But the kit gave one last shrill
meow, which was a most effective
appeal to its dam. Straight at one
Of the closed windows the frantic
old cougar leaped. She struck the
panes midway, and but for their
double central sash she would have
gone clear through. AS the splintered
glass FELL Miss Barglof turned to see
the vicious beast clinging, her head
and three legs thrust through the
broken papes and clawing frantically
for support.
The teacher leaped upon a desk,
confronting the scrambling brute, and
struck it a swinging blow upon the
head The cougar dropping to the
ground, whrled about and about, hold
inig its head sldewise, as if half-dazed
by the heavy stroke.
Then Miss Barglof stood guard at
the broken window and watched the
cougar dam until the creature had re-
covered its senses, lay down upon its
belly, thrashing its tail about and
again snarling in futile threats.
The teacher now took the body Il
the kit, which she was compelled to
tear away from Bunts, and threw it
out to the dam. The old one snarled
afresh at this demonstration, and
then, realizing that her kit lay before
her, she rose quickly and shifted
eagerly at the lifeless spotted thing.
SJe trotted away from the dead kit,
and looked back as If coaxing it TO
follow, and vet not expecting it %
do so. This manoeuver she repeated
several times. returning TO sniff at
the body and to lick the soft fur
caressingly Then, with an air f
great detection, she lifted the lifeless
kit in her mouth and trotted of
among the pines.
The teacher now aroused Nettie and
soothed her with assurances of safety.
Yet when the two dared to so out Of
doors they did not stop running until
they had crossed the Mayhem irri-
eating ditch, and found three men
peacefully harvesting alfalfa in the

EVOLUTION oF THE CENSUS.
Taken in the Middle Ages For the
Purpose of Taxation.

Taken in the Middle Ages For the
Purpose of Taxation.
The term census" had it's origin in
Rome, and was applied TO one group
Of the censor's many and varied func-
tions, says a writer in the Paris Mes
senger The Roman census was chiefly
concerned with fiscal matters, and we
may suppose that the enumerators
were not too effectively welcomed by
the Inhabitants. In the middle ages
the census meant neither more nor less
than q tax, and the final, formal, ma
teral, and efficient cause of every
numbering of a people was the desire
Of its castle-clad government for
money or the actual sinews of war.
Under the absolute monarchles
which appeared in Europe after the
decline and fall of the feudal system,
the tendency to Capitalization for adj
ministratlve purposes prepared the
way for statistical inquiries, into the
numbers Of the inhabitants of partic-
ular districts. The necessity Of such
stock taking was first clearly pointed
out by Adam Smith, but it was not till
leng after his death that the first
census of Great Britain-it did not
extend TO IrIland-was carried out. A
census bill, which passed the Lower
House in 1853, was thrown out by
the Lords az being ''profane and sub
versive of liberty" Accordingly, up
to 1901, the number of inhabitants Of
the British islands was as much
matter Of guesswork as the popuTa
tion of China is to-day, ana, as in
variably happens in such cases, the re-
suit of the enumeration was a great
disappointment to all the statistical
prophets.
The progress of the census methods
since the first year of the last CEN
tury may be illustrated by the de-
velOpment ef the occupational returns.
In 1901 there were but three divisions
those employed in agriculture, those
engaged in trade or manufacture and
those engaged in neither. In the next
two censuses no material change in
this respect was made, but In 1881 the
uNtlbGtID VI pdllhlltS MNAe ItluAl GU
to give details respecting the Occu-
pations Of males over 20. In the cen
sus Of 1841, an enumeration most
facilitated by the uniform system of
registration Of births, marriages, and
deaths which came into force in 1887,
the enumerators were instructed to
enter each persons description of his
own occupation.
An interesting feature of the census
Of 1851 was an attempt to supply the
ecclesiastical and educational statis-
tics of the country. but no effort was
made to elaborate the occupation re-
turns. The census of 1861 was also, to
a certain degree, experimental. In
1871 the first imperial census was TAX

Does Il pay, wonder, to toll for gold
Till the back is bowed and bent,
Till the heart 10 old and the hair is white,
And life's best days are spent;
Till the eyes are blind with the yellow
dust
That we strive for day by day,
Till all we hear is the coins dull clink,
i wonder, does it pay!
Does it pay, I wonder, to strive for
naught
But the pleasures life will give,
To dance AL night and to dream all day,
To be merry while we live;
To work and worry and fume and fret
Over what we shall wear to-day,
What we shall eat and what we shall
drink,
i wonder, does it pay?

The London Spectator, in discussing
the standard of wealth in recent years,
remarks that fifty years ago an in
rome Of $4,000 was accounted sufi-
cient to maintain a good place in So
ciety, but now one must begin with a.
income of 100000 yearly if the same
relative position is to be maintained.
The Spectator does not think that the
truth Of this is based upon luxurious
ness or wastefulness peculiar to the
present, but the increase in the num-
Der of rich men has caused an increase
in the price Of everything rich men
seek. Hence the necessity of an in.
come double that Of fifty years ago
to maintain equal social vantage
ground.

The Electrical Review remarks that
there is a noticeable falling away in
the number of fires that are attrib.
uted to electric wires" Whether this
is due to an increasing morality on the
part Of fire marshals, or whether some
other fashionable cause has sprung
up, is hard to say. For years past the
electric wire has borne the brunt Of
attacks from various sources, and its
responsibility for every mysterious.
fire has hardly been questioned-ex-
eept by those who know something
about electric wires. 1t is to be hoped
that the slow progress of common
sense win finally remove from cleo
trical conductors the unjust odlum
they have so long borne and lead to a
more correct popular understanding
of the real causes of conhagration.

AS in all the other civilized coun-
tries so in the United States popula-
tiOn tends away from the country and
toward the cities. Whereas twenty
nine per cent. o. our people lived in
towns of over 5000 inhabitants in
1890, over thirty-twO per cent. of them
are now living in towns of that size.
Especially in the North Atlantic group
of States is the population crowding
more and more into the cities and
large towns Nearly fifty in every
100 Of the inhabitants of those States,
which include New York and New
England, are city dwellers.

1t was said by Margaret Fuller,
"The only object in life is to grow"
In the light of the scientific interpre-
tation Of life this saying is full of
meaning, for growth is necessary to
continued and successful existence.
Whatever does not grow has already
been taken possession Of by death.
When there is effort, there is growth
or development, but, when there is
cessation Of effort, there is stagnation
or death. The scientific term for stag
nation is atrophy or degeneration, but
these are only other names for what
results when growth ceases. Work,
struggle, effort, produces growth or
evolution, but laziness, cessation Of
effort, refusal TO toll, results in degen-
Grafton or atrophy, a slow but certain
failure Of our powers, reflects the
Christian Register.
