Danny and Daisy are brother and sister. In the yard behind the house wihere they live there is a mound of soft, loose earth where they play with their animals. The animals are wooden and they are painted different colors. They came in a Noah's ark at Christmas time. The children mould the earth into the shape of a mountain, the top of which is as high as Danny's shoulders. They dig into the side of the mountain until they make about twenty little caves. They place the animals in these caves with their heads pointing pointing out. Some of the caves are larger than others. In the larger caves they put four, and sometimes sometimes six, animals. The children are careful to put together only tame animals, such as horses, cows, sheep, and dogs. The wild animals like the lions, the tigers, and the leopards, they keep in separate caves. In the largest cave of all they put the elephants,, and that- cave is on a level with the ground. To the giraffes they give the highest caves. When the eaves are alii inhabited, inhabited, Danny takes his spade and hoe and digs a trench rou-nd the mountain. mountain. Then the children pat the earth on the bottom and sides of the mountain until it becomes firm. Then, with the garden hose, Danny fills the trench with water. In. this canal they place the ducks and swans. They have made two ! boats out of safety-match boxes ; with tooth-picks fastened in ■ the centre of these boats they make splendid sails. Every afternoon when they have finished the game, they put the animals back into the ark. Then i Danny wrecks the mountain with ! his hoe.

Rosewood is the name applied to the wood of different trees in their respective countries, so the commercial commercial rosewood is not always the same! The rosewood of Brazil is considered the finest in every way, and is made into beautiful furniture. furniture. The myrtle tree, a common one in Palestine, is useful because its leaves are used for scarlet powders, and from it an oil is obtained which is used in perfume. The myrtle is an emblem of the Jewish feast of the passover and is mentioned sev era! times in the Bible. It is not a large tree, for twenty feet is usually its maximum height. Ebony of the best quality comes from India, Ceylon and other tropical tropical countries, where it is obtained in. logs sometimes fifteen and twenty feet long. The very word ebony means dark, and the darkness darkness of the wood increases with the age of the tree. It is very hard wood and hence it is desirable for fine furniture making. Its unique color, too, makes it always worthy of notice, and it was combined with ivory by the Greeks to bring out its color.

News of interest to every rclactive rclactive and friend of the Canadian soldiers soldiers "who are now in France and of those who will in the near future be in the zone of operations has' been received ak-the head office of the Canadian Red Cross Society from Colonel Hodgetts, Canadian commissioner in London., in which he says that he has completed arrangements for the information bureau to forward particulars regarding regarding wounded and missing Canadians. Canadians. -This work will not conflict with the official returns but will supplement them by furnishing subsequent subsequent information to relations as to their conduct and progress. The work will be carried on upon the same lines as the British Red Grose and with their co-operation. A short time ago an information bureau wias started in connection with the British Red Cross Society for the purpose of keeping the relatives relatives and friends of wounded and missing British soldiers cognizant of their progress and whereabouts. It was felt that a similar scheme might be started by the Canadian society and the message received from the commissioner shows that this has been done. Canadians will therefore be able to hear how their wounded sons and brothers are progressing and to know of their safety if missing or captured. There must, be few people in this country who do not each morning -scan the casualty .list to see whether whether any of those dear to them have been wounded, or in some cases killed. Now' that the "Princess "Princess Bats" are in the trenches and part of the expeditionary force is either in France or on its way there and will therefore soon be in the firing line, these lists will be watched with even greater interest than before. The names that we w'isili least of all to see are those of "the killed, men who have fallen on the field of honor in the greatest cause that they could die for, the cause of freedom and righteousness righteousness ; to look down the column of casualties and see the name of one wounded is almost a relief, for he might have been "missing"; the W'ounded list conveys no uncertainty uncertainty ; it is true and one accepts the n-ew'S with more hope. "Missing leaves an emptier feeling. One fears long suspense, or worse than all, utter darkness. A new' field of work has no w opened opened for the Red Cross, a work that ! will commend itself to every Canadian Canadian and especially those whose brothers, sons and husbands have crossed the water to fight in the great Armageddon.
