President Jefferson Davis, which with
other valuables was sto,el from his
person by the Federal brigands who
arrested him, and it has not since been
heard of. Two United States silver dol

All Of us will soon have a
visit from the census taker,
and we bespeak for him
kindly treatment, because his
task is a very important one
but quite far from being easy.
He will have a great many
questions to ask you which at
first blush may appear imper
tient but nevertheless they
are pertinent to the work he
has to do, and should be pat
iently answered. THE idea
that all a census taker has to
do is to find out how many
people there are in the Unit
ed States is an erroneous
one, because the Census
Bureau gathers and complies
a great variety of statistics
and the result is rather accu-
rate.

weeks confined to my bed. During

the first bath with Cuticura SOAP and
application of Cuticura Ointment en-.
Joyed the first good sleep during my
entire illness. I also used Cuticura
Resoivent and the treatment was con.
'tinued for about three weeks. At the
END OF that time I was able to be

years past In experiments with kites formed from
tetrahedral cells and who has latterly designed
man-lifting kite that has made some wonderful
performances. has included wireless telegraphy q
one branch Of his kite Investigations For this
teiegraphic work he has employed kite of com

kite, and these have usually been flown at height
OF about 1000 feet The kites carry aloft tele-
graphic equipment in the form Of ordinary green

wire The telegraph operator IL stationed close by
the reel Of piano wire-the point from which the
kite is sent up.

The original kite messages via the ARTIFICIAL birds
sent aloft BY DR.. Bell were transmitted distance
OF only SIX miles, but gradually this was increased
until the transmission attained hundreds of miles

steamers more than 100 miles at sea- In one ex-
pertinent the telegraph operator caught the mes

who stood at the side Of the receiving instrument
The men clasped hands and one grasped the teIe.
