
and forty-eight millions Without at
tempting to go into the details, he said
there would be found to be quite large
increase Of population In the Western
States, particularly in Kansas, Iowa and
Minnesota. The Southern States, he
said, would also show an increase in
population. The largest relative in
crease, perhaps, in any State in the
Union, would be found in Texas, while
Missouri, Tennessee and Northern Ala
bama would also show a decided in
crease. He did not believe that there
would be any actual decline in any of
the States, North or South.
