Christmas Animals.

Nearly every boy has made various
animals out of toothpicks. vegetables,
acorns, etc. For example. potato may
serve for the body, an onion for a
head and cranberries for eyes. Tooth
picks may do for tail and legs. All sorts
of combinations can be made. A Gu
cumber for body, carrots for legs and
red apple for a head would make a
gorgeous and fearsome animal, tooth
picks being used to join all these to-
gether.
