MEANING OF CENSUS TAKING. What the Enumerator Will Ask You When He Comes in April. Washington, D. February -7. The official definitions of the terms ‘‘dwelling house" and ‘family, i with reference to the population j schedule to be carried by the (‘num erators in the Thirteenth United States Census, beginning April 15th next,, are explained In the Census Bureau’s length!}’ printed instructions to the canvasst rs. It is pointed oui that the answer should relate only to conditions existing on April 15th, the "Census Day.” The words "dwelling house” and “family" are for census purposes, given a much wider application than they have in ordinary speech. A "dwelling” is defined as a place in which at the time of the census, one or more persona regularly sleep. It need not be a house in tho com mon meaning of the word, but. may be, for example, a room in a factory, slorc, or office building, a loft over a stable, a canal boat, a tent, or a wigwam. I he term also includes a hotel, boarding or lodging house, a tenement or apartment house, an institution or school building, it' per sons regularly sleep there, as well as ihe ordinary dwelling house. A "family," as a census term, may mean a group of individuals who oc cupy jointly a dwelling place or part of a dwelling place, or an individu il living alone in any place of abode. All the occupants and employees of a hotel, if they regularly sleep there, make up a single family, because they occupy one dwelling place, and persons living alone in cabins, huts or tents; persons occupying a room or rooms in publii buildings, store.?, warehouses, factories, or stables, and persons sleeping on river boats, barges, etc., if they have no other usual place of abode, are regarded as families. The enumerators are required to enter on the schedule tin* narfTc of every person whose usual place of abode on April 15, 1910, was with the family or 111 the dwelling place for which the enumeration is being made. The head of the family is to be entered first; then the wife; next, the children, whether sons or daughters, in the order of their ages; and lastly, all other persons living with the family, whether relatives, hoarders, lodgers, or servants. The head of the family, whether husband or father, widow or unmarried per son of either sex, is to be designate 1 by the word "head," and the other members of a family as wife, father, mother, son, daughter, grandson, d au ghter in-law, uncle, aunt, nia'cc, board a-r, lodger, servant, according to the particular relationship which flu* person bears to the head of tiie fam ily. Following ara‘ tin- questions: What is your house number? What is your name? The names of the members of the family? What is the relationship of tha.se people to you? How old are you? Are you single, marri d. widow<-d cr divorced? How long have you beam married, if at all? Hoa* many children have you .’ Where wer** you born anal where wore your father and mother born? How long have you been in this country? Are you naturalized? Can you speak English? if not. what can you speak? What is your occupation? Are you an employer, or employee? Werf you out of work on \pri! 15, 1910? How long out o{ work in 1808? Can yov read and write? Do you own or rent your home? Any mortgage? Are you a survivor of the union or confederate army or navy? Are you blind, one or both eyes? Are you deaf or dumb? These questions will be answered by each man, woman and child in the United Slates on April 15th, and they will be held in confidence by thr’ census (‘numerator under pain of a heavy fine and imprisonment, if you are not prepared to give hint an telligent answer now, you had better get busy and look into your affairs. {Doing bu* .ness with* ' t adverti mg in this | p’per i* like trying to uc'ock your barn door * w ith your wife's hatpin, h on ve got the wrong J by* A >v- -c tngiathe k*y to the horn of plenty. | We want to put you at the big end of die jj ; hotn. 0„r ao. rate* fit your putse.

But All Will Agree That tha Incident* De •crlbed Must Have Been Worth Seeing. The most sensational play over made'.’ Kvery fan will give a different answer to this yuentlou. Home will say that Chase made It when he sated a game by racing Into the middle of tbe diamond on a pop fly, renchlug the ball when It was only u few Inches from the grass. Kd. Walsh, the Chi cago White Sox pitcher, thinks It was made at Detroit two years ugo. it huppeucd In the ganto In which Walsh broke the Detroit hoodoo. The Tigers had beaten Walsh every throe he faced them. They regarded him as their lawful prey. The game was played In Detroit, and Mullin, who started the season with II straight vic tories for the Tigers, was slated to pitch against Walsh. Marly in the contest George Davis, the veteran shortstop of the Chicago club, secured the only hit made off Mullin, and it was enough to win the game, i lie hall, driven down the hrst base line into right field, struck a tiro hose lying in the grass and hounded into the bleachers for a home run After that Mullin was invincible. Toward the end of tile game De troit opened with tlie usual rally. Kossman, Detroit's first baseman, lead ing off in the last Inning, smashed the ball against the fence for a clean triple. "Dutch” Schaefer drew a base on halls. Schmidt, next at bat, gave the hit-and-run sign and, with both runners in motion, lilt a hard bounder down toward third base, where Tan tiehill of Chicago was playing. Tan nehill made a perfect scoop and threw the ball to the plate, 20 feet ahead of Kossman, who, seeing that he was caught, doubled hack on the line, hoping to dodge the tag long enough to allow Schaefer to reach third. Sullivan raced down the line with the ball, driving Kossman before him Kossman slipped and fell close to third base and just as Sullivan tagged him for the first out Schaefer slid to third. In the meantime Schmidt, a slow run ner because of an injury to his ankle, had rounded first base and was well on his way to second. Sullivan straightened up and whipped (he hall to Kobe, who was covering second base and calling for the throw. As Schmidt slid Kobe's artn came down with ;t thump and Schmidt made the second out. The instant Sullivan threw the hall Schaefer was on his feet and dashing home from third base The plate had been left'unpro tected; Sullivan was down near third base. Walsh, the pitcher, yelled for the ball and raced Schaefer to the rubber, closely followed by George Davis. The two runners collided in front of the plate. ■ Walsh was stunned , and Schaefer was thrown ten feet from the plate, alighting on his shoulders. Davis, who arrived about the same time, look the throw and dropped the ball on the struggling Tiger, completing the third out and the most sensalional triple play ever made In the big league.— Outing Magazine. Telling the Time in Egypt. The working of Hie oriental mind was delightfully illustrated in n story which Prof, Turner told the Math ematical association at London, lie had been spending (lie Christmas va cation in Egypt to supervise the erec tion. of a telescope at Melouan. Capt. Lyons, who was in charge of the in strument, said that lie had found that at noon every day a gun was tired and was anxious to know how the system worked. Accordingly he interviewed the gunner and asked how he knew when to give the signal. “Oh, I look at my watch," said the official. "And how do you correct your watch?” naked Mie captain. “I take it to the maker 11 Cairo and lie tells me the error ” Forthwith ("apt. Lyons interviewed toe watchmaker and asked him how he checked tlie error of the watch. “I ge* the correct time from the gun,” said that simple craftsman. And thus time was told in Egypt. The Sting of Ingratitude. A young physician in the East side, New York city, spends much time in •charitable practice, in fact, he some times gives to a poor patient enough money to pay for prescriptions. "I’m not getting rich," lie explains, "but I simply can’t see them suffer for medicines that may put them on their feet again." Not many days ago the doctor had occasion to visit a woman who occu pied one small tenement room with her three children. After making out a prescription lie gave her two dol lars, telling lier to buy the medicine t and to use the change for needed 1 food. On the following day, as he was about to enter the tenement for a sec ' ond call he met the ten-year-old daughter of the patient. “How Is your mother?" he Inquired of the child. "Oh. she’s all well," was the an swer "She took that two dollars and got a real doctor." His Fairmindedness. "Why do you insist on reading that newspaper? It always seems to of fend you." ‘‘Recause," answered Mr. Sirius Rarker. "I believe In always looking at both sides of a question. I rely on that publication for arguments on the wrong side.” SENDS TEACHERS TO PUPILS Italy R*v*rc«* th# Order of Thlngi Sa The.t El'.t-dsn Cj Italy's recent plan to educate her mountain folk la already In operation, According to the Homo correspondent of tho Now York Hun. A* thu shep herd* of tho Abru/.tcl could not b« brought to school, teachers ware sunt to them. Tho percentage of illiterates among tho Inhabitant* of the Abruzzl ha* alwuy* been very high, and ata i tlatics *how that despite the fact that many schools have been opened In tho towns and villages within the last five years, G8 per cent, of the popula tlon Is still Illiterate Some members of the board of edu cation feared that the general spread of education among the peasantry would tend to a decline of religious faith Others put forth the theory that the Inhabitants of the Abruzzl hud been Ignorant and unlettered for centuries, and consequently had lost the aptitude to learn. Prof Kmldlo Agostlnonl discovered the real cause. He noticed that the government schools In the towns and villages were not well attended, not because the boys were not willing to go to them, but because they could not. The majority of the inhabitants of the Abruzzl are shepherds, and --‘pend nine months out of every year in the mountains, living in huts and tending their flocks. 1*1 of. Agostinonl suggested lo Ihe ministry of public Instruction the plan which has now been adopted as an ex periment. Instead of having schools with teach ers and empty benches, why not send the teachers up to the mountains where the hoys are, and hold daises there? ’ Tile plan pleased some influential j members of the hoard of education, I and 15 teachers were furnished I with horses and instructed to ride out ever.i day and bent the country for pti j pits. Wherever they found boys or I men willing to learn, they were to stop j arid teach. The 15 traveling teachers have (heir hands full, art, to their great surprise, j (hey found that the shepherds, young and old, are not only willing to learn to read and write, hut that they are' very quick and intelligent. Youth's Companion. ! He Had Learned It. Willie, live years old, was in ills father's office one afternoon waiting \ to go home with him. Mr. H. was 1 very much occupied in fact so much so that he had quite forgotten that his young son was sitting behind him. At length the telephone rang and Mr. S. was told that there was a long distance call for him. lie called "Hello!" a number of times, and just when his patience had about given out central rang vigorously while the receiver was still at his ear. At this Mr S. uttered a terrible and forbid den word. The words wore no sooner out of his niotiili than lie remembered that liis son was but a few feet from him. Wheeling about in Ills chair, lie said, with humility: | "That, was very wrong of father to say those naughty words, Willie. I hope," he added, "that my little hoy will never use stirh dreadful lan guage." "I I won't never say it, papa,” re plied ihe child, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye. “lnit I 1 learned it all the same!” Harper's Magazine. Filipino Uniforms. "The uniforms of these Filipinos," says Lieut, it. S. Keyes, IT. S. N'., in the Wide World, "were marvelous ere' ations, but some of them would hardly tie considered decent on Broadway. First, came t1ie cavalry, mounted <nj ponies and carabaos, no two of the riders dressed alike. Here and (here rode an ugly Vlsayan. happy in an old high hat and a breech clout, while others tiad not a rag on them save a high collar coining well up under the ears. Some of the riflemen and bolo men had a sort of Ft on jacket, made of any color of cloth to he had, and inarched bravely along In that, with out even a breech clout. The popular dress, however, was the breech-clout of nipa leaves, high hats, Eton jack ets and collars beyond the means of the majority. I remember remarking to Porter, who stood beside me in my room, that I should like to see just one company of our cavalry dash into the square; they would drive the whole eight or ten thousand carica tures clean out of the island. He laughed and said lie could well be lieve it.” Physical Exercise. Comparing notes on physical exer else, some one asked Congressman Paul Howland what he did In that di rection. “Who, me?” ho exclaimed with a good deal of warmth. "I have little need of any artificial form of exercise I live on the sunset side of the river, you know, in West Fifty-seventh street, nnd my exercise consists In building thp fire every morning." The answer quite convinced all hands but one, a professional Skeptic, who wanted to know, you know: "What sort of fire do you build?” he inquired. “Wood or coal?” "Neither,” replied the congressman. “We use gas, and I have to scratch a match every time I light the tire.”—• Philadelphia Record.

OVLi.LU i.4£ I RICK WOMAN'S VENTURE WITH MAGIC MOST UNFORTUNATE. Good Story from Which Labor Leader Draws the Moral That Too Much of Anything Must Be Bad. Max Monts, the head of the (Marks' International Protective association, deplored in his Denver office, apropos of Labor day, the long hours of too many clerks. "Too lyu ■!) work, said Mr. Morris, "Is as harmful as too much play. Too much of the finest and best things is harmful You've heard of the spring in the Vale of Avoca? "Well, old Michael O'Houlahan was walking in the Vale of Avoca one hot afternoon and he catno to a spring II was crystal pure. The sand It bubbled out of was ns white as snow. Rainbow mists hung over It in the sunshine. "Old Michael knelt down and took a drink, and then, feeling remarkably re freshen, he turned homeward. Though he dldnt know it, the spring In Hie Yale of Avoca was the real Fountain of Youth, and It had lifted .'10 years from bis bent shoulders amt he was an mil stepping handsome lad again. So. of course, when he got In I lie house his wife dodn't know him. Ho looked hr the glass at. himself, cut. a caper, uiiu i iieu iu> Haul : " 'Shure, Kathleen, ’I was the blessed spring 1 drunk from in the Vale of Avoca. Olory ho. it’s made me young again. Hun, (hirllnt, run for yer life. Ye ran't miss It for tin* rainbow mists that font above It. it'll take your fat away, and yer lameness, and when ye come back you'll be the Kathleen I knowed back In the slventles.’ "So Kathleen ran, and Michael lit Ills pipe and waited for her. Hut she didn't come back. He waited and wait ed. Then, on tow ards dusk, he hurried to the vale. "No Kathleen did he see anywhere, but the wall of a babe’s voice weep ing brought him through the dark lo the spring, and sitting there on the grass was a little girl baby crying as if her heart would break. " What's happened ye, actishla?’ says Michael. " 'Don't ye know me?' says the child, wringing her hands "'Faith I do not,' says Michael, 'Who are ye?' "‘I'm yer wife, sobs the baby. "'My wife!’ cries Michael. “‘Yes, says tho baby. 'I'm afther drlnkln' loo much o' the wather.' " Where He Drew the Line. In a western Kentucky town Hen Watson had saved the life of Myra I'nderhill. Miss l'nderhlll had been overturned in a creek with a swift cur rent, and the act of young Watson was a very heroic one lie had saved the life of the girl after she was sink ing for the third time, and he had barely strength to pull himself and the young woman to shallow water. The news soon spread and Hen Wat son was hailed as the real, live hero of the village. Aunt Tabby Wilson, the oldest wom an in the village, mother of tho little colony, was loud in praise of the hero ism of the young man and at once de clared that Hen and Myra must get married. "Hen saved Myra's life," she said, "and now they must marry and he happy ever afterward, just ns they do it in the story hooks.” Hut Hen demurred The arrange ment did not suit him, "Why not marry Myry, Hen?'' said lhe old lady. "She is yours, and we must have a wedding.” "She's a nice girl, all right," replied Hen, "hut 1 don’t mink we oughter marry. Seems to me," he went on, "I have done enough for Myry."—Har per's. An Error in Noses. So Bernard Shaw is not coining to America, eh? Me says we are two hundred years behind the times, so he could learn nothing from us. Well, well!" The speaker, a dramatic critic of Washington, laughed heartily. "Shaw," he said, "is amazing. Ho always doc.> the original thing. 1 went to see ‘Caesar and Cleopatra’ with him once, and as we stood In the aisle— the house was crowded—a stranger be hind us persisted in poking his head right over Shaw 's shoulder. "Shaw then did the original thing Taking out Ills handkerchief he wiped the man's nose, patting and twistlug it pretty vigorously. “The man, with an ugly oath, Jerked back his head. " "Oh, 1 beg your pardon,’ said Shaw. "I though! it. was mine, you know.’ ” Like Them as They Are. It Is a funny thing that most peo ple at times are filled with a strong conviction that the rest of the world are all wrong, arid that they alone tire right. Most af us are apt to be hard on people who do not do just what we think they ought to, forgetting that every person is horn different, grows up different, and probably remains different all through life. It is easy to criticise, but we must not forget that to other people we may be making almost as great a mess —In a different way, perhaps—of our own lives. So, instead of talking over other people’s stravings from the path and expecting them to do impossibilities, it would surely he better to try to ap preciate our friends as they arc and believe the righteousness of their mo tives, however things may go awry.— Homo Chat STELLA.
