Thirty Million Toys Consumed Annually
In the United States.

Thirty Million Toys Consumed Annually
In the United States.
There are 100000 children In the
United States, each one of whom con.
sumes at least two toys a year. These
toys laid together would form a belt
reaching from New York to San Fran
cisco. The making Of them is a huge
Industry in which the factors are mat
chine, men, and women. The machines
do the hard labor, the men attend to
the mechanical part, and the women
add the artistic elements and put on
the finishing touches. New York City
is the most important centre Of the
trade, and is supposed to turn out near.
ly one-half Of all the toys made in the
United States. The work is irregular
being at a maximum from July to No
vember, and at a minimum from
Christmas to April. A few toys arc
made exclusively by women. These
include several varieties of dolls, pa.
per figures, Christmas-tree decorations,
toy flowers, and dolls trousseaux.
With such toys as patent dolls, dolls
houses and kitchens, Noahs arks, and
the cheaper mechanical affairs, the
work is very evenly divided between
the sexes. Strange to say, women sci.
dom, if ever, succeed with mechanical
toys. On the other hand, 1t is just as
rare for men to master the art Of put
ting on q dolls complexion or coloring
a wooden COW so as to please the juy.
emile heart.
The trade was formerly very un-
healthful, but so many have been the
Improvements Of late years that most
Of the former drawbacks have passed
away. The workrooms are we'll ven
tilated and lighted, and the accom-.
modations praiseworthy. About one.
third Of all the work is done at home.
This is particularly the case with dolls
raiment creations in paper cloth.
and tinsel, and the coloring Of dolls
faces. The wages paid differ greatly.
Each shop or factory has its own sys
TEN. In factories wages vary with the
skill Of the operator, and run from So
to $S week. The more common prac-
tice is to pay by the piece When this
is done the operatives income runs
from fifty cents to as high as 50 a
day, and averages about eighty.fve
cents day.-New York Commercial

House Gowns For winter ,yonr.

Gowns to wear in the house are so
essentially feminine and dainty this
season it is small wonder that much
time thought and expense are ex.
pended on them. They are so different
from the street costumes and allow for
so much more exercise Of individual
taste that women take an especial in.
terest in them. They are not neces
sarily expensive, especially this year
In this respect they differ from the
street gowns, which call for perfection
of workmanship as we'll as good fit
House gowns, the term as used this
time, including tea gowns, include the
gowns that are worn in the house OF
that are smart enough to wear to an
afternoon reception or to the theatre,
but are too elaborate in design or too
light in color or texture for street
wear. A very good model for one OF
these gowns is made with a long skirt
and has no trimming whatever, but in
front and at the sides are rows of
narrow tucks put in to form a yoke
shape, stitched down so that they give
no unnecessary fulness, and yet make
the skirt hang we'll With this skirt
is worn a smart blouse Of lace or sat
in, embroidered net, jetted or spanged,
and with a basque that is longer 10
front than back. A yoke Of tucked
chiffon aud jet embroidery, and a belt
and sash Of chiffon, add to the soft
effect Of the gown, while the under.
sleeves Of chiffon are gathered into a
band Of embroidery at the wrist.

A Hint to the Furnlture Buyer.

In buying furniture for any part of
the house many things are to be con-
sidered Expense is only one Of the
issues. If service is limited, that
which has little or no ornamentation
is most suitable, because there will be
a great saving of time in busting and
caring for It, Dainty china can be
bought in the cheaper wares, and
many a heartache will be spared if
this and not the costly pieces are brok-
en-. Hours are spent in wearisome,
nerve racking shopping where minutes
would suffice were proper thought CIV
en- to the needed articles, and careful
lists made out beforehand. Elaborate
household equipments in any depart
ment mean time strength and money
to keep in repair. Where these are not
proportioned to the means, shoddiness
and shabbiness are sure to ensue.

She bathed the feet and earned the

band was tearing around the house
hunting for his overshoes and said he
would give half a dollar to know what
had become of them. She told him she
had sold them to the rag man and d.
manded the half. This made seventy.
five cents Of her dollar, and the other
twenty-five cents she got by making
three sunbonnets.
Mrs. Fred Barnes picked peaches
and washed dishes for a neighbor
Miss Zulu Cole engaged In a great
variety Of employments. She got FIVE
cents for washing Mrs Middleton's
dishes, ten cents for doing some sew.
ing for her sister, five cents from her
uncle for keeping her mouth shut five
minutes, FIVE cents for killing three
cats, tifteen cents FOR sweeping the
sidewalk in front of two stores, ten
cents for dressing up as darkey and
dancing the cake walk and five cents
for popping some corn.
Miss LYDIA Mills made fifty cents by

White chiffon with gold thread ani

OF all the skirts that have made

Colored wells dotted with chenille in
a vermicelli pattern are one of the

Triple shoulder-capes are a feature
Of many Of the three-quarter or full
length wraps Of the season, the edges
finished varously with a narrow band
Of stitched cloth or velvet, tiny roll
Of fur, or three rows Of fine gold braid.
The finish at the neck Is a Kaiser col.

halfway accidents down In Mexico

Railway accidents down in Mexico
are very serious affairs for those who
are responsible for them. They do not
exactly chain their directors to the
cowcatchers on their trains, but they
have a law which makes a fatal acci-
dent on a railroad train punishable
with death to the person through
whose ignorance or carelessness such
an accident occurs. 1t is superfuous
to remark that railroad accidents are
of comparatively rare occurrence in
Mexico.

Table Linen.

Fine, white table linen is always in
the best taste at dinner. What is
known as double damask is always de-
sirable, if it is fine and of small pat
tern. Good, fancy weayes of linen,
like the crepelike monte cloths, find
some favor The cloths which have
napkins to match in the regular din
ner size, three-quarters of a yard
square, are finished with hemstitched
hem, which is sometimes nrnamented
with an insertion of heavy linen lace.
Lace insertions in table linen are gen.
orally reserved for tea cloths and the
lunch cloth. The breakfast cloth is 81
usually plain damask, with napkins
tive-eighths Of a yard square. Colored
cloths are little used by people of re-
fined taste. The table centre, which is
placed under the low jardiniere of
ferns or flowers that so often Orna-
ments the centre Of the table, seldom
shows any color, although it is fre.
quently a piece of exquisite needle
work in white. Special napkins or
doillies for boiled eggs, corn and some.
times for rolls, are used, and fancy
doillies Of various sizes for plates and
cups, where the polished top of the
table Is uncovered. Table mats are
out Of date, as the heavy blanketing
used under the table cloth at meals
sufficiently protects 1t from hot dishes.
Do not allow table linen TO freeze
in winter, because it is easily cracked
by being folded when in frozen state.
Dry it in the house, even at the risk
Of it turning yellow. 1t can be easily
bleached on the spring grass In the
sunshine.-New York Tribune.

One wants to avoid making "spOt"
of a plaster cast, One small cast on
a dark wall with nothing about It in
the way of pictures or books would he
apt to prove the only visible thing in a
room. On the other hand, when a
cast is large and important, It may be
treated with the dignity that one oh
serves in hanging pictures. There is,
for example, that famous group Of
Singing Boys" by Luca della Robbla,
in bass-rellef, from the lunette of the
doors leading into the sacristy of the
Duomo at Florence. This deserves
place to itself over a mantel-piece or
a panel at one side Of the room may
be given to it. So, too, many Of tho
Madonnas, always in bass-relief, may
be treated as one would treat pictures.

South American Woman.

The men 10 South America hold their
women in the highest regard. Not
only DO they accord them distinction
Of outward Difference, but they guard
them with an earnest solicitude that
protects them from every care, and
they bear for them every burden that
man can carry for women. The cbiv.
airy OF the Olden times survives among
these people, and that is doubtless one
reason why the women are so con.
tented with their lot. A charming
woman assured a writer contributing
to the Woman's Home Companion that
the South American women make the
best wives in the world. After mar.
riage the woman is as one lost to the
world. Her career is finished as far
as matters outside her domestic af.
fairs are concerned. Her duties con
sist In bringing up her children, and
in exercising a mild sovereignty in her
domestic domain. There are no wom-
ems rights conventions, no wOmans
temperance societies, no daughters, I"
no mothers meetings. The wife knows
nothing Of the family finances and she
is not consulted in the consideration
Of her husbands serious affairs. South
American women are very charitable
and are kindness itself to the poor peo-
pie in their ueighbOrhood, as they send
portions Of bread and meat every day
10 their poor neighbors.- Chicago

A French military society is having
put up a notable monument to the
memory Of the French soldiers who
fell at Waterloo. 1t will occupy the
site where NapoleOns Old Guard
made its last stand, on the field of
Waterloo, near the village Of the same
name about ten miles south Of Brus-
sels in Belgium The design is by
the eminent French sculptor Gerome
and is highly praised. The principal
feature Of it is a huge eagle, the en-
blem Of France, wounded almost to
death-typifying the mortal shock
which the nation met at Waterloo.
