TIE CHINESE CENSUS.

Through Ii Hung Changes Efforts the
People Of China VIII BE Counted.
Early in 1898 the first complete CEN
sus of the Chinese empire is to be TAX
EN-. The approaching enumeration has
been ordered only after numerous con-
ferences between Earl Lii Hung Chang,
the empress dowager and the emperor.
years meeting of the international
statistical institute held in Bern,
committee, appointed to consider ways
and means for taking "world census"
decided that the aid of LII Hung Chang
must be enlisted. They met him in Ber-
lin and secured promise of his infiu-
ence at Picking.
On his return to China, Earl Ii
preached the subject to the empress
dowager. He explained the object and
need of census and that the total num-
Der of people in the world could not be
arrived at unless China did her share.
The European countries, he said wanted
to know, and besides he could not go
back ON his promise once made, because,
according to Chinese proverb, when
the superior man has once spoken, four
horses cannot pull back his word"
Her majesty gave him line to the
emperor. AT first his majesty was dis
posed to resent the interference OF q
committee of unknown Europeans, but
Lii explained that in other countries a
census was customary and that if China
was to be on level with other coun-
tries she must take census. The en-
peror finally gave his consent and pro-
vided LII with an autograph order to see
that the wishes of the Swiss committee
were carried out.
The next step was to transmit the i'm
perial orders to the governors general OF
the provinces. The governors have sent
the order out to the district magistrates,
and ON the next official day they will
summon all the local constables and ex-
plain that this time there is to be full
and fair count.-New York Sun.

Dan Wallingford, years old, of 442
North Penn street, Indianapolis:

boy was a great reader of American his
tory and patriotic literature and had
written the letter and sent the stamps
entirely without suggestion from any
other person. The stamps were pur-

An appropriate letter of thanks will
be sent to the young patriot. The navy
department does not know what to do

LudicrOus Rage.

Possibly as ludicrous thing as ever
happened was the experience of my
friend, Professor Roswell Park of Buff
falo. A mans life had been saved by
the beautiful surgical skill of a success
full laryngotomy. When health had been
restored, my friend proposed to his pa
tient the insertion of an artificial larynx,
so that vowel tones, or true voice, could
be added to the whisper that necessarily
resulted from the absence of the vocal
chords. This apparently highly desir-
able thing was done, but the tone, of
course, was uniform. There was no
change of pitch possible to the mechan-
ical larynx, and expression, meditation,
timbre-everything that makes voice
pleasant and more than useful was alb
sent. The man could speak, convey
ideas perfectly, but when he tried to
give emphasis, nuances. shadings, di-
verse meanings and especially when he
tried to express emotion, anger or resent
ment there were only the monotonous
drone and squeak of the intolerable ma
chine Nothing could control the con-
vulsive laughter of the surgeon and as
sistants. The poor mans Indignation
sought outlet in speech, but the very
words of wrath were turned to outra-
geous absurdity by the internal device
In spasm Of ebullient rage he tore the
mechanism out of his throat, cursed the
man who had saved his life and is
probably running and hoarsely whisper
ing invectives at him still. He never
