REGISTRATION.

The city clerk states that the registra-
ton so far is about twenty-three hundred.
Last year it was four thousand and two
hundred while last fall it was between
seven and eight thousand. At this time
last year he says there were more names
on the books than now. The facts he
thinks show that the people are showing
less interest in the election this spring
than last.
One of the most noticeable features in
the registration is the small number of

She Was IL Wise Tomah.

A lady who Is just passing the sammer

device she secured her morning nap.
which had been seriously broken liz upon
by a noisy cockerel who felt it at once a
privilege and duty shrill voiced to hail
the morn directly under her window. She
demonstrated with her hostess in vain.
That worthy dame slept on the other side
of the house, and troubled herself little
at the report Of chandeliers offensive
ness; so that it became evident enough TO
the boarder that if anything was to be
done she must do il herself.
She reflected; she devised plan; she
acted. She hunted up small boy in the
neighborhood, and for small sum hired
him to come early in the dewy morning
and drive the clamorous cockerel round
to the other side OF the house The re
suit was that when the chanticleer 8
shrill clarion cheered the morn its notes
pierced into the vexed ears of. the land
lady instead Of those of the boarder.
The result of this policy was most salts

for week, but at the end of the third

Cost of Keeping Diamonds.

Diamonds are an expensive luxury, even
after they are purchased. 1t requires a
large expense to keep them in repair, as
well as TO take care OF them at times.
"You would scarcely believe that we EN-
ploy over hundred jewel cleaners, said
a member of large establishment. 1--WE
do, though. Most of our customers are
afraid to intrust the cleaning Of their
jewels and the polishing of the diamonds
TO their maids, and as the work has to be
done at least once month, it requires at
least large corps oil workers, Some Of
our experts are women, but the majority
are men. The work is done here in the
shop, generally, for if done at the homes
of the owners We are obliged to send at
least two watchers with each cleaner.
Just now we have half dozen cleaners
