MAKING TOYS.
The Art Descending From One Generation
to Another In st. UlrIch.

Tho Art Descending From One Generation
to Another In st. Ulrich.
Miss Amelia B. Edwards, in her "Un-
trodden Peaks, :" mentions many an in
teresting visit to the homes of the work
ing people of st. Ulrich, where so many
toys are made.
In ono house, runs the account, we
found an old, old woman at work, Mag
dalena Paldauf by name She carved
cats, dogs, wolves, sheep, goats and ele-
plants. She has made those six animals
her whole life long, and she has nc. idea
Of how to cut anything else. She makes
them in two sizes, and she turns out as
nearly as possible thousand of them
year.
She has no model or drawing of any
kind to work by, but goes on steadily,
unerringly using gouges of different
sizes and shaping out her cats, dogs,
wolves, sheep, goats and elephants with
an ease and an amount of truth to ma
ture that would be clever if it were not
utterly mechanical. Magdalena Paldauf
learned from her mother how to carve
those six animals, and her mother had
learned, in like manner, from her grand
mother. Magdalena has now taught the
art to her own granddaughter, and SO it
will go on being transmitted for gener-
ations.
In another house Miss Edwards found
the whole family carving skulls and
crossbones for fixing at the bases Of
crucifixes, for the wood carving of Grod-
ner Thai is religious i'll its nature as
well as amusing. In other houses there
were families that carved rocking horses
or dolls or other toys, and in still other
houses there were families of painters.
In one house we found about a doz-
en- girls painting gray horses with black
points. In another house they painted
only red horses with white points. 1t is
a separate branch Of the trade to paint
saddles and headgear. A good hand will
paint IL dozen horses a day, each horse
being about foot in length, and for
these she is paid 55 soldi, or about 2s. Sd.

THE YELLED WARBLER.
A Street Singer That Puzzled tho French
Capital For Three Months.

Once, and once only, was it given to
Paris to DO puzzled by street singer.
The apparition only lasted three months,
but while It lasted it was most perplex-
ing to us. One evening all the loungers
ON the boulevards, who were slipping
their beer, on "strangling a parrot" as
the French phrase hath it to describe
the process of imbibing dose of that
subtle poison, absinth, were mildly
bored by observing the approach of three
street musicians. One man trundled
piano, second carried Il violin and q
third, a tall, slight woman in deep
mourning, her Grape veil sweeping over
her face, took up her station between
them. They paused and prepared for
action, whereupon many people, know
ing the vileness and discord of street
music, made ready to leave, when, to
the utter amazement of all, to the ac-
compartment of two fairly good instru-
ments, arose in tho night air an exqui-
sitely modulated and very powerful fe-
male voice, singing, with heartbreak
in every note, the wild wall of Traviata
over her approaching death, "Gran Dio,
morir 81 giovane.
Perhaps the voice gained by the sur
prise of the public, perhaps it was aided
by the stiffness of the sultry air, but
certainly it sounded most divine. Thun-
ders Of applause and a rain of coin, both
gold and silver, rewarded tho trio's eff
forts, but they never gave but two songs
per evening and then disappeared The
adventurous men who followed the sup
pie grace of tho woman's tall figure re-
turned discounted, scared away by the
truculent aspect Of her two companions
During that whole summer the
strange band would reappear every
night, and oyory night would reap a
harvest, but when the summer departed
they, too, vanished and never again re-
appeared The Yelled Songstress, as she
was called, camo from the darkness and
vanished into the night and who she
was or where she vanished is mys-
terry. OF course the police knew, but tho
archives of tho prefecture are sacred
from the gaze of the profane, and as
that is the case, and as Paris forgets as
speedily as she adores wildly, we had
the arithmetical puzzle, maud, the
lightning calculator, to distract our at
tention that autumn in front of tho cafe,
so tho Yelled Songstress sank out Of
sight, and tho waves of Oblivion have
closed over her now and forever. Paris

Happening to be visitor in the

ed the day the house was opened to the

of it, He had invited 200 OF 300 friends
to banquet on the roof and stood at

came. 1t was late when up walked q

Cyrus Field in his life and had not only
not received an invitation to the ban
quet, but knew nothing about such an
affair. He was merely looking around
the building.

Professor Hoilprin Corrects Some Popular
misconceptions About It.

Professor Heiiprin Correots Some Popular
misconceptions About It.
AS with many of tho foreign countries,
there is wrong impression existing in
the minds even of we'll bred persons
with reference to the nature of the PEN
insula of Greenland. 1t is supposed to be
a cherries waste of leo and snow, and
indeed land of desolation. On first ac-
quaintanee the country does not seem
calculated to inspire enthusiasm, but
this feeling soon wears away and the
returned traveller from Greenland is
smitten with "the arctic fever" the
principal symptom of which is q long
ing to return to these northern shores.
Professor Angelo Heilprin, in his inter-
esting account of the Peary relief expe-
dition conducted by him, thus speaks Of
Greenland;
"Once the foot has been set upon the
mirrored rocks the charms of this garden
spot one by one unfold themselves. Tho
little patches of green are aglow with
bright flowers, rich in the colors which
bounteous nature has provided. The
botanical eye readily distinguished
among these mountain pink, the dwarf
rhododcndron, several pieces of heath,
tho cIowfoot, chickweed and poppy,
with their varying tints of red, white
and yellow. Gay butterflies fit through
tho warm sunshine, casting their shad-
ows over forests Of diminutive birch
and willow.
"Hero and there stray bee huns in
search Of sweets among tho pollen
grains, while, from afar, woven through
the music Of gurgling rills and brooks,
como the melodious strains of thousands
of mosquitoes, who ever cheerfully lend
their aid to give voice to the landscape.
Above this peaceful scene tower tho dark
red cliffs of basalt, which from height
Of 1000 feet look down ON a sea Of
Mediterranean loyelinoss, blue as the
waters of Villafranca and calm as the
surface Of an interior lake. Over its
bosom float hundreds of ioebergs, tho
output Of the great Jacobshavn glacier,
90 miles to the eastward, scattered like
flocks Of white sheep i'll pasture.
"Such was tho summer picture Of the
region about Disco rs it was found by
the writer i'll two successive seasons.
There was little of that Greenland look
about it which we habitually associate
with the region, nothing of those terrors
which to tho average mind reflect the
qualities of the arctic world"

HOMEMADE TRUNKS.
Tho Scheme Of Chicago Man to Beat the
Railroads ON Baggage.

hallrOhus On OabBdBes
A caller dropped into the Brightside
flat and found Mr.. and Mrs. Brightside
and their wise little terrier, Ming, all
assembled in the kitchen. Mr.. Bright
side was busy boring holes with an au-
ger in the end of good sized packing
box, while Mrs. Brightside and the dog,
seated side by side on the floor, regard
ed him with intense though possibly
hypocritieal admiration. Near by stood
another packing box with four holes in
each end through which loops of strong
rope had been so fastened as to make
good, serviceable handles.
"This is about the greatest crisis Of
my life,'' observed Mr.. Brightside.
"How do you suppose got that rope in
without opening the box? Just figure on
| it now. +"
AS tho caller belongs to the sex which
has never produced great epic poem,
discovered continent or voted for the
| governor of Illinois, she gave up the
| problem with cheerful meekness born
of centuries of acknowledged incapaci-
ty. Mr.. Brightside, having finished bor-
ing, produced bent wire and piece
of string, one end of which was fasten-
ed to few feet of rope. With the wire
he proceeded to insert the string into
one hole and wiggle it cut another By
means of the string the rope was then
towed into position, the whole process
ending triumphantly in another pair Of
| handles.
"But what are you doing it for?"
"He's making trunks, explained
Mrs Brightside "It's his latest spe-
cialty.
"The only trouble with me, said Mr.
Brightside, with apparent irrelevance,
"is that I'm lazy"
''But what ON top of the prairie are
you making trunks out of packing boxes
| for? Cui bono, you know.
| ITO save freight. I'm sending them
to friend in Wisconsin, you see I've
| got some other friends starting out there

dies ON they can take them as baggage.
| Otherwise the railway company won't
let them. Can your female mind assim-
ilate that fact? Taking it by and large"
| he added modestly, 'it's beautiful
! piece of work. p"
The caller joined the intent audience
on the floor and contemplated Mr..
| Brightside with wonder, love and praise.

Women who have fancy for heavier
perfumes than delicate toilet waters and
clean smelling colognes, and who affect
some special essence, are not always
aware, perhaps, that few of the flowers
after which their favorite odors are
named play any part in contributing to
the rich fragrance.
