the Jews of California, upon whom

Sparkle and Vivaeity Of New Works
Famous Thoroughfare.
Perhaps the chief impression which
the metropolis makes is Of the vivacity
Of its life. It is the completest express
sion Of our national joie de vivre. And
it is pleasant to record that for the
most characteristic moment of this
quality you would not cite Broadway
at night, but Fifth avenue by day. The
sparkle of this famous street is per-
haps largely due to the New York eli
mate.
Climates are never perfect, but
among the worlds great cities the
American metropolis is singularly for
tunate It is flooded with sunlight, and
on it's best days the air has q crisp and
tonic quality. By tacit understanding
i'll dressed and sad people keep off
Fifth avenue. On bright morning
there is no resisting the streets gay
intoxicat ton. The most expensive shops
in the world are close at hand, the best
restaurants near by. Brave men lounge
at the windows Of exclusive clubs, and
fur women cut coupons at fashionable
banks. Life seems indeed worth liv-
ing. The whole town is gay. Even
children and nursemaids in the park
seem more engagingly clean and limo
cent and spirited than elsewhere, as If
they, too, felt the call of happiness.
It is worth while noting the clear
ness Of much of New York's all, doing
Justice to the clean and simple Cliveli-
ness Of much of its enjoyment. be-

MARRIAGE AND THE
HIGH COST OF LIVING.

Vital statistics are usually regarded
as following quite nearly certain fixed
ratios. OF recent years, though,
there have been the suggestions from
many quarters that high prices were
affecting the marriage rate. One of
the most notable instances comes
from San Francisco, where the num-
Der of knots tied in 1915 was but s.
100, as against $3.50 for 1915. The
authorities attribute the falling off
to high living costs.
It suggests that the love in a. cot
tage motive is growing less power
full Certainly our forefathers con-
sidered but little any such matter.
They did not have to meet high
prices, but they confronted condi-
tions far more burdensome. One
never hears that the man who set
tied the Far West and the plain states
ever hesitated about marriage.
On the eve of their adventurous de-
parture into pioneer life, they took
unto themselves wives. No matter
how toilsome and difficult the condi-
tons, they raised large families. Their
children 1abored to subdue the forest
and plant the soil, and great prosper
Gus states are the result Of their con-
fidence and courage.
If our ancestors found the prices

never occurred to them to deny them
selves marriage or postpone it,

COUNTING HEADS.
The First Census Was Taken by Moses

The First Census Was Taken by Moses
-. In the Wilderness!
There is record of a census in China
as far back as the year 2O42 B. G. and
Of one in Japan in the last century be-
fore Christ. Under the constitution Of
Scion the citizens Of Athens were di-
vided and registered in four classes,
according to the amount of their tax
able property or income. The Roman
census was burdened with more Stats
tics than any OF these, however. It had
its origin under SerYius Tullius, sixth
king Of Rome, and was an affair OF
much solemnity. Every citizen had to
appear upon the Campus Martius and
declare upon oath his name and dwell
ing and the value of his property under
the penalty Of having his goods conf1s-
Gated.
The most ancient statistical record Of
census is found in the Bible. The
census was taken by Moses in the viii
derness, and, as shown by the first
chapter Of Numbers, the enumeration
must have been very simple. Take
ye," said this account, ''the sum of all
the congregations Of the children OF
Israel, after their families, by the
house Of their fathers, with the num-
Der of their names, every male by
their polls; from twenty years old and
upward, all that are able to go forth to
war in IsraelA thou and Aaron shall
number them by their armies" This
census was an affair that must have
been soon over, lasting no longer than
a day, being merely counting of the
heads of the fighting men. The women
and children and cripples and, the old
men were not included; neither were
the Levites numbered among them"
Those who did stand up to be num-
bered totaled COS $50.
