HOME OF THE DOLL.
Methods of the Ingenious Thurinyian
 Toymakers.

1 EuSkhSeS VI kHC Toymakers.
 Dollmaking did not become conspic- uoGs as an industry in the Thuringian mountains until the middle of the nine teenth century, when a citizen of Son. neberg brought from London doll which was regarded ag a great curiosi- ty. It had come originally from China, ! and it's head, legs and nrms were nov able. This furnished an inspiration to the ingenious Thuringian toymakers, who promptly improved upon it. Up to that time they had made dolls only of wood and leather, but soon they evolved the wax head-at first a crude article. the wax being applied with a brush. but later brought to high per lection, thanks, it is said, to an acci- dental discovery. A man engaged ill making the heads dropped a thimble into his pot of fluid wax and on taking it out found it covered with a smooth aud beautiful coat of the substance He was not slow to seize the idea, the result being the adoption of the dip ping process. the final touches of color being put on with a camers hair pen ciI. Later on the movable eyes and closing lids. to feign sleep. were added. and the fleece of the Angora goat was substituted for human hair in the mak- ing of wigs. holding its color and curl much better. the doll as it is known today thus assuming it's final and highly artistic form.

SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST 3. 1851
ANGLO-RussIAN TREATY.

1t is stated in Vienna on the best au-
thority that the Anglo Russian treaty
has been signed and that official notih-
cation of the fact has been made to the
powers.
The Anglo Russia treaty, to which this
cablegram refers, has been subject OF
the most intense interest in the chancel-
leries of Europe ever since the close of
the Russo-Japsnese war. Almost i'm
mediately after the treaty of Portsmouth
had been signed, it was rumored that
Great Britain had made overtufes to
Russia for the settlement of the long out
standing differences betweenn the two
countries. The internal disorders of the
country of the Gar, however, postponed
all consideration Of foreign policy.
If an alliance, or even an entente, has
been arrived at, British diplomacy will
have added one more of its many tri-
jumps since the accession Of King Ed
ward. The way will be paved for an
agreement between Great Britsin's ally,
Japan, and Russia in the far East.
The Anglo French entente will be ma
terially strengthened and Germany will
find herself still more isolated than she
is at present.

THREE OHINAMEN KILLED.

Burning with hatred for their deadly
enemies belonging TO the rival On Leong
Tong society, band of New York
Cinnamon, numbering dozen or more,
and said TO be members Of the notorious
Hep 5 ug Tong organization, entered
narrow alley in Chinatown, Boston. last
night, and, drawing reyolvers, opened
fire upon halt hundred Cinnamon,
killing three and iujuring seven. AT
the first volley the Cinnamon rushed for
their quarters stumbling over one another
in their haste to reach shelter. The
Hep Sing Tong men chased their VIC
tins into their own doorwsys and shot
them down. Then, casting away their
guns, the strange visitors ran from the
Chinese quarter, most Of them escaping
the police. The trouble is attributed by
some to the shooting which occurred in
Philadelphia recently, for which, it is
said, Boston Cinnamon were partially
blamed. 1t is thought the Cinnamon
who did the the shooting in Boston last
night came from New York to punish
the On Leong longs for the Philadelphia
outbreak.
