P1aythinss of Ancient Children.

The most primitive toy is the doll.
1t dates back to prehistoric times and
is found in every part of the world.
This one would naturally expect to
find 4 child, seeing its mother nurs-
ing other younger children, would imi-
tate the example with an improvised
doll. Toy weapons, again. are older
than history. Many Of the other toys
at present in use date from the earli-
est times Of which we have any rec
ord. In the tombS OF the ancient Egyp-
tians, along with painted dolls having
movable limbs, have been found mar
bles, leather covered bells. elastic balls
and marionettes moved by strings An
cient Greek tombs furnish clay dolls,
toy horses and wooden carts and ships.
In the Louvre there are some Greco
Roman dolls of terra Gotta with NOV
able joints fastened by wires. Greek
babies had rattles Greek boys played

why safety Matches strike on Glass.

Why safety Matches Strike on Glass.
There are two reasons why ordinary

naratively small increase OF temporal
true will cause this to ignite. Now,
giass is a bad conductor of heat, snd
the rapid passage OF the substance
over il raises the temperature Of that

N hen the glass is rough the friction
