order to send a man up to Cleveland
for the period of 13 days, 1t would
cost $3.50. The mileage of the guard
would be $500. That would make a
total of s16.40 cents that the count.

there and back Then there would be
the matter of clothing, doctor bills If
he should fall sick, and funeral ex.
penses If he were to die.
Then in addition to all that the
county would have to pay the Cleve
land authorities so cents a day for
keeping the prisoner there. This
would mean more than $3.50 day.
1t is true, perhaps, that the short
term men might be kept at home in
the Jail and thus reduce this expense
somewhat, but even with the long
term men the cost would be double
what it would cost to keep them now.
Even in the Jail the cost is IS cents Il
day or more.
KEEP OUTSIDE PRISONERS.
'Then again the argument is ad-
vanced that we should not take any
outside prisoners. If this were not
done the cost of keeping our own
prisoners would be nearly doubled and
there might be some excuse for aban-
doning the workhouse
No matter how many or few pris-
oners there are, the expenses are fixed
and exist just the same, with the pos
sible difference of one guard made
necessary for the additional outside
prisoners. The light, heat, power, SUI
perintendent, matron, guards. help of
all kinds, must be maintained, and 1t
is a matter of fact that the additional
food is about the only added expens,
where an outside prisoner is taken
in. This might amount to Is cents a
day, and the profit helps keep down
the expenses. They are generally
long term men, and they enable the
workhouse people to get better re-
cults from their labor, as they stay
long enough to get to know the trades.
Short term men are not wanted in the
brush factory.
while the present contract for la
Dor in the brush factory is criticised.
and may not be a good one, yet it is
the same contract that other like in

that there would be less demand TO:

1t is a necessity that cannot we'll be

French Papers Praise the Beers.

Paris, June 2.-'rhe news of peace in
South Africa reached Paris too late for
publication in the afternoon papers,
did not become generally known yes
terday evening. and hence caused no
excitement. This mornings papers,
however, give due prominence to dis
patches announcing the fact and de
scribing the way the news was re-
ceived in London.
The Figaro believes that after aston
ishng the world by their resistance,
the Beers doubtless have obtained a
legitimate consideration of their eff
forts and that it is not an unconditional
submission to which the delegates have
just consented.
The G:ulois rejoices at the end of
the war, but takes exception to the
word "capitulation' in Lord Kitchen

main for posterity one of the nobest

women in the country. Her husband
has for five years been the acknowl-

link cuff button, in common use. and
the dangling fob, an adjunct of snob-

She made the low coiffure what it is.
She revived the elbow pose. She
brought into popularity the red rose.
These are some of the things which

Where Pearls Are Found.

Old Biographies make the Persian
Gulf the seat of the pearl industry, but
now many beautiful pearls are found
in different parts OF America. In the
Mississippi river and its tributaries in
Minnesota and Wisconsin quite num-
Der of people are engaged in fishing
for the mussels in which the pearls
are found. 1t is said that one pearl
is found in every ten mussels fshed
from the water. The fisherman does
not worry about this. He keeps the
shells and takes them to the button
factory. where there is always de-
mand, for, as you know. boys and
girls use UP good many buttons in
the course of a year and no one knows
what becomes of them. A floating
button factory, built on boat. travels
up and down the Mississippi. 1t
stops at a place long enough to use
up all the shells and then goes on
where there is another mussel bed or
where the fishermen accumulate q
heap. Some of the pearls are very
valuable and have been sold for as
large a price as $4,000.

Suicide is a malady not peculiar to

A striking feature is the increase of
