TORONTO OARDKNS DISAPPEARING. Apnrtment In.u-e* Kpringlng up all over the i-ity are another evidence of increas- ing eongrfttion of population. "The city of homes" may not mueh longer deserve the title. The "hark garden." even a little one. which nn'-t Toronto houneholilers have in the p:is demanded, ii becoming harder and harder to wcure. A leading jrrhifvt the othor day declared that he would not nirain adviite even well-to- do clients to a'.ii-inpl to get garden plots In Toronto. He would simply tell them to get enough eround to build the houne on, and what little bit of space wa* left he would have covered with pavement. This would make for clannlinesn at least But a lawnlciis city of paved courtyard! Is not pleasant to contemplate. SIP. JAMKS ON A WHEEL.

Mi-KAY MAKER GOOD. That Dr. A. C. McKay, who. a little oTer a year ago. resigned the Chancellorship of Mi-Master University to enter the city's employ ne Principal of the Technical Uigh School, haa made good in pyidenccd by the strong support accorded hi name for the new position of Director of Kduca- tion in Toronto. The ex-Chancellor is. of course, one of the most prominent ediirationie.fi In the Province. Many of tho text books in mathematics in uoe In the echools bear his name, but his mental activities are by no means confined to this subject. He has always been a great student in a variety of departments; in fact so close has been his attention to books that re- cently he wag obliged to take a long trip abroad to recuperate in health. But he has. In addition, shown a capacity for administration that Is standing him In good stead In the city's (service. Born In Beamsville In 1861. he Is another Ontario boy who has made abundantly good In the city. His educational ex- perience wa derived in Port Hope, Upper Canada College and Jamioson Avenue Collegiate. Toronto. He was appointed Chancellor of HcMaster In 1905. rnd seemed to have discovered his life work there, but the groat practical problems of edu- cation In the elementary Bchooli of the city attracted him. His salary at Prin- cipal of the Technical School wos $5.000 n. year. The new position of Director of Education will doubtless carry a consid- erably higher salary. The duties will be many and heavy, because it Is not a* all certain that Toronto's system of educa- tion is us thorough and efficient ai It might be. THE JUNE CROP OF BRIDES. Any afternoon this month of June the TJnion Station is one of tho most inter- esting places In town. Incipient honey- moonere are the explanation. Rome days there are as many a a dozen bridal par- tie! on the platform at the same time, many of them leaving by the nmo train. They are always very gay and very nap- py and even the citation officials, harden- ed and gray in the service, step a little more lightly and are a little less brusque under the influence. The dingy station, with Its cumbersome trundling baiticage trucks, makes a not ineffective seMlng for the summery wedding gowns of the nttendantH. and fifteen minutci around five o'clock spent in the vicinity any af- ternoon is enjoyed by the most unroman- tic. Rice and old hoots have long since been barred, but the platforms arc al mot constantly covered with confetti. PROF. RAMSAY WRIGHT RKTIRE8.

High Court Canadian Order of Foresters, The thirty-third annual Conven- tion of the Canadian Order of For- estora was called to order by the High Chief Ranger, Mr. J. A Stew- art, of Perth, Ont., a, *ow days ago, in the City of Hamilton, Ont., over 600 delegates being present. The Annual lleports of the High Court Officers were submitted by the following: Mr. J. A. Stewart, High Chief Ranger ; Mr. Alf. P. van Sorueren, High Secretary ; Mr. Robert Elliott, High Treasurer; Dr. U. M. Stanley, Chairman of the Medical Board ; Messrs. W. L. Rob- erts and J. P. Hoag, High Audi- tors, and Mr. W. Q. Strong, Super- intendent of Organization. Other officers present besides those just referred to above, are : Mr. J. A. A. Hrodeur, Montreal, Que., High Vice-Chief Ranger; Messrs. W. M. Couper, Montreal, Que. ; N. J. Steveneon, Toronto; R. T. Kemp, Listowel, Ont. ; A. R. Golpin, London, Ont. ; F. H.

Many matters of interest to the membership generally were dealt with in these various reports, and you dream of, besides a they cover a great deal of detail, I f r i cn ds. all of which indicate marked and | Maurice West, of Toronto, says: nue from this source of $111,472.26.! A feature of general interest to the insuring public, indicating as it does the careful selection of risks, is the death rate of this Order. For the year 1911 it was 9.95 per thou- sand, and in this regard tho Order shows, for their experience of nearly thirty-three years, the very !<*tt' average death rate of 5.24 per thousand of their membership. The above facts will indicate that the Canadian Order of Foresters, during tho time of Canada's pros- perity, has been obtaining their full t share of material progress. It is gratifying to note that in this So-j ciety, which has never attempted to enlarge its eoope of operations out- side the Dominion, such splendid and encouraging results have beenj attained from the conduct of its' business, and at no time in its his- tory would it appear to have been in as strong a position as it is to- day.

When it is considered that in 1910 three more Death Claims were paid, amounting to a slightly larger gross total than that paid in 1911, such , who have the country, and state that they have found gold. There has been no rush to the country as yet, and should not be until something more official is known." Mr. Brock also stated that thirty parties from the Geological Survey had already gone a favorable showing reflects credit- out to different parts of the coun- ably on the. physical selection try for survey work. Ten more will made of business taken by tho Or- der. After paying this KUIU of over half a million for Death Claims out of the Insurance- Fund the Order was able to add the very substan- tial sum of $330,764.64 to its Insur- ance Fund on hand, being a larger addition to this Fund titan that made in any previous year. Tho total amount standing at t.he Credit of this Fund on tho 1st of June, 1912, was $:,7-IO,359.D7. In rpspoet to the Sick and Funer- al Benefit Branch, this department, a!s<>, has shown satisfactory pro- gress. There was a net increase in membership in this department for the ,\ear of 4,120, showing a total membership on the 31st of Decem- ber, 1911, enrolled in this depart- ment of 53.44H. The net amount added to the funds of this depart- ment, after paying 0,638 claims, amounting to $101,485.95, was $38,- 100.23, tho position of this fund on the Kst day of June, 1912, showing a credit balance of $251,769.36. In- terest earned by this Department on its funds in 1911 amounted to 40. 71(1. 1(1. It will be seen from this fact that interest earned is becom- ing mi important factor in this de- partment of the Order's work. The General Fund of the Order is also in a good position, and on the 1st of June, 1912, showed a credit balance on hand of $24,127.28. Tho funds of the Order are all invested in the host securities procurable, being almost entirely in Municipal and School Debentures of the Do- minion of Canada. Tho average rate of interest reali/.ed from the Investments in UUI was 4.02 per cent., a rate which, taking into con- sideration the gilt-edge nature of the in\ itstmcnls, is a very advan- tageous one, and it is interesting to note that interest earned on the In- surance Funds of the Order, for the year 1911. amounted to $149,- 7. r >").fiO, and paid ii9.9 per cent, of the Death Claims on the Order. This is also lihe largest return, in respect to interest, in the Order's experience, and the largest pen-en tage of Death Claims that it was able to pay from this source of in mm:'. The important bearing this ri'M'ime h;is on the stability of the Order may he illustritcd by the fad that ten years ago the amount reali/.ed from interest on invrst ments wn $:'., 8HU.34, showing an increase in those ten years in re\e bo sent out within the uext few weeks. EXTERMINATION OF RATS AND MICE. If it were generally known that there is no trouble to rid a house, barn or any building of rats and mice by the use of Gillett's Lye, it is doubtful if tho article could be made as fast as it would bo used for this purpose alone. The pro- cess connected with using it is very simple, the plan being to sprinkle a little of the article in and around the holes made by these pests in floors, partitions, etc. ID addition to this it is well to use- a thin piece of board about a foot square, or even smaller, and make a complete circle of the lye on the board about a quarter of an inch deep, and inside of the circle place some meat or cheeso. In endeav- oring to get at the bait the feet of the rats and mice will bo burned, and the whole colony, whether large or small, will immediately disappear from the premises. The plan is worth trying, but the good kind Gillett's Lye should be procured. Refuse the many cheap imitations and substitutes. $ IMMIGRATION FROM STATES.
