THE CENSUS

The work on the census is progress.
ing rapidly, four of the wards having
been enumerated, and two more are
almost completed. The first, second,
third, and fifth have been completed.
and the fourth and sixth are nearly.
The enumerators are not allowed to
give out any authentic figures till the
completion of the census, but the
nearest estimate to the figures
compiled this year, we can get places
the population of the first ward at a
little above 700; the second, about S25
the third, at $40; and the fifth at close
to thousand, probably about 995
A semi-authentic report places the
total Of the four wards mentioned
at 3140. The enumeratOrS will
say that they think the other four
wards will total larger sum than
this. and that their estimate of the
whole city is just under $500. Five
years ago the population was 4443. Ii
the number reaches $500 this year, il
will mean an increase of nearly fifty
per cent. The enumerators, however
believe the increase will be about Al
per cent.

They have tricks that will add $25 and

"a trick is trimming. They cut
out feathers of the wrong color and
with their scissors they manipulate
certain markings till they get them
into the pattern that is considered
best.
They dye the birds feathers, too.
This work needs skill and a good

to see if the color is faxed or not So
the dye, of course, must be acid proof
