The Teddy Bear Craze.

Dolls, long cherished, dolized dolls are
being supplanted In childish hearts by a
new toy bears-Teddy bears, they are
called
From all quarters of the globe comes
the demand for Teddy bears, with poor
Miss Dolly gazing woefully out of her
wide open eyes powerless to prevent the
slipping away of her power. This is a
change at once sudden and surprising.
It would be safe to say that no mat
ter what sort of toy was first made, a
doll must surely have been the second.
The reign of the doll has been extended
over every country, savage and eiVillzed,
since any records exist of toys.
1t is said that there are 1000 different
kinds of dolls manufactured today. while
there are only two kinds of Teddy bears,
large or small the white bear and the
cinnamon bear. Ninety-eight cents is the
average price for Il doll of good size. Such
a doll is American made. with head con-
structed of sand and glue and a body
of cotton. excelsior or, mayhap, sawdust.
Teddy bears are not a very cheap toy,
the smallest cost 81.
But the Teddy bear has a lovely, soft.
furry coat which one can rub one
cheeks against contentedly, or which
ones fingers stroke delightedly. Per-
haps it was because of this warm coat
that the Teddy bear won his way straight
TO childish hearts.
1t is perhaps fitting that the rival of
Miss Dolly, herself largely a product of
Germany when she is of good ancestry,
should be a native of the same country.
For fifteen years past Garguerta Steff
has made stuffed animal toys like the
bear her speciality. She conceived the idea
of the Teddy bear. which was put on the
market year ago. All the past sum-
mer the popularity of the bear increased
amazingly.
On their return to town the children
made strong and steady purchases of
Teddy bears. The United States drew
heavily on the foreign stock of bears
until the demand soon far exceeded the
supply. It became a serious problem how
20 supply the market.

Fashions for Men.
From Harper's Bazaar.


One of the fads of the year is to have
the tie. the pocket handkerchief, and the
hose of the same color. Consequently,
for the morning there are numerous COM
binations In colors for handkerchiefs of
this kind. The borders are in plaids and
quite deep. and there Is the monogram
in the solid color in one corner. But there
are many who prefer white linen handker-
chiefs, and these come with narrow
hem and a small Initial
Hose are in solid coiors. For the present
stripes and fancy patterns are tabooed.
Silk and Isle thread are the best ma
terials. The walking sticks are plain with
a crook, and with little or no silver
upon them. All boots and shoes have
rounded. not pointed, toes. Boots and
shoes this autumn and winter will be
rubber soled or at least rubber heeled.
Goloshes and overshoes are among the
articles men are discarding, except, per-
haps, when they go out in the evening
to dances. etc. with low shoes or pumps.

The Professional Rondsman.

For years it has been a notorious fact
that a dozen or more men were getting
rich In New York by going on the bonds
of women arrested in the streets at
night, and taxing them anywhere from
s. to $40 each. The police formed the
most important part of the system, for
they arrested the women often for no rea-
son at all. and carried the word to the
professional bondsmen.
The system was something like this:
When business was dull and there was
need of money the custom was for the
police captain or the sergeant who ham
died this kind of money to go into a
deal with bondsman and have a large
number of arrests made for the ostensible
purpose of cleaning up the precinct The
women would be brought in and released
on bail by the sergeant. The cost was
usually IS, the bondsman getting his
money as soon as the women reached
the outer door. That bond made the wom-
ell appear in the police court the next
morning. Occasionally one would not APP
pear, and then there was a scurrying
around to get substitute, so that the
bail should not be forfeited. Many a
V oman has gone into court to be fined
i.nder another name to oblige the bonds
man.

IL was discovered that tire money makins
methods had not been exnauste /. With
the right kind of a magistrate. The
bondsman could do a more profitable bust
ness than he had already done. He could
have the magistrate put the women un-
der bonds for good behavior for a given
time.
The fee for the bond, was 10 per cent
of it's face, 500 for 5000 bond, and so
on up to $50 for a $500 bond, which was
about the largest imposed,

Rich, Works for 500 a Week.

With $4,000 in securities and $4,000 in
cash, Raymond |. Blakeslee lawyer of
No. 81 Nassau street, made his way to
the cellar and machinery rooms of Keith
and Proctor's theatre at Twenty eighth
street and broadway a week ago and
found Watson Raine, a bent and griz-
zled engineer, at work there. Mr.. Blakes-
lee turned over the 100000 to Raine and
told him he would receive in a short
time about $4,000 more. the balance OF a
legacy from Hardy Bliss. brother of
Raine's mother and wealthy landholder
of Canada, who died recently. leaving
one-fourth of his estate to the engineer
Raine took the money, heard the law

7 o'clocl: to 3 o'clock every day, and has
told his employers that he will continue
to act as engineer of the playhouse until
he dies or is discharged. He did not tell
them anything about his legacy until by
chance, f. r. Proctor, Jr. visited Raine
who has been employer for twenty years

several new tools, apparently of the finest

It was found, duly sworn to and recorded as his last will and testament.
 Men who should know say that more folks in Washington make oc- casional punts in or habitually play the stock market than in any other city of its size in the world. There are eighteen or twenty stock broker age houses there.

The supreme court of the United States has just rendered a decision which will help to make divorce less easy than it has hitherto been. It has been the practice for persons de- siring to be relieved legally from the bonds of matrimony to take up a residence in states where the condi- tions necessary for obtaining a di- vorce decree are extremely lax. In due time they obtain divorce, re- marry and return to the state from which they originally came. The marital ties in this way have been sundered in thousands of cases. 1t was all a quetsion of money. If those who desired to rid themselves of the restraints of wedlock could bear the financial expenses of doing so they moved into state where the causes for divorce are numerous and frivolous considering the momentous issues depending on the maintenance of family life in all its integrity and purity. The number of causes foc legal separation varies in different states. Indiana recognizes eleven causes; New York only one. Of all the states in the Union South Caro- lima alone has the credit of taking the Catholic view of the sanctity and perpetuity of the relations man and woman enter into when they pledge their fealty to each other for life. In that state divorce cannot be obtained legally. In the other states, where the bonds of matrimony are not so binding. the divorce mill is constant ly at work. In Indiana, for instance, there is one divorce for every seven marriages. Maine shows even d worse record. In that state one sixth of those who are married event ually find their way into the divorce court.

A novel point of law was raised hy the Hoboken Observer in defending a libel suit brought by Mary J. Neafie not long ago. The plaintiff conl- plained that she had been injured by an article in the local columns of the Observer. and she asked for punitive damages. The defense offered evil dence to show that the article alleged to be libelous was written by a re- porter and passed by the city editor when the managing editor, Thomas C. Mckeon, was absent on account of sickness. As the article was not in serted with the knowledge of any person legally authorized to repre- sent the Observer corporation, it was urged that there was no proof Of malice, and that therefore the de- fendant was not liable for punitive damages. The trial judge did not take this view. He charged the jury that they might assess exemplary damages if they were satisfied that the article was malicious and pub lished from actual i'll will or from an intentional disregard of the plain tiff's rights. The jury awarded the plaintiff s5,O00 damages. From this judgment the Observer appealed to the New Jersey supreme court, which granted rule requiring the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside. Chief Justice Gum mere. who writes the opinion, cites a decision of the court of errors and appeals which declares that liability for punitive damages 'is ordinarily limited 10 the actual vrOngdoer, and that those vho are only consequent ly responsible for the wrongdOer's act, on account of their relation to him. are excluded from such liability unless they have participated in the act expressly or impliedly by conduct authorizing or approving it. either before or after il was committed"

PRECIOUS STONES IN HIDING.
How Gems of Great Value are Kept
 Concealed in the Orient.

The turquoise, like the opal, is found in the desolate and waterless parts of the world. The principal deposits so far known are in the Per sian desert and on the barren pla' teaus of New Mexico and Arizona.
 Usually the best specimens are taken from disintegrated rock, and the mining of turquoise is not onl. accompanied with much hardship or account of the location, but can onl! be performed with great di ifficnlty The quantity combined with sothe; stones, as we'll as with gold, and bt itself, is so extensive in the cities oi eastern Europe that more of it is be- lieved to be bought by gem mer- chants in this way than is at present secured from the principal mines.
 This is not strange, however, for not only turquoise but other precious stones are known to exist in remark ably large collections in Constanti- nople, as we'll as in cities in Turkes- tan, Persia and communities of south eastern Europe.
 They are hidden away in ginger jars, rugs, old boxes and other re- 
 ceptacles of the household, where the owner believes there is little prospect of search being made for them. Gem collectors who have searched for stones in this part of the world say that no one can tell how many and what valuable specimens are thus hidden away, only to be brought to light when the owner is absolutely forced to part with them through dire necessity.
 Undoubtedly many a gem brought from the famous mines of India, Egypt and Persia in tse past has been thus seereted. Prof Flinders Petrie says the Egyptian mines al Sinai. worked from the first to the twelfth dynasty. may have yielded turquoise and copper.-Chambers's Journal.
