THE CENSUS MAN.
Do Net Get Angry if He Asks You Blunt
 Questions.

On Friday, June l, the taking of the census will begin. and some time dur ing June Il man will call on you and ask you all kinds of questions of Il personal natnre-as 10 your age, condition of health, family relations, financial capa- bilities and business status
 You may feel like killing him with a club, but don't do it. He may be your friend or neig Ibor. but he is only the census enumerator and i> only making you part of the United States census Of 1900. If you should commit au as. sault on him your Uncle sam will take the matter up and your name is likely to appear upon the roster of jail.
 When the enunerator calls on you he will identify himself by his official schedules and Il badge. He will not depend on the evidence of his eyes, bu, will ask your sex and color. and the fact that you possess a white skin and wear d gun and spurs won't excuse you from answering the question. He will ask you the month and year of yolir birth. whether you are married or single, widowed or divorced. how long you have been married to your present better half how many children you have had, how many are now living, whether you are deaf. dumb or blind, and will require to know these things about each member of your family. If you are Il native of another country you will be expected 10 tell when you came to this country, and what steps, il any, you have taken to become citizen.

 business and wants to know your Occu- patton. If you have more than one you will be listed under the head of the one from which you derive the most in- come. In case you are not sure which one of your occupations is the most remunerative, the one you spend the most time and effort on will be the one under which you will be described. Thus, if you tend bar during the day and spend the evening throwing dice at the crap table you will be put down as d bartender. In cise you have no income it will not he noted. as the gov ernment is too polite tO put you down as a hobo.
 When the enumeratOr gets through with you he will know things about you that your intimate friends do not, but as soon as you have answered his last question he is expected U leave what you have told him. If he don't forget it, or behave as if he had, he is subject to d fine of $500 upon conviction.
 Officially the census begins oD June l, but lhe enumeraJor may not arrive at your house until ten days later and find that you were married on June ,. You will go down ils a bachelor and your wife as spinster. You may have died since the list of June, but if the census enumerator finds out that you were alive on that date you are d part of the population of Arizona and you have u fictitious existence in the sum total. The census does not recognize anything that may happen you between June l and the date of the arrival of the censu, enumerator.

Durham, Feb. 19-There was contin-
uous fighting yesterday from the British

heavy bombardment With three 4.7-inch
guns and the 100-pounder siege gun,
supported by infantry against the Boer
position on Hlangwane Hill, which ad-
joins Monte Cristo and is regarded as
the key to Grobler'S Kloof.
The firing was particularly active
from Hussar Hill on the strong Boer
intrenchments at the extreme end of
Hlangwane HILL These intrenchments

firing continued at o'clock last even

During the day the gun Lady Ran

I PAYS MILLIONS
To Talk Health to the Public.

A short time ago the advertising man.
ager Of the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, at
Battle Creek, Mich, furnished this pa
per with a statement as follows: eve
receive in some single months 1900 to
1900 letters from people explaining their
experience with coffee drinking, which
would interest any physician or any
person making the subject of health a
study, (and that is really very i'm
portant subject for every one) Many
of these letters give the details Of how
the writer, having been Ill for months,
and in some cases for years, without
discovering the cause of illness, has
finally been led to suspect that coffee
(Which is really a drug) has been the
cause, and, in order to prove for their
own satisfaction, have abandoned cof-
fee and taken up Postum Food Coffee,
with remarkable results in many cases.
The most common ailments from cof
fee are headache, general nervous pros
tration, and stomach trouble. Many
times a blotchy complexion is the re-
suit, and a very large number speak Of
serious kidney troubles that have been
set up, which disappear when coffee is
left off and Postum Food Coffee taken
in it's place, but the range of disorders
to the human system is very wide, and
directly points to the effect of coffee on
the nervous system, which locates in
some one or more of the different Or
gans of the body.
1t is plainly evident that any person
suffering with lung trouble, ca
tarrh, heart trouble, bowel COM
plant, pain in the back of the head or
at the top of the spinal column, female
troubles, and a wide range Of difficult
ties will be surely and permanently
helped if coffee is left out of the diet,
and Postum Food Coffee taken up. The
reason is as clearly marked out as any
plain conclusion that the mind can
reach, and is absolutely proven by per-
eonal test Coffee is a distinct poison,
to many people, often slow and insidi-
Gus. but sure. Leaving it off will re-
move the cause of the trouble, and on
the other hand, if Postum Food Coffee
Is taken up, the natural elements Which
exist in it, and which are selected from
the grains of the field intended by Ma
ture for rebuilding the nervous system
will make themselves shown in in
creased strength, vitality and health.
We feel that we have clear right to
tell these facts over and over again to
the public, and to ask them ito make
trial for themselves, in order to prove
the truth of our statements" The sub
ject is worth the attention of everyone
interested in physical and mental
health.

The Antianitx of Beds

Beds were unknown among the an. clients, who slept on the floor pr on a divan covered with skins. It was in the middle ages that beds first became common, being made of rushes, leather or straw. It is supposed that feather beds were known to the Romans, since men are reviled by one of the Latin poets for their luxury in sleeping upon feathers. ;, Heliogobalus, the most effeminate of the Roman emperors, pos sessed an air cushion and an air mat tress as early as A. D. 210. In Eng land the better classes began to Use feather beds for the first time during the reign of Henry WILL, and ip cer- tain districts of Holland and Germany bedsteads are still fitted as they were then, with two feather beds; epon one the sleeper lies. the other being used for covering. The Russian peasant places his bed on the top of the oven for the sake of the warmth given out by the Philadelphia Times.

Alaska Growing Warmer.

Prospective visitors and gold-seekers in the Klondike region may extract some comfort from the discovery made by the Hartman Alaska expedition that most of the glaciers which abound in that territory are reeeding. The fact is an indication that the average weather there is growing warmer. If 1t were growing colder the glacerq would be advancing, while if it Were about the same one year with anothav they would maintain the same general position, neither creeping nearer to tbe sea nor melting away from their fer. minal moraines. The rate of glacial recession is so slow, however. that fnr overcoats and warm sleeping-bags aro likely to remain as a payt of the necas. sary equipment of Alaskan travel for some years to come. Nothing, if nav be added, is slower thar the move, ment of a glacier, except the settle. ment of the Alaskan boundary dis pute.
