was that tho health Of the emperor

New Dirsctop Of tho Census Declares For
Civil Service In That Department..
WASHINGTON, March .. Ex-Gov-
ernor Merriam Of Minnesota, the new
director of the census. was busily en-
gagged at the temporary Offices of the
census going over, preliminary matters.
There, was o, host of applicants for
places hut few Of these had personal
interviewA Many applications have
been filed, but it will be impossible to
give them consideration for consider
able period.
Director Merriam has made the an
nouncement that these appointments
must be preceded by an examination.
Referring to the coming census work he
said:
"The general policy of the approach
ing census will be to conduct the insti-
tuition ON the firm and sound principles
that underlie business. First, statisti-
clans will be selected from among the
Best Mon Engaged In That Work
in the country. This will be done only
after due deliberation and consultation
with such men as Commissioner of
Labor Carroll D. Wright, Henry Gan
net and other eminent authorities.
Then the heads of the various bureaus
will be selected after painstaking con-
sideration and they will be men of rec
ognized ability. All Of the sppointees
in the Office will be selected after rigid
examination as to their fitness along the
lines of work in which they will be en-
gagged. The whole plan is to accom-
plish the work as rapidly and expedi-
tiously as possible and not take on an
immense amount of lines of inquiry
which overburden the task and make
the census drag on for long period"

The woman confidently placed the
bacon into one side of the scales while
the man put his fist into the other side,
and, of course, took good care to have
good weight.
While the woman was wrapping the
bacon up the pound weight was found.
and, on seeing it, the man said:
"Nah. you see if my fist don't just

The pound weight was accordingly
