"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 shutting one cye. '"How'11 that be when giving in marriage has become a part of your professional business, so to say?" "You won't be able to get out of wedding -feasts when once.. you're the 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- tural shyness. He'll be asking us to 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.

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.

The long and rather lanky figure clothed in seeds black, the head of not too closely - cropped red hair bent so earnestly over the book in his hand—taken in conjunction with the car-line—would, even to less observant eyes than those of the fair-haired damsel, have pro- claimed the college -bound student.

One of the most noticed of these is probably our m thods of preparing and cooking c tain kinds of food. Here are the rules for the coo ing of vegetables: Old vegetables those that are wilted should be soa ed at least half an hour in clear, co water •before cooking. Particular does this apply just now to old pot toes. Under no circumstances a salt to the water f1. cooking these, it draws out the juices, hardens fibre, and destroys the flavor, All vegetables should be put ov the fire to cook in rapidly-boili water, and in uncovered vessels.

They a then ready to be cooked according any recipe. This preparation is nece sary in order to get full food valu and to make them more digestible an palatable. It is important to remem ber this at the present time, as thes foods are amongst our best meat sub stitutes. Vegetables containing volatile fla voring, onion, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, should be boi ed in salted water in an uncovere vessel, or they will emit a very u pleasant odor. The volatile matte contained in all these vegetables i rich in hydrogen- and sulphur, both o which are valuable for the hum system; so when this is allowed to es cape by over -cooking or careless cook there is great food waste. A safe rule to remember is: Top ground, succulent, or green vegetable should be cooked in salted boiling wa granulated, powdered and cube, are ter.

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- chanicai engineering are also very popular, It should he mentioned that the y, M.
