The Mashonaland Doll.

No doubt the earliest manufactured
toy of all was the doll. Little girls
play with dolls everywhere, and have
always done so. Indeed, among the
Bechuanans and Basutos at the present
time married women carry dolls until
they are supplanted by real children.
There is for it's possessor curious in
dividuality about doll, altogether un-
accountable to other people. How Oft
en- may it be observed that a child
will neglect the splendid new five shil-
ling waxen beauty, with its gorgeous
finery, and cling faithfully to the dis
reputable, noseless wreck of rags that
has been it's favorite hitherto! Some
thing causes other children, besides
Helen's babies, to dislike "buyed dol
lies" even in the presence of an article
made of an old towel. This some
thing, whatever it is, is doubtless a
great comfort to the small girls Of
Mashonaland. 1t is an innocent, arm
less sort of affair, without any such dis
figurement as waist or shoulders might
cause, no knee joints to get unfastened,
and nothing at the end of its legs to
cause expense at the shoemaker's. AS
regards dress, 1t is inexpensive, the
whole suit of apparel consisting of a
piece of string threaded through hole

Novelty In Type Material.

A new idea in type material is the
combination of glass with celluloid or
hard rubber. The body of the type is
made of rubber or celluloid upon which
glass-topped letters are firmly cement
ed. In order that the face of the type
in the form may not touch, the ex-
treme face is trifie smaller than the
body portion. Great advantages are
claimed for this sort Of type, among
them being that glass will wear very
much longer than metal. and the print
will therefore be sharper and clearer.
With the slightly elastic base and the
small sections in which the letters are
made there is but little danger OF
breakage. even with very rapid worA
