CENSUS OF THE WoRLD.-An effort
is now being made TO have census
taken of the population of the earth,
that we may have something approx
mating definite information on that
subject.
This is not an easy thing to do, for
much of the earth is as yet but little
known, and much of it that is known
under such government as to make the
collection of statistics of any kind a
difficult matter, and therefore if this
universal census be taken the most it
can do is to approximate the figures,
and make them less a matter of mere
speculation than they now are, says
the Wilmington Star. Estimates of
the population now range between l.
5OO,OOO,OOO and l,7OO,OOO,OOO, subdi-
vided as follows: The British empire,
including its possessions in Africa,
45O,OOO,OOO; China comes next and
Russia third. Religiously they are di.
vided into Christians, 44S, 900, 900 4;
nor. Christians, 1,OO5, 100000; and de-
nominationally into Protestants, 137,-
100000; Roman Catholics, 226,OOO,-
600; Greek, Armenian and Ahyssin-
ian churches, 95,OOO,OOO. The non
Christians are divided into Budhists

WILL REORGANIzE ROUGH RIDERS.
Teddy's Boys Will Go to the Philippines
to Lick Aguinaldo.

to Lick Aguinaldo.
NEW YORK, July 14.-Governor
Roosevelt yesterday directed Captain
Willis Murphy, who served under him
at San Juan, to proceed to the Indian
Territory, New Mexico and Arizona,
and rally in his name Rough Rider,
Jr., regiment, including as many as
possible of the original Rough Riders,
for service in crushing Aguiualdo.
Captain Murphy visited the governor
by appointment at Oyster Bay. He
met Governor and Mrs. Roosevelt out
driving. Roosevelt caught sight of the
captain and shouted, "Hello, old man.
You will find your horse in my stable.
Saddle him and catch u.s." Then,
while driving and riding, and later at
the Roosevelt country home, the two
fixed up the plan for the resurrection
of the Rough Riders.
Captain Murphy reached the Hoff.
man house from Oyster Bay last even
ing. "Yes," said he, 81 had talk
with the governor today about getting
as many of the boys together as I can
for cavalry regiment. / assume we
shall be as unfortunate as we were at
Santiago in regard TO horses, but the
boys can fight on foot in the Philip
pines, l guess.
~ shall proceed very soon to the
Indian Territory and raise troop.
Our regiment will ultimately, pre-
sumo, number over 1900. Just how
many of the original Rough Riders
will re-enlist, l cannot estimate; but
the governor is so popular among the
boys that a word from him would
send them anywhere. / cannot tell
YOU who is TO command the new regi-
ment.
"How 1 wish Our Teddy could 90
with us. am southern Democrat ;
but like the rest of the boys, think far
more of him than we do of ourselves. "
"Then Colonel Roosevelt will not
command you?"
"Much to my regret, he will not"
Captain Murphy took the stump for
Roosevelt in the gubernatorial canvass
of 1898 and says he hopes to do so
again in the presidential campaign of
1904.
A large number of Torrey's Rough
Riders, who started for the front in the
war with Spain but failed to see
active service, are said to have volun.
teered to fill the ranks of Roosevelrs
Rough Riders. Captain Murphy and
other officers will probably enlist them
in the far west. Besides this regiment,
it is understood that two other regi-
ments of Rough Riders will be organ
lied for Philippine service.
The captain will be in town several
days to receive offers of re-enlistment
from New Yorkers who served with
Roosevelt in Cuba.

cut, however, was across the left wrist.
This cut servered the radical artery,

Mr.. Craig, who ran up and gripped
the Negroes wrist so tightly above the
cut as TO stop the bleeding, the Negro
would have bled to death. Mr.. Craig
carried him to his house, never re-

LEMoNs.-We know in a dull sort of
way that lemons are useful, and if we
did not, might easily find this out by
looking over the papers. But just
how valuable they are few of us real
ize. They are of great medicinal val
ue, and are put upin bottles and boxes
for the benefit (?) of the human family.
A teaspoonful of lemon juice in
small cup of black coffee will drive
away an attack of bilious headache,
but it is better to use them freely and
80 avoid the attack of headache. A
slice of lemon rubbed on the temples
and back of the neck is also good for
headache. These facts help in beauti.
flying one, for one can't be beautiful
and ailing at the same time. The days
are past when the delicate woman
with "nerves" was the heroine of all
the novels and the "clinging vine"
supposed to be admired by all men.
Lemons taken externally, or rather,
used, will aid in beautifying any one.
There is nothing more valuable for the
toilet table than a solution of lemon
juice, little rubbed on the hands, face
and neck at night will not only whiten
but soften the skin. A paste made of
magnesia and lemon juice, applied to
the face and hands upon lying down
for Is minutes rest, will bleach the
skin beautifully.
For discolored or stained finger
nails, teaspoonful of lemon juice in
a cup of warm, soft water is invalua-
BILE; this is one of the best manicure
acids. 1t will loosen the cuticle from

thing that will remove tartar. 1t will
also sweeten the breath.-Louisville

CONSUMPTION PRECAUTIoNs.-The
conviction that tuberculosis of the
lungs is distinctly Infectious continues
to gain ground, and the life insurance
companies inquire particularly of pros
pective insurers with doubtful fami-
ly history behind them, as to whether
they have lived in apartments with pa
tients suffering from that disease or
where they have been.
AS the infection comes through the
sputum, too much care can not be
taken to dispose of it as rapidly and
effectively as possible. When hand
kerchiefs are used they should be i'm
mersed in a disinfecting solution be-
fore going in with the family wash
but a much better plan is to use ia
panese napkins or old, soft cloths,
that may be burned at once. The
rooms occupied by consumptive, and
the furniture and bedding used, should
also be as thoroughly and carfully dis
Infected as for case of smallpox.

A MISTAKE WAS MADE.-A young
lady gave "her young man" beauti-

acknowled the present by sending her
his picture encased in handsome
frame. He wrote note to send with
it. and at the same time replied angri-
ly to an oft-repeated dun for an un-
paid for suit of clothes. He gave a
boy 10 cents to deliver the package
and notes, giving explicit directions as
to the destination of each. 1t was a
boy with freckled face, and he dis
charged his errand in manner that
should give him niche in the temple
of fame. The young lady received
the note in her adored ones hand
writing, and flew to her room to de-
YOUR its contents. She opened the
missive with eagerness and read: "1'm
getting tired Of your everlasting atten'
tions. The suit is about worn out al
ready. 1t never amounted to much
ANYWAY. Please 90 to thunder" "
And the tailor was struck utterly dumb
when he opened a parcel and discover

PRIDE AND THE FALL.-Mr. John
Morrison, a successful commercial trav-
eler, has spent great part of his ca
reer in hotels, and one of his theories
has been that the mind can be so train
ed that hotel fire ought not to dis
tract the reasoning faculties when pres
ence of mind is needed. He impress
ed his theory strongly upon Mrs. Nor
rison by instructing her how to act if
they were ever in hotel that was on
fire.
He and his wife were aroused from
their slumbers one night by an alarm.
The hotel in which they had their
rooms was on fire, and there was great
confusion and tumult among the
guests.
"Now is the time to put into practice
what 1 have always preached to you,
nv dear" said the gentleman. Don't
get excited. Put on all your indispen-
sable apparel and take your time.
Don't lose your head. Just watch me" !"
He calmed Mrs. Morrison's anxiety,
handed her the articles necessary 10
her toilet, put on his collar and cuffs,
took his watch from under his pillow
and placed it in his pocket, put on his
hat, and walked with Mrs. Morrison
out of the burning building into the
street.
"Now, my DEAR" he said, when they
were safe. "Don't you see what a
grand thing it is to keep cool, and act
with deliberate purpose in an emer-
gency like this? Here you are dressed
and over yonder are several ladies in
complete deshabille.
Just then Mrs. Morrison for the first
time glanced at her husband.
"You are right, John," she said, ut
is grand thing to keep cool and act
deliberately, but if I had been you l
would have stayed in the room long
enough to put on my trousers"

A SIMPLE D1sINFECTANT.-For the
sick room a pleasant disinfectant is
made by putting in a saucer some
freshly.ground coffee and lighting a
piece of camphor gum on top of it. AS
this gum burns it emits the odor OF
roasting coffee, an aroma, that is
agreeable to most people. This per-
fume has the advantage of being
healthful, and is to be preferred to
the pastiles and incense powders,
which to some are very sickening.
The odor of the coffee will counteract
any bad aroma in the room and the
fumes of the camphor will kill ordina-
ry disease germs that may be floating
around.
