He Was All Attention.

An absent-minded landlord called on a tenant to condole with him on the death of valuable COW. The cause of its decease had been enveloped in mystery, and, while explaining it, the landlord, though a kind and synpa- thizing person, went off into the clouds. The last words of the nara tive were: And can you believe it, my lord, when we opened her we found she had been choked by large turnip that was sticking in her gullet." Here the landlord woke up, and ira co1grat
 ulatory tone of voice observed: "Ah. yes, and 50 you got your turnip?"

A CHINESE PROBLEM.

The question Of removing the Chinese Court

TO force conclusions promptly. The Chinese, on
fine other hand, desire indefinite delay. But they
can scarcely enjoy such delay so long as their
canital Is within easy striking distance from the

and British but the latter is remembered There

There seems to be no reason why he should
not do the latter The somewhat prevalent no

must be borne in mind that the two most power

ing. IL they have not already done so. To-day
is the second day OF registration, and after to-day
there will be only two other opportunities, which
will occur on Friday and Saturday Of next week
In both cities the registration on the first day
was smaller than was expected. though doubtless
part Of the falling off was due to the new re-
quirement regarding naturalization and the new
law designed 10 make repeating extra-hazardous,
IL not impossible. Special efforts should be made
to-day by the unregistered TO bring the number
