Mayor Teller vetoed the ordinance
providing for the compulsory weighing
of coal and hey and the measuring of
wood, which was passed at the last
council meeting. The mayor gave many
reasons for his veto, among which was
the fact that the entire ordinance was
superhuous so far as it placed any further
restriction upon the ordinance to amend
which it was passed. The mayor regard
ed the ordinance already in effect as
sufficient for the present. An attempt
was made by the champions of the ordi-
nance to pass the came over the mayors
veto, but it was unsuccessful and the
ordinance died.

the streets of that block, for the time
being, besides uneven settling; no mat
ter how carefully the trenches are filled,
would leave the streets in q condition
resembling Q gigantic wash board. Again,
the digging half way ACROSS streets as
wide as ours to make house connections,
involves an expense almost equal to the
original cost OF the main sewers. There
fore for the reasons given, besides some
other nes that WI have omitted to
mention, we would NOT recommend the
adoption OF this plan.
One other system has within the last
few years, been adopted by several DIFF.
ferent towns and cities in tho United
States. that seems TO answer all the re
Guirements OF an efficient system of sani'
tary sewerage, better than anything
previously invented. That is the pipe
system devised by George E. Warning
sanitary engineer, for the city of Mem
phis. the leading principles of which ore
| the restriction OF the sizes OF the sewers
to o capacity barely sufficient to carry
the greatest flow Of the day when run
ming half full. The capacity of small
pipes for removing sewerage is much
greater than most people suppose. Fol
example, - single six inch pipe. lait
with O fall OF n foot in three hundred
feet, and running but little more thar
half full, will remove the sewerage o
two hundred ind fifty average houses
with o consumption of 331S gallons 20
water per capita per day-Where waite
is abundant as it is here, it would b
well to make the estimate larger. Will,
few people indeed use sixty gallons
day, nor do they need to do so, it's yer.
abundance creates an increased tendisne,
to waste it. So to be on the safe side W
would recommend the laying Of pipes o
sufficient size to accommodate an est

President LincOIn,s Illusions.

These are many historical instances
of illusions and Authorizations among
persons of great intellectual vigor, and
l may be pardoned for referring to a
strange fact, which is not generally
known, in regard to the late President
Lincoln, and this is recited by Whar-
ton. Mr.. Lincoln was remarkably SUI
perstitious. Just after his election in
1860, when he came home tired out, he
threw himself upon a lounge in his bed
room, which was opposite to mirror.
when he looked into the glass he saw
himself reflected nearly full length |;
but his face had two separate and dis
tinct images, the tip of the nose Of
one being about three inches from the
tip of the other He was little
bothered, perhaps startled, and got
up and looked in the glass, but the
illusion vanished. On lying down
again, he saw it second time-plainer,
if possible, than before; and then he
noticed that one of the faces was a lit
tie paler-say five shades-than the
other. He got up and the thing melted
away, and in the excitement of the hour
he forgot all about it, nearly, but not
quite, for the thing would once in
while come back again; but he never
succeeded in bringing the ghost back
after that, though he once tried very
industriously to show it to his wife, who
was worried about it somewhat She
thought it was sign that he was to
be elected to second term of office,
and that the paleness of one of the
faces was an omen that he should not
see life through the last term" Nor
was this single case of morbid cere-
bral action in the life of this remark
able man. "He was," says his bio
grapher, Mr.. Lamon, readily impress
ed with the most absurd superstitions.
He lived constantly in the serious con-
viction that he was himself the subject
of a special decree, made by some un-
known and mysterious power, for which
he had no name. He had great faith in
the virtues of the maidstone, although
he could give no reason for it, and con-
fessed it looked like superstition.

The Care of a Cold.

A cold is departure from health,
and should really be attended to at
once. Do not let it cure itself. Get
rid of it at once. Do not feed it, though,
but starve it. One cold after another
nearly always ends in thickening of the
mucous membrane of the bronchial
tubes, and before you are aware you
become the victim of winter cough.
The morning tub (cold, 1 mean) is a
very sure preventative of colds. Never
overclothe or overhead yourself. The
neck should be kept cool Keep away
from fires indoors if you are subject to
colds. Cough, if not the result of SIM
pie laryngeal or bronchial catarrh, may
mean very serious departure from
health and the sooner one sees doctor
in such a case the better. Do not be
afraid to consult him. Remember it is
only those that delay who suffer in the
end.
Getting thin is another serious de-
parture from health. One generally
does lose weight in the winter and re-
gain it in summer, but slow and
steady decrease in weight calls aloud
for medical interference. Want of sleep
and restless nights are things which
cannot be overlooked. The cause must
be found and removed. The trouble
may certainly arise from overwork and
worry combined, but in most cases the
stomach and digestive systems are the
roots of the evil. Nervous people worry
most, but they also work most. Well,
the question one is inclined to ask him
self when he feels something wrong
with himself is, Am I overworking
myself?" I would answer thus: IF
you really enjoy working it cannot in
jure, you very much; but, ON the other
hand, if it is homework, and you find
little pleasure in it, then it will tell on
your constitution But many people
cannot afford to rest. Well, but won
ders can be done by taking exercise.
by breathing only fresh air night and
day, indoors and out, and by careful
regulation of the diet. In conclusion,
let me entreat of you, as you value
your happiness, not to neglect first de-
partures from health. The story of the
reservoir has really a moral for every
one of ms.
