It would be conHldered no more than fair if the present dianosin were to call for the spending of about $l3,oo0. 00, which would be the sum if the rate of lncreaso of expense nt each census up to the twelfth were tj bo main tained for the thirteenth. A census expert has estimated that of tho thirteen millions, tho headquar ters ofllco force will earn $4,000,000, the enumerators $1,COO,000, the EUper vlsors $310,000, and the special ng nt.s 1700,000. Tho administrative cost will be $300,000, the stationery $200,000, rent $125,000, tabulating machines $j:Jo. 00, cards for tabulation processes, $100,000, printing $800,000. Alaska $S3, 00, Porto Kico $100,000. Total, $12,- i50,000. If that Is all the expense, it Is Cheap. The late Gen. Francis A. Walker, Who was a census authority greater than tny other, living or dead, once wrote that "the people of the United States can well afford to pay for the very best census they can get." lie penned this remark In connection with a frank confession of W& own shortsightedness in underesti mating tho cost of the tenth census. It's the old story: When you are ill get the best doctor you can afTord. The comparative cheapness with which the thirteenth census has been taken was largely duo to Director E. Dana Durand's eco nomical methods, to the introduction of semi-automatic electrical card-punching, tabulating fcnd sorting machines, and to the inheritance f wisdom from the experience gained by tho 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 card-punching, tabulating, and sorting ma chinery is the Invention of a census mechani cal expert and the patent rights belong to Undo jjiim. The machines are novel In plan and de sign, are of greater speed and efficiency than those they superseded, and can bo built and Operated at a large saving of money as com pared with previous expenditures for this pur pose. Other money-saving features are the elimi nation of tho vital-statistics Inquiry from tho work of the decennial census, as it belongs to the permanent branch of the United States census; the reduction In the number of sched ules, the piece-price method of paying for ma chine work, the omission of tho hand, house hold and neighborhood industries from tho manufactures branch of the census, and the reduction of the size and number of copies of tha final report. Congress limited the thirteenth census to four general subjects population, agriculture, manufactures, and mines and quarries. The di rector is authorized to determine tho form and subdivision of Inquiries. The inquiry as to 1 population relates to tho date April 15, 1010; that as to agriculture concerns the farm opera tions 4uring 1909 and calls for an inveniory of farm equipment April 15, 1910; that relative to manufactures and quarries is for 190:). The enumeration carri'd only tho popula tion and agriculture schedules April 1.1, 1910. Special agi'iits were pent out with the sched ules for tho manufactures, mini's and quarries lata. There were fully Clioo enumerators, of whom about 45,000 carried both the population and agriculture schedules, as it is est (mated that thero are now fully 7,000,000 separate farms in America, with farmers numbering well up Into a score of millions. In 1910 there were many more billions of dollars of fixed capital invested in agriculture than there were In manufactures, htraiiKe as it may seem. And the farmer Is gittlns b. tier off all the time; his mortgage Indebtedness Is decreasing fast; his taxation Is small as compared with the urbanite's burden, and he has taken to auto mobile riding on a large scale. Census taking every ten years Is a tremen dous task. It Is the greatest single operation undertaken by Uncle Sam, with the exception of the Panama canal work and the assembling of an army in time of war. The American cen sus Is the largest, costliest and most accumte of any taken by tho civilized nations. Its methods are the most modern and its equip ment the most complete. The census bureau force comprises, first, Director E. Dana Durand of Michigan, who, al though only thirty-eight years old, is older than most of the generals com manding the forces In the Civil war, and who Is, too, a statistically scar red hero, a veteran In government service, and likely to prove tho most practical and efficient di rector connected with any of the past censuses. Then there is the assist ant director, William II. Wllloughby, of Washing ton, D. C. former secre tary of state of Porto Rico. Next In rank are the five chief statisti cians: William C. Hunt, In charge of the popula tion division: he Grand Powers, heading the ag ricultural division; Wil liam M. Stuart, oversee ing the manufacturing di vision; Dr. Cressy L. Wilbur, the vital statis tics work, and Dr. Jo seph Adna Hill, the di vision of revision and re sults. Charles S. Sloane is the geographer; Al bertus H. Haldwln Is the chief clerk; Voler V. is chief of the publica tion division: Hugh M. Brown is private sec retary to the direct or; Robert M. Plndoll, Is the appointment Clerk; George Johnnes is the disbursing officer, and C. W. Spicer is the mechanical expert. In addition to these are the chiefs of the divisions under the chief sta tistician. There are about 750 permanent clerkp and 8,000 temporary clerks, etc. The supervisors numbered 330 and they employed and directed the 65,000 enumerators. About 1,000 chief special agents and assistant special agents. The supervisors also employed 1,000 clerks, 500 special agents and 4,000 Interpreters to assist them in the direction of the enumerators. The data relating to population is trans ferred to manila cards, by (he punching of holes In them to correspond with the different Items in the schedules. An electrical machine controlled by a clerk can punch holes in 3.000 cords a day. Three hundred of there were used and 90,000,000 cards w re ordered. After tho punching the cards are hand fed Into an electric tabulating machine with a "pin-box" attachment which permits the re quired pins to pass through the variously placed boles in tho cards. In this establishing nn electric circuit resulting In tho tabulation of the items on counters which register their results in printing on spooled paper somewhat like a stock "ticker." There nro 100 of theso machines. After certain comparisons to prove accuracy, the schedules are permanently pre served in a great iron safe in tho census bu reau. As the card does not contain tho iiamo of the persona for whom it stands, all personal identity Is eliminated from tho cards. All dan ger of misuse of such Information disappears. Severe penalties are provided In case any em ployee discloses census information to outsid ers. The next step Is the making of tho maps and tables to accompany the analyses, and then, finally, tho Issue of the printed bulletins and reports. Ilefore July 1, 1912, tho work must be over and tho thirteenth census gone to join its scientific ancestors. Masterpiece of Glass Work In the rtrltlsh museum, in London, on exhi bition, is the Portland vase, tho masterpiece of ancient glasswork. A chance discovery led to the rescue of this magnificent urn from tho grave, where it had lain for hundreds of years, hidden and unknown. The vaso was found early in the seventeenth century by some la borers, who, digging on a hillock In the neigh borhood of Home, broke into a small vault. On further examination it revealed a suite of three sepulchral chambers. In the largest room they found a finely sculptured sarcopha gus, which contained the beautiful vase. was full of ashes, but it. bore no inscription as to the remains it held, nor has the mystery ever been Bolved which shrouds its origin. The vase was deposited in the liarberinl pal ace, where it remained until 1770, when the rep resentative of tho liarberinl family, a Roman princess, was forced to part with It to pay her gambling debts. Tho vase changed hands twice, then it was disposed of lo the duchess of Portland, but with such secrecy that her own family was not awaie of the t ran; action until after her death. At the sale of the duchess of Portland's col lection it was purchased by her son, tin third duke of Tort land, for tho kuiii of $5,115, and it was deposited in the museum by his successor. The vase was wantonly smashed In pieces by a drunken visitor, but the fragments were, howevi r, joined together, but the bottom, with its mysterious figure in Phrygian cap, wa;i not replaced. Tho material of this vase was long almost as great a puzzle as the story It Illustrates. Preval refers to It as "the famous vase of chaledony;" Mlsson calls it an agate; liartoll a sardonyx; while Caylus and others correctly decided that it was made of glass. Tho blue body was first formed, and while still red hot, coated over as far as the has reliefs were In tended to reach with semiopaque white glass, the delicate figure being afterwards cut down to the blue ground In the same manner as with real cameos.

The king she married was Don Ferdinand II. of Portugal, a great grandfather of King Manuel. Elise lived In Springfield about 60 years ago, probably for about four years. The Henslers were humble people and lived simply. The daughters, Elise and Louise, were well received here and were given a good musical education, especially Ellse, whe had quite a remarkable voice. Slgnor Guldl, an Italian, at the time a well known teacher of the voice, took an interest in Ellse and It was when Signor Guldl went to Ronton that the Henslers went there, largely through his influence. He believed that Ellso had a fu ture as a singer and wished her to be where he could continue toachlng her. Ellse Hensler after her removal with her family to Iioston continued her studies. She was perseverant In her work and progressed so well that she not only appeared In concerts la tho large cities In this country, but also in Eu rope, where she sang before royalty. It vu whllo singing In Lisbon several years after the death of Queen Maria that King Ferdinand heard her voico and felt the attraction that led him to marry her. Ferdinand was the titular king of Portugal, having been tho second husband of Queen Maria II. of Portugal. Ferdinand married Maria in 1836, when ho was 20. Tho queen died In 1853, and he was regent during the mi nority of his Kon, Pedro V., who was the fa ther of tho assassinated King Carlos, the grandfather of the deposed King Manuel. The regency ended In 1805, and on June 10, 1809, he married Miss Hensler. When the European powers decided the time had come to restore Spain to a monarchy, following tho overthrow of tho short republic, which existed from 1873 to 1875, considerable pressure wus brought to bear upon Ferdinand to induce him to accept tho vacant throne. Cut his wife could never be queen of Spain, and it Is possible that this fact alono Induced him to refuse. This absolute refusal on his part to accept tho throne of Spain, with ull tho pomp and splendor of royalty in exchange for the roman tic life that ho was living with his morganatic wile, hud far reaching consequences. The com plications and Jealousies resultant on the at tempt to find a king acceptable to all tho pow ers bellied to bring on the Franco-Prusslau war, and Alsace and Lorraine went hack to Germany, whence thy had been wrested by Napoleon Honaparte. In consequence of these peculiar historical facts, which geographically practically changed all western Europe, Elise Hensler, Countess Edla, became famous throughout the world as "the .tMiian who changed tint map of Europe."

Luilt Bath for Mine Mules olliery Proprietor's Scheme Was Appi eci Jtcd by the Ar.iir.als and Prolonged Life and Vigor. "Some time ngo the proprietor of colliery at Plains, Pa., which is known as the Henry, built a big bath !ub for the mules in tho company's mines. I can't say that this was lone altogether from an altruistic mo Jvm. The owners, after consulting with veterinarians were convinced tli it a daily bath would prolong the life and the vigor of the mules width they used in tho mines. At any rate, they built a big bath about 40 feet long and something like four feet deep, near the entrance to the stables. The mules aro pretty tired, as you can Im agine, at tho end of a day's work. Hut you should see them race from tlio mine entrance to the bath tub. You would think they had been out on pastuie for six months, from the speed i hey show ns they gallop down to the stable entrance. They clamber over ( ach other In their efforts to get Into the water. j "I'll venturo to tay that a horse would mas.6 a break tor tnu stable and the stall to get the second meal of the day, if worked as hard as one of those mules, and would pass by the bath. Hut not so with those mules. Hungry as they must be, they rush Into the bath. Homo of the animals are no reluctant to leave the water that the f tablemen have to drive them out. Ohh old mule that litis drawn u car for years, absolutoly declines to h ave the pool lmidu of ten minutes. "Directly ovt r the bath runs a per forated pipe. When the stablemen think the mules have been In tho wa ter long enough, the water Is run through this pipe, and the four-legged bathers got a fine shower bath. One of the foremen recently told me that some of the animals will actually point to the Kliower pipe with their noses in order to call the attention of the stablemen to their desire for a fchow er bath. One evening the stablemen were In : ot.'euliat of u hurry and tried to get the niu'es out of tin. wt.Vr with out the i hover. One aiiii.ial, more de termined than tho rent, relused to be driven out, and the water was turnwl on to oblige that particular mulo. This saved time, as tho mule Is a pretty difficult object even for a dozen men to bandl, especially lu the water." Washington Post. CLERGYMEN IN QUEER ROLES Three Took Part in a Towel-Wtshing Competition and Another Got Prize (or Sewing. At bazars and such-Ilka functions ministers of the gospel sometimes en gage In very amusing competitions which they would scarcely dream of entering under nny other auspices. At a church bazar at Slough some little tlttic nro great fun was occa sioned by (he appearance of a trio of rrvcivnd gentlemen In the role of washwomen. They pitted themselves against each other in a duster-washing competition; and, having been provided with a bowl of wnter, a piece of soap anil dirty duster, they set vigorously to work. Tho time allowed for Ae washing was three minutes, on tho expiration of which tho dusters were submitted to the critical judgment of three mar ried ladles. Put they found the dust ers of two of tho competitors so well washed that they could not decldu which was the cleaner. A somewhat similar clerical contest formed ono of the attractions at a ba zar held In Manchepter. In this In stance the articles elected to bo washed were towels, and each com petitor had not only to wash one, but hang It out to dry, being allowed 3li minutes for tho work. Two vicars and three curates took part In this competition, tho way they "shaped" at tho washtubs causing Fome of the lady spectators to shriek with laughter. The best was considered to bo that which had been done by a curate re cently marrjjid, and somebody had tho hardihood to suggest that perhaps he had been taking lessons at homo. At a bazar arranged for the benefit of a Liverpool church a handkerchief hemming competition took placo be tween three clergymen of tho town. They were to do ua much as they could In the time limit of a quarter of an hour, and tho prize, half a dozen choice pocket handkerchiefs, was to be awarded to the ono who did the most hemming of a presentablo char acter. One of the reverend gentlemen proved quite an adept, at the work, for his hemming was not only by far the nentest, but ho did nearly double ns much as the next, best competitor, and therefore carried oft tho prlzo. In the 15 minutes allowed bo hemmed nearly ono side of his handkerchief. A Religious Movement. , "nuddhlsm," says a Berlin paper, "Is rapidly spreading In Europe. The number of converts is dally increas ing, especially In Germany, England and Hungary." The influence of tho higher religious thought of the Orient was bound, in these days of rapid travel and aroused Intellectual curiosity, to mako Itself felt, and ono of tho signs of the times is tho growing sale of small popular epitomes of various phases of eastern religious and philosophic thought, and also translations of the great religious poems of the Orient. On this continent, Vedantlsm, The osophy and esoteric Buddhism have become fairly tell known, and the work of the new teachers Is not sel dom on broad humanitarian lines; especially may be cltod the education al work carried on at Point Lorn a, in southern California, and In Cuba, by the Universal Brotherhood and Theo sophlcal society; In which are en listed men of wealth and high business capacity under the leadership ot Katherlne Tlngley, a woman of great executive ability. The work done in training the young for practical life Is notable. Made Better Play. "Walter," called the irate diner, "there seems to bo a dollar on thla bill I can't account for."
