KIT OF THE CENSUS TAKER
It Is q Rather Formidable One and
Will Weigh Two Pounds.
What It Contains.

The census enumerator Will soon bs
at your door, following out the instruc-
tions laid down by the commissioner
of census, In order to learn what kind
OF people inhablt the United States.
The enumerator has a task that Is not
the most congenial, and there are con-
nected with his work a great many de-
tails that are not fully appreciated by
the outside world.
The outft Of an enumerator Is rather
q formidable affair. The chief article
Is a portfolio about 1. by 20 inches IN
size when shut. When opened the port
folio forms a lap desk just the size OF
the largest sheet upon which the data
are to be written.
Inside the cover OF the portfolio on
one side IL a full set Of instructions to
the enumerator to help him in doing his
work. On the other side Is descrip-
ton Of the enumerator's territory-in
some cases accompanied by map.
Folded within the portfolio are the
popular schedules" upon which the
popular data will be placed. Upon the
left side Of the sheet are to be placed
the names taken and to the right the
answers to about twenty questions are
to follow. Fifty names can. be placed
on each side OF the sheet, and as 100
will constitute a fair days work, =
single sheet will contain them all.
There are, however. other blanks to
fill. and in some of these difficult work
will be experienced. In all districts
special information will be gathered
concerning physical peculiarities. such
as blindness and deafness. In the
country districts the manufacturing in
dustries are to be made out upon one
sheet and the farming industries upon
another. Each farm Is TO have a sep
arate sheet.
The kit the enumerator will have to
carry will not weigh over two pounds
and can easily be attached to a bicycle,
which many use. With each kit Is a
metallic badge about the size Of a sill
yer dollar. The design Is Of n poised
eagle bearing a shield with the inscrip-
tion, UNITED States Census, 1900"
Two sets Of daily report cards bear
Ing consecutive dates from June 1 TO
the time when the work Is finished.
which is thirty days in the country and
fifteen in the city, are furnished the
enumerators. One Of these reports Is
sent to the supervisor of the district
and the other to the director OF tho
census at Washington.
The daily report cards are to be filled
with the number Of names, farms and
shops, taken during the day and the
number OF hours consumed in the work.
The purpose Of the report is to enable
the supervisor Of the district to keep
watch Of the progress Of the work and
to enable him to call to account or dis
charge the enumerators who are not
doing their duty.

DAVIS WAS WOUNDED.
States That Highwaymen Who
Held Him Up on Capouse Ave-
nue. Fired Upon Him.

According to the story John Davis,
of Pine Brook, tells, desperate high
waymen have been at work on Ca
pouse avenue.
About o'clock yesterday morning
Davis entered the Lackawanna hos
pital and requested treatment for his
right arm, in which there was q revol-
yer cartridge. He claimed to have
been held UP by highwaymen on Ca
pouss avenue, who. after an assault,
fired at him. He was accompanied
by Matthew Latham, formerly one OF
the hospital ordsrlies, who found him
shortly after the accident and took him
to the hospital.
DR.. John w. Busch examined the
man and found that the cartridge had
entered his right forearm. The bone
was not broken, but merely a deep
flesh wound inflicted. The bullet was
removed, after which Davis left for his
home.
He declared that he was walking
along Capouse avenue when two men
suddenly stopped him and demanded
In the style of the proverbial high
wayman "his money or his life"
He struck at one Of the men and
knocked him to the ground. The other
drew a revolver and, firing at him.
struck him in the arm.
He fell to the ground and his two
assailants left him. He was found soon
after by his friend, Latham.
The affair has not been reported to
the police and no arrests have been
made.

ECLIPSE WAS EcLIPsED HERE
Clouds Prevented More Than Briei
Peep at the Phenomenon.

Owing to the heavy clouds this To-
cality was denied anything more than
a peep at the solar eclipse yesterday.
Shortly after 8 o'clock the sun passed
over a clear bit OF blue and for the
brief duration Of this transit thousands
doubtless enjoyed the beautiful and
inspiring spectacle.
pheric conditions prevailed in the belt
of total obscurity. where the country's
greatest astronomers had located them
selves and We are thus enabled TO
make up somewhat for our disappoint-
ment by looking at the phenomenon
through thN' expert eyes with help

NOW IT'S A "RUBBER SALE"
Novel scheme Of the Homo for the
Friendlsss to Mako Money.


Friendlsss to Mako Money.
Ye who have old rubbers to spare,
prepare to spare them now!
Rubber is going UP by big bounds,
and the supply Is nowhere near equal
to the demand. The wide-awake man
ayers Of the Home for the Friendless
saw this and conceived the idea OF
having 1t rebound to the benefit OF
their most deserving institution. Have
the school children gather up all the
old, discarded rubber shoes, boots, hose,
necks or anything like that, bring
them to the school, deposit them with
the janitor and have him turn them
over to some friend or the home who
has a wagon, the time and a will to 60
about collecting the rubber harvest.
The necessary permission was grant
ed by the board of control. and Presi-
dent Jayne, who transmitted the re-
quest from Mrs. Chamberlain, Of the
home management, was directed to tell
the managers they could make what
ever arrangements would best suit
themselves, and begin their rubberina
Just as son as they pleased.
1t is confidently expected that 81, 900
VIII be cleared by the scheme.

BOSTON BAKED BEANS.

How New England Housewives Pre-
pare Their Most Famous Dish.
Or baked beans, the genuine New
England kind, Sallje Joy White writes
at considerable length in Woman's
Home Companion This is the way she
pared:
The best bean to use is the pea
bean, which is the smallest wh.te bean
that is grow. A quart OF beans should
be carefully picked over the night be
fore they are to be used, and all III"
spcrkCd ones removed. Ii the beans
are over year old they may be soaked
over night in cold water, the water
being turned of in the carly molAing
and renewed with fresh water. II the
beans are not a year old they need
not be soaked over night, as they would
grow too SOL, and would break and
become muaLy when cooked, a result
that is to be seduOu5ly avoided. In
the morning. put thcI over the fire in
cold water, and EarboiI them very
slightly. Allow the water to come Just
to boil, then take them Oil, drain
them through a colauder, and pour
cold water over them, rinsing them
thoroughly. This not only riuses all
the water from them in which they
have been boiled, but gives them an
additional firmness. which tends to
prevent their breaking while in the
process OF further cooking. Further
more, the beans win have much more
delicate flavor, and will be less likely
to disagree with a person who has
delicate stomach or a tendency to dys-
pepsia.
Lay thin Slice of fat salt pork

this a small onion; pour in the beans
Have ready a piece of salt pork weigh
Ing about half a pound, the rind scored
every quarter Of an inch, and put It
in the pot with the beans, arranging

The top OF the beans and the rest buried
in them If the pork is very well

that Christian is to edit a daily news
paper for a week as a Christian ought
to do it. When we think Of the emf

ourselves why it is that so many
people have the idea that journalism
is conducted on lower plane than
