Washington Star.) HOW WE ARE COUNTED.

The third floor of the census building on Ninth street has the appearance of factory or machine shop. It IS very tidy and airy machine shop, however, where nice looking girls in cool white dresses are at work at the long row of counting machines. At the first glance the machines remind one of upright pi- amos. They have handsome oak cases, and each one occupies the same splce piano does. They are, however, eminent ly practical machines, and with their aid some 15 young ladies can count accurately a half million of names in day. It is expected that when the work of counting the census returns really begins that there will be 70 or 80 of these machines at work. The returns from the census distric throughout the country are coming in slowly. There are more than 50, 900 of these districts, and so far only about {, 800 districts have sent in their returns. As ed, although not as rapidly as they will be, in the use of the machines. In making this count, which is known as the trough count, :" tue returns for each district are counted twice. After being counted on one machine they are passed over to an- other, and when the latter count is com pleted the two are compared, and if there are discrepancies, necessary corrections are made. Following this method, if the total population of the country is 60, GOO, : GOO, there will be counted in the census office an equivalent to 120, ,O00, 900 names. The machines, which are the invention of Mir. Hallerith, and supplement his tabu- lating machine, are very simple. A key board, resembling that of typewriter, Is at the right of the operator. Each key has number, from to 20 The operator has pile of census schedules at her left side, and as she turns the schedules over she notes the figures which indicate the number of members in each family enum. erated in that schedule. If there are five members in family she strikes the key marked No. 5. When key is struck an electrical connection is established with the hands on dial in the framework ir front of the operator. That dial is mark ed No. 5, which means it records the mum Der of families consisting of five persons Each time the No. key is struck the No 5 dial records one. When the count ii completed the recorded number on eacf dial is multiplied by the number of thu dial, the results added up and the tota number of individuals in that district i ascertained. If the same result is obtain ed by a different operator then it is con cluded that the count is correct. It is ex pected that by the use of these machine the results of the census will be knowl much sooner than by any other knowl method.

LONELINESS.

Mid din of tinkling cymbals, sounding brass, Man walks alone-whose days are as the grass Unknown, alike through joy, woe of life. Not even thou, the dearest, sweetheart, wife, Canst hope to penetrate one little space, Not even thoui-though sorrow, like knife, Doth mark the failure of thy womans grace. O Christ, thou knowest what the soul hides deep, Thou who didst tread the wine press and alone, Thou knowest-when the chilling shadows creep And lie upon the heart like weight of stone What brings the weariness that doth oppress, Whence comes, alas! that awful loneliness

An Odious Smell.

The smell of burning paper inseparable from cigarette is so odious to many people, that have deemed it necessary to hang up signs in the cabin and the dining hall up stairs, requesting gentlemen not to smoke cigarettes. There is no objection to the fumes of good cigar in any dining hall Very few people would object to it, while very few can tolerate the odor of g cigarette. have mo- ticed in quite number of offices and busi- ness houses about the city a printed prohibit tion of cigarette smoking hanging on the wall.

Springfield, July, 1890.
 The ./wly RedMction Sale started last week as announced.
 The start was great success.
 It was indeed satisfaction to note how our statements about goods and prices were received. The remarkable point was that crowds ofready buyers came to carry off not only the announced bargains but the others that were waiting a chance to be talked about. To continue the outflow of goods, Bargains have been sought and brought, sometimes from our own stocks, sometimes from others, but brought they have been, and trade has kept its course with a rush and stocks have-heen cleared out thoroughly. For those who may be strange to what we are doing we print the list of principal Bargains in the fewest words possible. No samples can be given of the following lots.
 All our High Glass Novelty Dress Goods
 under $l.50 go down to 50 cents yard. All our High Glass Scotch Novelty Cling hams under 6Oc go down to 25 and 373 cents yard.
 All our High Glass 45.inch Hamburg Flouncings under 8 go down to $1 a
 yard.
 All our odd lots of Muslin Underwear go
 down to less than the bare cost of the
 stuff.
 All our Millinery things behind the regu-
 lar procession go down to walk out fast
 prices.
 All the Manhattan and Appleton 25c Series | of Novels go down to 10 cents volume. All our Hot Weather Hosiery goes down
 to prices that set you thinking-and buying.
 All our odd lots of Lace Curtains go down to prices that will clear them quickly.

It is foolish to send for the doctor every time you don't feel just right. My doctors bill for years was over hundred dollars a year, which made pretty hole in my wages. For the past two years, I only spent ten dol lars, with which bought dozen bottles of Sulphur Bitters, and health has been in my family since using them.-Robert Johnson, machiniat.

The best medical writers claim that the successful remedy for nasal catarrh must be non-irritating, easy of application, and one that will reach all the remote sores and ulcer ated surfaces. The history of the efforts to treat catarrh during the past obliges us to ad- init that only one remedy has met these con- ditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and both physi- clans and patients freely concede this fact. The more distressing symptoms yield to it.

Ayers ! Hair Vigor

not only prevented my wife from becoming bald, but it also caused an entirely new growth of hair. I am ready to certify to this statement before 8 justice ef the peace."- H. Hulsebus, Lewisburgh, Iowa.
 "Some years ago, after severe attack of brain fever, my hair all came out. used such preparations for restoring it as my phy- sicians ordered, but failed to produce a growth of hair. then tried, successively, several articles recommended by druggists, and all alike fell short of accomplishing tho desired result. The last remedy applied was Ayers Hair Vigor. which brought growth of hair in few weeks. think used eight bottles in two years; moro than was necessary as restorative, hut liked it for that purpose. believe Ayers Hair vigor possesses virtues far above those of any similar preparation now on the market" Vincent Jones, Richmond, Ind.

HE ENGLISH LIBERAL S.

LONDON, Dec. 2.-Sir William Vernon
Harcourt has written letter, in which he
confirms Mr.. McCarthy's statement made
at the Parnellite meeting last night, rela-
tive TO what took place between them at
the time of Mr.. McCarthy's recent visit TO
him. Sir William further says that he did
not regard Mr.. Parnell's proposals as prac-
tIcaL He told Mr.. Mccarthy that the con-
dition of secrecy was inadmissible. The
document accepting the proposals could be
OF no value TO Mr.. Parnell, or to any
one else, unless its contents were
made known. Besides, Sir William says,
he did not attach any Importance to Mr.
ParnelPs pledge of invioable secrecy. In
Conclusion, Sir William says that the
statements of Mr.. Parnell relating to his
(Sir William's) views and conduct, are un-
worthy OF notice and opposite TO the truth.
At a conference at Mr. Gladstone's
house, of the Liberal leaders, the subject
under discussion was the retirement of Mr..
Gladstone. 1t was decided to convoke
meeting of the Liberal peers and members
of the house of commons TO hear the state
ment of Mr Gladstone.

10 O'Clock this morning. His supporters
among the Irish members of the house of
commons were also present, and a confer

tirement.
All hopes of the Nationalist meeting
reaching decision on the main issue to-
day have been abandoned.

EngIand's Prime Minister in n Fix.

Eugene Field is responsible for the state
ment that there has been lots Of sport re-
Gently at the expense of the Marquis OF
Salisbury. Ii seems that when the prime
minister and his wife returned from their
summer trip TO the continent they brought
back with them two and half gallons OF
fine brandy and large stock of choice
cigars. IL would perhaps be unfair to say
that his lordship sought or hoped TO evade
the vigilance of the customs officers. What
did happen, however, was that upon arriv-
ing at Newhaven Lord Salisbury contrived
to get his precious liquor and tobacco as
far as the private coach that was in wait
ing for him What betrayed him will per-
haps never be known. All at once two
argus eyed and Briarean handed officers
swooped down upon that vehicle and res
urrected the brandy and cigars from the
wealth of lap robes and rugs which envel-
oped them. Lord Salisbury did not at
tempt 10 protest; he cheerfully paid the
so required for the passage OF the goods
But this was not sufficient; the coachman
was taken into custody and detained sew
eral hours for having been a partner to
what upon its face looked like clear at
tempt at smuggling OF course the prime
minister had no difficulty IN proving up
the honesty of his coachman and securing
his release, but as there Is a superabund-
ance Of red tape in Europe even the prime
minister found the process Of exculpation
exceedingly tedious.
