COUNTED BY MACHINERY.
Facts About Each Person VIII De
Tabulated for the Census
By Electricity.

Our first census, made in 1898, showed
the population of the United States to
be 100000, and the count cost Uncle
Sam, who was comparatively poor then,
one cent for each person. 1t is esti-
mated that the twelfth census, to be
made in June, 1900. will'show that our
people number $4,000, 900, and that the
item of clerk hire, in the census bureau
alone, will exceed $5,00O,0O0. Although
the work of enumeration will be COM
pleted by the LIST of July, it will prob
ably be two or even three months later
before the last of the schedules are
received at the census office; for not
only must they all be examined by the
supervisors, but in many cases they will
probably require revision because of
some error or informally. The actual
counting of the people will not be done
until the schedules are turned into the
census Office. The enumerators simply
gather the facts. and the Office force in
Washington does the counting and the
compiling, which is done by electricity.
In 100 days all the facts relating to u.s.
000.0GO people will be tabulated.-Clif-
ford Howard, in Ladies' Home Journal.

ARMORED TRAINS
Generally Improvixed with Steel
Plates or SandbREs for the
Protection Of TrOOps.

Many dispatches from the Transvaal
refer TO the armored trains which are
used to transport troops and passengers
through the district in which military
operations are going on, and inquiry
naturally arises as to what constitutes
a train of that kind
1t is nothing more than a train of
ordinary freight cars which have been
strengthened on the inside with sheets
of metal and pierced with holes through
which rifles and small field pieces may
be used on an attacking party. \ flat
car or gondola, with a heavy piece on
two of artillery, may be part of such
train, and in some instances enough
of the closed cars may be taken away to
allow maxim gun to be placed in po-
sition.
An army officer in speaking Of these
trains said: They are always impro-
vised and fitted up with the material
nearest at hand. This may be railroad
iron, sheets of steel or sandbags. and
sometimes nothing more than heavy
lumber. We used armored trains in
Porto Rico and in the Philippines, and
the trains about which we read as be-
ing used in the Transvaal are probably
in most respects like those improviscd
portable strongholds. There are some
cars. like the new steel cars. which
have advantages as means of transport
tation in country made dangerous by
an enemy. but almost any kind of cars
may be turned into the class now
known as 'armored' at short notice, and
the armoring will depend on the me-
chanical skill of the officer in COM
mandy. Y. Tribune.

Not . Good Likeness,

It is not always easy to recognize the
gentlemen and ladies Of sculpture. ="
No wonder the old lady in the follow
ing story, taken from the Evangelist,
was somewhat in doubt: In the 'monu-
mcnt room of Trinity church is large
marble tablet put up in memory of the
late Bishop Hobart. 1t is bas-relief,
representing the bishop as dying, and
sinking into the arms of an categorical
female figure, probably intended for
the angel of death. Years ago an aged
couple from the country were shown
about the church, and when they
reached the tablet they paused long
before it. At last the dear old lady
spoke. That's good likeness of the
bishop" she said, 'but'-here she re-
garded the angelic parsonage attentive

BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little Benefit Unless It is
DigeSted.

Nearly everyone VIII admit that as
nation we eat too much meat and
too little of vegetables and the
grains.
For business men, Office men and
clerks, and In fact, everyone engaged
in sedentary or indoor occupations,
grains. milk and vegetables are much
more healthful.
Only men engaged in a severe out
door manual labor can live on a
heavy meat diet and continue in
health.
AS n general rule, meat once day
Is sufficient for all classes of men, wo-
men and children, and grains, fruit
and vegetables should constitute the
bulk Of food eaten.
But many of the most nutritious
foods are difficult of digestion and 1t
is of no use to advise brain workers
to cat largely of grains and vegeta-
bles where the digestion is too weak
to assimilate them properly.
II is always best to get the best re-
suits from our food that some simple
and harmless digestive should be taken
gestive organs, and several years eX-
perience have proven Stuart's Dys-
pepsa Tablets to he a very safe, pleas
ant and effective digestive and n rem
cdy which may be taken daily with
the best results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hard
ly be called patent medicine. MS they
do not act on the bowels nor any par
ticular organ but only Oh the food
eaten. They supply what weak stom-
achs, lack, pepsin, diastase and by
stimulating the gastric glands, incrcas-
ed the natural secretion of hydrochlor-
| Is acid.
| People who make a daily practice OF
taking one OF two of Stuarts Dyspep-
sia Tablets after eacn meal are sure
to have perfect digestion> means
perfect health.
There Is no danger Of forming an i'll
furious habit as the tablets contain
absolutely nothing but natural dlge'
tives; cocaine. morphine and similar
drugs have no place in n stomacl
medicine and Stuar's Dyspepsia TAB
let's are certainly the best known and
most popular of all stomach remedies
Ask your druggist for fifty cent
package of Stunrt's Dyspepsia Tablets
and after a weeks use note the I'M
provement in health, appetite ana ner
yous energy.
