Hitherto, when the time has come
around for taking the national census,
the entire force engaged in the work,
from the director down to the humblest
clerk, has been assembled at short no
tice. Few of the many thousands EN-
ployed have had previous training or
experience in the peculiar duties of
census. When the work was done the
force was disbanded, leaving only
printed reports to enable the next corps
of workers to profit by its knowledge
and to avoid its errors. This method
is so wasteful that repeated efforts
have been made to establish perma
nent census service, which should carry
along some branches of statistical in
yestigation in the intervals between
censuses, and be capable of expansion
for the full census work when the de-
cennial year arrived. This suggestion
was made before the eleventh census
was taken, but without result. Tile
proposition was renewed before the
twelfth census was taken, and a bill
embodying 1t passed the House, but
failed in the Senate. The bill upon
which both houses of Congress have
now agreed, although it is open to criti-
cism from the civil service reform point
of view In its provisions for covering
present employees into the classified
service, is highly commendable in its
main purpose. The bill confines the de
cennial work of the bureau to the sub
jects of population, agriculture, vital
statistics and manufactures, and leaves
the other subjects now covered by the
census, and some new ones, to be dealt
with more deliberately by the smaller
permanent force. The new system will
make it possible to broaden the census
inquiries without increased expense or
delay in the publication of results y
permanent census bureau can cooper
ate with States and local officers, and
can open up new fields of study. The
next enumeration will be more difficult
than previous ones, because it will in
clude the insuar possessions of the
United States. 1t will be great gain
to enter upon that work with an al
ready organized bureau, directed and
largely manned by experts. instead of
committing it to an improvised force

Again comes the old question, "What
is the good of money if it will not buy
tbe things that one desiresT A
wealthy lady of Chicago has more
money than she can possibly use. She
can draw a big check as easily as most
persons can spend nickel. But the
thing she wanted was child, laugh
ing. rosy-cheeked cherub, to put both
arms around her neck and make her
realize the real, deep meaning OF love;
to round out her life and make her
happy. So she looked around and
found bit of a boy, who had cap
tured sunshine tangled in his hair ana
love in his blue eyes, brave mouth
and a sturdy little figure. He was
one of seven children, and he didn't
know that his mother, a widow, was
wearing out her life to provide food
for the seven The rich lady borrowed
the boy for time and carried him
away to fairyland. She bought fine
clothing for him, toys enough to stock
a store, and loved him, too. She had
a great artist paint the childs por-
tlait, and she discovered that it was
going to be very hard to return this
human blossom. One day she called
on his mother and offered $4,000 for
him. "I'll adopt him. | love him.
You have so many, and l have none,
she ventured. And the widow looked
over her flock and said: Il can't spare
one; no, not for million dollars" and
she drew her baby to her heart. The
good wife of New York garment
trimmer presented him with triplets.
1t raised his family census to nine. At
the very best the father can earn SD
week. That is situation that would
drive some men to suicide. But he
said: I'm glad they came. God has
blessed me with them, and we will get
along somehow. l haven't one too
many" Child-love dwarfs every 9th
er human passion. 1t makes men and
women carry heavy burdens without n
murmur; it makes them accept self
denial patiently, and glorifies lives.
There Is scarcely home in the land,
no matter how great its poverty,
where, for nero money, a man or
woman would part with even one of a
little flock, and the reason is human
love for its own blood.

Biggest Railroad Station.

The city of st. Louis now possesses
the distinction of having the largest
railway station in the United States.
1t is $50 feet long and 600 feet wide,
and has thirty tracks, enough to han
die ten incoming and ten outgoing
trains simultaneously. 1t is known as
the Union Station, and the territory
owned by the company operating it
covers twenty-seyen acres.
The city of Boston has the next to
the largest station for passenger ser
vice in the country. The Union sta
ton in Boston. on the north side. has
length of 800 feet a width of 400
feet and twenty-three tracks.
Both of these huge stations are TO bc
surpassed by the new Southern Union
Station in Boston, upon which work
was begun in January, 1897 and
which is now, nearing completion. II
is designed to be the biggest railroad
station in the United States. The WALL
are built, the steclwork is all in ploce
and the material is on the ground for
the completion of the structure
