The differences between the cost Of
securing the returns from the six sim

capita cost, which in 1890 was 1.13
cents, and in 1900 1875 cents, SAYS Di-
rector W. Il. Merriam, in "The Eyolu-
tion Of Census-Taking" in Century.
In 1890 Virginia was the most popu-

inhabitants. The records Of the treas

SILK HATS IN JAPAN.
some Queer Specimens Are Worn by
Men Who Affect European
Fashions.

The Japan Weekly Advertiser ha
few words TO say about the apine
OF western customs by the japanese
and takes for its text the foreign
clothes seen on citizens Of the flow
cry empire. Ii says:
"Men Of fair status are freqnentl,
to be seen wearing silk hats Of ante
diluvian pattern, with ordinary ma
tive costume down to geta and zori.
AS for the hats, where the blocks
some from is a mystery, but the fact
remains that a Bowery or White
chapel tough would be ashamed 10
go abroad in some Of the abortions
masquerading as powders and top
pers,' which are as common as per
simmons in Japan.
Here is a case where the natives
cannot excuse themselves on the
ground that they have no model t.
90 by. A glance at the first for
eigner should be sufficient 10 teach
them that a hard hat worn over the
ears, and measuring scarcely more
than two inches in height from the
brim to the crown, is not a fashion
able adjunct OF European costume in
the twentieth century, though il
might have been so 80 years ago"
The wearing OF a silk hat with a
kimono is, says the Advertiser, 1.-THE
outward and visible sign Of a certain
intellectual inaptitude."

AMERICAN SHOE INDUSTRY.
The Output of Footwear In This

The books, shoes and slippers made
by machinery In the United States
every year would provide a pair OF

they were arranged by pairs, heels
and toes touching, they would make
a belt that would encircle the globe.

from New York to San Francisco.
Placed singly, heel and toe, they
would go around the world two and

of our great trunk railroads, the
rights on one rail and the lefts on
the other, they would cover the irons
from the Atlantic to the Pacific Of all
the continental lines that now eros.

The hides and skins used to form
this immense quantity Of shoes come
from all over the world, but chiefly
from the East Indies, South America
and Europe, and II they were sewed
together in one sheet they would
make tent large enough to cover

EVERYBODY GOT A PRIZE.
Novel Tuchre Party, which Ended
satisfactorily 10 Everybody
Who Had Played.

The Long Island society, Daughters
Of the Revolution, enjoys the distinc-
tion Of having conducted a progress
siye euchre contest at which every
one present received a prize and
everybody was satisfied, says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
The company was mainly confined
10 members Of the society, and in the
cards issued for the occasion the re-
quest was made that each one desir-
ing to participate would contribute
prize not to exceed in value p
cents. Although the price limitation
was not strictly adhered TO, the
souvenirs were for the most part
OF articles Of femme use or for orna-
ment. The players, according to the
number Of games they had scored.
made their selection at haphazard
from collection of paper enyeloped
articles. The fun came when the
yoluminous wrappings were removed
and a hat pin. a bondOn dish, coffee
spoon. tray, photo frame, book. bit
of china, top or trinket was disclosed.
Considerable igenuity was displayed
in wrapping up the prizes, so that
no hint was given Of the contents
OF the package The cleverest bit
Of deception in this way was the
inclosing bonbon dish in a cracker
box bearing the name OF a popular
brand and looking as il the original
contents had never been disturbed.

Prof. Cunningham, who has been

In the chair of anatomy in the Uni

personally examined every giant
skeleton in the British and continent

to this part OF the brain is enlarged

GOVERNMENT IRRIGATION.
the Arid Lands of the
West.

The far-reaching plans for irriga.
ton of the arid west through the
assistance Of the powerful national
government are slowly turning into
facts, says the Minneapolis Journal.
Recently a contract was let for a
dam across the Snake river in Idaho
that. with two large main bitches,
will reclaim 100000 acres Of fertile
land. it is well known that a 40
acre irrigated farm is equivalent in
production to 16O-acre nOnirrigated
farm. On that basis the Snake river
reclamation will provide $500 farms,
or. probably. homes for about $4,000
people, and the villages and cities
will have from $4,000 to $4,000 more.
And all this will come from the wa.
tering of only 100000 acresl And
before Uncle Sam is through with his
big job he will turn water onto 1OO.-
900 600 acres.

ployed at the Girard Point grain ele.
'ators, according to the Philadelphia
Record. "Ile can figure out thing
for himself in a way that is aston

there are thousands of them who
feed on the grains of wheat that
fan to the ground, but recently we
haven't been getting any wheat. In
fact, for some time past we haven't
been handling anything but corn.
"Now, a kernel of corn is rather

but just the same l watched a lot
Of them picking up the kernels the

they did with them? You will hardly
believe me when I tell you, but it's

over to the railroad and carefully
deposited his kernel OF corn on the
rail. Then they all hoped around
and chartered until a shifting engine

corn was ground into meal and the
sparrows ate it. Don't tell me
