THE CENSUS OF 1790. United States Population Then Was Less Than 4,000,000. When the first census of the United States was taken in 1790, there were 16 states and the southwest and north-west territories. The returns fixed the population at 3,329,214, while those of 1900 give over 76,000,000, a fourteen-fold growth in 110 years. In the first census nothing was sought but the number of inhabitants, and the task was assigned to United States marshals, who performed the work for several censuses. In the census library is a record of the first census, which shows that the census of 1790 was ordered in March and completed by October, 1791, a very creditable showing when the difficulty of communication is considered. The population was divided into five classes—free white males of 16 years and upward, including heads of families; free white females, including heads of families; free white males under 16 years, other persons, slaves. Fourteen enumeration districts were mapped out of the 16 states and the population of the towns, counties and states given. All of the states except Maine and Massachusetts had slaves. Virginia led with a population of 747,610 whites and 292,000 slaves. North Carolina was second, with 393,751 whites and 100,000 slaves. Maryland had a population of 422,756, of which 103,036 were slaves. The slave population of the northern states is given as follows: New Hampshire, 158; Rhode Island, 948; Connecticut, 2,764; New York, 21,-324; New Jersey, 11,423; Pennsylvania, 3,237; Delaware, 8,887; Vermont, 16. The population of the southwest territory was 35,691 whites and 3,417 slaves. The record is full of errors in calculation and addition, but is interesting in showing how the population has increased and how the art of census taking has developed with the population. —Baltimore Sun.

The United States government has appropriated $500,000 for an exhibit at the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo next summer. To view the magnificent buildings and their multitude of treasures alone would be well worth going a long distance. They are much more beautiful than those of the government group at the Columbian Exposition, while the space for exhibition purposes is but little less than was occu-pied there. The display to be made by the department of agriculture will be of great value and interest to those concerned in the agricultural, horticultural and live stock industries, comprehending as it will all their varied features. The workings of the different bureaus of the department of state will be illustrated by means of blanks, sample letters, circular letters, etc., and much can be learned by the people of the manner of intercourse between the United States and other nations. The coining of money will be a feature of the exhibit by the treasury department. Here a coin press will be in operation, coining money at the rate of 90,000 coins per hour, each coin being struck with a force equal to the weight of 100 tons. Collectors will be especially interested in the government's very complete collection of coins of all nations, a complete set of medals struck by the mint at Philadelphia and a complete series of currency issued by the government. SOME NEW SCHOOL LAWS No Pupil Under the Age of 15 Must Be Required to do Home Study. Copies of the new school laws entered by the late Legislature have been received by the educators of the county. They prove to be of general interest. These new laws go into effect on July next. Some are in the precise form which they were recommended by State convention of city and county superintendents. The much discussed law about this study is included in the following statute, which also adds "nature studies," "language, with special reference composition," and "humane education" to the list of subjects that must taught in all public schools. Each provision is of general interest. "Instruction must be given in following branches in the seven grades in which they may be required viz: reading, writing, orthography, arithmetic, geography, nature science language and grammar, with special reference to composition; history of United States and civil government with special reference to the effects alcohol and narcotics on the human system; music, drawing and element bookkeeping; humane education;ments of physiology and hygiene; drawing and nature study may be no text book on these subjects required to be purchased by the public provided further that county board education may in districts having that 100 census children, confirm pupils to the study of reading, writing orthography, arithmetic, language and grammar, geography, history of United States and civil government elements of physiology and hygiene and elementary bookkeeping until have a practical knowledge of these subjects; and it is further proof that no more than twenty recitals per week shall be required of pupils derer the age of fifteen years for grammar or primary school shall be required to do any home study." The law regarding the certification of teachers is entirely reconstructed. The only certificates that can boards may issue under the new upon examination, are of the grade and special. The subject which applicants must pass a satisfactory examination for grammar or secondary school shall be required to do any home study." A BOY AND A RIFLE. And the Trick the Father Played to Make the Youngster Careful. Exact statistics on the subject are lacking, but it is certain that the man who "didn't know it was loaded" kills and mans annually a great many persons. The only safe rule with a gun is never under any circumstances to point it at anybody. One should always act on the assumption that it is loaded. Unfortunately, though, an average human being learns only by experience, and where a gun is concerned that often entails an awful price. Bearing this in mind a veteran sportsman of this city adopted a unique method of impressing this lesson on his son. This is how he told the story: "I want my son to be a sportsman, so that when he gets to be as old as his father he may have as many pleasant memories to look back to. Therefore, on his sixteenth birthday I gave him a rifle. And instead of reading him a long lecture on the necessity of handling the weapon carefully, I put up a job on him that would be far more effective. After he had spent a couple of hours fondling it and cleaning it and examining the mechanism, after the manner of healthy boys, I contrived unknown to him to slip a blank cartridge into the breach. "Then I called him out into the yard and holding my hat in front of me, asked him to show me how he would take aim at it. There was an explosion, and he fell in a dead faint. You may think it mean of me, but I allowed him to think that only the badness of his aim or some intervention of Providence saved me from death. The lesson he learned will last him through life, because a terrible fright accompanied it. Some day when he gets old enough to have a boy of his own, I shall tell him of the trick I played on him."—New York Herald. So It Was. "Mamma, come quick! The catsup on the shelf." "Drat that cat! I'll make fiddle strings of her in no time if I lay my hands on her! She's forever into something," and the enraged materfamilies vigorously pounded her way into the pantry. "Where is she, Tommy? I don't see her." "See who?" "Why, you said the cat was on the shelf." "I never said there was a cat on the shelf." "Yes, you did. You said, 'The's cat's up on the shelf.'" "So I did, and I say it yet. The catsup on the shelf right before your eyes. Don't you see it? There in that old wine bottle," and he quietly but very swiftly dodged out into the kitchen.

Included in this exhibit will be a model of a lighthouse, fully equipped and in operation; a model of a quarantine station, models of marine hospital operating rooms and a model of a vessel constructed for deep sea sounding. Upon the shore of the Park Lake will be a life saving station, completely equipped with up to date apparatus, while the means employed in the saving of life on the sea will be daily illustrated by a captain and crew of two men with life and surf boats, with their appurtenances.

In its sculptural adornment, as well as in several other respects, the Pan-American Exposition will far surpass any enterprise of the kind ever held. There are over 125 splendid original groups, and they are to be used around the Court of Fountains, the Esplanade and the Electric Tower. They will symbolize the purposes of the buildings and exhibits and bring out the poetry in what to many may seem exceedingly prosale things. After crossing the Triumphal Bridge, which is the grand formal entrance to the main court and is itself to be decorated with splendid statuary, one will see to the right and left, at opposite ends of the Esplanade, the fountains and the sunken gardens in front of the United States Government and Horticulture buildings respectively. The Fountain of Man, by Charles Grafly, is the central fountain at the east of the Esplanade, and it is flanked by the Fountain of Prometheus and the Fountain of Hercules. The subjects of other fountains in this group will be the Savage Age, the Despotic Age and the Age of Eulightenment. At the other end of the Esplanade the Fountain of Nature, by George T. Browster, is the most elaborate sculptural adornment, and the idea of this fountain is amplified in minor ones, such as the Fountain of Kronos, Fountain of Ceres and the groups typifying Mineral Wealth, Animal Wealth, etc. These symbolic ideas will be worked out in beautiful forms in other parts of the main court and in connection with the Electric Tower and other buildings, the whole forming a most complete and harmonious expression of the purposes of a great Exposition, such as the Pan-American.

The following orphans have been admitted into St. Catherine's Orphan Asylum since the last publication: Half Orphans — Walter Stronach, aged 7 years, 6 months; Alfred Acibls, aged 1 year; 2 months; Martin Ybarra, aged 5 years; John Dilbon, aged years; Daniel Garcia, aged 1 year, 6 months; Macario Rodriguez, aged 7 years; Gabriel Grimaud, aged 4 years, 3 months. Miss Florence Newman, who has been a great sufferer from muscular rheumatism, says Chamberlain's Pain Balm is the only remedy that affords her relief. Miss Newman is a much respected resident of the village of Gray, N.Y., and makes this statement for the benefit of others similarly afflicted. This liniement is for sale by P. A. Derge. HOME NEW SCHOOL LAWS. April Under the Age of 15 Must Be Required to do Home Study. Series of the new school laws enacted by the late Legislature have been proved to be of general interest. The new laws go into effect on July 1. Some are in the precise form in which they were recommended by the convention of city and county intendents. The much discussed law about home is included in the following statutes which also adds "nature study," language, with special reference to position," and "humane education" to list of subjects that must be taught in all public schools. Each provision is of general interest: construction must be given in the building branches in the several cities in which they may be required, reading, writing, orthography, metacic, geography, nature study; usage and grammar, with special reference to composition; history of the United States and civil government; special reference to the effect of school and narcotics on the human mind; music, drawing and elementary keeping, humane education, elec- tion of physiology and hygiene, music, and nature study may be oral, next book on these subjects being desired to be purchased by the pupils;ided further that county boards of education may, in districts having less than 100 census children, confine the books to the study of reading, writing,ography, arithmetic, language, grammar, geography, history of United States and civil government, elements of physiology and hygiene, elementary bookkeeping until they are a practical knowledge of these subjects; and it is further provided no more than twenty recitations week shall be required of pupils in secondary schools, and no pupil un- the age of fifteen years in anyumar or primary school shall be desired to do any home study." The law regarding the certification teachers is entirely reconstructed. Only certificates that county boards may issue under the new law, an examination, are of the grammar and special. The subjects in such applicants must pass a satisfactory examination for grammar grade. IN THE WINTER. (Benson's Plaster Is Pain's Master.) For coughs and colds Benson's Porous Plasters are an incomparably better remedy than any other—external or internal. Their medicinal properties enter the skin and go straight to the seat of the disease. They relieve and cure a "seated" cold without disturbing the system or upsetting the stomach. Cough mixtures often nauseate. Benson's Plasters are medicinal in the highest degree, and quickest to act. Placed on the chest or back or on both at once in serious cases, the good effect is felt immediately. The congestion yields, the cough abates and the breathing improves. Lung or bronchial affections or kidney disease, are cured with the least possible suffering and loss of time. Benson's Plasters are immeasurably superior to Belladonna, Strengthening, Capiscum or any other combination in plaster form. They are also preferable to ointments, liniments and salves. Benson's Plasters have received fifty-five highest awards over all competitors; and more than 5,000 physicians and druggists have declared them to be one of the few trustworthy household remedies.

Seabury & Johnson, Mfg. Chemists, N.Y. Sale of Prunes. The largest day's business in the history of the prune industry in California was done by the San Jose Cured Fruit Association the other day, when 20,000,000 pounds of fruit were sold. This is a total of 36,000,000 pounds at the 2-cent basis. Orders came in million-pound lots, and when business closed for the day it was thought there were still some orders in the mails. The price went back to the 3-cent basis in the evening, being the close of the fifteen-day period. The board of directors removed the one-half-cent-a pound differential in favor of the exporters. This puts the exporter and the American dealers on the same basis, that of 3 cents. The sales at the cut rate, added to the sales made during the season prior to the cut, amount in round numbers to about seventy-two million pounds, and leaves in the hands of the association about fifty or fifty-five million pounds of prunes. The association now has funds to pay all growers a dividend of a cent and a fraction. "It is with a good deal of pleasure and satisfaction that I recommend Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea." TALL CORN doesn't come by accident. A fertile soil and careful cultivation are necessary to produce the towering stems and heavy ears. Yet the farmer who understands that he can't have a healthy corn crop without feeding and weeding, seems to think that he can have a healthy body without either care or culture. But the body is built up just as the corn is, by the assimilation of the several chemical elements on which vitality depends. And what weeds are to the corn, diseases of the stomach and nutritive systems are to the body; they divert the necessary food supply from the proper channels, and the body becomes lean, sickly and ill-nourished. The proper digestion and assimilation of food is a primary essential of health. By healing diseases of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery increases the digestive and assimilative powers, stimulates the action Oranges for Siberia.

Mr. Jefferson probably wrote more letters with his own hand than any other public man that ever lived. The extent of his correspondence may be inferred from the fact that 26,000 letters neatly folded and briefed were preserved by him and found carefully filed away at the time of his death, with copies of the replies sent to more than 16,000. These, however, were only a small portion of his correspondence, as he retained only those he considered of future usefulness or importance. Stenography was not invented at that time. Every one of his letters was written with his own hand and with great care, although after breaking his wrist while minister to France it became a great labor to him. His penmanship was small, plain and legible, every letter being perfectly formed, and his account books are kept in so small a hand that many of the pages cannot be read without a magnifying glass. Jefferson was ambidextrous. He could write equally well with either hand. When his wrist was broken, he learned to write with his left hand, which became as skillful as the other.

Consumption and bronchitis, which are the most dangerous and fatal diseases, have for their first indication a persistent cough, and if properly treated as soon as this cough appears are easily cured.

Everyone one of his letters was written with his own hand and with great care, although after breaking his wrist while minister to France it became a great labor to him.

It would have been impossible for him to have carried on his extensive correspondence without being able to relieve his right hand at intervals. Divided the Remedy. The Philadelphia Record tells a story of a physician of that city who was called to see an old Irishman and his wife, down with colds. He advised quinine and whisky as an antidote. "You must both take it," he said. "Take it every three hours—two grains of quinine and a swallow of whisky." The next day he called again. The man was up and about, but his wife was in bed. "Did you follow my instructions?" asked the doctor. "To the letther," replied the husband. "How much quinine have you left?" was the next question. "Sure, Ol'tink she have taken th' whole av it," said the man. "And didn't you take it, too?" asked the doctor. "Divil th' bit," was the reply.

I take my watch, which, as you know, is a fine gold one, full jewel-ed, costing $300, in to have a few repairs, much or little, as may be, and the boss timekeeper gives me an old battered tin watch to carry in its place that makes me ashamed to look into the face of a reputable watch for weeks. In addition it excites suspicion in the minds of my nearest friends when they see me take it out, and if I should die with that watch on my person in a strange country the newspapers would say, 'Judging from the watch found on the deceased, he must have come from New Jersey.' Now, what I want to know is why don't jewelers have 'substitute watches' to match their customers? That is to say, let the customer's watch left for repairs determine the kind of watch he is to carry until he gets his own again." But his wife couldn't tell him to save her life.—Detroit Free Press. Didn't See the Joke. "It isn't safe to be funny these days unless one labels one's jokes," said a woman who went abroad recently. "You know, I've always rather fancied myself as a wit, and on the steamer coming home I really let myself out. Everybody was a bit seasick, and I Well, even I had times when I thought I'd rather own an automobile than any kind of a yacht. One day we all foregathered on deck and talked about what we'd gone through--you know how people do on shipboard. I was talking in my cleverest vein with an English family. "I'm like a famous lady." I chortled gaily. "I'll be extremely glad to set foot on terra cotta again." "That evening the mother of the English family took me aside. "My dear,' she said. I'm so much older than you that I am sure I may make so bold as to tell you something, and I want you to take it in the spirit in which it is meant. You said this morning you'd be glad to set foot on terra cotta again. I thought I'd just call your attention to the thing so you won't make the same mistake again. It isn't terra cotta, it's terra firma."—Washington Post. Surface Indications. From "A Book on Dartmoor," written by the Rev. S.

Baring-Gould, comes a story which might have come from a less trustworthy source: The wild and romantic country of Dartmoor consists of a tableland with rugged peaks or tors and all but impassable marshes. After a dry summer it is easy to pick one's way across parts of it which at other times are full of pitfalls. At one of the latter periods a man was cautiously treading his way across one of the treacherous marshes when he saw a hat lying brim downward on the sedge. He gave it a gentle, good humored kick in passing and almost jumped out of his skin when a choked voice called out from beneath: 'What be you a-doin to my 'at?' 'Be there now a chap under'n?' exclaimed the traveler. 'Ees, I reckon, and a hoss under me likewise." A Difficult Wife. An Englishman thus describes the wife of his bosom in his will: 'Heaven seems to have sent her into the world solely to drive me out of it. The strength of Samson, the genius of Homer, the prudence of Augustine, the skill of Pyrrhus, the patience of Job, the philosophy of Socrates, the subtlety of Hannibal, the vigilance of Hermogenes, would not suffice to subdue the perversity of her character.'—Exchange. A Popular Host. Traveler—Eh? Has this hotel changed hands? Clerk—Yes; the old landlord busted up; owed thousands of dollars to all the provision dealers in the neighborhood. For every $10 he took in he spent $20. Traveler—Too bad, too bad! He's the only landlord I ever met who knew how to keep a hotel.—New York Weekly. Dry Goods Coopers. "This is a strange place for a cooper shop," said a stranger in New York, pointing to a sign over a basement in the wholesale dry goods district. "Yes; it would be a queer place," was the answer. "If the product was like that of nearly all cooper shops. But there was never a barrel made in the place, and probably not one of the 15 men who work there could head a barrel, to say nothing of making one. This cooperage does business only with big wholesale houses." There are several similar shops in the district. They make a business of strapping cases of merchandise after they have been packed. The large concerns have the cases put in the street after they have been packed, and then the cooper is sent for to nail the wooden straps around them. He receives about 25 cents an hour for his labor and from 15 to 25 cents a pair for the straps. The shops are the storehouses for the hoop poles, and there the men split and shave the hickory saplings which finally become the case straps. There are some houses in the district where the porter does this work, but the large concerns turn it over to the coopers who never make a barrel.—New York Tribune. The Humorous Primate. There is a story told of a candidate for the pulpit who was preaching an ex tempore trial sermon before the late Archbishop Tait and Dean Stanley. In his extreme nervousness he began in a stammering way: "I will divide my congregation into two—the converted and the unconverted." This proved too much for the primate's sense of humor, and he explained, "I think, sir, as there are only two of us, you had better say which."—London Standard. Easy Going Japs. Japanese business methods are very important places of a very busy go as the other day a foreigner calling at the branch of one of the chief shipping companies found the whole place deserted. It appeared that, the day being fine, the manager and staff had gone out on a mushroom hunting expedition. Mushroom hunting is a rare pursuit that appeals to every true Japanese. Missed the Name.
