Census Taking In China.

In china census methods are simple
They don't have much trouble to take
a census there When the time for max
ing a count Of the families and their
individual members comes around, the
head of each house is compelled by law
to write on slip of paper the number
of individuals living with him and the
name of each person, The authorities
lay particular stress upon correct spell
ing, and there is a severe penalty at
tached to any misrepresentation either
as to the number of persons or their
names This obviates in the beginning
the wrestling with unpronounceable
names, which helps to make life inter
esting for the American census taker,
and reduces the enumeration of the
population Of Chinese city to a very
simple process.

THE NEWS FROM HAVANA.


Sensational story.
Havana. May 11.--A sensational re-
port has been published in the local pa
pers here of the discovery OF 500 Mauser
rifles in the possession Of prominent
antiannexationist of Havana. Chief Of
Detectives Alfonso Lopez chara cterizes
the report as absurd and says that 1t
was customary for Spanish colonels to
keep the regimental arms at their
homes, where they would be accessible
to the soldiers in case of need.
Senior Lopez said that he knew of
many such officers houses that had not
yet been searched, and he believed that
he could collect many more arms with
in 4S hours and probably obtain 10000
rounds of ammunition.
Casa Blanca, the fishing village across
the harbor, which was formerly breed
ing place of disease, has been disinfect-
ed and whitewashed, and the Chinese
have been removed from the village.
Surgeon Major John G. Davis reports
that the place is now free from infec-
ton.
The translation of the Spanish civil
code promises to develop the need of
many reforms. The completion of the
work is expected soon.
The engineering department is paw
ing Tacon street in front of General
Ludow's palace With sheet asphalt A
schooner is expected to arrive here soon
with $4,000 asphalt blocks for paving
Ohlspo street. The department will also
try vitritied brick for paving and will
adopt whichever material proves most
satisfactory.

THE FRENCH MENACE.
Complaint That 1t Is Not the Model

Complaint That 1t Is Not the Model
Affair CInincd For 1t.
An English writer who has evidently
suffered inyoighs rather severely against
the long cxtolled thrift of the French
housekeeper, which, if it be thrift, is,
according to his notion, pernicious
economy, He considers the meager
messes served and reserved until the
last scrap is consumed which make up
the course dinner of the French people
most unsatisfactory and far from APP
petizing. ut has been said, he quotes,
"that French housekeeper will serve
grilled chicken foot, making it sub
stantial course - This he denies-not
the service but the substantial part
of it.
AS to the soup of the provincial
French home. he asserts it is not
thing to be described by the uninitiated,
and it is certainly not meant for deli
cate palate. 1t tastes like hot water in
which quantities of cabbage have been
boiled. "Then, he goes on to affirm,
"the only dish of meat will often con-
sist of that which has been used in the
making of the soup"
This testimony is borne out by Amer
lean travellers, who get very tired OF
soup meat as dinner dish. For the
davoring and finishing of a dish the
French are doubtless unsurpassed, but
the allegation that the sauce is made
more important than the substantial
and that the garnishino takes prece-
dence over the dish it surrounds is not
without considerable foundation. The
well known stony of the French cook
who won wager by serving boot
heel scraped and stewed and simmered
and finally served with an enhancing
sauce is a good illustration of much
French cooking.
