CENSUS SUPERVISOR

1.-The simple test which candl-
dates for enumerators' places will
undergo February does not take
away the supervisors right under
the census law to designate suitable
persons for such positions,p said
Supervisor of Census Pprrault at
Boise.
alt is designed to aid the super
visors in the exercise of that discre-
tIon aud TO enable the census direc-
tor intelligently to use the power of
approval of the supervisors designa-
tion conferred upon blm by law.
"All persons, unless specifically
disqualified, are entltled 10 apply to
take the test. Only those under l8
year of age and over 20, and those
who have not become citizens of the
United States, are barred. Other
wise, all persons, regardless of sex
and political affiliations, are eligible.

republican party, that is, those real.
ly in favor of prohibition under the
law, will be arrayed on the other
side.
fThe democratic party is not suf.
fciently alive yet TO begin making
noise, but it is safe to say when 1t
opens its drowsy eyes it will find Its
followers align ed in very much the
same way. Those opposed to the
local option law and prohibition
under it, will be found ron one side,
and those in favor of the law and in
favor Of prohibition under 1t, will
be found on the other side.
"The FIRST great battles will be
fought out in the primaries where
people in this state, for the first
time, will walk up to the polls and
cast a ballot representing their
actual personal convictions upon Q
question at issue, instead of voting
their party convictions. That Is,
republicans will have = right to say
directly whether they want men as
candidates on their tickets who fav.
or given policy or whether they
favor candidates who oppose that
policy or favor some other. The
like opportunity will be afforded
democratic voters in their primaries.
"After that the question will be
up to those who were defeated to
determine whether they shall follow
the majority of the party or vote
with the oposition party"

PUBLIC LIBRARY
RECEIVES AID

v Through the efforts of two or
three business men, y no were inter-
,es1ed in seeing the free public lib
rrafy kept up, sufficient donation
has been subscribed by the mer-
chants and few other citizens to
pay the rent of the library rooms
for one year and leave little sur
plus for the purchase OF new books.
This is a most commendable act up
on the part OF those who subscribed
the small sum of so cents mouth
and the only surprising thing is
that any business man should have
refused to help along such worthy
rinstitution.
The library was instituted by the
Village Improvement society about
three years ago and while that So
ciety has been practically defunct
for year or more, Two or three of
the members have kept the library
open and by hard struggle have
managed to prOvlda funds with
which to pay rent and add new
books occasionally. They had, how
ever, about reached The point where
they could no longer devise ways
and means of keeping up the ex-
penses, and were OIL the verge OF
closing the library or moving it to
some less expensive aud less con.
venient place, when the men refer

ladies and started TIN subscription

pEcHuRcHED DISTRICTS.

This is what they have in New Hampshire. and doubtless have in all other states This is a big country and it's religious needs are sufficient to attract our attention and absorb all our loose change. The following par agraph appeared in the Boston Tran script the other days:
 'Dechurched districts is a term employed in a report to the recent conference of Congregational churches of New Hampshire descriptive of To- calities where the gospel is not prea ched. There are discoverable in that state, as we learn from the pro- districts having ten to twenty fami- lies which are entirely outside church and religious influences. These are at such distances from any active church as to make visits from it's pastors i'm practicable. The committee which con- sidered this field waiting for the mis- sionaries recommended intensive cul- ttvation,' to be supplemented during the winter months by stated visits at arranged intervals This picture of the churchless condition of communities remote from established pulpits is an effective plea for diverting to them a portion of the large stream of contri- buttons that flow toward the .heathen' of Asia and Africa"
 This revelation is worthy the sin cere consideration of those who are striving to evangelize the world, for we certainly should rescue from hea- thenism those of our own household.

HEALTH-MENA POSTAGE
 STAMPS.

A British scientist is alarmed about the germs he has found upon the ev- eryday postage stamp, organisms which bode the lappers and lickers of stamps no good. A London paper says:
 People often buy single stamps at the postoffices and touch them with their dirty hands upon the counter; organisms are thus left on the counter for the next customer to take up. AL ways refrain from licking your stamps, therefore"
 Two sets of stamps were submitted to incubator treatment; and a few hours later both sets of stamps were found to bear noxious organisms, but those previously exposed to moist air contained five times as many the others The examination indicated that typhoid and scarlet fever were the diseases most liable to be com municated by stamps, although in the gum were also found staphyIococci or grape-Iike clusters of bacteria, which under favorable conditions might cause blood poisoning.
 And these germs are found in the air and on the human breath and whiskers and hands, and the mortal ity holds to its average and none of ened now. Germs appear to be just as natural to the air as spores and pollen and other microscopic objects over which we have no control and of which we have little knowledge.

Few who love the horse, one Of mans most obdeient, most helpful, most pa- tient and most forgiving four-footed servans and companions, can read un- moved the following touching appeal for kindness on his behalf. We ask that every member of our Bands of Mercy who is old enough to read care- fully, preserve it and at times call the attntion of their class and playnates to it:
 THE HORSES PRAYER.
 To Thee, My Master. offer my pray CT: Feed me, water and care for me, and when the days work is done, pro- vide me with shelter, a clean, dry bed. and a stall wide enough for me to lie down in comfort.
 Always be kind to me. Talk to me. Your voice often means as much to me as the reins. Pet me som etimes, that I may serve you the more gladly and learn to love you Do not jerk the reins and do not whip me when going up hill Never strike, beat or kick me when I do not understand what you want, but give me chance to under stand you. Watch me, and if I fail to do your bidding, see if something is not wrong with my harness or feet.
 Do not check me so that I cannot have the free use Of my head. If you insist that wear binders, so that I cannot see behind me, as it was in tended I should. I pray you be careful that the binders stand well out from my eyes.
 Do not overload me or hitch me where water will drip on me. Keep me well shod. Examine my teeth when I do not eat; may have an ul- cerated tooth, and that, you know, is very painful. Do not tie my head in an unnatural position, or take away my best defense against files and mos quitoes by cutting off my tail.
 I cannot tell you when I am thirsty, so give me cool, clean water often. Save me by all means in your power, from that fatal disease-the gIanders I cannot tell you in words when I am sick; so watch me, that by signs you may know my condition. Give me all possible shelter from the hot sun, and
