The Cost of the Census.

The next census Of the United States
is for the year 1910. and appropriations
for the cost of collecting the statistics
must be made by our next congress.
The director of the census has issued
his annual report to the secretary Of
commerce and labor and has asked for
an appropriation for the next fiscal
year of $14,000,O00. 1t Is estimated that
the actual cost of the census proper
will be $12,930,000, but the remainder
will be taken up in paying for the four
annual Investigations and the two BIZ
ennial reports.
The cost Of our last census, that of
1900, was $12,52O,OOO, and the director
believes that the count for 1910 can be
made at an increased cost of only
$410, 900. Formerly the cost Of taking
the census was increased so per cent
from decade to decade, so that an in
crease of $4,000 is remarkably low in
view of oar greatly enlarged popula-
ton. However,, there are several rea-
sons for this enormous saving-the
tabulating apparatus will be built by
the census bureau instead of renting
1t as heretofore, and the machines are
of greater speed and efficiency; the
operators of this machinery will be
paid by piece work, and, in the words
of the director, the fact that the office
is now organized at the highest point
of efficiency, that no time will be lost
in getting ready in testing the aptitude
Of green clerks and in developing new
systems, means fully q million dollars
saving in the organization of the thir-
teenth census. us."-Harpers Weekly.

BLAZED TREES.
The Way They Marked Forest Roads
and Boundary Lines.

The Way They Marked Forest Roads
and Boundary Lines.
Very few persons have any ade-
quate notion Of the meaning of the
phrase "blazed trail" as so often used
IN fiction having to do with the great
west.
In earlier days, when large portions
of the country were covered with for
ests and there were few roads, travel
was often only possible by way of paths
'blazed" through the woods. To blaze
in the woodsman's sense, Is to strike
chips from the sides Of trees, so that
the line of marks shall indicate the di-
rection Of the trail.
In blazing for path small trees were
marked, but in blazing for the bounds
Of lot or town or for farm line
larger trees were usually selected, the
blaze being made about breast high
When. however, as was often the case
the blazing was done in winter on deep
snow by men travelling on snowshoes
the mark was necessarily higher up
When such a line is travelled in the
summer, especially after some years
the marks are sometimes found high
up on the trunks and are likely to es-
cape the eye of the inexperienced. AS
many of them will also be partially
)vergrown, the task Of the surveyor
who goes over one of these old lines is
not always easy.
If the boundary line passes to the
left Of a tree selected for blazing the
cut is made upon the right side. II
the line goes to the right the tree Is
blazed upon the left side.
In running boundary at a corner
where two lines come together, either
monument" Is erected-a stake sup
ported by four bowlders-or a tree Is
blazed on all four sides to indicate as
nearly as possible the turning point
Of the line.
The permanency Of the record made
by blazing trees is quite remarkable
II is a matter Of fact that in many
cases of disputed lines or boundaries
of lots in forest lands the courts have
held the record Of the blazes as sufti.
cient and reliable where carefully drawn
plans and formally attested title deed:
have been set aside. The wound of &
blazed tree heals over but never sc
completely that the scar may not be
readily recognized by the experienced
woodsman: hence it follows that sc
long as the blazed tree escapes fire ant
the AK of the lumberman so long |,
remains a faithful record of the line
as surveyed. 1t will not lie, nor vii
argument or cross examination refute
it's testimony.
Blazed trees also fix dates almost
as accurately as they preserve bound
aries. The outer shell which ha:
grown over the scar is cut way, ant
the rings in the bark testify to the
number of years that have elapsed
since the blaze was made.-St, Pau

ALMOST AT REST.-A kind hearted,
but somewhat close fisted man who
was sorely afflicted with a conscience
came to a friend, holding a visiting
card in his hand. He looked deeply
troubled. Il know" said he, this man
wants to borrow money. know he
will drink it, What am to do?"
1T is perfectly simple" said the
friend. Send down word that you are
out"
Il cannot" he said. Il have never
told a lie in my life"
Then" said his friend, lend all
your money to me, and you can tell
him you haven't a penny in your
pocket"
After some hesitation the kind heart
cd man complied and, having seen his
caller. returned.
Well" asked his friend, ARE your
conscience and mind at rest?"
Not quite, man." he replied, but
they will be as soon as you have given
me my money back."-Bellman.

Tho Wild Man of Carcoar.

The most romantic occurrence in
Australia for some time past was the
capture and death a few weeks ago Of
the wild man of Carcoar."
In the district between the little towns
of Carcoar and Blayney, about $50
miles from Sydney, rumor had for
some years spoken Of certain hairy
man," who was regarded with some fear
by the people Of the lonely farms and
wayfarers in the bush. The man liv-
ed in hunt by a deserted creek, where
he was found by two policemen, suffer-
ing from bronchitis. After considerable
difficulty they captured him and took
him into Carcoar to be treated at the
hospital where he proved to be pc
culiar intractable patient, principally
because he thought the hospital staff
wished to cut off his enormous growth
of hair
When he appeared in Carcoar it was
difficult to believe that the hairy Great
ure nearly seven feet in height was a
human being. Hair hung from his
head in strands four feet long and pro-
fuse enough to cover the whole Of his
body. There were also innumerable
coils wound about his head. His hair
was as soft and as fine as silk, and
plated very neatly The hospital au-
thorties decided not to cut 1t off,
but they nevertheless had to call in
the aid of policemen to get him to take
a bath. He declared that bathing was
a shame and a delusion and that he had
not washed for years.
1t was discovered that his name was
Fitzgerald, that he was 72 years of age
and a miner. In his earlier days he
had been a great wrestler and was
proud of his giant-like strength. In his
hut was found a battle-aXe of iron
weighing thirty-siX pounds, with which
he intended to break the record of
Brian Boru, who at the battle of Clon-
tart had swung an axe weighing only
thirty pounds.
of Irish origin, was also 4 poet and
evidently came of a good family and
was well educated. One section Of pub
lie opinion considered he should not
have been disturbed in his haunts. but
the police captured him because he
was i'll both in body and mind. He
lived on ground corn and other kinds
of meal and when in the hospital re-
cit,
After two days in hospital Fitzgerald
was brought before the police court
and committed as person Of unsound
mind, and three days later, still refus-
ing to take stimulants, died of heart
failure. AS soon as ms capture was
made known offers from showmen
poured in, for all Australia Immediately
became curious 10 see the hairy man.
He however. disappointed the public
by dying.
Though obviously suffering from sew
eral strange delusions the man was
harmless and inoffensive and seems to
have desired only to live the simple
life" in the solitude of the bush His
motive for cutting himself off from
civilization may have arisen from a
marriage which, he said, had been ar
ranged but which had never taken
place. His long sojourn in the bush
had unhinged his mind.-Pall Mall Ca
zette.

DEVICES FOR BRlcKLAYERS.
Inventions Advance a Trade That Had
Been at Standstill.

Bricklaying as an art has remained
stationary for a long period of time.
The methods of the past are still in
vogue, according to Popular Mechanics,
and present practice varies but little
in the processes by which the oldest
brickwork now standing was laid.
Progress in bricklaying is therefore to
be more expected in the nature of
improvement of existing methods than
from attempt at radical change.
Two improvements recently made
along this line are noted with interest.
One is called the fountain trowel and
the other Is packet system of hand
ling the bricks.
The trowel Is a metal can, shaped
something like a Dutch wooden shoe.
The heel Is used to scoop up mortar
from the mortar box, and the toe has
4 long opening the entire width of the
can, though which mortar is poured
upon the brick This trowel or can
makes it possible to spread far
greater quantity of mortar within a

given time than the ordinary trowel,
and permits the bricklayer to use NOR
tar sufficiently soft to fill the joints
better not only because it runs down
into the untitled joints of the course
below, but also because it permits the
showing of the joints full of mortar in
the course that is being laid.
The packet is little wooden tray, 80
inches long and the width of a brick.
The bricks are placed on the packet,
face up, in two rows of ten each, a
weight of about 80 pounds. The whole
is placed on specially constructed
wheelbarrows and wheeled to the place
where the men are working. The pack
ct is then lifted from the wheelbarrow,
placed on the stock platform Of the
scaffold and pushed over to the brick
layer The bricklayer lifts the packet
and deposits it on the wall. The last
step, that of placing the bricks in the
wall, requires but the moving of arms
and hands.
Every one who has watched a brick
layer at work has noticed that he toss
es a brick about in his hand before
laying it. This is not mere play, but
the necessity of grasping it in such
fashion that he can lay its best face
for the face Of the wall With the
packet system the best face. IS always
upward, and the 5ricklayer is spared
this waste of energy and time. By the
ordinary methods it is necessary for
tie bricklayer to stoop over the scat
fold on which he stands and then
straighten up with no more work ac-
complished than lifting two bricks, an
other waste Of time and energy that
such a system as the packet makes un-
necessary.

SHE WAS a REAL ORAToR.-Senator
Beveridge, during a recent visit to
Portland, talked about oratory.
THE campaign" he said, has given
us oratory more remarkable for guam
tity than quality. True oratory is that
which brings results, is that which
converts an audience of enemies to ar
audience of supporters. Such oratory
is rare.
Il have a friend whose wife 'suf-
fragette' is great orator. Her
speeches from the platform are Won
derful, and her husband the other day
gave me an illustration of the eff
cheney of her private speeches.

afternoon he said and tried to sell
her a new wrinkle eradicator.'
And how did the man make out"
said l.

answer, with a gross Of bottles of

manufacture, that he had purchased
