MAKING CHRISTMAS TOYS.
A Thriving Industry In Germany,

France and Switzerland.
N parts or Germany, France ana
Switzerland every humble householder
takes more interest in Christmas than
the average American boy. This seems
like strong statement, for Christmas
is pretty thoroughly appreciated by the
young of America. But, great as the
festival is to them, it is not essential to
their existence. They could get along
without Christmas. but the toymakers
in Switzerland, the Tyrol and south
Germany would starve without this
midwinter holiday which makes a mar

carvcrS, doll dresScrs and toymakerS
in every hamlet and home of the Tyrol.
They depend upon the small wages
they make from these toys to put bread

All through the winter season every
boy and man carycs out wood animals

where breakfast is taken en- fam.He.
Every one has presents for some one
else. All the servants and tenants are
remembered. SO that there ara many
happy hearts on Christmas morning.
Substantial joints. geese and turkeys,
with other good things, have delight

houses where they are most wanted.
After breakfast the royal family and

, and an anthem.
Then comes which is the

king and queen and other members of
the family. The Christmas pudding is
brought in, blazing up mcrrily, to the
intense delight of the little princes and

a certain room have been kept rigOr-
ously fastened since the previous even

of her family having duly dressed a
large Christmas tree therein. The door
is opened, and the whole party troops

all guests staying in the house and
many of the household are invited by
the king. The king and queen and

Samantha Sanders had always want
ed a cuckoo clock.
The sandwich man half a block
ahead announced them for sale for
I1.9S-"fine cuckoo clocks, best made" "
She was racing after him as fast as
her prim New England dignity would
allow. She upset child with an all
day sucker in its mouth and left It

conscience terribly, but if for one mo
ment She lost sight Of the sign he
might turn into side street, and she
wouldn't know where TO get the clock.
Samantha Sanders was the thrifty,
unromantic janitreSs of n bachelor
apartment building. Her father and
mother had died when she was fifteen
and left her without a penny and with
an overweening desire to possess a
clock with a little bird that popped
out Of little door every hour, along
with more GomeStic ambition.
Samantha Sanders never had cared
for any one person so much as she had
for making home. Hiram Shell had
asked her II marry him, but her thrifty
soui told her she would be happier

all shut, and the busiest streets are as
quiet rs if it was an ideal Sabbath of
rest
But the quiet does not last long Oc-
casional crackers are let off. and
strings of bcggars soon appear on ev-
cry hand They are far more numerous
than usual and more importunate.
They know they will reap rich har-
vest on this happy day. for it is lucky
to begin the year with good deeds, and
it is not long before the streets are
filed with Il well dressed multitude
starting out to pay New Years calls.
Custom requires that all the men in
China shall call on their relations
teachers and friends. and for three
days the visiting goes on Women are
not expected to pay New Years calls or
to see the visitors who come to their
houses. As these are men, of course
that would be highly improper.
When friends meet in the street for
the first time in the new year they
stand and bow very politely; they put
their hands together and shake them,
saying, "Kung shi. kung shi," which
means Il respectfully wish YOU joy
and they often add. May you grow
rich" for that is the Chinese idea OF
happiness.
For three days the New Years re-
toic.ng goes on. and then all the poorer
classes begin TO work again. Large

THE "GOST ARTS"
They Are rot So Much Lost They
Are Discarded.

Not so many years ago it was quite
commonly asserted that modern work
men could not quarry, or, having quar-
ried. could not handle stones as large
as the monolths of Egypt" says sci

iic speaker Of note assert that it would
be impossible to handle with modern
implements. such large stones as were
used in the pyramids or to join them

Yet, when occasion arose. larger stones
Fan any of these were quarried in

LtAs themselves were transported not
only to sea. but across it and erected in

There are individuals today who

Of the largest pyramids or build new
ones ten times larger and more dur

~ built nowadays because they are not
in line with the trend of modern ambi-
ton, that's all.
1t is very doubtful if Damascus
blade would stand half as severe
usage as a modern band saw blade or
even as much as the spring of a forty

those wondroua blades, 50 far as the
mechanical execution is concerned, can
be eXcelled by apprentices and anna
