QUEER WAYS OF GETTING WOUNDED.
It is really qu : te surprising what variety may be found among the victims at an average French casualty clearing station. The~exigeneies of the service took me inside a hospital recently, and business being disposed of, I had a livominutr chat with a young artilleur who had had Irs nose broken in three place* bv a fish blown out of a canal by ill" bursting of a 12 n. shell. On the next bod of suffering lay a poor fellow who had caught his foot in the dug-out vattrap, and his hectic views on people who turned out patent rat-traps which trapped "vi''j thing but rats would have brought tears of disappointment to the eyes of the manufacturers. On the other side of the room sat an finibulancier of the hospital who had been badly bitten in the neck while tendmg a delirious African. —"Jack Johnson" in "The Bystander."
