A glance at the sources of the money which flows into the coffers of the Red Cross Fund and of the sup- plies which are despatched every week from the central shipping office in Toronto shows that the Red Cross, for the appeasing of misery, levies a tithe on our merriment and males a Joy and pleasure of charity and humanitarianism, which is eminently as it should be, for we are told that | Heaven likes a cheerful giver.

In 1868, as the re- sult of an earthquake, a tidal wave swept over the town, and the father was drowned, but William, a boy of eight, was saved to pursue a brilliant academic career. In his early days the future President wrote books and fought in the Chilean war.

It will be largér than the "America," and also differ from it in being an entirely land machine, The type will be known as the "Canada" type, just as fiylng boats like the "America constitute the '""America'™ type. The monster biplane will be capable of carrying a maxim gun and large loads of ammunition and explosives.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos confain too much alkali, which is véry injurious, as it dries the sealp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain niulsified cocoanut ofl, for it is pure and entirely greaseless, * It's very cheap, and beats soap or anything else all to pieces. You ean get this at any drug store, and & few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub {it in, about a teaspoonful is all that Is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and Is soft, fresh looking, bright, flufty, wavy, and easy to handle.
