EIGHT Millions For Toys.

The real amount of cash money paid
out in the United States alone for toys
that on Christmas morning gladden. the
hearts of American children is con-
servatively estimated at SS,000,000.
This means about 60 cents apiece for
the something like 100000 of five to
twelve year old children. The children
of no other country on the globe have
anything like so lavish an average
amount of money expended for toys
for them. not even the children of Ger
many.Germany, the home of tOymak-
ing and toy giving. Verify, indeed, the
lot of the American child has been cast
in the richest sort of clover when it
comes to toy getting and not few 9th
er things in the bargain.

Arrow Throwing.

An old English sport that still sur
wives from the days when the bow and
arrow were in use is that of arrow
throwing, and in parts of Yorkshire it
is still made one of the features Of ath-
letic meets The arrows are straight
shafts three feet long, without either
barb or feather ana are thrown by the
aid of bit Of string wrapped about
the thrower's hand and about the butt
of the arrow skillful man can send
the arrow 100 yards. though il requires
some experience to cause the arrow to
leave the string without tangling. Once
the knack is acquired the sport is said
to be more fascinating than putting the
shot Or throwing the hammer.
