visor has charge of each district. he
appoints the enumerators, subdivides the

and accuracy. No enumerator is to look
after subdivision of more than 1000,
and he must be resident of the subdi.
vision and personally familiar with q
great number of the people.
The enumerators are to start out on
Monday, June 2. Those in cities of
more than 10000 Inhabitants must finish
in two weeks, while those in the country
are given month. These men will
make from $50 to $l00 each.

of 500.
Superintendent Porter expects to have
fairly correct estimate of the popula.
tion of the States and Territories ready
in August. he will complete the tables
necessary for the reapportionment of
Representatives in Congress in time for
use in the short session.

Among the encouraging facts which
arise to shut the mouth of the croaker,
and make still brighter the future of ag.
riculture, is the remarkable amount of
business ability and push shown by wo-
men when they take hold of farming.
Women are Distinguishing themselves in
this line more every year. To every man
who whines about the difficulty of max
ing the business pay, there is thrifty,
brave woman who does or can take mat
ters into her hands and make the work
go successfully. Women are far more
economical and pains taking, traits which
make mercantile men prosperous, and We
may look tosee many a run down farm

as the New York Sun remarks' the
man who pays that $1,000 expects to
nut money into his purse"
This case illustrates what to careful
students of tie temperance question
has been apparent for years: That a
reduction in the number of saloons
does not necessarily imply reduction
of the saloon traffic. while high license
gives the saloon power the advantage
of consolidation and monopoly, with
nm increase in most cases instead of IA
decrease of its evil fruit. If sixteen
saloon-keepers could afford TO pay $500
each in Dracut, eight could afford to
pay 81 900 each; four, s. 900 each; two,
81 900 each, and one IS 900. The one
may not get quite all the patronage
hitherto divided among the many, but
he will be able to offer the strongest
kind of inducements to tempt young
men into his den; for his profits are
likely to be greater than the aggregate
profits of his predecessors, because he
can carry on nearly as great traffic
as they did with saving of much ct
the expense incurred in the conducting
of sixteen separate establishments.

"a mysterious parsonage who has been
known for years under the name of
Louis Craven, died few days ago at
Deregnyo, in Hungary. He is known
TO have taken u leading part in the
Polish war of independence in 1880,
and afterward to have come as refu-
gee to Hungary, where the late NJ.
Gabrielle Lonyay employed him as
librarian. From this post he quickly
rose to that of steward of the Lonyay
estates, which are very large, and he
became the intimate friend of his en-
ployers; but although he lived for half
a century at Deregnyo he never re-
vealed his true name nor stated what.
his former position had been. He was
a great bibliophile, and devoted almost
the whole of the fortune he had
amassed to forming library which is
said to be OF great value. london

J. Sweetland tells us funny story
of how five Siwashes got away with
bear at his camp just across the bay
from here. Mr.. Bruin intruded him
self in among the pots and kettles;
picking out dainty meal. While SO
engaged he attracted the attention of
Siwash, who at once called his mates
to his help. The ground is pretty
rocky around the camp. and there are.
plenty of loose stones ready to hand.
They at once fell on the bear, like the
Jews of old did on Stephen, and stoned
him. He would at first endeavor to
follow his assailant, but being sur

Give Water to Infants.

believes, from his practice, that in
fants generally. whether brought up,
at the breast, or artiicially. are not.
supplied with sufficient water, the flu
id portion of their food being quickly
taken up and leaving the solid too
thick to be digested easily. In warm,
dry weather, healthy babies will take
water every hour with advantage, and
their frequent fretfulness and rise in
temperature are often directly due to-
their not having it. A free supply
of water and restricting the frequency
OF nursing have been found at the
nursery to be most effectual check
in cases of incipient fever dimin-'

reduction in the number OF gastric

In very elegant palace car entered
a weary faced, poorly dressed woman,
with three children. one baby in her
arms. A look of JOY crept into her
face as she sat down into one of the
luxurious chairs. but it was quickly
dispelled as she was asked rudely to
..start her boots" A smile OF amuse-
ment was seen on several faces as
the frightened group hurried out to
one OF the common cars. Upon one
young face. however, there was a
look which shamed the countenance
o. the others.
'Auntie," said the boy to the lady
beside him. Il am going to carry my
basket of fruit and this box of sand
wiches to the poor woman IN the next
car. You are willing, of course?"

woman is an impostor."

About five minutes later, as the
lady passed the mother and three
children. she saw a pretty sight, the
family feasting as perhaps they new
err had done before. The dainty
sandwiches were eagerly eaten. the
fruit basket stood open. The eldest
child. with her mouth filed with
bread and butter, said:
