Talking with n prominent toy dealer,
he told me that American toys have al
most hut the productions OF the French
and Swiss factories out OF the market
Ten years ago nearly all the toys sold in
this country were imported. Now we Inn
port only a few French dolls and Swiss
novelties, and export cargoes OF our W
manufacture 10 all parts OF the world.
Certain houses handle the products Of
dozens OF factories, taking the entire out
put and jobbing 1t out to the retailers.
All the new inventions In toys are Of
native origin. Indeed 1t was this that be-
gan the overthrow OF the foreign toy
trade. The conventional and old-fash
Toned stuff imported had no show in the
market in competition with the ingenui-
ties and diverting novelties OF our own In
ventors. In cases where the inventor re-
served n royalty, he has made handsome
little fortunes by his inventions. Gener-
ally, however, the idea is sold to the man
ufacturer or jobber for a set sum-, and
made md marketed at his risk and profit.

High medical authority is responsible
for the statement that In temperate and
cold countries tobacco creates thirst, and
thereby encourages drinking habits; in
tropical climes II has no such effect on the
smoker, and the taste for alcohol rarely
follows its use in those attitudes. Very
eminent observers have, indeed, attributed
the proverbial sobriety of eastern peoples
to the use Of tobacco. There are impor-
tant qualifications having reference to the
smoker himself and his surroundings. and
modifying the effects of his indulgence
in such a manner as irresistibly suggest
the old proverb: zone mans foo is an-
other man poison
But. further, the effects vary according
TO the method Of consumption; and here
we touch a question OF great interest,
bearing upon several stimulant narcotics,
and that Is the question OF chewing. AZ
solid foods undergo this process In the
mouth, and OF our chief products, tobacco,
coca, opium and betel are also chewed.
The act OF chewing powerfully affects the
nerves Of the mouth, being branches OF
the fifth pair OF nerves, N in close. con
nection with the brain. While 1t has long
been understood hat certain nerves In
the mouth excite, when stimulated by
food, the pleasureable sensations OF taste,
II Is a more recent discovery that the
chewing OF solids produces through the
fifth nerve certain stimulant impressions
upon the nervous centers. One OF the
consequent efforts is a quickened circula-
ton In the brain. What light this throws
upon the habit OF chewing the world overi

The middIe-aged and the old have been
at least ~ active in reforms as the Young;

tries the monopolists OF power carried
through mort Of the changes that the
world has seen. Old generals alter tao

loader. whi.h has changed the distribu-
ton OF poNcr in Europe. wa introduced
by ali old officer and sanctioned by an
eInperor far advanced in years. Theirs
was past middle age when he declared
for the republic. Lord Beaconsfeld was
an elderly statesman when he established
household suffrage. Mr.. Gladstone was
distinctly old-past the psalmist's idea OF
the term OF life-when he advised the
great changes embodied in the Hawarden
mnnifesto. and undertook the settlement
OF that most perplexing Of problems, the
Irish revolution. Certainly he ia no

most trusted advisers are none of them

We h%nbitually quote old LAWYERS as the
stoutest of change. and when
we want to embody conservatism in a
word we mention Lord Eldon; but Lord
Cairns was an elderly man when he
practically without consulting parlia-
inent, and certainly without any pressure
from it, revolutionized at a blow not
only the law, but the very principle
which governed female ownership Of
property; and Lord Selborne, who helped
him, was far past middle life. They

Some changes have been made in the
rulings concerning unavailable matter.
The rule has been, for a long time, that
candy and cake could not be sent by mail
unless enclosed in a tin or wooden box.
These articles are very troublesome in the
mail. If candy can go, any kind of
candy "A go, and candies are sent that

gether all the other mail matter in the
same pouch with 1t. Cake is worse still,

department more trouble han any other
kind of mai matter. 1t is always we'd
ding cake, and very rich. II not only
breaks up, gets scattered through the
pouch and leaves great grease spots on all
the other mail matter, but attracts the
rats, so that they eat through the pouches
and through the other Matchmaker to get
TO it. Experience has proved, now, that
even enclosing cake and candy in tin or
wood does not remedy these evils; and
consequently a late ruling declares cake,
candy and all sorts Of confectionery al
together unavailable. This will break
the hearts Of a great many brides and
bridesmaids, but it is mdispensably
necessary.-Chicago Journal Interview.

The house-fiy begins to make Its appear
ance in July, becomes abundant toward the
end of August, and lives from that time
till killed by cold weather. TIL Eggs are
deposited In the ordureo OF stables, whose
warmth matches them. The larva matches
from the shell in the form OF n small,
white worm; from this 1t passes into the
puph state. The pupa is larger than the
larva, and Is OF n dark brown color. In
this state the insect remains from eight to
fourteen days, then ome forth the per
feet fly. An flies and mosquitoes grow In
the larva and pupa state, and after they
acquire wings they do not grow any more.
The smaller flies we often see with the
house-fiy are not the young OF the same
species. but another and n smaller kind.
As all flies apparently perish on the ad-
vent of cold weather, II is difficult to tell
whence come the fresh swarms with each
recurring summer season, but II Is sup
posed that a few do live through the win
ter in sequestered warm spots, and no
doubt some lie dormant In the pupa state
through the cold months Thus enough
are carried over to begin the work OF
propagation In the early spring. This
work proceeds so rapidly that in n month

THE HABITS OF THE KOREANS.


A People Who Are Physically superb.
but Lazy and Improvident-
The people are physically superficial.
strong, noble in bearing. The women
are very giantesses and tread the ground
like oxen. By far the finest race physi-
cally in the east is in the mouth of every
foreigner. Mentally they are keen and
Intellectual. They have in reality no re
ligion. Buddhism holds a few; Catholic
ism numbers several thousand. Con-
fucianism is the court code. Demon
worship, a low form OF superstition, pre-
walls everywhere. Ancestral worship is
universal. In habit all are careless, lazy,
improvident, dirty beyond Endurance,
and given to drunkenness. Women are
degraded and held in abiect subsection.
They do much of the work. There are
no schools, the parent being the sole
teacher. Poverty is well nigh universal.
Bulls OF heroic mold and small ponies
are the means Of traffic as well as the
backs of men.
The food consists Of beans, rice, and
meat. The Korean is a beef-eater, and
will devour more meat than two English
men IL he has the opportunity. Dogs
also are eaten. Those who live along the
M subsist mostly on fish diet, though
the Korean boat is so poorly constructed
and the Korean so bad a sailor that very
little deep-sea fishing is practiced. Hence
the Chinese who inhabit the opposite
shores of the Yellow sea are the gamers,
for in seasons when the herring frequent
the Korean shores they come over in
numbers and carry away quantities Of
