It is' entitled "In The Hospital" More than once in the monthly re views attention has been drawn to the hardships in the lot of the hospital nurse, but the matter does not ap- pear as vei to have received the no- tice which it deserves. A medical writer has, however, now contributed 'an article to a daily contemporary, in which stress is laid on the severe overwork and prolonged hours of those women in the nursing ranks who are attached to our great hospitals, There must be something behind these frequent protests.

ROAD QUESTION.

On Sabbath last a memorial ser: | ed out nesrly everywhere in Ontario, 1 have travelled, by road, through the greater part of Ontario, seeing only one toll gate outside of Frontenac, and that was on a bridge, nov a road. Jd. Statute labor, under inexperience ed or ignorant road masters, is un satisfactory, Experience has 'proven, | in many instances, that it is hetter to commute the labor at fifty cents or even forty cents per day, and hire ' competent, experienced workmen at $1.35 or more per dav, to do the work, Let me add, in this connection, the time is near at hand when road overseers, will be appointed to super intend and direct all construction and repairs, made on the roads, and fur ther when these overseers will he ye quired to pass au examination on this important subject © before becoming, qualified, May the good sense and progressive spirit of the people hasten such legislation -~Pardon this digres sion.

A word for the faemers of Loughboro and Portland, than whem none are more benefited, and among whom are many complainers. Formerly we, to gether with other townships, paid directly or indircetly not anly to keep these roads in repair, but also to maintain toll gate keepers with their families. These gate keepers were no objects of charity, but persons able and willing to earn a competent liv ing, but what they were earning for ns that we should salary and sustain them is a problem wore difficult than my limited knowledge of mathematics will endhl# 'me to Wolve, Let us try something easier. The cost por " year for tolls to a farmer who travelled to Kingston, iy the Sydenham road, say once a week, sould be $9.96.

Further. some claim that merchants and others travelling the roads rvegularlv gain an undue ad vantage by the removal of these tolls Let us take an instance. The price of goods in our local stores is made up of two items--cost and profit. Now the freighting of goods over free roads costs less than over roads exacting a fine of eighteen cents for each round trip, #0 that the goods costing less will be sold for less, and the cn tomer is the gainer. So we find oven the prices in our country stores are all contingent upon cost. We farmers pay the storekeeper's toll bills when we buy his goods. The position of the farmer has been unique, in that he was permitted to foot the bill right along. No wonder he finds fault with any and every change.-- A CHANCELLOR APPOINTED.
