I’ark l*redlc(toa* Ur Foe* at aa Kaa- ilafc ipaaaa Hill. It was In 1753 that a proposal to count the people wus first made, rbouias Potter, son of the archbishop of Canterbury aud member for St. German«, lutroduced In that year a bill "for taking and registering an auuual account of the total uumber of the people aud of the total number of marriages, births and deaths aud ulso i»f the total uumber of |>onr recalling alms from every parish and extra pare chial place In Great — Britain.” It was Inevitable, of course, that directly this proposal was made the precedent of King David should be quoted. And many were the jeremiads as to the al ternative evils which would befall the country. Those submitted to Duvld were mild In comparison. Mr. Thorn ton, member for York city, said: “1 did not believe that there was any set of men or, tudeed, any Individual of the human species so presumptuous and so abandoned us to make the pro posal we have Just heard. * * * I bold this subject to lie totally subversive of the last remains of English liberty. * • • The new bill will direct the Im position of new tax««, and. Indeed, tlie addition of a very few words will niuka It the most effectual engine of rapac ity nnd oppression that was ever used against an Injured people. • • • More over, an unnmrt register of our people will acquaint our enemies abroad with our weakness.” Matthew Ridley, another opposing memtier, added that his constituents "looked on the proposal as ominous and feared lest some public misfortune or an epidemical distemper should fol low the numbering." However, the bill passed the commons, only to be promptly rejected by the lords. Not until 1800 was the proposal again made, and on this occasion It was brought to a successful Issue. The first census of England and Wales was taken In March, 1801.—Fortnightly Re view. SHORT STORIES Knew Usahlaglui.

"I have also known people,” resumed the superintendent, “who displayed the utmost indifference as to the ultimate fate of their amputated members, No thought of their limbs seems to enter their heads. They go under the knife without asklug any questions and come from under the influence of the ether and so far as I know go through life without inquiring what becume of their legs or arms.
