4 CITY OF DoLLMAKERs.

At Sonneberg, which is in the heart Of
Germany, all the inhabitants are in the
business of doll making .l2, 900 people
are all more or less dollmakers- and
among them they produce no fewer than
$4,000, 900 dozen don babies every year.
IL is hard To realize what an enormous
quantity that is.
After this 1t sounds odd To say that in
Sonneberg it takes eighty persons TO
make doll. Yet such is the fact. In
Germany labor is subdivided as much as
possible, or, in other words, doll
maker does one little thing from years
end to years end, aud thus it comes
about that it takes eighty people to make
doll.
Little boys, when they enter the some
berg factories, spend long time in
painting nails on dolls fingers, for which
they are paid about twenty five cents a
week Some girls do nothing but fill
bodies with chopped hay or straw. Men
pass their lives in painting Dolly's lashes
and brows, and others in putting rouge
on her cheeks. SO it is with other parts
of doll each is done by one person.
The dolls wigs are made by girls at
Munich, and their eyes come from little
town only few miles from Sonneberg
and are made by men in their own
homes
Endless are the varieties of dolls.
Every Sonnobcrg manufactures has about
one hundred designs. Taste varies, and
besides in exporting dolls many things
have to be taken into consideration. A
wax one cannot be sent to very hot or
very cold country. In the former il
would melt, in the latter crack. Then
If doll has rubber joints she cannot be
sent long sea voyage, for on arrival at
her destination she would be armlcss and
legless. A sea journey also takes the

LITTLE TIM.

Freddy lived in fort out on tho
prairics. His father was a soldier, who
rode big horse, and wore sword that
ratified and jingled against his high
boots as he walked.
One day, as Frcddy's father was rid
ing. his horse stumbled nc n little hole
made by one Of the prairie dogs, that
live underground. He heard little
squeak, aud looking down saw n small
animal resembling large rat without a
tail
He was sitting on his hind legs, and
did not seem at oil afraid. Freddy's
father took him home to his little son,
who had so longed for pet Of this kind
Freddy did not know where TO keep
him, and he asked one OF the soldiers
what to do with him. Sergeant Brown
told him TO let the creature dig hole in
the ground near his quarters, where the
soldiers could watch him, ms they are
fond of pets; and he named him Tim.
Soon Tim felt quite Mt home. Every
morning when the bugles sounded for
the soldiers to get up, Mr.. Tim would
come out from his hole, and perch up on
his hind legs, and afterwards would
watch the men hurrying to breakfast.
He seemed TO know what this meant,
for, soon after, good Sergeant Brown
brought him some bread. and perhaps
an onion TO ton off with. But after a
while, when Master Freddy called him,
Tim would come out and sit up very
straight, expecting something extra, Of
course. Freddy always had something
better than an onion, and treated him 20
q piece OF tomato or cake.
Life would have been very pleasant
for little Tim, had there been no horrid
dogs about. But, alas! there were; and
they seemed very enyious OF the atten-
tion lie received. One morning Freddy's
dog Pat, whom he never would have
thought so cruel, jumped at poor little
Tim, and bit him 80 badly. that he lay
down and died Freddy cried bitterly
he whipped Pat and locked him up.
But what good could it do little Tim,
who no longer was up in the morning
early 20 hear the soldiers blow their
bugles before breakfast
And good Sergeant Brown said, 81
would rather have given fifty dollars
than had poor Tim killed. - Nursery.

Bank Note Microbes.

Two Havanese bacteriologists, Drs.
Acosta and Gronde-Rossi, conceived the
idea, surely an original one, Of stud ying
the microbes Of bank notes. They have
published the result Of their researches
on the notes OF tho Spanish bank Of Ha-
vana. They have proved, in the first
place, that the weight of these notes
increases in the course OF their ciroula-
tion, by reason of the addition OF foreign
matter. At the end of certain time the
meteorological analysis demonstrated o
considerable increase in the number OF
microbes; in two cases this number rose
to more than 10000. The physicians
discovered specially the presence Of q
septic bacillus, which rapidly kills ami
mails innoculated with it; this, to speak
properly. is the specific microbe of the
bank note, and Talamon thinks that the
name bacillus septicus aureus could be
Justly given TO 1t.
Messrs. Acosta and Grande- Rossi have,
besides, recognized distinctly in the bank
notes examined by them eight patho-
genie species, among which are the
bacillus OF tuberculosis, that OF diph-
theria, and the streptococcus Of erysip-
elias. The two baoteriologists do not
say what denominations Of the notes
they experimepted with. 1t may be
supposed, however, that they did not
use notes OF 1, 900 or even 100 francs. II
the notes were Of that e.ze, II would be
difficult to verify their experiments ia
all laboratories, the means OF which in
general do not permit Of such prodigal-
ity. What use can the Havanese make
Of their bank notes that they become

The King of Beasts.

Nevertheless, if we quit heraldry for
fact, and 20 by the testimony of travel
ers and hunters, it is very doubtful
whether the lion deserves his magnificent
reputation. 1t is his appearance, no
doubt, which has gained for him the ap-
pellation of liking OF Beasts," with all
the regal honor pertaining to it. Cor
tainly he looks every inch a king"
Nothing can be finer; the fancy itself
could conceive nothing more fittingly
represented of majesty than the full
grown male lion, gazing with great ycl-
low eyes, which seem To know no fear,
and the ample honors of his shaggy name
wrapped round his massive front and
forearms. He looks like the embodi-
ment 10y Nature of lordliness and mag
naminity, and he has been adopted as
such in all literature and poetry from
Homer and Hschylus down 10 the "lion
comiquc" of our music halls. Yet he
is only a cat-a great cat-after all, and
those who know him in his native wilds
give very different character Of 'felis
leo" from popular conceptions.
We do not wish TO calumnate "a
creature so intimately connected with
British story, and so dignified in bearing
and behavior, for nobody can deny that
the lion is great gentleman in his man
ncrs. Nevertheless, African sportsmen
relate that he can show himself as cow
ardly as he is cruel; that he will abandon
his consort and cubs in moment Of ex-
treme danger, and that he scarcely ever
charges straight home upon anybody who,
armed or unarmed, has the presence of
mind TO await his onset. He is de-
scribed as very nervous and very cunning,
and dreading beyond everything the
superior prowess of the white man.
The early Dutch settlers at the Cape
speak of lions prowling round the fort
at night Sin such numbers as though
they would take it by storm" Now one
must 90 very far into the African
"veldt' TO SEQ a lion, and the strange
fact is that he has learned the craft of
silence, and is seldom or never heard to
lift up his mighty voice except in the far
wilderness where the hunters have not
come except singly. Thus it is written
in an African guide book: Though his
footprints may frequently be seen near
the fountains OF Lokaron and Boatla-
mama, and he will sometimes venture to
carry away an OK from wagon span
thereabouts, he rarely or never makes his
presence known by his roars, having
learned apparently that it will only have
the effect of frightening of the few timid
antelopes upon which all hopes Of re-
plenishing his lafder depend, or, worse
still, OF betraying his position to his in
veterate enemy and prosecutor, man. -

LUCK OF 4 BOY HUNTER.

Leland Mabie, lad of fourteen years,
while hunting on the divide between the
east fork Of Browns creek and Duncan's
fork of Cottonwood, had hair-breadth
escape Friday of last week. He came
upon two cubs. who were climbing q
tree, and promptly shot and killed them.
He had no sooner dispatched them when
the mother came rushing out of the brush
near by. So. sudden and unexpected
was the old bears appearance that young
Mabie did not have time to get his rifle
in readiness To fire. Luckily he had 3
fierce dog with him, who promptly came
to his masters rescue just as the bear was
about to clasp young Leland and hug
him 10 death. The bear and the dog
had it for a time, while the young hunter
stood by and viewed the encounter.
Finally the effect of the dogs teeth on
the launches of the bear had the de
sired effect and she left the field to the
boy and the dog. Young Mabie took
one of the cubs, which weighed about
seventy five pounds, back with him TO
camp. where he was the hero of the day.

Mexican lady who belonged to a prom
inent family. The story is that through
her Governor Pesqucira induced Crabb to
raise command of Americans to go into
Sonora and assist him in gaining victory
over the opposition. Capt. Crabb raised
party, sending "A portion by water to
Libertadt, on the Gulf of California, and
with about one hundred men came across
the country, expecting to join the Others
on the Gulf coast. Soon after he got on
the field, Pasqueira crushed his foes,
and knowing that he would be severely
criticised for calling Americans to his
aid, denied having anything to do with
bringing Crabb and his men into the
country. He sent Gabilondo and his
battalion 10 escort Crabb and his party TO
American soil.
In the meantime Crabb had started
back, but was overtaKen by Gabilondo
and his troops at Caborica. Without
warning the latter opened fire on Crabb's
party, and brisk fight took place, sew
eral being killed on each side. Crabb
and his men took shelter in the old
church, and, though largely in the mi
nority, made il warm for Gabilondo.
Finally the latter, under cover of a flag
of truce, proposed that il the Americans
would lay down their arms he would
peacefully escort them To the American
line. Crabb complied, but no sooner had
they laid down their arms than they
were formed in line, marched to
the south side of the church
made to stand back up against
the wall. and all of them shot, except a
boy seventeen years old, who managed to
escape. Some time after Crabbs tragic
death his wife returned TO Mexico, and
was stabbed 10 death from behind one
night while walking along the street in
Guayamas 1t was thought that the deed
was done by an agent OF Pessueira and
Gabildondo, because she knew too much
about Crabb's going into Mexico.
Several other murders were credited to
Gabilondo, including the brutal murder
of customs officers while he was collector
at Casabe. His latest escapade was the
murder of prominent merchant at I'm
urls recently, who had been elected pres
ident OF the town. Gabilondo and his
son hired policeman TO call the mer
chant aud shoot him. When arrested
the policeman told the whole story, and
he was killed by young Gabilondo, who
escaped to the City of Mexico, where he
died recently. The death of the old man
wipes out the Gabilondo family. and no
regrets are expressed on either side of
the liue, and especially among Ameri-
cans. .-lGlobe- Democrat.
