WHY THE MICE LAUGHED.

A MoNG the sufferers from the prevalent
plague of rats and mice is certain East
End household. The mice especially invaded
the housesin swarms. The feminine portion of
the family were greatly relieved when the
master of the house brought home a lovely as
sortment of mouse traps. The traps were given
to the cook with instructions to set them in
convenient corners.
Everything promised well for a fearful
slaughter of mice. The cook made a special
house was filled later with the fumes of the
same, toasted. Everybody, from the head of
the family down to the cook, felt that his or her
duty had been done. For the rest the mice
must be held responsible. The traps were
there-what more could the mice wantf So
the whole house passed the night in happy
slumbers. .-.'.-.-.
AT breakfast the next morning the lady Of
the house summoned the COOK from the
kitchen, and asked how many mice had been
caught.
mot oner' shortly replied the cook.
mot one Elizaf Why, how many traps did
you set ?" ,...-
'.All of 'em, an the pesky varmints has eat
the cheese and bad luck to 'em."
"Ate the cheese, Eliza ?" and straightway an
investigation took place. BY this it was de-
veloped that the cook, in the sweet innocence
of her heart, had laid the traps on the floor in
kitchen and cellar and then disposed about
them a nice collation. of toasted cheese, thereby
offering the mice extra inducements to keep
away from the engines of destruction.

FACTS ABOUT THE CENSUS.

Robert P. Porter, Superintendent of the
Census, has earned a holiday, and The
DISPATCH trusts that his trip to Europe
will restore him to perfect health. The
taking of the eleventh census Of the United
States has been a gigantic task, and though
there are grounds for dissatisfaction with
some of his methods, there is no
reason to doubt Mr.. Porter's earnest fidelity
in the work. When the next census is taken
it is to be hoped that the mistake of burden
ing the record with immaterial details will
be avoided. That is the chief and most
serious blunder in the eleventh Gen.
sus. Doubtless, as Mr.. Porter says,
there will always be a certain
amount of grumbling at the census
takers, but truly the country has fair
reason TO be satisfied with the computation
that there are slxty-four million people in
the nation. The increase IN the nations
wealth, which Mr.. Porter says is sixty
billions of dollars in the ten years, as COM
pared with forty billions for the previoSs
decade, is also very satisfactory. In yshhort,
the resT lis 5I Ine censaise .FC iar ffiom disap-

FATAL AND USELESS EFFORT.

Baron NordenskjOld, in a recent inter-
view telegraphed 10 this country, declared
his belief that Arctic explorations must 60
on until the secrets of the North Pole are
fully solved. A new expedition is to start
from Norway. He hopes it will penetrate
closer to the pole than any previous explor.
alton. As to the benefits to be secured BY
reaching the heart of the Ice-bound regions
the Swedish explorer says: "The North
Pole may be the key to thousand things.
Who knows?"
The world will always be ready to yield
due honor to the selfdenial, daring and de-
votion of its Arctic explorers. But with
full recognition OF the high aspirations that
prompt them to undergo their sufferings, it
must be said that his reasoning as to its
results is far from logical. 1t is equivalent,
reduced to the bald terms of common sense,
to alleging that the exploration of the polar
region may be of untold benefits, because
no one knows anything of it. The deduc-
ton has the inaccuracy which is common
where euthusiasmFises above reason; while
the statement of fdet, on which the logic is
based, is also incorrect.
We do not know enough of the polar
region to reach the conclusion that further
exploration can yield no secrets that will
compensate for the suffering and loss of lie
it will cost to make them. 1t has been es-
labllshed beyond dispute that it is q region
