TRADES FOR THE WOUNDED.
Gratifying success has already attended the operations at- the workshop established by Queen Mary in the grounds of the Royal Pavilion at Brighton, in which wounded soldiers who have lost limbs are to be taught skilled trades. This training, says the Telegraph, is preliminary to men being fitted with artificial arms or legs, so that they may be assisted, as far as possible, in entering upon some useful and interesting employment. A regular agency has been established f\’ procuring situations, and already several resuscitated trades in this country have engaged to employ a large number of these discharged soldiers as soon as they are in a position to shift for themselves. The men are keen on taking advantage of the facilities now offered to them.
