THE CENSUS IN GERMANY.
One Day sufices TO Get the Population of
the Whole Empire.

the Whole Empire.
In Germany they have a different way Of
taking the census than the one in vogue in
the United States. There they take the
census every five years, and cover the whole
empire in one day; but only questions in
reference to domicile, name, sex, age and
social position are asked.
Several days before December 1 the enum-
orator goes around in his district and finds
out how many persons live in each house.
For each person he leaves card containing
the questions, and on each card is written
the number of the house and district. A
duplicate of each card so filled out is kept in
the central station. On December 1 the
enumerator goes around and collects the
cards, the heads of the families, agents or
owners being under penalty to fill out the
cards, or have them filled out, and to return
them. By the duplicate a check is kept. so
that the enumerators cannot skip a house.
In that way the exact number of persons
living in the German Empire is secured on
the first day OF December.

PHOTOGRAPHS IN MID AIR.

Small Camera Sent Up by a Rocket and
Then Made to Tuke Pictures.
Philadelphia Press?
A curious form of Photographic apparatus
is being developed by French inventor,
NJ. Deuesse. 1t consists of a Photographic
camera attached to rocket. An umbrella
like parachute is also fixed to the rocket
stick. When fred into the air this is closed,
but as soon as the rocket begins to descend
it opens out and the whole returns grace
fully to the earth. In this the camera is
cylindrical in form, and has round its cir
cumterence IL lenses-a sensitive plate in
the center. The lenses are provided with a
shutter which opens and closes instantly on
the camera commencing to descend. 1t is
then drawn back to the operator by cord
attached be ore the firing of the rocket.

ROYALTY NEVER CHANGES.

The Queens Organ Blowers Report for Duty
Regularly. but Water Does the Work.
Pail Mall Budget -
Royalty seems to be the same in its funda-
mental characteristics all the world. over.
Every one has heard the story of the Russian
sentinel Who was placed TO keep watch and
guard over some wet paint in a palace at st.
Petersburg, and remained in station at fixed
hours for 80 years after the paint had dried.
Similarly, at Windsor Castle, there was a
time lew years ago when the Queen s
private organ required two men to blow it.
The organ is now inspired by hydraulic
pressure, which can be put on or shut off by
the simple manipulation of a tap-iu short
by push of the organist's fingers. Yet
these two men still continue to honor MIR:
Parratt with their daily presence at the old
hour. They are like the black buttons on
gentleman dress coat-survivals OF a former
stage of evolution.

The daintiest covers for the toilet table

Indian peasant women do some Verv pretty
needlework of this kind. They generally
finish it with long netted fringes tied in
myriad fancy styles, work in which they

The "spachtel' work of the Germans is
simple cutwork, the patterns being cut out
and buttonholed around with the needle.

THE G0LDENROD BEATEN.

Country Maidens Prefer the Rose for Amer
ica's National Flower.
New York Sun.l
School children in this city who recently
voted with such unanimity for the golden
rod for Americas national flower are very
much chagrined to find that they are likely
to be outvoted in the rural districts. So far
as the returns from the interior of this State
have been heard from, the vote is almost
entirely in favor of the rose. The goldenrod
is nowhere. City schildren who admire
goldenrod so much will, no doubt, be
panied to learn that their country cousins
regard it as commonplace weed, the growth
of which in some instances is destructive to
crops. The rose is the country maiden's
favorite flower.

three years ago, his only son seems TO
have managed the great works ut Essen
with an energy and success fully equal
TO his own. The total number OF men
employed in 1887 was 10000; at present
it is about twenty-five thousand. The
works now cover about one thousand
acres. Included in the plant are cast
steel works at Essen, three coal mines
near Essen and Bochum, SAT iron ore
mines in Germany, several iron ore mines
in Spain, four FORCES in other parts Of
Europe, a trial shooting ground about
ten miles long and another about five

Supremacy DELIGHTFUL

To the emaciated and debiliated invalid is the
sense OF returning health and strength produced
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. When that pro-
moter OF vigor is tested by persons in feeble
health its restorative and vitaizing potency soon
evinces itself In improved appetite, digestion and
nightly repose the sole conditions under which
strength and nerve quietude is vouchsafed to the
human system. A gain in flesh OF course ensues
upon the restoration OF digestion and assimilation
As surely as winter follows the fall OF the leaf
does disease shadow the footsteps OF declining
strength, when the premature decadence of vital
ity Is not arrested. Marasmus. consumption and
other wasting maladics are prompt to fasten upon
this grand enabling tonic, which not only renews
failing strength, but mitigates and counteracts
