The First British Census.

1t is significant of the invariable op-
position offered to any innovation in
England that when the first proposal
for census was made in parliament
II met with bitter hostility. 1t was on
March 80, 1853, that Mr.. Potter, NJ. p,
asked leave to bring in bill "for the
taking and registering an annual ac-
count of the total number of people
and of the total number of births,
deaths and marriages" The ex-horne
secretary's grandfather, Mr.. Matthew
Ridley, said that the people of New
castle regarded the measure as omi-
nous and feared-having regard, per-
haps, to the punishment awarded to
King David-lest some public misfor.
tune or an epidemical distemper should
follow the numbering However, the
bill passed the commons and received
the support of the government, but was
thrown out by the lords.-London

helping man on with an overcoat.
''1Ie was n bellboy then in hotel.
and one day n big man, who was big
and prosperous financially as well as
physically, and who had just got his
overcoat out of the courtroom, turned
to him and said:
Here, boy, help me on with this
coat at the same time tossing the big
coat over to him and turning away.
The boy didn't begin to be big enough
to do it, and, asking him to was Just
the big mans little joke. for he was n
good natured man, but the next minute
the big man felt the coat going up on
his shoulders all right. Turning round,
he saw the youngster stepping down
from chair which had been standing
near and which he had grabbed on to
the minute the man turned his back.
This tickled the big man very much,
and he took the small boy into his Of
fee, and practically the boys fortune
was made from that minute, for he had
the stuff In him to make good as well
as the brains to meet his luck half way
when it came"

FOR LITTLE FOLKS,
Little Irinces. and the Teacua


When she was n little girl, very
pretty story was told OF Queen Will
helmina of Holland. Her father was
presented by the city of Amsterdam
with a beautiful set of cups and sau-
GERS. So highly did he prize them that
he at once issued orders that any one
In the palace who should be so unfor-
tunate as to break one should be dis
missed.
Not long after this order little Will
helmina was surprised to discover her
favorite footman weeping bitterly. 1t
seemed that he had been so unfortu-
nate as to break one of the cups in
carrying 1t from the room in which he
had been serving tea.
The princess was deeply grleved at
the accident; but, having discovered
that the pieces were quite large and
could easily be glued together, she said
to the footman:
IF you will do exactly as | direct,
will try to help you out of your trouble.
You can easily glue these pieces togeth-
er. This afternoon when you are serv-
Ing tea bring this cup to me filed with
cold tea, and l will see what can do
about it."
The footman obeyed his directions
exactly. A moment after the princess
had received her tea she managed to
let 1t fall so that it broke into thou
sands Of pieces. The king was furious
ly'angry.
"Goodby, father" cried Wilhelmina,
her arms about his neck. I'm going.
You said whoever broke cup should
be banished." OF course the father
forgave her, and some llttleArime after
ward she confessed the whole affair,
only she would never reveal which of
the footmen had been the guilty cul-
prit.

A Large House.

The largest house ever built in Amer
lea stood on plateau seven thousand
feet above sea level, and thirty miles
from Santa Fe, n. NJ. 1t outrivaled in
size our largest hotels and public edi-
fees, for it contained fifteen hundred
rooms and must have accommodated a
population numbering twenty thousand
persons, as it stretched over an area of
twenty-five miles. The remains of this
marvellous structure were discovered
by Prof. Cole of the Northwestern Uni
bersity. who, while on an exploring
tour in New Mexico recently, came
across the ruins. Conjecture states
that the building must have been erect
ed more than two thousand years ago
1t was found in one of the remote and
least known regions of America, and
the explorers were dumb with aston
ishment when they examined it and
traced the walls and apartments, and
discovered altar stones and evidences
of the life that had once inhabited the
place in bygone centuries. Human
bones taken from mounds near the site
of this great building give evidence
that the inhabitants too were of colos-
sal size. 1t is believed this place was
the center of the Indian civilization of
this country.

Representatives which was elected last
November, and which will meet next De-

House which will be elected in 1902 there
will be 1856 members. The ratio for rep

course, the electoral college will be en-

vote in the canvass OF 1900 was AT. The
vote in the election of 1904 will be 4T6

LOWLY EARTHWCRM.
One of the Greatest Factors in I'm
proving the Soil.

One of the Greatest Factors IN Inn
proving the Soil.
The perpetual action of the earth
worm is one of the greatest factors in
improving the soil. An acre of garden
ground will contain more than 10000
worms, through whose bodies 10 tons
of soil annually pass. The structure
of the soil is altered in this process, and
its mineral constituents assume form
In which they are easily assimilated by
vegetation. Worms also continually
change the surface of the soil by their
castings" at the rate Of about an inch
in five years. The new mold thus gets
exposed to the various influences of
heat, light and atmosphere These i'm
portant functions do not exhaust the
services of the lOwly worm. By boring
the soil in all directions they open a
way for rain to penetrate, and tn
vegetable matter which they draw into
the earth increases its fertility Other
burrowing animals, such as mOles and
beetles, are also helpful in the great
work of stirring and renewing the soil,
but the part which they play is insig-
nidcant as compared with that Of the
earthWorm.
