Tt*» Flrat C«nau» Wat Taken by MmN
In the Witdarnaaa.
There la a record of a census In China
aa far back aa the year 9042 B. 0. and
of one In Japan In the last century be
fore Chrtit Under the constitution of
Bolon the cltliena of Athena were dU
Tided and registered In four classes,
according to the amount of their tax
able property or Income. The Roman
census was burdened with more statis
tics than any of these, however. It had
Its origin under 8ervlua Tulllua, sixth
king of Rome, and was an affair of
much solemnity. Every citizen had to
appear upon tho Campus Martins and
dec lam upon oath Ks name and dwell
ing and the value of his property under
the penalty of having his goods confis
cated.
The most ancient statistical record of
a census is found In the Bible. Tho
census was taken by Moses In the wil
derness, and, aa 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
ber of their names, every male by
their polls; from twenty years old and
upward, all that are able to go forth to
war In Israel; 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 a counting of the
heads of the fighting men. The women
and children and cripples and the old
men were not Included; "nether were
the Levltes numbered among them."
Those who did stand up to be num
bered totaled 003,550.
FIFTH AVENUE THE JOYOUS.
8p*rkl« and Vivacity of New York"*
Famout Thoroughfare.
Perhaps the chief Impression which
the metropolis makes Is of the vivacity
of Its life. It Is the completes! expres
sion of our national Jole de vlvre. 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 fatuous street la per
haps largely due to the New .York ell
mate.
Climates are never perfect but
among the world's great cities the
American metropolis Is singularly for
tunate. It Is flooded with sunlight, and
on Its best days the air has a crisp and
toclc quality. By a tacit understanding
ill dressed and sad people keep off
Fifth avenue. On a bright morning
there Is no resisting the street's gay
intoxication. 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
fair 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 "ugaglngly clean and Inno
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 air, doing
Justice to the clean and simple liveli
ness of much of Its enjoyment, be
cause Its prominence as one of the
world's chief centers of dissipation and
pleasure seeking has done Its reputa
tion bad service with many people of
virtue and good taste.—Harper's Mag
azine.
Africa'* Gold Coaat.
The Gold Coast Is a British colony
on the west coast of Africa. Its cli
mate Is notoriously unhealthy, the
heat and moisture being excessive. The
coast Is lined with unhealthy swamps
and shallow lakes, while the peculiar
rock of the country Is said to give off,
under the Influence of the air and
moisture, large quantities of hydrogen
gas. The native towns are crowded
and dirty, intermittent fevers and oth
er diseases being always present.
These are peculiarly fatal to Euro
peans. though the natives do not suf
fer so much. The whole region Is more
or less a gold producing country, but
at present the value of the territory is
chiefly due to the profusion of vegeta
ble products supplied bj' the rich soil.
Shrub Perfume.
The perfume of commerce known as
"cassle," manufactured for the most
part In France, Is found In abundance
In the Philippine Islands In the Acacia
fameslana, a shrub which grows on
hundreds of acres of land near Manila
and throughout the dry parts of the en
tire Islands. This shrub has small
gplny leaves and produces a short
black pod. The flower from which the
essence Is obtained la golden yellow.
No Help Needed.
Johnny (a small brother)—Mother,
quick. Send for the doctor! Mother
(anxiously) — Why—why—what's the
matter? Who la ill? Johnny—Mr.
Algernon Is going to die—he said he
would If sister would not marry him,
and sister says she won't.—London Tel
egraph.
Quick Change.
"Here, you! What do you mean by
telling that red nosed old bachelor
friend of yours that marriage to all a
lottery?"
"I was Just about to assure him,
in'dear, that I won a prize."—Louis
ville Courier-Journal.

with a portable drill quickly and economically.
Hob-nailed footwear for miners was the rule, too—until The 13. F.
G x>drich Company made rubber boots and shoes with soles that Outwear
Steel. Miners everywhere are finding that they do not have
to half-sole these wonderful boots and shoes—"Hipress"
soles outwear the hobnails themselves. tr ^
)
These boots are MOLDED—just like the
famous Goodrich Automobile Tires—INTO
ONE SOLID PIECE. They can't peel, or crack,
or leak. "Hipress" is pure white in color and
has a "RedXIne 'round theTop"to distinguish
it from all other footwear. Look for that "Red
Line" because only "Hipress" Boots and Shoes
have soles that are tougEer than steel.
