Into this box she put the doll carefully or
its back in such Il way as not to muss or
rumple her beautiful pink dress. Then
she put on the cover and fastened it in
place with Il stout bit of Irvine and wrote
on it:

STALL -
The girl disappeared with the doll under
her arm, and no sooner was she out OF
sight than another girl popped in at the
opposite end of the room and handed the
old lady another doll.
This she said, as she looked it over,
sis a doll for i poor child. 1t is made OF
common china-that is, the head and bHst
are. and the rest Of her IS linen and saw
dust. But it will probably make the poor
girl quite as happy as the handsome wax
doll will the daughter of the rich man,
Then she dressed the doll in calico and a
Bingham hood, and when she was finished
and put in a box, which was addressed
Emily Lum, Watsessing, \. j., in popped
another girl. who as quickly disappeared
with the instructions to put it in the New
Jersey bin.
The cid lady was always in excellent
spirits, and appeared to take as much
genuine delight in making presents for the
poor and rich alike as many persons find in
b~estowing gifts entirely upon the wealthy,
and when she had dispatched the little girl
with the doll to be put in the New Jersey
bin she called for her books, and when they
were brought she adjusted her glasses and
said:
I'VE have get to hurry as much as pos
sible or we shall neglect some OF our little
friends. Russia has not been touched get

As The two little girls were moving away,
she continued;

And Off popped the little girls in great
haste. and 10 sooner We're they gone than

Tic Old Rura1 Christmas.

How many of the young people know
that some forty years ago nine-tenths or
tbs children in America had to enjoy
Christmas with only such sums as they
had saved up for months, often a penny at
atime? Yet so it was. Not one father in
ten thought of giving a boy christmas
money!" the big family dinner and such
finn as cost nothing was enough.
Indeed, save for candy and fire crackers,
there was little to spend money for. Rob
inson Crusoe'' and ''Parley's Tales were
almost the only story books. though the
people had some old stand bys on their
shelves and the "Old English Reader was
like other poor, always with them. There
were moral Lessons" a few, and tracts
enough; but no gorgeonsly lettered vol
umes of childish song, no fairy stories shin
ing in covers of blue, green and gold.
The story that artists for the earliest
juvenile books had TO label their pictures
This is a horse ,, ''This is a cow" ETC., is
no doubt an exaggeration, but the toys
really needed it. Many a little girl made
a doll by dressing up a crook necked
squash. "Rag babies were the rule. A
doll such as any child of parents above the
grade of paupers may now have for Christ
mas, would then have excited the amaze
ment OF the nel9nDOfnOod anu Il uOll bldt
would open and shut its eyes-well, Ian
guage is lacking to set forth the furore
such n wonderful creation would have ex-
cited.
1t is an actual fact that the purchase of
such a doll by order from C~incinnati-at a
cost of two dollars-was made matter of
church discussion in one town as late as
1913. ''The ~neighbors' finally decided it
was all right, as the mans little girl was
an invalid and needed amusement. She
certainly got it, if company was any
amusement, for every child for miles
around was crazy to see that doll. As for
paying ten dollars for a doll, the people
would have asked the court to name a
guardian for the man who did it, as me
unfit to manage his own affairs. Ten dol
lars would buy an acre of good timbered
land in half Of the country.
Wood carving was an envied accom-
plishnlent in those days. The 'hired
hand" who had some skill with a jack
knife bad a crowd Of children after him on
all possible occasions; the father who could
carve a human looking figure out of wal
nut park was a hero to his family.

After running horses. jumping ath-
ietes. flying cannon balls, flashes of
lightning and the shifting spectral lines
OF revolving double stars have been NC
cessfully photographed. the airy soap
bubble has furnished a stumbling block
that the scientific photographer has had
great difficulty in ~surmounting Lord
Rayleigh, in a lecture before the Royal
Institution of London, said that for
some time it had been his ambition to
photograph a soap bubble in the act Of
breaking.
He anticipated great difficulty because
l9a NEW the time occupied in the disap-
pearance of a breaking bubble must be
but a small fraction of a second.
Whoever has watched a brilliant soap
bubble burst knows how instantaneously
it vanishes. Lord Rayleigh thought it
might take one-twentieth Of a second,
but by repeated experiments he found
that the time occupied in the disappear
ance OF the iridescent film was not more
than one three-hundredth of a second.
To catch and picture a vanishing film
between the instant Of its breaking and
that of its complete extinction proved a
most difficult undertaking. but it was
accomplished.
Some persons may think that it would
be equally difficult to photograph a
lightning flash, but it must be r~ecollected
that lightning makes an intensely vivid
impression, while the soft reflection of a
soap bubble is evanescent, even in the
bright glare of an electric spark.
From printing the image of the flying
edge Of a broken bubble in the three
hundredth Of a second to disclosing the
existence of great nebulg in the heavens
by the cumulative effect of several hours
Of continuous exposure, the modern
Photographic plate is performing many
wonders in behalf of science, and prov
ing itself n of the most powerful means

There was something m~iraculously swift
in the manner in which the old lady
dressed the dolls. She seemed as though
under a spell of -enchantment, for she sang
songs and kept time with her needle, that
flashed in the light as she piled it to and
fro. When she had finished about the
fiftieth doll Ia the basket, she exclaimed:
1T is now August and l am SO far in
arrears with this work that | cannot
take the time to go to dinner, There
fore, bring me a cup OF strong green
tea.h One Of the plumpest of the little
girls brought the tea as requested, and
when the old lady hart enjoyed a sip or
two Of it she was enabled to work faster
thar ever, Finally she dressed the last
one in the basket, and when they were all
boxed and addressed. some one rang the
doorbell.
Say | am not able to see any one today"
The little girl backed out of the room, and
then the old lady smiled a pleasant smile,
while working away with renewed energy.
Even when she came to a japanese doll,
which she did occasionally, she dressed it
with as much skill as a Jap could have
done. She never paused in her work upon
the day when she reflected hat it was late
in August, with Russia untouched and
New York in the same condition. with the
exception of the towns Of Callicoon and
Painted Post, until an expressman called
with a large load of dry goods to be con
verified into dolls dresses.
Then she paused longenough to examine
the goods contained in the package, and
she smiled as only a woman can smile
while examining silks and s%atins, or even
gingham.
sOf course | am the leader of the fash
ions in dolls clothing" she soliloquized
with great pride, 'and l must keep the
dolls in such charming gowns that they
will command the admiration of all lovers
of dress from Paris, France, to Paris, KY.
Inever grow tired of dressing dolls, and |
often feel thankful that | have nothing
else to do and that nothing can interfere
with its progress"

when offered the gold medal for TIE best
record Of scholarship declined it on the
ground that such a distinction was not a
good thing for the recipient on the col
lege. He thought it an '.invidlous dis
t%iaction among men who had all studied

that it tended to 'overstudy and un-

The High Water Mark.

One of the prettiest and most appro-
pirate little monuments in the United
States is the so called high water
mark" tablet at Gettysburg. 1t was fur
nished by little contributions from the
twelve states whose troops repulsed the
Pickett charge, and the main feature is
an open bronze book, giving a brief ac-
count of the charge and repulse. On
the sides Of the plinth are plates giving
the names of all the Union and Coufed-
crate regiments that participated in the
action. General j. 3. Batchelder, the
historian, designed the tablet and super
intended its erection.

of dressing a handsome wax doll whose
smile was lost in the roses Of her cheeks.
When the old lady had trimmed the dress
and made it set just as she thought it
should, she held the doll off at arms length
and looked it over critically. When she
was quite sell satisfied with it, she touched
