Primitive Toys.

The most primitive toy is the doll.
1t dates back to prehistoric times, and
is found in every part of the world.
This one would naturally expect to find.
A child, seeing its mother nursing other
younger children, would initiate the ex

weapons. again, are older than history.
Many of the other toys at present in
use date from the earliest times of
which we have any record. In the
tombs OF the ancient Egyptians, along
with painted dolls having movable
limbs, have been found marbles. leather
covered balls, elastic balls, and marion
cites moved by strings. Ancient Gree k
tombs furnish clay dolls, toy horses and
wooden carts and ships. In the Louvre
there are some Greco Roman dolls of
terra-cotta. with movable joints fastened
by wires. Greek babies had rattles
(platage). Greek boys played with
whipping toys. So did the boys in
ancient Rome Virgil Aen,: blk. viii.

So, directly after dinner. they set to

rock. But it was good deal larger
than it looked, really.

in no time" And he got stout stick

stick broke, and Herbie got fall, from
which he jumped up red and angry.

put his hands in his pockets. and watched
Hal and Had tug at it until their faces
we're red, too.
Then all three lifted together; but it
wasn't mite of use.

"And the littlest crowbar!" said Hal.
"And the shovel" said Herbie.
So Had hoed around it and Herbie
shoveled and Hal pushed the crowbar
under the rock, and bore down on it
with all his might. The afternoon was
very warm, and the three little scarlet
faces needed great deal of hopping

have spoken of Lord Nelson, and
of this great sailor many stories of
his spirit when boy are told. Some
of these tales must be viewed with
suspicion; one or two, perhaps, are
worth recalling. The lad joined an
expedition to the frozen sea under
the command of Captain Phillips,
afterward Lord Musgrave. One
night, when it was as bright as day
light, the ship lying hard and fast
amid the ice, young Nelson took his
gun and left the ship to shoot bear
which he had seen long way off.
Something went wrong with the lock
of his musket, whereupon he grasped
the weapon by the barrel, and gave
chase to the beast, which went off on
trot. Having killed the bear, the
boy returned to the ship, the Captain
of which reprimanded him for going
| upon the ice without leave, and with
stern couutenance asked what mo-
tive could have induced him to attack
with useless gun so formidable
beast as polar-bear. The young
hero's reply was to the point II
wished, sir" he said, ito get the skin

All boys who are acquainted with

and baronet. Ore story of his
fearlessness when lad recalls Hop
sons feat. He was nidshipman
aboard the Seahorse when she chased
and captured the French ship Sar-
tine. Much of the glory of that day
was owing to young Trowbridge,
who, watching his chance and shout
ing for followers, boarded the enemy
from the forecastle, and with his
own hands hauled down the French
colors. Perhaps not every command
er of a victorious ship would have
proved so frankly honorable as was
Captain Farmer of the Seahorse, for
afterwards, whilst dining with the
commander in chief, Sir Edward
Hughes, he checked the congratula-
tions he was being overwhelmed with
by saying that the victory was en-
tirely owing to the heroism of boy,
midshipman named Trowbridge.
Sir Edward was so struck and de-
lighted that he became the boys fast
friend, and was of signal help to him
in the earlier stages of his splendid
career. These and the like are sto-
ries which are true, and they should
be made known TO boys. My in
