It was found that in a small institu- ton, conducted on limited scale, in ebriates could not be classified sufti- ciently, and hence could not be treated properly, and this conclusion the l.. C. C., out of it's experience, drove home so persistently upon the national govern ment that 1t finally forced that slow moving body to action.
 The really herculean work this Coun- Gil is doing in pulling down slum dwell ings and providing abodes in which the Wage-e -earner can dwell with some chance for decency and comfort will have to be treated in a separate letter. Suffice it to say at this time that when all its present schemes shall have reached the happy fruition which many of them have it will have provided for the rehousing of not less than 92,000 persons at an outlay of not less than 20 millions dollars

struction work in Upper Egypt had the mis-
fortune lose some native workmen through
the accidental explosion OF several cases of
dynamite. Full of fears of wigging from
headquarters. he teIesraphed TO the SirGar:
Regret 10 report killing of ten laborers by
dynamite accident" Then he set himself to
await she reproof OF his stern superior In a
few hours came this iaconie dispatch: "Do you
need any more Gyaamite?'
While engaged in building a bridge for TIE
advance upon Pretoria an engineer officer. ap-
prehensive of danger to his wOrkmeB, communi-
Gated his fears 70 Lord Kitchener, explaining
that different mode OF construction would be
much safer than the one employed, which might,
indeed. cost the lives of twenty thirty men.
Kitchener listened patiently and then asked:
How much longer would ii take TO do the work
by this safer method?" Not more than
hour longer, sir" Very we'll; don't change the
