Gent. Census taking ON a scale Of ade-
quate excellence in q country like ours
belongs to the exact sciences. That it
should ever be boggled and butchered
is q POLITICAL disgrace as we'll as an
economic damage. General Francis
Walker, as superintendent of the census
of 1880. reared a noble monument to
himself, and it was not his fault that
the final publication was SO belated.
Mr.. Porter, his successor, to lie just,
was quite aware Of the defects of the
1890 census, but was terribly hampered
by the conditions which took from him
the full control OF the appointment Of
his own force and limited his expendi-
ture.

material easily. The work is proceeded
with exactly as in embroidering with
silk in the usual way, with the differ
ence, however, that tho ribbon fills =
given space with remarkable rapidity,
tmparting q raised appearance that adds
greatly to the richness of the finished
work.
It is we'll known that except in the
hands of u very skilled worker double
roses do not look we'll in solid embroid-
cry, especially if they be small. The
single wild rose therefore is universally
preferred. But with ribbon work the
case is different, for it represents very
charmingly small, double rose.
Crinkled ribbon is the greatest novel
ty for this style Of fancy work, and it
gives better results for double flowers
than the straight ribbons. When en-
ployed, it is hard for the inexperienced
eye to detect that ribbon has been used
at all, for the blossoms appear 40 though
they were embossed in solid flE& silk
embroidery.
The material for tho foundation
should be preferably Of satin of good
quality, although linen is sometimes
used.
The design for q small photograph
frame isquite simple, but it is also very
effective. Tho ribbons are put in with
