WEIRD MALADlES
Nomenclature of the Various Dis

II have been loking over one of the

said a citizen who admits that he likes
to pry and prowl, land I was amazed
at the weird diseases which found

WOMEN AS ENUMERAToRS
They Will Do a Large Share OF
Work on Next Census

Women viii be employed both as emu
merators and as clerks in the compile
ton of the census Of 1900, and the bureau
expects that numbers of them will apply
for these places.
''Yet there is danger that they may not
have the opportunity of obtaining the
work for want of the knowledge that
they may hold such places said Mrs.
Lille Devereux Blake at the Political
Equality Club the other day, "as notice
that all of the papers in articles on the
census speak of the employees as men, not
one within my observation making any
statement that women may find useful
and remunerative occupation in this most
suitable service.
women were first employed in this la
Dor in 1880. the rules and regulations being
so drawn that there was no discrimina-
tion on account of sex. As consequence
many women were employed throughout
the country as enumeratorS, and in every
case did good work, one woman in a
western district making record in the
number of names she obtained in a thlnly
settled section.
In 1890 women again found occupation
as clerks and as census takers, though
then, as now, the fact that women were
eligible to these positions was not as
widely known as it should have been.
There are many reasons why this en-
plOyIuenJ IOr women Is most suitable. LII
the first place, as the work only lasts for
few weeks or months and then ceases
absolutely, 1t has always been found diff
ficult to find the best men for a labor
which offers no permanency of support,
while there are many women SO situated
that they are glad to have the oppor-
tunitY to earn a good sum of money in
some occupation which will not take the
whole of their time. The service is not
severe, especially in the large cities,
where the. dwellings, are crowded to-
gether, and a person can work all day in
collecting the names of the inhabitants of
a few blocks. Another point which de-
serves consideration is that the census
,enumerator, as a rule, sees only women in
the homes which must be visited, as the
calls are made during the hours when
men are away on business.
1.-The number of persons who will be
employed in securing the facts for the
census of 1900 reaches up into the tens of
thousands. 1t is to be hoped that many
women will find remuneration for their
labor in this most suitable occupation.

WHAT EAGLE SIGNIFIES
Why 1t Was Chosen as the En-
bIematic Bird of America

In ancient mythology the eagle was
believed to carry the souls of the dying
to their abode on Mount Olympus and
was called the bird of Jove, says the
Detroit Free Press. The eagle was first
taken as symbol of royal power by
the ancient Etruscans, who bore its
image upon their standard. In the year
81 B. C. a silver eagle, with extended
wings, poised on the top of a spear,
with a thunderbolt held in It's claws,
was adopted as the military standard
to be borne at the head of their legions
by the Romans. At the time of Ha-
drian a golden eagle was substituted
for the silver one. A two-headed eagle
was adopted by the Byzantine emper-
ors as a symbol of thei, control of both
the cas-; and the west
The Gouble-headed eagle of Russia
was adopted on the marriage of Ivan
1, with a Grecian princess of the east
err empire. that of Austria was first
used when the emperor of Germany
took the title of Roman emperor. The
national standard of Russia bears a
black eagle, that of Poland a white one.
Napoleon l took a golden eagle for his
standard modelled Of pure gold and
bearing a thunderbolt, after the pattern
of the eagle of the Romans. This
standard was disused under the Bour-
bons, bat was restored by a decree OF
Louis Napoleon in 1852. The eagle was
first used Aon American coins in 1888
on cents and half cents issued from the
Massachusetts mint. 1t was adopted in
the plan of national coinage as 2
design upon all gold coins and on the
silver dollar, half dollar and quarter
dollar. The design of the eagle was al
one ii ale suggested for the nationa
6ag but was abandoned.-Chic
