These toys are made in very peculiar way.

Il large number uf families on whom they
depend for their stock Of toys. The people
are too wrctchcdly poor to buy the sugar
that is used for making the toys, 50 tho
factory furnishes it to them and charges it
against their account. The patterns fol

work making the goods in the tenement

starch, and then the molten sugar is poured
in and allowed to crystallixc The colorin9
and finishing &re all done by hand, and
though few of the toys sell for more than
five cents aud many for Il penny the work
is in most instances really artistic. But
the pay is small, and the combined family
earnings rarely reach - Il week.

Tho Juciest Watermelon.

/ am often asked why watermelons are
so exceptionally delicious when eaten on
the ground they grow on. The reason is
this: When a grower wants to treat his
friends he selects melon with n very thin
skin. These are always the most delicious,
and they are always to be found i'll awater-
melon patch, but they won't stand n long
railway journey and have to be kept for
local consumption. Most farmers prefer
the tougher and thicker skinned variety,
because these stand weather variations
better and will travel as comfortably as
pig iron. The thin skinned melons are of
Spanish introduction and arc much priced
in the districts where the extreme heat
brings them to perfection. st: Louis

The country, therefore, has been saved the

HOW lhe Money! Cnlncs In,

The worst money we get,n said a treas
llry official at Washington recently, comes
from the west and northwest, where
the people have little use for pocket
hooks, but ram their currency into
their pockets regardless of the conse-
quences. Our best mouey-that the least
damaged comes from New England,
where the people seem to be orderly and
careful We get more money for redemp-
tion in good times than in bud, and moro
in midwinter and midsummer than in the
spring and fall. These facts are attribu-
table to the greater use the people have for
currency in the seasons Of the year which
are most active commercially. Forty per
cent. of the money comes in from New
York city banks and IS or 50 per cent. of it
comes from tho banks OF the eight sub
treasury cities of Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia, Chicago, st. Louis, Cincinnati,
New Orleans and San Francisco. On Mon
days we get the worst money of the week,
for it is on that day that we chiefly hear
from the remote country banks, which
have habit Of holding to their currency
till it is in pretty bad shape"

ing votes for himself that he requests of
the mayor elect time in which to straighten
up things before turning the city over to
his law. Thus matters are amicably ar
ranged, and the supreme court judge is
sent for to administer the oath to the new
mayor when everybody is ready and not
before.
Within the city's walls the lord mayor
of London takes precedence of every SUBJ
ject. His place is Immediately after the
sovereign, and in regal and civic process
sions within the city he precedes the king
or queen. bearing the city sword. This
ancient form was observed in 1906 on tho
occasion of Lord Nelson's funeral and in
1874 at the opening of the Royal Exchange.
Even royalty itself and the perquisites of
royalty wait on the lord mayors pleasure
on some occasions. For instance, no troops
may pass through the city without the
lord mayors consent being first obtained,
and formerly the reigning sovereign paused
at Temple Bar until his lordship signii1ed
his pleasure that the king should be adj
mitted The lord mayor has in his keeping
the scepter, the sword and the mace which
are the royal badges of his Office. He wears
gold chain and collar and jewel con-
ferred upon the Office as u mark of favor
by the crown, and holds the civic purse.
The lord mayor of London must be three
times elected-Ly the householders in his
own ward as alderman, by the liverymen
as sheriff, and by the aldermen as mayor.
Then he has to be approved by the crown.

High sneeu ms uu E1cmcut or SAFETY,

High Speed ns AN Element OF safety.
1t has been said that when the danger of
collision arises if the vessel is slowed down
she will have time to get out of the way.
This, as Il matter of fact, is a fallacy. The
faster ship steams the more fully is She
under the command of her helm, and this
is especially true in the present day of
steam steering gear, when the quartermas-
ter has unlimited power ut his command
to put the helm overquickly. Ocean liners
will never 90 slow enough to enable them
to stop and go astern in the event OF meet
ing in u fog
Captains will always depend on the ma
neuvering qualities of their ships, and, as
already stated, the faster they go the more
quickly will the rudder act; SO that speed,
which from one point of view is an element
of danger, has its counterbalancing advan-
tages. The opinion of our best shippers
inclincs toward the greater safety for their
ships being obtained at high speed in the
matter of danger from collision in case Of
meeting other steamers in u fog.-Ncw
