Doll Kindergarten.

Over in Germany there are 5000
children in one district alone who are
employed to dress dolls and help in
the manufacture of various kinds of
toys. All the children who do this
work are under IL years of age. They
are taught the art of dressing doll
at the tender age of four. At the
same time, according to the compul-
sorry education law, they are obliged
to go to kindergarten for at least one
year, and that term is devoted to such
things as the/ making of dolls and
dressing them, doing everything, in
fact, excepting molding the heads,
which is done by men expert at it.
After that the German children have
three or four years of study, when
they are allowed to go into the doll
and toy factories to add to the family's
income to the extent OF a few cents q
day.

Dogs and Monkey. in the Mirror.

I saw performing monkey the
other day. He went through many
tricks very successfully. Toward the
end of the performance he was ordered
to put on his cooked hat before hand
mirror which he did. He was next
told to set it straight, and he tried on
his generals headgear repeatedly at
different angles, causing much laugh
ter. When all was over, and the
organ man, his helpers and the two
monkeys were preparing to depart, I
saw that 'the general" had possessed
himself of the little mirror and was
studying his own countenance with
great delight. He had placed the
glass on top of the barrel organ, and
he bent over it again and again,
grimacing energetically. He after
ward picked up his mirror and con-
templated himself earnestly and con-
tentedly at different angles. His face
had been profoundly sad, like the
faces of most monkeys l have seen,
but now the wrinkles smoothed them
selves ont and he nearly smiled
Why is it that dogs hardly ever re-
gard picture as anything but fiat

quaintance [ know but one dog who
sees that portraits are likenesses of
people. As for his own reflection in
glass;, dog generally mistakes it for
an enemy and "goes for" it. Later,
when knocks on the nose and absence
of scent have done their part in con-
vincing him of his mistake, dog will
look coldly, not TO say despitefully, at
the mirror. Sometimes it is as if
dogs resented their reflections as
caricatures of themselves. London

RUBBER CATERERS IN BRAZIL.
Tho U. S. S. Wilmington Explores the
.#.. Amazon River,

The U. S. S. Wilmington Explores the
Amazon River.
''By studying on map of Brazil
you can sec that the Para river ex-
tends almost due west south Of the
Island of Marajo, to network of
narrow streams, known az the Passes,
which connect the Para with the
Amazon. These numerous channels
are from 70 to $50 yards in width, and
some of them are navigable for YES
sells of 18 to 20 feet draft. These
Passes are interesting enough to those
traversing them in small craft, but to
the officers and sailors of such steam
ers at U. S. s. Wilmington they are
trebly SO. At night there is little to
arrest the attention other than tho
weird, dark shapes of the banks, which
ever seem close aboard. The land
being low and fiat, and the trees near
the waters edge, it seems as if the
ship has forsaken her natural element
and is running overland on invisible
wheels.
when daylight comes in sudden
burst of light like,t the unheralded flash
of the theatres illumination, there is
revealed on each side of the narrow
channel the forests solid hanging
vines, of creepers and foliage and
branches brilliant with the multitudin-
Gus hues of tropical vegetation.
"There is strange chattering of
animal life and whirr of winged
insects. The discordant cries of
myriad parrots echo from the trees.
There is human life, too. Here and
there embowered in the Jungle can be
seen little wooden huts, with matched
roofs and sides open to the cooling
winds.
'These are the homes of the rubber
gathers, who labor day in and day
out collecting the milky sap of the
Hevea brasiliensis. This rubber
gathering is interesting, and the Will
mington's crew watch curiously as the
winding channel reveals little groups
of natives at work along the edge of
the stream.
'"Those on board who have read the
descriptions tell others of the manner
in which the hslf-naked Indians labor,
of how each family works what is
called an estrada, or street, path
through the forest, which embraces as
many rubber trees as can be con-
veniently tended, of how these trees
are slit with machete and a cup
fitted in the cut to catch the sap, and
of the manner in which the owner
makes his daily round and brings to
his hut the collected iuice.
'"There is also interest in the des
cription of its next stage, when the
sap is dipped up by stick and re-
volved over a smokey fire. The smoke
causes each layer to coagulate on the
stick, aud when the desired amount is
formed it is removed and made ready
for shipment. These balls of crude
rubber usually weigh in the neighbor-
hood of 25 pounds, and are of dark
lustrous hue. 1t was novel expert
ence, this visit of the Wilmington's
crew to the home of the rubber gather
ers, and the closest attention was paid
20 the everchanging scenery as the
white cruiser steamed slowly along
through the Passes. "-Ainslee's Mag
