The so.called "bull-roarer," one Of
the Oldest OF toys, has an interesting
history. 1t is nothing more than a
bit of wood attached to a string. which
on being whirled around rapidly, pro.
duces a loud, rumbling sound. The
ancient Egyptians believed that the
rumbling Of the "bull-roarer' would be
answered by the rumbllng of thunder;
consequently during a drouth the men
would sally forth, "bull-roarers" In
hand, to invoke the rain-god to send
them water from the skies. This curl.
Gus toy is still used by some savage
tribes, who believe its roaring noise
will frighten away evil spirits t""'
may be lurking near-St. Nicholas.

strangest of Palaces.

As his very few European visitors
know, the Sultan's palace at Constan-
tinople is a monument to fear. 1t is
assassin-proof, bomb-proof, earth.
quake-proof, microbe-proof. Aren't
tects and engineers are building and
rebuilding necessarily. Some new Sc
cret retreat is always under way The
entire domain is surrounded by an i'm
mense wall, thirty feet high. and the
choicest troops of the Empire stand
guard around it. An inner wall, twelve
feet thick, with gates of iron, in.
closes the private residence itself. The
walls of the Sultan's dwellings are
filed with armor plate to resist projec-
tiles. 1t is said that a mysterious pas
sage connect with ten secret bed-cham-
bers, forming an intricate labrynth,
No one but his body attendant knows
where the Sultan may sleep during
any particular night.
He has electric lights and telephones
in his own apartments, but forblds
them in Constantinople. Telephones
might prove handy for conspirators,
and he believes that dynamite cart
ridge could be sent over wire into the
palace. As to the real luxury of the
Yildiz, that is matter of course,
states Household Words. The domain
is a small world in itself. Five thou
sand people live within the outer wall,
not counting a small army of workmen
and the 1000 imperial guardsmen.
There are shops, factories, arsenals,
stables, a library, museums, picture
gallery, theatre and even a menagerle.

Trolley For Fire Engines.

A special trolley for conveying FIRE
engines is in use at Springfield, Mass.
The engine is carried on a platform
only nine and one-half inches above
the top of the rail, mounted on a truck
at each end. The front truck Is de-
tached and the front end Of the plat
form lowered to the ground when the
engine is to be loaded on the car. Plat
forms over each truck afford space for
firemen and equipment. The length
of the car over all is thirty feet ten
and one-half inches, and its net weight
is 14,000 pounds. The Springfield Fire
Department has loaded an engine on
one Of these cars in two and one
quarter minutes from the time the car
was in position to its being ready to
start, and has unloaded an engine
and attached the horses to 1t in one
and one-quarter minutes.-Engineerlnp

The intermittent talk about "a sui
eide club" is an echo of the sensation
which the late r. L. Stevenson created
when he wrote a blood-curdling story
of a club where all the members sat
down every night at a game of cards
and played for their own lives as
stakes, claims the Boston Daily Adver-
tiser. One man, and only one, drew
each night a card which meant his vol
untary death before morning-volun-
tary in the sense that according to the
rules Of the club, he must submit unre-
sistingly to be killed by the appointed
executioners. Perhaps no other story
was ever contrived with equal skill in
filling readers minds with fascinating
horror. 1t is very likely that Steven
sons gruesome tale has led to more
than one instance where two or three
miserable or mentally dlsordered peo-
pie mutually agree to take their own
lives. But there is no good reason for
supposing that there is or ever was
anywhere a real suicide club"

Toads ana Snakes as Pets.

"He who makes pets Of snakes makes
pets of toads as Well" said the animal
dealer.
"Toads are more intelligent than
snakes. They have, besides, no odor.
Tree toads are cherished by some per.
sons like canary birds. The run of the
house is theirs. When they wish to 90
out they hop to the front door and trlll
till it is opened for them, and on their
return they trill to get in again. They
sleep in beds Of clean sand and thrive
best on grasshoppers and flies. They
can be trained to hop into the hand.
Eyes, very clean, intelligent, unob,
jectlonable sort Of a pet is the tree
toad, but the snake is clammy. and
his sweet odor will give you, If you
breathe it long, a raclfng headache" !"

TNCLESAMSTOYEXHIBIT
ONE OF THE LARGEST CoLLEc.
TONS IN THE WORLD.

IL is Confined i'm the National Museum at
Washington, where IL undreds of Curl
Gus Playtbings Are Kept Nicely Ar
ranged and labeled Dolls Galore.
1t will doubtless surprise many read
ers to learn that Uncle Sam has one Of
the largest collections of toys in the
world. He keeps them in the National
Museum, at Washington, where they
may be seen by hundreds, nicely AZ
ranged and labeled, in the exhibition
hall. But on the balcony in the west
end of the 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, writes
Win II. Chandlee, is a range of tail
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 interest
ing objects besides, for it is in this de-
partment that everything relating to
ethnology is sorted and catalogued
for exhibition. Ethnology is the sci
ence which tells us of human races
in their progress from savagery to
civilization-ho people in all parts of
the world live, of the things they use
in everyday life, and how they use
them.
The toys and games in Uncle Sans
collection have been gathered by his
agents from every known country.
Many of them are rare and costly, and
beautifully made; but the most inter
esting and unusual are the product of
uncivilized hands. Some are gorgeous
ly colored and decorated with beads
and shells, while others are grimy and
pitifully mean; but they have each
brought their measure of joy to some
childish heart, somewhere.
OF dolls alone there are enough to
give any little girl reader new one
every day until she becomes too old to
care longer for them; ivory babies from
Alaska, dressed in little coats Of deer
fur to protect them from an Arctic
winter; South Sea Island puppets with
scarcely any clothes at all; Indian
papooses decked with beads and buck
skin; pink-cheeked waxen beauties
from Paris; almond-eyed japanese in
red kimonOs; black wooden images
from the Congo; and various other
dolls, fashioned from clothespins, pine
cones and corn nusks:

She Was Unruffied.

The young married couple who work
off all of their mutual recriminatlons
in public had been scrapping in a low
tense tone all the way out on the troll
ley chr. She claimed, it appeared from
the occasional word, that was a bit
louder than low and tense, that she had
caught him in the act of making GOO
goo eyes at a young woman standing
at the transfer station, and he was
dampening his collar until it looked like
a deck swab in a frantic effort to
square himself by claiming that size
was suffering from ophthalmia or
some other affection Of the orbs He
didn't appear to be able to get away
with it, however, and there was hard,
chill look on her face as she stepped off
the car at Chevy Chase. AS the two
started to walk off the platform he ac-
cidentally trod upon the lacework at
the bottom of her foulard dress There
was sharp ripping sound, and the
husband saw that he was in for more
grief.
Now, don't get excited" he ex-
claimed soothingly.
"Oh, I'm perfectly unrufiled,' she re-
piled, picking up the torn, foot-deep
lace skirt ruffie, but she bestowed upon
him neutrality-suspicious. look that

The Beers have taught Continental
Europe a lesson: 1t is that an army
may be too big, and unwieldly to be
handled effectively against a compara-
lively small force of mobile men who
know how to take cover and shoot
straight. Hence there should be a re-
duction Of armaments, with consequent
relief TO the taxpayer. 1t follows from
the fact that the British empire with
all its resources was three years, lack
ing four months, subduing the farmer
Beers, that the time has gone by when
a powerful nation can ride rOugh-shod
over a people who may be few in num-
bers, but who have an amply supply
of magazine rifles and ammunition and
know how to use them. That is good
thing for the whole world to learn.

Her Weight in silver.

A singular freak was that Of n
wealthy resident of Koniggschak, Ger
many recently. On the betrOthal Of
his daughter Herr Duchatschell had
announced that he would give her as
a marriage portion her weight in sill
yer currency. Accordingly, on the
wedding day the bride was formally
weighed in the drawing room in the
presence of the assembled guests. The
lady turning the scales at siXty-two
kilogrammes, a sack was at once filed
with silver crowns to the same weight,
with a half a kilogramme over for the
weight Of the bag The exact number
of crowns was 1890.
The bride weighed 1877 pounds. 1t
was the best that she could do, al.
though her envious friends assert she
had eaten all the fat and fiesh-produc.
ing food she could hold from the date
of her betrothal to the day her mar
riage was celebrated.

Murphy 6 Co.'S cotton Letter.

New York September 13.-The Chronicle weekly weather summary was of no special importance. while that of Brad street covering all of the leading cotton centers was rather bearish in some re- spects, although there was nothing to show an excess over last year.
 Cables were disappointing since prices were unchanged from yesterd day, and this led to some selling around the opening. The early speculation amounted to lit- tie, although prices eased off to 4 points. few timid longs letting go on the fail ure of frost to materialize in the south west as forecasted yesterday; moreover the latter forecast was for warmer weather in .he southwest over Sunday, and there was enough in the receipts to prevent new buyers taking hold with con fdence, although the best class of longs were disposed to hold on for a much higher level, feeling confident that the crop situation warranted a higher level of prices, and that the small supplies at Liverpool and sntall stock of certificat- ed cotton at this point should in them selves suffice to maintain present prices and lead to much higher ones Septem- Der was bought and sold rather freely around the opening, but the market on the whole was a stand-off. bulls beina confident and pears fearing to put out

 New York. September 1s.-rhere is not likely to be any further frost scare on this cold wave. Warmer weather is pre- dicted over Sunday and following this we may of course, experience another drop in temperatures, but If the present crop is not in danger of frost. The pecu- liar part of the days market was the strength. January sold down to s.36 and then up to s.H before the close. It looks as though there was something under heath the cotton situation besides frost news. The factor may be a moderate crop. We are not at liberty to reveal names. but the head of a large New York trust company has received reports from business men in the south that indi- cate a very moderate cotton crop. We be- lieve this information can be relied upon. If 1t is approximately correct there will be big advance in price of cotton before another crop. We still advise caution for a few weeks yet. but advise buying on every little reaction and all interested in cotton should watch the situation care fully. If this is to be a moderate crop prices will soar and the holder of futures will make plenty of money.

WARM WEATHER EXPECTED

New York, September 15.-The cotton market opened easy. with prices to points lower under disappointing cables, heavy receipts. a forecast for warmer weather in the south and failure of last nights frost predictions to fully material ize. The first wave of liquidation carried January off to S.37 and other options in acc ordance. Fort Smith. Ark, alone re- ported light frost. though temperatures throughout the northwestern section of the belt were dangerously low. The fact that the forecast by the government in- diC ated fair and warmer weather for to- night and tomorrow created a confident feeling among the bears and disheertened these traders who had gone long last night at the top in anticipation of a scare in Liverpool and New York thls morn ing on general frost in the western belt.
 Following the call the market steadied up a few points, and during the balance of the session was inclined to resist bear pressure. Wall street and the commis- sion houses bought the January options, Europe bought March and sold aJnuary. The south and west operated in a small
 
 Houston estimate for tomorrow's receipts proved under the actual receipts for the same day last week and last year, con- trary to general expectation and helped to rally the market. The weekly trade re- views were summed up as favorable to large consumption of cotton goods this fall and winter, and southern spot mar kets held generally steady to firm at un- changed prices.

New Orleans, September 13.-The mar ket for spot cotton was quiet today at fairly steady range of prices. LiVer- pool refused to be influenced further by the advent of cooler weather in the American cotton belt and refrained from moving actively even at yesterdays re- duced level for spots, and accordingly buyers on this side were less inclined to take hold freely.

The open ing level of vSilues instead of being high CT showed declhAes of from 3 to points all along the linea both here and in New York, caused mainly by unfavorable ca bles.
