WASHING A BABY IN A DIsH PAN
A woman was seen yesterday, in a
house in the outskirts OF the town,
washing her babe in a dish pan--one
of those commonly used for washing
dishes. The pan was half full OF water
and the child, perfectly nude, sat in it,
not all pleased, to Judge from its cries,
with the securing it was receiving at
the hands Of its mother If the dish
pan can be put to such usos, it may be
used for many other purposes, and its
owner doubtless finds it q very handy
thing to have about the house"

GsS~ Thanks to the prompt action of
the City Council, the practice of GER
tain contractors of using imperfect ma
terials in constructing sewers, has been
brought TO an abrupt termination,
Hereafter the city proposes to furnish
the drain pipe, which is to be of supe-
rior quality. 1t is charged that con-
tractors, whose chief idiosyncrasy is to
accumulate wealth honestly if they
can, but, i'll any event, to put money in
their purse, have taken advantage of
the imperfect yision--(not to put too
fine n point on it)-of the Inspectors
charged with the important duty of
guarding the interests of taxpayers,
and used drain pipe wholly unfit for the
work. 1t is gratifying to find our
City Council faithfully protecting their
constituents against the tricks of igno-
rant or dishonest men. Incompetent
Inspectors will save themselves some
modification if, in the future, they
employ their "talents" where their
blunders will not result in serious dam
age to the community, J. S. D.
