Nearly all of the Noah‘s arks are made in Naxony. It is a household industry, whole families devoting their time in winter to the production of them. An individual family may have been occupled for generations in the marketing of ark animals. The Sonneberg Valley turns out something like seventyâ€"five million dolls every year. It is the birthplace of the papierâ€"mache doll, the compoâ€" sition being a mixture of paperâ€"pulp, flour, chalk and glue. The industry in that region dates back more than three centuries. _ Those who do not sell dolls make them ; those who do neither are in the cradle. Dogs and goats haul cartloads of dressed and unâ€" dressed dolls through the streets. The Veteraft Shops of Toronto, operated by disabled returned soldiers, have produced large quantities of toys of superior quality, some of them beâ€" ing works of art. Canada is also deâ€" veloping toy factories of her own along other commercial lines, and for quality and originality of design and beauty is more than holding up the standing of the Dominion for excelâ€" lence. It is true that up to the preâ€" sent most of the toys sold in Canada fall into the department of imported articles, but as manufacturers pay more attention to these lines and the people develop greater pride in home products the Canadian toy industry will expand. This is a great country for buying toys and it may yet more fully supply its own requirements in this line. made. _ They have read historical value. Like the youngsters of toâ€"day, the children of antiquity had toy carts and other vehicles in miniature suitable for the nursery. Not long ago a toy chariot of ancient pattern was dug up on the slopes of the Aeropolis, at Athens. Babies® born on the banks of the Nile in the days of the Pharaohs were kept amused withâ€"rattles that had bars of wire strung with ringing disks of metal. _ Some of them were made of poreelain, and were exquisite works of art. The children of ancient Greece kept their toys in baskets especially made for the purpose. In one of the comeâ€" dies of Plautus, a young woman, the heroine, is enabled to establish her identity by her possession of such a basket of playthings. Kidnapped as a child, she carefully preserved her toys, and recognition of them by her parents many years later gave them knowledge that she was their daughâ€" ter. One writer on the subject points| out that throughout the lustory of mankind the progress of invention and civilization has been mirrored in the playthings of children. _ Whatever] the grownâ€"ups did. has been refle vt(*d’ in the toys of the little folks. at the present time everything that is latest in the art of war and industry,! even to aceroplanes and submarines, is reproduced on a tiny seale in Toy-! land.

One may well believe that in days long prehistorie, when our remote ancestors dwelt in caves and in pits dug in the ground and roofed over, fond mammas made doll babies for their little girls out of such materials as a stick and a serap of fur. Babies‘ rattles undoubtedly date far back in the prchistoric. The Greeks of old called them by a name signifyâ€" ing ‘‘producers of sleep,‘‘ and most of them were of terra cotta modelled to represent animals or birds, hollowâ€" ed to contain a little ball of metal.

Christmas is essentially the childâ€" ren‘s special season and so is the period when toys are preâ€"eminent in the public mind. At this Christmas time, something of the story of toys, may not be out of place. Toys for children appear to be as old as the world itself. No doubt Adam and Eve fashioned toys from apples and figâ€"leaves for the little Adams and Eves to amuse themselves with.

It was announced by President J. A. McAndrew that the board had purâ€" chased a new and larger mining plant, which it was hoped w ou]d be in operâ€" ation early in January when sinking of the No 1 shaft to a depth of at least 300/feet would be commenced. The No. 2 shaft had been sunk to a depth of fifty feet by hand, said Managing Director E. J. Thompson, and to 100 feet by the use of a small steam plant and a drill compressor. When the S5â€"foot level was reached the vein dipped south out of the shaft, but from this depth to that of 100 feet the workings were in schisted material, which contained encouraging zold showings. _ Upon completion 0 the 100 feet of sinking and a sump, : crossâ€"cut south was started and con At the meeting a new set of byâ€"laws was confirmed as the former ones were in some cases contradictory. The chief change was an increase in the size of the board from five to seven. A total of 898,848 shares was repreâ€" sented in person or by proxy.

It was explained that it had been found that the original company could not hold property in Quebece under its Ontario charter without the payment of a large sum of money, so the new incorporation had ‘been authorized, with an authorized capitalization of $20,000.

The character of the vein and schist continued with varying widths of vein matter. _ The amount of free gold found continued as throughout the previous work, and the results obâ€" tained from this exploratory work were most encouraging. Trenching and .crossâ€"trenching in the locality of No. 1 shaft, which had been sunk for a depth of 25 feet about 900 feet east of No. 2, had also been undertaken. In the crossâ€"trench north heavy overâ€"burden was encountered. At a distance of 100 feet north of No. 1 shaft another vein was cut, and the contact between porphyry and diabase located. Eight feet of wellâ€"schisted material and quartz was found, a general sample from which over this width showed no free gold, but gold values of $7 per ton upon assay. Other properties of the company consisted of 440 aecres in the Rouyn area and 550 acres in Malartic.
