£50,000. “1f that is all the expense, it is cheap. The late Gen. Francis A. Walker, who was a census authority greater than any other, living or dead, once wrote that “the people of the United States can well afford to pay for the very best census they can get.” He penned this remark in connection with a frank confession of his own shortsightedness In underestimating the cost of the tenth census. . It's the old story: When you are ill get the best doctor you can afford.

The comparative cheapness with which the thirteenth census has been taken was ° :argely due to Director E. Dana Durand’s economical methods, to the introduction of semi-au-tomatic electrical card-punching, tabulating and sorting'machines, and to the inheritance of wisdom from the experience gained by the permanent census bureau. During the term of the latter the methods of inquiry, tabulation and compilation have been greatly improved, both in accuracy and in economy. Milllons will be saved. - = - . Mr. Durand is responsible for many of the new methods to Increase statistical accuracy at every step of the census taking and to decrease the per capita cost of the enumeration. The card-punching, tabulating, and sorting machinery is the invention of a census' mechanical expert and the patent rights belong to Uncle Sam. The machines are novel in plan and design, are of greater speed and efficiency than those they superseded, and can be built and opérated at a large saving of money as com-pared-with previous expenditures for this purpose. : j : Other money-saving features are the elimination of the vital-statistics inquiry from the work of the decennial census, as it belongs to the permanent branch of the TUnited States census; the reduction in the number of schedules, the piece-price method of paying for machine work, the omission of the hand, household and neighborhood industries™ from the manufactures branch of the census, and the reduction of the size and number of copies of the final report. : Congress limited the thirteenth census to four general, subjects—population, agriculture, manufactures, and mines and quarries. The director is authorized to determine the form and subdivision of inquiries. The inquiry as to population relates to the date April 15, 1910: that as to agriculture concerns the farm operaticns during 1909 and calls for an inventory of farm equipment April 15, 1910; that relative to manufactures and quarries is for 1909. The enumeration carried only the population and agriculture schedules April 15, 1910. Special agents were sent out with the schedules for the manufactures, mines and quarries data. There were fully 65,000 enumerators, of whom about 45,000 carried both the population and -agriculture schedules, as it is estimated that there are now fully 7,000,000 separate farms in America, with farmers numbering well up into a score of millions. In 1910 there were many, more billions of dollars of fixed capital invested in agriculture than there were in manufactures, strange as it may seem. And the farmer is getting better off all the time:

Masterpiece of Glass Work

In the British museum, in London, on exhibition, is the Portland vase, the masterpiece of ancient glasswork. A chance discovery led to the rescue of this magnificent urn from the grave, where it had laln for hundreds of years, hidden and unknown. The vase was found early in the seventeenth century by some laborers, who, digging on a hillock in the neighborhood of Rome, broke into a small vault.

On further examination it revealed a suite of three sepulchral chambers. In the largest room they found a finely sculptured sarcophagus, which contained the beautiful vase. It was full of ashes, but it bore no inscription as to the remains it held, nor has the mystery ever been solved which shrouds its origin. The vase was deposited in the Barberini palace, where it remained until 1770, when the representative of the Barberini family, a Roman princess, was forced to part with it to pay her gambling debts. The vase changed hands twice, then it was disposed of to the duchess of Portland, but with such secrecy that her own family was not aware of the transaction until after her death.

At the sale of the duchess of Portland’s collection it was purchased by her son, the third duke of Portland, for the sum of $5,145, and it was deposited in the museum by his successor. The vase was wantonly smashed in pileces by a drunken visitor, but the fragments were, however, joined ‘together, but the bottom, with its mysterious figure in Phrygian cap, was not replaced. . ~ The material of this vase was long almost

Three hundred of these were used and 90,000,000 cards were ordered. ' After the punching the cards are hand-fed into an electric tabulating machine with a “pin-box” attachment which permits the re--quired pins to pass.through the variously placed holes in the cards, in' this establishing an electric circuit resulting in the tabulation of the items on counters which register their results in printing on spooled paper somewhat like a stock “ticker.” 'There are 100 of these machines. After certain comparisons to prove accuracy, the schedules are permanently preserved in a great iron safe in the census bureau. As the card does not contain the name of the persons for whom it stands, all personal identily is eliminated from the cards. All danger of ‘misuse of such information disappears. Severe penaltles are provided in case any employee Qiscloses census information to outsiders. The next step is the making of the maps and tables to accompany the analyses, 'and then, finally, the issue of the printed bulletins and reports. Before July 1, 1912, the work must be over and the thirteenth census gone to join its scientific ancestors. = - : -

Romance of Olld Portugal

The recent deposition of King Manuel of Portugal and the events in the young king's life that led up to it will no doubt bring back to the minds of some of the older residents of the city the story of Elise Hensier, the Springfield girl who married a king and became the Countess Edla. R

The king she married was Don Ferdinand 11. of Portugal, a great grandfather of King Manuel. Elise lived in Springfield about 60 years ago, probably for about four years. The Henslers were humble people and lived simply. The daughters, Elise and Louise, were well recelved here and were given a good musical education, especially Elise, whc had quite a remarkable voice. Signor Guidi, an Jtalian, at the time a well known teacher of the volce, took an interest in Elise and it was when Signor Guidi went to Boston that the Hensiers went there, largely through hig influence. He believed that Elise had a future as a singer and wished her to be where he could continue :teaching her.

Elise Hensler after her removal with her family to Boston continued her studies. She was perseverant in her work and progressed so well that she not only appeared in concerts in the large cities in this country, but also in Europe, where she sang before royalty. It was while singing in Lisbon several years after the death of Queen Maria that King Ferdinand heard her voice and felt the attraction that led him to marry her. : Ferdinand was the titular king of ‘Portugal, having been the second husband of Queen Maria 11. of Portugal. Ferdinand married Maria In 1836, when he was 20. The queen died in 1853, and he was regent during the minority of his son, Pedro V., who was the father of the assassinated King Carlos, the grandfather of the deposed King Manuel. The regency ended in 1855, and on June 10, 1869, he married Miss Hensler. : When the European powers decided the time had come to restore Spain to a monarchy, following the overthrow of the shert republic, which existed from 1873 to 1875, considerable pressure was brought to bear.upon Ferdinand to induce him to accept the vacant throne. But his wife could never be queen of Spain, and it is possible that this fact alone induced him to refuse. v THis absolute refusal on his part to accept the throne of Spain, with all the pomp and splendor of royalty in exchange for the romantic life that he was living with his morganatic wife, had far-reaching consequences. The complications and jealousies resultant on the attempt to find a king acceptable to all the powers. helped to bring on the Franco-Prussian war, and Alsace and Lorraine went back to Germany, whence they had been wrested by Napoleon Bonaparte. In consequence of these peculiar historical facts, which geographically practically changed all western Europe, Elise Hensler, Countess Edla, became famous throughout the world as “the woman who changed the map of Europe.” During the life of the king they lived in the beautiful castle of Cintra. It is certain that their life was agove reproach. In 1885 the king dled, and after that the countess lived in retirement in a cottage near the castle.

to the shower pipe’' with their noses in order to call the attention of the stablemen to their desire for a shower bath. One evening the stablemen were in somewhat of a hurry and tried to get the mules out of the water without the shower. One animal, more determined than the rest, refused to be driven out, and the water was turned on to oblige that particular mule. This saved time, as the mule is a pretty difficult object even for a dozen men to handle, especially in the water.”— Washington Post.

A Corner in Ancestors , | /By ELEANOR LEXINGTON V Tilden Family ,

Tilden is one of those names taken “from the face of nature,” as the dgrivation books says, and originally signified a tiller of the soil. There are several forms of name—Tilden, Tildan, Tilding, Tildren, Tilden and Tillidon; Telton is also found once in a while. The English family from which the American family branched spelled the name Tylden. It is of great antiquity and has been noble - for generations. Away back in the times of Henry 11., the first king of the Plantagenet line, who came to the throne of England in 1154, there are’ records of a Sir Richard Tylden. Henry's son, Richard Coeur de Lion, with Philip 11., of France, led the third crusade to the O il N ‘ - W o LA P \ ; CS S : ,‘, 'A .‘c g S e = L} . - ._. ¢ ‘ ope. |, EN} .‘ TRV A AND\/ TYS o - @ildex holy land in 1190, and one of his companions was either Sir Richard Tylden himself or Sir Richard’s son.

Bancroft Family

Bancroft may be a mame derived from bane or baynes, meaning white, or fair, and croft, an Anglo-Saxon word for a small enclosed field. In some parts of Scotland, and the Orkney and Shetland isles, crofters are small holders of land. The term f{s now almost wholly confined to the western highlands. Bancroft may mean a small, white field, as Ashcroft means a close where ash trees grow, and Allcroft or Hallcroft an enclosure by the hall. Croft {s a common termination of surnames. About-the only variations of-Bancroft are Bancraft and Bancreaft. We have no records of any of the family crossing the channel from France. To boasts made of the antiquity of prominent families and that their ancestors came over with the Conqueror, John Bright, most sarcastic of men where the nobility was concerned, used to reply promptly, “I never heard that they did anything else.” We, however, are not going back on the Conqueror’s knights because the Bancroft name is not on Battle abbey roll. The family is doubtless of Anglo-Saxon origin. They flourished in Lancashire, where Richard Bancroft, archbishop of Canterbury, or primate of England, was born, in 1544. He was ‘“chief overseer,” as he was called, of the authorized version of the Bible, published 1612. ..

We are more concerned at present, however, with those hardy pioneers of the new world, of the Baneroft name and lineage; men who bravely grappled with the dangers and endured the hardships incident to the new settlement. Men of stout arms. and courageous hearts, who were part of that life, where every man had to make his own way, and the devil take the hindmost.

One pilgrim father. was John Bancroft of Warston-on-Trent, Derby, of whom we know that he was married in England before 1622; that about 1632, with wife Jane and son Thomas, he was living in Lynn, or Lynnfield, or Reading, Mass., and that he died in 1637.- He had another son, his namesake, John. Thomas was in the Indian wars, with the rank of ensign and afterward he was “lieutenant of the Foot company of Lynn.” Lieutenant Thomas was one who believed it not good for man to be alone and when his first wife; Alice Bacon, of Dedham, died, or as soon after as the ’proprieties«‘7 permitted, he married Elibazeth Metcalf, born in England. Among the Bancrofts who bore arms in the Continental army and were officers may be mentioned Lieutecant Samuel of Connecticut; of NNS NSNS NS NI NSNS NN NS NGNS NSNS NNS NS N NSNS NSNS NSNS The Flowers of the Forest. The plaintive old melody, with its pathetic verses was the favorite Scottish song of King Edward, and for that reason was played by the bands on one of the ceremonial occasions connected with his funeral obsequies, the somewhat dirge-like air harmonizing with the solemn occasion. The earliest known copy of this fine melody is preserved in Edinburgh, and appears to have been written in the earlier part of the seventeenth century. The old balland, a lament for

1625. He had a wife and children with him: But four years later when a division of cattle was made and, all the colonists were mentioned in a list, his name is lacking. As no deaths had occurred in the meantime, it is supposed that he and his family returned to England." ’ Nathaniel Tilden, Sir Richard’'s descendant, was in New England before 1628. The family from which he came had lived for .several centuriés in Tenterden, County Kent; about the time he came it separated into three distinct branches. QOne branch went to Sussex, one settled at Ifield, and one came to America. It is not known just when Nathaniel came over. But he is mentioned as a property holder at Scituat‘e, Mass., in the first official records of the place, ‘dated 1628; the record is a sale by Henry Merritt to Nathaniel Tilden “of all that land which 1 had of Goodman Byrd lying within the fence at the north end of the third cliffe. unto the land of Nathaniel Tilden.” He was among the earliest settlers there, called the “men of Kent;” because of their birthplace; some of the others were Thomas Bird, Edward Foster, Menry Rowler, Anthony Annable and. William Gilison. Nathaniel's youngest son, Stephen, married, in 1662, Hannah, granddaughter of Richard Little, who had come to America in the “Mayflower.” They had 12 children. . . Throughout its history the Tilden family has married into other historic families. The late William Smith Tilden, ‘member of the Massachusetts legislature in 1879, married Olive, a descendant of Robert Babcock, one of the first settlers of Dorchester, Mass. His father and grandfather had married, ~respectively, Catherine Smith and Hannah Perry, both descended from men of importance in ante-revo-lutionary days. The late Samuel J.
