animal kingdom which have vanished
from the world before the rapacity of
man.
For ages the only known habitat of
the unicorn was on a coat-of-arms and
he was discredited as a reality until an
actual one-horned rhinoeeros was
found IN India and Sumatra. when
folk began to revise their syllabus OK
repudiated legends Still the Aslatic
rhinoceros was a poor sort of creature
for such heroic fame. and it was not
until the opening of the present cent
ury that the unicorn was fully identi-
fed with the uncouth pachyderm At
that time Burchell discovered, In the
region Of South Africa. between the
Orange and Zambesi rivers, the stu
peadcus creature known as rh;noeeros
sinus. or, in common phrase, the white
or one-horned rhinoceros. although,
indeed. it was neither white nor, strict
lY speaking, one horned. 2
Its color was dirty gray, almost
verging on mouse color. And it had
two horns, though one was so small as
to be scarcely perceptible; a mere
hump with tuft of stout bristles,
three or four inches high. The other
real horn was from three to four
feet long, thick and tufted about with
bristles at the base, and curving and
tapering gracefully to hard sharp
point. This might have been formid-
able weapon in battle, though the
rhinoceros usually dealt with its foes
by trampling them under foot, and
used the horn as rod of guidance for
its young.
The full grown white rhinoceros
was nearly seven feet high at the
shoulders, and from fourteen to six
teen feet long, and thus in bulk sur
passed every other modern quadruped
except the elephant, which it almost
rivaled.

her attention; but there were hundreds
there, and the veil prevented any one
from seeing which striped one IL was.
The prisoners all turned away their
heads as they passed the woman. Was
it prison rule that prompted this, or
sense of shame that has survived

one in that line recognized the trim fig.
ure and graceful pose of the strange
woman he could never be detected by
the flush, for flushed faces were too
numerous.
When the last man on the last line,
a negro on crutches, who killed a po-
liceman on Wall street, had disap
peared in the door, the woman was es-
corted out by the keeper. She thanked
Principal Keeper Connaughton for his

THE MACHINE.

| $4,000. 600 population. the saving with
the Hollerith apparatus would be nearly
5000, 600. As a matter of fact, as the
saving was based on an estimate of 500
cards punched per day, while zoo was
the average, the saving is 40 per cent
more than was expected.
Many people will remember the
broad sheet schedules that were pre-
scented to them by the official enumer-
ators to be filed up. Each of these
schedules provided for some thirty de-
tails regarding any of ten individuals.
Such a sheet would therefore serve for
family or household of ten people.
but as matter of fact it was found
that the average fell slightly be-
low five; so that in the
neighborhood of $4,000, 600 of
these schedules were sent into
tine census office, representing the work
of about fifty thousand enumerators.
To-day these sheets, tied up in about
fifty thousand packages, have been APP
propriately deposited in one of those
time honored storehouses of vital sta
tistics-a church-and constitute liter
ally our modern Book of Numbers.
The first thing, however, to be done
with these myriad records was to get
at their gross totals, and upon this
work the Hollerith system was put
through kind of preliminary canter.
The ingenious machine was fitted with
small numbered keyboard of ordi-
nary construction, the keys being con-
nected electrically with the dials,
which We're so arranged that one of
them would furnish the grand total of
families as check against the separ-
ate totals of the others for families of
different sizes. The keys were in three
rows, of which the top one, stamped
from to S, recorded the number of
families in each house. The other two
rows nearer the manipulation were
numbered from / to 10 and IL
to 20 and recorded the persons

A noted temperance lecturer once
visited the shop of a halter and asked
him to give something to 1.-THE cause. -
The shopmau eoldly replied that he
had no interest in it and then it was
that the temperance man began to in
strnet him, after the Socratic method
of question and answer.
Il am sorry to hear that. he said,
''for it shows me that you are not ac-
quainted with your own business"
If you are more familiar with my
business than l am, said the man,
with some spirit, Il shall be happy to
take lessons of you.

money on every hat you sell2"
Yes

should see scores of men wearing on
their heads old, miserable slonched
hats which ought years ago to have
been thrown into the fire. Now why
don't those men come at once and buy
of you?'
''That is not a difficult question to
answer" said the shopman. They
are too poor to buy hats.
''what has more influence than
LIQUOR in emptying their pockets, and
not only that but injuring their self

willing to wear old clothes?''
