 The common nettle was once quite popular vegetable in many parts of England, and only just before the war the writer met il in a HertfordShire village. In taste it is not unlike spin ach. And like the locust the nettie is easy to obtain, for it springs up wherever man goes, and has been found to follow him even into the most. remote part of the earth.
 Perhaps no rise in prices has taken surprise than the promised 6s ton on coal. Of course all know that if the miners get higher wages coal would probably never return to its pre- war pIiCS. but IOT d 1OuS llI1e there has been a pretty general belief that the present prices were greatly in fiated by artificial conditions, such as scarcity of transport and labour, and that they would soon fall to reason able figure when peace actually ar rived.
 That house coal, which before the war could be bought for about 25s ton is already 92 S., in spite of the fact that some 5000 900 men have left hE aaf will yet be found to avoid this ad- ditional burden. I

 The most interesting feature of Judge Cory's demonstration to wound ed soldiers of the things a man without hands can do was the implement with which he did them. He wore no arti- fcia1 arm with hand and movable fng- CTS modelled in fac-simile of the natural thing, such as we see in England h. stead, he wore a frank piece of mS- chanisnl, an apparatus of nickel steel | making no pretence to be or to look like a hand and arm, but nevertheless actually doing their work -.. It is along these lines, discarding the old ideal of reproducing the hand 1 and fingers and boldly seeking a strict 1y%enEfneertnx apparatus, that the arm
