The first enumerstor appointed in the
18th Pennsylvania Census District was
William P. Hurst, who, on Monday
afternoon, was handed his commission
by Supervisor Scull, appointing him
enumsrator for the borough Of Somerset.
The commission is handsomely prepared
and reads:
The United States OF America.
To all who shall see these Presents,
Grecting:
Be it known that by the authority vest
ed in me by the Act OF Congress entitled
can Act to provide for taking the
Twelfth and subsequent censuses," sp-
proved March 8. 1899. and reposing full
confidence in the ability, discretion and
integrity Of " illi4m P. Hurst, Of Somer-
set, County OF Somerset, State Of Penn
sylvsnis, do hereby, with the consent
of the Director Of the Census, employ
him a. Enumerator for the enumeration
district comprising Somerset Borough.
And do authorize and empower him
to execute and fulfill the duties OF an
Enumerator, In accordance with law.
This appointment shall terminate, unless
sooner revoked, on the completion Of the
duty for which it is made.
Given under my hand at Somerset on
this 3Oth day Of April. A. D. 1900.

r Il
The utterly untruthful statement cir
Quilted during the recent primary con-
test by Congressman Thropp and few
OF his followers, to the effect that all ap-
pointments OF euumerstors had been
made weeks ago, caused many applicants
for appointment to refrain from return
ing the test blanks sent them and deter-
red others from applying. thus retarding
aud increasing the labors OF the Super-
visor. In several enumeration districts
no applications for appointment have yet
been received, and in others, notably in
Cambria county, the Supervisor has ex-
perisnced great difficulty in procuring
efficient applicants.
To such applicants as are 10 be appoint
ed Supervisor Scull and hia clerk srs
mailing commissions, blanks, etc, a. rap
idly as il can be done. So greatly has the
labor OF the postOffice officials at this
place been increased by the census busi-
ness that the Supervisor has been au-
thorized to name a special postoffice clerk
to attend TO the registered mail connected
with the census business.

SLEEP AS A CURE FOR HUNGER
Starving Peasants of Russia Are Com.
 peiIed to Try the Remedy.

About the beginning of this century a distinguished French philanthropist, A. Joux, advised poor people to sleep as much as possible during the winter months, as only thus would they be able to live with any degree of com fort. This strange theory is now being tested by many persons in Russia, and
 according to 3 report which has been issued, their almost complete absti- hence from food has produced no harmful result, and eveu has from their standpoint proved highly benefi- cial. These people live at Pskow, a tiztHiet south of St. Petersburg, and r ee2z on why they have adopted the Islse ee Of sleeping during the winter Ize5zsis is because for the last few yeasa 5heir crops have been insufficient to provide them with the necessary of the district saw that starvation means of sustenanee. When the elders of the district saw that starvation stared the people in the face they ad- Yfsed them to. make their remaining stock of food last as long as possible, and to go to sleep during the winter
 This suggestion was adopted. The members of each family stretch them selves on cots around the large stove and slumber day and night. Once in the twenty-four hours they get up and refresh themselves with morsel of hard bread baked last autumn and a drink Of water, after which they lie down again and snore calmly. Appar- ently some of the poorest inhabitants of Pskow have been in the habit of hi- bernattng for some years, but the prac- tice did not become general until re- gently, and 1t has now only attracted the attention of philanthropists and of physicians. Medical men in St. Peters burg have decided to investigate the matter closely, as they are especially anxious to obtain answers to two ques- tions: First. does the temperature of persons who remain torpid and who sleep for whole months in this fashion undergo any change? And, second, in what other manner, if any. does this mode of living affect persons physical ly and mentally ?-New York Herald

Strauss Played the Chant.

The teacher who influenced Strauss most was one Joseph Dreshler, the choirmaster of St. Stevens church in Vienna, who tried to get the waitzes out of the boys head and put in thelr place anthems and ehorals. In this undertaking he met with indifferent success, for the worshippers in one of the Vienna churches were startled on a Sunday morning when there poured forth from the organ, filling the gloomy building by it's enchanting notes, a waltz instead of the solemn Gregorian chant to which they were accustomed. It was Johann Strauss, Jr., who had taken the organists place and substi- tuted his own favorite selection for the usual sacred music, much to the dis may of the pious folk and the amuse- ment of the younger people of the con- gregation A. Steiner in the January Woman's Home Companion.

WHERE GOLD GROWS.
Fresh Deposits of the Precious Metal
 Every Year

There are localities where gold may be said to grow every year, or, in other words, where fresh deposits Of the precious metal are to be found annu- ally, says Answers. One such dis trict is in the Edmonton country. in the Canadian northwest, where, after the spring floods from the same banks and benches of the Saskatchewan river, there are taken every year eon~ siderable quantities of gold by few diggers, who make their living out of the business. But the most eonspieu ous and interesting case of this sort is to be seen near Ichang, in the pro- vince of Hupeh, in China. For many centuries past each year gold has been washed from the banks of coarse gray el on both sides of the River Han, and in the midst of the auriferoas district there is an ancient town called Uilxu= tien, which means Gold Diggers' Inn. ," Its inhabitants subdiyide the go1d- bearing ground among themselves an nually stalking out their claims with partitions. They pay no royalty and appear to earn no more than bare subsistence, but this may be doubted, as John Chinaman is an adept at lay in low and sayin noffin'" The an- nual river floods bring down millions of tons of mud and sand, which is charged with gold, both fine" and in flakes, is deposited to depth of six inches or more on the banks of gravel. It is in the winter that the gold is washed and if is said that seven men work about twenty tons of the pay dirt" in day.

THE SPORT OF KINGS.
They Were Too Much for the skipper's
 Sentative of the Tradition.

Hunting used to be called the sport of kings, but not many of the m, ern crowned heads keep lip the old tradi- ton. The Gzar of Russia occasionally assists at battue, but the thing bores him and he goes only out of politenes5. The prince of Wales is very good shot and is fond of shooting, but his big-game days are over. The emperor of Germany hunts and shoots Nod deal but those who know him best say he does not much care for the sport. With him it is matter of tradition. the right thing for royal parsonage to do The king of Portugal, who holds the record for fatness among all the royalties, Is physically disabled from such violent exercise. The king of Sweden never touches gun. The sul- tan of Turl lay cannot bear to see one, says the New York Commercial Adyer- tiser I le king of the Belgians has shot only once in his whole life, and then in very unkingly fashion. He wanted to have the sensation of killing without the trouble of going in search Ol 3O l1G oel1 Ill 4Ais cA LII and potted at lot of rabbits let lose from a bag in front of him. When the smoke cleared away and his majesty called fer his bag he had to be told that all that had been found was one tail and a certain small quantity of fluff. He never went shooting again. The king of Italy is the only real represen- tative of the old kingly tradition. He is a mighty hunter and frequently throws up all the routine work without word of warning, and goes off with one officer Col. Pazzimbol'ni, to spend several weeks in pursuit of the game of all kinds with which the mountains abound. Formerly he established no means of communication with Rome. Neither Queen Margherita nor any Of his ministers ever knew where to find him for weeks at time. He might have lost his throne in a sudden up- heaval and known nothing of 1t till he descended to the plains. Of late, however, he has become wiser. Now a carrier leaves Rome every second day during his expeditions, bringing re- ports of all that happens.
