NUMBERING THE PEOPLE
Dark Predictions by Foes Of an Ems
liah Census Bill.

Dark Predictions by Foes Of an Ene.
lish Census Bill.
1t was in 1853 that proposal to
rount the people was first made.
Thomas Potter, son Of the archbishop
Of Canterbury and member for st.
Germans, introduced in that year a bill
for taking and registering an annual
account Of the total number Of the
people and Of the total number Of
marriages. births and deaths and also
Of the total number Of poor receiving
aims from every parish and extra paro-
chial place In Great Britain" It was
inevitable, Of course, that directly this
proposal was made the precedent Of
King David should be quoted. And
many were the jeremiads as to the al
tentative evils which would befall the
country. Those submitted to David
were mild in comparison. Mr.. Thorn
ton. member for York city, said:
Il did not believe that there was any
set Of men or, indeed, any individual
Of the human species so presumptuous
and SO abandoned as to make the pro-
posal we have just heard hold
this subject to be totally subversive Of
the last remains Of English liberty.
- The new bill will direct the i'm
position Of new taxes, and, indeed, the
| addition Of very few words will make
it the most effectual engine Of rapac-
ity and oppression that was ever used
against an injured people. More
over, an annual register Of our people
will acQuaint our enemies abroad with
our weakness"
Matthew Ridley, another opposing
member, added that his constituents
Cooked on the proposal as ominOus
and feared lest some public misfortune
or an epidemical distemper should fol-
low the numbering" However, the
bill passed the commons, only to be
promptly rejected by the lords. Not
until 1900 was the proposal again
made, and on this occasion it was
brought to a successful issue. The
first census Of England and Wales was
taken in March, 1SO1.-FOrtnightly Re-

ANCIENT SIGNALING.
The Method Invented by the Grecian
General IEneas.

The Method Invented by the Grecian
General Eneas.
The ancient Greeks and Romans
practiced telegraphy with the help Of
pots filed with straw and twigs satu-
rated in oil, which, being placed In
rows, expressed certain letters accord
ing to the order in which they We're
lighted. But the only one of their con-
trivances that merits a detailed de-
scription was that invented by Gre
clan general named Eneas. who flour
ished in the time of Aristotle. intended
for communication between the gen.
erals of an army.
1t consisted Of two exactly similar
earthen vessels filed with water. each
provided with a cock that would dis
charge an equal quantity of water in a
given time, so that the whole or any
part of the contents would escape In
precisely the same period from both
vessels.
On the surface Of each fiOated piece
of cork supporting an upright marked
into divisions, each division having q
certain sentence inscribed upon 1t.
One Of the vessels was placed at each
station, and when either party desired
to communicate he lighted a torch,
which he held aloft until the others did
the same, as sign that he was all at
tention.
On the sender Of the message lower
ing or extinguishing his torch each
party Immediately opened the cork Of
his vessel and so left it until the send
er relighted his torch, when 1t was at
once closed.
The receiver then read the sentence
on the division Of the upright that was
level with the mouth of the vessel and
which, If everything had been executed
with exactness, correspondent with that
of the sender and conveyed the desired
information.-Spare Moments.

u,,cL.mitbs and Machines.

The making of horseshoes by ma
chinery at first caused strike among
the blacksmiths. who refused to put on
the machine made shoes. but the work
was done so much more cheaply that
the machine shoes triumphed, and the
result was that owners Of horses, as
they got the shoes for less, had the
horses shod oftener than before, and
the black smiths did not lose much, II
any, work after all.

Whatever may be the experience

DANGERS OF FOOTBALL.
It Can Only Be Properly Played BY
GentIemen.

Football has always been a gentle
mans game. because no one but a gen
tleman can be trusted to play the game
honorably and fairly and with due re-
gard for the rights of his opponents.
The spirit OF the "slugger." in football
is the spirit of the thug and the as
sassin. and II is just as criminal to
kick an opposing player in the back
or jump on his body, or foul" him in
someother way, for the purpose of
winning the game or retaliating for
some unintentional injury. as 1t would
be to sandbag him In an alley to get
his watch and pure or to avenge an
injury.
The number of accidental injuries in
football is not large enough to warrant
giving up game that possesses mos.
valuable training features, which are
not possessed by any other game. But
the number of injuries that arise from
malice, or passion, or brutal indiffer-
tence to the rights of other players and
the courtesies of the game, is sufficient
to warrant the demand that the game
shall be played better. or not at all
No game can be ''just as good as
football" unless 1t makes the demands
upon self-control, courage, strength
and endurance that football makes.
Football is a game that should be
played by gentlemen, or 1t should not
be played at all. No boy has learned
the principle of football playing until
he has learned self control.
Present. day football Is dangerous
because 1t is dirty football. The only
kind Of football worth playing is clean

years ago experiments were com-
menced. and they are said to have

The experiments are unomciaily re-
ported to have shown that the differ-
ent stations on the line can at any
time communicate with a train run
ming at full speed and warn 1t Of I'm.
pending danger. The consular report
states further that 1t Is not expected
that the expense of supplying sta

necessary apparatus will be much be-
yond the budget allowed each year

EDUCATION ALONE NOT ENOUGH
Natural Ability Also Requisite In
Achievement Of Success.

The Belf-made man Is always a per.
son of brains. resourcefulness and
ambition. otherwise he would never
be heard of. He may lack the ad.
vantages of collegiate education, but
he leans in the school OF experience
aud thus becomes educated in those
things that are necessary to success.
The business world is full OF men to-
day-men who are known as cap
tairs of industry"-who never saw
Ihs inside of college or high
s,;hool. OF course. 1t is recognized
that, all things else being equal, the
man with the best education will
make the most rapid strides in ad-
vancement. But at the bottom there

the self-made man will not be past
