The man who has net ibeen under fire always desires eagerly to know what were the feelings of the hian who has been during this ordeal. It is probable that he does not fre--. quently find the information given by, veterans either •satisfying or en- lightening, • It has been my good fortune' says the medical eorrespondent ofthe London Times, to •enjoy many op- portunities of talking with soldiers who have been 'wounded in action. I have visited Belgian, French and British hospitals at various peri- ods, and as o medical man have been afforded special facilities for study. The.se opportunities have convinced me that no two men feel quite the -same sensations whilst un- der fire for the first time, and also that a mart ie capaibre of experien- cing quite different emotions at dif- ferent periods of the same day, though his circumstances have not changed. For example, from the statement of se man who experienced shell fire for the first ;time in his life in the neighborhood of Arras I gathered that his first feeling bad been one o -f great interest and cariosity. A "Black Maria" tell some hundreds of yards away and sent up a great column of smoke, end at the same time shrapnel was bursting at no long distance, But suddenly there came home to him •the realization that thee shells were intended to work havoc, and that, in fact, the position occupied was .full of dan- ger. "Then I fell: exactly as any- body would feel the moment after he discovered that he was in a field with am angry bull. Every instinct of, mind and body prompted flight." A second Irian told me that from the moment he came undee fire—in a trenche—he experienced -the most lively terror. "But the feeling pass- ed away after a while, leaving me rather tired and only a little anx- ious." A third declared ',that he had been co nervous before going in:to' action that the .event pub the •anticipations el it to shame. He had regarded himself as a dead maim and woke up, under fire, to the real- ization that his Chances of Coming through safely were very good. The achievement of "second cour- age", is, of course, a well-recognized stage in •the seasoning. process - of war. I heard a little ,story from the lips of a British officer which seems to me Inc illustrate the genesis of it very icorclusively—and the story is worth telling Inc its own sa.ke. At is 'certain period of the presentwar some new :troops :were sent to hold O particular trench.

He spoke to them for a short time and steadied them. Then'. he pointed •o•ut that: the way of duty lay -backwards towards the position they had left. "I'll walk :hack apart of the way with you."

Barring the Beard. , To -day is the day, of the clean- shaven man, 'and the banbers flour- ish accordingly. Toemeerow side- whiskees and beards May again be theerage, tor the fashion of the face has affected men of all ages. Ancient 'Babylonians displayed' their superiority by refusing to wear _beards; the Assyrians let theirs run wild. The Jewish lam forbade its children to cut their beards. The Tartars, a beardless race, waged war with Persians be- cause the letter refused to part with ' their hireute adornment. Beards were ;fashionable conongthe Greeks until their great general, Alexander the Great, ordered the Macedonians to• shave, lest their beards 'should form an assailable 'weapon for their enemies, With the advent of William the Conqueror, beards disappeared ,from England, and the mode did not re•turn until the thirteenth eenthry, and was discontinued at the Restoration.

It is oominon 10 mountainous districts and where there is 'ina-gnesian Milestone in. the soil and drinking water..
