.In 1 tm the last century before Cudi-r the constitution of Solon •ns of Athens were divided and

registered into four classes according to

nt of their taxable property or The Roman census was bur

dened with more statistics than any of these simple enumerations. It originated under Send os Tullias, sixth long

solemnity. It is not at all likely any

woman was found sufficiently fear of conaeqnenccs to make

faces at census officers or withhold de-

red information.

Every citizen had to appear upon the Campus Martina and declare upon oath his name and dwelling and the valne of his property under the penalty of having his goods confiscated and of being scourged and sold for a slave. There trouble about haring such a census full and complete. It had the benefit, too. of making the people to be count- " jus to find the census man, while not put to the labor of going from house to house to find the people. Augustus Cjcsar, who had a great bead for detail, when he had the population numbered greatly enlarged the scope of the census and improved the method of The census of modern Europe is comparatively recent. No exact popular enumerations were made in the Seventeenth century, but in the Eighteenth great progress was made in the development of statistical science. In Russia taking of the census in a crude way began in 1700, and in 1719, under Peter the Great, though improvement had been made, females were omitted from

the enumeration.

IN EUKOPEAX COUNTRIES. Census taking in Prussia dates from the time of Frederick William IL The Prussian census of today is very exact and complete. It is taken by civil offiday by means of printed schedules. The first census in Austria taken in 1751, and for 100 rears was taken each three years for military puronly. In Sweden the science of statistics has been particularly cultivated, and Belgium ranks among the first nations of the world in completeness of its national statistics. In Italy the returns of this character are very complete, the range of inquiries haring been greatly extended. The movement of the population is determined from dvil register* kept by the municipal authorities. Is Turkey enumeration is imperfect, the chief object of taking it being to provide a basis for taxation and conscription. In France the first census of which records are extant was taken in 1700.

The crew, sheltered from the wind by

the loe bulwarks, awvited in silence an order for action there where it should be

neccMKary. But at the supreme moof such a cataclysm which sweeps

all, which bruises faces, stifles vcricee, when the water has stiffened the cordage and sails, when the vceael under bare poles crouches and quivers under the anger of the tempest, regular work is out of the question and the helmsman is the only one who pursues any active labor, but the schooner, held by the weight of the dredge which she drags, does not obey

the helm with her usual readiness. After an hour of fierce rage the thick lasses of cloud are suddenly broken,

and behind them hangs a thin curtain of vapor which is dissipated in a few min-

tes and the blue of heaven reappears. Soon the squall hiding the opposite

horizon glides away from us by a mysterious power and no trace is left on the

mobile sea to betray its passage. The schooner anchors and hoists

The families and occupations were classified, so as to exhibit the number employed in agriculture, in trade thoee not comprised in the claases.

There is another consideration in connection with the use of the hair brash, which, though it may scarcely need i tiou, should not be overlooked. The brash should be kept clean. It gives one a shudder to see the brashes and combs that are sometimes supplied places of jiublic resort. No one should any more than a public tooth brash, unless it becomes a matter of absolute necessity; but the fact remains that the individual article requires to be properly cared for, else it becomes an instrument of danger rather than a delight. If the case is not very aggravated the bristles may be washed in lukewarm water, to which a few drops of ammonia can be added. This will clear away the accumulated dost and dirt as by magic. The bristles can be rinsed in pure water and allowed to dry in an airy place; the brush should not be exposed to the son, nor should the back of it be wet at any time. Soda and soap soften the bristles, and if the back of the brash be of ivory it will torn yellow by their application. For general use it is better economy to bay a cheap brush, and. after using it for a reasonable time, throw it into the fire and start afresh.—Go d HouaekeepWhrn You Are to Kurepe.

DrecptlTS Palre Carls. Every one most have noticed the namber of ladies who wear abort, curly hair at present It may astonish yon to learn that most of these charming curls are false. Typhoid and other fevers have played havoc with hair. After each an illness the hair is almost invariably seriously injured, and even if it doe* not fall out it becomes so dry and harsh that there is nothing to be done but to shave it close and wait for a new growth. Unloss the hair grows very rapidly it will bo two or three months before it is long enough to look well, and in the meantime a wig is a necessity. The short, early hair looks more natural than a dressed wig, and is easier to keep in order, so most ladies prefer them. Elderly ladies, however, often oso French twists and pompadour*.
