Washington.-As a part of the task
Of compiling the thirteenth census Of
the United States, the bureau will pub
fish a report on the various occupa-
lions by which men and women in this
country earn their daily bread. Though
it will be many months before this re-
port will be given to the public, a
conservative estimate places the num-
Der of cla~ssifcations of industry at
between 1000 and 5000.
1t seems a safe prediction to state
that there will be found but one man
in the entire country making a living
from bottling the smoke Of burning
hickory wood. This man, who lives
in Kansas City, contends that his bot
tied smoke, let loose in an air tight
compartment in which meat has been
placed, will produce the same effect
hickory smoke in the usual manner.
Nor would the uninitiated expect to
find profit in raising bullfrogs for their
legs. Two New Jersey women, how
ever, are making a good livelihood by
so doing and a certain California wom-
an obtains over 800 an ounce whole
sale for the seeds of petunias.

Indianapolis, Ind.-The game OF
hide and seek with a Deputy SneriH
as the seeker and Frank M. Ryan,
President of the international Assoc
citation of Bridge and Structural iron
Workers, and Detective w. }. Burns
as the sought, came to a partial end
when Deputy Sheriff Sloan served q
subpoena on Burns to appear before
the Grand Jury.
Burns had just stepped into the
court room of John F. Manning, JUS
tice of the Peace, to answer a charge
Of kidnapping John J. Mcnamara
Secretary-Treasurer of the ironwork-
ers' association, indicted for COM
plicity in the dynamiting OF the Los
Angeles Times Building last October.
The subpoena was read to the detec-
tive and he said he would be present.
William A. Ketcham, one OF his attor-
neys, interrupted by asking, What's
that?" When told it was a Grand Jury
subpoena, he said, ooh, all right"
Sloan had gone to the Justices
court at the suggestion Of James E.
Deery, Deputy Prosecutor in the
Grand Jury room, who went to the
court with a number of blank sub
poenas as soon as he heard Burns
was on his way there. Burns was re-
leased in $4,000 bail.
Earlier in the day Detective Burns
gave further disclosures as to how he
came to suspect Ortie McManigle and
the Mcnamara brothers Of the Los
Angeles outrages. He described in
detail the clock continuance used In
setting off the explosives and de-
clared that his evidence against the
prisoners was of the kind to obtain
convictions.
There we're found to be two laws
under which the kidnapping charges
might hold. Labor men were said to
expect at least to handicap the prose
cution.
J. A. G. Bradorf of New York, rep
r~esenting the Erectors' Association,
also was arrested in Indianapolis on
the kidnapping charge.
District-Attorney Fredericks of Los
Angeles wired that while the law was
relentlessly pursuing suspects. the
country could expect a fair "Ameri-
can jury, trial.

Such occupations as "pouncer," in a
hat factory; "tobies." a maker OF
stogies; whittier" in a straw works;
dock walloper,' a longshoreman; wi
orator. in a clock factory; "tonger." in
connection with oysters; ~"teaser," in a
glass factory; "scabbler." in quarry
ing; 'fosser," in a corset factory. and
"dubber," in ship building, are all
unusual occupations that must be
listed.
In Washington especially are there a
large number of persons who earn their
living by performing unusual tasks. The
majority of them are employed by the
government. There is a young man in
the National museum-Henry Hendley
who is known as the official portrait
bust maker of Indian features for a
unique portrait gallery Of the North
American redskins.
|. B. Millner is an expert modeler in
papier mache of things past, present
and future for the National museum.
Along similar lines is the work OF
Edwin Howell, a maker of maps. In
his workshop he evolves relief maps OF
certain sections of the country which
not only indicate rivers and mountains
and towns, but all the minerals. rocks,
flowers, trees, and varying soils to be
found there.
One of the most interesting of his
maps was made for the marine hos
pital and public health service. 1t is
intended as a warning against allowing
people ignorant of geological condi-
lions to dig wells, and as a plea for
the artesian we'll.
There are expert tea and coffee tast-
ers in the treasury department who
tell the value and grades of these COM
modities by placing a few grains on the
tongue. And in the department of
agriculture there is a squad of young
men who eat drugged foods to deter
mine just how poisonous they are.

Our Own Burden.

Every man bears his W burden,
fights his own battles, walks in the
path which no other feet have trod-
den. God alone knows US through and
through. And he loves us, as Keble
says, better than he knows. He has
isolated us from all besides that he
alone may have u perfected conf
dence. and that we may acquire the
habit of looking to him alone for per-
feet sympathy. He will come into the
solitude In which the soul dwells and
make the darknss bright with his
presence and break the monotonous
silence with words of love. We have
him only to speak to; he alone can
understand us. He will rejoice with
us when we rejoice and weep with us
when We weep. The heart knoweth
it's w bitterness; God knows 1t too;
and though a stranger cannot inter-
NEEDLE with its Joy, he whose temple
and dwelling place is the soul that
loves him is no stranger. but the souls
most intimate and only friend--R. w.
Dale.

Weakness.

You should make a special point OF
asking God every morning to give you'
before all else, that true spirit OF
meekness which he would have MS
children possess. You must also make
a firm resolution to practice yourself
in this virtue, especially in your In
with those persons to whom
Won chiefly owe 1t. You must make 1t
your main object to conquer yourself
in this matter; call 1t to mind a hun
dred times during the day, commend
ing your efforts to God.
1t seems to me that no more tnan
this is needed In order to subject your
soul entirely to his will. and then you
will become more gentle day by day,
trusting wholly in his goodness. You
will be very happy, my dearest enid,
If YOU can do this, for God will dwell
in YOUR heart; and where he reigns
all is peace. But If you should fail
and commit some of your old faults,
do not be disheartened, but rise up
and go on again as though you a
