THE DOLL BABY TRADE.
Idols Of Little Children That Never
Go Out of Fashion,
(From the New Orleans Times Dtmoerat)

(From the New Orleans Times Dsmoerat)
Dolls are one thing that never go out
CT fashion, said a local merchant who
handles a big stock of toys every holiday
season. "Of course the sales increase as
the city grows larger but Otherwise they
show scarcely any 1uctuation. Just now
we are beginning to get in our supply for
next Christmas. l dare say that seems like
taking time by the forelock, but the staple
DOLL mean the cheaper variety, which
retails at from to 80 cents and makes
up seven-eighths Of the sales-is manu-
featured almost exclusively in Germany
and we have to get in our orders early.
That grade of doll has Unified American
ingenuity. Our manufacturers have tried
time and again to get into the field; they
have built special machines and perfected
all sorts CT scientific. labo--saving pro-
cesses. but they have never been able 10
compete with the plodding German peas
ants. who do everything by hand, yet
manage TO undersell the world.
Cheap dolls are the sole product OF
two or three German toy towns, and the
craft is handed down from generation tC
generation. Naturally they have reduced
economy to wonderful science. To Illus
trate. they make a doll 40 inches high
for so marks a dozen, which is about Is
cents in cur money. To be exact, tbs
price is l TIE cents per doll. No self-re-
spectirg American machine would turn out
doll at such a figure. How are they
made? Well. the body is a coarse, cotton
bag. stuffed with excelsior and daubsd
with 2 sort OF sizing or mat. to make 1,
washable. The legs. arms, and head are
papier mache. The head is dipped in melt
ed wax and the hair is painted on. When
the doll IS put together it is slipped into
a little shirt and is ready for the trade A
very good dressed doll, 7-10 inches high
is made for 20 % cents a dozen, and a G.
inch jointed doll for 10 cents. At those
prices competition is idle. Of course, the
dolls cost a good deal more to lay down or
our counters. We have to pay duty and
carriage and buyers fees ard a lot OF in
cidentals; but. with all that, they are vast
ly cheaper than any other product
Where the American manufacturer gets
his inning is on the higher grades and the
mechanical toys. There We beat the world"

BROUGHT UP ON THE BOTTLE.
Tommy Atkins Thought 1t Was a
Rlonn.ing Ink RottIe.

(From the Golden Penny Magazine-)
Except 10 those who have resided in In
dia it may not be known that the majority
of assistant surgeons in the Indian medi
cal services are Eurasians or half-castes,
who, however, are extremely sensitive to
any allusion being made to their color. At
the base hospital at Rawal Pindi there was
one poor fellow Of the Norfolk regiment
who had his thigh shot through during the
Dargal engagement. and who had to under
go a very serious operation in consequence,
which left him very weak and also exceed
ingly irritable. Ore morning the assistant
surgeon. who. by the way, was as black
as a crow. came TO dress the injured thigh,
and, being in a hurry, was perhaps not as
careful as he ought to have been over the
operation. The patient grumbled freely at
the pain he was suffering.
For goodness sake. don't grouse tTom-
my Atkins synonym for grumbling), man"
said the impatient apothecary, how were
you brought up, by hand or by bottle?" he
continued. aarcastically.
by hand said his patient. "and what
about you-were you brought up by hand?"
NO lad" said the medico, 'by bottle"
Il should think so. too" promptly an
swered the young soldier. and a blooming
ink bottle at that wasn't it?'
There was general roar OF laughter in
the ward at this sally, but the wounded
Tommy had very good reason to be glad
when the order came for him to be sent
home. for the black apOthecary never for
gave him.

From the London Mail3

"Oil is a penny a gallon dsarer tosay.

That is what you hear in most shops,
just now. II may bs oil or ivory, bed
steads or beeswax, bones or borax. TIE
seller wants more for all of them, and you
must pay or go without
Oils of all kinds have risen so steadily
that some distributing agencies in the city
are ceasing TO run their oil-driven motors
and are reyerting TO more primitive horse
flesh. Even lubricatlng oil that i year
ago was IS. Cd ton is now 9s. Linseed
oil has risen in value 70 per cent. re-
fired cottonseed oil has gone up from 1ss
to 25s, and even olive oil has risen from
30s to 35s. In all cases these are the
rises in the Wholesale market Naturally
they are much greater by the time they
reach the retail buyer.
Men are going about today asking each
Other the reason OF all this. There are
many csuses, all of which have worked
together. First and greatest is the rise in
the price of coal. Coal is the motive
power OF everything today. Coal rose be-
cause there was a great demand for it
owing to the genrall boom in trade. ard
because the coal owners and distributors
are so united that they can force the pub
lie 10 submit to their terms.
The war threw trade out Of gear in va
rious ways. Numbers OF ships were taken
from their ordinary work to serve as mill
itary transports This made shipping
scarce. and so freights rose. As freights
rose, all foreign goods brought into our
markets became dear. Shipbuilding and
railway activity created Il great demand
for metals The iron masters had to pay
more for their coal and more for their
labor. so they raised their prices. THIS
has made every article IN iron or steel
goods dearer. Unless the iron market col
lapses. they Will go higher stili.

THE CITY OF sEGAN.
Some Points Concerning the Old Cap
itnl Of Chin

| rom the LONDON Spect1tOr.l
The Chinese do not forget, and to thsm
| Segan will seem a more natural resi-
dence for the Emperor than Pekin itself.
which. after all, is, to race with whom
| time does not count. a city Of yesterday.
| 1t was selected because of its comparative
| nearness to the seats of Manehu power, a
| reason which since the advance of Russia
has died away. Segan is ready for the
reception of the most ceremorious and
luxurious court in Asia. The inmates OF
the Imperial palace have lived a secluded
life until the idea of change appalls them
| as it appalls nuns.
The climate of Segan is said to BE- il
viting. The city is full OF palaces. which
have been carefully kept up: it is b5tter
supplied with provisions even than Pslsin,
and, being a great centre Of trade, II
swarms with merchants shopkes pers, ar
tisans, ard all the classes that help TO in
sure comfort and luxury to wealthy
court.
There are now more people in segan
than in Fekin. and they are more pros
porous. while they are. it is believed. de-
voted to the dynasty which in 1S6S-I0,
saved them from the Mohammedan rebels
who would have converted them by force.
Segan occupies perhaps the very best
strategical position Il China. All the
great roads converge on it-one in parti-
cular stretches straight to Pekin-and it
has communication by water through the
Hoang-Ho and the great canals with every
portion Of the empire. 1t is protected
on three sides by mountains. and on the
fourth by the river. and is well fortified
after the ancient fashion, which the Chi-
nese will soon learn to Improve. They
are master masons. II they are nothing
else. 1t is. moreover. protected by its
distance from everywhere.
The maritime powers could not attempt
to march an army $50 miles through the
very thick of China. while few fatboats
sunk in the reaches Of the Hoans-HO
would render access by water absolutely
impossible.

BROOKLYN FANS PLEASED.

tory Over the PhilIics.

BROOKLYN, Sept. Beautiful weather
and fast playing coupled with a clean-cut
victory for the Brooklyns over the Phila-
delphia club made today-s game at Wash
ington Park enjoyable for 5000 spectators.
There was one unpleasant feature when
Dahlen objected to a strike called by
Umpire Hurst in the fifth inning and then
stepped upon the plate. where he stopped
a pitched ball from Bernhard with his
hand. For this offence Hurst called
Dahlen out, the ball being declared a
strike. The score:
