Copyright, 1901, by J. B. OHara.
New York, Dec. 20.-Fashions in toys
change every year, particularly In me-
chanical toys, and the demands of the
younger element for intricate arrange-
ments become more and more exact
ing. Toymakers and designers en-
deavor to keep pace with the advance
ment in the mechanical field and re-
produce in miniature many novelties
that are still commanding the atten-
ton of the world of fashion.
This explains the prominence that Is
given automobiles by the toy makers
this year. So much attention has been
given the subject that in all the large
shops and in the department stores of
the big cities the vehicles presented
include perfect models of standard MA
chimes. One of these is an exact re-
production of a famous racing ma
chine of French pattern, so perfect in
details that the American representa-
tive failed to detect the slightest in
accuracy in design or construction.
This so-called toy is equipped with
rubber tires, electric headlights, air
whistles, gongs and speed-indieators,
and these are all used during opera
ton in order to highten the realistic
effect. To carry the illusion further
a figure has been introduced to repre-
sent the driver, bearing a striking re-
semblance to one of the most cele-
brated chauffeurs of France, who is
we'll known among enthusiasts in this
country, and whose figure and features
have become familiar to the reading
public through newspaper and maya
zine portraits. Other well known pat
terms have been copied for runabouts,
cabs and coaches, and for delivery
wagons, mail carts, engines and fire
trucks. Some of these are operated by

ster pudding as part OF the festiv1fIs--'
The preparations cost S225, the ingre-
dfents considerably more These con
sisted Of 800 pounds of -four, 400
pounds of raisins, 100 pounds of cur
rants, 400 pounds OF suet, 191 pounds OF
bread cftfmbs, 95 pounds OF sugar, 300
lemons, l44 nutinegs and $50 quarts OF
milk. Remembering the previous fail
ure, the persons who undertook the
Preparation OF the pudding made 1t In
parts, building II up into the usual
round shape after the cooking had
been done. This colossal pudding
weighed nearly a ton and half, and
eight horses were employed TO take it
to the village green with all BETTING
ceremony. Thousands were there TO
welcome II, and we read In an old pa
per OF the day that as soon as the
carver commenced to cut into the pud-
ding the crowd made a rush for It,
breaking down the fences In their ea-
gerness, and fighting for 1t until not q
scrap remained,
At a church fair held about 10 years
ago monster pudding formed part OF
the attraction. 1t was not nearly 80
massive as the giants Just referred to.
though II stood four feet high and
weighed $50 pounds. The ingredients
consisted Of 72 eggs. So pounds each OF
flour, currants and raisns, pounds
OF sugar, "a pounds OF breadcrumbs, 3
rounds Of candied lemon peel, and
rounds Of mixed spice. This was also
boiled In sections and erected after
being well cooked.
In some parts of England the pud-
ding eaten on Christmas day Is year
old, the good wife making enough pud-
diDgs 10 last over several family cele-
bration days, but reserylng one pud-
ding for the following Christmas. II

the custom. Many housekeepers boil
the pudding twenty-four hours, and
then let them cool until one Is wanted.
the selected one being boiled from four
TO six hours longer previous 10 being
placed on the table.
There is no doubt that the pudding
was the direct successor of the plum
perridge Of the good old times" In an
old chronicle we read: THE English
also make a kind Of soup with piums,
which is not at all inferior to the pye,
which is, in their language. called plum
porridse."

Plum pudding Is as closely associated
with an English Christmas MS is the
holly and mistIetoe. No Christmas din
ner would be complete without 1t; and
so universal Is the custom Of eating
plum pudding on that one cay that
charitable societies distribute II. and
even the prisoners In the jails are
treated to this dainty.
Occasionally we read Of monster plum
buildings being made large enough 20
feed an entire parish.
In the village Of Paignton, in Devon
shire, the old charter provided that en-
each hftieth Christmas day the village
should provide a plum pudding large
enough to feed all the poor. In accord
ance with the provisions OF that char
ter. we read that on the first Christ
mas Of the nineteenth century a pud-
ding was made which weighed 900
pounds. The ingredients Included more
than a bushel of eggs, 100 pounds OF
Buet, ike weight OF raiSinS, and 900
pounds OF flour. Such a monster pud-
ding required good deal Of boiling.
and a large brewing copper was utli-
lied for that purpose. II was kept
boiling from Saturday morning to
Tuesday evening, and when those in
charge thought 1t sufficiently cooked IL
was drawn by three horses TO the VIII
lage green, and there served out 10 the
vast assemblage of people, not only TO
the poor, but to every person who liked
to participate. Unfortunately, II had
not been boiled long enough, for the
heat had not penetrated TO the center
of the vast mass.
A few years later there was a mon
stef pudding made in Southwark, then
suburban borough OF London. The
pudding was carried through the
streets In procession, headed by
band, which played alternately Christ
mas music and popular tunes.
In 1858 the village OF Paignton was
connected with civilization by means
OF n railroad and to celebrate that
event the people, remembering the old
charter. thought well TO have u mon

other chair slowly until he extends II
at arms length, when he pauses, hold
ing the chair in mid-air; then lowering
it, he resumes his original position
and with another bow acknowledges
the applause which his performance is
reasonably expected to elicit.
When the sensation produced by this
amazing performance has subsidized a
trio dressed like clowns is introduced
Two of these proceed to perform ball
ancing tricks with long poles, on the
ends of which are huge balls. The
third member offers some diversion by
bending over and picking up a bar
rel with his teeth, raising 1t and ball
ancing it thus while dancing about
with hands extended in the most APP
proved professional manner. This per-
Torrance excites considerable merri-
ment, but 1t is one of the most artistic
productions that has ever been accom-
plished with the aid Of machinery.
At this point a ring performer is in
troduced. A framework is BROUGHT
forward from which two ropes, with a
ring on the end of each, are suspended.
The performer, clad in the garb of an
athlete, grasps evolutions with all the
agility of the proverbial cat The ease
and precision with which all these
movements are performed, and the
close adherence to the natural museu-
lar eontortions of the human frame in
performing similar feats, cannot fail
to excite wonder and admiration. The
nervous, jerky motions that are usual
ly employed in gymnastic figures are
entirely eliminated in these perform
ances.

lection in this line. however. is pre-
scented in the figure OF a juggler who
losses a ball about, catching II In fun

In his hands, and also on the top of a
battered plug hat. The air of this
member Is impressively raksh. and mis-
performance is given with the swagger
Characteristic OF the class represented.
In all of these figures the mechanism
is of the most delicate character. Flne-
" tempered springs nicely adjusted

very motion 10 the different parts OF
the framework that are to be operated,
and so thorcu=hly has the subject
been mastered. that all Of the move-
ments are perfbrpaed with life-like pre-
cision and grace.
This, Of course. could only be done
after long study and careful training.
Fitting and finishing these parts Is an
exactine task and is very tedious. II
Is only because there Is an abundance
of skilled labor to be had IN Germany

ticles can be produced.

( ton. These figures were made in
Germany, and they contained the fin
est mechanism that the most skilled
workmer1 in the land of toys could pro-
duce. These pieces, it should be ex-
planned, are not intended for the
amusement of children but for the
entertainment of their elders. They with
be utilized in parlor performances,
and with the aid of a graphophone,
will constitute an enjoyable as we'll as
novel evenings entertainment.
There are several pieces in the col
lection representing musical perform
ers, including a colored banjo player
and violin solists, and in each the
movements of the player" correctly
represent the action which would ae-
company the production OF the cleo
ton by d human being. The attitude of
these figures during the performances
is marvelously correct in every par
ticular. In the case of the violinists
this is especially noticeable; the grace
full motion in handling the bow. the
position and inclination of the head;
every detail, in fact, displaying fam
iliarity with and mastery of the sub
ject.
There are several figures of fancy
dancers; ballet girls, and eontortion-
lists. Here, too. there is an opportu
nifty for displaying great skill in the
reproduction of graceful attitudes. The
dancing girls are models of perfection
in the poetry motion. keeping time to
the selection played by the music boxes
that form a part of each set.
These are merely auxiliaries, the

Judging from the prominence given
locomotives, cars and other parts or
railway equipment, 1t Is evident that
the steam engine continues to offer the
same fascination for boys and that the
loyalty of this following Is mistaken by
the counter attractions offered in other
departments. This devotion is recog-
nized and repaid by designers. The old
crude engine that was allowed to run
across the parlor carpet or the dining
table for the amusement of the last gem
Grafton has long since been discard
ed for the more pretentious locomotive,
copied after modern patterns, which is
operated on a track substantially laid.
Some of these engines pull trains of
half dozen cars at a high rate OF
speed. Improvement is shown in the
entire equipment, including rolling
stock, track and accessories.
Creative and constructive genius is
afforded a splendid opportunity for
development in this field. Everything
is at hand that is necessary for the
building Of a complete road. The
tracks are substantial enough to car
ry trains at a high rate of speed, across
bridges through tunnels and up steep
grades, passing through miniature
cities, where street crossings. switch
ing and signalling systems are employ
ed and every detail of practical rail-
reading in clearly copied. Terminal ia
cilhies are furnished in elaborate pas
senger stations, freight depots, round
houses, turn tables and sidings.
The starting OF one OF these trains
from q station Is announced by the
ringing Of bells, blowing or whistles,

other accomplishments Of noise and
confusion so dear to the average boy.
AS the train passes through the cit
