To Census Enumerators,

For the information of enumerators who have written to me, expressing doubt as to their ability to canvass the entire county in which they were resi- dents, in the allotted time, will state that such solicitude is unnecessary. In no instance has an entire county been assigned to any one enumerator.
 That enumerators may understand about how much territory has been as- signed for each one, I submit herewith the number of enumeration districts as signed to the several counties:

Ornamental Tiles.

The art of making the ornamental
tiles which are so often laid in floors
and used for various decorative pur-
poses seems to have taken its rise during
the latter half of the Twelfth century,
but tile work has not generally used be-
fore the middle of the Thirteenth.
Mosaic work, which is much older, was
done BY an entirely different process.

A Joke Via London.

In London there is joke going the
rounds of the clubs under the libelous
guise of an American joke. They tell
of the cremation Of a certain Yankee,
who, just before yielding up the ghost,
expressed the wish that his dead body
should be committed to the flames. Ac-
cordingly therefore the corpse was duly
conveyed to the crematory and, in the
presence Of large concOurse of be-
reaved friends, consigned to the glowing
chamber in the midst of the roaring fur
mace. The corpse had been in the fur
mace half an hour, when the s0rrowing

slyly opened the door and peered in to
see how the melancholy work Of crema-

How to Handle Dogs.

A gentleman who has had good dea
of experience in the management of
dogs says that the most vicious brute
can be speedily conquered by any power
full Odor, especially pungent odor like
ammonia. He tells how he once won a
wager ON handling a dog that few per.
sons could approach. 1t was in little
town in Canada. The conversation be-
ing on the subject Of dogs, the proprie-
tor OF the Inn where he was stopping
laid wager that his visitor could not
put his hands upon, dog chained up
in the back yard
"Al right" said the visitor, "but as a
matter of precaution for the protection
of my hands will go upstairs and put
on pair of gloves"
"Iput on a pair of old buckskin gloves,
says the gentleman, in telling the story,
land saturated the right hand with am.
monia. We then went out to the dog,
and at my approach he rushed from his
kennel with open mouth. As soon as he
got within reach thrust out my right
hand. Instead Of biting it he turned
tail and ran back into his kennel Then
/ went to the kennel, and putting my
hand inside made him come out again.
The secret of the matter is that a dog
can't bite without drawing in his breath,
and as he does so he inhales the ammo
MIA, which partially suffocates him and
subdues for the time being his biting
propensity. Some dogs may be subdued

Power Of Memory.

The point to which reliancs on the
memory may be carried safely by proper
training is thus illustrated by Mr..
Frederic Pincott: "Ranjit Singh could
neither read nor write, but he knew all
that was going on in every part of
kingdom as large as France. He was
an able financier, and knew at all times
accurately the contents of all his
treasures, the capacities of his large
and varied provinces, the relative power
of his neighbOrs, the strength and
weakness of the English. The architec-
tural triumps of India were nearly all
built by men who could neither read nor
write.

Blue Grass Region.

An the way from Washington till 1
struck the heart of Kentucky The farmer
in mo was unhappy; he saw hardly a
rood Of Land that he would like to call
his own. But that remnant Of tie wild
man Of the woods, which most of US stu
carry, saw much that delighted him,
especially down the New River, where
the rocks and the water and the steep
forest clad mountains were as wild and
rs savage a. anything he had known
in his early Darwinian ages. But when
we emerged upon the banks of the great
Kanawha the man Of the woods lost his
interest and the man of the fields saw
little that was comforting.
When we cross the line into kentucky,
/ said, We shall see change. But no,
we did not The farmer still groaned in
spirit; no thrifty farms, no substantial
homes, no neat villages, no good roads
anywhere, but squalOr and steriity on
every hand. Nearly all the afternoon
we rode through a country like the
poorer parts of New England, unre-
deemed by anything like New England
thrift. Itwas country of coal, and q
very new country geologically speaking,
and the top soil did not seem to have
had time to become deepened and
enriched by vegetable mold.
Near sundown, as glanced out of the
window, thought l began to see a
change. Presently l was very sure
did. 1t began to appear in the more
grassy character of the woods. Then /
caught sight of peculiarly soft and uni
form grassy patches here and there in
the open. Then in a few moments
more the train had fairly shot into the
blue grass region, and the farmer in me
began to be on the alert. We had
passed in atwinkling from a portion of
the earth's surface which is new, which
is of yesterday, to portion which is Of
the oldest, from the carboniferous to
the lower silurian. Here upon this
lower silurian the earth that saw and
nourished the great monsters and drag
ons was growing the delicate blue grass
1t had taken all these millions upon
millions of years to prepare the way
for this little plant to grow to perfec-
tiOn.
I thought I had never seen fields and
low hills look so soft in the twilight;
they seemed clad in greenish gray fur.
As we neared Mount Stearling how fat
and smooth the land looked; what long,
even, gently flowing lines against the
fading western SKY, broken here and
there by herds Of slowly grazing or else
reposing and ruminating cattle! What
peace and plenty it suggested! From
land raw and crude and bitter like uu-
ripe fruit we had suddenly been trans
ported into the midts of one ripe and
mellow with the fullness of time. 1t
was sweet to look upon. I was seized
with strong desire to 60 forth and taste

Conscience and Success.
The following closes IN editorial N
the July Century: The fact u thai
there Is altogether too much reverence
for rascals and for rascally methods, ON
the part Of tolerably decent people.
Rascality is picturesque, doubtless, and
in fiction it has even its moral uses; but
in real life it should have no toleration;
and it's, as matter Of fact seldom &C
companied by the ability that it brags.
One proof that the smart rogue is not
80 smart as he thinks and as others
think, is that he so often comes to grief.
He arrives at his success through his
knowledge of the evil in men; he comes
to grief through his ignorance Of the
good in men. He thinks he knows
'.human nature" but he only half knows
it. Therefore he is constantly in
danger of making a fatal mistake
For instance, his excuse to himself for
lying and trickery is that lying and
trickery are indulged in by others
even by some men who make q loud
boast of virtue before the world. A
little more or less of lying and trickery
seems to make no difference he assumes
especially so long as there is no public
display of lies and tricks-for he un-
derstands that there must always be q
certain outward propriety in order to
insure even the inferior kind of success
Re is aiming at. But, having no usable
conscience to guide him, he undertakes
the sensitiveness Of other consciences-
and especially the sensitiveness of that
vague sentiment called public opinion"
and he makes miscalculation, which,
if it does not land him in the peniten-
tiary at least makes him of no use to
his respectable allies; therefore. of no
use to his semi-criminal associates;
therefore, surprised, miserable and
indicative failure.
