Carter-Wallen.

Forth from the valley of fair Belleyiew,
A bridal twain their presence drew,
To Join firm hands, and loving hearts,
For ever more, till death them parts.
The ceruiean dome smiled ii welcome warm,
Dame Nature bent its ungibbous form,
And June sun lent a more cheerful ray
And all acquiesced to bless the day.
When PHILIP led his fair bride away.
Another couple of our highly respected
residents have been wounded by Cupid's

their way to their future home in that garden
of Iron county, Belleyiew valley.
But II their nuptials wsre characterized by
quietness, their reception there was in COM

uatipns and good wishes upon them, but
showed farther their great respect by an eX-
cellent serenade, which was fully appreciat-
ed by both parties, judging from the lavish
manner in which Phil. set out refreshments
and shook hands with the members of the
party. We all join in the heartiest and deep
est wishes for their future welfare, and felici-

DIR. jones' Recommendations TO the
Council Inst Night.

Health Officer Jones submitted to the
council last evening a communication on
the drainage of the city, recommending a
number of new sewers and asking attention
of the council. In his letter, besides rec
ommending some other and shorter sewers,
DR.. Jones says:
Ordinance No. 22S makes IL the duty of the
health ofhcer to report TO the common coun-
Gil from time to time where improved DRAIN
age and sewerage is necessary 10 the public
health of the city.
have recently been making a somewhat
extended investigation OF the matter, in
order TO comply with the city ordinance.
There is an urgent need for the construc-
ton of sewers as fellows: On Western ave-
nue., from Goodrich avenue to West Seventh
street; on Banfil street. from Western avenue
70 Duke street; on Michigan street, from
Western avenue TO Toronto street,
and on View street, from West Seventh street
10 Pleasant avenue. This section is low and
swampy, and has standing water on the
ground most OF the year. Owing TO the char
acter of the soil and a lack of proper drain
age, this water remains 10 breed fevers and
produce contasiou diseases.
From sanitary standpoint even more i'm
portant still is the construction OF a system
OF sewers 10 that section of the Fourth ward
bounded by Rice. La Fond. Rondo and Dale
streets and embi AGING a territory of some
oOO acreS. luis section OF the CITY,
now rather thickly populated in some
portions was formerly a large tamarack
swamp. the ground is low and Doggy, con-
tains surface water, especially after recent
rains, ami has other conditions inimical TO
public health. 1t is Of great Importance that
these conditions be removed by an efficient
system of sewers. Owing to the causes above
named it is almost impossible TO keep water
out or the Gel ars of dwelling houses: cisterns
cannot be mace, and as for the well water,
which is almost wholly relied
upon for drinking purposes, It
has been analYZed time and again
and in the great majority of instances has
been found to contain sufficient organic im-
purifies TO condemn 1t for drinking. These
various conditions combine 10 produce much
sickness, which an Ell cient system OF sewers
would, In IA large measure tend TO remove.
The construction of this system OF sewers
is also strongly recommended by the city en-
gineer in his annual report TO the board of
public works

There are numerous notifications Of ap-

We claim the following as some of the
advantages in comparison with coal and the

First More healthful through the alb

Second-More certain. by the rapidIty of

cess, remain thoroughly Incorporated with

GAS.
Its Advantages for Heating and
COokinE--Gas stoves.

Only second in Importance to lighting in
domestic application of gas is that OF cook
ing and heating by its means The con-
venience and comfort of cooking by gas
especially during the summer months. when
fire is not otherwise required. can only be
thoroughly appreciated by those who had
experience in its extremely useful applica-
ton for that purpose.
The advantages in convenience. clean
illness and economy are quite as great re-
latively in the case OF the smallest family
as In that OF the largest public Institution,
II the gas be properly burned and carefully
used. and yet with the public generally
there has been a strong prejudice against
cooking by gas, which has greatly retarded
its more general use. Within the last few
years the popular prejudice has been giving
away. as the advantages of gas for this
purpose are becoming more widely recog-
! niZed.
The objections to thus utilizing gas have
been chiefly mistaken belief in its flavor
ing the meat the difficulty of burning il
satisfactorily, so as to avoid smoking and
dlrt, ana Its expense as compared with
other fuel. There can be no doubt that
some gas stoves are very extravagant and
wasteful. nevertheless. the objections raised
are neither pertinent nor convincing. We
claim that the advantages accruing from the
employment OF gas are manifest and many
Ii can be shown satisfactorily that great
economy results from the employment of
gas.
The lighting and extinguishing of gas is
an instantaneous operation. neither entail
ing the drudgery, waste of fuel. of time or
temper expended In the lighting of a coal
fire. The waste in meat cooked by gas is
greatly diminished over that cooked by coal
| fire. We find that meat roasted by coal
fire loses one-third in weight or 33X per
cent, while the same cooked by the gas
process loses only about one-seyenth, or Ii
per cent.
Another important advantage is the SIM
plihcation of the labOrs Of the cook. With
a good gas cooking stove the difficulty aris-
ing from slow fires, quick fires and bright
fires vanish at once and forever In the sim
