Friday, May 271311, 19.04:. ; HOSPITAL SUNDAY. .___â€" The Governors of the Ross Memorial Hospital at Lindsay have isuucd their annual circular, asking the Churches to set apart the last Sunday in May as Hospital Sunday; and the response to last year‘s appeal was so general and generous that they have reasons for con- eluding that the Christian communities of the county have accepted the propo- sal, and that the day may be considered as established. Up to the 30th of last September, which was the close of the Hospital year, the sum of $411 14 was received from the Churches. and sev- eral congregations have sent contribu- tions since then. The need for help is as urgent as ever, and we hope that on Sunday next every member of every congregation will give as much as he or she can afford in aid of the good work, than which none can be more deserving. All money collected should be remitted to Mr. James R. McNeillic, Secretary- Trecscrer, Lindsay, whose name, as well as that of Mr. John D. Flavclle, Chair- man, is at the bottom of the circular. W Our Summer Hotel. The work which was commenced lost your and resumed in the spring, under the management of Mr. Fred Brodic,' of Toronto, upon the old hotel and other buildings belonging to the R. C. Smith estate in this village, is now practically cuished; but the ground. about three acres in extent, is yet to be cleared of stones and rubbish and enclosed by a wire fence. The buildings, which will accommodate a very large number of guests, consist of the old hotel called the Clifton House, and seven one and a halfstcry houses, measuring about 24 by 36 feet, each of which is arranged so as to form tenements for two separate Families. All these buildings are now practically new, nothing being left of the original structures except the frames and such joists and sills as were found upon aclosc inspection to be perfectly sound. The hotel, the walls of which were raised before the new roof was put on, is now three stories high, contains 3 twenty-five bedrooms, a bathroom fitted 'up by Dunc E; Co., of Port Hope, and eight other rooms, exclusive of the bar room, which is not under the main roof, and the ceiling and walls of which are covered with embossed metal plates, which were put on by Mr. William Deymau Jr. hot water apparatus, put in by :thc l’ease Furnace C0,, of Toronto, but the dining room, smoking room and sitting: room have each an open fireplnco. There are three cellars under the build- ing. and immediately under the roof is a 40~barrcl tank, which is filled by an electric pump from the well, which is 45 feet deep. Light will be furnished by about 110 clcctriclamps, which were installed by Mr. Ernest Pearce. The balustradcs and hand-rails of the prin- ciple stairway are of ash, and the pan- ellicgs of the best rooms are of the same" wood. The plastering was done by Mr. Edward Buckncll, of Toronto, and Mr. Edward Chambers did the painting. .. On the front and west..of the hotel runs a two-story vcrnndah 12 x 90 feet, on each story of which there will be ten electric lights, and which will afford a cplendid lounging: place for the guests. The hotel measures 40 x 75 feet. ox» elusive of the bar-room, which is 18 x 22 feet. On the roof ot the hotel are several small dormer windows, and the shingles on the roofs were dipped in creen point before they were laid. At the rear of the\lct are a. stable, 30 X 50 feet, containing twenty single stalls. three box stalls and a harness room, a. driving shed 18 x 65 feet and an ico- house 12 x 14. feet, all of which build- ings are new and are to be painted. The seven houses, which were plastered by Mr. Inkpin, are all new except the “ skeletons,” and the majority of them have neat verandahs at the rear, as, unlike the hotel, they do not face the river. Tenants for all, or nearly all. of them could have been got without the least difficulty, but it is expected they will be needed for the accommodation of guests. The executors of the Smith estate have at last supplied a “long-felt. want," and it is hoped that the money spentâ€"about $6.000â€"will prove 0. pro- fitable investment. It is not yet known who is to manage the hotel, but as soon as a thoroughly reliable and competent man shall have been secured, a license will be applied for and probably grant- ed. The work on the buildings reflects great credit on the different artisans by whom iblwas done. Cleanlinessjn the‘ Dairy. The London, Eng, correspondent of the Otago Daily Times, New Zealand, says: “ On Thursday I had placed before in almost OVery Canadian paper about The hotel is heated by a . f. in me an illustration of how necessary it is the excursion by the Manita frc‘m‘r'Liud‘ that in the manufacture of butter there say to Roscdale on Tuesday. should be the utmost cleanliness, partic- ularly so with that produced in the col- onies. While in conversatioli with a gentlman who occupies a prominent po- sition in the butter market here, and through whose hands scores of thouâ€" sands of boxes of colonial butter piss every season, he showed me a slab of butter, some two inches in thickness. marked all over with brownish marks. These marks went I‘llllt through the butter from side. to si la, and‘wcre cana- ed by mould, which had its origin in the dirtincss of the dairy in which the butter had been made in Canadaâ€"for it was a piece of Canadian butter we were looking at. ‘ The whole thing de- veloped in the retailer's shop,’ said the authority with whom Iwas speaking, as he showed me the unsavory lookinu lump. ‘It was all right when we got. it, and it was all right when the retailer bought it. But the germ must have got therc during, the process of manu- facture. Probably the dairy was an old wooden one, had been allowed to act dusty and dirty, and the wind blew the germs with the dust into the milk or churn. The result you see. We shall be heavy losers; so will be the shop- keeper, who, you may be sure, will not think so highly of Canadian butter in )H the future. . So much has been said of late years the necessity of extreme cleanliness in butter making. that there can scarcely be a farmer's'tvile unaware of its im- portance; but. there are no doubt many who have n’t facilities for making butter fit. to export, and whose husbands are not willing to provide them. This is greatly to be regretted. because, as the London correspondent. says, “ it is use- less for Canadian butter makers to hope to compete with countries like Denmark and New Zeal-and, unless they observe proper precautions as to absolute clean- liness. Any germs caught in the butter will develop and give the maker away. Unfortunately his carelessness injures the ’whole country as well as himself." So long as an occasional “slab ” of bad butter:-is exported from this country, Canadian butter will not take. front rank in the home market. For thefermer’s Eye. Tho Oshawa Reformer says: “ A won- derful difference could be made in the appearance of the country if each farm- er would spend a. day or two in the spring, clearing up the roadside along his farm. And this is an improvement. too, which well pays for the labor. A farm which is neat .and tidy in its ap- proach is worth more, and will sell for more, than a form along the roadside of which there is rubbish, fallen limbs, stones and clump? of weeds. Farmers Should plant some trees along,r the road- side outside the fences. It' the farmers in a district will make united efforts =along these simple lines, they can effect astonishing improvements in the appear- ance of the Country inside a. few years. They should. do it, too, as a matter 61' duty. The pioneers, their forefathers, have done the, heavy work of carving out: homes ;. their successors, now in somewhat easier circumstances, should willingly take up tho pleasant labor of beautifying the country." ‘ WW. «u m..."- .â€" .__..___...._.â€"__.___._‘ " Personals.

The injuries, which were not serious. were dressed by Dr. Wilson. This is the third or fourth accident that has happened in exactly the same way within a few weeks. I SERIOUS ACCIDnNr.â€"â€"On Wednesday of last. week a young man named Wil- liam Maxwell, who was working on the Dickson Company's drive on Gull lake, had one of his legs caught in a warping rope and so badly lacerath that he was taken to the Nicholle Hospital at Pet-- crborough, where the doctors decided it was necessary to, atnputatc the limb, and the operation was performed the: next day.
