THE CENSUS ENuMERAToRs.

The necessity for taking the census Is so little understood by the people that the census enumerator Is looked upon with suspicion and the inquiries as something to evasivefy meet if pos sfbIe. hence President Taft considered it necessary to address the people up- on this subject.
 It is a fact that the census enumer- sror asks no questions of nature necessarily embarrassing The infor- zaation imparted to him, as to indi- viduaIs. goes no farther. The answers given carry no responsibility with them as to taxation, military service, jury duty, school attendance, immigration, or the enforcement of any state or national 1aw-an of which proper in themselves, are anathema to persons who do not like that sort of thing. There need be no fear of disclosure regarding any individual or his affairs. So says the proclamation.
 All that the government desires is truthful information as to the number Of persons in this country, their station and relation in life, their nativity, etc.
 This work is to begin on the 18th of April The enumerator cannot be shut out, so it will become everybody to be good-natured and prompt and in a few minutes it will all be over. He has the government back of him and can compel every citizen to answer the questions submitted

Great Disasters.

Nature itself. with a power no human agency can thwart wrecks havoc and devastation in hum dreds Of eases. but hasrant defects in the protective appliances and devices are often to blame for many of the af- fictions we are called upon to suf- fer. Forward is the word in all in- dustrfal efforts. but in the hurry and rush to go forward many are apt to forget the after effects and conse0ue.- ces of half-accemp1ished work aNd criminal neglect. Protection of life and property too often come as a sec ondarv matter after loss has resulted from it's absence. It is human nature to think of progress first and r1rotec- ton when it gets ready.
 It is now practically acknowledged that the Cherry Mine horror need not have happened Other disasters of a similar nature in different parts of the country of recent occurrence might also have been les terrible and sweep ing. The avalanches in the mountains of the Northwest have been frightful in their sudden annihilation of life sweeping nearly hundred souls into eternity in the twinkling of an eye There can be protection against mine disasters. for it has been demon trated and there can also be protec- ton against avalanches by means of snowsheds and snowbreaks of mason ry.-Omaha Bee

MILLIONS FOR DENTISTRY.

The Boston man who proposes to furnish free dental service for all time to the students of the public schools of Boston between the ages of five and sixteen, has a practical mind and may in the end do as much for the benefit of mankind as the givers of other mil lions.
 Thomas A. Forsyth, a resident of Boston. plans to give $2.000,000 for the care of the teeth of that eity's school children. It is to be a perpetual foun- dation. A building is to be provided, equipped with all necessary modern apparatus, and presided over by a corps of the most expert dentists in the state. The institution will bear the distinction of being the most unique of it's kind in the country. The fund is without restrictions save those placed upon it by the corporation which will be in charge. The sole con- dition imposed on patients who apply for treatment is that they need it.
 This may be regarded as a freak philanthropy, but good teeth mean a great deal to the people both in the way of health and comfort. There are many people who cannot afford this expense that will be benefited by it, that the real advantage is inestimable. It means a more wholesome atmo- sphere for the school room and better ment in several directions.

Dress Protectors.

Most people are slow to realize the vast amount of harm which is done to ones dresses. especially when they are of pale, delicate co1ors, by allow ing them to hang in a wardrobe or cupboard. where the dust is sure to penetrate. and where, also. they ire ouently catch" in the hooks and trim naings of other dresses, and in that way get torn and shabby.
 Linen bags are useful in their way as dress protectors. but they often seem to crush and crumpIe the hens of the skirts. and it is awkward to get the dresses out of them.
 A suggestion from a clever woman is loosely hanging cover or wrapper. to be made in linen or brown holland, much in the shape of a large cloak, with a square yoke to fit closely, but not tightly, round the upper part of the skirt. This cover is kept in posi- ton by means of three buttons, so that it can be easily and quickly unfasten- ed. It has it's own separate loop. from which it hangs to the hook, so that <there will be no need to take the wrap per down from the wall when the dress is removed for wearing. The dress will, of course, hang from the hook in the ordinary way.

WILD MEAT FOR THE PEOPLE.

The proposition of Secretary Wilson that the people of New England raise antelope and deer upon the wild acres of these six states as a means of pro ducing cheaper meat, is not so seri ously regarded as it deserves to be- and is really not accepted, as a possi- bility. The Worcester Gazette, com menting upon this recommendation of the secretary of agriculture, says:
 We assume that the honorable sec retary is talking seriously. However, we wish to remark that his recommen- dation that the country turn to deer raising to make the wicked Beef trust grieye for it's manifold malefactions is in our opinion beautiful in theory, but abhorrent to contemplate in its practical application. venison is a delicacy, appetizer, Q sauce so to speak, q thing that serves but to lend variety and piquancy to the routine of the workaday bill of fare. It neveS was intended to be and venison never could be used as a steady diet.
 ''The ingenuousness with which Tama Jim suggests venison to a hun gry nation now dolorous in it's vail for cheaper meat, and proposes it as a substitute for what the aforesaid wick ed Beef trust has taken away, is akin to that ingenuousness of Marie An toinette. who, when the Paris mob howled for bread outside the walls of Versailles, comp1acently suggested, there being no bread in the palace; that somebody have the kindness to give the mob cake"
 There is no doubt that the people would brave1y face this diet if it were possible to furnish it. New England has not had all the venison it wanted for several generations, Ind it could accomplish, perhaps, what Secretary Wilson aims at, as a delicacy which the people would be glad to get oc-
