Sat stitching and snarling-
Who in the world
Was the tailor's darling2
To rons Of his kind
Was be well inclined,
But he dotted on Jack the Startling.
For the bird had q tongue,
And OF words good store,
And his cage was hung
Just over the door,
And he saw the people,
And heard the roar
Folk coming Ind going
Evermore-
And he looked at the tailor
And swore.
From a country lad
The tailor bought him
His training was bad,
For tramps had taught him,
On alehouse benches
HIS cage ba been,
While louis and we1ches
Made jests obscene
But he learned, no doubt,
His oaths from fellows
Who travel about
With kettles and bellows,
And three or four,
The roundest by far
That ever he swore,
We're taught by tar.
And the tailor beard
well be friends!" said he,
you're = clever bird,
And our tastes agree
We both are old,
And esteem life base,
The whole world cold,
Things out of place,
And we're lonely, too,
And foil OF cars--
So what can We do
But swear?

How you muttsrl

THE STARRING THAT SWORE

And the swearing Of one
Meant no more than the others.
Twas just way
They had learned. you see
Each wanted TO say
ONLY this-''Woe's me!
I'm poor old fellow
And I'm prison so,
While the sun shines mellow,
And tho corn waves yellow,
And the fresh winds blow
And the folk don't care
If l live to die,
But l long for air,
And l wish to fly!
Yet unable to utter
And too wild to bear.
They coud only mutter it,
And swear.
Many year
They dwelt in the city,
In the prisons drear,
And none felt pity,
And few were sparing
OF censurs and uoldness,
To hear them swearing
With such plain holiness;
Bnt at last. by the Lord,
Their nuise was stopt-
For down on his board
the tailor dropt.
And they found him dead,
And done with snarling,
And over his head
Still srumbled the Startling;
But he an old Jew
Ulaim'd the goods of the tailor,
And with eye askew
Eyed the fssthery railer.
And. with frown
At the dirt and rust,
Took the old cage down,
In shower of dust
Jack, with heart aching,
Felt life past bearing,
And shivering, quaking,
All hope forsaking,
Died, swearing.

regular force cannot be spared from the
regular work OF the department. There
fore at lerat two field parties will have 10
be provided for at present, namely: two
leVelmen. two rodmen and two chainmen.
When the work Is in full operation, two
more such parties may become necessary,
and would have to be provided for later
on. One draughtsman is necessary, who
will have to m Ike drawings, etc, Of all
changes in location or arrangement Of
sewers, manhOles, and one clerk who
keeps record of all work done by con-
tractors, inspectors reports and every
thing connected with record OF sewer
work, for estimates, etc.
The assistant engineer. draughtsman
and clerk and at least six men for level
parties are absolutely necessary now and
should be appointed at once in the inter-
est OF the city as well as In justice 10 the
contractor, inaSmuch as under the exist
ing state of affairs the city will soon be
the cause of delay to the contractor and
to his damage. The above nine men
should constitute the working force abSO-

more level parties three or six men as the
case may be- may be required In the fu-
ture.
The direct supervision Of the actual
laying of sewers degolveS upon the In
SpecUOrS, and one inspector will be re-
quired for every gang OF sewer workmen

twelve inspectors will probably be re-
quired when the work is in full swing.
For the next week or two about three or
four inspectors may suffice. Your COM
mittee have in hand the applications of
about 81 men for position OF Inspector
ship. We have met and examined about
eleven applicants so far and will continue
with the examination OF the rest this
week. From among the applicants when
all are examined. we intend to submit TO
your consideration the names Of ten or
fifteen men, with the further recOmmen-
datiOn that the city engineer, whenever
he requires that the progress OF the work
requires it. shall appoint the inspectors
from the list of names so approved,
We also recommend that the following
inspectors be appointed today: John

that authority be given to the engineer 10

The Hazle Mines fire is giving the
Lchigh Valley people considerable more

stead there are nearly dozen officials
giving orders.

also prevail in the btuminous trade,
and this variety of coal is cheaper than
it has' been for some time. The coal
sold lately as low as 80 a ton.
