Fathers, Mothers, Grandparents and Children Who Make Toys.

Fathers, Mothers, Grandparents and
 Children Who Make Toys.
 Though Santa Claus begins getting ready for the next Christmas the min ute he unharnesses his reindeer, yet he never could make enough toys to go around if he did not have lot of people to help him.
 In Germany there are several will lages where everybody works at toy making, not only the mothers, fathers and children, but even grandmothers and grandfathers. For generations these families have made toys-dolls, tin soldiers, doll furniture, little wood en wagons and wooden animals of all kinds. In many homes the children begin helping in this work when they are so small they can hardly sit at the common working table. Often whole family will earn only 60 cents day.

Derivation of Gibraltar.

In I'll A. D. the Arabs crossed the narrow strait of Gibraltar and estab- lished themselves around the famous rock whose name is derived from their leader, Field Marshal Tarik was one of the leaders of the Arab invasion of Spain. Gebel is an Arabic word meaning mountain. The great rock, which is by far the most conspicu- ous object along the shores of the strait, was accordingly named after Tarik, Gebel el Tarik, or the mountain of Tarik It is easy to see how this name became changed into its present form.

A Loss OF $4,000.
Comptroller General Jones in his
annual report shows where about
100000 has been expended for max
ing the examinations.
He says:
81 am firmly convinced that the en-
aminationS into the offices of county
treasurers can be more satisfactorily
done, and prove of greater value when
done, by persons experienced in the
conduct of county Offices, under the
immediate supervision and direction
OF the comptroller general than by
bookkeepers, no matter now accom-
D.ished, under the employment of leg

by the counties in such independent

appropriation of 81 900 for examina-

These independent examinations
have produced little results. except i'm

An example of this is in the case
in Laurens county, where $1,000 was
expended to examine into the exist

comptroller general some years ago.
"All such examinations should be
