and the officer, and insure more ac-
curate returns to the Government.
l3. The twentieth century will be-
gin on January l, 1901. Therefore,
the pending census will afford to
future generations a measure OF the
strength and condition OF the United
States at the threshold of the new
hundred year cycle. For that reason
everyone should take an active in
terest in making it as nearly perfect
as possible. If each farmer will
make his own report perfect, the ag-
gregated report for every commu
nity, and for the nation, will lie per-
feet.

Doctors Can't
Cure It!

Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid of the disease; on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. S. S. S. is the only cure
for this terrible affliction, because it is
the only remedy which goes direct to
the cause of the disease and forces it
from the system.

RED HAIR THE VOGUE.
Parisians Dye Their Tsesses 10 Suit
Their Style.


In Paris it is more and more the
custom TO dye the hair, or. in the
polite vernacular of the Parisians,
"tint it," There is scarcely a French
actress whose hair is ros some shade
Of red, mahogany, golden brown.
bronze or russell One woman told
an inquirer the secret of her hair,
which was most beautiful russet,
waving and soft, as well as brilliant.
1t did not bear trace OF dye. A
Turkish lady from Constantinop.e for
some favor received gave her large
package of powder. One tablespoon
full of this powder put in oil and al
cohol applied lightly to the hair pro
duced the effect, the oil preventing
the harsh. dry appearance all dyes
give The mixture actually increased
the growth of the hair. but unfortu-
nately no one knows what it is, for
the Turkish lady vanished.
There are four colors the woman
who has dyed Rnr hair red should
strictly adhere to-white, black, blue
and gray. There is in Paris an auto
crat who charges terrific prices, to
whom women so when they want an
opinion as to what color they shall
tint their hair. He talks with them
for an hour, studies them In his
Louis XIV. drawing-room which has
no suggestion of hair dressing, re-
CARDS their eyes and set of the feat
ures, inquiries what color predomi-
mates in the toilets selected Jy mad
anne for the season and sends the in
quirer away. In day or so she re-
ceives water color sketch of how
she will look with tiny curl of red
hair, the shade he has decided best
suits her, pinned to the corner. She
goes to the hair-dresser the artistic
adviser employs, and presto, the
change is made.
For the house hair is worn very
high or very low, and the beautiful
parting which men admire so much
is done away with, the pompadour
effect, with puffs and curls, taking It's
place. The parting is left for very
old ladies and school girls. All kinds
of jeweled ornaments are worn in the
hair.

Hawaiian SUGAR Plantations.

Discussing the labor question in
Hawaii the Honolulu Republican says:
"The greatest curse in many ways
that this territory has to contend with
today is the large land holdings. Di-
vide the plantations into small tracts
and give these tracts over to the cul-
tivation OF American farmers, who will
come here with their families, afford
ing them an opportunity to share in
the profits OF the soil. and Hawaii will
progress as never before Not only
that, but by taking such a course the
sugar planters will be insuring them
selves against the future. With the
growth of beet sugar cultivation on
the mainland sugar will take q drop
ere many years, where the cultivation
of cane sugar, excepting under the
most favorable conditions, will be UNI
profitable. Until the advances in the
price Of sugar OF the last year sugar
cultivation in the British West Indies
had grown Improbable and there was
much unrest because the planters
were financially embarrassed. The
beet sugar Of France and Germany
had crowded out the cane prodLsticn
OF the West Indies from the European
while the tariff shut it out
from the United States"

TWO cARIsou AT ONE SHOT.
Entire Herd of Six Were Dropped by
this Hunter.

tUiS fluntSTs
Two caribou at one shot is the kind
OF a story to which the uninitiated
would give the smile audible, and
which would be pretty hard for the
expert hunter and story-teller to beat.
But is true nevertheless, and the man
who fired the shot and bagged the
two caribou is Walter +. SWEET, a
Maine guide, now in New Bedford on
. visit to Michael Shea.

twenty rods from the place where

That's pretty unusual thing,
killing two caribou at one shot. al
though you often hear of a mans
getting two deer that way; but must
say that one of the guides knew told
me story that beat this one. He
said he was out one day when he
struck herd of nine caribou standing
on the ice. He only intended to shoot
one Of them-that was all he wanted

fired. He was pretty sure he had

to be wounded and walked away
until he was hid frcm view behind
bunch of trees. My friend had
magazine rifle, holding nine cartridges,
so he didn't lose any time in firing at
the next one. Strange to say, he APP
parently missed this time, and the
caribou walked away just like the first
one. Then he tried for the third, and
so on up to the ninth and last one.
Each time he seemed TO miss and each
time the caribou disappeared behind
the trees. Thinking there was some
thing funny about it he went out to
look and-well, he found the whole
nine of them stretched out on the ice

PROUD OF HIS FAMILY.
Lord Roberts Is Greatly Devoted to
His Wife and Mourns His Son.

His Wife and Mourns His Son.
AS husband and father Lord Rob-
erts, or "Bobs" as the soldiers and peo-
pie generally are wont to call him, is
a model in every respect. Ii common
report is to be believed, the most pre-
feet sympathy has existed between
Lord and Lady Roberts since they
were married Al years ago, and Lady
Roberts, herself the daughter of SOL
der, has always been able to associate
herself with the chief interest in life
of her husband Her work in India in
the cause of the soldiers wives will
long be remembered by the English,
and among her own sex she is as much
beloved as Lord Roberts is by men,
says London paper.
The death of their son at Colenso
came all the more severely to Lord and
Lady Roberts, as they we're singular
ly affectionate and united family. The
greatest affection existed between the
distinguished father and his promising
son. Lord Roberts was most anxious
that his son would achieve distinction
in the same profession, and his
valuable experience and sympathy
were always at his sons service.
"Bobs" was very proud of his sons
prowess in the saddle. At race meet
ing some time ago in Ireland Roberts
rode clean away from the field and
won by dozen lengths. my son
must not be encouraged to ride; sol
dier has to keep all his abilities in the
service" said Lord Roberts, and then

HIS vERAclTY GOT A BEER.
There Was no Deception About the
Thirsty Old Fellow.

On one of the hot afternoons last
week tall, gaunt figure, with un.
kept hair and seedy of clothes, was
seen slowly wandering through
Thirty-6fth street, near Eightieth
avenue The small boys Immediately
recognized in him a good subject for
ridicule and followed at his heels
growing like a lot of dogs. The
seedy gentleman took the matter good
naturedly, however, and the boys
soon ceased their taunts and smiled
with him. Presently the old man
sat down on the tail end of truck,
and, wiping the perspiration from his
forehead with the back of his hand,
began to hold forth on the heat.
Gosh! it's hot. How I do hate
summer. 1t seems to me when l
was a boy up on the farm we never
had such heat as this | tell you, my
friends, the poets don't know what
they are talking about when they
write of the beautiful summer. Do
you call this beautiful? Look around
you. See the dirty children, the dirty
streets; smell the smells and tell me
if there is anything beautiful here, In
the city summer brings forth every
thing that is dirty, mean and vulgar.
Winter covers it up with it's mantle
of snow, and | think the man who
wrote Beautiful Snow knew what ne
was talking about. Perhaps he lived
in the tenement district during the
dog days, and feel just as If
could write of beautiful snow, too"

Money in cocoanuts.

The cocoanut industry is a very
prosperous one, for it has resulted in
the making of tremendous fortunes. a
cocoanut tree yields fruit within five
years after planting and then bears
uninterruptedly for over a century.
Those engaged in shipping the copra
to Europe pay 81 per year for the
fruit from single tree. The trees,
once started. need no further con-
sideration. Ten thousand trees cover
a comparatively small space, as there
are no branches The trees invariably
grow best in what is for all other
the poorest soil.--Leslie's

WHAT THE NATIONS SMOKE.
Tastes Of Leading Peoples in the Way
of Tobacco.


We frequently hear circumstances
against the smoking public of England.
Only a short time ago a vigorous pro-
test was entered by non-smokers
against those who wished to enjoy an
after-dinner cigar.
Let the anti-tobacconist congratu-
late himself that he lives in England,
for IL he follows this article he will
see that among the important nations
OF Europe Great Britain is one OF the
smallest consumers of tobacco.
To our taste the tobacco of the con.
tinent is vile. Our sympathies are en-
tirely with the Russians, who consume
less Of this villainous preparation than
the people Of any other European ma.
ton. The people OF Russia number,
roughly, i03, 100000, and they only
consume about 100000 pounds Of
the fragrant Tor noxious) weed per
annum, which amounts to 20 ounces
per Individual.
Germany, however, has always had
the reputation OF being the home OF
smokers, end yet 1t comes third in
the list Of smoking countries The
population Of the German empire at
the last census was returned at 81
100000, and in the year they consume
77,267 tons Of tobacco. This amounts
to about fifty-three ounces per inhab-
liant.
Austria boasts of 81 100000 people
as its population, and between them
they manage to get through little
over hundred and eight million
pounds Of tobacco year. Each Aus.
trian, therefore, would be able to have

subterfuge rever materiaIized, it is
quite needless to say.
lhea Chang came to the conclusion
that the wives o. the soldiers hampered
operations as camp followers. and his
solution Of the problem was in keepins
with his other atrocities. There would

pie, Chang ordered out 500 of his per-
sonal concubines and had all but 20 OF
them killed before his men. OF course
the soldiery could but follow this ex.
ample, with the result that the head OF
every woman in the camp vas at once
sliced off,
Having killed every human being on
his line of march, Chang destroyed all
cities, their houses ard palaces. These
and forests he burned that they might
profit no man." Then he marched to
meet and give battle TO the Tartars. AS
he went on all sick. wounded or weak

At the first meeting OF the two ar
