ing in perfect miniature. The dogs are
cut of fne-grained white wood, and
are most natural in their attitudes.
The toy makers of Nuremberg or of
switzerland could not have done more
skillful work. The art of these Arctic folk
is the more wonderful when one considers
the very primitive tools which they have to
use. The knife with which they carve the
dainty little figures is seldom more than
a bit of steel barrel hoop ground down to
an edge and dashed with thongs of walrus
hide to a handle of bone or drift wood.
The toys of the Zuni Indians are modelled
in clay and baked TO prevent them from
crumbling. Cows, goats and frogs, streaked
and spotted with paint, hold the first place
In this collection, but there are also clay
whistles and bird warblers, the latter quite
like the tin ones seen in our shop windows.
The bird Is made to sing by filling its hol-
low body with water and blowing through
a tube inserted in its back. There are also
clay rattles Of various shapes and sizes in
the Zuni exhibit, and wooden birds that
flap their jointed wings like those we hang
upon our Christmas tree.
INDIAN AND PERSIAN GAMES.
In the collection Of games there are a
great many objects interesting either for
the oddly of their shape, curious opera
ton, or beauty Of workmanship. One novel
game consists of four pieces of bone at
tsched by a bead string to a long steel bod

the bones tossed up into the air. A skillful
player may succeed in catching one or more
of the bones upon the steel point. and
scores accordingly. This game is a favorite
with the Indians, and is not unlike our own
game of ""cup-and-ball."
A card game from Persia, valued at many
hundreds of dollars, has it's board inlaid in
solid gold; and a set of chessmen from
India are Of beautifully carved ivory, each
man" being at least four inches in height.
Another curious game, from which our
lack straws' is probably descended, con-
sists of a bundle of arrows of carved ivory
or wood. 1t was an ancient custom TO toss
these arrows into the air, and after they
tell to the ground they were drawn out by
the men grouped around them. In this
manner, and according to the number and
symbols upon the arrow, captains were APP
Lointed in the army and various duties
were assigned to the soldiers.
The sO-called 'bull-roarer," one of the
oldest Of toys, has an interesting history.
1t is nothing more than a bit of wood at
tached to a string, which on being whicled
around rapidly, PRODUCES a loud. rumbling
sound. The ancient Egyptians believed that
the rumbling of the "bull-roaTer' would be
by the rumbling of thunder; con-
sequently, during a drought the men would
sally forth 'bul-roarers' in hand, TO in
woke the rain-god 10 send them water from

some savage tribes, who believe its roaring
noise will brighten away eVI spirits that
may be lurking near.

1t will doubtless surprise many readers
of the December ST. Nicholas to learn
that Uncle Sam has one of the largest
collections of toys in the world. He keeps
them in the National Museum at Washing

end of the big building is the real Santa
Claus shop. Like the spiders parlor in the
nursery song. the way to this wonderland
is up a winding stair"
On each side of the long balcony is a
range of tall pine cases fitted with drawers
In which are stored toys and games from
all parts of the world. To be sure, these
drawers contain many other interesting OBJ
jects besides, for it is in this department
that everything relating to ethnology is
sorted and catslogued for exhibition. Eth
nology is the science which tells us Of
human races in their progress from saw
agery to civilization-how people in all
parts of the world live, of the things they
use in everyday life, and how they use
them.
The toys II games in Uncle Sans col
lection have been gathered, by his agents,
from every known country. Many OF them
are rare and costly, and beautifully made;
but the most interesting and unuual are
the product of unciViliZed hands. Some

Saturday Evening POST.
Marquis Ito, the Japanese statesman,
said, while in st. Paul recently, that of all
the American customs that impressed him
as peculiar the free transportation ex-
tended by the railroads of this country
seemed most odd.
why" said he, should a railroad give
away tickets? Every bit of mileage to
them is the same as a piece of cloth 10 a
dry goods firm. In Japan every one has
10 pay for his transportation. l never rode
on a Japanese railroad for nothing In my
life"
When the Marquisa and party decided to
proceed east from st. Paul over the Mil
waukee line the officials Of the road ex-
tended TO the distinguished Japanese and
his companions the courtesy OF the line
and informed MI. Ito's private secretary
that the tickets and the private car cost
nothing. The secretary was visibly en-
barrassed and shook his head obviously as
he left the office of the company to convey
the startling information TO his master.
Shortly afterward Marquis Ito appeared at
the railroad office and insisted on paying
for the tickets and the use of the special
car.
Il have no claim TO your esteemed COM
pany." said the Oriental. II should not feel
right in travelling over your most excellent
road without paying for the great pleas

And so the Milwaukee officials were OBJ
liged to carry the Marquis and his party

shyness which was b%lushingly apparent
when l wanted to take their photographs.
They didn't quite understand the camera.
But when il was explained they were
pleased, and laughed and hung back, and
after many persuasions from the unlocking
crOwd-what a medley We sometimes We're,
Russian, Chinese, English, French, Ger
mans, in all sorts of cOStumes-they would
stand forward with the awkward delight
OF a yokel who is getting his 5 shillings
from the '%squire's lady for showing the
best cabbages at the village flower show.
L found the Russians had a kindly ad-
miration for the Buriats, extolling them
FOR their simplicity and honesty. These
Buriats, though they live in tents, are not
really nomads, but keep to one particular
district. Although the children of the Mon
gols, once the terror of the world, there
is nothing OF the warrior about them eX-
cept their splendid horsemanship. High
banked and comfortable do their saddles
look, but they manage their horses, which
are light brown, with black names ana
very swift, with wonderful agility. They
know well how their ancestors once swept
Europe, and they have a firm belief that
some day a leader will arise and regain
their lost kingdom.
To me there is something very pathetic
in this confidence among races once pow
erful, but now subjected, that the day will
come when they will reinherit their own.
PerhapS IL ls well they should nave TINS
little glow of patriotism in their hearts.
To-day the Buriats are pastoral. They
live Chiefly on milk, millet, and sheep Killed
on feast days. Their wealth consists in
immense herds of cattle; some of them
even possess forty or fifty thousand head.
In the cases of families owning great herds
the life is quite partiarchal. Though sons
and daughters marry, the new wives and
new husbands must come and live In the
family camp. Dung is used as fuel. The
cOmmOnest is that of horses pounded under
foot by the women and then sun-dried.
That of goats and sheep gives the hercest
heat, and is kept for winter use.
In religion they are Buddhists, but have
only been so for three centuries. They are
fond Of making pilgrimages TO Ourga,
great is this devotion that a Buriat will
frequently surrender the whole of his prop
erty to some shrine on condition he receives
Just enough to live upon.

Letter IN LONDON news.
We saw clusters of tents exactly like the
red Indian tents. They belonged TO the
aborigines, BUriat MongOls, who are van
ishing before the Muscovites as the red
skins are vanishing before the Saxons.
When the train halted l had good opor-
tunity for seeing these people. They are
first cousins 10 the Chinese, but all / met
struck me as being broader more sturdily
built thar the Chinese. Their faces are
round rather than long, but their cheek
bones are prominent. The eye is a warm,
~good-natured brown. Their skins are not
the Chinese sickly sallOw. but a rudy
bronze. The are all gOOd-lOOking men.
and had l met them in Nevada, il would
never have struck me they were not red
Indians.
The women folk. however, would have
put me right. Without being accused OF
lack Of gallantry, the Indian squaw is one
of the last ladies on earth for whom it
would be possible 10 rouse admiration
coarse. fat 10 unwieldiness. and With as
much expression as a potato. But these
Buriat women are often handsome with
the kind Of good looks you sometimes see
among Spanish Jewesses, only much dark
er. The features were well cut. the nose
refined. and the eyes black and brilliant.
Their hair was really black. As they
walked about in their gay. red print frocks
and no other color would suit them so
Well-they had a long, easy swing OF the
limbs that hOwed good physique. The
elder women get wrinkled-faced and rather
uncertain in their gait. Yet distinction re-
mains with them.
About both men and women there is a
