For instance, Miss Wild Rose hada sweetly pretty name till she wedded a handsome young fellow named Bull. Then she saw it. in conclusion it seems hardly prob- able that the names of Thinn and Freshwater for the partners in a dairy business could have been pur- posely chosen for trade purposes. "Two hundred more wounded are coining," said an attendant, as the officer led the way into the first halide ing: the receiving va rd. "Hese they are," said the officer, pointing to 200 Targe glass photogra- phic plates ranged and numbered in a ease, The photographs of the 200 wound- ed had been sent ahead, the plates showing with precision the exact wound .and its process of healing, some of them being X-ray plates. "See this one," said the officer, :folding up a large glass plate show- ing the side profile of a wounded sol- dier, with n gaping bullet hole back sf the ear, and around the hole little sutures or cracks of the skull. "It is not a fractured skull—that would be hopeless," said the officer. 'No, that roan can be made over." But this receiving ward was merely file first stage in a sort of ascending scale, which improved the wounded van's condition at each stage until he was finally landed in the cchool where he was made over into a condition more useful to himself and society than he was before. It was to this school that chief interest was directed. A Hive of Workshops. This enormous school at St. Mau- rice is a hive of workshops of all kinds—shoemaking shops, machine chops, auto repair shops, blacksmith shops with blazing forges, and clothes -making shops, and the work- men were the wounded soldiers from the firing line, minus an arm, leg or eye, on which they had before depend- ed, but now launched on a new line which did not need that arm, leg or eye.. As a whole, it was as efficient a body of workmen as one would find in any well -regulated factory. The men had smiling faces. ' Those work- ing in groups were chatting and laughing. Attention was also given to the fine arts and the professions, and here also were schools for sculpture and --,---painting and architecture, so that leg- less or armless or eyeless soldiers who had a taste for . the esthetic could be led into some new line which did not require the use of the lost member. One pale -faced young soldier, his left arm gone, near the elbow, was deli- cately modelling a Venus de Milo with his remaining hand. The soldier; architects were making designs, with blueprints, of girders, arches and columns, and calculating the strength of walls and roofs. All of these men had something missing, but their work was so chosen as to make absolutely negligible the lost member, and to make what remained of their members entirely efficient for this particular work. Near the sol- dier architects were ranged two long lines of soldier typewriters, men who had lost a foot or some other mem- ber, but whose hands - had now been taught a skill they had not known,. before ' in rapid • typewriting. In the Shoe Shop. the men, were turning out a good grade of shoes, selling for 23 francs (about $4.60) ; also wallets and purses of all kinds, leather watch chains and belts. A large glass case exhibited the diversity of their product: It was the same in the machine shop, the blacksmith shop and all the other branches of this hive of industry. "One soldier, with both : hands gone," said the officer, "is making 18 a e francs a day as a carpenter." He ,explained that special tools had been made for, this handless carpenter, fitting on to the steel, hooks on his. arm stumps. The planes, for in- stance, automatically` permitted the; carpenter to do his work with preci sion, a bell ringing if pressure was, too great to the right, another bell if. A gruesome story of the suffering and death of horses being sent to France for army work is told by J. V. Povall, a horse trainer and doc- tor. He has just returned to New York after taking 1,026 Western. horses to France. "As a lover of horses I hate to pia tore the horrors of that trip," he de- clared. "I was supposed to be doctor for all the horses. There was work for a dozen doctors. The horses' were from ranches all over the United States. Some of them were unbrand- ed and unbroken. The domesticated horses were in terror of the. wild horses. Many of the domesticated horses died of fright, Suppose you had to ride for two weeks between two. savages. "The horses were crowded into nar- row stalls. For the entire two weeks' sea voyage they had to stand up,. They could move but a few inches. Their stalls were not cleaned during the voyage. The men hired to feed them were picked up along the New York waterfornt. They did not understand horses. The Olen were paid $15 for the round trip. They did as little work as possible. "I don't blame the Olen for shirking. They were treated worse than the horses. Fon breakfast they had a black fluid, supposed to be coffee, without milk or sugar. There were 36 men—not enough for the work. Their food was bad and their beds were worse. They were a tough crew and were on the verge of mutiny most of the time. "When we reached France, the cap- tain of the ship ordered the men to unload the horses. They refused. It was not in their contract, they said. He threatened to put them in a French prison. They still refused. "They,,did not have to do the work. Unloading horses from a ship, is a job for an expert. The Frenchmen who did the unloading were not experts. Several horses fell from the sling that lifted them from the hold to the' deck and their ribs and backs were broken. "When we reached the Gulf Stream —the cemetery •of horses -conditions on board the ship were as bad es those on a slave ship in the old days. The horses, sick, wounded and driven crazy by. fear as the ship pitched about, shrieked and kicked and bit each other. Many of them died. A school of sharks was soon following the boat. It did not go hungry. "These horses weren't low-grade stock, by any means. They were for cavalry and artillery ditty in the' French army. They were handsome animals, but the voyage ruined many of those it did not kill. - Her Wish Granted. They were dining off fowl in a res- taurant. "You see," he explained, as he showed her the wishbone, "you take hold here. Then we must both make a wish and pull, and when- it breaks the one who has the bigger part of it will have his or her tv:ish grantees." "But I don't know what to wish for," she protested. "Oh, you can think of something," he said. "No, .I can't," she replied. "I can't think of anything I want very much." "Well, I'll wish for you," he ex- claimed. "Will you, really?" she asked. "Yes!' "Well, then, there's no use fooling with the old wishbone," she interrupt- ed him with a 'glad smile, "you can pressure was too great on the left, have me.". and other bells of ;forward and rear Pressure.

The Army and Navy Journal tells how some clever English soldiers found the range of a hostile battery. "Somewhere in France" a detachment was suffering severely from shrapnel fired from a German battery so in- geniously hidden that all their. at- tempts to determine the position of it proved futile. Behind the British position was a hillside field. A shell from the German battery went over the trenches, struck the hillside, ((ploughed the surface for a consider- able distance, and failed to explode. who has been made a prisoner of war !

Listening devices are scattered round Paris, by means of which long warning is given of the approach of hostile aircraft. Each of these listening posts con- sists of four huge horns -_-very much like phonograph horns to look at, only much bigger—which gather up the slightest sound and magnify it by means of an instrument called a microphone. A 'microphone is only a' special. kind of telephone -receiver. By means of these horns, which are on a revolving pillar, and can be turn- ed in any direction, it is impossible for any ,aircraft to approach Paris M1Yxarcl'o Liniment Cures aistextrpes. without being heard.

The present war will undoubtedly. be the most expensive of 'modern times, and the east of the actual fight- ing alone must run into billions of dollars. In comparison, the Balkan War was quite a small affair, yet when the treaty of peace was signed between victors and vanquished over $200,000,000 bad been spent in fight- ing. The Russo-Turkish War of 1877 cost nearly $00,000,000 a month. When hostilities had ceased Turkey was called upcn to pay $725,000,000, but Russia consented to accept various territories in part payment, leaving a balance of some $250,000,000. The total cost of the Franco-Prus- sian War, which lasted eight months, ran into more than $1,580,000,000. France had to pay the sum of $1,000,- 000,000 in three instalments, and cede Ms ace and Lorraine. Monsieur: For 15 days in the munth of January I was suffering with pain of rheumatism in the foot.
