They took eir baths one at a time in a big Wash -tub. One Saturday night, when all three,had taken their baths and were tucked .away snug and com- fortable in their beds, it began to rain, "It is raining !" said Bear, in a big voide.' "And the ducks will_be so hap - By !" murmured the little Baby ear, in .a sleepy voice. It rained all that night and all •day Sunday. Father Bear told Baby Bear stories. Monday , morning the sun shone :bright and warm. Mother Bear said it was a beautiful day for wash- ing clothes. "But, Baby Bear," said she, /,'whatever you do, don't go near the vain -water barrel, beeause you flnig'ntfall in." Baby Bear was not always good. N, bile his mother cleared' the break- fktst-table, Baby Bear thought he vtiould look` at the outside of the rain -water`` barrel.

He could not see in, so he turned the ,clothes -basket upside down, which is the same thing as bottom side up, and then he climbed on top of fit. He could look into the water - barrel. For a few minutes Baby Bear bad a good time playing in the water. Then he leaned over to see if he could see the bottom of the (barrel, when spiashity-splash! he .fell in head first !

The New Corporation Counsel—New Labor Paper—Down Town Problem—A Big Audience. After several months' delay the City Council has decided to appoint his Wor- ship Mayor Geary to the Corporation Counselship, made vacant by the elevation of Mr. IC. L. Drayton to the chairmanship of the Dominion Railway Board. The salary is to bo $0,000 a year to begin with. This ie not much advance over Mr. Geary's income as Mayor, which, was $7,500. But it has the advantage of being perman- ent. Besides, Mr. Geary has expressed the hope that when he makes good the sal- ary will grow. And it doubtless will. Some aldermen who opposed Mr. Geary's appointment on the ground that he was not a big enough lawyer for the job, said they would be prepared to pay $25,000 a year to the right man. viewed from this standpoint, it is just a question if the city will not do as well with Mr. Geary on the job as it would with some man with a made reputation at a fancy salary. It. is true he has not had much experience in legal work. But this is partly offset by his intimate knowledge of mu,nioipal affairs. Beeides, he is young, energetic, diplomatic and ardently ambi- tious. FRENCH CRIMINALS. hirty-Six Per Cent. of All Persons Accused Are Minors.

Wettons• Y '1:�• SOME SORENESS. • The sound criticism of the appointment is on the ground that no member, of Council should be appointed to a perman- ent job during his term of office. In the present instance the Mayor admittedly did not give the subject disinterested con- sideration, and that is something the public, having elected him to the Chief Magistraoy, had a right to expect from him on every issue. particularly on one as important as this one. There is a good deal of underlying soreness about this phase of the matter. There is some surprise that Mr. Geary, by his action, has expressed a preference for his legal profession as against politi- cal life. He could have had a nomination for Parliament any time during the last five . years, and with the star of the Con- servative party in the ascendant he might have been expected to have bad a brilli- ant career. And he may yet return to the political arena. Meanwhile he is to be known as G. R. Geary, K. 0., Corpora- tion Couneel. A NEW LABOR PAPER. The appearance of a new labor paper in Toronto is an event of importance, not so much for the immediate effect it will have in politica or in labor affairs; but because of the potentialities for the future. The editor-in•chief is Mr. James Simpson, for- merly a • typesetter, more ' renen;ly for -many years city hall reporter for one of .the; ]oeal ;.roti lot And .'always,, an,. ~active labor agitator. t well e s .temperance to tuner and, Methodist local preacher. Xre was also a member of the Board of Edo-' cation for some years and was a member of•the Dominion Government's; Commission on Technical Eduoation° He will likely this year be a candidate for the Board of Control. There have been many previous attempts to establish a labor organ in Toronto, but the attempts 'merely served to help fill the newspaper graveyard. A paper called "The Toiler" was the last victim. There are higher hopes for the latest venture. It starts off with fairly liberal support in the way of stock subscriptions from labor. organizations and individuals, so' that it is assured of sufficient capital to give it a chance to get on its feet. To prevent con- trol of the publication falling into the hands of any individual or organization, or even group, the number of shares per. mitred to any one subscriber is strictly limited. It has yet to be demonstrated that the rule of • wood with and tO°n�o nest, IAiis nuts; p suey, spring en••fried with al- esters stewed with •,highly prized by the res`werQ served.

It is expected that the newspaper POLITICS., keep away from tariff' and other iseuel of a general character, devoting itself tp issuee which specifically effect the eiti!, laboring man, such as conditions of labor and workmen's compensation. it will, in its general effect, probably emphasize, ra-' they than diminish the cleavage between city and country. Its first political activity wi11 doubtless be in municipal affairs. A labor "slate" for nearly all the civic aloes • is `within the range of possibilities this year. If moderately successful there the next move, no doubt, will be to get into Pro- vincial and Dominion politics. The estab- lishment of the paper foreshadows the first serious attempt to launch a real labor party in Canadian politics. IN BOND STREET' 0$URCH- In my letter last week some reference was made to the clown town problem con- fronting Toronto churches, and the dis uarters to shirk it andninhothersnsome to meet . The solemn' fact is that of the 60,008 persons living south of College street, only `a small frac tion has been reached by the churches Both in preaching and in works it is un- doubtedly the fact that some of the churches in down town Toronto -are out of sympathy with the masses whom they • are supposed to serve. The ohuroh perhaps most popular in many ways with the crowd is Bond Street Congregational, whose destinies are presided over by Rev. Byron H. Stauffer, who came here several years ago from Buffalo. His methods are much less sen. sational than those employed in this pul- pit twenty years ago by the late Dr, Wild, but he contrives to make his ser- vices interesting, and he always 'draws full houses. He is a man of considerable personality, a fluent speaker and embel- lishes his sermons with frequent refer- ences to the affairs of the hour. Some might call some of his addresses lectures rather than sermons, meaning that there is less of spirituality about them than ,hi usual. Bond street church is sometimes compared to a business, of which the preacher is the general manager. Bearing out the analogy, he has there an &"ice whioh he ocoupies several hours a day And yet Bond street has no empty pews and that is one point gained.

John Loudon McAdam, the road builder, an article which appears in the current issue of Good Roads, is one of considerable interest to -the lay reader, as well as to the man whose business is the building of roads. AN - --- ,arse on mebefore. I am now The article was written by Maur - lee' 0. Eldridge, Assoc. M. Am. Sae, C. E., assistant in charge of road management investigations in. • the United States office of public roads. John Loudon McAdam was born at Ayr, Scotland, on September 21, 1756. He was the son of James Mc- Adam, a, descendant of Adam Mc- Gregor, the first baron of Water - head and one of the Highland clan of McGregor. When James II. of Scotland outlawed the MoGregors, Adam settled in the lowlands and changed his name to McAdam. John Loudon McAdam's mother was Susana Cochrane, daughter of John Cochrane of Waterhead, a rel- ative of the Earl of Dundonald. When John was fourteen years old his father died and he was in- trusted., to the care of his uncle, William McAdam, a merchant liv- ing in New York. He received his business training with his unele and accumulated a considerable fortune during the revolutionary war as an agent for the sale of prizes. When the war was over, McAdam had lost most of his property, but had enough left to enable him to return to Scotland in 1783, and purchase Sambrie, an estate in Ayrshire, where he lived for thirteen years. - He was married twice, his first wife being the daughter of an. American by descent, named De- Lancey. He had seven children, t r .. a nd.three. claLlglie 1.1. b.:. his' f r" tiviE y In Ayrshire, McAdam was magis- trate deputy lieutenant of the county and road trustee. At that time the roads throughout Great Britain, especially in Scotland, were very bad, and McAdam inter- ested himself in investigating con- ditions and conducting experiments in road building. As .a result of his investigations and experiments, he arrived at the conclusion that roads should bo constructed of small broken stone. He contended that the earth foun- dation should -be raised slightly above the adjacent land and that suitable ditches should be built at the sides to provide drainage ; that the earth foundation should be cov- ered by a series of thin layers of hard stone broken into small angu- lar fragments of a nearly cubical Shape, and so nearly as possible of the •.same size. A piece to weigh over six ounces. The layers of bro- ken stone were to be consolidated gradually by the traffic and would ultimately form a smooth hard crust impervious to water and durable in proportion to the hardness of the stone and the density of traffic. He laid down this.principle: That the natural soil really supports the traffic, and that while it is pre- and city officials, says the Los n- 11trr' geles (California) Times; The precious egg was escorted in- to the brilliantly: decorated banquet hall by a retinue of Orientally; garbed waiters and carefully placed in front of the guest of honor, ilio eyed it curiously.

According to a report just pub- lished in Simla, India, the number of wild animals destroyed in India in 1911 was 25,840, as compared with 19,282 in 1910. This total included 1,426 tigers, 5,352 leopards, and 4,251 wolves. Nearly 172,000 snakes were destroyed, as against 91,100. This increase is largely accounted for by the offering of rewards by the Burma Government. That this action was necessary is proved by the fact that in one area the paddy fields were so snake infested that their cultivation was impossible. Altogether 1,947 persons were killed by wild animals and 24,264 by snakes, the figures for 1910 being 2,382 and 22,478 respectively. The number of cattle killed by wild ani- mals was 91,709, against 93,070, and by snakes 10,533, as against 10,990. With regard to snake bite of hu- man beings it is said that in the Bombay Presidency, the United Provinces and Eastern Bengal and Assam the use of Sir Lauder Brun - ton's lancets is reported in a num- ber of eases to have resulted in a high proportion of cures. As • in previous years, however, the stasis- tics relative to the successful use of this instrument can only be accept ed with reservations. xudifaf Root Pills areust the right medicine for the children.
