So pure amid the worlds base strife;

Though strong to make a helpful wife

CENSUS TAKING ABROAD.

The numbering of the people is an
ancient custom. Moses numbered the
Israelites in the wilderness, and, in
later times, Joshua and David followed
his example. China had a ensus enum-
Grafton 2,042 years before the Christian
era, and In Japan an enumeration
was made more than 1900 years ago. A
census of Athens was taken in Solon's
time, and the sixth king OF Rome, Ser
yius Tillius, ordered q census and re-
quired every citizen to appear on the
field of Mars and declare under oath his
name, residence, names Of children and
the value of his property. In the six
teenth century the church began to re-
cord births, marriages and deaths,
and from this practice grad
ually grew up the modern census
census taking on the modern plan in
1900 and now has a system similar 10
that in vogue in this country. Prus-
sian enumerations were begun under
Frederick William l. Austria first took
a census in 1854 and row has one taken
each sixth year. From 1886 to 1857 the
clergy of Sweden we're required to keep
a record Of births, deaths and marriages.
Then q statistical bureau was formed.
Norway has q decennial census; Spain
an irregular enumeration system. Den
mark, Switzerland, Belgium, the Meth
erlands, Italy, have adopted q decen-
NAL plan. In France a census is taken
every ffth year. Portugal has never
had but one census and that extended
only to the population. Turkey takes
an occasional census for conscript or
taxation purposes. Greece counts up
irregularly, a census being taken some
times yearly and then biennially. Bra
xil adopted q census system in 1874, the
Argentine Republic in 1869, Columbia in
1870 and Egypt in 1762.

officer, gazing at his dinSy uniform.

night in the wake of the ROBBERY of the night
previous The victim of the shooting is a
saloonkeeper known as "Boiler' Walsh,
who was shot III the neck by his brother
in-law Edwin Daily. Walsh will recover.
The shooting was the result of a family
fend.
About o'clock Daily says, Walsh en-
tered his saloon, at 1872 Detroit street,
where, Daily claims, the intruder got into
a quarrel with Mrs. Daily. Some time
latter Mrs. Walsh went to Daily's on an
errand and Walsh returned and attempted
to carry away some articles he claimed
were his. Daily ordered him to dcs;s,
but Walsh paid no attention to the request
when Daily got his revolver and fired at
his brother-in.law, the ball of a 22-callbre,
lodging in the back of his head After
being shot Walsh rushed to the police
station and reported the shooting Daily
claimes Walsh drew knife on him before
he fired Mrs. Daily had given birth to a
child an hour or two before the affair, aud
the shock to her by the row may prove
serious.
Both participants were arrested.
