THE MODERN CENSUS,

Since 1890 the area of the Uni
ted States has increased from
S27, ,S44 to 3,622, 933 square miles
the number of counties has in
creased from 307 to 1857, and the
total population has increased
from 1929, PA to 76,303, ,3S7, or
nineteen fold. There are four
States each possessing in 1900 q
population greater than that OF
the entire nation in 1790,at which
time two of the four were an un
trodden wilderness. The mum.
Der of cities with a population OF
5000 on over has increased from
six to 546, and the number with a
population of $4,000 or over from
two TO 16l. There are now thir-
ty-eight cities having a popula.
exceeding 100000 and three OF
these have over 100000 each. -
In 1900 the record of capital, wa
ges and value Of products of man
ufactures rises to figures almost
beyond comprehension. The cap
ital invested was S9,S46, ,62S, 564;
the salaries and wages paid a.
mounted to S2,735, 43O, ,84S, and
the value of products was S13,
39,279,566. In agriculture the
figures are almost equally i'm.
pressive. The total value of farms
in 1900 was S16,674, 500, 247, and
that of agricultural products in
1899, 81, 739, 118, 1852. To gather
and collate such stupendous fig
ures, not only with accuracy, but
so swiftly that the record of pop.
ulation in 1900 appeared as quick,
ly as did the little report of the
first census, was a task of the
first magnitude. 1t was, indeed,
an evolution.
Such is the modern census. II

A DAY WITHOUT REST.

1t may be asked if American
domestic habits have not some
thing to do with the frequent
breakdown of American nerves,
says Harper's Weekly writer.
in our civilization there are
three systems of living out the
ordinary working day. There is
the French system, which is that
of the Continent of Europe IN
general; there is the English sys-
TEN, and there is the American
system.
The Englishman goes to work
late and comes away early; but
during working hours he works
all the time. His luncheon is
light and eaten hastily-perhaps
at his desk. For this he makes
up by a leisurely breakfast and a
leisurely dinner.
The Frenchman goes to work
early and works hard till noon.
The American Is apt to under.
rate the energy with which the
Frenchman works while he is
working. But at noon work ceas-
es, and he sits down to an abun-
dant meal, well cooked, well serv-
ed and eaten with appetite and in
peace. After his dejeuner he has
his petit verre, his smoke and
perhaps game of dominoes or
cards; while he discusses poll.
tics, the arts, or the topics of the
day.
Even the laborer, who in Amer
lea eats his cold midday meal in a
ditch or behind a pile of boards,
generally sits down in Europe to
decent table.
The American system, as we
have said, combines the chief fea-
lures Of the other two. The
American goes to work early, like
the Frenchman; like the French
man, he works hard like the
Frenchman, he works late; but,
like the Englishman, he takes no
time to himself at midday.
AS for any intellectual repose
or mental distraction from the
grim facts of work-not only is
it not thought of, but the very
idea would be laughed to scorn.
1t is scarcely strange, therefore,
that Europe should be rich in ell
egant American widows and or.
phans, and the churchyard at
home too full of young mems
graves.

HOW I WENT INTO THE GOAT
BUSINESS.

When | was about six years
old | invested one dollar in some
sheep which my father had leased
on shares. They were very pro
titable, and from them | realized
about ten dollars. / worked on
the farm during the summer and
went to school IN the winter. |
made a contract with my father
to milk our COW for three years,
for a calf which was born during
the first year of my contract
When the calf was two years old,
my father sold it for fifty dollars.
Then he gave me ten dollars TO
milk during the remainder of my
contract time.
While looking over a farm
journal, during%he winter of 1900
| read an article in 1T about An
CORA goats. had my father
read it, and he gave me permis.
sion to write for pamphlet
This pamphlet emphasized the fact
that Angora would clear up old
waste land.
My father had a farm of about
four hundred acres, half of which
was cleared. The other half was
land that had all the big TIM Der
cut out, but had grown up again.
1t was perfect wilderness.
We organized a company to
buy some Angoras. 1t was call.
ed the Cohill Angora Goat Com
pany, and was made secretary.
We purchased forty head of reg.
istered Angora does. We have
been very successful with them,
and now have one hundred and
forty. One hundred acres of land
will, after one more year of An
CORA browsing, be ready to set in
fruit trees.
The president, L. p. Cohlll, who
is my father, took me to Kansas
City last fall to attend the Royal
Cattle and Goat Show. While
there | learned to Judge an An
CORA, which helped me in buying
four Angora kids a few days later
They are perfect beauties. I also

lars. Before the Angora was in
his pen l was offered a big sum
for him, but he was not for sale.
The day before, he captured first
prize in class of eighteen of the
best Angora goat bucks, one year
old, to be seen in America.

public school, in the eighth grade
and have nine Angora goats of
my own. William j. Cohill in
