Toys OF VARIED DESIGN.
Paris Shops Contain Many Novelties Not
Seen Elsewhere.

Seen Elsewhere.
The worlds greatest depot for
Chris mas toys is Paris, and in the
shops of that city are found some of
the Eost remarkable products of mans
ingenuity that can be seen anywhere
Not only are these toys of interest to
the children, older people take great
delight in inspecting them.
AT each yuletide an exposition Of
toys is held in the French metropolis.
The island opposite the tribune of JUS
t1ce is the place usually selected. On
one side of the stairway leading to the
toy exposition you are confronted by
tablet telling that this place was
built by order of Napoleon Ill, en-
peror of the French" on the other by
tablet concentrating his first visit
to it in company with the empress;
over the door is the old. untitled yearn-
ings Of the people, ''Libertie, Egalitie,
Fraternitie,'' and these playthings and
number of uniformed gems d'armes
lead appropriately to the room full of
smaller toys which form the real ex-
position.
Only toys costing from one to sixty
cents are admitted. But between these
values long range of wonders is dis
played. One sees few toy kitchens. or
doll houses, or carpenter boxes. In
stead are toy toilet sets, with little
mirrors and powder puffs, for the en-
bryo coquette, soldier suits a-plenty,
and gems d'arme uniforms, and, above
all, mechanical toys. A butcher who,
being wound up, chops the meat on
the block before him into hamburger
steak, a gems d'arme who holds up his
club as if to stop line of carriages;
an orange vender, who will walk across
the floor wheeling her handcart before
her; bonnie" with ong-streamered
cap on her head and baby in her
arms; the whole population of Paris
in miniature; in short. all of whom
will act in becoming and Partisan
fashion, if you will turn the keys in
their backs.
There is a clever little aquarium
made like a picture of the ocean bed,
with wrecks and seaweed on the sand.
1t is framed and hung against the
wall, but the fish in this marine paint
ing are alive and swim about in real
water.
The main interest. in the exposition
is not, after all, in the toys, clever as
these are; 1t is in the fact that such
crowds press to see them-crowds of
''grown-ups," not of children. Hardly
one in ten of those who go is even &C
companied by a child. The other nine
are simply big children, breathlessly
interested in every one of the toys,
gasping with delight over the little
mechanical men, laughing at every
thing, watching open-mouthed the
Santos-Dumont balloons-great chill
dren, some of them evidently men of
place and cultivation, but all equally
pleased with a rattle, tickled with a
straw"-great children who can ordi-
narily be controlled like babies by a
word-there never was so orderly and
tractable crowd as a French crowd
but who can yet fly into ungovernable
RACES, past all self-control or reach of
reason, and make unnecessary revolu-
lions.
