CHRISTMAS DELIGHT.-With round
eyes Of wonder throngs of children
daily gaze at the marvellous playthings
which are to be found in the toy stores,
and which they earnestly hope their own
kindly saint may see fit to bestow upon
them as Christmas token. Whatever
the heart of child can desire is to be
found. Dolls big and little, baby dolls
in long clothes and with all the accom-
panying necessaries of babyhood from
coach to nursing bottle are to been seen.
Paris dressed maidens as large as your
year-old specimen of the human variety,
smile alluringly, while wee rubber
ones, indestructible companions of
the Juvenile playtime and the
mechanical wonders that talk, walk,
go to sleep and smile to the
amazement of the live children
who gaze upon them, are all here wait
ing to be carried home and make
Christmas day to be remembered by
the little one to whose stocking such
good fortune has been given.
Toy kitchens, fully equipped and able
to teach the little girl by play the real
principles of culinary art, appeal to the
mothers who are anxious for their
daughters to learn all that is necessary
to make them useful women. Theatre,
with scenes, actors and every neces-
sary stage appointment suggest many
happy hours on rainy Saturdays when
the express wagons, sleds and skates
cannot be used. Iron toys of all sorts,
from the single cart with one horse to
a full train of cars or a dashing fire en-
CINE. appeal to the buyer who wishes
to give something that juvenile curios-
ity or carelessness cannot manage to
break the first day. Then there are
full soldier outfits, drums, trumpets,
Christmas tree decorations, German
notices and favors, books, games, in
fact everything that can possibly be
deemed essential to really Jolly iuve.
nile Christmas. Such a stock to choose
from makes holiday buying sasy and
it is certain that even though the child
to be favored by a gift has almost
everything that one can imagine in the
toy line, there will be found in the
collection some novelty that be or she
would be delighted to possess.

SATURDAY EVENING. DEC. 10. 1895

TIE FOLLOWING members OF the
committee on foreign relations OF the
TT s. Senate yesterday voted to recog-
nize the independence OF the negro and
white scalawag insurgents in Cub',
though they have none ofthe attributes
of government and though neither the
nersonnel or address of those to be re-
cogu zed is known: ,Messrs. Sherman,
FRYE. Davis, Cameron, Cullom and
Lodge, republicans, and Morgan, Tur-
pie and Mills, democrats. The Senate
nsed TO be the conservative branch of
the government, but great change has
come over the spirit of its dreams, and
it is now the lingo branch. and defes
the whole human race. The commit
tee referred to has succeeded in placing
the country in An awkward position,
inasmuch as its action must either be
repudiated by Congress, or war be en-
tered upon with Spain, the result OF
which, no matter what it would be in
the end at first could hardly be any
thing else than injurious to the United
States. And then, too, though nations
do not assist each other for sympathy,
in helping Spain other European coun-
tries might consider that they were
helping themselves, as, in case this
country should succeed in depriving
Spain of her American possessions, she
might be induced to attempt to do the
same with them.

Plans Being Mate for Proposed Improve
mant at Clayton.
As stated in The Gazette recently,
the idea of erecting new building at
Clayton for the accommodation of the
colored boys under the care of the Rev.
j. A. de Ruyter has been abandoned,
but preparations are now being made
for much greater and more compre-
hensive improvement to the home.
Architect George A. Loyett Of Phila-
delphia is engaged making plans for n
village, which will occupy an area of
about 10 acres. 1t will be known as u
cottage village and will be complete in
detail.
The specifications will call for several
cottages, in each one OF which ii IS in
tended 20 boys shall be domiciled,
a church, school, house for the
superintendent and also one for the
sisters. gymnasium, an infirmary, a
bakery, a laundry, kitchen, adining-
room and one or two minor buildings,
ia addition to which there will be an
electric light plant and water tank.
The plans will be submitted to Father
de Ruyter in about two weeks, but it
has not been decided when the con-
tracts will be given out.
1t is the intention to introduce light
manufacturing in the near future, but
the details for that feature have not
yet been determined.
