Christmas TOYS.

81 see that the merchants have opened
their displays of Christmas toys and the
mothers and children have commenced
already to look them over said the man
about town last night "And that re-
minds me very forcibly that Christmas is
almost here.

appeals to me more than the little ones

they grow a little older in buying pres
ents to send to their friends
1.-The merchants tell me that the stock
of toys this year will be the largest and
most complete on record, and that they
viii show far greater variety than ever
before. The toys are also much more
elaborate than ever before, and. therefore,
more costly.
ss'Of course we all have the standard
toys. The prices for these toys are the
same, practically. as in the past but
the novelties will be sold in greater num-
bers than ever before. This is u pros
porous year and the Indications are that
the Christmas trade in Birmingham will

GRACE OF WEIGHTS.

From the LONDON WorIu.
1t has been suggested, l see, that Il
would make for the greater dignity and
grace of future generations of English
women if from an early age female chill
dren were made to constantly carry
weights on their, heads as they do in the
east. There is nothing so to say, to keep
our women properly balanced. They hop,
wriggle, shuttle, mismanage their arms
and hips, poke forward their heads, and
generally walk as if they were either de-
formed or dropping to pieces.
