Wounded in War. It. seems strange, in these days of advanced medical science, to hear of some of the appalling things that were done for the soldiers in the FrancoPrussian War, as told by Dr. Von Danneville in her lecture at the Pioneer Club on Friday evening. Then, as now, there were many women anxious to help in whatever way they could in minimising the sufferings or the wounded and dying soldiers, and as train after train arrived in Berlin filled with .the victilns of war, bundles of old linen, just as it came from homes or othor places, were taken by eager fingers and pulled to pieces, thread by thread, and in its disintegrated state, placed on the wounds of the soldiers without undergoing any cleansing process whatever. Small wonder that the percentage that recovered was appallingly low. Nurses, trained as they are to-day, did not exist, and their places would often be taken by women who really did deaconess work in the city in tho days of peace, and who worked so heroically that' sometimes they died as they stood through sheer overwork and strain.

On Thursday afternoon, at. the residence 'of the bride's' mother, Patanga Crescent, Wellington, Miss Edith\Roulston, youngest daughter of Mrs. S. Roulston, was .married to Mr. J.-11.
