THE NEW PUBLIC HOSPITAL-

The very general interest in the

new P. E. Island Hospital and the liberal donations and subscriptions that have enabled the contract to be

` let, have perhaps ° led to the conclu-

sion in some minds that there is no-

mattars take their course and pay the isubscriptions as they are called for during the progress of construction

_` It ought to be generally made known " that the amount of the subscriptions

` list for the erection of the Hospital is barely suilicient to meet the cost of the contract already given.

To place in the new building a

modern and thoroughly complete heating and ventilating plant, such as will bc absolutely necessary in the P.E.I. hospital,- together with the requisite plumbing and electric light fittings, will entail an additional ex- penditure of about '$4,000. ' This amount is therefore required' in ad- dition to what is already subscribed. It will readily be seen that to com- plete the Hospital ready for occupa- tion by patients the heating, plumb- ing and lighting are as necessary as the walls of the building itself. And the time is approaching when provi- rsion must be made for these require- ments so that all will see the proprie- ty of contributing to the Hospital funds in any way in their power and to the best of their ability. There

plete the hospital as above stated apart from the furnishing.

West, in the event of his appointment as Lieutenant Governor. mi ht be not

less than has hitherto been paid the incumbents of that high position. It appears that we have stated the mat- ter rather too broadly. Mr. West would indeed be quite willing to ac- cept a. somewhat reduced stipend on condition that a. like reduction were made generally in official .salaries

feels that it _would be incompatible with his duty to his province to per- mit a reduction in Prince Edward Is- land alone. Besides, as a representa-

da. it seems not im robable that t

_ y P be it hospitality of Government House

might be taxed to a much greater ex- tent than ever before. This is a con- sideration that might fairly be taken into account.

Three pretty peasant girls,

On a knoll in a Bowery glade.

Stitching the pencilled web, ' Sang the song of their trade.

Quickly the needle ply,

Nimbly draw the thread,

Raisethe Bower high

On the soft muslin bed.

Mother talks ofthe wheel

And its deep humming sound, '

And the laugh ofthe merry spinsters

The cottage walls around.

And Auntie tells how a sweetheart

Sat by each spinner’s side,

By the bright Bro and clean hearth,

When came the eventide.

And oh I it was merry,my sisters,then,

In the days et the spinning-wheel;

But pleasanter far it is for.us,

Who ply the thread and steel. '

A queen’s task is ours,

And queen’s all are we,

Sitting in our thrones

Beneath the hawthorn tree.

Ply the needle quickly. A revenue is ours;

Our iniposts are on ladies’ necks,

Our taxes are our Bowers.

Then each pale Bower plant On the sott robe’s sides. To adorn the forms of beauty.

Sweet babies and sweet brides.
