WHERE ARES CONE FROM
sAxONY HAS A MONOPOLY IN THE
MANUFACTURE OF
THE TOYS
GOES FROM FATHER TO SON
Whole Families Labor, Generation
After Generation, in Reproducing
Father NOah,s Collection
of Animals.

Noah's ark that universal toy of child
hood, is made mostly in SaXony, Ger
many, says the New York Sun, and it
and all its inmates are made by hand,
in the homes of people who work in the
fields in summer and who. whole fami-
lies together, old and young, devote their
time in winter to the production of these
toys. Both arks and animals, are not,
however, produced under the same roof
Some families make nothing but the arlIs
while others make only animals. Arks
and animals are subsequently assembled
in the establishment of some toy manu-
--~turer who supplies the people with
many, if not ALL of the materials used
in making the toys, who buys the fin
ished products and who sorts and packs
them and makes them ready for mar
ket
1t may be that family for successive
generations has been engaged in making
ark animals from models handed down
from father to son. The whole family
takes part in the work, father, mother
and all the children. Every one does
something, what he can; and so a single
family brings to bear a considerable
amount of labor. 1t Is really a little do
mestic factory, employing, all told, say
han dozen industrious pairs of hands;
and they turn out a great number of fir-
ished animals.
The wood from which the animals are
to be made is first cut into a block Of
such Dimensions that animals of the kind
and size required can be cut from crcss
sections OF it Such a block might be
for instance six inches long, an inch and
a quarter wide and an inch high. Sup
pose there were to be made from this
block cows. The solid block Is dug out
and gOuged out lengthWise and uniformly
from end to end, in such manner that
looking now at the end there is seen there
the outlines of a COW; a slice of the right
thickness cut from the block will be a
cow in the rough; the next slice would
be just the same; and from the block
there would be sliced off cows until it
was used up. The same method would
be followed in making horses, goats pigs
and so on.
Then these little animals in the rough
get touch or two with knife to fasE-
ion them further into the likeness of the
animal they are made to resemble Then
they are painted and perhaps vanished,
and once, or, maybe, twice a week. the
finished product of the family is taken
to the establishment of the manufacturer
where the workers get for the animals
cash on delivery.
NOahs arkS thus made are produced
with marvellous cheapness; there are, in
fact, not many things made in the world
which, considering the labor involved, are
sold so cheaply as this toy Of worldwide
use. There can be bought at wholesale

The explorer relates how, on coming to
one of the Botocudo villages, he was

removed the ornament and thrust out his
tongue through a hole below his mouth
while the teeth of the man grinnel at
him from the upper mouth. The travel
er naturally made investigation, and as
already stated, found that the extra
ordinary custom was general through
out the tribe. though he could find no
reason for the operation, unless it was

The chinese puzzIe.

Washington. Oct 22.-The state de-
partmept today made public the cor
respondence which has taken place
between itself and the French govern
ment since the original French note re-
specting China, which laid down the
terms suggested by France as a basis
of negotiation for settlement. This
last correspondence consists of. two
notes exchanged by Secretary of State
Hay and M. Thiebaut last week, put
ting in formal shape, certain verbal
statements that the powers bind them
selves again to preserve the Chinese
territorial integrity and maintain the
open door, exactly the objects aimed
at in the British-German agreement or
alliance which was made public last
week. While this note by Secretary
Hay bears the date of October 10Th,
and the British-German agreement is
assigned the date of October 10th.
The action of this government was
taken in ignorance of the agreement
and it Is entirely possible it may be
the means of bringing about the dis
closure of its purposes. Our sugges.
tion indicates the favorable response
by the United States government to
the invitation to join Great Britain
and Germany in the objects specified

and his crulsadcs against rOwdyism on
the ball field are frequent. From the
time when he took an active part IN
starting the national game more than
twoscore years ago up to the present
he has made baseball the subject Of
careful and intelligent study. He
formulated the first set Of rules used
for the game AT the request of the first
set Of magnaics. who were IFS pro
motors. and modelled them on the reg
ulations in use for cricket at that time.
As an illustration hc cites the rule
which provided for many years that a
batsman should be given base on
nine balls. Instead Of using the term
balls Mr.. Chadwick had the word
widcs In his original draft. and ii was
eliminated AZ the first baseball meet
Ing as savoring too much of the Eng
fish game.
For years Mr.. Chadwick was the
principal rulemaker and not a step
was taken by those financially az the
head OF baseball except approved by
him. He strongly advocated the dou-
bic umpire system and now believes
that Mr.. Lynch should be appointed
supervisor of the staff.
