THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Humorous. 
THE EXTRAORDINARY CENSUS. 
He Could Not be Sure.— Census Enu¬ 
merator (to individual with luxuriant 
whiskers):—What is your sex ? Individual 
(indignantly):—You’d take me for a man 
wouldn’t you ? Census Enumerator :—An¬ 
swer the question. You might be the 
bearded woman from the dime museum 
for all I know. 
Wanted Exactness.— Census Enumer¬ 
ator (to Miss Elder):—What is your age ? 
Miss Elder:—I was born in ’70. Census 
Enumerator—1770 or 1870 ? 
It’s on the List.— Name please 1 The 
Questionee—John Henry Perkins. Of how 
many children are you the mother? 
What! 
Mortuary. — Census Enumerator (to 
Philadelphia Man):—Your age, please? Mr. 
Chestnut:—Forty-five. Census Enumerator: 
—Did you die during the past year or be¬ 
fore that time ? 
Social.— Census Enumerator (to Chicago 
woman):—Married, mum ? Chicago Wo¬ 
man:— Yes. Census Enumerator:— How 
many times have you been divorced since 
June, 1889?— Sun. 
A writer in giving “ advice to young 
ladies,” says: “ Don’t let him call you by 
your first name, at least not until you are 
engaged to him, and then only when you 
are by yourselves.” He won’t call her by 
her first name then. After that interesting 
period he calls her by a much sweeter name, 
especially invented for the occasion. Mar¬ 
garet or Jane is too cold and formal.— 
Norristown Herald. 
A Cosmopolite.— Census Enumerator to 
young lady in the door: “ Did you say the 
world is your home?” “Yes, sir; I am 
the daughter of a Methodist minister.” 
People who live in a flat have a suite 
time of it. —Boston 'Transcript. 
Some men’s idea of economy lies in preach¬ 
ing it to their wives.— Atchison Globe. 
Boys are curious contradictions. Take a 
boy and fit him out with lots of new clothes, 
and he is happy. Let the same boy get 
entirely out of clothes, and he will be wildly, 
deliriously happy—if the water is warm.— 
Smith, Gray A Co.'s Monthly. 
Like misery, there is nothing a girl of 
sixteen likes so much as company.— Atchi¬ 
son Globe.
