The fool who the boat may live to ride aeroplane. rocks in an Toronto, April 19.--One of the most interesting accounts of the work that is being done for the wounded and sick at the front is sent in a letter from Mrs. Ohaun- oey Depew to her sister. Since the outbreak of hostilities Mr. and Mrs. Depew have generously converted their chateau, fourteen miles north of Gompeigne, on the main rail road from. Brussels to Paris, into a hospital, which is only three miles from the firing line and is in such dose proximity to the German trenches that the. strains of the "Wacht am Rhine" can be dearlv heard in the chateau Mrs. Depew gives the' following graphic description of- - the work that is being carried on in her chateau :--"We are getting better organized every day and the hospital hospital and the ambulance service is really very good now. -The latter, tliey- say, is the best at the front. We are now in direct telephone communication with the trenches.' As soon as the men are hurt someone someone phones for ambulances, and sometimes they arrive at the posiJe de secours before the wounded are brought out of the trenches. They send us only the very worst cases, and lately they have seemed more horrible, as the Germans are using bombs now filled with nails and bits of old iron. Last Thursday we heard the.re - were ten wounded, and two died 1 before they could be put into the ambulance® and four almost almost immediately after they arrived arrived here. They were fairly torn to bits. "We are so grateful to all- the kind friends) who have helped us, and, thanks to them, . we have been able to buy one ambulance, wonderfully wonderfully -fitted up.. The others belong belong to the British Red' Cross or to private person® who hiavp joined our staff. We have also been, able to buy a radiograph, which saves eo much suffering, and many of the instruments and store® for the operating operating room. Beyond that, • I have been, able to distribute blankets, flannel night shirts and bed socks to the poor little field hospitals all along the front, which, for the most part, are so wretched I wouldl not believe their condition had I not seen it. - , (These hospitals have now been closed dlown by the; French Government Government aind only the hospital® undler the authority of the -Army Medical Corps or Red Cross Society are permitted) to be used.) "The other day I was in a room. It was heated,--that was the only good quality I saw that existed. The mattresses were made of straw covered with sacking and placed on three hoards, and a bolster made like the mattressOn these sacks of straw covered with a blanket were men sick with pneumonia, typhoid, typhoid, bronchitis, etc., and they could not even, be undressed. The extent of. their undressing were very far from. the railway. The doctor in charge asked if I could get them a thermometer. Thanks to friends, we have been able to better these conditions in several similar places." . Mrs. Depew continue® :--"The administration confines its efforts x> the large hospital®,, ®o you must enow that we are obsolutely at the :ront, so much so, that last week 'he British Red Cross, who have sent us several nurses, thought hey would have to take them away as we are so near the firing line-. It was only on my signing a paper saying we would discharge them in time if danger arose, and their signing a paper saying they wo-uld take all responsibility of danger upon themselves, that they w-çre allowed to. stay. If we found we •should be in the firing line® we would have to leave, but that does not seem probable at present: "I. personally, hav-e- seen to the gave them only where the officer in charge .says they are really needed. The other day I gave- eleven dozen socks, knitted in Nova Scotia, to the Moroccans, who, poor things, suffer most horribly with cold. They, and, in fact, ailil, said, 'How kind of people in so far away countries countries to think of us.' " Mrs. Depew says that she was able to give seme of the tetanus serum that was sent, and that it was deeply appreciated. Also a good supply of chloroform has lately lately arrived, iso that it can now be given to various postes de secours. (Note. A large supply of tetanus serum has been ordered by the British British Government from- Toronto University, and will be sent out at once). Mrs-. Depew continues : "We have only two of our own servants with us, and have to depend on people around here for work. The laundry to realize the horrors of this terrible terrible war until we are near the zone of fighting and see day and night the constant stream of wounded and maimed men - , many of them in the prime of life., being brought in from the trenches after a hard fought fight. . These men are fighting to keep inviolate inviolate our homes and property and our very national existence. It will not be. enough to thank them and cheer them when they return, but the time to assist is NOW, when they are bearing the privations .and misery of this dreadful dreadful conflict without a murmur and always with a smile. They are do ing much for us; they. are. giving all they have, their very lives, tha we may rest secure, and emerge from this world war greater than ever. What .are - we doing for them ? Can we do too much ? This country has risen -splendidly to the occasion, and in every part A little salt dissolved in water is recommended for eyelids reddened to the wind.

(Fsrmrir Wlrfser.) Cherry Growing. "The Cherry in Ontario," by E. F. Palmer, B.S.A., is the title of Bulletin No. 230, = forty, pages, well illustrated, which i-s being distri- buted without charge by the Ontario Ontario Department _ of Agriculture, Toronto, to those interested in this branch of fruit growing. The relationship between the sour and sweet varieties of cherries is thoroughly discussed, it being pointed out that the latter are much more tender in bud, and consequently consequently are less generally grown, the number of sweet cherry trees being less than ten per cent, of the ! total. Fail planting of the young cherry trees is recommended, and at distances not less than 18 x 19 feet for sour and 24 x 24 feet for sweet varieties. In the matter of pruning, low headed trees with j rather -open centres are advocated. ; Low-lying, undrained land should be avoided in planting a cherry orchard, as the trees do not thrive with "wet feet." Methods of picking, packing, and marketing the fruit are fully described, described, with illustrations of the most desirable packages. The most suitable, varieties to plant, cost of production, insect enemies, diseases, diseases, etc., are given . in detail. Three leading cherry growers also contribute articles based upon their individual experience, which is not the. least valuable feature of the bulletin. * MOTHER OF SCHOOL GIRL Tells How Lydia EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Restored Restored Her Daughter's Daughter's Health.
