United Staten Population Then Was l.enN T!i:in 4,000,OOO. "When the first census of the United States was taken in 1790, there were 10 states and the southwest and north west territories. The returns fixed the population at 3,929,214, while those of 1900 give over 70,000,000. 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 cen sus library is a record of the first cen sus, which shows that the census of 1790 was ordered in March and com pleted by October, 1791, a very credita ble showing when the difficulty of com munication is considered. The popula tion was divided into five classes—free white males of 10 years and upward, including heads of families; free white females, including heads of families; free white males under 10 years, other persons, slaves. Fourteen enumeration districts were mapped out of the 1(5 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 popu lation of 747,010 whites and 292,000 slaves. North Carolina was second, with 393,751 whites and 100,000 slaves. Maryland had a population of 422,750, of which 103,030 were slaves. The slave population of the northern states is given as follows: New Hampshire, 158; Rhode Island, 948; Connecticut, 2,704; New York, 21,- 324; New Jersey, 11,423; Pennsylvania, 3,237; Delaware, 8,887; Vermont, 10. The population of the southwest ter ritory was 35,091 whites and 3,417 slaves. TJ{ie record is full of errors in calcula tion Jful addition, but is interesting in showing how the population lias in creased and how the art of census tat* lng has developed with the population. —Baltimore Sun. 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 tbat tbe man who "ditln t know it Was loaded” kills and maims annually a great many per sons. The only safe rule with a gun is never under any circumstances to point it at anybody, One should al ways act on the assumption that it is loaded. Unfortunately, though, an aver age human being learns only by ex perience, 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 les son on his son. This is how he told the story; “I want my son to be a sportsman, so tbat when he gets to be as old as his father he may have as many pleasant memories to look hack to. Therefore, on his sixteenth birthday I gave him a rifle. And instead of rend ing him a long lecture on the necessity of handling the weapon carefully, I put up a job on bint that would be far more effective. After be bad spent a couple of hours fondling It and cleaning it and examining the mechanism, after the manner of healthy boys, 1 contriv ed unknown to him to slip a blank cartridge into tbe breach. “Then 1 called him out into the yard and holding my hat in front of me. ask ed him to show me how lt£ would take alnt at it. There was an explosion, and he fell In a dead faint. You may think It mean of me, hut I allowed him to think that only the badness of his aim or some Intervention of Providence saved me from death. The lesson he learnCU will last him through life, be cause a terrible fright accompanied it. Some day when he gets old enough to have a boy of his own, 1 shall tel! him of the trick 1 played on him.”—New York Herald. So It Wee. “Mamma, come quick! The catsup on the shelf.” “Drat that cat! I’ll make fiddle strings of her In no time if 1 lay my hands on her! She’s forever into some thing.” and the enraged materfamilias 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 va3 a cat on the shelf.” “Yes, you did. You said, ‘Tbe’s cat’s up on the shelf.’ ” “So I did. and I say it yet. The cat sup 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.— Pearson’s Weekly. Side Traeklnc the SJeatUs.

Jasper, Georgia, Friday > February, 5 , 1901 . IN THE MATTER OF CRYING. Wltile Weeping I.t Quite Natural, It May Be “Crrs’ctl” In Children. It comes natumJ to every woman to pity a child when it hurts itself. Bo the misadventure l)lg or little, the mother Immediately in takes the little one In her arms and her most sympa thetic, pitying tones tries to solace it. And of course the child concludes something t vrible has happened to it and cries vigorously. A little baby if pitied can soon be brought to a weep ing state when nothing whatever is the matter with i't. Just call up your most tender, sympathetic tone; ask him that time honored question. "Did they boos the baby?” and the little lips will begin to quiver, the mouth to droop, and soon a wail breaks, f >rth that is meant to In dicate that "they" did. Of con se ch’Mrcn will cry some times.. Crying >s tm institution that cannot be done away with. Crying, more or less, is expected with the advent of the little stranger, but the more or less depends largely < :i the parents. A child can be la; ghed in.o a good hu mor. Instead of pitying him at the nu merous little hurts lie gets, those that are really of no Importance, treat them as a good joke. Laugh at them, and the baby will quickly laugh with you. It doesn't lake long to chase the tears away. Besides doing away with a lot of unnecessary crying it teaches him not to mind little hurts and devel ops a brave, manly little fellow. This does not apply to serious mishaps, blit to those numerous little bumps which youngsters are continually gettiug and which a little pity quickly magnifies into something of importance in child ish eyes. Never giving a child anything he cries for is another excellent way to nip in the bud the crying habit. If it is proper for him to have, promise it to him when he stops t rying. Reward his good behavior, not his bad. Of course if bad habits in this direction are form ed, it is hard to correct them. But such discipline observed from the beginning will make crying an infrequent per formance in the homo where the youth ful monarch reigns.—Philadelphia Tele graph. THE TITLE REILLY TOOK, He Made ilimseltGis tile; a'it'nn an (Its l?i*st of Them. “When you mention the name of John Iteilly, you touch a reminiscent chord in the hearts of hundreds of the older residents of Baltimore.” remark ed a well known gentleman. “On one occasion Reilly bad to jour ney to Philadelphia en business. !t was in the time of the old stagecoaches, and he made his way leisurely along. Upon arriving there he registered at one of the leading hotels. That leads up to my story. At that time it was custom ary for men to add to their signatures such titles or evidences of dignity as they possessed. When Reilly looked over tlie hotel register, he saw some thing like this: ‘.John Jones. LL. L).; William Smith, A. M., A. B.; Samuel Johnson. D. D.’ Seizing a pen, he in scribed the following: ‘John Reilly, F. R. S.' Then he went about his busi ness and spent a pleasant and profita ble afternoon. “Returning to tbe hotel at night, he was met by a committee of leading and. learned citizens. They greeted him with great deference and expressed their gratification that such a distinguished man should be in their midst. He was urgently requested to deliver a lecture before some seientifie body during his stay. You sec. they judged from the mystic letters on the hotel register that he was a fellow of the Royal society. “Reilly was a man of imposing per sonal appearance. He made himself very agrees bit* to the committee, but could hot name a date for the lecture.

When Spotters Unknown to One Another Ci-ohh I.turn. ‘•‘Probably the most perfect spotter system achieved by any private cor ntfration,” says S. H. Adams in Aius Ice's, “is that of one of the big eastern railroads, which Is to some extent tiodeled on the secret service system of some of the eastern governments, though by no menus so complex. '“So farrenclilng and so direct, how ever, are Us lines of communication tlyit the president of the organization is himself kept constantly Inform* 4 of the trend of affairs and th^ changes of sentiment among the emiuoyees of every division and subdivision of tin* whole railway system, and that with out the knowledge of any other perse as but bis own special corps of clerks and secretaries. “Nobody but himself knows the en tire personnel of the Wonderful service that he has perfected. Ills agents are drawn from every branch of the road'3 operating staff. They are engineers, freight brakeinen, passenger trainmen, conductors, signalmen, yardmen, sta tion agents, track walkers anti even division officials. Should that rota! have a strike—and strikes are far less likely to occur titan they were before the present system was put Into op eration—the president will have de tailed warnings of it from ail (lie storm centers long before the liist mat torlngs find cautious utterance in the newspapers. “While it also acts ns a defense against thefts by employees, this sys tem is intended primarily to prepare, so’to speak, n diary of the disposition, character, working etlielency nnd senti ments toward tlie road of the men who constitute the vast human macblnety of the corporation. The feeling which eliminates in a general strike Is net the result of oi^e act alone, but a shut growth made up of many grievance ,, real or fancied. “To keep track of the shifting an'utul at Hude of his employees is the aim of railroad ph suient."If "a - division superintendent lias made him self unpopular with Ills subordinates, information to that effect comes ‘by underground wire’ to the central office, and tbe matter Is taken under ndvise ment. If the newest fireman on the road attempts to stir up discontent hy inflammatory talk, his views soon reach the official ear. Every leading spirit in the employees’ organization is known to the president, who also knows whether, In case of trouble, the man is to be reckoned niton as a con servative or a radical. “Sometimes this works out tbe man’s career in a manner quite incomprehen sible to him. For Instance, Night Watchman Brown Is shifted without cause that he can fathom from one di vision to another. How should lie know that rumors of trouble In that di vision have reached the presidential ear cud that lie himself, being down in the president's little book as a speaker of weight and a counselor of conserva tive methods, has been shifted over to act ns unconscious agent in checking a dangerous tendency? “Some of tho admiring coworkers of the head of this system declare that in two minutes’ reference to his collected funds of information he can unroll the family history of the woman who washes the windows of car No. 411-14X and tell whether, in her estimation, he himself is an oppressor of the down trodden ora perfect gentleman. “Where so many invisible lines radi ate from the same office it Is inevitable that some of them should cross. Curi ous complications result from contact between spotters as unknown to each other as they are to those whom they watch. “Several years ago at a time of gen eral labor troubles a certain railroad got no less than five reports from Its confidential men informing them that an employee who was several degrees higher in the secret service of the road titan any of them, had they but known it, had been making incendiary speech es. “This was true. Matters had so shaped themselves that the man ac cused hail to appear as a radical in or der to gain admittance to Inner coun cils where die important questions would be faintly decided.

Atlanta In Alnslee’s, “is insult* up mostly c.f men who come properly under the head of detectives with police powers, but It lias its class of bona fide spot ters, whose entire duty it is to ingrati ate themselves with persons suspected of having designs to evade tho custom house duties and to warn the baggage inspectors at this end of the impend ing swindle. “In cleverness, address and adapta bility the .secret service spotter is easi ly at the head of his profession and even ranks with the trained experts of the European diplomatic corps. It is essential that he should be a man of the world, for be must associate with all kinds of people on eqfial terms. lie lias no fixed abode, but lives in va rious European capitals when be is not on shipboard, where lie is much of the time.

Speaking of the late William Travers loads me to remark that, so far its ! am personally aware, only one of tlx* classic stuttering stories about him is actually true, s had the honor and happiness to reside at Newport for a year or so once, and at the time Mr. Travers was a summer resident there. He certainly stuttered a good deal, but be did not go around habitually dis charging staccato witticisms at the world, as you might suppose be did from all the stories you bear. But tfit one story that I know about is this one: Travers was at a garden party one afternoon when a young lady said to him. “What time is It, please. Mr. Travers?” Travers took out his watch, wabbled his mouth awhile, blinked and finally said, “It’ii be s-s-s-s-six o’c-c-c-c-clock by tbe time I can say It!"

It is said to be true that In all hospi tals those rooms facing the sun have fewer deaths, other things being equal, than those which are on the shady side of the house. Likewise statistics, where they hove been kept, prove that the av erage time for a recovery is much less In a sunny room than In a shady one. From these facts and from the fact that the tendency toward illness has proved greater on the shady side of buildings. like prisons and asylums, it follows that light is second only in im portance to fresh air. A dark room is nearly but not quite so bad as a close yoctn. lu the case of sickness the sick room should lie the sunniest one the house affords.
