The idea of the census originated among the Romans, when, a group of the many functions performed by the high "officer callad ccasor received the name of census. It was taken every five years and indicated not only ti e number o the respective classes of the people, but their domestic positions as husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, sons nnd dauchters. The first modern nation to take up the census was tne United Str. tea of America in 1790. The first British census was in 1801, but this did not include Ireland. " " Nearly a Hero. "Hands up!"

IT SHOOK HIS NERVES. An Incident That Made a Man Feel Queer For Awhile. "One night," said a lawyer, "L was preparing some tedious plcadnrro n"liirli linil to bf filllltllltfnd if)

court Uie following mommg, and, knowing that I would need every moment of mv time, I locked my-. self in a small private consultation room in the rear of my suit, where no chance caller could interrupt me. The room is very diminutive, with only one window, looking into a court, and no furniture except a table and two or three chairs. Well, I worked on steadily hour after hour long after the city had settled into sleep and silence. The building was so still I could hear even an occasional mouse scamper across the floor alone. At last 1 concluded the task and, sitting erect in my chair, began to stretch my cramped limbs. "As I diO so my eyes happened to fall on a lighted cigar stump lying on the carpet not four feet away, and I stopped stock still, frozen with amazement. I do not smoke. I had been sitting for hours in that little locked room. I could swear that no one had entered. The window was tightly closed, yet there right at my feet lay a half consumed cigar with a great live coal still glowing at the end. It seems ridiculous to confess, but a thrill of horror ran through me like a galvanic shock. A hallucination of any kind is an appalling thing; it makes no difference how grotesque or homely the subject. It carries such frightful suggestion of breakdown in one's mental engine room. "Well, I finally summoned up enough nerve to stoop down nnd examine the s-tump. and what do you think it was? Why, a tin foil capsule from the top of an ordinary quart bottle of mucilage. Tn stripping it off it had assumed the circular twist of a cigar and, the foil being brown, was just the right color. The rod seal at the top formed the coal, and a yard or so away the illusion was perfect. I drew a deep breath of relief, but it was actually several days before my nerves re sumed their normal tension. New Orleans Times-Democrat. Strong Words. Bis words pass for sense with some people nnd sometimes may be very successfully used when nothing else will answer, says cm English writer. Thus when a man, in great alarm, ran to his minister to tell him he could see spots on the sun and thou cht the world must be com ing to an cnd'Oh, don't be afraid," said the good minister, "it s nothing but a phantasmagoria." "Is that all?" said the frightened man, and then he went away relieved. A very smart lawyer some time since had the misfortune to lose a case for a client who had every reason to expect success. The client, a plain old farmer, was astounded ny the long bill ot co3ts and, Hastening to the lawyer's offic, sai'd, "I thought you told rac wa ahould certainly gain that suit?" "80 I did' answered the lawyer, "but, yoa. in, when I brought it up there befor the ludecs thev Faid it was a quo rum non judicc." "Well, if they said it was as bad as that," replied the old fanner, "I don't wonder wc lost it." And he paid the costs and a big fee besides without another murmur. Gladstone's Handshake. An Aberdeen paper tells a Gladstone story of the memorable Midlothian tour. On one occasion there was a great handshaking ordeal at the window of the old gentleman's railway carriage, and he was rapidly getting the worst of it. A stalwart young policeman who accompanied Mr. Gladstone proved equal to the occasion. Crouching behind the great man and thrusting his hand under Mr. Gladatone's Inverness cape, the muscular "weler" gave each comer in turn a grip that had no lack of cordiality. "The auld man's uncommon vcegorous at hi3 time o' life," observed one unsuspecting Scot as he stroked Iiis fingers.
