Ovr sewerage system is of the greatest inn
pOrtance. As our city increases in magnitude,
our continued good health will depend greatly
upon having good sewers. And while 1 am
opposed to all needless expense, am in favor
of building sewers whenever asked for by the
property owners or wherever demanded to
protect the health of the neighborhood.
PAVING AND SIDEWALKS.
There is one matter of importance to which
I invite your special attention and that is the
paving of streets and laying of sidewalks.
The mayor of Savannah, Ga, in his last mes
sage to the city council, states that he has pur-
chased the so-called Belgian pavement blocks
four by eight inches on the face in New York
for $19. SO per Thousand, and that laid down
on the streets Of Savannah they will not cost
more than 81. Is per square yard This is less
than we pay for pine blocks. tss4
There is near Sauk Rapids about sixty miles
from Saint Paul vast quantities of granite.
When this stone can be prepared as cheaply az
it is done in New York wecan have permanent
granite pavements at very little more cost than
our wooden blocks are costing.
The sooner we can introduce brick for our
sidewalks on business streets the better.
have always been in favor of macadamizing
our streets.s Our lime stone would do well for
| foundations and there is an unlimited supply
of trap rock near Taylora Falls, which could
be brought here at small expense in barges.
This would make excellent top dressing, and
| the streets would be easily repaired r

THE M AN WITH A GLASS Il II Ee
As q train ON the Kansas Pacific
pulled away from the Sixteenth street
depot few mornings since, q tall, an
gular specimen of humanity took
seat opposite lady passenger. and to
all appearance was intently engaged
in studying her face. At first the lady
treated the rudeness with goOd-natur-
ed Indifference. But at last it began
to tell on her nerves. 1t was q pecu-
liar and astonishing piece of imperti-
nence. He apparently had the faculty
of looking two ways at once. One
of his eyes was restless, excited, and
roved in all directions. The other
fixed aud stony. fastened on her with
an undertaking stare. She turned her
head away, but it intercepted her vis-
ion. She tried to hide behind paper
but she felt that cruel eye piercing
through the screen, and creeping with
a stony look all over her features. 1t
seemed to be picking them up one by
one and examining them with care.
The thing became uncomfortable and she
cried out to him fiercely. Sir, why
do you look at me SO persistently
me, madam. why bless my soul, I
haven't been looking at you.
You have, sir-for q half hour or
more your eye has been absolutely rive
,ted upon my face.
4 beg your pardon. madam. but it's
this eye, is il not 2 lifting his finger to
his left optic.
Yes, slr, it's that eye.'
sWell, madam, that eye won't do
you any harm. 1t generally looks any
way it pieases-it gives me great
deal of trouble. A great many COM
plain of it. At first I thought they
were making fun of me,but I've found
out differently now. I have been
knocked down two or three times for
he impertinence of that eye. 1 Iweuld
leave it out altogether but for the looks
of the thing. Its q glass eye, madam
only q glass eye. hope you'll ex.
cuse it. But. upon my eoui. I am not
surprised that even . glass eye should
feel interested in so pretty woman:
aud he brought his other eye to bear
upon her in undisguised adniratiop.

was passed very pleasantly to hotk q
