HOUSE NOTES.

Of the seventeen foals dropped by Miss Russell, the dam of Maud S., only three are dead, and it is estimated that her living produce represent a valuation of not less than $250,000. Six of her foals are still owned at Woodburn, they being Nutula, Lord Russell, Lady Russell, Russia, Pistachio and Rusina. Miss Russell, who is now in her 24th year, will be bred this season to King Wilkes. Her foals thus far have been by three horses—Harold, Belmont and Electioneer.

Bow Bells, the 2-year-old brother of Bell Boy, St. Bel, Hinda Rose and Palo Alto Belle, all in the 2:30 list, and two of them having records better than *2:20 at 3 years of age, bids fair to be in the list with the rest of the family before the season is over. Marvin drove him a mile at Palo Alto in 2:32 not long ago, and, barring accident, he will beat 2:30 before winter comes, in which event Beautiful Bells will have five of her produce in the 2:30 list, while another one, Chimes, is just across the line in 2:30M- For her age (she was foaled in 1874) Beautiful Bells is the greatest brood mare in the country.

France has 3,000,000 horses an, increase since 1882 of nearly 100,000 and had a large surplus for export. In 1887 France imported 10,000 horses, principally cheap cab horses, from Germany, and exported 34,518 horses, including 3,820 stallions for breeding, chiefly to the United States, while Germany imported last year 73,519 horses, principally from France and England and exported only 11,428.

Longfellow Whip, the racing stallion, has had a receiver appointed for him, Wallace D. Moore. Louis N. Shoenfeld,filled a bill in the Circuit Court of Chicago, two days ago against James D. Speers, of Evansville, Intl., who is his partner in the ownership of Longfellow. Speers, Schonfeld say. lias travelled with the horse, but has not accounted to him since November, 1887, and has always represented that the receipts have not been equal to the expenses.

Trotting uil J'ueing at Indianapolis. The annual race-meeting of the Indiana Trotting and Pacing Horse-breeders'Asso-ciation will occur this year ou four days next week, including Tuesday, the opening day. Particular attention has been given to securing the best stock for these races, and the success of the meetings heretofore, it is expected, will be repeated. The programme for the four days will be as follows: Tuesday, Sept. 10, New Denison House stake, for trotting foals of 1886 sixteen entries: 2:30 pace purse, $200, pacing foals of 1886 five entries. Wednesday, 11th, Bates house stake, for trotting foals of 1887 eighteen entries pacing foals of 1887 six entries 2:30 trot, purse, $200 match race, yearling trotters, for $200 a ,skle. Thursday, 12th, pacing foals of 1885 two entries 2:40 trot, purse, $?00 trotting foals of 1885 five entries. Friday, 13th,

Futurity stake, trotting foals of 1887 sixiteen entries Grand Hotel stake, for trot

ting foals of 1888 two entries. The races will take place on the State fair ground track which has been improved, and is now considered one of the best in the State.

If you have not enough fodder on hand to carry your stock through the winter, make preparations for putting your corn fodder up in good shape. Why n^t save all the latter anyway? You could sell some of your hay, you know, to good advantage if you should find yoti have more than you will need for your stock.

The community that raises good draft or carriage horses will be found prosperous and progressive. When eight or ten good teams will bring into a neighborhood from $3,000 to $5,000 it helps everybody in it and drives the wolf from many a door. Wherever good horses are, prosperity

A Future Queen.

The most interesting young princess of Europe is the Princess Royal Wilhelmina Helena Pauline Marie, who will be the next queen of Holland, and who was almost proclaimed queen regent several months since. The Princess Wilhelmina will be 9 years old the 31st of next August. Her father, King William III, of the Netherlands, was supposed to be dying on the 3d of April, when the states general decreed him incapable of reigning. It was then that the little 8-year-old princess was on the point of ascending the throne of Holland. But her father has since recovered his health and she is in no immediate likelihood of becoming queen. Princess Wilhelmina is a bright looking little girl.

A New Cigar.

Much excitement has been caused, says a London correspondent of The Birmingham Post, by the introduction of a new kind of cigar into the high class clubs of London. The ingredients of which it is composed remain a secret with the soi disant inventors, but the effect produced upon the consumers is said to be magical. The softness of perfume, the aromatic flavor, and, above all, the. soothing qualities of this new cigar are undisputed, but it does not contain a particle of tobacco.

THE WORK 8US OF

TAKING UNITED

THE CENSTATES.

•HE

Steady ami Remarkable Improvements

Made in tli« Methods Employed—The

First Census Was Taken in 1790—The

Thorough Way It Is Now Done.

In a lig room in the attic of the interior department is one of the most interesting collections in the possession of the government—and yet there are not a hundred persons in this city who know of its existence. In this room are thousands of leather bound books of all sizes, lettered on the backs as the case may be, "First Census," "Second Census," etc. These books are the original returns made by the enumerators in taking every census from the year 1790, when the first census was taken, down to 1S80, the year of the last census. Prior to 1850 only the names of the heads of families were taken, but when the census of that year was collected the name of every individual in the United States was enumerated. This room, consequently, contains the name of every man, woman and child who lias been born or who has lived in this country since the first day of June. 1 So0.

THE OLD WAY.

1 do not think many people know of this, and at some time it may be of the greatest use to lawyers and others who are engaged in the search for missing heirs, and who want to ascertain whether a certain person was living at a particular time.

It is an interesting study to note the evolution of the census, so to speak. For instance, in turning to the first census the first volume on which I laid my hands happened to be the returns for Northumberland and Mifflin counties, Pennsylvania. It is a book of about a couple of hundred pages, 4x8 inches. On the fly leaf appears this inscription written in a fair hand:

James Potter's return. Northumberland and Mifflin.

The inside page facing the first leaf, reads: The number of persons within my division, consisting of 22, .153, appears in a schedule hereunto annexed, subscribed by me this 26th day of April, 1791. JAKKS POTTER,

Assistant to the Marshal of Pennsylvania.

There are no printed headings as are found in later census returns, and at the top of every page the subdivisions are written. At that time all that the enumerator was required to do was to take the names of the heads of families, the number of males in each family above and under 16 years of age, the number of females, without regard to age, "all other free persons" and the slaves. Apparently the government did not provide books of a uniform size for the use of the enumerators, for some of them are big and others small.

In the second census a great stride was made in the way of obtaining a more accurate and thorough enumeration. This year printed headings were used, and the ages were divided as follows: Under 10, of 10 and under 16, of 16 and under 26, of 26 and under 45, of 45 and upwards. The same classification was adopted for females.

The third adopted the same age divisions, but in addition some slight attention was paid to manufactures.

The changes made in the fourth were the addition of a column for the ages of males between 16 and 18, the enumeration of unnaturalized persons, the number of people engaged in agriculture, commerce and manufactures. Separate volumes for the first time were devoted to industrial statistics, and the occupations were minutely divided. An investigation was also instituted as to the amount of material used in manufacturing establishments, the number of persons employed, value of the plant, production, revenue, etc.

The fifth made the enumeration still more definite. The age schedule was divided in this way: Under 5, from 5 to 10, 10 to 15, 15 to 20, and from 20 in 10 year periods up to 100. The deaf, dumb and blind were also enumerated.

In the sixth for the first time the number of pensioners "for revolutionary and military services" was given. The educational, industrial and commercial statistics are very complete.

The seventh was really the first thorough census, as it gave for the first time the name of every person in the United States at the time that the census was taken. The occupation or profession of every male, the value of his real estate, the school attendance, the number of illiterates, the insane, indigent and criminal were all counted. Slaves for the first time were enumerated in separate volumes, as were also the mortality statistics. The amount of taxation, the number of libraries, newspapers, the different religious denominations, with the value of their property, and the question of wages all received attention.

The eighth and ninth were on about the same scale, with some slight additions, a noticeable feature of the latter being the cause of death of every individual who had died during the census year.

When we come to the tenth, it would be easier to tell of the subjects which it did not handle than those which it did. Almost everything capable of being put into figures went into that work, and the number of volumes is almost without limit. A sight of the returns of the enumerators conveys abetter idea of the magnitude of the work than any amount of description can.—Washington Letter.

Different Initials.

Twin boys having been born in Uncle Rastus' house, the serious question rose what names should be given them. A council was called. "Dar's one ting," said Aunt Lizy, "dat's got ter be 'tended to.

He nsed Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and says it succeeded, where all other remedies failed. Not a case was lost in which it was used.
