CENSUS OF 1900.

The schedules for 1900 are under
five heads: The individual, corpora
tons, agricultural, mortality and
special. The questions to be put to
individuals are; Your age, conjugal
condition,plac of birth, birthplace of
parents, alien or naturalized, number
OF years in the United States, occu-
patton, number OF months employed,
iteracy, school attendance, and own
ership Of property. A person over 20
years Of age is considered RESPONSE
BILE representative to answer for every
member Of the family. The above
questions are the ores you will be
compelled to answer. If further
questions are put to you you may
safely ignore them.
II you are out your neighbor may
answer for you, he is supposed to
know all about you. Refusal to an
swer or any Justification is a INSIDE
meanor punishable by fine of 500
an alternative punishment, however,
providing that the guilty party has
not the ready money,is not mentioned.
The schedules under individuals is
rather modest, while the inquiries per-
tanning to manufacturing establish
ments are preteutious. Here are the
questions that will make perjurers of
many an honest merchant: Name
your character of organization;
whether individual or co operative;
character OF business; kind of goods
manufactured; amount Of capital in
vested; firm members, co partners or
officers; amount of their salaries;
number OF employees; amount of
wages; quantity and cost OF material

penses; quantity and value of pro-
ducts; character and quantity of pow
or used; character and number of
machines used. The president, Sec
rotary, treasurer or any direct mem-
Der is answerable for all. Any refus.
al to answer or any false statement is
an offence for which the culprit may
be fined $4,000 or 60 to prison for
one year, or both.

FLOWERS FOR OLD STAMPS.
How the Women Of st. Marks Epis-
eOpHl Church In Chicago Get
Altar Decorations.

One church congregation in Chicago
collects $4,000 Cancelled postage stamps
every week, and 300, 900 in year. This
is St. Marks Episcopal church, corner
Cottage Grove avenue and Thirty-sixth
street. These stamps are Sold to flor
list for eight cents thousand, and in re-
turn he furnishes flowers for the altar
every Sunday. For a long time the COM
mittee of ladies in charge of the church
decoration were dismayed AT the scant
appropriation for the purchase Of flow
ers. At last one of them hit upon the
plan of selling old postage stamps. En-
thusiasm was communicated to the
Sunday school pupils. They visited Of
fees OF vestrymen and prominent
church members downtown and got
them to save the postage stamps on
their correspondence. Ladies of the
church began to carry on correspond
ence with long-neglected friends for
the sake OF accommodating cancelled
postage stamps, and the habit is now
fixed, says the Inter Ocean.
"Why, I'd as soon think Of throw
ing away car fare as to waste old post
age stamps" said one.
The stamps at first were counted, but
now an arrangement has been made
with the florist to take them by weight.
1t is said that they are purchased by
foreign paper mills. Owing to the fine
quality of the material used by Uncle
Sam for stamps they make over into an
excellent brand Of paper.

A few days ago DR.. Stubbs receiv-
ed an invitation to read a paper at
the eighth session of the National r.
rigation Congress to be held at Mis-
soula, Montana, Sept. 1927, 1899.
The doctor will leave Reno on the
10th and return on about the Both OF
September. ..
The Congress is composed Of dele.
gates appointed by the Governors of
States, State Boards of Agriculture
and representatives from agricultur.
al colleges and experimental sta.
tons.
1t would be difficult to overestimate
the Importance OF the SESSIONS OF the
Irrigation Congress. In recent years
the vast area Of arid land in the Unit.
ed States has been tho subject of
much thought and discussion and the
problem OF making them fertile is ap.
preaching solution. Upon the rec
lamation OF these lands depends to q
great extent the prosperity Of the ma
ton. 1t is a subject that is engross.
ing the attention of statesmen, agri.
culturists, editors and engineers.
The valleys Of western Montana, OF
which Missoula is the confer, offer q
splendid object lesson Of the result OF
scientific irrigation. Visitors will be
shown the practical working Of exten.
Bive irrigation systems. There It has
been demonstrated that semi.arid

Found by Saul.

In 1864, says an exchange, a regi-
ment Of Confederates from South
Carolina were marching north to join
Lee. While in North Carolina they
camped one day on opposite hills be-
tween which road ran. It happen
ed that an old Methodist preacher, a
strong Unionist, lived in that vicinity.
Early the next morning the preacher
mounted his mule and rode down the
road, meaning to pass through the
camp to show his contempt for the
rebels. He was very old man with
stern face and long white beard,
which, taken with his white hair,yave
him an appearance decidedly patriar-
chial.
"Hullo, fellows. here comes Father
Abraham" called one soldier to a
comrade on the opposite hill, as the
old man rode between them.
%No, he isn't" shouted back the
other che is Father Jacob"
The old parson stopped and shook
the finger Of scorn at the laughing
soldiers.
Il am neither Father Abraham nor
Father Jacob" he cried. A number

him.

CRUSHED A DIVING BELL.
The Tremendous Water Pressure al
Great Depths shows by an
Odd Accident.

"A crushed mass of iron in a Pitts
burgh scrapyard demonstrates the ire
mendous pressure of water at q great
depth, says the New York World.
II was constructed for diving bell
for use in Lake Michigan. AS originally
constructed it was about six feet square
and tapered slightly at both ends. The
material was phosphor bronze, more
than half an inch thick. Each plate
was cast with flange, and they were
bolted together, the bolts being placed
as closely as was consistent with
strength. The side plates were further
strengthened by iron ribs an inch thick
and two inches wide. ....;.-.
In fact, the entire structure was
strongly braced. The windows to be
used as outlooks by the divers were
three inches square, fortified with iron
bars and set with glass plates an inch
thick. The weight of the bell was g.
600 pounds. ~
When completed it was sent to Mil
waukee and towed out into the lake
about IL miles, where there was over
200 feet of water, and was sent down
for test. The manufacturer was so
confident of the strength of the bell
that he wanted to go down in it.
He is glad now that he didn't. When
the bell reached the depth of about 100
feet strong timbers attached to it came
to the surface in a splinterrd condition.
SusPectlng an accident. the bell was
hauled up and found to be crushed into
shapeless mass. The inch-thick plate

pressure that crushed this seemingly
lnVulnerable structure amounted to q
total OF 2,723,54s pounds, of /, 1862 tons.

Valuable Foreign Seeds.

Mr.. Jared Smith, one of the grass
experts Of the Department of Agri-
culture, states that the Department
has received some seeds that may
prove interesting to Western farmers.
They are mostly from the arid regions
Of Siberia and Russian Turkstan, q
country in many respects resembling
the arid regions of the West. Among
them are hardy vetch, which is cold
and drought resisting, a variety Of
winter rye, which is especially
hardy and drought resisting, oats
and two or three kinds Of winter
wheat. Most of the seeds are suit
able to climates having extremes of
temperature, and the Department is
willing to supply free trial lots to
farmers wishing to test them. Some
OF the Turkestan alfalfa which is
thought to be very drought resistant
is available.

Notice should be taken of the efforts

Clark Russell, in the Pail Mall Gazette.
He has doubled his ship, he has slung
his ship as in cradle. To no purpose.
The life of the channel steward remains
an arduous one. Seasickness is not to
be considered by the sbipwright. If II
was merely the rolling motion that ere

In 1892, in the reign of the much
wronged Queen Liliuokalani, scores
OF respectable and influential citi-

the Hawaiian Kingdom to establish
a lottery in Hawaii 1t was unques-
tiouably wrong to do so, and many

names we refrain from publishing,
are now ashamed of the act They
are growing in grace and the beauty
of holiness, as our good friend, Sere.
no E. Bishop, would say.

Woman's Fate.

No woman is better able to speak

from the illness which kept her bed
fast much Of the time for five or six

due to that well-known remedy Dr.
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Weaver is fifty-six years old,
and has lived in Bushnell nearly
thirty years. She is OF unquestion-
ed veracity and unblemished reputa-
tation. The story of her recovery
is interesting. She says:
