sFamiIy. In the Census.

There are some queer features about
the census use of the word family"
1t means practically those who eat at
the same table. \ hotel is n family.
The Memorial Hall Dining association
at Cambridge is n family; so is the
Danvers Lunatic asylum. \ stray man
who keeps bachelors hall is n family.
The necessity for this use of the term
came with the question of enumerat-
ing domestic servants. 1t was found
absolutely impossible to attach them
to their own families. scattered as they
are. They had TO go with the family
they were living with. This led to a
continuation Of the principle, with the
result mentioned. AS it works out, the
census family differs from the actual
family il size only by small fraction

MONEY MAKING.
The Quickest Way to Pile Up Wealth In
This Business Era.

The reason of the modern differences
in favor of business as an instrument of
money making is not far to seek. 1t is
the enormous growth in the scale of ev-
erything in which business can be done.
The enterprise of merchant, of con-
tractor, Of n mine dealer, even of 4 shop
keeper, may now cover the whole world
and may be carried on, moreover, main
y upon, credit. 1t may be doubted
whether, except in ti;ose transactions
which are called financial, - and which
really mean the taking of heavy brides
for pecuniary support, any one transac-
ton ever yields quite as much as the
same transactions would have yielded
60 years ago; whether, for example, any
cargo ever produces ton for ton an equal
margin of profit, or whether any Gus
toner in shop pays quite so heavy
percentage on the goods he buys.
1t is the magnitude and multiplied
ton of cargoes which yield fortunes,
the thousands instead of hundreds of
customers whom clever dealers may in
duce to spend money. The new system
of rapid turnover is, of course, precisely
the same thing-the dealer selling four
times what he did and using only the
same capital. This advantage of scale Is
almost entirely wanting 70 the profes-
sional man, for the obvious reason that
he is hampered by limitations of time
There are only 600 minutes in hard
worked day, and the seeker after in
come, be he as able as he may or as de-
cided or as rapid, must give some of
those minutes to each client or patient
or contractor with a difficulty to meet
If he does not, he loses custom, and
with custom income rapidly slips away.
There are no doubt favorite lawyers,
doctors and even engineers whose ad-
vice is sought at great expense, when
equally good advice is procurable much
cheaper, but still the favorites must give
their advice and lose their days in doing
it, or they will speedily be deserted

How q Crack Shot Became Indebted

said one of a party of late diners "Ac-
cording to the yarn, General Miles and

stationed and sent word that they
would like to see little exhibition of
his skill. Patillo happened to be quite
sick at the time, but he couldn't very
well refuse and presently appeared on
the long distance range. He blaZed

been sent out to act as marker, waved

Trains. worry. Disease and Death.

Late trains are n source of annoyance
to everybody. The British Medical
Journal dwells upon the very serious
result produced by them upon the
health Of travellers. The rush to the
station to catch the train which may
perchance be punctual; the weary wait
on drafty platforms or in stuffy wait
ing rooms; the dilatory journey-all
these, we are told, add seriously to the
labor of the day even in the best of
times, but when the weather is cold
and damp they are still more injurious
and in that they are largely responsible

which are the starting points of most
of the acute diseases from which men
suffer and from which the elderly and
