viii Hold Strictly to Ordinance.

ID. Mcdonald has decided to not
build the covering ever the side plat
form to his store, as 1t met with a
good deal of objection, and while
there was a question as to whether
the proposed improvement could be
called an awning or shed, yet he de-
cided to not build It.
The fire ordinance was framed to
prevent the construction Of any more
wooden buildings in the fire limits,
to prevent their removal from place
to place where the danger from fire
would be increased and also to pre-
vent the enlargement OF the wooden
buildings already within the pre-.
scribed district. While this has re-
suited In hardship to a few, who were
so situated that they were unable to
put up brick or stone buildings, II
will result in good to the city, and II
has already resulted In tearing down
of ancient Gre traps and the erection
of substantial buildings In their stead.
The council have taken q stand In
the matter, and will hold strictly to
the ordinance, believing 1t to be to
the best interests of the city. II II
ever decides to adopt more lenient
measures, the law viii be changed ac.
oordingly. a.

DIAGNOsTICIANs.


AS an illustration of the old saying
that doctors will differ" the follow
ing is related by physician of un-
questioned veracity In the cours9o o
a lecture which he was delivering be-
fore a number of students, he had
brought in by the mother child six
months old, which, he stated, was
suffering from a very peculiar affec-|
tion-one seldom seen in this country
and he requested five of the students
present each separately to diagnose the
case.
The first gave it as his medical be-
lief that the child was suffering from
incipient pneumonia; the second, af-
ter examination, pronounced it inci-
pient diphtheria the third staked his
reputation upon its being peritonitis !;
the fourth called it marasmus, while
the fifth said it was malaria. )" When
they had each made careful exami1 4
nation the lecturer said
"Well, gentlemen, have you any1
thing further to say in regard to the
case?"
"Nothing more than has been al
ready said," was the reply from each
"Well," said he, taking the littld
one and holding it up before them
"this is child that has never hao
days illness since its birth. It Il
most perfectly healthy child that
have ever Seen."

ART OF SWEEPING.

Every one does not know how to
sweep room. Itrequires skill, COM
bined with patience, to clean a room
properly. The chief mistake made by
a novice is to think she can hurry
through it, and tothink the room will
be clean if she takes feRg, heA1rIn
strokes with her broom. Short, lig
strokes which are firm will do the worky
as it should be done. 1t is always
best to sweep heavy Brussels carpet,
or one of similar make, once with the
grain, then once across it, going over
each 3 or d yards in this way until
the entire carpet is swept /; when a
carpet is old and evenly worn this is
hardly necessary, but if it is new, or
has any preceptible ridges, this meth
cd should surely be followed. After :
going over room thoroughly, allow
the dust to settle, and in ten or fifteen
minutes give it a final brushing,
sweeping it lightly, and nothing is
more satisfactory than a sweeper or
dampened broom.
Tea leaves scattered over the Va
pet are good. They should be squeel
ed as dry as possible, and sprinkle
over the carpet before the final sweep
Another good plan is to sprinkle the
floor before starting to sweep with Ia
Bile salt. The salt seems to brighten
the colors of faded carpet, as we'll
as to aid in removing dust. When
the second sweeping is over use a
whisk broom in the corners and
around the edges. After the walls
are busted and the carpet clean it is
we'll to wipe off the surface Of the car
pet with cloth dipped in altand wa
ter, which has been wrung out as dry
as possible. This will remove every
trace of dust. The cloth used for the
purpose must be frequently rinsed in
to the fresh water, and then dipped
into salted water again, and wrung
out as before. Then some folks like
to go over the carpet with ammonis
water, but I prefer salt, as salt keep
out moths.
It is needless to say that IN sweep
ing as thoroughly as this every artl-
Gle which is movable should be rem
ed first, or busted, and carefully
cred with old sheets. When buy
heavy pieces of furniture be carefr
select those that have good, e
moved casters, so the articles ma
pushed about, and the dust be
from behind and from undern
them. s
It is a great mistake to neglect
sweeping as thoroughly as this every
two weeks; if you do the dust be-
comes ground into a carpet and helps
it to wear it out. Besides, dust discol-
ors it more, or quite as much, as wear.
Fortunately, many houses of to-day
are built with hardwood floors, so the
burden of sweeping is greatly lessen
ed, as rugs are easily lifted, shaken
or beaten out of doors. Hardwood
floors if swept with hair brush (in'
stead of broom) then rubbed with a
little oil, or simply polished with a
waxing brush, can be kept in good
condition with comparatively little
labor.

For "THE UNION
BE PATIENT.
BY EDWIN HIGGINS.

Be PATIENT
The break of day must come,
Ere the rosate dawn:
Riffs of glowing sunbeams
Ere the golden morn;
Full and glorious sunrise
To blaze radiant way,
Gross the azure skyland
For the perfect day.
Be patient:-
After wintry sunset
Comes the after glow:
Beneath the drifting storms
Waking daisies grow;
After the longest drought
Comes refreshing rain;
In the realms of darkness
Shine the stars again.
Be patient:-
There must be fountain
Ere the rivers flow;
Painetaking and seed time
Ere the harvests grow;
There must be planting
Ere the full cared corn,
Pruning briers and brambles
Ere the rose with thorn.
Be patient:-
Scan the heightsl ! Perfection J
Climb the lofty stairs
For many weary days.
Perchance, long drawn years:
Broaden your strong shoulders
Up, life's burdens bear;
Up to the summit climb;
And stand victor there.
