Lying dangerously near death in an English hospital with nobody near them with whom to^converse, to^converse, they are truly in a deplorable condition. The ladies of the Quebec Red Cross have put themselves in touch with their French Canadian compatriots, and some of the letters they have received are not far from pathetic.

The Canadian Hospitals at the Front. x A writer- in,, aq English publication pays a striking tribute to the Canadian Canadian Hospital OrganizâtionMn Europe. No. 1 General Canadian Hospital situated on the outskirts of Boulogne, lies in the centre of much the biggest hospital concentration ever attempted in history. The visitor finds himself amazed at the scale and scope of this hospital town to the efficiency of which Canadians have made a notable notable contribution. Their share in an organization which is beyond precedent precedent cannot perhaps be exaggerated. It is second only to their performance •in the_field. This particular hospital is in some respects the. leading one, owing to a new method invented by Col. Murray MacLaren of New Brunswick, the officer commanding. Ere has arranged the spacious tents in long corridor wards, each capable of holding 64 patients. patients. The breadth of the tents, the simple arrangements of the electric lighting, and the very convenient arrangement arrangement of the corridor, make the wards as pleasing to the senses and hygienically perfect as could be desired. desired. In some respects No. 2 Canadian Hospital, which occupies the golf Hotel Hotel Le Touquet and overflows into tents on the links, has greater charm, but the site of No. 1 is in the highest degree attractive, owing to its outlook over a wild natural stretch of scenery. The hospital, which was organized as long ago as September, has gradually gradually perfected itself since its arrival at Plymouth on October 16. It had many sites in England, where alone 4,000 cases were treated, before sailing sailing for France in May, but only today today has it reached its full perfection. Hints for the Home.

The . incident--of light, both natural and artificial, is even better than in most London and Montreal hospitals; and one can point to little that is inferior even in such equipment equipment as X-ray apparatus. It is a delight delight to see the smooth working of the Canadian officers and doctors, whether R.A.M.C. or Red Cross, in this immense immense organization. There are three. more Canadian army hospitals in England, and in France three general, with a potential potential equipment of 1,040 beds, two stationary, stationary, a clearing hospital, with its attendant ambulances, besides an admirable admirable system of Red Cross distributing distributing depots, set up, thanks to pri- ate generosity in Canada, within reach of every hospital unit. It is an interesting attribute of the larger establishments, establishments, such as No. 1 General, that every department of Canada is represented within the circle of the unit. The arrival of a group of French-Canadian nurses coinciding with Sir Robert Borden's visit, may be, quoted as an example of the unity of the Dominion. Preserving Fruits for the Red Cross. Now that the preserving season is in full swing, patriotic housewives who are doing up fruit for the Red Cross, should take special pains to ensure that the preserves will stand transit and resist fermentation. A good deal of fruit has been received at the eRd Cross Headquarters done up, or at least supposed to be done up, in small baking powder tins, mustard tins, cocoa tins, and so forth. Needless Needless to say, such preserves are as perishable perishable as fresh fruit. The cover •comes off the first opportunity, and the sick soldier, for all the good housewife's efforts, will have nothing but an unsatisfied longing. In this matter no amount of patriotic inventions inventions fill the bill so well as a quart "sealer" or a "lever" tin provided with st top that will fit down snugly and securely. . . Canning instructions have been published, published, calling i£>r unsweetened preserves preserves as like fresh fruit as possible and as unlike jam, with which the soldiers are surfeited. • Some ladies have taken these instructions too literally, literally, and have sent in fruit absolutely' unsweetened. Preserved'fruits should contain a certain amount of sugar syrup. syrup. They should be boiled at a high temperature sufficient to destroy the yeast germs which cause fermentation. fermentation. The jars should be. sealed so as to be perfectly airtight. They should be packed for transit in "stout barrels and boxes with the individual jars snugly wrapped in excelsior. excelsior. Only careful packing will prevent breakage. Ladies preparing fruit should pay special attention to this matter. The making of the preserves is only a small part of the work.

Rare Intelligence of a Black-and- White Pointer. Senator .was a magnificent black- and-white pointer, whose great intelligence intelligence and long years of service had greatly endeared him to his master-- who was an officer in the army--and his mistress. They had no children, and lavished their great affection on him. Being full of years, and a greatly greatly privileged character, Senator had pre-empted a rug before the grate fire as his sleeping place, and always in the evening he was to be seen taking taking his ease in that place. One evening there was a card party at the house, and one of the tables happened to be placed over Senator's resting place. Senator did not like that, and after trying several places, none of which just suited him, he began began to yawn and stretch, and coming to the obstructing table, tried to push it out of the way. He was of course reproved by N the lady of the house, and it was evident that he was very unhappy. He wandered round disconsolately, disconsolately, quite upset because he could not get back to his favorite resting place. All at once he made up his mind; he ran over to a divan on which the officers officers had thrown their caps; he seized one in his mouth, came over to the officer sitting nearest the fireplace, and shoved the cap into the officer's lap, with a whine as much as. to say, "Please go, I am past my sleepy time!" It is unnecessary to add that his appeal appeal was heeded, and that Senator at once got his place. * Sir Edward Carson once referred in Parliament to "the gentleman I see behind me."
