NO PERMANENT CENSUS BU-
REAU WANTED.

The New York Herald says: Super
intendent Porter asks the views OF
leading commercial hodies on the
question Of establishing permanent
census bureau.
His idea seems to be that q better
compilation Of statistics would be Sc
cured by such a change than under
the present system. s./ .1H
This is virtual confession that the
eleventh census is not SC good as it
might be. ,....
That is very true, but the reason is
to be found, not in the system, but in
the execution OF the work. It has
been abundantly proved by experience
that thorough aud accurate census
can be taken by a temporary force
specially organized for that purpose.
No just complaint, for example, has
ever been made against the enumer-
alton Of 1880, taken under the super
vision Of Francis A. Walker.
The CENSUS of 1890 is worth less be-
cause it is inaccurate, aud hence not
to be trusted. 1t is inaccurate be-
cause partisan methods were resorted
to; because the work was carlessly
and 'iEcompletely done, and because
an obstinate determination was mani
tested not to correct proved errors of
great magnitude.
TO prevent such abuses it is not
necessary to establish n permanent
census bureau, which would be a
source Of needless extravaganza and
other evils. A far better thing for
Congress to do would be to order
new census taken in place of the
worthless one now under way.

UMBRELLAS BY tAE YEAR.

And Man Need Carry One Only When
~ It 10 Raining: $50
The four drummers were PLAYING
whist on the Shore line train. While
one Of them was shutting the cards,
says the Boston Herald, another took
from the corner of the seat very
stylish-looking umbrella and placed It
in the rack overhead.
That's goodlooking piece of silk"
said tho man who was shutning, as he
glanced at the umbrella. Cost about
q saw horse?'
and replied: "It costs me Just three
dollars year to carry that UNI brclln.
Haven't you fellows tumbled to the
new racket? There is company just
organized in New York which provides
man with umbrellas for the rest OF
his natural life for the consideration OF
three dollars q year. The company
puts its umbrellas into the hotels and
news stands. Every umbrella bears
the company's stamp. When a man
joins the association he pays three
dollars and gets q check good for one
year. He puts his check in his pocket
and starts out. If he gets caught in q
shower in Skowhegan he merely goes
over to hotel, delivers his check and
gets an umbrella.
IF the rain continues, as it usually
does in Maine, he takes the umbrella
with him until he fetchcs up, we'll say,
here at the Crocl1cr house in New Lon
don. There he leaves the umbrella and
gets check again. Of course, if he
loses the umbrella he is out three dol
lars; but that is u good deal less than a
good umbrella costs, and ho can join
the combination again by paying an
other three dollars. I tell you it's d
great scheme. for it keeps man all the
time supplied with an umbrella and
obliges him to carry it only when he
wants it. And the company will make
plenty of money, too, for if man
leaves one of the umbrellas anywhere
whoever finds it will see the stamp and
in nine cases out of ten will return it to
one of the company's Offices
Somebody will be starting q COM
pany to supply drummcrs with drinks
ut so much 4 year." said one of the
other men as lie picked up his hand,
but nobody but the commission men
could afford to go into that. What's
trumps?"

Science in Bread Making.

At the recent annual meeting Of tho
American Chemical Society, held in
Washington, D. c., the question of
the value Of carbonate Of ammonia rs
a leavenlng agent in bread, or as uee
in baking powders, came up for dis
cussion, in which Prof. Barker, of the
University of Pennsylvan'", and
President OF the Society; DR. RRich-
ardson. late of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture in Washing
ton; DR.. VIM. McMutrie, late Prof. of
Chemistry in the University of ILL
nois; DR.. E. H. BARLEY, late Chemist
of the Brooklyn, N. Y, Board OF
Health, and Prof. Of Chemistry of the
Long Island College, and others took
part.
The consensus of opinion was over
whelming in favor Of the employment
OF ammonia. It was stated MS q fact
that ammonia rendered the gluten CT
the flour more soluble than the orig
incl gluten, and that the bread in
which this action was produced by
carbonate Of ammonia must be more
digestible and hence more healthful,
and because of the extrome volatility
or carbonate Of ammonia and it's COM
plete expulsion from the bread i'm the
process OF baking, it is ono of the most
useful, most healthful ard most va
liable leavening agents known.
These conclusions are horne out bv
the very elaborate and exhaustive OK
periments made by Prof. j. w. Ma)let
OF the University OF Virginia, which
show conclusively that bread made
with baking powder in which one
per cent. Of carbonate Of ammonia il
used, in connection with cream Of tar.
tor and soda, is not only OF uniformly
better color and texture, but a pro.
duct moro wholesome, because the
ammonia serves to neutralize any or.
ganic or lactic acids present In the

SIMPSONS MULE.
The Latest Campaign Story OF tho Kan
Statcsman.

The Latest Campaign Story of tho Kan
sas Statesman.
One of the best stories of the year is
told by Jerry Simpson, popularity known
rs the "Sockless Socrates of Medicine
Lodge" He had been talking about the
attempt of the old parties to capture the
alliance vote, when he compared tho as
tute politician to the Kansas mule, says
the Atlanta Constitution.
"Out in Kansas" said he, "there is
boy who had Taught his mule to SQUAT
when he touched him on the flank with
his heels, and one day when he was
riding beside an Englishman the mule
sat down on his launches. Whats the
matter with your mule?' said the Eng
lishman. Why said the boy. he's a
setter; don't you see that rabbit out
there" The Englislm' 4 was much as
tonished. They rode on awhile and
the mule squarued again. WHAT'S he
doing now?' said the Englishman. Hes
settin' agin,' said the boy. Don't You
sec that flock of quail?' BY this time
the Englishman was dying to own the
mule. An animal he could ride that
was also setter would be priceless to
such a nimrod as he. He offered to buy
the mule, but the boy didn't want to
sell him. Finally he concluded to swap
he mule for the Englishman's fine bay
horse and ono hundred dollars to boot.
The Englishman mounted the mule, the
boy mounted the horse and they rode
on. After awhile they came to n creek
and the Englishman drew up his feet to
keep them from getting wet. About
holt way through, the water got so deep
he had to draw his feet up to the mules
flank. As soon as the boot heels touched
