Some New. old Games.


Here are some very old games, but
| am sure they will be brand.new to
many of our young readers. The first

Ing the line unbroken. for II the line
should be broken IL Is equal to the
tail being caught and that unlucky
person must become the catcher while
the last named goes to the head of
the line.
Now for the second game. called
Feather Play" II is very amusing,
although 1t sounds so simple. All the
players are seated on the floor, having

a sheet held close up to the chinsSof
the players on the floor. A feather Ia

the children or directly In front of a

The feather must not be touched by
the hands OF the children on the floor
nor must they rise from the floor:
their hands must be kept under the
sheet, all manipulations OF the feather
being done by blowing.

into the bath. Some of the animals
are so reluctant to leave the water
that the stablemen have to drive them
out. One old mule that has drawn a
car for years. absolutely declines to
leave the pool inside of ten minutes.
Directly over the bath runs a per-
forated pipe. When the stablemen
think the mules have been in the wa
ter long enough. the water is run
through this pipe. and the four-legged
bathers get fine shower bath. One
of the foremen recently told me that

who was a census authority greater than
any other living or dead, once wrote that

mating the cost Of the tenth census.
It's the old story: When you are Ill
get the best doctor you can afford
The comparative cneapness with which
the thirteenth census has been taken was
largely due to Director e. Dana Durand's eco
nomical methods, to the introduction of semiau.
tomato electrical card-punching, tabulating
and sorting machines, and to the inheritance
Of wisdom from the experience gained by the
permanent census bureau. During the term of
the latter the methods Of inquiry, tabulation and
compilation have been greatly improved. both
in accuracy and in economy Millions will be
saved.
Mr. Durand is responsible for many Of the
new methods to increase statistical accuracy
at every step Of the census taking and to de-
crease the per capita cost of the enumeration.
The cardpunching, tabuating. and sorting ma
chinery Is the invention Of a census mechani-
cal expert and the patent rights belong to Uncle
Sam. The machines are novel in plan and de-
those they superseded. and can be built and
operated at large saving Of money as COM
pared with previous expenditures for this pur.
pose.
Other money-saving features are the elimi.
nation of the vitalstatistics inquiry from the
work of the decennial census, as II belongs to
the permanent branch OF the United States
census; the reduction in the number of SEIZED.
ules. the pece-prfce method Of paying for ma
chine work. the omission of the hand, house
hold and neighborhood industries from the
manufactures branch of the census. and the
reduction of the size and number of copies of
the final report.
Congress limited the thirteenth census to
four general subjects-population, agriculture.
manufactures. and mines and quarries. The d.
rector is authorized to determine the form and
subdivision of inquiries. The inquiry as to
population relates to. the date April Is, 1910;
that as to agriculture concerns the farm opera
tions during 1909 and calls for an inventory of
farm equipment April 15, 1910: that relative to
manufactures and quarries is for 1909

Special agents were sent out with the SEIZED

data There we're fully $4,000 enumerators, of
whom about $4,000 carried both the population
and agriculture schedules. as 1t is estimated
that there are now fully 100000 separate
farms In America, with farmers numbering
well up into score of millions. In 1910 there
were many more billions of dollars of fixed
capital invested in agriculture than there were

was no end to the suffering for MN.
We had to tie his little hands to
keen him from scratching. He never
