"Â¥ou see, sir,"‘ he complained, "when I joined the navy they told me I should see the world, and here for two solid weeks, TI‘ve done nothing but reâ€" arrange it."â€"Globe and Mail. _ He was a new recruit to the Navy and he joined it in the hope of fulâ€" filling his youth‘s ambitions of adâ€" venture on the high seas and travel to distant lands. But at first he was sent to a training school, and at the endad of two weesk he had spent most of his time digging ditches, chopping trees, filling up holes. Finally he sought his superior officer. pens is a beautiful trailing plant for placing in a small pocket of soil and in July and August it becomes a cloud of small pink and white flowers. Iris cristata is a dainty native creeping species about three inches in height, blooming with amethyst blue fowers in May. Iris pumila grows about four inches high. It also blooms in May, in white, yellow and violet blue. Tt is well to grow in the rock garden some of the interesting little plants which draw much attention, such as sedums, saxifragas and semperviviums, all of which are divided into many varieties. â€" Alpine asters, pinks, camâ€" panulas, bellis ( English daisies), alpine poppies, phlox sublata, aubrietia, achilâ€" lea, areâ€"among a host of othersâ€"all good planting material for rock gardâ€" ens. Suitable borders cannot be made on hot, dry slopes with much hope of success, yet in such a location many rock plants thrive to best advantage. J. H. Knell. Perennials like erinus alpinus, which form pretty rosettes of foliage and rosy purple flowers can be grown with ease between stone steps. Gypsophila reâ€" ‘The material for planting in rock gardens is almost inexhaustible. _ Alâ€" pine plants in many species and varâ€" ieties can be obtained by the thousâ€" and, although plants of easy cultivaâ€" tion and those calculated to give a good display should at first be sought by the beginner. wAlpine plants do not suffer from cold but many of them cannot exist in poorly drained ground. It is better to reserve your rock gardâ€" en for natural rock plants in preference to using those that can be grown equally well, or better, in the border or bed. Many fine little bulbs will fit nicely into pockets of soil, provâ€" iding early bloom in spaces that will later be covered by patches of sedums or wild thyme. Bulibs such as snowâ€" drops, stillas, crocus, and the beautiful iris. reticulata; these should all be planted in the Pall. The‘tiers of rock merely provide a natural surface for rock loving plants to ~trail over or cushion themselves against. By leaving openings into the greater deptlt of soil below you provide your plants with ample rooting space, a condition that you would hardly exâ€" pect to find in Nature, and this is an advantage that the artificially conâ€" structed rock garden has over Nature‘s garden. Any attempt at a formal design will spoil the effect but no stone should lie on its broadest side. When finished the garden should be pleasingly irreâ€" gular to give it a natural appearante, the land sloping sufficiently from every angle to provide rapid drainage, but the ‘slopes should not be too steep or rain will not be able to penetrate the s01l. Fall is the best season to construct a rock garden as there is ample time to build after the leaves have fallen until the freeze up. If the job is completed in the Fall the soil and rocks will have had time to settle by Spring and the garden will be in condition to plant. It is important, when building your rock garden, that all fissures and pockets filled with soil shall have acâ€" cess to the ifoundation bank of soil upon â€"which the garden is based. Pockâ€" ets and fissures should be filled with rather rich soil, at least one fourth well rotted manure. The main itea is to build up the rocks informally and with soil beteween them.

We managed to get to the woods, but they were full of snipers and tanks. Needless to say, it was a very hot spot. The rest of the battalion could not get up to help us, and in a matter of a few minutes I was acting company commander. A sniper hit me in the left thigh and later in the right hip when I tried to get him. A machine gun nest opened up and I got one in each foot before we managed to closs it up. Personally, at this stage of the game, I saw very little hope for the rest of us, as T hadâ€"run about 200 yards and now could only crawl with diffiâ€" culty.
