the billy-goat comes along and butts
II into a hollow place in the stump.
Another bank has donkey and rider
When the coin is placed in position,
the donkey gives first-class imita-
ton of bucking broncho. and the
rider is thrown face foremost to the
ground. His head bumps the coin and
it passes into the bank.
Toys That Teach Business
The idea of the commercial institu-
ton and the business place find repre-
sentation in the toys of the day. There
is a toy restaurant. operated on the
penny-in-the-slot principle, and the
guests of the restaurant may buy their
lunches with tin money. A fully euip-
ped kitchen where pumpkin pies may
be baked or Boston beans cooked on an
electric stove may be bought at a price
that is not prohibitive. There are also
pie plates shaped so that anyone of the
animals which went into Noah's ark
may be reproduced in mud.
For the boy who is fond of military
toys and trappirgs there is wide va
riety to choose from. One is a cannon
which shoots little hollow gum balls.
These are so light as to be perfectly
harmless. A large net is set up on the
rifle range so that when accurately
aimed, there is no danger of stray
shots striking other members of the
household. A number of soldiers stand
I up before the net, and the youthful
marksman is afforded abundant oppor-
tunity to test his powers of accuracy
in sighting his cannon. There are more
kinds Of military trappings on the mar
ket than ever before. Indian outfits
without number are offered some I'M
! usually uniue in design. The Roosevelt
/ expedition to Africa may be bought
a. the toy counter, including a com
plete costume. down to the famous
ye-glasses, in imitation Of Roosevelt
in Africa.
Toy Fleets of War Vessels.
The boy who is fond of water toys
tleship which may be steered from the
shore. There is a small electro-mag-
net on the vessel by which it IS made
to turn either to the right or the left
/ at the will OF the operator, who press
es little button on the button board
on shore. This is connected with the
ship by wire Another attractive
naval toy is the new game known as
barbette'. In this game there are two
fEl hedged fleets One of these is
| supposed to represent the enemy The
object of the player is to maneuver
his fleet so as to sink the enemy. AS
| he has to consider the elements OF
speed. steam radius, gun power and
weight, ii will be sen that this game
tends TO develop tactical ability in the
embryo naval officer.
There is a wider variey of toy stere-
! opticians. moving picture machines
and other optical toys this year thar
ever before. The perfection of the
microscope, by which the images OF
postcards and other illustrations are
