THE CENSUS.
A Few Observations of the Work as It
Relates to Farms,

The census officers are appointing
their enumerators and by the first of
June the great machine will be at
work prying into our affairs and COM
piling figures enough to stagSer the
old Roman almanac makers. We con-
slider the enabling act a very good one
In general as far as census work is
concerned, but very bad bill in that
1t allows the appointment of enumera-
tors and census employees for reasons
other than strict merit and it looks
now as If a good many hoboes would
secure a job on the shift
The agricultural features ought TO
be comprehensive and liberal. No fed
eral census heretofore has been at all
accurate in its agricultural work. In
deed, it is not too much to say t. mt
the whole Of such work has been a
frightful error Much was claimed for
the accuracy Of the census Of 1890.
but agriculturally 1t is quite unrelia-
BILE. 1t returned the total value of all
agricultural products I'm 1889 as 2,460
millions of dollars. As matter of
fact, the average farm value in De.
cember. 1889, Of six cereals, hay, cot
ton tobacco and potatoes. produced
that year foots up 1926 millions. II is
probable that had all other pro luce
been properly included the census #
1890 would have shown $500 millions
as the value Of the United sTatos farm
products in the census year.
In taking the forthcoming census
each farm in the country should be
considered as unit just as is done
with manufacturing establishments
The plan heretofore OF Jumping five
or ten farms on one schedule is preg-
nant with error. Every enumerator
should deliver schedule to each farm
In his district, explain it to the farmer
and assist him in making 1t out prop
erly. Only in this way can full and
complete data be obtained. The entire
absence of accounts or records on
most farms makes It all the more ne
essary to have schedule for each
place. And since the census will per-
tain only to the crops of 1899, it will
even then require good guess2r to
fill it out correctly The farmers need
not be afraid that these schedules will
be used against them by the tax ass s.
EOrs and it will probably he no more
than Just for the enumerator to add
ten per cent to the returns in or. 'er
to cover lapses Of memory and dis
crepancies in valuations. = Denver

GOOSE HUNTING.
How the Gunners Go About It Along
chesapeake Shores.

There is fine wild goose hunting
at Sharp's Island, Maryland Messrs
John d. Sinclair and ]. Il. higgins. re-
Gently spent two nights there and
made good bag of geese and swans.
Others have done as we'll Tender
feet could not stand the cold, but the
veteran goose hunter does not mind
zero weather.
A blind in the form of pit is made
in the sand on shore near where the
geese and swans are known to rest
and feed. White wooden blankets are
spread in and around the blind to
make it comfortable, and corn is
strewn within thirty yards of it, At
ter nightfall the hunters hide them
selves in the pit, strapping up in white
blankets which cannot be detected
from the white sand of the beach by
the water fowl Absolute silence is
maintained.
From far out on the bay comes the
familiar "honk, honk" of the incoming
flock, and the hunters get down low
in the pit. The geese alight near the
beach and soon are in shallow feed
ing water. The watch geese" which
is always a gandeT, and which never
seems to eat or sleep, makes a recon
noissance in advance of the flock and
finds the corn. If, after a close in
spection of the surroundings, he is sat
isied of safety, he calls the flock. and
1t eagerly responds. The geese, loom
ing up in the night. look as big as os-
triches from the blind. When within
range the signal to fire is given in
pantomime by the leader of the hunt
ers. and something happens When the
big No. guns boom.
Some geese are killed outright,
others are wounded so they cannot fly,
and those unhurt take to instant
flight. AS they rise another volley is
poured into the flock. The dead and
wounded birds are retrieved by train
ed Chesapeake Bay dogs, if the hunt
ers have them, otherwise by the hunt
ers themselves, who rush into the icy
water, pursuing first the wounded
fowls and afterwards picking up the
dead ones. This ends the shooting
from the blind that night.
At times there is cold, tiresome.

guns are used with the best ammuni-
ton. The shells are loaded with six
or seven brahms OF powder and from
two to three ounces of B. B. chilled

SEAGoING WHISkEY.
Reasons for Sending 1t Twice Across
the Ocean Before Marketing.


Large shipments of whiskey in bond
will be made from Baltimore to Euro
pean ports within the next month or
two A shipment of 1,500 barrels is
nearly ready for export and about
1000 barrels more will soon be ready.
While some of the whiskey will be
sent by Baltimore owners, the most
of it will be from Cincinnati and other
western cities. After being kept in
European warehouses for six months
or a year, the greater part will then
be brought back to this country for
sale.
The whiskey to be sent out is of the
1891 and 1892 distillation, which must
be taken out of the bonded ware
houses before the eight-year limit has
expired. Whiskey may be stored in
bonded warehouse eight years with
out being subject to the internal rev.
enue tax of $1.10 gallon. At the ex-
piration of eight years it must be
taken out. Rather than pay the tax
and lose the use of the money until
the sale of the goods, some owenrs
prefer to ship their surplus stock to
the other side and store them there
until needed, claiming that the cost
of freight both ways and the storage
In Europe will be less than meeting
internal revenue requirements at
time when there is no demand for the
goods. The tax is only required to be
paid when whiskey is put on the mar
ket for consumption, as that goods
shipped to Europe in bond are not
taxed. They are brought back as re-
quired by the demand of the market
here, GOods remaining in this coun-
tr,ouf bond are supposed to be on
tLtna -kket.
This method is pursued by dealers
and distillers who overload them
selves. The output in 1892 was heav-
Ter than the demand, and it is part Of
the surplus which is now going to Eu-
rope to await the time when it must
be brought back to be placed on the
market.-Baltimore Sun.

THE HANDY WOMAN.
,,ow She Makes Herself Useful On
All Occasions,


A new activity for the American
working woman has been developed.
This time it is the handy woman
There is no limit to the things she
can do, from decorating a dinner TIA
bic 10 mending clothes and darning
stockings. Whatever needs to be done
She can do, and she is always ready
for work.
Women send to her at the eleventh
hour, and it is rarely indeed that she
fails them. On one occasion she was
wired for at noon to find a poor little
woman almost in tears intending to
give dinner party that evening and
finding five or six Of her most necss-
sary china and glass table decorations
broken.
There was no COED china shep with.
In reach, and the unfortunate hostess
was contemplating the dismal failure
OF her festivity. But the handy woman
had her wits about her. Searching the
depleted china closet she found
enough to make an artistic arrange.

ware is famous
On the four corners Of the table
were four small bowls to match.
These FIVE pieces were filed with

AUsTRlA's NEW MONEY.
New Coins, New Denominations, But
Still the Silver Standard.

A new currency has been introduced
Into Austria Hungary. The Austrian
form has disappeared. and with it al
so the kreuZer, of which there We're
100 in form. The new unit is called
the krone (crownl, and it equals half
q form. One crown contains 100 he'll
Ter, and the latter, therefore, equals
half a kreuzer.
1t must be remarked, however, that
the Introduction of the new currency
does not yet mean the establishing of
the intended gold standard, but is on
~ preparatory step toward it. The
transition to the gold standard is not
expected to be affected before two or
three years have passed. So far, there
fore, a crown means nominally silver
money.
After the introda of the gold
standard one crown will equal If. SC,
the slight difference having been
made to prevent the leakage of gold
from the country.
The new currency, whatever its 9TH
er merits, does not seem to tend to
simplicity. AS crown piece or
''krone," having the value of half
form, is to take the place of the flor
In, and the new half-flerin piece is
to consist of 100 heller instead of so
kreuzer the gain is not very apparent.
1t is pretty much as If we were to
abolish the shilling, with its I'D, as a
unit, and substitute a siXpence with
twelve halfpence. The traveller and
tourist In Austria Hungary will have
to count In heller and "kroner" hence
forth instead Of "kreuzer'' and guild
en-" having twice the value. The new
krone will not be equivalent either to
the French franc on the one hand or
to the German mark on the other So
that there is no tendency to simplicity
or to equalization Of values. The intro
duction of the new currency is intend
ed to facilitate the establishment of
gold standard in Austria Hungary.
