Amellia E. Barr, the tarvellst, who
is over 87 years old and is still write
lag romances nt which the lire of
youth burns vigorously, is out with
a new book, "An Orkney Maid," In
which she tells how the Red Cross
Society orlginated, According to
Mrs. Barr, the znotive for the Red
Cross was inspired by the London
Times, in which appeared the follow-
ing:
"The commonest accessories of a
hospital are wanting; there is not
the least attention paid to decency
or cleanliness; the stench is appal-
ling; the fetid air can barely strugs

walls and roofs, anti for all 1 can
observe the men die 'without the least
effort being made to save them. They

poor fellows, their comrades, who
brought them on their backs from
the camp with the greatest tender-
ness, but who are not allowed to re-

to be tended by the sick, and the
dying by the dying, There are no
nurses, and the men are literally dy-

of the British army has forgotten
that old rags of linen are necessary
for the dressing 01 wounds."
In "An Orkney Maid" we read that

age. The steamer Kings -way has
come in with 20,000 lbs. of halibut
and 15,000 lbs. of cod after a trip
of three weeks. This is very ex-
pensive fishing. Not so many years
ago the steamers used to bring in
from 200,000 lbs. to 300,000 lbs. and
sometimes 400,000 lbs. a trip, and
were only out a. week or ten days.
The declining supply of halibut has
placed this fish in the luxury class,
and people who wish to provide
cheap substitutes for meat must turn
to other varieties of fish. There is a
large number of edible fish which are
available at low cost. We have no
right to complain that the cost of
fish is high if we limit our demand
to halibut and a few such luxury
varieties.
