LATEST CENSUS SCHEME.
By Which Every Person in the World
VIII BE Counted In
One Day.

A scheme is now on foot in Europe
to make a careful census of the entire
population of the earth early in the
year 1900. 1t is the intention OF the
people agitating the plan to have an
army of census takers start out on
particular day in every quarter of the
globe and complete the work in few
hours. The returns are to be sent into
a central station at Berne, Switzer-
land. The governments of several
countries are reported to have already
expressed their willingness to aid the
work in every possible way, reports
the New York Journal.
The takers of this great census will
of course have much important data
to guide them in their work. The most
important results in this direction are
those obtained by John Bartholomew.
+. r G. s., of Edinburgh. According
20 his figures the present population
of the entire globe is in round numbers
LAO, $50, 900. This is divided up as fol
lows: Indo-Germanic or Aryan, 545,
100000; Mongolian OF Turanian, 630,
600, 900; negro and Bant, $4,000, 900;
Hottentot and Bush. 10000; Malay
and Polynesian, 35,OOO,o0o. and Amer
lean Indian, 100000. It is expected
that the most difficult part of the IN
dertaking will be to count accurately
the population of China and the vast
hordes of central Africa. Those who
propose to undertake this work claim
to have such influence back of them
that the scheme is sure to be success

Asthma Can Be Cured.

How Pennsylvania Troops Are Even
Ing Up Things with n PrRc-
teal Joker.

A ''practicaT joker, well known
downtown, is at present taking a
good, hard dose of his own medicine
About two weeks ago he packed dry
goods box with old shoes, empty tin
cans and other rubbish and sent it off
to Tampa, Fla, consigned to one of the
companies of the Third regiment Penn
sylvania volunteers, with express
charges collect. The soldier boys
thought it was a box of supplies sent
by some kind friends, and gladly paid
the charges. Their chagrin in dis
covering the contents of the box may
be imagined, says the Philadelphia
Record
But they have since been turning the
tables with vengeance. They learned
the name of the joker, and for some
time past nearly every man in the com
pany has been writing a letter of
thanks every day to the sender Of the
box. The letters are mailed with the
soldiers privilege of sending mail
without stamps, postage to be col
lected from the receiver. The Joker
is paying two dollars a day in postage
for the letters of thanks he is receiv-
ing, and he's wondering how much
longer they will continue to come.

HOW CHINESE RISE,
The Feat of Cutting OF Mans Head
Brought One Monaghan
Fortune.

A correspondent supplies us with the
biography of a high Chinese official,
who is now one of the leading authori-
ties on foreign affairs. This man, it
seems, was born in Fatshan, and re-
ceived a good education. He inherited
some money, which he squandered.
and, being regarded by his family as
bad character, he was turned out
He then came to Hong Kong and set up
as fortune teller in Taipinshan, where
anyone could have his destiny told
him for a few cents. Finding he could
not make much III this line, he again
returned to Fatshan, where he started
an opium divan. when his friends dis
covered this they again tried to get
rid of him, and he agreed to go away
for good if he was paid 100 taels. The
money was found and the ex-fortune
teller started for Shanghai When a
clansman with whom he had in
gratiated himself was promoted TO the
grade of futal, he received an order
from the throne to behead certain
eunuch, who was in disgrace, but as
the eunuch was q favorite of the en-
press dowager, no one dare undertake
the execution of the order until the
subject OF this biography undertook
the task. He afterward met Ii Hung
Chang, and his promotion was then
rapid.

AN ANCIENT BOOK.
II IL Mammoth Volume $50 Years
Old and Is Owned by a Massa-
chusetts Man.

One of the recent additions made by
George Walter Vincent Smith to his
collection at the art museum is of I'M
usual interest. 1t is an immense book
or missal dating back to 1889, in which
are inscribed the words and music of
the Gregorian chants of the old Cath
ollc churches, says the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican.
The work in this book is beautifully
done, and its great antiquity is evident
from the first sight. The words are
inscribed by hand in Latin, and The
music is written out in some obsolete
kind of notation. The pages are of
parchment, and in an almost perfect
state of preservation. The initial let
tiers are beautifully illuminated.
n single page is nearly four feet long
by about two feet wide, and one man
can hardly handle the wood. 1t is
bound with boards of wood, covered
with leather, somewhat worn, and the
brass which is used for trimmings is
corroded. The book was evidently in
tended for use on some kind of a stand
in some fine old cathedral.
1t is said to have come from Seville.
Spain, some time ago, and to have been
sold because of the poverty of the
parish in order to make repairs on the
building. There is said to be but one
other such book in this country, and
that is al Detroit.

The Color Was Immaterial.

Here is a story about Commodore
Schley that is told in Washington:
About the time that he was looking for
a fleet the question of painting the
ships of the navy war color was I'M
der solemn consideration by some of
the precise officers of the big building.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt was
bothered daily by the question of tints
submitted to him by a board on war
ship color. when Schley remarked that
he did not care what color his ships
were painted so long as he had ships.
Paint them red if you like" said he,
cor paint them black, but let me have
them. Color is immaterial"
