The Enumerators and Their Pay

The Enumerators and Their Pay.
From Globe Democrat.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 21.-The
Census office is now figuring out of
the accounts of the 81 5000 enumerators
who have just finished their work,
The name and address Of each one of
these temporary employees of the Gov
eminent are in possession of j. G..
Stoddard, the disburslng clerk of
the census office. AS soon as he re-
ceives the necessary voucher and it is
approved by superintendent Porter
he makes out q check directing the
United states treasurer or the assist
ant treasurer in New York to pay the
person named the sum due him. 1t
will be some time before any large
proportion of the entire number of
enumerators receive their pay for
their part of the work Of taking the
census. The work of determining how
much is due to each nan is one of
some magnitude. In the popula-
ton division of the census office
there is b force of clerks who do moth
ing else but determine how much is
due the enumerators. The compen-
sation is fixed by law-2c for each
name enumerated, sc for each soldier
but the clerks are obliged to exam
inc each schedule and make O compu-
tation as to the number of persons
enumerated and the different classes, |
and in this way the amount due to
each enumerator is determined. AS
the schedules are in the hands of
clerks who are making the count
of the population, and as this work
takes precedence w everything
else, the enumerators' accounts have
to wait. However, more rapid pro-
gress will now be made with these
accounts, and when the work is fairly
begun it is expected that the accounts
of 500 enumerators will be settled
each day. Mr.. Stoddard has made
arrangements to pay that number, |
and at this rate it will take between
three and four months to reach the
last account.
AS the rough count of the popula.
ton of the district was the first COM
pleted by the ems Office. the ac-
counts of the district enumerators
were the first settled. So far of the |
1876 enumerarors employed In the
work in this district ninety have been
paid. The average pay received by
enumerator for his two weeks
work was about $40. The biggest
pay will be paid to a Chicago enum-
orator. He returned as the result of
his two weeks work, 6,933. His dis
trict contained a number of hotels
and boarding houses, and did
not necessitate much travel
ing about. Several other Chicago
enumerators returned about 5000
names each. The suspicious of Supt.
were aroused by these large
returns made by individual enumera-
tors, and he sent an inspector to
investigate. The inspector
that the showing made by
these enumerators was legitimate,
and the conclusion is drawn that they
simply "hustlers," with easy
territory to work. Those enumera-
tors of Chicago who had districts out
the city limits do not show so
lists. They will get about the
same pay as enumerators in other
regions-about S4 a day.

The order of Freemasonry is said to

order has been derived from many
sources, but not till about hit did the

most common use is the square and the

Lodge Besides this there are several
designs worn by more advanced mem.

An Amusing Goose Story.

"When I was in Alabama, between
Porter's Gap and Millerville, said
gentleman living in Atlanta, II came to
a country place where man was driving
ten or twelve geese from a branch toward
cotton patch. For heavens sake,
said /, what is it you have on the necks
of those geeses Those are gourds. full
Of water. ! drive these geese into that
cotton patch and keep them there all day
wedding out the cotton. There is no
water in the cotton patch, and I have to
give them water in this way to keep
them there. But how do they get the
water out of those gourds under their
necks?' They drink out of each others
gourds. Each gonrd has an opening in
the side so that another goose can put his
bill into the gourd and drink. If you
will stay here long enough you will see
it yourself waited there half a day
to see that performance, and finally /
saw it. The geese did just as the man
said they would. When a goose got
thirsty he walked up to his neighbor and
coolIy drank out of the gourd ON his
neck. Atlanta journal.

rorwax.s Land and People.

The forest land in Norway is in extent
as compared with the arabic land as
thirty to one. OF course the expectation
of timber is one of the chief resources of
the country, but the woods are well pre-
served, forester resides in every district,
and no waste or destruction'of such valu-
able possessions is allowed, as has I'M
fortunately taken place in America. The
land that is cultivated, except in few
favored spots, seems poor, and the people
themselves have, evidently, few of the
luxuries of life. There are not many
villages. Norway differing from Sweden
in that respect; the farmhouses are scat
tered, and the dwellings of the peasants
are usually small wooden huts, and often
are ruinous.
But, though poverty is great. there is
no beggary. We have never been ina
portuned for aims, nor have fees been ex-
pected for trifling services, as in Italy or
the rural districts of England. The peo-
pie have somewhat sad, or rather q
subdued look, such as solitude often gives.
The women, with handkerchiefs pinned

heath and Burial in China.

When the Chinese wish to declare the
extreme vexatiousness of any piece OF
work they say; at is more trouble than
a funeral" the obsequies of a parent
being reckoned the most maddening
affair in human experience.
Infants are buried summarily, without
coffins, and the young are inferred with
few rites; but the funeral of the aged, OF
both sexes, are elaborate in proportion to
the number of the descendants and to
their wealth. When childless married
man dies, his widow may perform all
the duties of a son toward him, may re-
main in his house and may adopt children
to rear as his heirs and worshipers OF the
family names. If his widow proposes
marrying again, young male relative
NAV, with the consent of senior members
of the clan, undertake the services ex-
pected from son and inherit the estate
of the deceased.
When one is about to die he is re-
moved from his couch. to bench or &c
a mat on the floor because OF a belief
that he who dies in bed will carry tht
bedstead as a burden into the next world.
He is washed in a new pot In warn
water in which bundle of incense stick
is merged. After the washing the Po

A Popular summer Fashion.

That suitable garment for a tropical
climate-the light wooden shirts fast
making itself popular in our tropical
summer weather. But the mandate of
foshion still is that the wooden shirt is
'snot gentlemanly" in town or on the
cars-the two places where it is most
needed. A gentlemanly dress will never
offend the sensibihties of others A neat
flannel shirt is certainly less offensive
than the sweat soaked handkerchiefs
with which the wearers of Numbered
linen try to hide the wilted rag that was
once glossy and heat inclosing collar.

handkerchiefs used as bibs is ridiculous

The Petroleum Producing Strata.

Oil producing strata do not always be-
long to the same geological period. In
Kentucky and Tennessee the petroleum
is furnished by the lower siiuIian; that
is, by the most ancient stratiied rocks
In Upper Canada it is found in the lower
Devonian, and in Pennsylvania in the
upper Devonian. The springs of western
Virginia flow from the upper carbonifer-
GUS strata In Connecticut and North
Carolina coal oil is found in the trias, in
Colorado and Utah in the lignites of the
cretaceous formation, while the oil pro-
ducing regions of California belong to
the tertiary period. 1t is remarkable
fact that most of the deposits of the
ancient world exist in comparatively re-
cent tertiary formations, as for instance
those of the oil impregnated sands OF
Alsace, of the south of France, and of
Abruzzia and Emilia in Italy. There
are numerous deposits in Galicia and the
Danubian provinces similarly placed.
while the strata that contain those of
the Crimea, the Caucasus and the island
of Taman are of nearly the same geolog-
ical epoch. 1t is fact to be noted that
the oils coming from the greatest depth
are of the best quality, those produced
from nearer the surface of the earth
seeming to have lost some of their vola'
tile elements.-San Francisco Chronicle.
