a great interest in suffering humanity She was for ever helping tho poor and administering to the sick and needy She viited chief military hospitals in Europe and studied the principal nursing systems In she went to on the Rhine in order to practice the work to which she was to consecrate her life and there she remained three months She also took management of the Street Hospital iin London and sacrificed a large part of her fortune in reorganizing that establishment During the Crimean War of 1854 Nightingale organized a band of nurses at Scutari After a short time she left for the East where her labors were invaluable in attending the sick and wounded She superin tended the band of nurses she brought out with her and was known to work for twenty hours at a stretch with the sick and dying soldiers It was God that sent her to my bedside She nursed me day and night She possessed icreat coolness and was able to help in some of the most exciting work Indeed she was al ways ready to help for the sake of others In 1859 Nightingale pub lished notes on the Hospital notes on nursing in I860 notes on the sanitary state of the army in Of all the loving unselfish and thoughtful

fame old County Council the of an incorporated village or municipality has power to commit indigent person to tho Industrial Homo The reeve of a minor municipality under the now system of county councils is not amenable to the County Council and it said that their discretionary powers ire not always exercised which accounts for the many able- bodied men now being cared for at tho of county On mo tion of Councillor and Hall the Committee on Bylaws was in structed to repeal bylaw No 183 which gave reeves this power of com mitment voting for auditors occupied much time The names first put in nomination Messrs Over Lucas Scott and After seven ballots the voting stood Scott After several more ballots had been taken for second name Scott was the choice Lucas a close second until the last ballot new law however requires an expert accountant so the Council a long story short and also added to County expense by de ciding to appoint a chartered account ant to supervise the work of the auditors at S3 a day of six hours Mr Robert Wray received the ap pointment Mr and County En gineer appeared before the council to speak in reference to a dis pute which has arisen in reference to the construction of York Mills bridge The dispute involves between and 1500 The timbers put into the bridge the contractor calls piles and what tho contractor calls piles the engineer calls timbers The difference in tho cost of the bridge is the difference in the amount allowed in the contract for these items Tho matter was discussed at length in committee and then it was decided to leave matter in the hands of tho commissioners to pass upon in their report Here again the working of the new County Council Act was put to the test It became a question whether ex- Warden Davidson by virtue of his office as warden could act with the commissioners when an other warden had been appointed and before the new commissioners were elected Without looking into the legality of tho matter it was decided that the exwarden should still act and that if the council were not satis- fled they would raise objection to his action when their report was present ed The Finance Committee reported in favor of guaranteeing the waterworks debentures of the village of to the amount of 25000 for years The report was adopted Voting then took place for member ship on the Board of Audit The re sult of the voting gave the positions to J Stokes and These with the County Judge will form the board to audit Criminal Justice accounts Committee on ByLaws and Legislation reported that it would bo necessary to appoint a Commissioner of York Roods for that portion of Kingston Road lying in Township of Pickering Alex received this appointment On motion of Mr Woodcock the Committee on ByLaws was instructed to prepare a bylaw allowing jurors at tending the High Court and Sessions of the Peace extra compensation of cents per mile at any adjournment more than one day The Board of Audit reported constables accounts for civil justice amounting to There has been considerably less vagrancy in the county than in previous years They notice a number of cases where the magistrate imposed a fine and gave time for payment In every case the has absconded and none of tho fines have been paid They re commend magistrates to enforce pay ment of fines or commit to jail They also think expense might be saved by using local constables instead of send ing county constables from Toronto to all parts of the county The practice of some northern magistrates sitting on cases near Toronto was likewise re prehensible The Council then adjourned in order to give the Equalization Committee an opportunity to sit Adjourned till Tuesday Thomas who left years ago and was working in a grist mill at was killed in stantly a few days ago The body will be brought for interment to where many relatives reside A widow and three children survive him Diamond Dyes are the Only Safe and Peine Our legislators have enacted strin gent laws for the prevention of food adulteration and as a result our people have been benefitted and all classes of our population get value for their money It would be a boon to the women of Canada if the adulteration act applied to package dyes sold for home dyeing are now used in tens of thousands of homes and too frequently valuable goods and materi als are spoiled by use of adulterated dyes that should be prohibited by law The Diamond Dyes for long years given the most complete satisfac tion They are the only reliable pure and fast dyes now before the public the only package dyes that can stand the most crucial chemical test Diamond Dyes are by all up-to- date druggists and dealers If you meet a dealer who recommends some other make of pause before you buy from him Such a dealer is

Chicago inventor has solved the problem of getting Bupplies into the Klondike region this winter by means of his snowtraction locomotive When reports of the growing of food began to come from this El Dorado summer very little attention was given to then However as the weeks passed the reports become more Dire calamity threatened the hundreds of American miners in that country of gold It devolved upon the Govern ment to avert the impending crisis The War Department took the matter up and finally agreed that it was ab solutely necessary to get supplies there during the winter to stay starvation But a more serious question confront ed the Secretary of War How was this to be accomplished in a region that was impenetrable Here George Glover came to the front with his snow locomotive and made bold to say that he could solve the problem Thereupon the snow lo comotive was considered by the vernraent and was finally adopted Congress having recently appropriated 200000 for the relief in question of these locomotives are now building in Chicago and New York and thirtytwo freight and passenger cars will be made at Portland Ore for this work These will bo at by February 1 and will start

about eight tons each half the weight of the logging locomotives Their capacity will be about tons burden respectively I find that an eight ton machine will do the work quicker and easier The are now practically ready for shipment to where they will be assembled and then shipped to gether with cars to Dyea Here they will be put up and placed in readiness for expedition which leaves that point on Feb for Daw son City in charge of of the United army Chilcoot pass will be the greatest obstauction encountered on the first trip There is no part of the pass however that pre3enti a grade greater than per cent These locomotives can climb such a grade readily Each machine will have a steam windlass attached and by means of this the train can easily pull itself up at a re gular speed I calculate getting over this pass in less than fortyeight hours with the first train The way once opened subsequent travel will he easier MAY MAKE THE TRIP IN DAYS Capt thinks that the trip to Dawson City will about days I think thirty days will be more accurate Some bridging will doubtless have to be done and parts of the trail opened up by blasting However these things are readily viated The cost of building and equip ping this train will he les3 than 35- Each locomotive will cost about passenger and freight cars and their transportation to will not exceed On reaching Dawson City four of the locomotives will be used in trans porting supplies and passengers to and from the various points and villages lo cated in Klondike gold fields The others will return and make another trip before the winter in Alaska is over The Snow and Ice Transportation Company which owns the right of Glover locomotive will receive cents a pound for transmitting the food supplies for the United States Gov ernment to Dawson City There will be tons in this shipment Patents have been taken put for the invention not only in but in Canada Russia and other northern regions where logging is a distinctive
