IN this country, says the New York
Herald. practically the only form Of public
mechanically propelled vehicle for town OF
city streets Is the trolley car. The auto
Noodle stage or omnibus, with gasoline
motor, which is relatively common abroad.
has made hut little progress with US.
In Germany and Switzerland a third
form, a sort Of cross between the two, has
been successfully installed in a number Of
places. In this, which has become known
IN England as the "trackless trolley" an
automobile stage with electric motor takes
its power from an overhead wire, instead
Of from a storage battery. as the usual
electric vehicle does with us. There Is
some latitude Of steering; in fact. the
sta &c may be run on any part Of the road.
unless this is ahnormary wide.
A committee was sent 70 Germany last
summer by the corporation OF Manchester
10 examine this system and has Just made
it's report, commencing the 'trackless troll
ley" for use under certain conditions. As
a result Parliament Is to be asked 20
authorize the equipment and operation Of
such a system in parts Of Msnchester.
The 'trackless" cars or stages are
cheaper 10 run than vehicles with separate
gasoline motors, not SO apt TO break down
and excellently well fitted for suburban
districts beyond the limits Of economical
trolley operation. Trolley lines are often
operated through such regions at a loss,
with a view 20 conditions I'm the near fu-
ture, when the population along the line
shall have increased. II Is possible that

Two proud and naughty ladies Of San

Mrs. Starr has not attempted to make
any collection Of mechanical dolls, which
are so many in number that a complete
exhibit would be practically impossible
and would possess besides little historical
value. Her Exhibit of American dolls is
not as yet completed, but has some very
interesting examples. One of these shows
a colonial quilting party, each member
Of the ten holding a bit Of thread and
bending over the saw toothed pattern
quilt, fastened in a tiny facsimile Of the
quilting frame Of sixty years ago.
The party was made by one OF the
famous "Innocents Abroad" whom Mark
Twain called the Poet Lariat. The tiny
dolls are made OF rags.
Yankee ingenuity is shown by the wish
bone doll, and the hook and eye doll made
Of cotton batting, its features utilizing
the household articles specified. The
hickory nut furnishes the head and face

brated play, 'Milia." There are a Spanish
toreador doll, magnificently adorned with a

The Canary islands are represented by a
matronly doll in a white mantilla, and II is
explained that this is the only Spanish
country where the white headdress is worn

most striking peasant costumes is that Of a
Polish girl made by Modjeska; and two
dolls gorgeously gowned in the Russian
,ourt costume. heavy with pearl and gold
embroidery, were the gif; Of Countess
Trinje, the wife Of a Russian diplomat. So
accurate in detail are these costumes that
the handkerchief the court lady carries in
her tiny hand is a mere speck in size, but
a perfect specimen OF lace making.
Lace making is shown IN earnest by one
of the little company. a charming figure

sits with her pillow and bobbins on her
lap diligently plying her trade. Near her
are a Nautch girl in yellow gauze and a
frightful looking Darjeeling rag doll with
one earring and one bracelet, its black
hair in twin pigtails at right angles to its
head and clothed only in its native modesty.

The doll inheritance OF Japan is a well

At any rate a pair or the dolls that

There are many oriental and other babies,

that existed between him and the one
time nursery joy has, as misfortune and
sorrow often do, resulted in bringing be-
fore the world the true doll, developed
mentally and spiritually by the mo-
mentary eclipse of her greatness. In
stead of vainly repining, she got hold Of
herself in the most remarkable manner,
and from being merely a toy for the idle
moment she is now used on platform and
dais to illustrate chronological and
economic problems.
According TO Miss Dawson, the change
has been effected primarily by using those
very qualities that in the past have limited
the dolls sphere to the home circle.
Love and alteration are good stimuli
to the mental viewpoint" says she, and
the child who has been taught or has a
natural fondness for her inanimate play
fellow is the one who most quickly responds
to the teaching that the doll inspires.
1T is all very well to love a doll, who
has simply no claim on one except just
being a doll. and WI do not want to de.
stroy that germ of human feeling, but we

besides an appeal 10 ones affection. II

The man or woman who goes to South
Africa with no more baggage than he can
carry In his or her hat will feel much out
Of place. There is more dressing on those
steamers than on the biggest ships which
cross the Atlantic. On the way from the
Cape Of Good Hope to Madeira there was
not a man in the first class who did not
put on Tuxedo or a steel pen coat and a
stiff boiled shirt for dinner each night, and
most of the ladies wore low necks and short
sleeves. This custom prevails on all the
steamers, and on both side of the continent.
There is full dress at all the dances and
concerts. and the party in the saloon dur
ing the evening looks more like that Of a
Washington parlor than like the rough and
tumble crowd which one always finds on
the big Atlantic liners.
AS to the meals on the ships, they are
excellent. / had good board even on the
small Mediterranean coastal steamers and
on the vessels along the east coast. The
eating on the ships from the cape to Lon
don is about as good as on the Atlantic.
and there are four or five meals a day.

day: At 1880 a. m. the boy entered my

There is a bucket at the END Of each row.
In this game three girls can contest at one

gather her potatoes more quickly than the
others. The potatoes can be picked up only
one at a time. and all must go into the
bucket at the end Of the row. The one who
finishes first, getting her whole ten in her
bucket, is the winner.
Another sport in which both sexes con-
tested. was threading the needle. In this
the boy puts the thread through the eye,
while the girl holds the needle, The couple

AS to games for the men, these were
legion and some most ridiculous. One was
marking the deck with what was called
the bow line stretch, and another was a
pillow fight contest. In the latter two men
balancing themselves sstride a pole with a
mattress beneath them, fought each other
with pillows until one was knocked on the
mattress. There were about forty con-
testRnts for this prize and an Englishman

makes a round trip Of all the ports on the
Atlantic from London in about twenty-five
dsys. The cost is S25. and during the
voyage one calls at the Canary islands
