"But about the wedding," his cousin
had recommenced, being about as
hard to get away from an idea once
started as is a dog from a half -gnaw-
ed bone.
John smiled a little wearily.
"I'm no good at weddings, I tell
you, Adam, You know that I always
get out of them when I can,"
"Marrying and giving in marriage
not much in your line, eh?" sug-
gested Tim M•Laren, successfully

so to say?"
"You won't be able to get out of

minister," grumbled Adam. (Even in
this un -Presbyterian neighborhood the
Presbyterian designation stuck),
'"Let him alone," grinned Tim.
"Give him time to grow out of his na-

his own wedding before we know what
we're about. Shouldn't mind wager-
ing that he'll presently come back
with a brew wife from Glasgow, which
would sorely disappoint all the lasses
here."
In John's wide brown eyes, turned
full upon the speaker, there was no
irritation, but only a vast astonish-
ment written.

Fish Recipes.
Fish Soup (Russian),: This soup is
very hearty. It may be made of one
or several varieties of fish. Put two
pounds fresh fish, including bones and
head, in a saucepan, together with one
sliced carrot, one anion, several stalks
,, of celery cut into bits, sprigs of pars-
IcY, one bay leaf and six peppercorns,
Cover with three quarts of water and
boil gently one and one-half hours.
Strain through cheesecloth into anoth-
er saucepan, add six tablespoons rice
and boil until rice is tender, Add one-
half pound uncooked fish, skinned, bon-
ed and cut into small pieces, and sim-
mer about fifteen minutes. Have
m ready one egg yolk beaten into one
cup of cream or rich milk; add this to
i_, the soup; remove from fire without
g letting boil any more, flavor with salt,
t pepper and paprika and serve.

t lemon, a cupful fine dry dread crumbs,
s and salt and pepper to season. Pack
, in a buttered mold which has a tight -

- and cool.
Salmon Cutlets. — Chop rather
coarsely the contents of a tin of sal-
e mon, and mix in an equal bulk of
t bread crumbs, seasoning the lot ac-
_ cording to taste. Then, with the aid
of beaten eggs, form a fairly stiff
paste, which can be made into cutlets,
and each coated with egg or milk and
t browned bread crumbs. Heat in a
n frying pan with dripping, This pro-
cess will be found an economical one,
as the fish lasts longer than if merely

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS
FOR MAIMED EN
TWO TYPES OF ARMS, ACCORD-„
1NG TO VOCATION OF SOLDITR.
Government Artificial Limbs FIletory
and Ovthopwdic Workshop for
Malting Splints.
The soldier who has lost 'tn limb is
met at the station on his arrival in
Tc'ronto—and all who have lost limbs
are sent to Toronto, for there, close to
the Convalescent Home, is the only
Government artificial Binh factory in
Canada—and then examined by a
board of three officers. Then he is
transferred to the Orthopoedie Hos-
pital under the charge of Dr. Gable,
Then his stump is looked into, and if
it is in a condition for fitting he goes
to the limb factory and gets fitted,
But if not in such condition lie is pro-
vided with a "shrinker" and then giv-
en a pass (coupled with transporta-
tion) in order that he may go to his
home until such time as he id able to
Ile fitted,
Then, when he is able to Jae fitted
he goes back to the Convaigscen
Home and is fitted with his litnlir '_
Some men have to be operated on
first. This is dole at the General
Hospital, as there are no facilities
for operating ab the Convalescent
Home, The new Orthopoedic Hos-
pital at. North Toronto will have such
facilities, as well as an artificial limb
factory and an orthopoedie workshop
for making splints, etc.
A large number of Hien come hack
with immovable joints and stiff limbs,
etc. Some of these are treated electri-
cally. Some go through a belting pro-
cess. Nerve cases are treated with
hot ail, with hot baths of various
kinds, and with electric treatment.
Straight massages are given by V. A.
D. workers, These are of great effi-
cacy in muscle eases. Many eases are
both nervend muscle e c saes.
Best Arms and Legs Made.
The equipment of the Convalescent
Home is fine and the baths ore splen-
did. The arms and the legs supplied
by the limb factory, which is practi-
cally in one with the Convalescent
Home, are very satisfactory, the legs
being the hest artificial onfs on the
continent. The legs seem to give the
men more satisfaction than do the
arms, for the reason that a man us-
ually expects more from en arm.
The type of leg that is being used is
wooden throughout with an ankle
joint, anti also a knee joint fP the am-
putation is above the knee, as 10 the
case with a relatively large number.
The leg is fitted in the rough, but is
not finished until it has been worn
about a week or a fortnight to enable
the man to become accustomed to it,
and to enable any alterations found
necessary to be matte. When a mal
leaves with his new leg he is fitted
with accessories to last him two years,
The leg itself, which is worth $100,
and is the best on the market, will last
about ten years. An artificial arm,
which does not get so much use 110 a
leg, will last about twenty years.
A man without a leg is infinitely,
better oft: than a man without an
arm so far as his capacity for future
manual work is concerned. With re-
gard to the type of arm required,
the view is taken that in cases of
amputation above the elbow, only a
small amount ofgood will n
b(, got
from an arm, but that, i11 such cases,
Carne's arm, which. Inas been greatly
boosted in England, is a little more
suitable because it has a wrist move-
ment, as well as a finger movement,
and, of couree, an elbow movement.
With the Carne's 0001, a man can do
a lot of fancy things, but it is not
(it is said) as much palatial] use
for a mar engaged in labor' as the
arm with amputation below the el-
bow, and is particularly well suited
for 1000 in general labor, The Dor-
ranee hook appliance has a haul
which fits over the hook, and if a
man wants to go out he puts on the
hand.
Vocational Training.
There is another Military Convales-
cent Home on Spadina Avenue, but
the men go,from there to the one on
College Street to get their artificial
limbs. As regards the artificial arm
question, it should perhaps be said
that the type of arm recominencltd is
dependent a good deal on what the vo-
cation of the man by whom it is nee(, -
ed is to he, If he is to be a clerk or
an office man, a Carne's arm is de-
cided 011, If he is to be a merhanie or
o manual worker, not a, Carne's aria
but one which will be of more practi-
cal use toe 11ed ,
The men apprechnisdecidiate to onthe fn11 the
great value of the vocational train-
ing which Inas been brought within
their reach. The majority of them --
probably
probably about 00 per cont.—were
manual • workers in the days before
the war. In connection with 111e
classes in vocational training, there
is a great ran on bookkeeping and
Clerking, while the courses in 111e-

popular,
