the debate in the House of Commons
toeduy on the Irish Land 13111 was
marked by the introduotion by Mr.
Wyndham, Chief Secretary for Ire-
land, of an amendment designed to
remove the difficulties in regard to the
retention in clause one of a provialon
for a minimum price at which tenants
may purchase their holdings and per-
mitting bargains to be made outside
of the judicial zone.
The amendment is bailed on all sides
as being a. great concession John
Redmond, the Irish leader, declared
Mr. Wyndham had saved the bill, and
the amendment was agreed to amid
cheers of congratulations- Sir Ifenry

A. letter of a well established produce

The ,above and similar requests are

THE FREE HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTIVES
AN URGENT APPEAL FOR HELP.
To THE EDITOR.
Dear Sir,—I take the liberty of soliciting your aid in raising funds for
the maintenance of the Free Hospital for Consumptives. On account of
our need, we find it necessary to make an urgent appeal to the public.
Permit me to state that the sum of $150,000 has already been invested
in the two Gravenhurst institutions and property just outside of Toronto on
which to erect a home for advanced or incurable case e of consumption. The
maintenance of the existing institutions necessitates an expenditure of over
$50,000 per annum, and to -day there is a debt of .$73,000, in the form of
an overdraft, for which the Bank demands settlement, and so we need
the help of all.
Seven years ago, consumption was commonly believed to be incurable,--z,-
The Toronto Globe, commenting editorially on our propositioa to, erect
a consumptive sanatorium, said : "Tito consumptive ie under sentence
of death." It was soon shown, however, by the cures effected in the
Muskoka Cottage Sanatorium, that a great field for useful work had been
opened. But the demand for increased accommodation, and the cry for help
from those who could not afford to pay, became so urgent, that tl:e trustees
decided to open a second home, which was located within a mile of the
parent institution. Since we first began our work nearly eight hundred
patients have been cared for; and the medical records show that (..f this
number a large percentage have been completely cured, and others sent home
so greatly improved that they were able to return to their regular work.
There is no other hospital for consumptives in Canada. The (kInands
are, therefore, urgent. Our board of trustees, who had already given freely
of their time and money, having faith that the people of Canada would. come
to their relief, and pressed by the urgency of the needs of the hospital,
curred this debt which must now be provided for. We have no endow -

Snakes Waste Little Time Eating.
A serpent will go for weeks, some-
times even for months, without feed-
ing. Then it may take three rabbits or
ducks, one after the other, at a single
meal and afterward .becomo torpid
while digestion proceeds. When, after
a sufficient period of fasting, it gets
disposed to eat and a rabbit happens to
bo introduced into its cage, it may
plainly be seen that the rabbit's pres-
ence is quickly noticed by it. The
snake will begin to move slowly about
U11 it has brought its snout opposite the
rabbit's muzzle. Then, in an instant, it
will seize the rabbit's head in ltd
mouth, simultaneously coiling its pow-
erful body around it and crushing it
to death at once.
The action is St:Instantaneous that it
Is Impossible for the rabbit to suffer.
Certainly it can suffer no more than
when killed by a poulterer. The snake
does not immediately uncoil its folds,
but continues for a time to hold its vic-

In Canada alone 8,000 die of this disease annually, and it has been
shown by experience and results of our work that the greater number of
these could be saved, if promptly treated. One hope—the only hope—is in
the philanthropy of our people and their knowledge of our needs, and we
appeal to you to help us to make these needs so known that all may be
impelled to help. Do not let those who cannot give large amounts fed they
cannot help ; gifts are helpful.
I am, yours faithfully,
W. J. GAGE.

P.S.---I forward a form of Subscription Blank which may be of con-
venience to your readers. Contributions, no matter how small, will be
gratefully acknowledged by the writer, or Sir Win. It. Meredith, Kt.,
Chief Justice, Toronto.
