How to dispose of the sink and slop
water in a safe and expeditions manner
is shown in the illustration herewith.
Two heavy lines indicate the location
of the sink. The common outlet pipe
passes downward in the usual manner,
but Immediately underneath the sink
or under the floor, as most convenient,
a foul air trap is made by simply bend
ing the lead pipe in the form of letter
S; it should extend upward at to
bend little more than the diameter
of the pipe, SO that the pipe at the low
est point of the bend will always re-
main full of water, which prevents
sewer gas from escaping into the room.
Every time the sink is used the water
remaining in the pipe is forced out by

TWO CITES.


Two cities lying together
One full OF dust and strife.
And the weary, hopeless. battle
For gain and fame and life.
The other, crowded with people.
Yet oh! so calm and still.
With the green grass like a carpet
Unsoiled on vale or hill.
There are feet within the city,
But they seem content TO rest;
And hands that lie close folded
over each tranquil breast: .,-. .....
And eyes that behold no beauty
In earth. or sea. or sky:
And hearts that have ceased their
throbbine.
Full satisfied. they lie.
In the flood of noontide glory,
In the moonlight's peaceful glow;
Peasant and lord together,
AS the seasons come and so.
Two cities upon the borders
or a river dark and wide
One where the people trembie
To cross the swelling tide.
And enter the Icy waters
With prayers and bated breath;
This Is the land of the living
The river, the men call Death.
One step and the other city,
With its shafts of marble white
Marking the narrow dwellings.
Looms up before our sight.
Some day we shall Join the sleeperss
Who rest beneath the sod.
And live in Gods silent acre"

Gilbert Stuart, the artist, who made
so familiar to Americans the features

The visit was notable from the fact that
Stuart initiated the inebriate who al.

drinking spirits with: do as | tell

One of the artists asked Stuart for a
pinch of snuff from the box in which
he was inserting a thumb and finger
every few minutes, and then applying
them to his own nostrils.
IL will give it to you," said Stuart,
proffering the box, but l advise you
not to take it. Snuff-taking is vile
habit, and should be avoided"

man.

Trial.

William L. Smith, colored druggist at
Pomeroy Street and Brightwood Avenue
was arraigned in the Police Court this
morning charged with violation of the
law governing the sale of poisons in the

poison; with not having warned the pur-
chaser of the dangerous properties of the
poison; with not having properly labeled
the bottle and with not having the address
of his place of business on the label of
the bottle.
