BABIES OF THE WORLD.
Cradles and Toys Of a Dozen Different
Nations-FIat Head Indian Boy.
Japanese Babies-Gold Cradle of the Sultan
Of Turkey-How the Turks Treat Their
Children-Babies of Alaska


Special Correspondence to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, July 3O.-A new collec-
ton of dolls and cradles has has been
lately received at the National museum
at Washington. W. W. Rockhill has
brought in some information as to the
babies OF the wilds of the Thibet. Prof.
Hitchcock will shortly put forth a report
describing babyhood among the Amos, or
the loug-halred men of Northern Japan,
and Mr.. Niblacl of the navy has brought
from Alaska number of dolls and
cradles. showing how the little ones
amtlse themselves on Behring's straits.
The babies of all the world have their
representatives here, and ] have spent
several DAYS this week among the cradles
OF more than half the globe.
The most curious cradles are those OF
the Unattended Indians. They are of
different shapes and sizes and most of
them are intended for carrying of the
babv on the back. One is made much
Ike sugar trough or a small canoe. In
This the wood is scOOped out until there is
a hole lust big enough to admit the body
Of the child. The top of the hole is
little highe than the remainder, and it
is upon this that the chld's head must
rest. As it lies there, its head comes
lust a trlHe above the edge of
the wood, and a board swung on
pivots falls down from the head of
the cradle and presses against the child s
forehead. a spring is attached to this
board an this spring is elastic, so that
steady pressure is produced against the
head of the child. This continuous
pressure forces the child's head out OF
shape and makes it produce its TRIBES
iien of beauty, which is, that the face
from the nose to the crown of the head
should go back in n straight line. The
baby is put into this cradle as soon as it
IS born, and it Is kept in it for eight
weeks. The cradle has q strap fastened
10 its back and its mother carries both
cradle and baby around with her, rest
ing the burden upon her shoulders and
passing the strap around her head.
When she wishes TO nurse the baby she
turns the head board around to the side,
and when she gives it its bath she merely
takes of its clothing from the waist down
and leaves the remainder of the body in

Graded in turtle shells, and they go to
sleep by the rocking of this quite as we'll
as our babies do. One of the curious
things shown in the National museum is
the Siberian baby jumper. 1t is a sort of
o skin basket, which Is furnished with
strings at each corner, and which 10 tied
oy these to an elastic pole set in the
walls of the cabin. AS the baby moves
back and forth this pole dances up and
down, and Its mother thus gives it ride
with little labor.
Very nenr some of the cradle cases of
the National museum are hundreds of
dolls, and l see that the children of all
the world are alike in their love for TOYS.
Some of the finest dolls come from
Alaska, and nearly every tribe has its
different kind of doll. Many of them
are carved from ivory, and they are
made TO represent the people who make
them. The doll of the fat-headed In
dian has a fiat head, and one from
Southern Alaska will have hole through
its low-r lip with an ivory pin in it to
represent the custom of the ladies of
Alaska who pierce their lip in this way.
These dolls of the Indians are of both
sexes, and not few of them are tatooed.
One of the Alaskan dolls has a ring in his
nose on which are strung red, white and
blue beads, aud other dolls are made of
straw or grasses. The prettIest doll in
the world, perhaps, is the japanese
doll, and from the doll you can study the
customs of the country. The
little punches of hair on
the different parts of q Japa-
nese dolls head enable US to tell just
how old it is, and you can tell Japan
ese child s age by its hair. Some Of the
babies have their heads entirely shaved,
with the exception of two little wisps of
hair under the ears. These are very
young babies. After they grow few
months old ring of hair is allowed to
remain about the crown, and so they
keep on adding until the whole of the
head is covered. 1t is the same in Siam.
such dolls as the little girls use corre-
spond TO the people, and there are long
haired dolls and dolls with their hair cut.
At certain time in the life of the boy of
Siam he has his head shaved, and the
dolls represent hun before and after this
hair cutting. The Corean boys ali wear
long hair, and Corean dolls wear Corean
costumes. The Corean children are very
fond of toys, and there are pin whe Is
and tops and kites in the Corean collec-
ton which has lately been opened in the
National museum.
None of the Alaskan dolls have hair
and none Of them can cry. The faces of |
many of them are wonderfully carved, |
and these little images in ivory have |
faces of variety of expressions. They |
are all dressed, and they are put in min
iature cradles of the finest material. |
The Alaskan women all wear trousers |
and boots, and these Alaskan dolls all |
have these garments on them. l saw
one doll which represented an Alaskan
mother with q miniature baby on her
back, and l was much interested in the
luni dolls. These are painted the colors
Of stick of candy. They are trimmed

If the apparatus is left in shady win dow or cellar, the butter will be kept as cool as desirable even on the hottest day.

CIRCUS DAY.

STIRRING FEATURES OF THE FOREPAUGH
 AND "w1LD wEsT' SHOWS.
 As circus day approaches, interest in the coming exhibition of the great Forepaugh and "Wild West" shows in Winsted, Thursday, June 26, increases.
 It would be impossible to particu- larize all the features of this huge show, but among the many are, the performers whose balancing acts on the swinging trapeze compel both awe and admira- tion the graceful English somersault bareback rider, Miss Ashton, premiere equestrienne, and one hundred other noted arenic stars, including gymnasts, acrobats, riders and clowns Adam Forepaugh, Jr.'s, thrilling act of driv- ing forty horses at headlong speed around the quarter mile race track this famous young animal trainers grand est achievement, "Eclipse," the trapeze leaping pony "Blondin," the rope walking horse the great herd of danc- ing, fighting and pyramid elephants ; and the picturesque and romantically realistic exhibition of the "Wild West" "a series of living pictures of life on the border, portrayed by Indians, scouts and cowboys, who have spent their lives amid the scenes they enact.
 A newly added spectacle is General Phil Sheridan's famous and historical ride from Winchester, true to the original, which was undoubtedly the greatest ride in history, song or story.
 Captain Bogardus and his three famous sons, the quartette of champion shots, are the leaders of the Indians, squaws, papooses, scouts, cowboys, frontiersmen and rancheros of the great Wild West. The number of performers in the grand circus, and of animals in the huge menagerie is legion, and, in a word, the entire show is marvellous.
