The Noise Habit.

A personal experience first showed
the writer the possibility of state
of affairs where the habit of noise
could become as fixed as the habit Of
a drug. Waking one night in the
quiet of a country-house far from 9TH
er habitations, I suddenly heard the
starting of the hot-air engine which
pumped the water, chug-chug-chug-
chug. 1 lay listening to its monoton-
GUS vibrations, and wondering at the
unusual hour for pumping, until 1 fell
asleep. The next night the sound was
repeated. On mentioning the matter
to my host, he confessed that he could
not sleep in the quiet of the country,
that the sudden change from the roar
of a great city to the silence Of the
woods was SO great as to cause him
real suffering. AS his only way to
rest, he would leave the house in the
middle of the night, start up the
pump, and, lying down in a nearby
hammock, find sleep brought him by
the lullaby of the hot-air engine. That
man recognized that he had the noise
habit, and finally conquered it.-Hollis
Godfrey In The Atlantic.

ARD punching and tabulat
ulating methods which will
greatly reduce the margin
of statistical error in the
~ compilation of the thir-
teenth census population
oata have been adopted by Director
T.. Dana Durand.
The card punching machines to be
used at the present census differ very
radically from those employed before,
and will, it is believed, not only in
crease the rapidity of the work but
tend to reduce the number of errors
on the part of the clerks doing the
punching. With the old punching ma
chine, II an error was made in a sin
gle item, even though it might be the
last item to be punched on the card,
the entire card had to be destroyed
This consumed time and also resulted
in temptation to the operator to let
the error go uncorrected.
With the machines now to be used.
no hole is punched in the card until
the keys for all the facts to be punch.
ed have been set, and if the opera
tor makes mistake by depressing the
wrong key, he can correct it before
the card is punched. It was not found
possible at the last census to check
all of the cards back to the schedules,
and 1t will probably not be feasible to
do so at this census. Part of the
cards punched by each operator are
selected at random and compared
back, and If any appreciate percen.
tage Of error Is discovered in those
thus compared the other cards punch
by the same operator are likewise
compared.
The semi-automatic electrical tabu.
lating machines to be used at the pres.
emit census will also result, it Is be-.
lieved, in material increase of rapid.
ity and reduction Of errors. This Is
principally brought about by the fact
that the results Of the count for each
unit of area are automatically printed,
whereas, formerly, they were regis.

to be taken and recorded by hand.
The reading of these dials took a large

Dear Sir: There are thousand of peo-
pie saying: That's what call good
job Of paint, it has worn three years.
I'm going to repaint before it needs it;
three years is enough"
Those people are long way behind
the times. There are two reasons for
painting; those people know only one;
they are thinking only of wear; of keep
ing-out water. Three years may be too
long for the looks of paint; it isn't half
long-enough to wear. If all you want
of paint is to keep-out water, Devoe is
good for dozen years in average places.
And that isn't all.
The cost of the job is the first thing
to think of, and, if you think of it right,
you needn't bother with wear.
The paint that takes least gallons
makes the least bill for both paint and
painting; people forget the labor bill;
it's the biggest billin the job. Agallon
saved is about $5. Five gallons saved
is $25. The paint that saves gallons -
that's the pant to wear.
Geo. w. Brown, Union, S. c., paint
ed A. G.. Arthur's house there twelve
years ago with 80 gallons; repainted fl, e
years ago lead-and- oil with 25 gallons:
last year Devoe with Ia gallons. There s

what he paid for that 30-gallon stuff;
no matter.
