ests and, especially, against the cut
ting down of small trees, the Christ
mas market is well supplied with
pines, spruces and balsam frs of every
size and description. Holly, laurel,

paratively cheap.
Christmas is essentially a feast for
the children and it is to make them
happy that most of the money is spent
at this season. AS nothing will con
tribute more to the joy and happiness
of a child than toys, a great deal of
thought and ingenuity is devoted every
year to the invention of novelties in
the toy line. Only a few years ago
electrical toys were extremely rare.
| There were mechanical toys in great
variety, but they depended upon
| SPRINGS and clockworks for their mov-
| ing power. Since then, however, the
practical exploitation of electric power
has made giant strides and the toy
industry has availed itself of the Won
derful progress of electrical science
and industry. Where there was one
electrical toy five years ago, there are
hundreds of them now and although
the larger and more complicated cleo
trical toys, requiring considerable pow
er. are still quite expensive, there are
MANY interesting electrical toys which
are SO cheap that they are within the
reach of even the poorer classes.
Railway and subway trains and
leven trolley cars with electric motive
power are among the most attractive
novelties. Some of the more eXpen
sive models have moving figures ant
, are also lighted by tiny incandescen
lights. Electric motors from the size
of an English walnut to the quite ser
viceable size of a grape fruit are il
: the market and find eager purchasers
These motors may he used to furnish
power for all kinds of mechanical
+ toys. which may be purchased sepa
