outside temperature be very cold or moderate.
The air being heated very slowly and steadily
is soft, not too dry, and exceedingly beneficial
to those who suffer from chest or lung troubles,

fierce heat of hot air furnaces or steam is used
house plants will not thrive, but in cases where
hot water is introduced the same varieties of
plants are grown successfully.

THUMB AUTOGRAPHS.
Tho Most Reliable and Safest Means Of
Identification.

Tho Most Reliable and Safest Means Of
Identification.
Two men of science in two different
countries-Mr. Francis Gallon in En-.
gland aud NJ Bertillon in France
have lately recommended means OF
identification which policemen and de-
tectives, with all their ingenuity, seem
never to have employed. These gen.
tlemen have observed that the human
thumb. dipped in ink. in blood. black
lead or in any other loose. adhering
substance, and pressed upon a sheet of
paper. leaves a mark which is per-
fectly characteristic of the individual
Mr.. Gallon has remarked that no
two persons thumbs make the same
mark; the lines and depressions in the
skin. which make q series of wave
lines when pressed upon paper, are
never the same in two different indi.
viduals.
1t is urged that this fact would be
of very great value in the administra-
ton of justice, because a criminal 3
thumb-mark would be a sure means Of
identifying him. no matter what dis
guise he might assume.
II business man wishes to make
use Of signature which it is quite
impossible to forge or counterfeit, he
has only to dip his thumb in the ink
bottle and make a mark with it in con-
nection with his written name No
other thumb will make the same
mark, and it would be practically inn
possible for any one to initiate this

TAKING THE CENSUS.

A Far More Laborious Process Than In
Great Britain.
The question is often asked, Why
can not the United States census be
taken in one day. as is done in Eng
land and many continental countries:
The reasons are obvious on reflection.
In the first place, England, which we
will take for an example, is q COM
pact nation. all the functions of gov
eminent being concentrated at the
national capital. The constabulary
is national, and the census is taken
through it. The skeleton of the body
of enumerators always exists. The
enlargement occurs through the ap.
pointment of temporary constables,
working with the permanent con.
stabulary force. This gives England
and like conditions exist in other
countries-a force always in existence,
or easily brought into existence, for
census purposes. Each constable ID
supplied with a proper quantity OF
blanks for very small district. These
he distributes one day and collects
the next. They are to be filled out
by the head of the household. and are
to contain the names and facts relat.
ing to each person living under the
roof at midnight
The United States Government has
no force which can be enlarged to a
proper extent for q one-day census
This fact alone would prevent our
Government from following tho
methods adopted in Europe. But
thore is another reason which would
entirely prevent the sdoption of the
European method. The schedule for
the English and continental censuses
is a very small affair, comprehending
but few inquiries relating to the
name. relating to the head Of the
family. condition whether single.
married. etc. sex. age at tho last
birthday, the profession or occupation.
place of birth. and whether deaf.
dumb or blind. This constitutes tho
whole English census. The United
States census comprehends. as we have
seen. very great number of inquiries.
relating to numerous opics.-North

there were but 20 new churches built,
while there were 734 ordinations. The
