Brunswick shows the largest gain, having
nearly trebled its population since the last
census. Waycross hasmore than doubled
its population, and Naldostas gain is little
more than so per cent. Darlen shows
small increase.
Supervisor Beckett says the people of
Valdosta are satisfied. The count is little
under their expectations, but no dissatisfac-
ton or doubt has been expressed, as the
enumerator is a gentleman thoroughly
identified with the the interests OF the town,
and is one of its most prominent citizens.
No complaints have been received from
Waycross Brunswick people think the emu
merators skipped about one-third OF their
population. The supervisor is waiting Tor
the names Of some of those who were missed,
so that he may investigate the matter, but
so far only one formal complaint has been
sent in, and the supervisor found that the
family which was said not to have been
enumerated was enrolled.
The Savannah people, at home and
abroad. the supervisor says, take a deep
interest in the enumeration of the city. 81
received a letter to-day from Maj.
Basinger," Mr. Beckett said last night" in
curing whether certain of his relatives,
who are in the mountains of Upper Georgia
for the summer, had been missed by the
enumerators. 1t gave me pleasure TO be
able to assure him that they had been
properly enrolled, the information having
been given by friends Of the family"
These inquiries, said the supervisor, serve
a good pupose, even where the fears of the
parties are groundless. They give an OPP
portunity TO verify the work, and strengthen
the supervisors confidence in its reliability.
In a very few instances he may be enabled
to add little TO the population.
"Mr. Sholes' estimate of per cent.
hav fn klo
said Mr.. Beckett, ''is SIMPLY absurd, but as
he was required TO explain away in some
manner his former figures, he does 1t very
neatly. l maintain that less than per
cent. will cover the missing names. | ad-
here TO my former figure-300-as the
limit, but that will be reduced at least one
third before give up the fight"
Supervisor Beckett says that in some
quarters the idea prevails that the census
CT Georgia has been taken in
a partisan manner. In the Fifth district,
Mr.. Beckett says, nine-tenths of the
enumerators were democrats, men trusted
in their communities, and incapable of falsi-
flying the count in the interest of any party
The Appointment of enumerators, Mr. Beck
EFT says, was made without regard to poll
tics. Two colored men were appointed in
his district, one in Savannah and one in
Mcintosh county. The latter was appointed
at the request of the sheriff of the county
and both did their work we'll. No fault
whatever, the supervisor says, can be found
with il.

The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1890-12-04

The modern Tartar is not so well off as
were the chief subjects of Kublai Khan,
but he has fiocks and herds in abundance,
and manages to get along without treas
ury surplus, or even a moderate stock of
spending money. When some young gall
liant woos his daughter he shows the extent
of his affection by the size of the ''bunch
of cattle" which he drives to the tent door
of his prospective father-in-law.
If the girl does not object to the sutton
the gift of cattle is accepted. Then the
maiden mounts a feet horse bearing in
front of her the carcass of lamb. At a
signal she bounds over the steppes pursued
by her would be husband. If he overtakes
her-he generally does-she accompanies
him to his tent and prepares the lamb for
dinner. And thus the rover of the eastern
plains catches his Tartar.
In Sweden the peasantry have several
harmless superstltions which initiate
against lavishness in gift making. A
youth must not present his intended with
a knife or scissors, for they will cut love;
nor a handkerchief, for it will wipe away
her inclination; nor shoes, for they will lead
her to walk off with another"
On his wedding day the groom wears
shirt made by the bride. When he takes
it off he never dons it again in life. 1t is
laid aside for use as his shroud. If a man
should marry and lose several wives in sue
cession the idea suggests itself that he
might, in course of time, become rather
overstocked with funeral robes.
That scandalous graybeard, Mr.. Punch,
of London, declares that
Marriege so old mon note hath Ekened been
Unto public feast or common rout-
Where those who are without would fain get in,
And those that are within would fain get out.
1t has been the general understanding in
civilized communities that a bride and
groom who receive presents shall recipro-
cate when their gift making friends essay

drain on slender purses.
But if wedding gifts are not to be dis

from contributing to the household store

Advice to Girls.

Girls, if you work for your living, do
lay up some money. You don't know
whether you will ever be married or
not, and if you should be you don't know
whether you VIII get a man who will
support you. We have the word of nu-
merous old people that ''men amt what
they used 70 be-" So lay up some money,
go into business for yourselves, and
achieve success. Don't work for other
people all your lives. but begin now as
though you expected nothing else than
to be at the head Of some fourishing
business Of your own. If you stick to
this hope and ambition you will achieve
it. Then, if you have to live in this
wicked world TIL you are so or 90 years
old, you viii not have TO spend the last
years Of your existence among the tab
bies in an old woman's home, clawing
and miaouling with the rest of them.

great Asian ruler, when ambassadors ar

him the promise that he would take for
his next consort woman Of her own race

1t was to select a partner for their lord
that the messengers had made their toll
some way TO the foot of Kublai's throne.
He was graciously pleased to send his
"brother of the west" the Lady Kukachin,

pointed for her escort band OF 600 men,
who carried with them the fair brides
dowry, valued in modern money at s. ,000,-
900. The three Polos took charge of the
virgin and the treasure. Because of wars
and rumors of wars they chose the sea
rcrte, and occupied two years in reaching
Pl.sia.
On arrival they found that the prospect
i've husband was dead but his successor,
evidently man of taste, accepted the love
" Kukachin for a wife and received her
dowry The Polos reached their home at
Venice months afterward clothed in rags,
but as their tattered garments were quilt
ed with gems of fabulous value it is pre-
sumed that they lost nothing by their tour
through Asia. Indeed, thereafter they
ranked among the richest and most re-
spected citizens of the republic.

Electric Lighting in Spain.

The electric light, a recent writer de-
clares, is asserting itself in even the most
conservative corners of the world. Not
long ago the council of an Anticipated town
in Spain met to consider the question of
changing the method OF Illuminating
the town streets from oil lamps to
electric hghtsl This is one of the many
indications that are daily seen of the mar
velous rapidity with which the fitness
and excellence of the electric light has been
universally recognized. Within the last
few days two new central stations for the
electric light haze ucen started in Madrid,
where there is @lready demand for 5000
lights. The electric light can now be sup
piled there at half the price of gas, which
costs =. 10 per 1000 cubic feet.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.
New FancIss and Designs I'm Embroidery
on Plush and Lace.

on Plush aud Lace.
Among plush embroideries the magno-
liza is one CT the new patterns 1t is very
snowy, but in the best possible taste, sine
soft shades on colors alone are used. ThA
flowers are worked with white arasene, re-
lieved with the palest pink, the green
shades of foliage are subdued. and the
brown stems give just the requisite strength
to the harmony.
Another style of embroidering plush is
to scatter detached flower heads and buds
over the ground; this gives an altogether
unique appearance to cushions, covers,
chair tides, etc. On ruby plush the petals
will be of the palest green, graduated oft
to white at the tips; the centers of the
flowers will be represented in gold silk.
Nothing looks richer than plush for draw
ing room use as a ground for embroideries;
such lovely shadows and reflections are
found in the folds that it will always keep
its place as prime favorite.
There are signs that the embroidered
lace that was so popular a season or two
ago is to return to favor in still more
gorgeous fashion. Tinsel gauze is laid
upon the larger and fatter portions of the
pattern, and is buttonholed down all
round with colored silks, the rough edges
being afterward cut away. Scraps Of satin,
silk, and even velvet are often added in
the same manner with rich effect, though
of course the lace like appearance of the
work Is completely lost.
The squares of guipure dart can be
bought ready made at a small cost, and
they are often worked over with silks and
tinsel for use as covers for handkerchief
sachets and fancy work baskets. This is
an excellent way of using up those odds
and ends of embroidery silks which work
ers find puzzling to turn to good account.
