WASHINGTON. Sept, 2S-Ex-Gov-
ernor Merriam director Of the census.
has had several conferences at the
White House recently as to matters
pertaining TO his bureau Among these
1T is said, is the subject of questions
which are to be propounded to the To-
100000 people of the country next
June. They have been decided upon
by Director Merriam ana will soon he
printed. They have met with the ap-
prevail of the President, it is said.
In general the endeavo- has been to
make the questions simpler than be-
fore. and TO reduce their number. This
If accord with the views of the cen
sus committee of the TWO houses of
Congress. Several Of the questions
which aroused the most antagonism ir
1890 have been omitted altogether.
The chief of these was the inquiry OF
each person whether he or she hau
any acute or chronic disease.

Our miserable roads IRE getting
considerable better. If warm clear
weather would continne for ten days,
skiffs, snow shoes, flying machines,
etc, would be of iitteaid to us. The
great drawback to our country is our
bottomlcss roads. The State Legisla-
ture has cut our road tax to five cents
on the hundred dollars valuation,
leaving our roadoverseers in worse
shape to work the roads than ever.
Recently we heard an eX-overseer say
that the present taxes would not keep
up the bridges. There is one of two
things we must do, work the roads or
/ stay at home. You may talk with a
man about working the road. He
will not work, because his neighbors
will not work, and yet travel the road
just a. much as he. IT there is not an
awake ming of the minds of the people
our country will become as desert
like Arkansas. Everybody preach
gravel roads, pray gravel roads and
builds gravel roads or "Bust."

A Pretty Irish Romance.

Irish Independent: A strange ro-
nance has just come to a conclusion
in the County Antrim. Some quarter
OF a century ago IL German count, of
high position and great wealth, was
sailing about the northern coast and
came to grief upon the rocky shores of
n certain island, owned by a family
who bore the title of Kings of -
Island"-not altogether in u f~guratiye
sense, though they We're, and are, the
quietest of country gentlemen. The
shipwrecked count was Hospitality en-
tertained by the owner of the island
in the IL good house which it CON
tanned. During his stay he fell in love
with the pretty daughter of the house,
and ultimately carried her back To-
Germany with him as his countess.
Years went on, the count and countess
were dead, and their only daughter
was maid of honor at a certain CONT
mental court. enjoying a high position,
for, in addition to her fathers own
rank, she was n cousin of the young
queen of Holland. Then came misfor-
tune, loss of money, and it is rumored
an "affaire de occur" that caused trou-
bic. The young countess fled from
the court (where all were anxious to
retain her), and came to stay with her
Irish relations, whom she had never
seen. Now the end Of the story FAC
cording to the novelistic view has
come. for she is engaged to a gentle
man living in Randalstown, County
Antrim, and intends to give up courts,
queens and counts for good, and set
tie down to a quiet country town life
with her Irish lover.

Incident of Manila Life.

Pail Mall Gazette: A story concern
ing the American troops in Manila is
told by an English naval officer WHO
was an eye witness to the occurrence.
THE city was quite crowded" lie says,
with both American and Spanish sol
oilers, and they seemed to be OF the
terms. AS I was crossing
ons Sof the numerous bridges, across
the Pasig river l saw n native Filipino
spit in the face of a Spanish officer and
then run to the American sentinel who
was guarding the bridge, demanding
his protection. 1t was some time be
fore the Filipino could make himself
understood, and the sentry took ON
time to grasp what had been done. but
you can imagine my surprise when he
handed his gun TO the Spanish officer
and caught the native by the nape Of
the neck and the seat of his trousers
and pitched him off the bridge into the
Pasig river. Then lie calmly took his
gun from the Spanish officer and be-
gan pacing his beat rs If nothing had
happened. The American soldier may
not be so military as his brother of
Europe, but he is made Of the right
stuff"
