The Gore public baths are rapidly being constructed, but, of course, until the remainder of the £2OO required for the installation of a heating apparatus is subscribed the heating plant will not be constructed. Of this £2OO only some £25 remains to b© collected, and the Taylor-Carrington Comedy Company has generously oome forward with an offer to give half the proceeds of a benefit performance to the baths funds. A committee of enthusiastic gentlemen has taken the matter in hand, and it is hoped that as a result of the performance, which will be given shortly, the amount required will be very substantially reduced. Railways in Holland are so carefully managed that the accidental deaths on them average only one a year for the entire country. i Tn many employments requiring dexterity and quickness with the hands women are far more valuable than men. For instance, where tho folding of larg© quantities of books or magazines is required one woman can do as much tm two men.
