THE NEXT CENSUS.

Congress will probably pass a bill at
this session to provide for taking the
next census. The primary purpose Of
the government in thus counting the
people, which the constitution requires
to be done once in ten years, is to
ascertain how many representatives in
congress shall be apportioned to each
state. Until a first census could be
taken the constitution itself specified
the number of representatives allowed
to each Of the thirteen states. Vir-
ginia was assigned ten members, Mas
sachusetts and Pennsylvania were al
lowed eight each, New York and Mary
land six each, and the other states
were granted representation in the
same arbitrary manner. The total
membership of the first house of rep
resentatives was sixty-five.
The apportionment based on the first
census, that of 1890, allowed one rep
rosentative for every $4,000 people, as
near as the divisions could be made.
On that basis the membership of the
house became 105. By the next cer-
sus, ten years later, using the same
"unit Of population" the number of
representatives was increased to 141.
Since that time it has been neces-
sary with every new census to allow
a larger population to each district,
and also, with the exception of one
decade, to enlarge the membership Of
the house. A part Of the increase has
been caused by the admission of new
states. There are now 357 men in the
house, and each congressional district
is made to contain as near 173, 901 souls
by the census of 1890 as is possible.
The forthcoming census in 1900 will,
as usual, make new apportionment
necessary. The population of the
United States, which was 62,622, $50 in
1890, will be, it is estimated. from
"A 900 900 to 100000, not including
our new possessions.
It is not desirable to have the house
of representatives made much larger
If it's efficiency as legislative body
is to be maintained. Hence, that in
crease of population will probably
make necessary an enlargement of the
congressional district-perhaps an in
crease to 20,0OO-which would be six
times the population of the original
unit of apportionment.

Energy to Spare.

'I feel just as though 1 had been
drawn through knothole," declared a
Woodward avenue man of business,
and it was only 10 in the forenoon.
"Out late to some party or theater?"
laughed his partner. Cant stand
those things as you could when a
youngster. You do two mems work
here, and that demands regular hab-
its for the rest of the twenty-four
hours" reports the Detroit Free Press.
I'm as regular as a clock. l wasn't
out late at all, and haven't missed
going to bed before IL since holiday
week. But the old gentleman is visit
ing me. You don't know my father,
do you? He's one of the honest yeo-
many of the land. Was reared n
farmer, and is disposed to look down
upon almost every other calling as too
dependent for spirited American cit
izen. He's 70, and lively as a cricket.
There is many a young man of 80
that might we'll envy him."
But what has he to do with your
being used up?"
Everything. He gets up at every
morning and PAGES UP AMI down,
whistling like a piccolo player and
asking himself aloud where in creation
the family is. He goes into the kitch-
en- and hauls the cook over for not
having breakfast ready, jollies with
tho milkman, and then reads the paper
in the tones of a stump orator. There
is no chance to sleep after 5, but I'm
not going TO have the old gentleman
interfered with, although all OF us will
be going around in a partial trance &c
long as he chooses to stay"
