Sleeping Alone.

1t is very much. healthier to sleep
alone. Tho unhoalthfulnoss of two
persons occupying the Same bed very
much depends on tho physical coudi-
tion Of either or both. If ono is dis
easod, injury to tho other is sure to
result. The practice is unhoalthrul
because tho eXhalations from the body
Of ono como in contact with and arc
absorbed by tho skin of the other,
and because each ono must, of neces-
sity, breathe some OF tho air which
bus boon brcathcd by the other, and
consequently rendered impuro.--I Her-

THE REAL GENTLEMAN,
Wherein He Differs from the snob and
the ParVenu.

Wherein He Differs from the Snob and
the Parvonu.
TO a. sensible woman gentleman
ought to be tho equal of any one that
wears title, no matter what his rank
or what his nation. To be a thorough
gentleman is to be that which neither
money nor estates nor insignia can buy
1t is peculiarly a birthright. 1t is in
hcrited in the blood and sure to make
its appearance, oven under the most I'M
propitious conditions.
There is a sort of false gentility that
is soon acquired and is affected by the
snobs and tho parvenus that have sud-
denly acquired riches. But this is
very cheap device in comparison with
tho genuine article. No one can be de-
coived by the counterfeit, because the
mark of Il real gentleman does not alone
consist of entering a drawing-room
gracefully or of making a bow in the
proper form. These accomplishments
may DO necessary in order to help one
to fix his position in polite society, hut
they are really nothing compared to
those graces of mind, manner and morals
that true gentleman is sure to possess.
A good definition Of a real gentleman
is one that adhcres closely to tho spirit
Of the wise utterances of the Saviour:
''Therefore, all things whatsoever We
would that men should do to you, do We
oven, so to them" A strict following OF
this golden precept is infinitely better
for tho individual and society than all
tho finished bowings and scrapings
under the sun.-I}altimore Sun

TAKING THE CENSUS.

The following from Monday s Silver
State gives the manner Of taking the
census, the compensation Of deputies
and other particulars:
"The act approved March 1, 1880,
providing for taking the eleventh
census of tho United States, divides
the country in to 175 districts and
provides Supervisor of the Census
for each district. Nearly all those
Supervisors have been appointed,
Geo. I. Lammon, of Virginia City,
having been appointed for the Dis
trict of Nevada. Each district is to
be subdivided into sections, each Of
which is to contain as near as possible
1000 inhabitants, according to the
last census. For each section an
enumeration is appointed and of these
there will probably be 10000. II is
expected that enumerators should be
selected with reference to physical
activity and aptness for the work,
neatness and accuracy in writing and
the use of figures. The law requires
active, energetic men of good address
ond readiness with the pen. The
enumeration will commence on the
first Monday of June, 1880, and must
be completed in two weeks in cities
having over. 10000 inhabitants &C
cording to the census of 1880, and in
all other districts before the 1st Of
July.
"The compensation to be paid to
cnumcrators is fixed by section II of
tho Act of March l, 1889, and provides
q minimum rate Of 2 cents FOE each
living inhabitant. 2 cents for each
death, 10, cents for each farm, 20
cents for each establishment Of pro
ductive industry and Scents for each
surviving soldier, sailor or marine,
or widow of soldier, sailor or marine,
enumerated and returned, for all sub
divisions whore such allowance shall
DO doomed sufficient. In oil other
subdivisions, where higher rates are
to be paid, according to the difficulty
of enumeration, the maximum rates
shall not he moro than three cents
for each living inhabitant, twenty
conts for each farm, and thirty conts
for each establishment of productive
industry; nor shall they be loss than
S3 nor moro than Sc per day Of ten
hours, actual field work each, in case
per diem compensation is estab-
lished. Except in extreme cases no
claim for mileage or travelling ex-
penses will be allowed to any enumer-
ator, and then only when authority
has boon previously granted by the
Superintendent Of Census"
From tho above it appears that The
INDEPENDENT was in error as to the
compensation allowed enumerators
for doing tho work, and the pay is to
be regulated according to the labor
required in obtaining the necessary
information.

A RANCHER'S REVENGE
Charged With Firing a Mil,
at Palouse City.
BUILDING WAS BURNED DOWN
By Hard Work the Bridge and
Mill Dam Were Saved
Culprit Arrested.

PALousE CRY, WASH. Aug. 20. Quite
an excitement was created in this city
about $3.50 tonight by someone sound
ing fire alarm. On looking east flames
were seen arising from Il. M. Smith $
gristmill. The fire company responded
promptly, but to their dismay II was
found impossible to check the flames,
owing to their not being able TO reach
the fire with tho quantity of hose on
hand. A team was Immediately secured
and sent to the depot to get tho hose
which had arrived last Tuesday, but
through the negligence Of the city
fathers had not been placed In
the hosehouse. Upon the arrival OF
the new hose the firemen set TO work to
save the bridge and mill dam, and in
this they succeeded after considerable
hard work. The fire is supposed to be
of inccndiary origin.
Mr.. Smith, proprietor of the mill, had
hot words with one 4. G. Mitchell, u
rancher living u few miles east OF here,
and Mitchell was heard to say that he
would get even with Smith. Several
parties saw him In the vicinity of the
mill to-day. Immediately ON the dis.
covery Of the fire posse was organized
to search for Mitchell, but they found
him without much difficulty among the
crowd. lie is now in Jail, and, If con-
victed, he will surely get the full extent
of the law.

BUILDING A MONSTER AIR SHIP.
Boston Man Has New Forse
for Aerial Navigation.

BosTos, Mass, Aug. 2o.-Charles G.
l.oeber, of this city has prepared the
plans for an immense mir ship, which he
proposes to construct, and is now raising
or trying to raise a syndicate to take
hold of the enterprise. The ship is de-
signed as a means of Communication be-
tween this country and Europe. lie also
claims to be the discovercr of IA new force
which he calls anthesis and
which, he declares, assures the success
OF his ship. The ship as planned resem-
bles more than anything else a monster
barrel, laid oil its side, with all its slaves
running to u point at one end, and with
i'm mense rounded spread or wings on ths
sides. 1t Is designed TO be constructed
solely of steel, with length of l47 feet
and breadth of beam of twenty-seven
feet The wings, each Of which is to be
seventy five feet long and twenty seven
broad are novably attached 10 the sides
Of the vessel and extend inward, where
they are adjusted to a steam driven en-
gine OF peculiar pattern iii such u way
as to control sustentation, ascent, and
descent. At the stern are the rudder
anu the improved propeller, which is
revolved by steam. There are three
in with large windows. The lower one
contains apartment for the ma
chinery, engines, boil RS, fuel, water,
provisions, Kitchens, feight and quar-.
iers for the crew. The middle one is
fitted with saloons and staterooms
for the passengers, and also has
an outside promenade extending
around the ship except forward, where
protuberahces would oiier great resist
ance to the air pressure due TO the speed
Of the flight. Tho upper deck contains
the steering machinery, chartroom and
officers staterooms. Tho longitudinal
sides of the bottom of the ship are
rounded, so as to insure u most easy po-
sition and support for it ON land. The
weight of the ship, machinery and
equipments is estimated at 500 tons, and
her net tonnage ut ZOO tons. With her
full complement of 800 passengers, mail
and freight she would represent a dead
weight OF / 800 tons. This great load
3,6O0, 900 pounds, Mr.. Loeber has the
hardihood to say can be fioated upon
the air more easily than a like weight
is carried upon the water. Anthesis, the
new force, will enable him to do this
He declined to make known the nature
of this force, like Keely, oil motor fame,
but says it IS dependent upon atmos-
pheric resistance.
