The only countries to record a larger percents age of increase were Germany and Australia. When +t is considered that the imports of 1928 were the highest up to that time, it is readily seen that Canadian trade is steadily increasing. Development of Export Trade. Canadian trade figures show a re- markable developmefit of export trade to New Zealand. In 1915 this amount: ed to only $2,623,865. Figures for the last three years are: 1923, $8,286,262; 1924, $12,735, 6204 and 1925; $15,079,661. Canada's exports constitute a very wide list. Last year increases were recorded in fish, (apples, oats, corn' flour, onions, seeds, boots and shoes, carpets and floor coverings, iron and steel, hardware .wire.and metal manu- factures, timber of all kinds, sashes | and -deors, cameras, pianos, "automo- biles, bicy¢les and accessories, Other exports are chocolate, fencing, agricul tural machinery, glassware, electric batteries, paper and soap.

For sorrows that each heart does bear, Some restitution rises; The little joys found everywhere Become life's golden prizes. There's not a soul with all its grief That finds no hidden pleasure, If it, through trial, still holds belief That strength to bear is treasure.

When There Were Two Moons Here is a legend that was long cur- rent among the Penobscot Indians, of Maine, Once upen a time, they use to say, in the long ago there were two moons | in the sky. One was the big moon that' we can all see to-day, and the other was a little one that followed the big one about. Now, there lived among the Indians a small boy who did not like té work. | He neglected every task that was set him and spent his time in play. At running errands, he was especially ir- responsible. Indeed, it was his bon, lessness in this regard that cost the world a moon. It happened thus. a pumpkin. But as usual he loitered on the way. Perhaps he chased a squirrel or wasted his time shooting arrows. At any rate it was nightfall before he thought of the pumpkin. for which he had.been sent. It was dark and he was a long way from homg, and also from the fleld in which the pump- kins grew. The big moon had already get, but the little one' was still in the sky. As the boy squinted at it, wish- ing- that it gave more light, it seemed to Him that, small and round and yel-: low as it was, it looked very much like a pumpkin. If he had that little moon, perhaps he could fool his mother, whose sight was falling, into thinking that it really was the pumpkin that he had been sent to fetch. Snap wenf his arrow, and twang went his bow, and in less time than it takes to tell it, the little moon was ly- ing at his feet. But alas! it buried itself in the ground, and as it lay there it was-much larger than he had expect- ed it to be. low. Neither was it quite round. The small boy was soundly beaten by a horde of small and angry imps that came tumbling off the angry moon and when he returned home empty- handed hts mother at last fulfilled her long threat™and whipped him all over again. Anyone who doubts the truth of this story may travel up into Maine. and there, on the west fork of the Penob- scot, he can see the fallen moon for himself. The palefaces call it Grind- stone Hill.
