Editor of the Register.
Sir:-The Chief of Police, according
TO his New Years letter in the News,
is anxious to have more policemen TO
watch the thieves and burglars, etc.
He seems to be puzzled, however, as to
where the revenue is to come from 10
nav this extra force. The matter OF
revenue ought not to bother such III
genious men as the Mayor and the
Chief very much. They already regu-
late gambling and prostitution for rev.
enue, if their famous answer" to the
ministers can be believed, and why not
also add to that list thieving and rob-
bling and burglary, etc? They might
come to an understanding with these
parties to be pulled" occasionally, and
to shell out" part of their ill-gotten
gains Tor revenue for extra policemen
Of course, these extra policemen. n
that case, would not be needed very
badly, except to notify the thieves, etc,
when the round up" is to take place,
and they might also come in handy
in collecting the fines and delivering
the receipts, SO that the thieves, etc,
would not need to go to the trouble OF
coming to the Police Court and eX-
posing themselves to curious eyes.
DIT tbo~o o~,tro roIiaop,an would c0Ynp
in mighty handy as electioneers for
the Chief, and they might also put in
doubt that both of them will need all
the help they can get, if they are to
pull through one year hence. There
fore, | would suggest that they should
not let such a small thing as revenue
keep them from increasing the police
force. They can assure Council that,
If the extra force is authorized, the
matter of revenue will be easily set
tied. Did they not get nearly fourteen
hundred dollars in one mornings Po-

machines? If they properly manage
the theiving fraternity they can soon
have such gang at work that this
slot-machine revenue will seem insig-
niicant when compared with the reve-
nue. derived from them.
In this event, of course, some private
citizens, some dwellings, some grocer
les, some clothing stores, some banks,
ETC.. would be robbed. But what Of
1t? Such things as money, goods, Jew
els, ETC., are not to be compared in
worth with the honor of our BOYS and
the virtue of our girls, which are taken
away by the vices already regulated
for revenues. Does not the immortal
Shakespeare even say, He who steals

In these days of exquisite house fur
nishings special care must be paid to
the small card tables, Cairo stands,
and other bits of elegantly carved furn-
iture that are placed here and there in
the drawing room and boudoir, Too
bright polish is apt to detract from
their beauty and avery dull lustre will
produce the same results. A polish
that is what French chatelains con-
slider CONNIE il faut is made after the
following recipe:
One pint of Iinseed oil, two ounces
of black rosin, two ounces Of spirits OF
nitre, four ounces of distilled vinegar,
one ounce of spirits of salts. two
ounces of anthony.

your small pieces Of furniture will as

shalots. one ounce Of butter, one table
spoonful of -four, the yolks OF two eggs,
egg and bread crumbs. The smaller
pieces, that will not do for fricassee
or hash, answer very we'll for this dish.
Mince the meat finely with ham or
bacon in the above proportion; make a
gravy OF the bones and trimmings;
well season it; mince the shalots; put
them into a stew pan with the butter;
add the -four; mix we'll; then put IN
the mince and about half pint OF the
gravy made from the bones. cine pro-
portion of butter must be increased or
diminished according to the quantity
of mince.) When just boiled, add the
yolks of two eggs; put the mixture out
to cool, and then shape 1t IN wine

and bread crumbs, and fry them deli
