rigidly secured at one end. The axle
is clamped in a wise; the car bearings
are slipped over the axle, and the re-
naming wheel placed in position and
riveted with a few taps of the ham,
mer Similarly, horns must be fur
nished with sound-producing means.
For that purpose solderers are en-
ployed, who are furnished with small
brass reeds, which are loaded in place
at the mouth-end of the horn and COW
cred with wooden mouthpieces. The
horns after having been equipped with
their reeds are tested. If the reed
has been improperly applied, the err
ror is corrected. Some of the toys, as
for example human figures, must be
dressed. and are therefore passed to
girls, who sew the garments on the
tin bodies.
Mechanical toys, which, at one time,
were almost exclusively made in Ger
many, are also produced in this New
York factory, though in limited guam
titles, to be sure. Many of these toys
are ingenious pieces of mechanism and
comprise interesting mechanical move
ments. Without exception the me-
chanical toys are all driven by clock
trains, the escapement of which is so
mounted as to produce the peculiar
effect desired. BY an ingenious ar
rangement of the escapement and the
clock-train, miniature drunkards are
produced, with reeling walk, maudlin
nodding head, and absurdly moving
arms, which simulate an attempt to
fill a glass held in the one hand from
a bottle held in the other. A fid-
dler who industrially saws away, with
out, however, producing any sounds,
is another interesting mechanical toy.
But perha ps the funniest of all these
mechanical playthings is the so-called
baking mule" which represents a
clown seated in a cart drawn by a
rather refractory mule whom he seeks
to control by rocking himself forward
and backward, and violently jerking
the reins. The toy is so constructed
that the mule gallops forward for a
few PAGES and then backward with
equal rapidity for the same distance
all apparently the result of the frantic
efforts of the clown to stop him.
In another New York factory stu
ated in the heart of the business dis
trict, dolls are made; not china dolls
but dolls that can be dropped upon
the floor without breaking. The pro-
cess of manufacture on the whole is
decidedly simpler than that of making
metallic toys. The steps are few and
simple. A peculiar composition is
poured hot into the mold to form the
head, arms or feet. After the por-
ton thus cast has cooled, it is removed
from the mold and passed on to work
men, who pare off the seams and jag
| ged edges by means of knives and
smooth the surface with Sandpaper
The eyes, which are specially imported
from Europe, are then inserted through
the neck into the sockets. Other OPP
orators thereupon paint in the eye
brows and hair and tint the cheeks.
The more expensive dolls are provided
not with painted hair, but either with
artificial hair of jute or with real hair.
The bodies of the dolls are merely
| stuffed sacks with extensions upon
which the arms and legs can be sewed.
| After the entire doll has been COM
| pleted it is dressed in clothes varying
| in splendor with the price of the doll.

any one would imagine. In addition to
raising grapes for wines themselves
hundreds of slips and cuttings are ex-
ported to other parts of the world.
The central coast portion of Califor-
MIA is said to be as we'll adapted to
vineyards as any part of the world.
Sheep land, which costs S. an acre, is
worth 800 an acre when planted to
grapes. The dry or sour wines are
raised mostly in Sonoma, Alameda,
Santa Clara and Mendocino counties,
in the interior, as in Madeira county.
One of the largest sweet wineries in
the world is in Madeira county.
In the winter the vines are often
wrapped in straw to prevent, the ac-
cess of insect pests. Late each fall
they are pruned until only a gnarled
and knotty trunk. supporting a num-
Der of short, thick branches, projects
from the ground. About the middle
of April the vine puts forth it's leaves
and tendrils with surprising rapidly,
and what before appeared a barren
uncultivated field is transformed into
a luxuriant expanse of green. The
grapes ripen in the early fall, when
they are carefully picked. If they are
to remain any length of time before
going to the winepress the most scru-
pulous care must be observed to see
that they are not bruised, for other
wise they might decay and spoil the
flavor of the wine. Wine making it.
self is a precise science. California
wines are gaining a great foothold in
Europe. They are sold in large guam
titles in the wine growing countries on
the continent. The American wines
are much purer than many of the
European products. The Europeans
are very skillful in the arts of blend
ing wines, and, strange as it may
seem. they often select American wines
for this purpose. The largest wine
producers in California say that the
practice of relabeIing American wines
in France and returning them to this
country under French labels is practi-
cally all done away with owing to the
increasing demand for American wine.

next tick" will be the noon signal,
and so as to give the operators time to
connect their wires with the standard
time-balls and clocks. There are time
balls in a great many cities-usually on
top of some prominent building, where
they can easily be seen. The one at
Washington is on the roof of the State,
War, and Navy Department building,
at the top of high pole, ready to drop
the instant the signal comes over the
wire. In the government offices at
Washington and in many places in 9TH
er cities there are large clocks con-
nected with the observatory by cleo
tricity. These are so arranged that
when the II O'Clock signal is flashed
over the wires. the hands of each one
of these clocks spring to II, no
matter what time the clock may show;
in this way hundreds of clocks are set
to the correct time each day.
Well, the moment the sun is supposed
to cross the seVenty-fifth meridian, the
telegraph Instruments give a single
tick the time-ball drop, the clocks be-
gin to strike, and everybody in the dis
trict knows it is II o'clock.

THE VALUE OfCHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t is
In Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is . remedy that the more
you take of il the better; it is not a
drug at ALL but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sWeetens the breath after
smoking drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegeta bles.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges;
they are composed of the finest pow
dered Willow charcoal. and other
harmless antiseptics In tablet form or
rather in the form OF large, pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton of the general health, better COM
pleXion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of ii is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but, on the contrary,
great benefit.
Buffalo physician in speaking OF
the benefits of charcoal, says: II ad-
wise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; | also believe the liver is great
ly benefited by the daily use of them;
they cost but twenty-five cents a box
at drug stores. and although in some
sense a patent preparation, yet l be-
lieve l get more and better charcoal
IN Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges than
IN any of the ordinary charcoal tab

HOW TIME IS MADE.
Uncle Sam Regulates His Clocks by
One of the Fixed stars.

One of the Fixed stars.
Clifford Howard in st. Nicholas.
Strange as it may seem. Uncle Sam
does not make use of the sun for reck-
oning time. but. as already described
in st. Nicholas. he turns his attention
to some of the regular steady-going
stars, or fixed stars" as they are CALL
ed. Every clear night an astronomer
with big telescope looks at certain
of these stars and makes his calcula-
lions, from which he can tell just when
the sun would cross the seventy-fifth
meridian. One of the great clocks in
the observatory is called the transmit
ter, because it transmits or sends out
the signal that keeps standard time.
This clock is set and regulated by the
star-time, and then every day at three
minutes and fifteen seconds before IL a
switch is turned on and the beats of
the pendulum Of this clock are sent by
electricity over the wires TO the tele-
graph offices in Washington and New
York. When the telegraph operators
hear this sound on their Instruments
they know that the noon signal is about

novation.
In Minnesota it has just been deter
mined to sprinkle the roads of Henne-
pin county with crude petroleum, and
Minneapolis is considering and will
probably adopt, the use of oil to allay
the dust on her outlying highways.
Many other states are following Cali

ing a great deal to help along the
cause of good roads in the West and
