Lien Re-eetablisliment,
To this end the Rech branch of
the depattnient WaS organized to keep
constantly In touch with the progrees
a other countries, and als0 10 ex-
perimeat from time to time with a
'View to the improvement and the
eecuring- of the Isest appliances upon
the market for the Canadian disabled.
An important conference was re.
cently held ia New York City to dis-
cues the best means and methods of
Overeoming the handicap of war as
represented by our maimed and
wounded heroes,
Itepresentativce from the United
• States, France, Belgium, Italy, Great
Britain and Canada attended thie con-
ference, and the cOnsensUS of opinion
Was that appliances in the form of
hooks had up to tbis tine, proved
the most beneficial " and practicable
substitutes for thohuman hand.
The most practical of these, the
"Canada arm," has been used by a
great number of returned soldiers,
and has been pronounced by ortho-
paedic experts as the most useful of
any so far invented. • This arm has
been specially designed for amputa-
tion cases above the elbow, and the
main feature is a spediel elbow joint
whieh can be positively locked in
various positions cOntrolled by a shrug
of the shoulders. It combines in one
appliance the working arm and the
dress arm which 'removes . from the
wearer the old 'trouble of changing
the limb to meet various; needs. The
metal parts of the working arm have
been made especially strong. It is
, provided with a snap hook having
several positions, and with, its various
adjustments a man can perform many
duties. Turned to one angle, it Is
possible for the wearer to wield a
heavy hemmer, the grasp of the tool
being such that the heaviest swinging -
blow Will not dislodge the hold. efen
wearing this type of hand hook have
been able to saw woodadrive in nails
and turri machinery, as well as man-
age all kinds of lifting. Au excellent
feature of the grip is that, although
it is so vicelike for the purpose of
handling tools, when necessary, in
the case of an accident, it is equally
easy for the wearer to loosen the
tension.
At the New York conference types
of artificial arets which embodied
movable fingers, methodically oper-
ated, were giventhorough considera-
tion by the ortropaedists present, who
finally came to the conclusion that,
owing to the complicated mechenisin
necessary, such types 'Of hands evould
not have a lasting practical use.
From the commencement of this
work .for the wounded the Canadian
orthopaedic" consultante have beeu
wide awake to every development in
their line of' work that has taken place
In the varioue allied; •countries, always
keeping in view first and foremost the
most practical devices, the cost being
secondary„consideration, and always
bearing in mind that the returned
soldier is entitled to the best that is
obtainable.
The Canadian. Government has ar-
ranged to keep in repair and to renew
alt artifieTal limbo and other ortho-
paedic apellances furnished to a
disabled soldier for the remainder of
his natural life. in order to do this
with a maximum of convenience to
the men themselves, standardization
of appliances is essential, so that in
'whatever part of the country a dis-
abled man may find himself it will
only be 'necessary for hint to apply
to the nearest orthopaedic depot for
renewal or repair.
For this purpose the Orthopaedic
and Surgical Appliances Branch has
depots scattered throughout Canada,
where disabled men can receive im.
mediate attention.

The King and queen recently re-
ceived at Windsor Castle the Austra-
lian, New Zealand and South Africau
press delegates now on a vent to Great
Britain. His Majesty spoke warmly of
the gallantry of the Dominiowe troop,
and mtehanged recollettione of his
empire tour of *1901. Whoa Mr. Pirani
of New Zealand mentioned the name
of Maggie Papakura, the Maori guide
who condueted the King around the
hot spriege wonderland of Rotorua,
the Xing recalled her at once, and was
interested to learn that she h now in

found that Princess Mary knew all

"It nsay have broken your arm,"

"Broken my arm! Great goodness! I

The horse just touched me and cut the

I've time. Ali. here's Mrs. WestaWae.
Good afternoon,"
As jaok hurried out of the cottage
he mentally resolved that he would
• take his departure from Withycombe
at once -well, the day after to -mor-
row. He would not remsen to suf-
fer the -the annonnee he had suffer -
that afternoon. Be would leave the
dangerous vicinity of Bromley forever,
and go back to the safety of Parraluna
and Silver Ridge.
In the road to tbe beaoh a handsome
mail -phaeton and pair were standing,
and as Jack glanced at it mechanical-
ly the groom at the horses' heads hail-
ed aim with:
"D.you mind taking this paper down
to the gentleman in the jetty there?"
Jack pulled up, and, hesitating, look-
ed toward the Jetty. A group of men
was standing on it, surrounding tWo
gentlemen. One looked like a profes-
sional man, agent or lawyerthe oth-
er was a young man -he seemed to be
tittle more than a boy -dressed in a
riding -salt. He was seated on one of
the bulkheads, his hands in nis pock-
ets, a cigarette ia his mouth.
"Can't you send" some one else? I'm
busy," said Jack. . •
The groom looked round. "There
ain't a soul to be seem I've been
waiting for some one to pass, and you
are the first. Mr, Parsons has left
the plan behind him, and he and his
lordship will be wanting it, I expect,"
"Who are Mr. Parsons and his lord-
ship, and what are they doing here?"
Raked Jack.
The groom looked.rather surprised at
the aellestion and its tone. How was
he to know that tlae questioner was
Sir Wilfred Carton, the son of the ma.n
who had owned the spa on which
they stood?
"Who Is his lordship?" he said, with
a smile. "Well, you must be a
etranger, not to know Lord Stanton!"
Jack knew his lordship by name, at
eny rate. The Stanton land ran al•
Most up to the Bramley es-
tates. , When Jack had left
home, the old earl had ruled at Stan-
ton Towers; evidehtly he had died, aad
this youngster must be his' ttephew;
there had been no son.
"His lordship and Mr. Paison are
looking at the jetty. His lordship

Jack looked around again; there was
no one in sight to whom he could
relegate the job, and:
"Very wel1,'4 he said reluctantly.
"Thankee," said the groom. "I'm
sorry to tremble ee."
Jack strode down the beach, and,
mounting the rough, sea -worn steps
to the jetty, gave the plan to the pro-
fessional -looking man, with a curt:
"The groom asked me to give you
this."
"Eh? Oh, yes; the plan! Dear me!
we forget it! Thank you," said Mr.
Parsotts.
He tarried it to the young man on
the bulkhead, and opened it out.
"Ours would be a great improve-
raent on this, Lord Stanton," he said.
"The question is, sthe best place to
build it. I'm afraid we cannot de-
cide that till we have seen the coast."
"Nothing easier," said his young
lordship briskly. "We'll take a boat
and row routed to Pethwick."
itle spoke til a boyish fashion, and
with a deciveness s that uttracted
Jack's attention and faintly pleased
him, as he stood leaning against one
of the posts, on which the fisher-
men dried their nets, and absently
Revisited the result.
"Qtrite so," assented Mr. Parsons, as
no doubt he would have assented to
a less reasonable proposition of his
goung Med noble employer. He looked
round, and his eyes rested on Jack,
"Get your boat, my man, will you?"
he mid blandly.
Jack left very mach inclined to re-
fuse; but the lad dropped from the
bulkhead and said:
"Yes! Where is it? I'll help you
launch her." And Jack, unable to re-
sist the frank, free -old -easy offer,
led the way to the boat.
"We are going to build a jetty, Make
a harbor at Pethwick," said Lord
Stanton. "Going to try and cut out

as he walked beside Jack. "My men,

they neared Pethatick.

-"You'd better ask my sister," said
Mollie demurely, and with her best
company manner.
He glanced at Clytie and said as
shrewdly: •
"I will. She looks as it she'd .do
anything you wanted, Miss Mollie."
"Then she will probably say no,'"
said Mollie. "By the way, my name is
Mary Ainsleigh De Gourcy Bramley."
"Thank you," he said meekly. "My
name is Percy Algernon St. John
Devereux Stanton. There is the place
I think of building the quay and jetty,
Miss Mary Ainsleigh De Conroy Brom-
ley." • „
"Indeed," responded Mollie blandly,
"Will it take long to build, Lord Percy
Algernon St. John Devereux Stanton?"
"I hope not," he said. "I hope it
won't take much longer than to pro-
nounce your name. Could we come to
a mutual arrangement about them?
How would It be if I called you Miss
Mollie, and you called me just plain
Lord Stanton?"
" 'He murmured call me William,
plain William,' and she called him
plain William ever afterward," said
Mollie.
He laughed. 'that's old, if you
like," he retorted. "I say let's land
here!"
Mollie and he landed, but Clytie
said she would stay where she was;
and as Lord Stanton appeared to have
forgotten the proposed plan, Jack also
remained, keeping the boat in smooth.
water. Clytie watched the two Young-
erones absently,and yet with a faint
smile of amusement, and they strolled
up and down -the ladevidently ex-
plaining his plan to Mollie, who listen-
ed, with an expression of benign toter -
spice, as if she were listening to an
enthusiastic schoolboy; and Jack,
while Clytie's eyes were averted, gaz-
ed at her.
Presently the sun grew warm, and
she stretched oat her hand for her
gnashed°. He got it and opened it for
tier; and, as if she had suddenly be-
cOme aware of hie presence, she said:
"We were glad to hear that Mrs.
Westaway's little girl was not- hurt
yesterday. It was a narrow escapefor
her; and but for you I am afraid she
would have been injured. Were you
hurt?"
(To Be Continued).
It seemed to Jack as if tha fates
were, with their usual irony,' streteh-
ing out a hand to detain lam - in
Withycombe, and to balk- that resolu-
tion of his; and, if the trath must
be told, he was not so sorry fp r their

you. We'll go around to Pethwick'and
make some rough plans."
"I'm sorry, tuy lord," said' Jack,
"but I'm engaged."
"Why, how's that?" asked' Lord
Stanton. "I thought you'd booked
yourself to me?"
"Not definitely," said Jack, "Be-
sides, this is a previous engageheent."
As he spoke, Clytie and Mollie ap-
proached them.
"By Jove, here are two ladies," said
his lordship, in an undertone. "What
pretty girls -especially the little one.
Oh, 1 see! They're the party you are
going to take out. Who are they

"The Miss Bramleys," replied Jack,
shortly.
"The Bramleys of the Hall? /Why,

That useful friend of the house -1

habit of stiffening after a bath unless
it is given with great care. Wash a
chamois in soft water to which has
been added a little borax and enough
soap to form a lather. Shake up and
down in the water and rub very
gently. Rinse in cold water, shake
in the air to get out as much of it as
possible, pull it out well and lay it
flat until party dry. Now pull it
through the hands several times and.
again spread out flat for further dry-

Coal.
Though wood and turf formed thel
kniel of our early ancestore,
gations have proved that the Britons.1
even prior to the Roman occupation,
made use of coal. But as It was pos-
sible to utilize only such coal as lay
at or near the surface, the practice
did not make headway for many cen-
turies,

a sauce, either drawn butter or a

The fleeh of the shark is said to
resemble that of the stergeon--the
fish that "goes to the Caesar's dish,"
but its cannibalistic reputation, firm-
ly fixed in the popular mind, is against
It. Man's, dread of the gastronomic-
ally untried is only equalled by his
cutiosity, which after all gets the
better of his fears. Truly, he was a
brave man who first swallowed a raw

Lord Leverhulme, the new proprie.
tor of the Island of Lewis, in the
course of an interview to the Pres",
has given very interesting particulars
as to his plans for making it a happy
spot in. the Hebrides. Lewis, he TO -
marked at the outset, had a popula-
tion of 32,000 at the last census.
"The scenery of the island is meg-
nificat, its climate almost Paradial-
cal," he said. "When I was there
recently the temperature was 10 deg,
higher than in London. Flowers and
plants will grow In the open there
which you would have to travel as
far south as the Isle of Wight to see
produced under like eonditions."
"The people," he added, "are most-
ly crofters, Earning a livelihood in-
volves the hardest sustained, labor
on the part of the crofter, his wife,
and his children. A woman will Ire -
fluently have to make two journeys
to the peat beds per day; this means
aixteen miles, with a very heavy bur-
den over eight of them. For fishing
they have only the open boat and the
most primitive ot tackle. The total

people are given to education'. There
are 900 students receiving higher
education at the Nicholson Institute,
Stornoway. They pass thence in re-
markable numbers to the universi-

"New houses are to be built, well
equipped, with a garden in each _case
large enough to be useful as an al-
lotm,ent.
"The fishing grounds off Lewis are
amongst the finest in the world.
Canning factories must be ready.
The first is now in course of erection
at Stornoway, and will be followed
by others. The question of transit
is not difficult. Then we are to

There is real demand for Lewis and
Harris tweeds.
"Add to an this," Lord Lever-
hulme said, "the possibilities of the
island as a centre for tourists, and
you will see how the employinent
problem is on the way to being
solved. For tourists the island is an
