MARVELLOUS TOY COACH.
1t Was Driven About on a Table Top
for the Amusement of a Young Prince.

The following description of a coach
clan, for the amusement of Louis NV,
when IL child. reminds one of the Won
derful equipages occasionally men
toned in fairy tales.
The coach was small one. drawn
by two horses. and contained the Inquire
of Il lady within. with a footman and
page behind.
When this machine was placed at
the extremity of table of proper
size. the coachman smacked his whip
and the horses instantly set off, NOV
ln@ their legs in natural manner,
ana lracging the coach after them.
When the coach reached the opposite
edge IF the table. it turned sharply at
4 right angle and proceeded along the
adjacent edge. AS soon as it arrived
opposite the place where the King sat.
it stopped. the page descended and
opened the coach door. the lady 3Jight-
ed and. with a curtsey, presented Il
petition. which she held in her hand,
to the King.
After waiting some time she again
curtseyed and returned to the car
having resumed his place behind, the
coachman whipped his horses and
drove off.
The footman, who had previously
alighted ran after the carriage and
jumped Up behind into his former
Mace

durability is another thing.
Washable belts are dear to the
hearts of economists, who are not al
ways in the minority at summer re-
sorts. The canvas belt is an old stand
by. and the shopkeepers say the de-
mand for elastic belts continues.
These elastic belts ought to be popular
with stout women.
Perhaps the newest thing in this
line is the "Zaza" belt. " hich is at
tracing considerable attention. This
belt folds up, being constructed with
hinges at the side instead Of rings
Inc hinges are maze TO correspond
with the trimmings. For bicyclers and
golfers these belts are really desirable
There is a certain kind of white
leather used for belts that can be
washed most successfully and without
leaving ugly stains or a bargain

water is used when the right belt is
found.
Seal belts. green kid and patent
leather. with padded harness buckle,
are stunning implements for the tailor

The coin belt is worn by those who
can afford it. The Mexican dollar is
the most popular coin. owing to its
small value. Old Roman coins imita-

We're ineffective against an armored

strong assault, but it soon returned,
accompanied by q British mounted
contingent and the lighting was re-

Fighting still continues, the Beers
holding their positions well. A dozen
Beers were killed or wounded, but the
British casualties cannot be asHertained.
Heavy firing can be heard south of
