A Voluntary Workers Corps, made up of young Toronto women who wish to do their bit in aiding the recovery of the boys who have been disabled in service overseas, has been formed by Dr. E, A. Bott, head of the Pune-, tional re-education work being carried on by the Military Hospitals' Commis -1 sion at Hart House, Toronto, These young women will be 'taught' the use of special corrective machines,I and when they have been trained, will be given the charge of patients who' must be encouraged to keep at the' apparatus work as part of their tree - - ment, There are numerous machines at Hart House, scientific wonder -workers in performance, but so simple in ap- pearance as to deceive the man who associates scientific apparatus with finely polished steel and, delicate springs. Slow But Sure. Men who have been discharged by the surgeons are sent here to limber up stiffened joints, to restore muscles and put their limbs back into work- ing shape when surgery has done all that it .can to restore them. Long practice at these machines is required and the patient's interest is apt to lag and his courage fail before recovery is complete unless someone works with him. It is to do this sort of work than the voluntary workers have been enlisted. Cheerfulness All Important. The therapeutic yahoo of a cheerful spirit is recognized in every hospital, but nowhere is •it made to count more than in the curative workshop at Hart House where a man's own endeavors are vitally important to his recovery. There are at present over sixty men "receiving treatment at the insti- tution. The personnel of the enroll- ment is constantly changing, of course, as cured cases are dismissed and new men come for treatment. The work is largely individual in the apparatus room, but in the gym- nasium where the cases of flat foot, etc., are treated, there are curative games, and class work for men with afflictions in common.

Queen Victoria was very fond of the Empress, and very recent- ly the King and Princess Mary paid her an intimate little visit. COUNTERFEITS IN NATURE. Queer Imitations Found in Plants and Animals. , The seed pods of the common snap- dragon, according to Doctor Rashford Dean, bear a most curious resemb- lance to mummied human heads in miniature. As they arrange themselves on the stalks of the plant they look like the "poles of skulls" which in countries where head-hunting is a popular field sport are set up in front of houses as trophy memorials, Not only is the color of the seed pods like thatpf mummied heads, but the faces are imitated, oven (to the imaginative eye) including such de- tails as dried portions of the scalp, eyelids and lips. Another odd imitation in nature is exhibited by the sphenoid bone at the base of a rabbit's skull. It is shaped exactly like the head of a fox—the rabbit's own arch enemy. Fox hunt- ers in England commonly have this little bone mounted on a scarfpin as an emblem of their favarite sport. Squash seeds, when dried (says Doc- tor Bean), contract in such a way as to present odd-looking surface mark- ings that resemble oriental. characters. Absurd though it may seam, many learned orientalists have made earnest endeavors to read them in the hope that they might reveal some hidden secret of nature. AGELESS MIND. Call him not old, whose visionary brain Holds o'er the past its undivided reign, For him in vain the envious seasons roll, Who bears eternal Summer in his soul; If yet the minstrel's song, the poet's lay, Spring with her birds, or children with their play, Or maiden's smile, or heavenly dream of art, Stir the few life -drops creeping round his heart, Turn to the record when his years are told, Count his gray hairs—they cannot make him old! —0. Wendell Holmes. Music Asa Qaulification, A musical friend is a friend indeed. One sofrequently hears it said that some young woman has a host of friends because of her music or that a certain young man is tremendously popular on account of his ability to play the piano well. It is obvious that music helps you Make friends. It is also true that you appreciate having friends who are musical, Not long since, a mother who had always been careful about her chil- dren's choice of companions, was plan- ning in a judicious way to encourage her son in becoming intimate with some other young folks because they were musical. Going farther and into a more serious' realm, when a young man reaches the stage when he feels he can assume the responsibili- ties of taking unto himself a wife, he would do well not to be forgetful of the fact that Arcady is tweeter if the woman of his choice has had the ad- vantages of at least some musical education, And the other way around, when a young woman is about to say "Yes" to the man of her choice, that choice Will Mean all ho more to their enjoynient of life if ho is musical, Young people, who have musical. parents will, in their years of mature judgment, never cease to thank Provi- dence for that fact, An employer of a fairly large office staff is noted for. asking evory male applicant fel' a position two questions—one is a linen•• cial one, the other—are you fond of music? One Lesson a Week Habit. It is no exaggeration to say that most of the failures in musical edu- cation aro traceable to two causes: Incompetent instructors and the per- nicious Canadian habit of one lesson a week. As a rule the pupil taking one le550p a week makes the same advancement in a year as the one taking two lessons will make in a term, and in the course of four years it is discouraging to find that he has accomplished only what Wright have been done, in one. When lesson days come but once a week, say on Thursday, pupils tut too apt to neglect practising mobil the following Tuesday, but when there are two lessons to got, there is no time to play pookey, Arid the pupil en• joys the two lessons, after getting usecl to it, because there is more fre- quent change' and the interest is kepb up. Imagine what slow progress a school boy or girl would snake in arithmetic or reading who attended school but once a week! There is every reason, toe a platter of economy of both time and money (and I might add, of energy and pa- tience on the part of both teacher and pupil), to banish from this soil the baneful, deadly, ono lesson a week, and thus, ho a largo measure givo Canadian pupils an equal opportunity with those in Europe. "The adven- tages of European studei" consists chiefly in thug :frequency of inspira- tion, as exhibited and radiated to the pupil by the gonias of the teacher, GAVE LIFE FOR TEN OTHERS. Victoria Cross Awarded to Soldier Who Nursed Exploding Bomb. .A thrilling story of self-sacrifice is recorded in the London Gazette an- nouncement' of the award of the Al- bert Medal of the First Class to Lance -Corp, Charles Henry Ander- son, late of the 114th Battalion of the London Regiment, who lost his life in France in November last. The official narrative is as follows: On Nov. 28, 1916, Lance -Corp. An- derson was in a hut in France with eleven other men, when, accidentally, the safety pin Was withdrawn from a bomb. In the semi -darkness he shout- ed a warning to the men, rushed to the door, and endeavored to open it so as to throw the bomb into a field. Failing to do this, when he judged that the five seconds during which the fuse was tinted to burn had elapsed, he held the bomb as close to his body as possible with both hands in order to screen the other men in the hut. Anderson' himself and 'one other man were mortally wounded by the explosion, and, five men were injured. The remaining five escaped unhurt. Anderson sacrificed his life 'to save his comrades AMERICAN OBSERVER TELLS OF CONDITIONS. Workman Still Goes to' Iris Bench With a Full Dinner Pail But e Children' Are' Suffering. Leather is so expensive in Germany that only the upper class burger will • l real eath u a shoes this bio to have be a winter and starch is twenty marks a pound. But in spite of all this no German will go to work with an empty dinner pail. The German Food Commission is the most uncanny thing in all the world. Like magic it produces a sub- stitute for any article that is scarce, says an American newspaper woman who returned from Germany three months ago. The commission has it figured so that the nourishment shall be divided proportionately each week, and it also has figured out just what each person shall receive, for every- body does not receive the same amount of food. For instance, a man or wo- man that does manual labor gets more bread than a man or woman the -0 works in an office, Persons more than sixty years get more cereals, and the' ill get more butter and eggs. These' persons get what they call "Zusats" cards, besides their regular cards. Every one in Germany is getting thin, but still the German dieting sys- tem proves that much wornout state- ment that "we eat too much," for nine out of every ten Germans have never been so well in their lives as they have been since the cards have been intro- duced, You feel spry, active and energetic and jhe annoyance rs ment- al rather than physical, for one is constantly thinking of things to eat. Growing Children Are Suffering. The ones that are really hurt by the blockade are the growing children and the thing that they lack and long for is sweets. Before the war one never realized what an important role candy played in the game of life. The Food Commission recognizes this and very often chocolate and puddings are pro- vided for on the cards of children un- der sixteen years of age. While the food prices have been soaring ail over the world the prices in Germany are almost down to nor- mal level, for everything that you buy on the cards is extremely cheap and everything that'ia any good is sold on the cards. Everything that is sold "ohne Karts," or without a card, is either no good or so expensive that the ordinary person cannot afford to buy. The food situation is not the same all over Germany. In Berlin, Dres- den, Hamburg and Leipzig they have loos than in othee pieces. Bavaria, the Rhino country and East Prussia are far better off, and in some of the s;Wall villages they .do not even have a bread card. The police see that every one gets. his share of food. If a woman holds a servant girl's rations from her the girl can report it to the epoliee, and the woman is fined. In a boarding house when the potatoes are passed around the.landlady tells you whether you can take two or three potatoes, or one big potato and one small one. The food conditione are not alwayrt comfortable, but the food 'commission believes it d off tlih s divided so has the h 1 they g w y ill last for ears. MILLIONS STILL BURNING UP. Total Losses From Preventable Fires Is Appalling. Even the fire losses for the ' first eight months of 1917 in Canada and the United States tell 'a story of the, war, since the total of 8180,800,000, as compared with $111,600,000 in 1915, represents the losses in oil and muni- tion works, here and in the United States, not necessarily of an 000 - dental character, At the same time the total figures aro appalling and the amount in round figures repre- sents a property waste beyond all reason. It is almost criminal for Au- gust, 1917, to show losses of $21,- 750,000, as compared with 810,760,000 for the same month 1916, since, as all know, oven allowing for war plots, moat of these losses are clue to pre- ventable causes. We pay this enorm- ous amount every year as a tribute to the ,national slouchiness in building construction and to a gross careless- ness in the handling_ of properties, • which is one of our besetting sins, in which we can take no pride, Now that national slouchiness is being uni- versally condemned, •it is about tiros that all forces joined together to re- move the stigma of this criminal care- lessness, which burns up its millions every year, raises insurance risks and rates and forces on all Berta of sec- ondary losses without rhyme or rea- son.
