ed the day the house was opened to the
public. Mr.. Field was extremely proud
of it. He had invited 200 OF 800 friends
to banquet ON the roof and stood at
the open hatchway to welcome all who
came. 1t was late when up walked a
man Of middle age who had never seen
Cyrus Field in his life and had not only
not received an invitation to the han
quet, but knew nothing about such an
affair. He was merely looking around
the building.
'You are just the man we all are
waiting for said Mr.. Field, holding
out his hand with a merry laugh.
"Come right along. The feast is ready.
Before the man could ask for az ex-

ed him with intense though possibly
hypeeritical 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

As the calleT belongs 10 the sex which

problem with cheerful lneekness born
of centuries of acknowledged incapaci-
ty. Mr. Brightside. having flushed bor-

of string, one end of which was fasten-
ed to a few feet Of rope With the wire
he proceeded to insert the string into
one hole aud 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 il for?"

MAKING TOYS.
The Art Descending From One Generate

Miss Amelia b. Edwards, in her I'm
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 one 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 Gle
plants. She has made those six animals
her whole life long, and she has no idea
of how to cut anything else. She makes
them in two sizes, and she turns out as
nearly as possible thousand of them a
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

In another house Miss Edwards found
the whole family carving skulls and
crossbones for fixing at the bases OF
crucifixes, for the wood carving If Cirod-
ner Thai is religious III its nature as
we'll 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.

only red horses with white points. II is

Some hearts beas whore some hearts break.

Some will faint where some VIII light;

COX hands fold where other hands

And so through ages and through lands
Move on the two extremes Of life.
Some feet halt where some feet tread
La tireless march a thorny way;
Some struggle ON where some have fed;
Some seek when others shun the fray.
Some swords rust where others clash;
Some fall back where some move on:
Some flags furl where others fash
Until the battle has been won.
Some sleep ON while others keep
The vigils of the true and brave.

half the gilded youth In New York, has
caught the tide at the food, and everybody
In London from Mayfair to the docks Is
humming or whistling Salute My BIZ

nightly at three or four music halls. The
Qhanteuse appears In character-that is,

verses:
You see wear the rational dress.

When on my "bike" make o stir,
Girls cry, "My world" men cry " 90, 'erf''
And in this garb they scarce can tell
Whether I'm boy or gell.

When they see me on me bike,
But I'm es cool as any icicle.
They can cha6 me all they like
But never ''get the spike,"
I only say, "Salute my bicyclei'
You've seen me riding In the streets
Well how do you like mech, boysf
The way use me hands and feets,
A little bit tricky-eh, boys2
But oft feel me anger rise
Through hearing vulgar peoples cries
I aOmetimes wish meself in rags
