, Advertise Your Business,

A Kansas farmer has erected sign
board at his gate Mt the roadside on
which is painted his name and the
name of his farm, and below 1t is. a
blackboard on which he writes list
of what he may have to sell. He says
he has sold in short time two cows
and calves to persons who were attract
ed by his sign, and he considers the
plan success. 1t is an excellent idea,
so far us local trade is concerned, and
when one has more to sell than there is
likely to be demand for ut home, let
him put his sign in the columns of a
good newspaper which is likely to reach
the class who will want to buy. If one
wants to buy or sell, there is nothing
gained by keeping 1t private.

In seeding down a lawn in the fall
winter wheat may be sown with the
grass seed, and 1t will not only prevent
the soil from washing, but give the
ground beautiful fresh green sward
early in the spring, which may be kept
clipped, but will remain until the grass
is well grown among 1t. The wheat will
keep down the weeds, and the change
from the green of the wheat to that Of
the grass will be SO gradual as to be
scarcely noticeable. The sward will be
firm and even If the work is well done,
without holes or gullies. If the lawn is
not made until spring oats or spring rye
may do as well, though we prefer the
oats. These methods are much prac-
ticed by the gardeners around Wash
ington and in the parks of some other
cities, to save the trouble and expense
of sodding large areas.

Great Britain is preparing for the
census Of 1901, which will virtually be
taken in single day, and is expected
to show population of about forty-one
millions in Great Britain and Ireland.
During the last week in March next,
the enumerators will distribute sched-
ules to heads of families and institu-
tons, and upon these blanks the house
holder himself must enter the name of
every person who sleeps in his house on
the night Of Sunday, March 81. Then
on the following day the enumerator
will collect the schedules. By our sys-
TEN the enumeration, who personally in
terviews the householder and writes
down the facts given by him, Is allowed
two weeks to canvass city district,
and month for country district.
Each method has its advantages. The
British plan is likely to be more exact
as to the population; but 1t is doubtful
II 1t would be successful If answers
were required to as many inquiries as
are made by the American census re-
garding each person.

One of the most startling phenomena
Of the time, says a writer in the London
Outlook, is the great decrease in the
number Of children attending Sunday
schools. A safe estimate shows a fall
ing of Of $4,000 scholars in one year,
The shrinkage is not more marked In
one body than in another. The Church
Of England equally with the other Prot
estant churches has to lament a loss.
and the loss is greater in reality than
the mere numbers show, for the popu-
lation naturally increases every year.
and the increase ought to contribute Its
ever-growing quota to the Sunday
school. That 1t fails to do SO suggests
an Inquiry probably of greater moment
than many social questions that make
much noise in the world, Why should
the Sunday schools have ceased to at
tract? The most obvious answer is that
the days Of what was practically COM
pulsory attendance are over. That
means, of course, that the churches are
losing some of their moral hold upon
the parents. The inference seems to
agree with the facts. In ceasing to be
dogmatic and to WELD pains and penal
ues, social and eternal, the churches
have laid aside one weapon without at
tempting to replace 1t by another.

The prominence of the United States

The prominence Of the United States
In the work of collecting statistics is
pretty generally admitted. Our, CEN
sus-taklng methods are the subject of
study all over the world. Japan has
two representatives daily at the census
bureau and China one, while attaches
of the European embassies are frequent
visitors. The census of the United
States is sometimes criticised for Its
slowness, but the methods are pains.
taking and thorough and statistics are
collected on many topics that are ig-
nored by the European governments.
For instance, the statistics of manu-
features are nowhere SO thorough and
excite admiration in every quar-
ter. Aside from these the United
States has won rank as gatherer of
world statistics. The first and best stat
istics as to the consumption and pro-
duction Of gold and silver are those
prepared by the director of the mint of
the United States. The Engineering
and Mining Journal is the first to an
nounce the worlds production of all
metals each year The weak point in
American statistics is in those dealing
with municipalities. The lack of uni
formity makes it difficult to compile
these with satisfactory result. OF late
a movement has arisen in favor of
such uniformity and it is to be hoped
that it will spread, for no class of stat
.istics is of greater Importance.
