LibeyaIl'lywt-hpu: sands of citizens make it a. pomt of bemg away from_ home a-t‘EaBt/eriklr‘hf; umbfer 'Sir William Meredith, who for the past two years has been investigating the Workmen’s Compensation With a. View to recommending legislation, has proved himself a dl lomat of the first degree by the report w ich he has jest-presented ta the Lezisla-ture. One of the chief causes of contention in connection with the Act will be as to what classes of citizens should be exempt. Sir William received much evidence on this point. For example, there is no doubt the-t there will be great opposition in farming communities to any enactment which will make employers liable for injuries sustained by their help: In the same way store-keepers em- ployinz perhaps only one clerk. in many cases where the chances of injury are of the slightest degree. will object vigorously at any taxation which might be imposed fer the purpose of Workmen’s Compensa- Sir William has neatly side-stepped this entire controversy. Ha has done so by leaving the whole question of what classen are _to be exempt. to the discretion of the Legislature. Hie Act as framed applies pmversally. and if it went into force as I1t 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 exemntions shall he must be thrashed out by the members in the House. No doubt a great number of exemption; will be asked for and the Act. will be lucky if it esq‘apqs emasgulation. . . ,,, AL- 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 estatefirm 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. Erledmann Was Pleased. ’Toronto physicians are gratified that Dr. Friedmann should have given so much attention to Toronto patients, and that he was so complimentary in his reyniarhs concernin his operations here. He said that his ocal clinic was the. most satis- factory that he hadhad. this being due largely to _the system of recistration 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 sufferers from the disease. Local physicians con- tinue to be unenthusiastio, but hopeful. Dr. Friedmann was greatly impressed with the cordiality shown in Toronto and other Canadian Cities. particularly when contrasted with the disposition of aloof- ncss which greeted him in New York. One 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 tubercular patients. But such a story seems too diabolical for belief. Olvic Troubles. Toronto has been having its troubles in civic financing. In round figures it takes about $10,000,000 a year to run'the city, and as a great proportion of this amount is required for capital expenditures, it means that much cash has to be raised by Selling bonds and debentures. The market for the last year not having been good. there i on hand an accumulation of unsold bonds. with the result that the city has been perilously close. to the point of not having ready cash With which to pay current, expenditures. In recent weeks small bond issues have been disposed of on more or less satisfactory terms and the situation has been temporarily reliev- Lion. uo‘ “‘1‘” vmugou. «no... 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. 0n the face of it it looks‘as though his findings lean toward the slde of the working men. Gardening Days. Sir William will now have more free- dom than for some time to devote t9 his flowers and. his gsrdeninz. 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 ravine, is every summer a real living home of flower. life. He has. made gardening a. health-giving relaxation from a. strenuous life. The ar- rangement of his grounds and flower beds is narticulsrly pleasin . Nor is Sir Wil- liam one of those gar eners who likes to let other people do the work. Like Glad- stone. who sought mental relief by cut- timz down trees on his farm at Hawarden, Sir William always delizh'ts 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. 0f~the names mentioned in eon- nection with the property only from the T. '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 yours BL, there is the keenest interest in what will happen. ‘ The statement has 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» nativity in Toronto yeal estate. n M“ As result of this situation the Treasury Department has come in for a. great deal of criticism. Unfortunately. Mr. Richard T. Goady, who has been City Treasurer for twent -five years, and to whom the city looko to sell its bonds and keep .1he strong box well supplied with ready cash. has been seriously 111.

In Europe Preparations Made From Insects Aro 3Used. Among the. last of the remedies provocative of nausea offithe imagi- nation to disappear from the lists of ofl‘ici'al remedies have been pre- parations made from ants. Such preparations, however, Lhave not obtained much recognition in this country, even among the“.wise old women ' in domestic practiceâ€"- though in parts of Europehthey are yet in use. Ant baths, made by boiling ants in water, are yet in use by Bavarian peasants fof rheuma- tism and gout, and also in Hessven and Hungary. In Bohemia, it is said, for paralysis of the lower limbs patients are placed in an antâ€" hill and allowed to remain until the whole body is covered with the in- sects, which are then shaken off, when the cure is vffecte-d.

Impoverishment of blood is cured by means'of/an egg buried in the hill oi the large red antes. The egg must have been laid by aâ€"pure white or black hen, and must have been found when still warm. In Oberwalz 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 gypsies against goitre. There is in use in Montenegro the “ant suture” in domestic surgery. Those who had been bitten by ants had noticed that the 'heads‘remain- ed clinging to the skin 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 edges of 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.
