United States, and Uncle Sam is go.
Ing to pay 100000 for the service.
These enumerators. appointed by $3.50
supervisors throughout the country,

Between the time Of their appoint
ment and the commencement of actual
work, the enumerators will be
schooled In the method of enumera.
ton and the preparation of the
schedules. The custom heretofore has
been for the census bureau to send
out sample schedules for the enumer.
ators to fill in.
For the last two months econo-
mists. scientists and farming experts
have been at work on schedules in.
yolving population. manufactures, and
particularly agriculture. 1t is esti.
mated by the census bureau that fully
100000 farms will be enumerated
with population of more than 12,.
100000 to be collected by the emu
merators.

Unique Thimble Party.

We belonged to thimble club OF
ten members. and once month one
of us gave an afternoon to which each
member asked a guest, making party
OF 20. At the affair wish to describe
for your department readers the
hostess had five tables with the fol-
lowing stunts to be accomplished:
First, to see who could sew on the
most buttons in the time allotted; sec
ond, to see who could sew on the
most lace: third. tho best buttonhole
In FIVE minutes: fourth. the best patch.
work square; fifth. the neatest hem
In the square OF cheese cloth. We
played partners, the two best progress
ing. We were all given wee baskets
with silk bag tops attached and the
markers were buttons. hooks and
eyes. spools of thread. steel bodkins,
etc. There were prizes of needle
books. scissors and spool cases filled.

LAVE you ever sat under the benign
IL shade of Washington's wishing
tree!
1t has been one of the unique at
fractions of Lafayette park for, 10.
these many years. 1t is not described
in the Official guide books. but it is
there just the same. and has been ever
since the square was laid out-in the
forties. The tree itself is n dwarf
chestnut. although 1t has grown out of
its dwarfness to great extent. 1t
is scion Of the famous wishing tree
in Hyde park. London. 1t is located
Immediately west of the Jackson
statue. about rs feet. and is in full
sight Of all the windows on the north
side Of the White House.
The wishing tree. as its name indi.
Gates. possesses rare powers, or at
least II is supposed to. in that every
wish that Is made under its branches
comes true some time or other. Gen.
orally 1t is other. but that does not
seriously interfere with the reputation
of the tree.

Throughout the house there will be

When all the goods are set In place
the legation will be- unique. and one

the Illusion that he IL entering n home
In some far eastern land.
Every article In the collection has
some highly priced association to the
minister personally. or TO his family.
and his household goods. he says. are
priceless.

A new story about Napoleon Is
necessarily doubtful; the probability
is that II is simply so old that 1t has
been forgotten. However, here is one
that Arthur NJ. Chuquet prints In
L'opinion as never before published
1t relatesto Napoleon and Butcher.
The emperor received the general
at the castle of Finkenstein. while he
was preparing for the siege of Danzig
He drew him to n window in an upper
story and paid him compliments OIL
his military gifts. and Butcher. going
away delighted. described the inter
view to his aide-de-camp. What d
chance you missed" exclaimed the
latter.
You might have changed the whole
course of history"
How"
why, you might have thrown hin
out OF the window"
"Confound IT," replied Butcher. IS,

"PuzzIe" Announcement Party.


Quite recently hostess used pux-
Gle pictures to announce the engage
ment of the guest of honor. The club
to which the young couple belonged
were invited and as no one suspected
the news that was to be revealed, the
affair was entirely successful.
Tables and puzzles were arranged
so that four persons worked together,
the hostess explained that when the
six tables had completed their puz-
zles very interesting story would be
woven from the pictures: that prize
would be awarded to the one who first
guessed the story. The first picture
put together showed boy and girl
with map upon which there were
two states. Maine and Ohio; the sec.
ond puzzle revealed man and a girl
dancing with the words yale" and
"Vassar."
Then the third picture was n poser
Star liner the fourth puzzle was a
Pullman train marked California
Limited" The fifth was scene in a
park, with couple sitting under the
trees, and the sixth was bride and
groom walking up the aisle over
which We're the initials of the young
couple.
The prize was large box of con
fettl with which the pair were duly
showered. Congratulations followed
and every one was delighted. The
hostess had painted some of the pic
lures, pasted them on thin sheets OF
wood and boy friend cut them on,
on his jig saw. Post cards, advertise
ments and magazines furnished the
others.
A delicious salad Of canned aspara

Uncle Sam Urges Campaign on Rodents

However valuable cats may be aa
mouscrs. few Of them learn TO catch
rata. The ordinary house cat Ii too
well fed and consequently too lazy to
undertake the capture of amy animal
as formidable as the brown rat. Birds
are much more TO It's liking.
Rats have developed 30 much intel.
ligence and such extraordinary caution
that attempts TO extcrminate t;icm
have rerely succeeded. The fai.eres
have been due not 80 much TO n lack
OF effective methods M n lack Of Ger.
tain precautions and absence OF con.
certcd action"

sizes the importance Of rat clubs and
suggests that interest In organized ra,
hunts may be stimulated by Offering
prizes or rewards In various commu.
mites to the individual hauling forth
the greatest number Of dead rats after

Pamphlets dealing with the rodent
problem aud suggestive OF ways Ia

An old custom, which is now a new
one, is that of marking brides silver
with the first initial of the bride
groom's first or Christian name. and
the brides two initials, with the
initial of the bridegroom's last
name, thus: Surprising the man
to be John Smith and the
bride Anna Edgar" the fiat silver
would all be engraved ~" and "A.
4. s." Silver marked this way is
shown by lady who will soon cele.
brate her fortieth anniversary. and
she says it was the custom of the
largest eastern jewelers. to mark all
wedding silver in this way unless spe-
cially instructed otherwise. Many
brides of to-day seem to prefer their
wedding gifts to be marked with the
initial which they have every right to
expect will be theirs for life. But all
bridal linen, both personal and for
household use, is marked with the
brides monogram or her initials. VIII
all prospective brides take this as a
bit of personal information?

wi ID. C. was the simple label
neatly stamped on an immense box
which caused no little curiosity and
speculation as to its contents as II
passed slowly through the streets OF
that city on its way to the abode OF
the new Swiss minister.
The minds OF the spectators were
set at ease by Paul Ritter. the Swiss
minister. when he told them that the
box contained furniture. and that
there were 10 more coming.
Furniture and house furnishings
collected by Mr.. Ritter during the Is
years OF his diplomatic career In the

Wishing Tree Where Wishes Come True

There were more believers in the
tree some years ago than there are
now, but that does not mean that
there are not great many who be-
lieve in 1t to-day. Nor is the number
by any means confined to the old
"mammies," "aunties" and other black
folk. Ninety-nine per cent of the
persons who pass under the tree on
their way through the square probably
never heard or read of it. But there
are others. and in this case there are
great many others.
The most marvellous stories are told
about the tree. and many of the
stories have believers. Also many OF
stories have some element of truth
about them. In many cases It is a
great deal of story and very min.
ute particle of truth. But 1t is be.
cause there is some truth In them
that the tree has such a clientele.
/ Faith does not cure all the ills that
1t is asked to cure, but its followers
are sure that It cures in some In.
stances. Hence there are faith cures.
The thousands of wishes that are
made under the wishing tree may end
up in only one coming true. brt the
wisher who has been rewarded by Its
favor never loses an opportunity to
sing its prasises. and that is what
makes the wishing tree SO much more
famous than any OF the other trees
that are in the same park.
