Next summer the states census will
again have to be taken. The laws of
Wisconsin provide for a state census
every ten years. The last one taken
under the supervision of>the state was
gathered in 1885 and it cost about $751;
QUO to simply pay the canvassers
That amount will be materially in
creased next year owing TO the in
crease in population since 1885. In
that year the law stipulated that city
and town clerks should gather the
statistics or if those officers were I'M
able TO do 81. rl,ey We're empowered to
appoint assistants. The compensation
ranged from So down to S1.50 for ev-
cry 100 persons enumerated. the price
depending on the density of the pop
ulation. The returns must be in with
in a limited time and for this reason
any town or city clerk who has any
considerable number of people in his
district must have numerous assist
ants. Compensation of census-takers
in 1885 ranged all the way from 81 to
$1,000. In all probability law will
be passed by the legislature this Win
ter regulating the taking of next years
census.
During the last legislature there
were about eighty permanent clerical
positions in the assembly and about
sixty In the senate. These figures do
not include the enyrnssing and en-

A Washington Landscape.

Mr.. Hamlin Garland, in his paper,
Western Landscapes, in the December
Atlantic, thus gives an impressionist
sketch Of Washington Landscape:-
Everywhere are greens,-bronze-green
Of the frs, gray-green and emerald-green
Of the MOSES, the yellow-green OF the
ferns, the blue-green OF the pines, the
pea-green of the little frs, and the tender
timid grass blades. These are the colors
nothing brighter, nothing gay. All is
sombre; all is oppressive.
1t rains much and then these forests be-
come terrible.
They drip with gray globules. The frs
shake, and the hunter is inundated with
water. His feet splash in half concealed
pools, and slip in the spongy soil.
The wind moves the branches mysteri.
ously in the mist which hides their tops,
and which the wind cannot clear away.
A wild moaning snarl sounds down out
of this mist,-a sound that reaches the
soul, and shakes it, and sickens it.
The day comes tardily, and the night
rushes upon the traveller like vulture.
Each day is like the one which preceded
it, differing onely is the added gloom and
despair which settled upon the heart.
Then comes asudden change OF wind at
sunset. The air groves sweet and serene
as May.
The sky clears swiftly. Towards the
west radiant wall OF rose. pink and violet
rises, incredibly beautiful,-the Olympic
mountains!
A vast cone of rosy white, wearing a
streaming hood Of purple cloud, rises in
the east. 1t is Mount Rainier.
The heart of the traveller leaps with an
intoxication of pleasure he lifts his arms
to the blue sky and the falling sun.
1t seems rs If he could not let the sun set,
it is so beautiful!
But it sinks. The light goes out OF the
Olympic range. 1t grows dusky purple
against the dull yellow sky. But Mount
Rainier still catches the light of the fallen
sun.
The frogs burst out in song; the farm
yard fowls take no voice; children in the
villages shout with glee.
The light leaving the kngly mountain,
the kingliest of all the coast, save
Shasta, and the damp, chill dusk comes
to deepen the somber forests into cold and
desolute night.

The Five Knights.

The gray castle stands high on the hill.
The towers seem to touch the clouds,
and the rock on which it rests reaches
down to the clear lake.
The masts of the ships try to reach as
high as the towers, and the white sails
are carried along by the same wind as are
the clouds.
In the early morning the castle gate
swings open and five knights ride out into
the world. Their horses are swift and
strong. The knights are fearless and brave.
Together they ride through the woods,
into cities, and from village to village.
They do not tarry long in any place,
but the people are made glad even to
know that the knights have passed their
way.
The children say to their fathers:
"Why do they not stay?"
The fathers answer;
"They lave great work to do all over
the world"
"But what work do they do?"
wherever they ride OH their swift
horses, with their waving plumes and safe
armor, they are telling the people that it
is good to be brave and beautiful"
Then the children turn to the mothers
and ask:
"Why are the people glad to see the
great knights ride by?''
The mothers made answer.
"For the same reason that you are glad
because all love the great, the strong,
the beautiful and brave"
Amalie Hofer.
