Every body's Magazine for April
presents a very attractive appear
ance, and its contents are of espec-
ial value and interest. The second
article in the series, "Great Anieri-
can Industries treats of the enor-
nous steel works of the Carnegie
Company near Pittsburg, Pa, and
explains in a bright and interesting
fashion in what manner this com.
papy will make this year profits
exceeding S4O,OOO,O00. The fourth
in the series of "Simple EXplana-
tions, takes up a fascinating sub
iect, and one which has undoubtedly
been a mystery to nine tenths of
the magazine readers; that is, the
method of navigating a ship by OBJ
servation of the sun and stars.
For a difficult mathematical sub
ject, this method is explained in a
singularly lucid fashion, and ap-
pears to be very simple after all.
A very strong article is that on
"Our Coast Defenses, which de-
scribes the manufacture, emplace-
ment and use of the huge disap-
pearing guns, the mortar batteries
and coast defenses in general which
are now being pushed to completion
on both Atlantic and Pacific sea-
boats The article attacks the
subject evidently from the inside,
and many facts are given which
have not heretofore been published.
The illustrations for this are par
ticuarly new and interesting.
The short stories are especially
good, The leading story is Nthe
"White Rose Mystery, a fascinat-
ing tale, and six or eight other sto-
ries and four or FIVE special articles.

for the government would issue a new
post check as soon as the paid one
reached the treasury.
1t costs the government now an aver
age of 100000 year TO issue postal
money orders; this for commissions
and fees entirely. Under general
adoption of the pOst-check system the
government would not only save this
large amount, or at least a great part
OF it, but it would have the additional
which would be fixed to every post
check. The aggregate amount of bus
| mess shown by domestic money orders
Is S21l, 213,5 year. and this is
! conservatively estimated to be not
more than one-ffth of the amount OF
money passing through the mails in
small sums represented by postage
stamps, coin, paper money and small
checks upon which the government col
lects no fee. These methods are upsat-
isfactory and unsafe to the sender and
often annoying to the receiver. They
are employed not from choice, but from
necessity, because no safe and conven-
lent method exists.
With the post-check system in the
hands of the public it is altogether
probable that the great bulk of this
immense sum would be transmitted by
post checks, and while the fee on each
remittance would be much less than the
present money order requires-a saw
ing to the people-the total fees on the
total amount of small mail rem. Lances
would yield the government a large in
crease in present revenue, besides saw
ing all or a great part of the $500, 900
cow paid in commissions.
Looked at from almost any view
point, the post-check system, credit for
the suggestion of which must be given
c. w. Post of Battle Creek, Mich,
would seem to be thing most desir-
able. The Association of American
Advertisers has taken the matter up
and is advocating it with energy. Nv
cry newspaper, magazine, business man
and farmer in the country should be
interested in it, and those are asked to
write their senators and congressman

funny part of it is that the richer the

I, when I am going to wear it? And
now you want to charge me S56 for it,
when l only paid $4S for it in Paris?
That's the kind of patriotic eager
ness to pay the duties I've run against.
Why, in the first two weeks of Ding
leyism l had at least thirty women
threaten to have me fired, and I'll bet
my hat that at the same time every
one of them got something through
that should have paid duty. These
women seem to think that the custom
house inspector is to blame for the
tariff law, and they hold him person
ally responsible for their troubles.

No man familiar with the work of
the custom house men doubts for
moment that there is more smuggling
going on now by supposedly honest
people than ever before, simply be-
cause the supposedly honest person
runs no risk whatever of being hauled
to court and fined, or Of losing the
valuables. Professed ignorance of
Dingley and his tariff explains every
thing. But a professional il the
smuggling line come along, and moth
ing saves him. The professional,
however, is a rare animal The treas
ury department agents on the other
side of the pond are so numerous and
expert that they know to dot just
what Mr.. and Mrs. Professional has
taken on board the steamer. and
cable dispatch warns the inspectors on
the other side. The professional
knows this better than any one else; |
consequently, there are mighty few of
this kind.

mental and physical degeneracy is

with copious draughts of sickening
brown mush called coffee.

SECRECY THE RULE.
Census Enumerators Not Allowed to
Disclose Census Information.

In taking either city, state or ma
Llonal censuses heretofore, people
have refused to answer interrogations.
Many aggravating and costly delays,
therefore, are caused to the enumera-
tor, who works on the per capita sys-
TEN. Census Supervisor Turner is.
consequently, very anxious that peo-
pie should understand the rules under
Wllch his enumerators will count.
All information obtained by the
enumerators must be held inviolablv
secret. Conviction Of communicating
such information is punishable by a
line not exceeding $500. Each en-
ploye is cautioned to inform the per-
son questioned Of this fact, and if the
information is withheld, the enumera-
tor must report the case to the SUPER
VISOR. The enumeratOr is not per-
mitted to retain copies Of his sched-
ules or to show the originals to any
one, nor may he even divulge the total
population of his district after COM
pIetIng the canvass. Further, he is
not permitted to combine any other
business with his census work. To
facilitate his work. the enumerator is
entitled to free use of mails and the
telegraph wires in communication
with his supervisor.
For the enumeration who has once
entered the work there is no turning
back. After having been duly quail
led he cannot, unless for cause con-
sldered Justifable, be excused from
the performance Of his duties. Deser-
ton may be punished by a fine of $500.
