 ..The most perfect system of book keeping eyer invented will not account for bottles. My brains are simply peter inp out in this unfathomable question of bottles. When I send out one hum fred bottles of milk in the morning I'm dead certain to lose track of half 1ozen; l never look upon them bottles all again. Never again, sir. The millSs are eight cents and the bottles are eight cents. But the people who would scorn to steal milk will keep the bot ties.

 The black-eyed Susan, that brown and-golden lover of the sun, is here. It loves the open, sunny meadows, and the stalk and the blossom grow in great luxuriance as the season ad- vances. Here and there the high brown center is streaked with powdered gold, as if it were touchstone newly used to test the precious metal. The addi- tional touch of beauty, however, is only conferred that the fertilization of the seed may be insured. The gold dust is pollen.-N. Y. Sun.
 This is the time of year and this the particular period when the house dweller comes out after dinner and sits on the stoop to get the fullest benefit of whatever air there may be stirring; l and this is also the exact time when the wonder goes about selling those disks of straw or dried grass which are variously known, according to whether they are sold in the city or the suburbs, as stoop seats, or yeranda seats or lawn seats. One of these seats placed carefully on brown-stone step softens the stone materially, and adds greatly to the sitter's comfort.

l Mf. Frank G. Bridges, attorney for the Water X Light Company then addressed the council claiming that the council had no right to interfere with the company ill its supply of water to individual consumers and that his company at all times had sufficient pressure for fire purposes.
 Mayor Bell then called Alderman Howell to the chair and took the floor and delived vigorous address He reviewed the troubles of the past few weeks and strenuouslY main tained that the company was not complying with it's contract with the city. and said he had advised with learned legal counsel and all had advised him that the contract could be annulled in the courts. He therefore advised the employment of legal counsel with q view of testing the matter, and further stated that the supply of water was inadequate for either domestic or fire purposes.
 Attorney Bridges notified the council that his company would not submit to further tests or false alarms, and if the company's bill was not paid the water would be turned off
 A long discussion followed partici- pated in by Aldermen Atkinson, Howell, Well, Goza and Galbraith, during which the Mayor remarked 1 that under the terms of the contract after paying 5000 year and at the expiration of the contract the city would owe the company $60,000, and that if the policy was continued of paying fora service the city does not get, the city would be bankrapted, and he believed the present the best opportunity to get rid of bad eontract.
 Alderman Atkinson asked Attor- ney Bridges if the company would submit to two-hours test, to which the latter replied that they would not.
 Alderman Goza then read q report of the fire committee to the effect thai a pressure of fifty to eighty pounds should be maintained for fire purposes.
 Alderman Atkinson then offered the following resolution, which was adopted:
 RESOLVED, that the Board af Pub lie Affairs be and are hereby author- ized to employ special legal counsel to assist the City Attorney in such matters as in the judgment of the Board may be deemed necessary.

Lochren is carrying things with a
high hand in the Pension Bureau. In
the deficiency bill, passed last Decenl-
Der, a proviso was inserted declaring
a pension to be vested right so far
that it can not be suspended or taken
away without thirty days notice to the
pensioner and information of the
nature of the charges against him.
But Lochren has paid no sort of at
tention to IL. He has arbitrarily sus-
pended pensioners without hearing,
despite this provision of law. The
veterans will find out after a while
that democratic control means injus-
tice and oppression to them. BLADE.
