Flom title cloger we are 710t lit all free in Canada. The Englieh eysteni is first explained itt detail. °Mild announeement is made that on a certain hour of a certain day„ the cen- sus will be taleen. rhe day is usually Saturday, and the hour is either mid- night or 11 p, me A late hour Satileday night is selected, because even those who have been away during the week usually come home to stay over Sunday. Printed circulars, prepared by the government, bo sent by the police to the head of ev- ery family that lives in a private dwell- ing, to the owner of each apartment house or lodging, and to the owner of each hotel. These circulars contain blank spaces ht esidelt the citizens are required to record every fact about themselves that the government desires to learn. The house- holder at whose home such a Melee is left is required to fill in, 'within a speci- fied reasonable time, the names of all those who, at the hour the census was, taken, were under his roof, together with information concerning the probe - We whereabouts of those domiciled with hitu who were temporarily absent. The owners of hotels, apartment houses and lodgings are themselves required—and under heavy penalties, too, for disobedi- ence—to see that their guests or tenants both promptly and properly fill in the blank forme. While the work of preparing data is proceeding within clove the police are engaged in rounding up stragglers in the streets, man is seen in the shadows, eveaking toward what may be his home. A policenuin stops him, taking his name and address. Another policeman boards car filled with passengers. Every pas- senger must tell who he is and where he lives. All of the required information concerning these persone has probably already been written out in the place in which they live, but the late -hour travel- ers, as a cheek against omission, are nev- ertheless interrogated. Sometimes a frisky Englishman who, for re-asoes of his own, does no,t want to figure in the census, tries to evade the government by riding around all night in a cab. Ten chances to one he will not succeed in his purpose. Cabs are stopped ae unhesitatingly as are street cars -or pedestrians. The government wants to kuow, The government will not be de- nied. All over England, Ireland, Scotland and Wino this proceeding takes place at the same hour, Rural police have car- ried the blanks to -the peasants' cottages, as the Metropolitan police have borne the circulars to the Immo of the dwell- ers in the cities, A. day or two later—perhaps Monday or Tosday—the blanks are gathered up. But they are uot collected by specially appointed enumerators working, by the grace of politicians, for extra wages, but by the police, as a part of their regular work for their regular pay. ln Germany, a censae is taken when- ever the Bundersrath gives the order, us. ually every three or four years. As in Eugland, circulars are printed and dis- tributed by the pollee. But they are not collected ey the police. The burgomas- ter issues a call for volunteere. So many offer to help that the aid of all cannot he accepted. School teachers, unemploy- ed clerks, retired business men and oth- ers proffer their services without pro- mise or hope of a mark or a pfennig as oempensa tion. nIn Germany,' says a German offielel, it is considered an hon- or to respond tee any,,nsall that the Gov- ernment may make for gratuitous pub- lic service. The Freon valeta is perhaps the best organized and most efficient of the three. Prance, at all times, ha stile name and addresses of all travellers who are so- journing within its borders. Within a week from the time a. child is born, its name must be reported to the pollee. The birth -report must also give the names of the cbild's parents, together with their addresses.

The tenant farmer is the man who is chiefly responsible for the increased eost of living, he is the Mau who lute renuced out farming area, forged the price of productive land to an abnormal. height, and sent droves of sturdy young farmers beyond our bor- ders to the north. President Waters has been investigat. ing the tenant farmer for a long time, and he knows his subject, but nothing good of him.

Mr. Stillwell, as he may be called, woke up one yearning In New York to find a tele- gram from his goo -In-law in Milwaukee saying that a granddaughter liad just arrived. The gon-in-law's name may be given as McLaughlin. Mr. Stillwell went to the telephone and asked for long distance. "I want to put in a call for Milwaukee," atad he when the operator had respond- ed; "I want to speak to Miss McLaugh- lin at 2842 -- street." The operator repeated the name aud address! and then asked for the first name of the person called. "1 csn't give you that," said Mr. Still- well, 'but if you call Sot Miss MeLaughs .tIn thet will be enough. But don't for- get, don't Want to speak to any one but Miss McLaughlin.'" Ile hung up the receiver and went back to his breakfast. In a few minutes the bell wbirred and Mr. Stillwell went to the phone in some excitement. "Miss McLaughlin can't. speak," was the Inessage that cattle front the oper- ator. "I oan get Mr. McLaughlin if he will do." "No, he won't do at all," mad Mi. Still. well with every evidence of exaspera- tidn. "Please be kind enough to find out when Miss McLaughlin will be able to speak." Ue hold the receiver to his ear this time and beard a wrangling afar off, a clicking of instruments and it murmur of Indistinct voices, At last thb answer came. It was: "Two years!" Meanwhile, as Ur. Stillwell found out later, his son-in-law had been having a terrible time. There was enough going on in that house in Milwaukee anyway that mornitig, and when the phohe bell rang the head of the hottsehold wasn't any too gentle about the way he growled. "Well, what Is it?" Then he heard that New York was calling by long distance and thinkihg that his wife's family had chosen this way of sending congratula- tiens he calmed doWn little. But when the operates, said that Miss McLaughlin was wanted he hit the ceiling again. "Vet mean Mrs. McLaughlin," said he. "Well, the can't come to the phone just now, but this Is lat.
