9 their occupants. As to furniture — you may perchance dis- cover a broken chair, the tottering relics of an old bedstead, or the mere fragment of a table ; but more commonly you will find rude substitutes for these things in the shape of rough boards resting upon bricks, an old hamper or box turned upside down, or more frequently still, nothing but rubbish and rags. Every room in these rotten and reeking tenements houses a family, often two. In one cellar a sanitary inspector reports finding a... father, mother, three children and four pigs ! In another room a missionary found a man ill with small pox, his wife just recovering from her eighth confinement, and the children running about half naked and covered with dirt. Here are seven people living in one underground kitchen, and a little dead child lying in the same room. Else- where is a poor wddow, her three children, and a child who had been dead thirteen days. Her husband, who was a cabman, had shortly before committed suicide. Here lives a widow and her six children, including one daughter of 29, another of 21, and a son of 27.
