THH CITIZEN, FMDAY, JANUAllY 14, 1010. A OAMj VOl MORE APPLICANTS. A call for moro applicants for places as ccnsiiB enumerators haB been Issued by Burpcrvlsor of census J. Andrew Wilt, of Towandn, Pa. Ho urges all persons In his district de siring to servo, to obtain their appli cation forms at onco and to file them with him boforo Jnnuary 25th, when ho must stop considering new appli cations In order to prepare for tho "test" of tho provlous applicants on February 5. After this ho will ex nmlno and rate tho papers until about February 22, when ho will forward his list of designations as enumerators, with their "test" pa pers, to Census Director Uurand, who will carefully go over and rerato tho papers of tho successful candi dates before giving his consent to the lssuo of commissions to them by tho supervisor. By the middle or latter part of March all the enumerators will have been commissioned, and In receipt of detailed Instructions con cerning their work. To quiet any qualms relative to tho test'- of the qualifications of appli cants, to be made February 5, tho supervisor has obtained some infor mation from the Census Director concerning the "test" of Twelfth Cen sus enumerators. It has been olfl cially stated that the 1910 'test" will be very similar to the one in tho preceding census and will consist in requiring applicants to fill sample schedules from printed narratives concerning census facts. As the rural enumerators are to carry both the population and agricultural schedule, they will be "tested" witli samples of both, but the city enu merators, who carry the population schedule alone, will only be requir ed to prove their ability by lining a sample of that schedule. The "test" population schedule narrative in 1900 was, in part, as follows. "The enumerator of the forty-fifth enumeration district of the ninth su pervisor's district of the State of Pennsylvania, in the village of Port Royal, Londonderry Township, Schuylkill County, begins his enu meration June 1, 1900, at No. 201 Burton street. "This house Is occupied by a single family, consisting of Patrick O'Leary, his wife, Margaret, and his son, Tames. "Patrick came to this country from Ireland (where he was born of Irish parents) In May of 1870, when ho was just 22 years old. Three years after his arrival he was married to an Irish girl who had come over from his native village a year before. As soon as possible he became natural ized. He can read and write and speak English, and owns a good house, free of incumbrance, which he has bought from his earnings as a teamster, In which occupation he has had steady work during the past year. "Margaret, his wife, is also of Irish parentage, and was born in January, and Is nearly four years younger than her husband. She has had two children, only one of whom Is living. She can read and speak English, but has to make her 'mark' for her sig nature. "James was born in Harrisburg, February, 1875. He has a good com mon school education, works at any sort of day labor, and secured nine months' steady work during the past year. He is not married. "In tho next house, 203 Burton street, the enumerator found an Eng lish woman by the name of Mrs. Jane Parker, a widow, occupying a rented house with her single daughter, Vir ginia, and her married daughter, Nellie E., and the husband of the latter, Albert Johnson. 34 years ago, has a good education, "Mrs. Parker came to this country 34 years ago, has a good education, is a dressmaker by trade, and has constant employment. She was 50 years old last April, and Is of Scot tish birth on her mother's side. She has had four children, "three of whom are living aud one of whom ha j died. "Virginia is of English parentage, has been through the local schools and has been a saleswoman for eight months of the past year; she was born in Philadelphia in March, 1877. 'Nellie E. was 2 8 years old last January, and has but recently mar ried. Sho was born In Baltimore, reads, writes, and speaks English. "Albert Johnson, the husband of Nellie, was born in New York City, of Welsh parents, November, 18C5. He Is In the grocery business and keeps his own books and accounts." It seems comparatively simple, ac cording to tho supervisor, to draw out of tho above statement the re quired details for the population schedule and to enter them under the proper column divisions relating to location, name, relationship, per sonal description, nativity, citizen ship, occupation, education, etc. About all Buch a "test" can do is to evidence tho legibility of an ap plicant's handwriting and his ability to determine where to write in tho sample schedule the factSj clearly stated In tho narrative. Tho agricultural schedule narrative for 1909 was very similar, except that the facts stated relato to farms and farming operations. Before tho "test" February 5th, tho supervisor will send each appli cant a list of Instructions concern ing filling in tho "test" schedules, which will still further simplify the subject and insure tho passing of tho test by those who possess only an or dinary common-school education and practical common sense.

On tho death of a blacksmith nam. wl Moehla of Bellevli.le, 111., in the United States, a tombstone was or ectod to his memory In tho very ap propriate form of a model anvil. Mot-hie wns a village blacksmith, and tor over thirty years he had tolled at the same anvil, which had been given him by tho old blacksmith to whom he was apprenticed at Pilot Knob. He became greatly attached to the old anvil, nnd mnnv ttnips x ! pressed a wish that ho should not l9 I separated from.lt In death, but that It should bo his monument.

Recently ho has been able with an exactitude not equalled by the best barometers to tell his neighbors twenty-four and sometimes thirty-six hours ahead what weather to expect. His pre dictions have been of great benelit to farmers. Now it is learned that he gets his tips from his two pigs. In dry weather the tails of the pigs have one curl, in wet weather two curls, and just before a rain their tails bang limp. Power of Lights. A comparison has recently been made of the power of tho lights in French lighthouses at various periods la the last 35 years. In 1874, whon only oil lights were used, tho high est power was equal to 54,000 cand les. In 18S2. when the electric light was Introduced, the power rose to a maximum of 820,000 candles. SUite then frequent Improvements have been made in tho electric lights until at present the most powerful lighthouses project an illumination nearly equal to 3,000,000 candles. Lincoln on Law Observance. There Is even now something of ill omen among us; I mean tho dis regard of law. There, then, id ona point at which danger may bo ex pected. The question seems: How shall we fortify against it? The an swer Is simple. Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by tho blood of the Revolution never to vio late in the least particular the law ot his country and never to tolerate their violalon by others.

Dieting as a Fad. There Is no denying that most of us eat too much; equally true Is it hat dieting often becomes a fad and not too healthful one. Just now It seems as If dieting wore the lntest touch of smartness. Half tho people you meet have cut off "this" or aro eating "that" In the in terest of health, complexion or figure. If dieting is under the advice of a doctor well and good; even so the rest of the world might be spared eulogies nnd advice on special lines of eating. It Is borcsome to hear and may be dangerous to adopt. Go on dieting if you must; cut off from your dally menu meats, entrees, desserts nnd other dainties your pa late craves, make yourself a nuisance to hostesses and meal orderers; hut do It on the advice of a reliable phy sician, not because of the enthusiasms of dieting friends whose course may be fatal for you. Benzoin on the Face. Tincture of benzoin is an astringent ten drops of which in a basin of cold water will make the complexion white and firm. It may bo used where thero is a tendency to enlarged pores or ex cessive olllness of the skin, but when the complexion Is delicate it Is very apt to be too strong. You enn easily tell whether it agrees with your com plexion or not after using It once or twice. If It stings at all or makes the skin look blotchy It should not be used. If it agrees with your skin it may bo used every day, if you like, without harm. It has no effect on tho eyebrows and lashes, but will make the eyes burn, and you should be care ful to keep tho eyes shut when wash ing with It A Skin Food.

Ttxt: Luke 11:2: "And He said into them, when ye pray, say, our athcr." h 4 Fundamental In all our religion Is tho concoptlon of God. Moro or less .latently all that wo do In the way r ivorshlp or Borvlco springs from l.at wo bollevo God to be, and what o bellovo He wishes us to do nnd -. It Is Important for us very fre . :ity for the keeping of our rell "j truly to go back to this fundn- ital eloment In our religion. I ; our conception of God determines ' religion in so far as It Is a con- c ut thing. If wo bellevo that God .i despot we shall crlngo, and fawn n "re Him. If we bollevo He is a ous God wo shall walk softly and appear too prosperous In His . . ence, lest in jealousy He smite us. r wo believe Ho Is an absent or an rassivo God, who neither knows or cares how wo feel towards Him or "trd Him, then we shall go on our uy as if God did not exist, and po our course of action wUh ref ence to our own desires, and we nil not reckon with God. Wo shall . with Job's friend, "Is not God In height of Heaves? What doth il know?" There Is a story from East of a certain Parsee who was forming his devotlonB at tho altar if fire, and there drew near a Jew nd a Christian. Tho Jew, moved vith Jealousy that men should wor hip the creature Instead of the Cre itor, said: "Do you worship fire?" 'No," said the Paraeo, "we do not, wo inly worship the Great Spirit that manifests Himself in the flame." "What do you call that spirit?" ask ed the Jew. "We call him Ormuz. What do you name tho Infinite One?" "Wo call Him Jehovah," said tho Jew. "God of Gods and Lord of Lords, the Great God and terrible." The Parseo mswered, "Your name Is a great one, out It Is awful." Then turning to the Christian, he asked: "How do you name the Great One?" and the Chris tian said: "We call Him Abba, Fath er," and the Parsee answered, "Your name Is the greatest of all, but who gave you authority to call tho Infinite, Father?" Now, It Is Jesus, who teaches us that. "Father," robbed of Its human Infirmities, of its evil, of Its limita tions, Is the name llkest to God. If we would comprehend what Is the character of God and His attltudo to ward us we should coma before Him with tho word "Father" upon our Hps. It is worth while for us to take the conception, this revelation of Jesus of God, and see what kind of religion is consistent with It; how we, as chll dien of our Father, should worship Him and behave ourselves before Him and tnlk to Him. Jesus has not left ua entirely to draw our own Infer ences. He told us to call Him Father. I know that theologians dispute over tho question, whether It Is right to Eroak of the fatherhood of God to all men, but certainly wo shall bo true to Jesus If we talk of the fatherllness of God. And we shall find that Jesua !vs something to say about God's ref lation to tho universe, to this world ,f which humanity is so small a part. Tin Pharisees believed In a distant God, God on His throno afar off In tho seventh heaven, a majestic sov ereign, removed from tho common things of tho world. Thoy believed 'ho world was carried on through tho mediation of angels. They believed hiH God onco fur all had given His will for men's conduct In the law, that on some far off day men would stimd to Him and bo examined as to ether they had kept the law and ! t only by some special providence -v miracle did God tako a direct hand i he control of His universe. That vus not tho teaching ot Jesus. To :rim tho world wns tho Father's house. fJo-l needs no angel to toll Him what :s going on in tho world. Ho knows -Mir needs before wo ask and when wo pray wo do not have to Invoke some 'n -el to carry the petition, but simply iy In sincerity: "Our Father." How i hat changes the concoptlon of ro "g'on and our rolntlon to God; how It f!U the world with tho presence of i ho Dlvlno! Far bo It from me to leny tho possibility, or oven tho con "ii ions recurrence of tho things we ctll miraculous, but to anyone who Vows tho teaching of Jesus tho intra le loses Its unique character for our eVglous thinking and life. I bellovo hat Jesus turned tho water into wine it was exceptional activity of '.he D Ino power , but I bellovo that when tho vine blossoms In the spring and iptures Its fruit In tho fall, it Is Just as much tho activity of God as whon losus performed the miraclo at Cana. When Jesus teaches us to think of God as Father, Ho culls attention, llrct. to the likeness between our spir its and the Spirit of Obd, as thero Is n likeness between father and son In muiiro; and secondly, to tho love that God, His Father, feels townrd men. Wo are made "In tho Imago of God," whatover that may mean, and we cer tainly bear a spiritual likeness to God. Love aud reason and power ot will In .8, though finite and small, mean th" same In us that they do in God. PROFESSIONAL. CAItDS. Attorneys-nt-Low. H WILSON, ATTOHKET A COUNHKI.nil.AT.t.lir. Office.
