THE PLUMBERS.
Lincoln Entitled to a Department of
Plumbing Inspection.
Lincoln now has a duly authorized
plumbing inspector in the person of
Bert Chipman. At present Mr. Chip
man is working under the bureau pre
sided over by City Engineer Grant,
but the time is near at hand when
the office of plumbing inspector will
be a department of the city all by
itself. This will be the ease, when
it is officially declared that Lincoln
is a city of 50.000 people. As Lincoln
now has nearer 60,000 than 50,000, it
will not be difficult to get the decla
lation in due time. And the dry
would have to took a long while be
tore securing the services of a man
better equipped for the position than
this same Bert Chipman.
That picnic is still under discussion.

very important state convention, held
at Canton, Ohio.
A Seattle item says: "None but
union brickl-srs are now working

understanding has been reached be

whereby none but union bricklayers

Union bricklayers at Hamilton, Can

agreement at fifty cents an hour and

rtricklayers in the Edmonton, Eng.,
district went on strike recently
against a reduction of 4d per 1,000

are therefore idle in the district.

Bits About the Boys Who Build the
Brick Buildings.
At the international convention of

taken with a view of promoting har

Masons and the Journeymen Stone
Cutters association. A plan to cre
ate a reserve fund targe enough to

adopted. Reports from the variocs
sections of the country show that a
large proportion of the unions have
secured the eight-hour day and that

The Worries of Childhood.
It must be a terrible thing to be a
child nowadays. Overwhelmed with
warnings and restrictions, they must
not play with earth or sand, because
these might contain the bacilli of
phthisis, typhoid or tetanus; they must
not play with other children, for fear
of contagious diseases; their food is
weighed; they are even forbidden to
allow anyone to kiss them. This mi
crobophobia is absurd. Vienna Fain-ilienblaetter.
