can majority of the ways and means
committee of the House OF Representa-
tives has concluded as reported Tues
day night, that Puerto Rico should not
be given free trade with the rest OF the
United states-the members Of that
majority have listened more attentive
ly to the pleadings Of few selfish In
terests In Connecticut, Louisiana and
elsewhere, than to the suggestions Of a
broad policy which considers only the
good OF the American Republic as a
whole. They have also thrust aside the
contention that. In legislating for our

people should be the first consideration.

Interesting Facts About the Census

The first really valuable Census of
Agriculture in the United States was
taken in 1850, of the crops of 1S49. The
next enumeration of Agriculture will
be taken in June, 1900, of the products
of 1899.
Instead of recording several farms
on one schedule in the Twelfth Census,
as heretofore, each farm will be ac-
corded separate blank, the entries on
which will not be known to any save
sworn officers of the Department. No
names will be published in connection
with information secured from the
people.
Tax assessors, collectors, and equal
izers can not serve as enumerators, or
have access to the Census returns, or
to the information therein contained
There are more than 5000, 900 farms,
plantations, ranches, stock ranges, and
market gardens in the United States.
The enumerator will ask for the size
and value of each farm, the value of
buildings, and the aggregate value of
all machinery, implements, vehicles,
harnesses, etc, used thereon; and the
amount of land owned and leased, re-
spectively, by said occupant.
He will also ask for the acreage and
value Of each crop, and the acreage OF
improved, unimproved, and irrigated
| lands.
The designation teach crop" in
cludes all grains, cotton, corn, rice,
sugar cane, sugar beets, sorghum, hay,
clover, wild grasses, gathered forage,
fax, hemp, hops, peanuts, tobacco,
seeds, nuts, tropical fruits, small fruits,
orchard fruits, nursery and greenhouse
stock, broom corn, Irish potatoes,
sweet potatoes and yams, all vegeta-
bles, including the product of all fam
lily, truck, and market gardens, etc.
also new or unusual crops, when found.
The enumerator will ask for the NUM-
ber and value OF the live stock on the
farm June /, 1900, which will be re-
ported under a number of heads, such
as horses, colts, mules, asses, COWS,
heifers, steers, calves, bulls, ewes,
rams, lambs, swine, goats, chickens
(including guinea fowl, turkeys, geese,
ducks, bees, etc.
lie will also ask for the quantity and
value of milk, cream, butter, cheese,
raisins, prunes, molasses, syrup, sugar,
eggs, beeswax, honey, wool, wine,
cider, vinegar, dried AID evaporated
fruits, forest products, poultry and
meat products, and, generally, all
articles made at home, or for the home,
from farm materials in 1899.
If every farmer will begin at once to
prepare a careful record of all the facts
which the enumerator will be instructed
to record in June, 1900, he will save
time, for himself and the officer, and
insure more accurate returns to the
Government.
The twentieth century will begin on
January /, 1901. Therefore, the pend
ing Census will afford to future gener-
ations 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 interest in max
ing it as nearly perfect as possible.

ITO Be Continued
THE LITTLE MAN.
He TickIed n Crowd of Passengers
on q Cable Chr with
His Bluffs.

The Gilbert avenue car was slowly
sliding down Walnut street to Fifth
one rainy evening lately. 1t was wet
and soggy on the rear platform, where
several men stood, as usual, thinking
more of their cigars than the comfort
of being inside the vehicle, and every
man looked as irritable as he felt.
Every few PAGES wet umbrella would
be swung around the guard, to be i'm
mediately followed by its owner, who,
being a regular patron of the Gilbert
avenue line, knew that if he got stand
ing room on the car he must needs get
ir ahead of the crowd at Fifth and
Walnut. Half way down the block
one of those arrogant, authoritative
individuals so often met with jabbed
his umbrella against a little man just
in front of him, and rudely bumped
him as he scrambled up on the plat
form, growing about people being
so slow, and asking the little man.
with fine sarcasm, if he was paralyzed.
NO, | amt" said the small fellow,
who Was we'll dressed and apparently

out of your way as quick as could"
The lordly one was plainly sur
prised, as well as bluffed, and hastily
asked the others pardon, not, per-
haps, for his rudencss, but for under
estimating the small mans spirit.
"Yes." said the little man, still glar-
ing threateningIy, ''pardon-pardon.
You're one of those big buffers who
insult people, and then when you're

No more was said, but everybody
looked admiringly at the little man
and smiled contemptuously at the

transformed into two-spot humility

PERFUMES IN AGAIN.
Society Danes HIVE Returned to the
Use of Fragrant Extracts After
n Season of Snchets.

Perfumes are again used by tha
smala set after having been long tab
coed. For several years extracts OF
any kind have been considered vulgar
by those who set the fashions.
Sachet powders and scented amulets
were scattered in profusion in trunks
and wardrobes, and to the apparel of
fashionable women clung a faint,
sweet, indefinable odor. 1t did not re-
solve itself into the perfume of any
flower. Often a gown was hung in a
case prepared for that purpose and
costly oils burned under it until it was
saturated with a sort of incense.
That was an expensive fad how
ever, and only within the reach of a
favored few. Mrs. Howard Gould had a
gown perfumed in this manner.
Now a particular flower is selected
and the real extract used by women ot
the most fastidious taste. Violet is
not so great a favorite as lily-of-the-
valley.
The sweet, spicy fragrance of the
carnation is also in high favor. One
of the newest of these perfumes is Il
rose extract that b"eathes the sweet
ness of a handful of shattered rose
petals. But some people with sensi-
tive nerves find this perfume nauseat-
ing. NewmOwn hay, once so popular,
is seldom used. OF course nothing that
in any way suggests musk is permis-
sible.
These perfumes are never poured on
the handkerchief. They are sprayed
on the entire costume with the most
delicate of atomizers. They must be
used sparingiy. One society leader in
New York has her clothes receptacles
lived with quilted sachets of orris root
and lavender. She always suggests the
faint, clean odor of the linen chest of
the grandmother of long ago. She
has never used any other perfume.-N.
