CENSUS REPORT.

Corrected census returns for the
county We're forwarded to the secretary
of state at Madison by County Clerk
Schaffland last Friday pursuant to the
statute which requires that the report
must be filed on or before August 90.
The report sent to the state department
is incomplete, because of the failure of
Cato to make returns, the delay being
due to the enumerator' illness. In 1900
the population of Cato was l143 and,
assuming that there has been no gain,
the population of Manitowoc county
under the census will be A. 1SS. This
number will, it is likely, be either slight
ly increased or decreased when the re-
turns from Cato have been received
The report sent to the secretary of state
with Cato omitted, shows IL population
of 43, 045 The returns us received by
the county clerk showed population of
43, 003, but errors were discovered which,
when corrected increased this number
by A. making the total, exclusive of
Cato, l3, 0i5.
The county exclusive of Catol has
$, 800 men available for military duty
and 22G old soldiers OF the last men
toned number the city of Manitowoc
has 81 and Two Rivers II. This city has
2GlS men who are capable of military
service. This would make two and GlS
thousandths regiments, while thecounty,
including the city, could muster fully
eight and one half regiments.

Total


The cost of making the enumeration
in the county will he about $1,000, which
will be paid by the state but the enumer-
ators will not receive .heir checks until
October l. In the country towns the
compensation of the enumerators is ~ per
hundred, but in the cities the allowance
is only 81 30 per 100, Later The re
turns from the town of Cato were re-
ceived Monday afternoon by County
Clerk Schailland. The population of
Cato is l1S2, as against 1143 five years
ago. There ale 39l men available for
military duty and six old soldiers in the
town. The county has II total of S,S33
men who could be mustered for the
militia, and 232 old soldiers The total

THE WEARING OF SHOES.
A Custom That Is Almost as Old as
the Race Itself.

the Race Itself.
What is regarded as the earliest ref
erence to shoes is found in the Old
Testament where Abraham refuses to
take as much as a shoe latchet from
the king of Sodom. Among the Jews
the shoe played an important part in
many social usages. When buying or
selling land 1t was customary to de-
liver shoe, and the act of throwing
down shoe on territory implied occu-
pancy. The finding of sandals on
Egyptian mummies proves that the
wearing of shoes is almost as old as
the race itself. In Venice In the seven
teenth century every lady of any pre-
tension to fashion or position wore
what were called "choppines," high
clogs or pattens, to elevate them from
the ground. Thomas Coryat, traveller
who visited Venice in 1911, says Of
them: "They are so common in Venice
that no woman goeth without either
In her house or abroad. 1t is thing
made Of wood and covered with leath-
er in sundry colors- some white, some
red, some yellow. Many of them are
curiously painted; some also of them
have l seen fairly gilt. There are
many of these chapineys of great
height-even half yard Highland by
how much the nobler woman is by so
much the higher are her chapineys.
All their gentlewomen and most Of
their wives and widows that are Of
any wealth are assisted or supported
either by men or women when they
walk abroad, to the end that they may
not fall. "-Chicago News.

SERPENT EATING SNAKE.
A VenOmOus Reptile That VIII At

A VenomOus Reptile That VIII At
tack Man or Beast.
The serpent eating snake, or king of
serpents (Ophiophagus elaps) found in
Burma, is among the most interesting
of our venomous snakes and the only
really aggressive member of the ophid-
ians, readily attacking any man or
animal that happens its way. The
female is especially irritable during
the season of modification, and an
adult snake attains a length of from
twelve to fifteen feet, is superlatively
swift and active and possesses poison
fang three inches in length and charg-
ed with very powerful venom. II
will be admitted that Ophiophagus
elaps, Naia bungarus or serpentivore,
as it is also called, is foe that had
better be avoided.
While being neither an arboreal nor
a water snake, the Ophiophagus elaps
climbs trees with facility and takes to
water readily, swimming with great
ease and skill. rs poison is as deadly

snake (the Ophiophagus elaps also car
ries hood, the cobra, but it is believ-
ed that the action of the venom is not
quite so rapid.
The shortest period within which it
proved fatal to a fowl was fourteen
minutes, while dog expired in two
hours and eighteen minutes. Nichol-
son relates an account of an elephant
which succumbed to bite in three
hours.-Amrita Bazaar Patrika.

GEOMETRY IN BATTLE.

How Marlborough Won His Great
Victory at Families.
The genius of Marlborough seized up
on the simple fact that the arc is great
er than its chord when he won his
great victory at Families. The French
army under Villeroi was posted in an
arc on ridge of hills. Their left ex-
tended to the village of Autre Eglise
and owing to the steepness of the hills
and the river and marsh in front was
In an almost impregnable position.
Their forces swept round on the top of
the ridge till they reached on the ex-
IRENE right height behind the village
of Families known as the Tomb of OF
tamond.
Marlborough saw that this height was
the key to the position. He first made
vigorous feint on Autre Eglise and
so caused the French generals to hurry
In person to that point Then he moved
large bodies of troops rapidly and Sc
cretly along the chord of the arc and
carried the position on the French right
before Villeroi had time to bring up re-
endorsements by the longer line of the
curve.
This is easily understood when 1t is
remembered that the chord Of an arc is
a straight line joining the extremities
Of an arc or two points in a curve

A celebrated English surgeon asserts
that the japanese "have no nervous
system" and that nerves." as west
ern nations know the term, is untrans-
latable in Japan. This invites a refer
ence to the significant history of the
words nerve" and nervous" A
nerve" by derivation from Greek and
Latin and by earlier English use, is
really a sinew. When Pope speaks of
nervous arms" he means exactly the
'brawny arms" of the village black
smith, and this sense survives meta
phorically In nervous style Of writ
ing" which is very different from a
''neurotic" one. Shakespeare used
'nervy" in the same sense. But now
that nerves" no longer mean sinews
nervous" in the common use has al
most reversed its old meaning. In DIR.
Johnson's time nervous" in the mod
ern sense was still only medical can't"
Now men of nerve" are very different
from men of nerves.

OBESITY A DISEASE.
Vigorous Measures For It's Reno,
Should Re Taken.

Vigorous Measures For Its Removal
Should BE Taken.
At middle age certain organs lose
functional activity and shrink and
waste away, demanding less blood and
nerve energy This decreased need for
nutrition, If not needed, will result In
taking into the body more food than
can be oXidized and used either to
build up tissue or for the generation of
heat and energy. The result is kid
neys, liver and other excretory organs
are overworked in the effort to remove
the body wastes and become diseased,
says writer in the HouSekeeper Then
nature stores up this foul material in
the form Of fat in all the lymph spaces,
between the fbers of the muscles and
in every other odd corner in the body
where it can be slowed away. In time
this lifeless, useless structure of fat
crowds out muscle, gland and other
normal tissues and takes their place.
This Is what Is known as fatty degen-
GRAFTON and always shortens life, end
ing often in sudden death from heart
failure, apoplexy, diabetes or kidney
disorders
The prevention of obesity means reg
ulation of diet, especially in middle life
and when changing from an active out
of door occupation to sedentary in
door life. Often the amount of food
should be cut down from one-fourth to
one-half, especially avoiding fats and
sweets, also soft foods, which tend to
gormandizing from deficient mastica-
ton and too hasty eating. No wine,
beer or alcoholic drink or tea or coffee
should be used. At meals even the use
of water should be restricted Exer-
else should be taken in the open air
and deep breathing practiced to in
crease the intake of oxygen and burn
up and oxidize bodily toxic matter.
For those women who are overstout,
yet retain a fair amount of physical
vigor, the day should begin with a cold
bath, plunge, spray, cold towel rub or
sponge bath, after which should be TAX
en- active exercise in the form of work,
either in the open air or In well ven
tilated room, horseback riding, bicy-
cling or a brisk walk for an hour or
more. Exercise in a well ventilated
gymnasium may be substituted for the
out of door, but is not so effective and
invigorating.

WILLS OF LUNATIcs.
The Queer Bequests That Are Mad
hv Insnnn Peranna

The Queer Requests That Are Made
by Insane Persons.
One of the manias which are evil
denced by the insane is desire to
make a will. OF course these docu-
ments are waste paper as far as their
legality is concerned, but the attend
ants and doctors treat these documents
with the greatest respect in order to
humor the demented creatures.
Some of these wills would be anus
ing If 1t were not for the sad condition
of mind of which they are the outcome.
One man confined in an asylum left all
his money to the mikado of Japan on
condition that this dignitary should Wis
1t the grave of the testator once each
year and plant chrysanthemums upon
it. The remainder of the estate was to
be handed over to an imaginary charity
called the Brotherly Love and Bounty
society.
Another lunatic in Partisan asylum
left will devising the whole of his es-
tate to the possessors of Roman noses
residing in and near Paris. The rea-
sui AoA IiAS was tHHI HO Aou AdSACk a
handsome nose of this shape and was
constantly admiring it. A similar be-
quest was that of patient who left his
property to an attendant because he
possessed one of the ugliest nasal or
gans the testator had ever seen.
One man, who was afflicted with the
mania that he was sane, but confined
in the asylum unjustly, devised a will
leaving his money to the commission
ers Of lunacy to enable them to engage
a large staff of men for the purpose Of
visiting asylums and ascertaining If
any were confined in them without rea-
son.-New York Times.

Thoreau was not the first American

diffused itself through American life,

manent influences in that life. He

which flow restoring streams Of health,

permanent are lost In his agile and virile

DRAWING FINE WIRE.
Diamond Dies Are Used, Steel Not
Being Hard Enough.

Diamonds are used quite extensively
as dies for drawing wire of the small
est sizes-for instance, the sizes less
than, say, twenty-five -thousandths
Of an inch diameter.
The hardest steel dies are not suitable
for this work for the reason that the
wear upon them so enlarges the die
that the diameter of the wire is not uni
form within the required percentage of
variation at the beginning and end of
drawing. Sapphires are used some
times for this work. Copper, silver and
platinum are the metals usually drawn
to the very small sizes.
With diamond dies it is practicable
to draw platinum to a diameter of five
ten-thousandths of an inch. An idea
Of the fineness of copper wire drawn
to only three one-thousandths of an
inch in diameter may be gathered from
the fact that in one pound of the metal
there are over six miles Of such wire.
The weight of the diamonds used for
this work is from Your to five carats,
and they are uncut except as to the die.
The value of these dies, which, of
course, are not of the first water, va
ries from SIS to 500 carat, and sew
eral hundred thousand dollars worth
of diamonds are utilized as dies in the
various wire factories of this country

1t is often very desirable to know
how to seal a letter so that it cannot
be opened without betraying the fact.
Steam or hot water will open envelopes
closed with 'mucllage and even wafer.
A hot iron or spirit lamp dissolves
sealing wax, an impression in plaster
having been taken Of the seal By the
combined use of wafer and sealing
wax, however, all attempts to open the
letter otherwise than by force can be
frustrated. All that is necessary is to
close the letter first with a small moist
wafer and to pierce the latter with a
coarse needle (the same applies to mu-
cilage), whereupon sealing wax may be
used In the usual manner This seal
can neither be opened by dry heat nor
by molsture.-Chicago News.
