The President will approve 1t IS eX' pected, the bill to establish permanent census bureau. The bill now awaits his approval as 1t has passed both branches of congress. On this subject the Bos- ton Herald remarks; The obnoxious provision for crowding all the tempo rary employees of the bureau into the classified civil service without eXamin- ation was modified to some extent, but is, still far from acceptable to civil ser- vice reformers We have been of the opinion that President Roosevelt, in view of his record, could hardly bring Himself to sanction the bill with this feature included. The intimations from Washington. however indicate that he will give it his approval, the main pur- rose of the bill being one that he had emphatically approved in his message and accomplishing a permanent ad
 vantage which he thinks outweighs the | incidental temporary disadvantage which congress has insisted on embody | ing in it. It is possible. also, that some
 part of the wrong attempted by th'
 spoilsmen can be obviated by regulativ' l executive action. Be this as it may
 the census bureau is likely to be here
 after a constant fixture, and we shal
 be spared the decennial scramble tha
 has been demoralizing example to tn
 country. It appears to be accepted a certainty that Superintendent Mer 1 ria11 will be continued in his office.

LUNGS THAT ARE LAZY

Their Owners Digest Poorly and
Catch Cold Easily.
Fresh air is free gift, but 1t is like
most of the gifts of heaven in that we
must do oYr share Of work to benefit
by 1t. No one would expect TO have a
good fire just because pair of bellows
hung on nail by the chimney, but this
Is exactly what many people expect of
their lungs, which are really only the
bellows given us by which to keep the
fire Of life burning bright and clear
within us.
1t Is not too much to assert that lungs
properly used In a comparatively close
room will do more good than lazy lungs
In an open field. This trick OF lazy
lungs Is a habit, like any other, and
may be overcome by persistent effort.
Many persons, for example, are affiict-
ed with a nervous habit of holding the
breath unconsciously. These are the
people who, in spite of plenty of time
spent out OF doors, yet catch cold easi-
ly, digest poorly and are always more
or less under the weather" physically.
Many other persons-and they consti-
tute the great majority of mankind
breathe only with the upper part Of the
lungs and although they may breathe
regularly do not draw in sufficient air
at breath to fill all the lung cells.
When once the pernicious habit of
poor, shallow breathing has been bro
ken up, the health undergoes such mark
ed improvement, there is such brighten
Ing Of the spirits and improvement OF
the looks, that the luxury Of deep
breathing is not likely to be readily
foregone.
A good way to start the new habit Is
to take deliberately few minutes at
stated intervals and devote them to
proper breathing. III this Is done sys-
tematically, the reformer will find him
self unconsciously breathing more and
more, until very soon he is obeying ma
ture and really breathing to live.
Besides the gain to the general health
which comes from the habit of deep
breathing there is created n reserve
strength and preparedness which Is
often of great service In warding off
acute pulmonary diseases.-Youth's
Companion.

HUNTING THE GORILLA.

Gorilla hunting is distinct sensation

skilled hunters have never observed
any of these doings, but they testify TO
the brute's strength and ferocity," says
Allen Sangree in Afnslee's. According
to a French sportsman, a full grown
gorilla can bite through tree six inch
es thick in order TO secure the sap and
twist a gun barrel with the swollen
punches of muscle that serve for arms.
His roar is terrifying and can be heard
for q distance of three miles.

an immense. male gorilla. There he re-

facing us with his huge chest, muscu-
lar arms, fiercely glaring deep gray
ewes and a hellish expression, until
moved.
"'At that he dropped to all fours and
came six yards nearer. sitting up to

An Omission In N Wedding Ceren
Tint Didn't Count.

An Omission In N Wedding Ceremony
That Didn't Count.
A distinguished officer of the United
States navy once told this story on him
self: I,
At the time Of his marriage he had
been through the civil war and had had
many narrowing experiences aboard
ship. through all of which he kept cour-
age and remained rs calm as brave
man should. AS the time for the cere-
mony came on, however, his calmness
gradually gave way. At the altar, amid
the blaze of brass buttons and gold
lace marking the full naval wedding,
the officer was all but stampeded and
what went on there seemed very much
mixed to him. Fearing the excitement
Of the moment would temporarily take
Him off his feet, the officer had learned
the marriage ceremony letter perfect,
as he thought, and he remembered re-
peating the words after the minister In
a mechanical sort of way.
After the ceremony was over and all
was serene again, including the off,
GERS state of mind, the kindly clergy
man came up to him and touched him
on the shoulder.
"Look here, old man." he said. "you
didn't endow your wife with any
worldly goods"
'What's that" asked the bridegroom,
with something of astonishment in his
voice.
''Why, repeated the sentence With
all my worldly goods thee endow' sew
eral times and despite my efforts you
would not say II after me-"
The bridegroom seemed perturbed for
a moment, and then a beaming light
came into his face.
Never mini, sir" he said. "She
didn't lose blessed thing by my fall
ure."-Washington Star.

Antiquity of the Boomerang.

The boomerang, the Australian ma
tive's weapon of offense and defense,
referred to in all reference works as an
instrument unknown until after the
discovery Of Australia, was doubtless
known before the time of Christ. Pliny
the elder, a contemporary of our Sa-
viour, writes as follows in his Natural
History respecting an instrument
made of the wood of the aquifolia:
eff a staff made of this wood, when
thrown at an animal, from want of
strength in the person throwing falls
short of the mark, it viii come back
toward the thrower of its own accord,
so remarkable are the properties of
that tree"
1t is altogether probable that the
learned Pliny did not consider the
shape of the "staff" and referred its pc
culiarites to the nature of the wood Of
which it was made

PRIMITIVE PUMPS.
The Mechanism Used In Ancient
Egypt and In China.

The Mechanism Used In Ancient
Egypt and In China.
A representative piece Of mechanism
occurs frequently on the sculptures of
early Egypt. 1t has the appearance of
and is generally believed to be that of
q portable pump. The hydraulic screw
is also attributed to this people, but
their main reliance seems always to
have been the shadoof, seen every
where along the banks Of the Nile, an
invention so simple and so well adapt
ed to their needs that it remains today
substantially the same at it has been
through all the centuries since history
began.
The same may be said regarding the
chain pump in China. an invention the
origin Of which antedates the Christian
era. This simple machine which seems
never to have been improved upon, is
in such common use that every agricul-
tural laborer is in possession Of one.
Where irrigation is conducted on lar
ger scale the chain pump is made pro-
portionately larger and moved by
very simple tread wheel and still lar
ger ones are operated by yozing a buff
falo or other animal to a suitable driv-
ing machine.
The application of steam to raising
water is Of uncertain origin. Long be-
fore the Christian era certain applica-
lions Of fire to vessels containing wa
ter, by which effects were produced
calculated TO astonish ignorant wor-
shippers, were practiced by the priests
Of Egypt Greece and Rome, but their
knowledge seems never to have been
turned into any channel Of secular use

Rice stumng.

Rice stuffing for roast chicken or tur-
key is considered preferable to the usu-
al breadcrumbs. To prepare it brown
one chopped onion in a tablespoonful
of butter and mix with it four cupfuls
of cold boiled rice and one cupful of
breadcrumbs that have been moistened
in one cupful Of milk. Season with
sage, parsley or other sweet herbs, as
desired. Add half a pound Of sausage
meat or finely chopped salt pork and
salt and pepper to taste.

A striking incident of the relief Of
Cawnpore was the rout of the Ninth
lancers by swarm of bees. A village
in the line Of march was found to be
defended by a hastily improvised
stockade, on the top of which a num-
Der of hives were stuck. Into one of
these a young officer jabbed his sword,
with a result that in far less time than
it takes to tell it the whole advance
guard was racing for dear life to the
rear, and Sir Hope Grant hastily
formed line of battle, believing 1t re-
pulsed by the mutineers in force.
