The Census Bureaus h. structions to Enumerators on This Point.

Washington, Fem. 19.-The explicit and lengthy printed instructions to the census enumerators, give a c'ears idea of the character of the answers expect ed from the people with regard to the questions in the population schedule.
 All answers gre to have reference solely to the Census Day." which is April 15. Persons living on that day, but who died after it and before the enumerators call, are to be counted, but persons born after April 15 are not to be included in the count. Persons who were single on April 15 are to be reported as single, even though they have married subsequently and before the canvasser has called. This is true, similarly, of persons who became wid- owed or divorced after April 15.
 The census law provides that all persons shall be enumerated at their usual place of abode on April 15. This means the place where they may be said to live Or belong or the plac which is their home. As rule. the us- ual place of abode is not the place where a person works or where he eats, but where he regularly sleeps. The enumerators are cautioned, how ever that where a man happens to sleep at the time of the enumeration
 may not be the place where he regu- larly sleeps.
