Away From Home at Easterâ€"A Diplomat of tho Flrst Degreeâ€"Mystery to be Cleared Upâ€"An Actlvo Career. Easter. the greatest Church date in the entire your. moms to be losmg 1n the~ city something: of tho spirit of olden tunes. This is merely to say that with the in- crease of wealth and population. worldli- ness is on the increase. Literally thou- sands of citizens make it a point of being away from homo at Easter. ‘ The .number of those who spend the entire Winter in southern clinics is on the increase. The Mediterranean or the West Indies are fav- orite tripe, while this season for the first time Panama has been coming in for its share of business. The winter tourâ€" ists do not return until Spring is well ad- vanced and the Easter season sees an exodus to the near south. which is mount- ing to very large proportions. Atlantic City is a favorite resort and Easter Sun- day saw hundreds of Torontonmns on the promenade there. far away from church or other home duties. Sir WIlllam's Dlplomacy. Sir William Meredith, who for the past two years has been investigating the Workmcn's Compensation With a wow to recommendin legislation, has proved himself a dip omat of the first degree by the report which he has just presented to the Legislature. One of the chief causes of contention in connection with the Act will be as to what classes of oitlsens should be exempt. Sir William received much evidence on this point. For example, there is no doubt that there will be great oppositionin farming communities to any enactment... which will make emplovorc liable for injuries sustained by their help. In the same way store-keepers em- ploying perhaps only one clerk. in many cases where the chances of injury are of the slightest degree. will object Vigoroust at any taxation which might be imposed for the purpose of Workmen's Compensa- tion. Sir William has neatly side-stepped this entire controversy. He has done so by leaving the whole question of what classes are to be exempt to the discretion of the Legislature. Ills Act as framed applies universally. and if it'wcnt into force as it is, would apply to every employer of labor in the Province. As it is generally recognized that there must be some ex- emption. the whole question of what these exemptions shall he must be thrashed out by the members in the House. No doubt a great number of exemptions Wlll' be asked for and the Act will be lucky if it escapee emasoulatlon. As far as the controversy between the Labor Unions and the Manufacturers is concerned. Sir William seems to have been able to bring about a certain amount of agreement. On the face. of it it lookses though his findings lean toward the Side of the working men. Gardening Days. Sir William willrnow have more free dom than for some time to devote to his flowers and his gnrdcning.’which is the chief hobby of his life. There is probably no man in the Province who has a great- er love for flowers. and his home. ,which stands above the Rosedale ravme. 18 every summer‘ a. real living home of flower_ life. He has made gardening 9. health-mvmg relaxation from a strenuous life. The ar- rangement of his grounds and flower beds is particularly pleasing. Nor is Sir Wil- liam one of those gardeners v'ho l1kes to let other people do the work. Like Glad- stone. who sought mental relief by cut- ting down trees on his farm at Hawarden, Sir William always delights in the actual labor of his own hands. . The Mystery Block. Toronto's "mystery block” still remains a. mystery. Rumors have recently been revived that the Canadian Northern Rail- way is the owner. but these have been denied. Of the names mentioned in con- nection with the property only from the '1‘. Eaton Company has there been no denial, and the impression still stands that this firm proposes, sooner or later. to move from its present location to the site bounded by Carlton, Yonge. Church and Alexander. As this would mean a tremendous dislocation of business on Yonge St..' there is the kecnest interest in what will happen. The statement as been made by a man supposed to know that the mystery Will be cleared up before the end of the month of May. If this is the case there will be fresh activity in Toronto real estate. Nothing more spectacular than the mystery block has been heard of in real estate records-in this country. The en- tire block, consisting of hundreds of small parcels of property. was bought up by agents of a real estate firm within a few weeks. That was two years ago, and who the real estate firm acted for is as much a mystery as it was then. The deal. of course, involved millions. Meanwhile. Eaton's continue to make improvements in -...._~.. -their present premises. ’ l _and go. " tion almost. Frledmann Was Pleased. Toronto physicians are gratified that Dr. Friedmann should have given so much attention to Toronto patients, and that ho was so complimentary in his remarks concerning his operations hero. He said that his local clinic was the most satis- factory that he had had, this being due largely to the system of registration which prevails, and which reveals the history of each case. The patients treat- ed are. of course. being watched with the greatest anxiety, particularly by suil’ercrs from the disease. Local physicians con- tinue to be uncnthusiastio. but hopeful. Dr. Friedman!) was greatly impreoscd with the cordiality shown in Toronto and other Canadian cities. particularly when contrasted with the disposition of aloof- ncss which greeted him 11 New York. Ono story is to the effect that the reason of his cool reception in New York was the opposition of the drug trust. which. of course. finds one of its chief sources of profit in the medicines which it sells to tubcrculur patients. But such a story seems too diabolicalfor belief. lelo Troubles. Toronto has been having its troubles in civic financing. In round figures it takes about $10,000,000 a. year to ruintlle city. and as a great proportion of this amount is required for capital expenditures, it means that much cash haste be raised by selling bonds and debentures. The market for the last year not having been 200d. there is on hand an accumulation of unsold bonds. with the result that the city has been perilously close to the point oi not having ready cash with which to pay current cxpenditures.~ In recent weeks small bond issues have been disposed of on more or less satisfactory terms and use situation has been temporarily reliev- c . As result of this situation the Treasury Dina tment has come in for a. great deal 0 cr ticlsrn. Unfortunately. lir. Richard '1‘. Coady. who has been City Treasurer for twent ~five years. and to whom the city looko to sell its bonds and keep the strong box well supplied with ready cash, has been seriously 111. It is doubtful if he will ever resume his duties. at least as actively as formerly. Mr. Goady's Career. Mr. Goody has felt Toronto move if any man has. He has been in the city ser- vice for 36 years. Chief Accountant in 1817. City Treasurer in 1888 ‘and ever since. Previous to that he was a lumber mor- cbant. lie has seen eighteen mayors come He has seen the city's popula- quadruple. He became Treasurer just when .the fabulous boom struck Toronto. when in the late '80's, without reason. thousands packed their trunks and moved to thc city from the country districts. This boom burst, and the next ten years was the least encourag- ing in the history of the city. But in the last decade figures have been goinw ahead in jumps. expenditures have more than doubled. assessments and-all other figures bounding nhend'm similar proportions. Mr. Coady is still the paymaster. But there are critics who think that a succes- sot must soon be appomted. Before his illness it was charged that his de art- ment had not kept pace with the tmes. and was really in a. chaotic condition. Who will succeed Mr. Candy; is an open question. Controller McCart y has been allowing a. special interest in the Treasury Department. and it has been rumored that he will follow the oxamplc set by Mayor Geary last your and etc) from the Board of Control into a soft 1i e job at a salary of some $10.000_ a year. But Con- troller Mccarthy denies absolutely that he is a candidate or that he would accept the position if offered to him.{ MILEW. C. C. GLADSTONE.

Suficror of Twenty Years States Hamllton's Pills are a Real Cure. “I can't remember any time during the past twenty years when my heart wasn't aching. If I bent over. dark specks would come before my eyes, and it seemed as if all. the blood in my body wanted to rush to my head." Thus opens the letter of Mrs. Enoch S.

I tell you how I feel to-day and you can understand what a great euro Dr. Hamilton’s Pills have made. I feel strong enough now to work like a man, as for going up stairs on the run, it doesn't bother Inc at all.

The sacred standard of the -pro- phet is enveloped in forty coverings of green taffeta, and is enclosed in a case of green cloth, which also contains a. koran (the book of the law), written by the Caliph Omar himself, and the silver keys of the kaapa, which Selim I. received from the sheriff of Mecca. The standard is twelve feet and the golden ornaments (a closed hand) which surmounts it contains another copy of the koran, written by the Caliph Osman III., the suc- cessor of Mohammcd. In time of peace this precious standard is guarded in the hall of the “Noble Vostment”; thus is styled the dress worn by the pro- phet. In the same hall, in which the tunic hangs are also preserved the other teeth, the holy heard, the sacred stirrup, the sabre and the bow of. Mo-ha-mmed, and the arms and armor of the first caliplis. In war a. magnificent tent is erected for perceiving the sacred standard, which is attached by silâ€" Vcr rings to a lance of ebony. This custom brings to recollection the little temple in which was deposited the eagle of the Roman legions, as related by Dionysius Cassius. the end of every camoaign the saâ€" cred piece of green sil which forms the standard is replaced with great solemnity in a richly ornamented chest. Down to the present epoch this standard has always been a real talisman to the Turks, and. has served to rally the defenders of Is- lamism and to inflame their courage in .batt-le against the Christians. This sacred banner is, however, ne- ver displayed except in time of war as a last extremity. It is the sig- nal for instantly exerting every cf- fort to save the empire. Every Christian is prohibited from stopâ€" ping before or eve-n casting a pro- fane look on this sacred pledge of safety. ANTS As REMEDIES. Preparations From Insects Arc Used. In Europe Made Among the last of the remedies provocative of nausea of the imagi- nation to disappear from the lists of official remedies have been pre- parations made from ants. Such preparations, however, have not obtained much recognition in this country, even among the wise old women in domestic practiceâ€"â€" though in parts of Europe they are yet in use. Ant baths, made by boiling ants in water, are yet in use by Bavarian peasants for rheumaâ€" tism and gout, and also in Hesseu and Hungary. In Bohemia, it is said, for paralysis of the lower limbs patients are placed in an ant- hill and allowed to remain until the whole body is covered with thc in- sect-s, which are then shaken off, I when the cure is effected. In Branâ€" wi-th blood by means of a. crust of bread, and the crust is then placed in an anthi‘ll. Impoverishme'nt of blood is cured by means of an egg buried in the hill of the large red ants. The egg must have been laid by a‘. pure white or black hen, and must have been found when still warm. In Oberwavlz the crushed eggs and lar- vae of ants stirred up with cream are used as a remedy for colic.“ A“ salve made from wood ants,dog fat and coal dust is said to be used by, Hungarian gypsiés " against goitre. There is in use in Montenegro the “ant suture” in domestic surgery. Those who had been bitten by ants ' had noticed that thesheads remain- ed clinging to theiskin when the body was torn away, being held in place by the powerful mandibles. The idea was thus. suggested that the .ants’ jaws could be used to close the edges of wounds. the out are pressed together, an ant is held so that its jaws will grasp both sides and its body is out off. Several are applied along the wound and serve instead of the usual catgut stitches. ibâ€"..

The real origin of the word “potâ€" luck” is unknown to most of the people who use it. In Limoges, France, however, one runs into pot- luck itself. In a certain corner of that quaint city of jostling roofs there is still segregated, much as if m a ghetto, a Saracen population, probably a remnant of the wave of Saracens that swept over Europe hundreds of years ago. Here they live In their crook-ed, narrow streets, following old customs handâ€" ed down from generation to genera- tion. There are many butcher shops in the quarter, and outside of ‘ach steams a great pot of soup over a glowing brazier. In each pot stands a ladle as ancient as the When a customer comes with a. penny, in goes the ladle and comes up full of savory broth and chunks of meat, odds and ends, that the butcher has had left over. And what comes up the customer has to take. One can imagine how anx- iously the hungry urchin or the mother of seven must eye the inex- orable ladle and how a pretty girl might get another draw from the butcher’s boy. At any rate “to take potluck” means to take what you get and say nothing whether the pot is in Li- moges or in the flat of the man who eagerly invites a friend of his youth to dinner. ’ quickly 3. cures colds. the throat and lungs. :: :: 26 cents. â€". :- V v A!
