Woman Cennua Tnker.

1t was through the death Of her hus-
band that Mrs. Daniel A. Button of Pom
tiac, Mich, became the first woman CEN
sus enumerator a number of years ago.
She had been in the habit of arranging
and copying the work of her husband,
who was one Of the deputies appointed
for census purposes. When left alone,
Mrs. Button applied for her husband $
position, in due time receiving the ap-
pointment.
1t was decided by the government after
receiving her reports that the manufac-
turing statistics should be compiled for
the first time in the history of the CEN
sus, and this work was placed in her
hands. Mrs. Button found it a difficult
task. as she had to visit personally every
mandatory, large or small. in the dis
trict and ascertain the amount and cost
Of material used, the value of the article
purchased, the expense of production and
the gain or loss per year. Upon sending
in her final report to the superintendent
of the census bureau she received from
him a letter Of communication for the uni
form excellence of her work and Il dcpu-

Country Cures.

them in health, but it is not 50 very long

cure for consumption was to lead or carry
the sufferer through flock of sheep in
the early morning when they were first
let ont Of the fold Some mothers used
10 place consumptive children in cots in
the center Of the sheepfold and there
leave them from II 80 till / O'Clock in the
morning, believing that the malady would
pass away before the rising of that
morn's sun. West OF England folk still
say that an invalid when going out for
the first walk during convalescence must
take care 10 go with the sun, from east
to west. or west to east il after sun

be avoided. In south Wales as late as

But the woman who sat on her other

In our grandmothers' kitchens the
herbs were as Indispensable in cooking as
salt, and the proportion was gagged to a
nicely, so that there was harmony that
pleased even the most temperate eater.
This art seems TO have been lost along
with many other accomplishments our
grand danes excelled in.
The reason many express dislike to
the flavor OF herbs in foods is because
they have been the victim Of bad and
careless cooking. Herbs are not only OBJ.
jectonable to the taste, but dangerous
when ignorantly used. and the prejudice
for them comes from their abuse.
