The quaint town Of Nuremberg, in
South Germany. has become the prin-
cipal toy factory of Europe. The best
wooden toys come from the Black For
est, where peasants carve them from
white pine and put them together dur
ing the long winter nights: and the
ccstliest wax dolls are fashioned in
Paris; but there is hardly anything else
tn the wonderland of childhood that il
not made in the dreamy medieval town
of Nuremberg.
When Dickens wrote his novels. there
was a large toy industry in the East
End Of London, and 1t did not escape
the keen eye Of that close observer. Il
he were now living, he would find II
difficult to find traces OF craft which
suggested some Of the most charming
scenes of his stories. ..s
The London toy-makers have disap.
peared. Dolls may still be dressed
there for English nurseries, but they
are no longer made In England.
The bulk Of the so-called French
dolls, which are sold all over the world
come from Nuremberg, where the toy.
makers have mastered the art Of joint.

CYCLING FOR WOMEN.

Authority.

1t 10 Freshly Endorsed by High Medica,
~. Authority.
Il an article in the Nineteenth Cen
tury entitled "a Medical View of Cy-
cling for LADIES' the author, DR.. W.
II. Fenton, indorses the exercise. as
serting that it has done more to inn
prove the health of women than almost
anything that has ever been invented.
[ Let 1t at once be said, an organical-
~ sound woman can cycle with as
much impunity as, a man. Thank
heaven. we know now that this is not
one more of the sexual problems of the
day. Sex has nothing to do with it
beyond the adaptation of machine to
dress and dress to machine. Women
are capable of great physical improve
ment where the opportunity exists.
Dress even now heavily handicaps
them. How fatiguing and dangerous
We're heavy petticoats and flowing
skirts in cycling even few years ago

inappropriate dress has a certain
number of chills to account for. When
fair practice has been made and the
hot STAGE so to speak, is over, the
feet, ankles, neck and arms get very
cold when working up against wind.
Caters or spats, high collars and close
fitting sleeves meet this difficulty,
Summer or winter, it is far safer to
wear warm absorbent underclothing
and avoid cotton.
"The diseases of women take a front
place in our social life; but, If looked
into, 80 per cent Of them are functional
ailments, begotten of ennui and lack Of
opportunity of some means Of working
off their superfuous muscular, nervous
and organic energy. The effect of cy-
cling within the physical capacity of a
woman acts like a charm for govt,
rheumatism and Indigestion. sleepless-
ness, so-called nerves. and all those
petty miseries for which the liver is 90
often made the scapegoat, disappear in
the most extraordinary way"

Poulaoss.

| Poultices.
The application Of heat is often ex-
tremely useful in the relief of pain and
of Inflammation, or in Fastening the
maturing Of a boil or felon. The most
usual way Of making such an applica-
ton is by means Of poultices These
retain the heat much longer than hot
cloths, and have an advantage over
q hot water bag when moist heat is
required.
The making of poultices is an art
which can be learned only by practice,
and unfortunately for many poor SUI
ferers few persons ever master the art.
A good poultice should be perfectly
smooth, moist, but not dripping, as
light as possible. and as hot as it can
be made without burning the patient.
A pou1tice Of faxseed is perhaps the
most common, but poultices may be
made Of ground slippery elm. cornmeal,
bread, starch, or any other material
that will make smooth paste with
hot water, and will not dry too rapidly
and become caked and hard.
In making haxseed poulttce, the
f1axseed meal, the bowl and the spoon
for stirring should be previously
warmed, and everything should be
ready to the hand before a start is
made. Boiling water is poured into
the bowl, and then the meal is added
gradually with constant stirring This
is better than adding the water to the
meal, for then it is very difficult to
prevent Jumping.
AS soon as the paste is the proper
consistency-two parts Of meal to five
Of water being about the right proper
tion-it should be spread an inch or so
thick upon piece Of muslin, leaving
an uncovered margin Of two inches.
Then on the face of the pou1tice is
placed a piece of flannel of the same
size as the muslin. The edges are now
quickly turned over and fastened with
safety pins or basted, and the poultice
is ready.
The flannel side goes against the
skin, layer Of cotton is placed over
IAO QOu1IlCC, anu lAO WuOA0 Is COvSICO
with rubber tissue or oil silk.
The advantage of having the flannel
next the skin is that the poultice may
be applied very hot without burning.
If it is necessary to repeat the poul-
tees often, it is we'll to make bags Of
the right size, sewn on three sides
and with two-inch flaps on the end,
which can be rapidly pinned after the
bag is filed.
A poultice, to be Of any use, should
be changed as soon as it grows cool,
which is usually by the end of two
hours.
If applied to a commencing boil, It
should be only little larger than the
infia1ned part.
Generally it makes little difference
what material is used, the virtue be-
ing in the heat and moisture; but
sometimes faxseed irritates a very
tender skin, and then starch or bread
should be substituted.

center Of the paper roll and the ends
are mounted in brackets at the sides
OF the box. The outer end of the paper
is attached to the crank-shaft in front,
after being passed over the rod located
beneath the slot in the face of the box.
The crank is then turned until the por-
ton of the paper containing the first
row Of pins is close to the slot. AZ
the paper turns at sharp angle over
the rod the heads project through the
slot and stop further progress of the
roll until the last pin is removed, when
another turn is given to the crank and

Lightning.

Lightning.
To persons of distinctively nerv-
GUS or sensitive organization, the sea-
son of thunder storms is often period
of apprehension, IL not Of actual daily
terrors. Perhaps no array of reassur-
ing facts or philosophical argument
will furnish much comfort to those
who live in constant fear Of death by
lightning. but a recent report upon the
subject by Prof. Henry Of the United
States weather bureau puts the matter
in such a way as to show how unrea-
sonable is their fears. It appears that
the total number Of deaths by light
ming in this country last year was five
hundred and sixty-two. That was more
than usual, yet 1t is less than one
tenth the number Of those who lost
their lives in railroad accidents dur
ing the same period; and a glance al
the number Of deaths among those
who follow the sea, or those, even, WHO
pursue any one of number of other
familiar occupations, will also be reas-
surfing. a
But because the chance of being
struck by lightning is really so small
is no reason for neglecting wise pre-
cautions. Prof. Henry lays specia,
stress upon the danger of wire clothes
lines, which. he says, not only imperil
the life of the laundress, but endanger
the house to which they are attached.
A dozen persons were killed last year
while removing clothes from such lines
or standing near them during a thun-
der storm, and number Of houses
supplied with them were set on fire.
Accepted popular expressions always
have sound basis of truth. 1t may
comfort the timid, therefore, to note
that "about as much chance as he has
OF being struck by lightning" is still
regarded as one of the strongest ex.
pressions in the language.

DR. WILLIAM HARRIS
Preached Two Sermons Yesterday in Interest of Galveston Churches.

Dr. William Harris, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Galveston. Tex, is in the city in the interest of he Baptist churches of that city and the section of Texas devastated by the September storm Dr. Harris preached two sermons yester- day, one at the Southside Baptist Church at Il o'clock Tn the morning and one at the First Baptist Church last night. The sub ject of both sermons was the storm and the havoc it wrought along the gulf coast of Texas He gave most vivid and graphic description of the awful catastrophe and of the suffering it entailed upon the people in its path.
 Twenty-two Baptist churches in Calves ton and that immediate section of Texas were totally destroyed by the storm, and Dr. Harris is making a tour of the South in an effort to raise funds for rebuilding as many of them as possible. Envelopes were distributed among the audience at both the morning and evening services and all were requested to contribute as liberally as possible for the relief of the church in Texas. He stated that the contributions could be sent to the trustees of his church at Galveston.

Meeting Will be Held in Atlanta
 Today
A FIGHT FOR THAT CITY
Believed That Southern Association Will be Recognized by National League-Managers Are Sign-
 ing Players-Prospects.

E. T. Peter of Selma has called meet purpose of organizing a Georgia-Alabama Baseball League. In his call for the meet ing MT. Peter states that the league will be composed of the cities of Selma and Montgomery Ala, and Rome, Atlanta, Ma con and Columbus, Ga.
 It is claimed for this proposed league that the railroad fare will be small item, and by thus forming a compact organiza- tion with short mileage and small salaries the clubs will be able to play through the season.
 The Georgia-Alabama League will hardly be able to get a franchise for a team in Atlanta, as President Kent, of the South ern Association, has already applied for protection for that city in the Southern Association, and until he fails to comply with the National League agreement Presi- dent Young will not likely consider an ap- plication from any other league The Att lanta papers, spurred on by Captain Meyer, are doing all in their power to prevent the placing of a Southern Association team in that city. They are bitterly opposed to en- tering a league in which New Orleans has team, and on this proposition alone they base their opposition to the Southern As sociation Presidet Kent of the latter or- ganization states positively that a team will be located in Atlanta whether Atlanta people have any connection with 1t or not If he adheres to this determination the promoters of the Georgia-Alabama League will have to look around for another city to take the sixth franchise.
 The progress made by the cities in the Southern Association has been satisfactory so far. Six of the cities, all that received franchises at the Birmingham meeting, on October 20, have paid in the money neces- sary for protection under the National League agreement and President Kent has applied for protection for Atlanta and Lit tie Rock. Franchises will be voted to these two cities at the meeting in Atlanta next Saturday.
 The managers of several of the clubs have signed a number of players, and have claim lists that will give them all the good play CTS they can use. Fisher of Nashville, Reed of Shreveport, Frank of Memphis and Powell of New Orleans have the names of several players to contracts. Mills of Bir- mingham has not yet signed any players, but will forward contracts to those on his claim list in a few days. He expects to have his team completed by the first or middle of January.
 Each of the clubs in the Southern Asso- cation will be required to post a forfeit of $500 at the meeting in Atlanta next Satur- day as a guarantee that the clubs will not drop out before the end of the season. On ,June 20 an additional forfeit of S50D will have to be paid, thus making a guarantee of 5000 that the teams will continue through the season.

several years ago, was expect
