THE bye rlootione to fill the seats

Perth, North Norfolk and North Grey,
will be held on Wednesday, January 7th.
The nominat'one took place on Decent.
81st, Two of these seats, North Perth
and North Norfolk, were carried in the
general election on May 99th, by the
Conservative candidates, J. 0. Monteith
having a'majority of 2 in North Perth
and Dr. F. P. Snider a majority of 28 in
North Norfotu, In the previous Legis•

supporters of the Government. In North

supporter, was returned in May last by a
majority of 5.
Tau majority for the Liquor Act of
1902, from the vote taken on Deo. 4, has
massed up to a very large figure and all
returns are 031 complete yet. Total vote
polled, 301,2118 . Total vote for Act, 198,-
630 ; Total vote against, 102,088; Major.
ity for Aet, 95,992. This in round
figures is 90,000 and shows that bad
14,000 more "Yea" votes been polled the
figure asked by the Government would
have been retrained. It is not going to
far to say that this number could have
been easily attained had every voter done
his duty. O.,ly 11. oonatitaenoies gave
majorities agtinet the Aot. It is not to
be expeoted that the Prohibitionists will
permit this espreseioo of opinion to pass
by unimprov:d but plans ehoald be care-
fully matured so that the wisest and beat
notion may b 3 taken. Those opposed to
the Aot are lot unconcerned over the
vote by any means. The follow-

pool generally stay there as short a time au
poaeible. It is a hurry from the boat to
the railway station and from the railway
station again to the boat, and in that way
Liverpool is not very well known. It is
the principal seaport in England and the
third oity in the kingdom, with over
700,000 of a population. There are some
flue buildings worthy of admiration, if
one has a taste for fine architecture, such
as the North Western Hotel ; close by
Lime Street railway station, and St.
George's Hall directly opposite. The
Hotel is the eaormnue length of 600 ft.
by 170 ft. wide. The corporation bus of
late expended large sums of money wid•
ening and improving the streets ; some
of them being very fine indeed. There
are also the famous docks that flank the
river for 7 or 8 miles, having a water area
of 870 acres and 24 miles of quays, but
the most wonderful of all ie the landing
stage half a mile in length and over 100
feet wide, supported by 200 iron pontoons ;
It rises and falls with the tide and for the
conveoieoce of travellers there is a post-'
office, inolcding telegraph and telephone
offices, in the Custom House dote beside
the landing stage. Liverpool is justly
famed for their draught horses and one
cannot but admire such floe, large, glossy
animals so tractable attending to every
word of the driver, or leader I should say,
for he walks beside his hortfe and ie proud
of him ; Englishman know how to keep
and care for horses. This was also the
native place of the poetess, Mre. Hemans,
and has the distinguished honor of being
the birthplace of the "Grand Old Man,'
Wm. B. Gladstone. Although Liverpool
is comparatively smell compared with
London, yet the goods stations are even
more remarkable Than those of London ;
the North western Railway company
have 6 goods stations, two of them reach-
ed by tunnels each one mile and a quer
ter in length, constructed for their use
alone ; one of these stations called Edge
hill, is a goods yard, it contains 57 miles
of railway lines and cost $10,000,000.
There are also 3 passenger stations, 90
whichever way one wishes to go there is
very little delay getting a train to suit.
Business men who desire to reach their
destination as quick as possible can have
a through train, wheeling them along at
the rate of 60 miles an hour but for ordi
nary travellers the slower trains are very
comfortable, Liverpool with the inoreas-
ing population, the railway facilities and
famous shipping port is pressing Glasgow
hard for aecood city in the Kingdom. In
speaking of fast trains there was one just
lately made an effort to run from London
to Carlisle, a distance of 800 miles with
out stopping and would have succeeded
but for a block on the line close to Oar.
lisle. These fast lines are run under
what is called tbe absolute block system,
the approach of the train being telegraph-
ed from signal box to signal box the train
not being allowed to pans one of these
poste until word has been received from
the next in advance that the line is clear ;
these signal boxes exist at intervals of
about one and a half miles apart, through.
out the line. The engines are fitted with
an apparatus by which they are enabled,
while travelling at a high speed to take
up the necessary supply of water for the
tenders ; the water for Chia purpose lying
stored in long troughs laid between the
rails, 6 of these troughs at regular inter.
vale along the line. Through trains from
London to Aberdeen, 540 miles, are fitted
up with all modern conveniences for firer
and third.olasa passengers (there being no
nomad oleos.) The great mass of the
people travel third-alaes there. Oorridor
trains with dining and sleeping oarriagee
are attached to all trains on long journeys.
I think people who have travelled on both
sides of the ocean prefer the trains on
our side for a long distance, they are
longer, wider and higher and better ven1i
lated, but for short runs such as they
have in England their oarriagee are very
comfortable, The fare is lower ; single

FOR. ONTARIO'S
SICK CHILDREN.
Opportunity for Every Citizen to Join In the Noble Work of Bring-
ing health and Happiness. to Young Lives.
When a farmer puts his seed under
mother earth he expects it to bear
bushels of grain in a few months.
So it is with the merchant. He in.
vests money in merchandise, counting
on a profitable turn over.
A father pays for his son's education
anticipating that it will provide the
young man with the powers of mind to
put the body and head at work in gain-
ing a livelihood.
Yet the seed may not bring forth
grain, the merchandise may not be
sold at a profit, and the young man
may not reach the ideals of .his father.
In all these instances the expendi-
ture of money is a speculation. It
may bring happiness and it may not.
To -day the Hospital for Sick Child-
ren, Toronto, is performing a Heaven -
born mission on earth. It is renewing
health, removing pain and straighten-
ing distorted limbs of hundreds of
13E001312 8V321313
young Canadians, boys and girls who
will yet make their hark in this grow-
ing Dominion, but who, were It not for
this noble institution, might have al-
ready filled an early grave.
That's where your dollar can find a
way to bring you pleasure and profit
without any doubts o1' fears as to the
investment. Money is always at work.
It is ceaseless in its labour, but in no
spot in this fair Canada is it put to
better service than at the Hospital for
Sick Children.
You see your money is at work from
the very day it is placed at the Hos-
pital's disposal. Your investment
quickly brings you back joy, for your
contribution has entered into the tas•ir
of life saving, body building and
health giving.
Look at a few examples of the work
done in the Orthopedic Department.
The feet shown are those of children
'who live outside of Toronto. You see
the condition "before" entering the
Hospital -and you see the condition
"after" hospital treatment. The par-
ents of these children could not afford
to pay for treatment. Do you know
of any child so situated? Then have
him sent to the Hospital.

The Hospital for Slok Children de-
pends solely upon tho generosity of
the people of Ontario. It requires
$35,000 a year for its maintenance,
and it stands to -day as a monument to
the big hearts of Ontario people. Lo-
cated though it is In Toronto, it is not
a city institution; ft is provincial.
The child in the farthermost regions
of Ontario has the same rights and
privileges as one that may live next
door to the hospital, Tho Ontar o
child is on a level with the Tarot' e
child. Neither has an advcntaga.
It take. a dollar a patient per day to
maintain the Hospital. 'rho Ontario
Government contributes $7,000 a year
or almost seventeen cents per patient
per day, for there are always at least
1111F0RE AFTER
one hundred and twe ity children under
treatment. This amount from the
government is all expended on main.
tenance. Thee the corporation of the
city of Toronto gives 07,500, or seven-
teen cents per patient per day, and
remember, not for Toronto patients,
but for every child no matter from
what point he may come. And in ad-
dition to this Toronto citizens donate
$6,000 for the maintenance of all
patients.
Again remember all these gifts from
Toronto are devoted to the main-
tenance of patients from all over On-
tario as well as the city itself, and
the children that seely relief front
places outside are very numerous, and
1t ought to lie as great a privilege and
pleasure for the generous citizens of
the province to contribute to the main-
tenance of this Hospital as it is for
the people of Toronto.
Ten years ago the Hospital was en-
cumbered with a mortgage. Year by
year the mortgage has been reduced,
and it is now paid.
The Hospital must proceed in per-
forming its great mission. Money is
needed to maintain it, and this appeal

e made for that purpose. Hospita
work cannot be conducted without
money. To keep the machinery mov-
ing the dollars and cents of the people
of Ontario are needed. Nurses, do-
mestics and officials have to live,
Their wages must be paid.
True, it is, that some have to pay -
yea, all who can afford it are expected
to pay -but those who cannot pay and
can produce the certificate of a clergy-
man or known ratepayer of the pro-
vince to the effect that they are too
poor to pay, can have maintenance and
treatment free of charge,
This year an effort is being made to
clear away a bank overdraft created
by cost of maintenance. Every dollar
sent us helps to lighten the load that
is being carried,
Let everyone who can spare a dollar
forward It as quick as the good
thought strikes them, to Douglas
