time of the house yesterday. Mr.. Cam

Democrats, who desired to devote the
day to the consideration Of private
claims. 1t was'the last day under the
rules which could be devoted to claims
at this congress and notices had been
sent u asking the Democrats to be

making the point of no quorum

result was that the whole day was

LIE TO THE CENSUS TAKER.
Women and Boys Misrepresent Their

Women and Boys Misrepresent Their
Ages from Different Motives.
Feminine vanity, as II Is related to
the desire to be esteemed young, and
boyish ambition to attain the manly
and voting age of 81 years, are plainly
shown In census figures. This is no new
revelation in the taking of the twelfth
census, but it is an old tendency which
has been shown by the figures of the
mast censuses of the United States, as
we'll as Of other countries. 1t has again
10 the census of Cuba. A study of the
statistics Of Cuba has shown an excess
siye number of females between the
ages of Is and 10 years, inclusive, when
compared with the number of males of
that age. 1t looked, In fact, as IL there
were a good many thousand girls of
that age in Cuba who would never find
mates in life and who would end their
DAYS In single blessedness simply be
cause there We're so many of them COM
pared to the youths who were growing
up with them. That Is what the figures
man, but to the census expert they
mean something else. They simply
mean that girls below the age of Is
wish TO represent themselves as older
than they are, while those who have
passed their teens cling to the aga of
youth to the extent of even deceiving
the census enumerators. Young ladies
who are sensitive on the subject of
their ages fear that the enumerator,
who generally lives in their neighbor-
hood and frequently knows them, will
"blab' their ages to all the marriage
able young men and perhaps interfere
with some attachment that bids fair to
ripen into mellow love. The fact is, the
enumerator. as a rule, is perfectly cal.
lous to the significance of the census
figures and forgets them as soon as he
records them. In Cuba 10 is equivalent
to % years in the age of a young lady
| living in the northern portion of the
United States.
