In the German cities it is most re- freshing to find scattered through leach park many good-sized beds of ’good sand. The beds are confined by la. wooden border to prevent the sand being scattered or washed away by rains. No matter how small the park, or in what quarter of the city it is situated, one is sure to find at least four or five of these small spots of delight for children, and from early morn until sometimes mr into the twilight you will never find one| of these little enclosures entirely deâ€"' serted. CHILD TRAINING IN GERMAN Mahogany-hunting is pxecarious work. In Central and South Ameri- ca the mahogany trees do not grow in groups ; much less are there whole {forests of them. They are scattered, iusually concealed in thickets. It reâ€" muires skill and experience to find ,them. To tell a tree involves the work of two men for a whole day. On account of a thick, thorny growth near the base of the tree a scafl'old is erected around it, and above this. at a height of from 10 feet to 15 feet, the tree is cut, so that the best part is really lost. The felled tree is then freed of branches and hauled on a rough Waggon by oxen to the nearest river. where rafts are made and floated down. i '_-v -UCW‘CU.‘ nu and Child seated on a throne, with a figure of St. John the Bap- tist on the left and that of St. Ni- cholas of Bari on the right.
